XXII. No. 3 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1927 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES --- EUGENE CHEN AND MARCUS GARVEY The statesman and patriot on whom the eyes of the world are riveted today is EUGENE CHEN, the able Foreign Minister of the Chinese Nationalists (the Cantonese) who are now writing a glorious page in Chinese history. Engene Chen, according to common report, is half Chinese, with Negro blood in his veins. He was born in the island of Trinidad, British West Indies, about forty-five years ago, attended school there, then proceeded to London, where he graduated as a lawyer. The condition of his countrymen irked him and, leaving the metropolis of the arch-exploiters, he went to China, started journalistic work and preached the gospel of a China free and redeemed. He was soon recognized as an unusually gifted leader, as a man of destiny, and the masses heard him gladly. He was thrown into prison, but the far-seeing of his followers rallied to his support and forced the President of China to release him, even though he had been condemned to die. Fate decreed that MARCUS GARVEY, too, should be born in the British West Indies. A full-blooded Negro, he first saw the light of day in the island of Jamaica. He was schooled there. Like Chen he, too, went to London, where he engaged in journalistic work. He, too, his soul stirred by the plight of his countrymen, caught the vision of an Africa free and redeemed, and shook the dust of London town off his feet. But to proceed to Africa and to sound his rallying call there would have been to kill the babe before it was born, and so he came to the United States of America, the greatest republic in the world, where are domiciled the greatest number of Negroes, outside of Africa. Here he pitched his tent. He formed the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Inc., the Black Star Line, Inc., and other auxiliary corporations, and made the welkin ring with his slogan of "Africa for the Africans, Those at Home and Those Abroad." Like Chen, he, too, was thrown into prison. Garvey, after two years, is still in jail. His followers are legion-loyal and faithful and devoted, but they seem to expect that, in this matter of their leader's release, others will do for them what they should do for themselves. It is high time that Marcus Garvey was back at his post, commanding, for black men, the attention and respect of the world, fighting for a free and redeemed Africa, writing a new and glorious page in Negro history. The United States of America view sympathetically the efforts of Chen and his hosts to redeem China. The United States cannot but give a helping hand to Garvey and his hosts in their effort to redeem their God-given Africa. Wake up, Negroes, and use every lawful means in your power to persuade President Coolidge to restore to you your leader. Africa is calling. Give your answer now.

Josiah Wedgwood, M.P.D.S.O. (Gol. Wedgwood was vice-chairman of the Labor Party in Britain in 1821) The best impression that I carried away from Palestine is the self-confidence of the Jews. Whether it wasman Tel Aviv or in the collières, they were at home. The Chutzitz swaggered down the streets of Jerusalem was not worrying about what anybody was thinking of him. What he wore was right, what he did was right, what he thought was right. The reaction he produced in other people did not matter. Even the Jew getting into the train at Kantara stretched his legs as he sat down and felt it last at his ease and at home; the little wonders of being an exile had gone. The Englishman his never felt like an exile anywhere; the Jews have, and this strange transformation into a people with a country has evidently worked a player. It does not strike a visitor that the Jews are only a small minority in the country. The Arabs are tucked away in villages, the Jews are the intelligent, and visibly there are a great many of them, so one understands that the Jew really feels that hears now in his own country with his people all around him. The government leaves him alone, too, and less him manage his own affairs, so that he lives in a republic of his own inside the State. In fact, all his life is a wonderful approximation to complete political and economic freedom, so that my most abiding impression of Palestine is of a young, self-confident population—at home. As an Englishman, I wish they were English, but they were the nearest approach to it, and I could not help being glad there were so many of them and that they were setting so fine an example of those right virtues, self-control and self-sufficiency, which we rather flatter ourselves are ideally. Anglo-Saxon. Labor In Tel Aviv Rules Everything Tel Aviv was my first vision of the new Jews. I got down there one night after dark, rather to lecture them on where I thought they were a going wrong—some business of municipal government. I carried out my scheme, but it seemed a waste of time. Even an English Labor X-Cabinet Minister might feel a little out of place, furturing those. Jews. It was a working class audience, 2,000 strong looking extraordinarily strong and clean. They evidently followed quite wall my speech in English. There was no hurrah-husband about them; they were thinking out the problems, kindly tolerant of this Western advice, just because it came from a friend. I had the uncomfortable feeling that they knew better than I did, but were too polite to say so. Labor in Tol Aviv rules the town Tel Aviv is a republic on its own; labor rules everything—the police; education, town development, sanitation—all come naturally and easily to them. Labor controls the building industry through Soli Boneh. Their trades unions have got far beyond the "Klassensamt" idea; they are in the cooperative guild, much more anxious to get hold of capital than to denounce it. Their leaders, whether it be the individual section under Sprinzak or whether it be the collectivist section under Ben Gurion and Ben Zwi, are much more of the business men than the agitators. They cannot swash their time on polemics, for there is practical work they have to do day by day. I should suppose they had all had a university education. While I began by trying to instruct these people, I concluded by taking notes—for our guidance here. I need hardly say that Tel Aviv is the only Western town in the Levant, and at present it gives one the impression of being much too modern for its surroundings—a sort of exhibit—all on show. I am told that in America excessive pride in one's home town develops naturally. Centently no citizen of Tel Aviv would dream of admitting that any other town could in any particular ho its superior.

About 350 will be stationed at Chinandega, scene of heavy fighting recently between the Conservative and Liberal factions, 400 will take up posts of Leon and the others will be scattered along the railway route, guarding bridges and water tanks. From daybreak to noon launches chugged from the cruisers to the dock, while white and Snake-eld officers gave orders. The bluejackets appeared in khaki instead of the usual white, having dyed their white uniforms for service ashore. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—In a formal statement tonight the State Department confirmed Managua despatches that additional armed forces are being sent to the Nicaraguan capital and stationed along the Managua-Corinto Railroad to keep open communication to the sea. This is a step in the direction of a virtual protectorate over the Central American Republic, which will be completed when the U. S. S. Mellville arrives at Corinto with 400 marines and six airplanes from San Diego and the transport Henderson puts in her appearance with a full marine regiment some time next week. Meanwhile the scout cruiser Trenton is en route from Guantanamo for Corinto with 200 marines from the scouting fleet. Brig. Gen. Logan Foland has been designated to command this force. When these vessels arrive the force of marines in Nicaragua, including (Continued on page 6) KANSAS EUGENICS BILL BARS INTERMARRIAGE OF WHITES AND BLACKS KANSAS EUGENICS BILL BARS INTERMARRIAGE OF WHITES AND BLACKS TOPELKA, Kansas, February 10 An amendment prohibiting marriage between members of the Caucasian and Ethiopian races was attached to the "dead" ugenics bill here Wednesday by the Senate committee on temporance and hygiene. The ugenics bill was killed Tuesday by the committee and no one thought it would be reported out favorably. However, an amendment providing that applicants to marry must not have less than $1,000 on deposit, in banks over and above outstanding debts and the amendment prohibiting intermarriage were added and the measure was reported favorably. The provision for $1,000 is regarded as a "joker rider" which will kill the bill, anti-intermarriage clause, and all. But there is some sentiment for eliminating the joker item, and keeping the anti-intermarriage amendment. Friends of the gugienics bill itself, which is unpopular, are easing the anti-intermarriage amendment may carry the bill through. Senator Parker said the provision about the $1,000 would have to be stricken out, as it was "ridiculous and unconstitutional." He added, however, that the prohibition on mixed marriages was a good one and should have been in the original bill. The bill is now before the senate with the recommendation that it "be passed as amended." At least 100,000 churches in the United States should be torn down as "unless and parasite," urges Frederick L. Collins, author and editor, in the March number of the Woman's Home Companion. He points out that the 200,000 churches in the country represent an investment of $3,000,000,000 and cost $400,000,000 a year to maintain, but are open only three times a week for religious services, pay their ministers an average salary of $800 annually and spend less than 50 cents a year per child for religious education "The average church would pass unnoticed to the house-wreaking company," writes Mr. Collins, who was editor of the Women's Home Companion and McClure's Magazine. "In brief, I suggest the quinquennial reduction by at least one-half of the existing places of worship and use of the say- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1927 German Deputy Startles Brussels Conference with Boycott Cry—Senegalese Negro Demands Africa for the Africans BRUSSELS, Feb. 16.—Demanding that the civilized nations of the world boycott Great Britain in event of a war in China and that a commission composed of George Bernard Shaw, Henri Barbusso and Fritjof Nansen, investigate conditions in the Dutch East Indies, the German Communist Deputy Munzenburg started today's session, of the Congress for Oppressed Peoples. A resolution passed by the executive committee to organize a world league to fight imperialism and to aid nations struggling for national independence was another feature of the session. Horrors of Dutch Rule Describing the horrible conditions in the Dutch East Indies which have given birth to the recent revolts described as "bolshavels" in press dispatches. Deputy Munyenburg made a plan for the appointment of a committee which would investigate and expose the savage exploitation of natives by foreign capitalists. Further evidence that the world faces a "white" rather than a "yellow peril," if perils are to be described in racial rather than in social terms—was presented by Theodore Lessing, German philosopher, who declared that the expansion of the white race was far more noticeable than that of the yellow. "The tremendous growth of the white race in a hundred years from one sixth to one third of the population of the earth emphasizes that danger," he declared. Lessing yarned his audience that only liberty for all people and social equality could save the world from the white peril. Africa for Africans The demand of exploited peoples of Africa for liberty was volced by the Senegalese Negro Senghor, a former letter carrier and now a vigorous agitator for a league of black people against the French and the British. "Africa for the Africans" was the slogan that he raised in his plea for the liberation of the black race. He described the exploitation of the African Negro by the British, French and Belgians and contrasted his economic condition with that of the American Negro—The Daily Worker ITALIAN DEMAND ON EGYPT Disarming of Senussi Tribes Near Tripolitan Börder Is Wanted CAIRO: Egypt, Feb. 18—Italy is becoming alarmed at the increasing activities of the Senussi tribes who are situated in Egyptian territory close to the Tripolitan frontier. The Italian Government today addressed a note to the Egyptian Government requesting the latter to disarm these tribes. At the same time it demands the expulsion of certain numbers of Senussi resident in Egypt and the arrest and surrender of others. The Egyptian Government has not yet resolved Band of 500 in Cotobato Defying Philippine Constabulary COTOBATO, P. I, Feb. 17.—Conflicts between Philippine Government forces and Moros in the up-river districts of Cotobato Province were indicated by a message received by Colonel Luther Stevens of the Constabulary. The message came from Governor Gutterez of Cotobato and called for Stevens immediate presence, saying 500 Moro outlaws in the district were defying the Government forces. Colonel Stevens, who only recently quitted the Datu Tahil Moro disturbance on-Jolo Island, left last night, taking with him the same artillery used against Tahil. The present situation threatens to be more serious than the Tahil uprising, as the outlaw force is larger and the territory more extensive. ings thus realized for vigorous expansion of religious work. "Church reduction viewed in this light is not a blow at religious prestige. It is a blow at dry rot. It is a solaem recognition that the average church is not fit to meet modern conditions. "This would be true of the average Protestant church, which is the only one I know anything about. The Catholic Church is a thing apart. It performs so many services for its people which the Protestant church does not attempt that it cannot be judged by the same stamina. I may say even its humblest cloister would be seriously and sincerely missed. "I and willing to believe that the same thing is true of many Christian Science churches. And I know it is true of most institutional structures: Protestant, Catholic, Christian or Jewish, but in modern plans to meet modern needs." The Rev. John Haynes Holmes, prescribing at the Community Church, on Sunday, Feb. 20, expressed concern about what "some historian, fifty or sixty years hence, may think and say of our epoch, 1920 to 1930," and he came to the conclusion that the historian would call it "the dirty decade." "As I walk the streets of the city," said the Rev. Mr. Holmes, "I find them filled with dirt. I ride in the subways and find them filthy. I stroll through the public parks and find them littered and neglected and unclean. But the dirt of the streets is no worse than the dirt in certain of our magazines and newspapers; the filth of our subways is no worse than the filth in our theatres, and the usfulness and disorder of our public parks is no worse than the chaos of our social life. "We find ourselves in an environment of decadence and social degeneracy. It is my first duty to convince you that the influences about us are really dirty and degenerate. "I will begin with the comparatively innocent but extremely significant phenomenon of women's dress. We are told that the costume of the modern woman is dictated by considerations of health, freedom and beauty; but I am not convinced. I find that respectable women of today dress and paint prostitutes used to dress and point a few years ago. "Turn to the theatre. No man today dares to take his family to a theatre without risking their subjection to contamination. "Then there are the 'art magazines.' There were pornographic pictures in circulation when I was a boy, but they were nothing like the things we find on the news-stands of this city at the present moment. "The pendulum will swing back just as far as it swings forward. If we do not know how to use our liberty, we will have out-and-out censorship and Purtanism in consequence."⁴ (Special to the Negro World) DALLAS, Texas, Feb. 13—The heir act of an 8-year-old colored girl saved a blind, white man from death under the wheels of an automobile here Thursday night. Frances Harper, the girl, was leading the blind man across the street in the down-town district, congested with heavy traffic, when a speeding automobile drove at them without slackening. The girl, turning her back to the auto-protecting her sightless charge—pushed the man from the path of the machine, but she herself was hit. Force of the impact probably saved Frances life. She was knocked 25 feet along the pavement. The car, which was being operated by a white man, sped away, followed by several pursuing automobiles, but escaped in the maze of traffic. Picked up by an autolist and placed in his car, the unconscious, bruised and bleeding child was rushed to a hospital. Her left leg was broken above the knee, scalp torn, face lacerated and serious body injuries, were disclosed. It is also believed Frances is injured internally. Her condition is grave, latest reports said. Reports of Frances' heroic act spread rapidly over the city and messages of sympathy pledging assistance to her and her needy parents poured in. Cuban Minister Locked In Treasury Vault HAVANA, Cuba, Feb. 15.—Secretary of Treasury, Enrique Hernandez Cartara and two Treasury employees had a narrow escape from suffocation Sunday when the three, while supervising the transfer of $35,000,000 of Treasury funds from the old Treasury building to the new office, were accidentally locked in one of the airlight vaults, it was learned today. After working frantically for some time employees succeeded in breaking the vault-lock and releasing the Secretary and his assistants.

Resolution Adopted Asking for Separate Schools—Agitation for Change in Statute to Force School Board to Comply Three heated discussions were held at various meetings in Denver recently on the question of Negro segregation. At the first meeting of the day in the school-board's administrative offices the matter of making a decision on the question was postponed, due to the absence of some of the members of the board. At the meeting of the allied council approval was given a resolution calling for separate schools for Negroes. The third meeting, a Negro mass meeting at the Zion Baptist church, ended when the group voted unanimously against segregation. At the school board meeting, C. W. Buford, Negro supporter, exchanged words with L. M. Hines, advocate of segregation. Buford requesting some other reason than color and race for the move to segregate the Negroes. Frank M. Taylor, president of the board, answered that as yet the board had not said it wanted to segregate them. At the mass meeting at the Zion Baptist church, the Rov. A. A. Heist, of the Grace Community church and representing the Inter-Racial commission, said: "Let us do everything possible to intermingle racially and socially." **Demands Social Equality** Thomas Campbell, Negro, said at this meeting that—due to the enabling law, before segregation could be brought about it would be necessary for Congress to pass a law, even if the state voted for segregation. The enabling law provides that there shall be no distinction because of race or color in any man's status. Hines, who spoke at the school board meeting, later submitted the resolution adopted by the Allied Council Association, which seeks a change in the state statutes to force the school board to build separate schools for white and Negro children in towns having a school population of 50,000 or more. At the Allied Council meeting he attacked the school board for not giving a definite answer on whether or not the board favors separate schools for Negroes. W. W. Garwood, legal advisor of the Allied Council, said that "the Negro segregation question in the schools and districts is the most important question that has confronted Denver in the last twenty years." $ ^{a} $ Resolution Adopted The resolution adopted by the Allied Council said: "In school districts having a population of less than 50,000, the board of education shall, and in all other districts may, provide schools for children of Negro blood separate from their other schools (provided that no discrimination in quality of school privileges be made on account of color)." Dr. G. L. Prince, pastor of the Zion Baptist church, said: "We want Negro teachers in the schools now, instead, of having separate schools and inferior equipment. We must fight this thing because it is unchristian, un-American, inhuman, unconstitutional and a badness of inferiority." $ ^{a} $ At the Negro mass meeting, speakers argued that separate schools would mean poorer equipment for the Negro, as in the South. The endorsement of the Negro mass meeting began: "We oppose segregation in no uncertain terms."—The Rocky Mountain News. U. S. AND TURKEY Commercial Treaty to Be Prolonged - Normal Diplomatic Relations to Be Restored LONDON, Feb 17. — A treaty prolonging the existing commercial agreement between the United States and Turkey was signed today, says an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Constantinople. Rear Admiral Mark L. Bristol, American High Commissioner, has been carrying on negotiations with the Turkish Government at Angora with a view to extending the existing trade agreement. The American State Department, it was announced yesterday, had received no recent notification of the progress of the negotiations. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. — An exchange of notes between the United States and Turkey is expected soon to restore normal diplomatic relations between the two countries, terminated since the World War. The commercial status quo probably will be guaranteed by agreement, and embassies probably will be set up by both countries. Rejection by the Senate of the Langanne item by left diplomatic relations between the two countries in the unsatisfactory condition of an impasse Commercial relations, on the other hand, have been governed by a modus vidiendu due to expire February 20, but which Rear Admiral Belsted, American High Commissioner at Constantinople, is understood to have prolonged through negotiations for the past month at Angola.

It shows that Chen, though a West Indian born, a British university graduate and "subject," was at heart a Chinese first, last and all of the time. It shows that Chen, while domiciled in the West Indies and while he was engaged in the practice of law in England, was always under the wholesome impression that he had "lost something in China." It shows that when a slumbering race of people has awakened to a complete realization of the dangers with which they are confronted, they gre. willing to give their uplifted support to the best material that can be obtained within the race in the way of leadership regardless of where that leader was born, where she was educated, or where he had domiciled before he came into their midst. Millions of oppressed and exploited WHITE FARMERS ARM TO PREVENT USE OF GEMETERY Seek to Keep Negroes from Using Cemetery After Land Is Purchased (Special to The Negro World.) CHICAGO, Feb 17. White farmers of Worth township, in the southwest part of Cook county on the outskirts of Chicago, resorted to deaporate tactics to prevent coloured Chicagoans from using a tract of land which was recently purchased for a cemetery by the Burr Oak Cemetery association of 407 East 35th street. Armed Guards Watching Fifteen farmer-owners of property in the township, armed with shotguns, Monday were patrolling the location of the new cemetery at 127th street and 44th avenue. Charles F. Tietzel, chairman of the township, declared that force would be used to prevent the interment of a body in the lot. Constable J. M. Cleveland declared his men would arrest the members of any funeral party that attempted to use the land, and that bodies buried there would be dug up. Sook Legal Aid Officials of the Burr Oak Cemetery association are seeking legal aid to remove the forced restriction placed on their property. They pointed out that the farmers have no legal rights to bar them from the use of the land, as Worth township is really not a village, but only a settlement called Alsip. The State law forbids the establishment of a cemetery within a mile of any village. The race now seems to be to bury a body in the tract, which would legally make it a cemetery, before the farmers can put through a petition, which they have already started, to make the settlement a full fledged village.

Whatever reasons the so-called "Christian" and other factional generals have for fighting, against, their Cantonese brethren, none of them has as yet denounced Chen as being a "West Indian monkey-chaser." This is, perhaps, because despite the fact he was born in the British West Indies, Chen is a Chinese and looks like a Chinese. This is as if should be. No race of people is more in danger of racial extermination than the Negro, and it is only when we have awakened to a realization of this fact and, like the Cantonese Chinese, decide to avail ourselves of and utilize to the greatest advantage, the good fruits that can be plucked from a corrupted Western tree and give our unstinted, wholehearted and united support to the best material obtainable within the race, irrespective of nationality or creed, that we shall eventually be able to bring the necessary amount of pressure to bear upour oppressors, exploiters and ungodly despoilers of our home and heritage—Africa. Marcus Garvey, like Eugene Chen, is a West Indian, having been born in the Island of Jamaica. But unlike ancient Negro leaders living in these modern times, when materialism has taken the place of the Christian religion, he is an African first, last and all of the time. He, like the millions of his followers, is convinced that he has "lost something in Africa." He does not believe in petitioning others for some of what they have found; he believes that the Negro should go out on his own initiative and search for the things he has lost, and, like Chen, he believes that the only place the Negro can find those things is in Africa. The writer is a native of British Guland, South America; and no master what opinion others may form about him, is convinced that Marcus Garvey is the best material that can be obtained within the race at this crucial moment and for some time to come in the way of leadership. He is also convinced that the only hope of racial salvation lies in the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, with its cry of "Africa for the Africans" at home and abroad. He believes that, at this crucial moment when the world is on the verge of a war that will not only remove kings and presidents, as was the case during the late "Eugeneparn war," when the Negroes of the world were called upon to save the day for western civilization, but which will reduce humanity and remove empires, indications are that the much cursed and abused Negroes shall again he called to save the day. But the Negroes of the world should realize the fact that Marcus Garvey, President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, is the greatest, most qualified leader of our race and that he is still in prison. The time for his release may be "premature," but whether we, the new and awakened, should again sacrifice our lives, our fortune, and our sacred honor for the preservation of a civilization that regards us on more slaves, serfs and peons, should be a matter for his dictation, even as Eugene Chen, a West Indian-born Chiusese, is now dictating the policies of an emancipated Chinse race and a free, and redeemed China.

RELIGION AND RACE PREJUDICE DAN KELLY MILLER of Howard University has given to the Negro newspapers which use his release a very thorough discussion of the living question of religion and race prejudice. The spread of Christianity and race prejudice, with the predominance of the English speaking Protestant peoples in the affairs of the world at this time, is due less to the spirit of the Christian churches than to the policies of Christian statesmen. This fact should not be overlooked in considering the question of religion in its relation to race prejudice. Dean Miller quite agrees with the three-year-old position taken by President-General Marcus Garvey on the color of the God men should have, and we dare say the brethren of the Negro church will go after him with a sharp stick. In opening the discussion, he says: "I contributed an article to the Student World, published in Geneva, Switzerland, last July, of which I am now giving my readers the benefit. "Marcus Garvey, some little time ago, shocked the spiritual sensibilities of the religious world by suggesting that the Negro should paint his God black. The idea was revolting even to the Negro, accustomed as he is to the color bias of the white race, from which he has barrowed his ideal conception of all things in heaven and on earth. The Western mind has so long looked upon God as being naturally and normally white that it has unconsciously identified His visage with His virtue. "If Mr. Garvey's ideal should prevail and celestial beings should be painted black, the change in the color scheme would be a fatal stumbling block to the white Christian world. Whenever I see Christ and the angels painted black on the walls of unsophisticated Negro churches, I am reminded of the never-failing tendency of human nature to ennoble and glorify its own type of flesh and blood. "Among all peoples in all ages the gods create man in their own image; man in his turn fashions his gods in his own likeness." What does the Holy Bible, which the white races have adopted is their own, say on this vital question? It says: "And God said, Let us make man in our image; after our likeness; so God created man in His own image, in the image of God created him; male and female created He them." (Genesis 1. 26.27.) If we ask where is that man and what does he look like, the male and female, we shall be in the better position to get at the truth and make the white brother show, why in the evolution out of which families and races and nations have been made, he should claim to be that original man, male and female, to the absolute exclusion of the black, red and brown races, all of whom came to type in what they are, the same as did the Nordic upstart, concerning whom not a word is said in the Holy Bible. Religion which fosters race prejudice is in direct conflict with the teachings of Jesus and the Christian Fathers. NATIONALIZATION OF CHINA BECOMING POSSIBLE In face of the fact that the Chinese people are fighting among themselves, being divided into two factions, the Canton and Peking factions, the fact remains that the nationalization of China and the liberation of the nation from the tyranny of the treaty powers of Europe, with the inclusion of Japan, has steadily gained ground, because both factions are in favor of the policy of China for the Chinese. On this question there is not enough division to make itself a disturbing factor. The treaty powers have for many years gradually encroached upon the sovereignty of China insofar as to jeopardize its independence and to make it subservient to them as to the conduct of its internal or domestic affairs, having their own territorialities in most of the large strategic cities where foreigners live and are governed by their own laws and customs. No Christian nation would tolerate for an hour any such usurpation of territory and authority and exercise of executive and judicial powers as the treaty powers have imposed upon the Chinese people, who are limited in their demand that such a condition of affairs shall cease. If the demand is disregarded it is highly probable that the warring factions will feel the necessity of joining forces and confronting the white enemy. The aspiration after nationhood is just as strong among the Asiatic and African people as it is among the European and American people, and just as the white races have secured their present domination in world affairs by standing as a unit and working together to put over a common program of conquest and exploitation, so must the black and brown races of Asia and Africa stand as a unit and work together. They are beginning to understand this fact, and therein is much hope that vast gain may come out of the Chinese demand for nationhood. Africa is beginning to make a like demand. Asia and Africa are waking up. NEW UNITED STATES MINISTER FOR LIBERIA NAMED THE unexpected has happened. President Coolidge, it is announced, has appointed James G.

As a matter of fact, just why Dr. Hood resigned his high office, following his return to his post from a visit to this country last year, has not been given out. Mr. Carter's appointment is in the nature of a promotion, in line with the new policy of the State Department, to fill vacancies in the diplomatic and consular service by promotion of those who have had experience in the service. Mr. Carter has been consul to Madagascar for a great many years. He is an upstanding Negro and he deserves the promotion he has received. There was some apprehension that a white man would be named to succeed Dr. Hood, as it was generally believed that the Firestone Rubber Company was in some way responsible for the recall of Dr. Hood. We have never had a white minister to Liberia. Since the appointment by President Grant of J. Milton Turner of Missouri we have had many Negro ministers, some of them, like Dr. Henry Highland Garnett of New York, men of great and deserved reputation. In the case of Haiti we have had but one white minister Since E. D. Bassett was appointed to the office by President Grant. We have no minister to Haiti at this time, and it has been reported that President Borno has intimated that his government does not desire that a Negro shall be sent as such to him. The statement may not be true, but that has been the attitude of the Haitian government, as we remember it, for a great many years. Let us hope that Minister Carter will make a success of his high designation to the West African Republic post. OF COURSE YOU WILL JOIN IN THE LITERARY CONTEST OF course. Why-not? We base our conclusion on the enthusiasm with which members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association joined in the contest staged in The Negro World recently, on the high subject, "Why I am a Garveyite," that there will be a concerted rush to join in the new contest, just announced in The Negro World, for essays on quotations from the writings and addresses of Marcus Garvey. The announcement sets out that all the essayist has to do is to make his selection and tell why he thinks "it is the most forceful and inspirational," and "supplies the greatest racial urge," of all of Mr. Garvey's utterances, verbal or written. The essayist will be allowed 500 words in which to back up his choice of a quotation. Now let the thinkers in the association get busy on their essays. They are given a splendid opportunity to express their opinions.

At least 60,000 deaths have been caused, says a Cairo dispatch to the Daily Express, by a virulent epidemic of relaxing fever, which has been creeping across the continent of Africa from west to east the last few years. The disease, which is carried by water, appeared at Wadal in 1821 and spread over an area of 3,000 miles in western and central Africa. The dispatch says it is now extending into Kordofan and central Sudan. Quarantine stations have been established and other measures taken to curb the fever, but with little success.

WHAT EUROPEANS HAVE AT STAKE IN CHINA From Philadelphia Public Ledger From China there continue to come pronouncements by various leaders which show unmistakably that the Chinese are presenting a united front against foreign "domination" All factions, no matter what Internal quarrels may wrack, them, are determined that "unqual treaties" must go; that the special rights under which foreigners for eighty-five years have built up a mutually profitable relationship must be abrogated. Foreigners are only secondarily interested in these special rights as such. They are concerned about land and buildings, ships and shipping facilities, railroad, telegraph and telephone lines, factory buildings, the value of which a recent estimate puts at something more than $2,000,000,000. To a certain extent missionary enterprises, such as schools and hospitals, enter the picture, also secured and unsecured loans to the Chinese government. There is little or no disposition on the part of the Chinese to destroy these concrete evidences of China's intercourse with the outside world. Confiscation is talked only by bribery and largely ineffective extremists. Intelligent Chinese want these enterprises to continue operating. It is only the answers under which they function that they want changed. Reason will probably prevail in the end. But just at present there are passions to be subdued and moral values, to balance. Making a treaty with a typhoon is just about as impossible as conquering a map. Neither course at present seems likely to succeed. One side to the controversy seems just as perplexed as the other, except, perhaps, that the foreigners have rather definite ideas about the advantages of not destroying what has been built up for common benefit no matter what system made it possible. WORLD TOPICS By DR. M. M. ALICE ASSEBRON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association A one-sided person is never very interesting. It is the well-balanced person who has developed all sides of his personality who is popular. An individual who aims to develop in this way must give some thought and care to his health, as one must first be well in order to accomplish all that he wishes to do. Proper living, with particular attention to the rules of general personal hygiene, will do much to help one to keep well. It is of great importance to get sufficient rest, exercise, fresh air, sunlight and good food. Try to spend as much time out of doors as you can. If possible, take an hour of exercise in the open air every day. If you cannot do this, walk to and from your office. If your office is too far away plan to walk part of the way, at least. Get as much sunlight in your living rooms and in your office as you can. Sleep from eight to ten hours every night in a well-ventilated room. 'Away ways sleep with your windows open. Fresh air is good for you and night air is good air. Give some thought to the kind of food you eat. Choose a balanced diet, which includes some carbohydrates, starch and sugar; some protein, meat, butter, milk, eggs, beans; some fat, some mineral salts; and some vitamins in milk, tomatoes and fruit. Do not forget to get some coarse food such as bran, wholewheat bread, cabbage and the like, to supply roughage to the intestines. Health helps one to enjoy life. It brings contentment and happiness with it. Thus give some thought to your daily living and develop your personality so that it may become "many sided" and more interesting to your family and friends. "I Know" By GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS Few of us enjoy being told things that are for our correction. Start such a procedure and you are cut off early in the attempt by this phrase: "I know!" Of course, if you are wise, you will understand that you are reading heavily upon the feet of human nature itself. We soundly know only when we have gone through what we know. The boy imagines that his father is a back number—that "things are different." Dad, than when you wore a boy." But fundamentally things are exactly the same. "The trimminga only change. Something like the clothes we wear." Expertience is the greatest teacher in the world, and yet we like the least to listen to her. But when you learn things yourself, when you carry around the scars that the hurts of love and sacrifice have left, you do—know. And to know in your heart is to play the gentle game in life—lightly judge and kindly speak. What a price one pays for a minute of anger! What a memory of happiness for a moment of thoughtful service. How futile the one, how immortal the other. I received today the clippings from a paper telling of the death of a dear old lady whom I knew as a boy. This heading rim in these words, "Life of Beauty Ends Secretly." She was 90 years of age. And when she died, they said she did not suffer, for she was not ill. She just fell peacefully asleep. People loved her because they know. Southern States may stop the teaching of evolution but considering the present state of man we hope nothing creats the command work of evolution itself - Heine, Independent. Some Things Garveyites Should Know Requested by a French general to retire his troops, the 869th Infantry Colonel William Huyward replied: "My men never retire. They go forward or they die." It is this spirit of the successful warrior that has enabled the Hon. Marcus Garvey to rise above his fellowmen. It should live in the heart of every Garveyite. It should be the dominant influence in every division. Garveyism must and will go forward not looking down, or back or in—but up, and out, and forward. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is interested in efforts of race adjustment other than its own. The universality of the ideal it fosters makes this inescapable. While we are convinced that African autonomy is the only way out, there’s much that is helpful to be learned from other agencies working towards the same attainment. The rank and file of Negrodom are passionately proud of the leadership of Marcus Garvey, but because of their dependency on white philanthropy and national sympathy, are not free to give full expression to this pride. It is not what others think about Garvey and Garveyism, but just the way you feel about—heres it the key to failure or success. Less tinkling eloquence and more of consecrated service is what our branches need to hasten the development and expansion of our cause. A certain section of the American Negro Press, has tried by subtle propaganda to fasten upon the minds of its leaders the impression that his countrymen in the West Indies, notably Jamaica, his island home, do not take seriously the program of Marcus Garvey for the solution of the Negro problem. An honest investigation on the part of these editors would reveal the fact that Marcus Garvey occupies an enwlable position in the hearts of his countrymen; the association enjoys the respect, and admiration of the struggling masses as well as the intelligentsia, and the British government, contrary to popular belief, exercises no undue interference in the humanitarian activities of the association in the West Indies. Out in Kingston, Jamaica, where tropical grandeur and nature's beauty are unexcelled, a busy, courageous branch of the association flourishes. The Rev. S. M Jones, a scholarly Christian gentleman and an indefatigable race champion is president, also commissioner for the island. The division not only ranks as the most influential in the island, but it has the further distinction of being one of the most progressive in the world. Let it be borne in mind, too, that it flourishes under the very nose of "The Gleaner," our most bitter opponent under the British flag, edited by the learned but unprinzipied Herbert DeLisser, coadventor of the cultured and unfortunate Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of "The Crises," official organ of the N. A. A. C. P. The division owns valuable real estate in King street where its spacious Liberty Hall and offices are situated. President Jones, energetically supported by a zealous corps of officers and members, has left no stone unturned to win Jamaica over to the idealism of African nationhood. That their laborers and sacrifices have not been in vain is evident from the growing popularity of Garveyism which has swapt the island, with new forever since the imprisonment of its instituter. Their meetings are held under the glorious canopy of heaven amid the glow of the azure moon, and are largely attended. The name of Marcus Garvey receives vociferous applause as fast as it is uttered by the various speakers. Among those whose loyalty and devotion to duty have helped to make Kingston one of our most variable branches are Dr. Bruce Forbes, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Allen and Mr. Charles Johnson, a promising young man with a bright future.

Just how brave white mobbists and lynchers are is demonstrated by the fact that 50 to 500 compose every gang that lynches a Negro.

The Negro is a factor and has part in all activities engaged in by peoples of all walks of life throughout our nation. Regardless as to how hard those who are intimate to the race may try, in their efforts, to have it appear that the Negro race is separated by a district line from the activities of other faces when facts are brought to light it will be shown that some member of the race will appear in connection with some activity and a time when such is legal expected — Last Tennessee News.

THE HANDICAP One of the greatest handicaps to the political and economic progress of our race in Portland is the lack of the proper leadership. We need men and women who are independent, intellectual and courageous, who are not afraid to speak their convictions. Our present leaders are too much concerned with public sentiment. They are too afraid of losing their jobs or the favor of some faction. They are too apt to boast in the presence of their own people and cringe in the presence of white people when it comes to the rights of the group. The sooner this sort of leadership is relegated to the rear, where it rightfully belongs, the sooner we will become a power in the civic affairs of this great city.—Portland Advocate. have accomplished nothing worth while nor do they find it wise to point to the part they play in the community.

C. Diggers in Mounds of Anolent City of Ur Come Upon Wide Variety of Toilet Articles Vanity cases and makeup apparatus of 3000 B. C. are among the discoveries reported by the museum of the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, which has an expedition digging in the mounds of what was once the world metropolis of Ur, near the mouth of the Euphrates, in ancient Babylon. The army of diggers at work under the direction of Major C. Leonard Woolley, representing the un versity museum at Philadelphia and the British Museum, in have in the past season, according to the report made public recently, worked on the remains of public buildings and have excavated an extremely ancient cemetery, digging up 180 different graves, some of them more than 5,000 years old. Archaeologist] discoveries of importance include the finding of vaulted and arched construction in use before 2000 B. C., something that was thought impossible of such an early date; a Phoenician inscription of about 1100 B. C., the earliest known in Mesopotamia, illustrating again the extensiveness of the sea-borne commerce of that great trading nation, the England of its day; an engraving of an earlier date than 4000 B. C., showing a worshiper performing, a religious rite, the engraving being one of the oldest yet found. In addition were found quantities of jewelry of very early date. Find Cosmetics and Mirrors Again and again the diggers unearthed jars of cosmetics, combs, mirrors and other technical equipment of ancient beauties. These were interesting because of their diversity of design and because of the extreme antiquity of some examples. Archacologists have not yet penetrated in Babylonia to an age when women were satisfied with the faces which nature had given to them. Beauty preparations have been found at all levels where early signs of civilization have been discovered. Britons to Discard LONDON.—Bond street-tailors are going to introduce this season the American style of two-piece suits and thus attack what is probably the sternest tradition of England—suspenders. Braces, as they are called here, are even more than language, the chief distinction between American and English men. No true Englishman ever trained his hips to support trousers, and instead he wears them right up to the floating rib. Now double-breasted coats are fashionable and spring and summer suits are going to be made without waistcoats, as suits are called. That means that the English must choose between showing their braces on a hot day or using their hips. She Dies at 126 DAYTON, O.

I must call your attention to the concerted effort of the enemies at this time to destroy the morale of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in that they are now making every effort to rob us of our heritage, the property of Liberty Hall here in New York, but we are issuing a challenge to the world tonight that we have counted the cost of Freedom and Liberty and our determination to obtain these, even if it rests our lives. Marcus Garvey is now paying the supreme penalty for the leadership of the Negro Nationhood, and you and I who are his disciples must follow in the footprints of that noble character, who dares to assail and attack the enemies of Africa for the Africans. Ronew Determination Tonight we renew our determination in the fight for Freedom and Liberty, and we call upon you the steward Sons and Daughters of Ethiopia, to acquit yourselves us men and women, for the battle is not to the strong, nor the grave to the swift, but to him who endureth to the end. Let nothing discourage you at this time. Let us cleave to those things that are enabling—those that make for freedom, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Let us so live that succeeding generations shall be able to emulate our attitude and become virtuous citizens, honorable men, enlightened patriots and defenders of Africa for the Africans, those at home and those abroad. As China, the awakened giant, has caught the vision of self-determination, so let us work and hope, that in the near future the teeming, sleeping millions of Africa will hear the voice of liberty and style the blow for their own emancipation and liberation. Let not our enemies thine that because Marcus Garvey is in prison that the cry of Africa for the Africans is hushed, for he has lit a light that shall not be extinguished, but each succeeding generation will catch this lightled pyre and continue to hold it aloft until Africa shall blaze forth in the fulgent light and Africa for the Africans shall be an accomplished fact. Turkish Women Enjoying Their Freedom CONSTANTINOPLE — Many surprises have come about during the brief period of the emancipation of Turkish women, but the most spectacular is the discovery of a group operating as bottledgers.

Leads in Germany BERLIN.—The male population of Germany, depleted by war losses, has not yet caught up with the female. There are more women than men in the country today, according to the latest available figures, to the extent that every fifteenth woman must of necessity remain unmarried. The figures show a population of some 30,150,000 men and 32,200,000 women, with 1,068 women to every 1,000 men. In Berlin and Hamburg, the two biggest cities, the proportion of females is slightly more, standing at 1.160 to 1.000 putting every seventh woman in the unmarriageable class. Peer Hopes to Displace Beer With Milk Saloons GLASGOW — Lord Hamilton of Dairzell has branched out in his efforts to make milk more popular, with the hope that a great many more persons will be taking this beverage in preference to whiskey and ale. Lord Hamilton is the owner of a model dairy farm and supplies only the best milk to school children at nominal cost. To encourage the people to drink as much as they want, the peer has opened picturesque little shops. Truck drivers, farmers, automobiles, every class and calling, in fact, are catered to, and the milk shops promise to become as popular as "pubs."

Invisible Rays of Use In Many Different Ways Those mysterious rays of invisible light which constantly play about us yet which we never see hold seemingly endless possibilities for durability. For example, says "Popular Science Month," the latest use for ultraviolet rays is in the testing of silkworms. Healthy worms have the strung property of giving off visible light when exposed to invisible ultraviolet rays, whereas unhealthy worms give off weak light or no light at all. Similarly, some dentists now use ultraviolet rays to determine whether teeth are alive or dead.

For until now "alligator pear" has struck many of us as an unusually chirring designation; it appealed to the imagination, suggesting sunny tropical glades, it whipped the curiosity, making one crave to taste the fruit that could hear such a singular name; and it stuck in memory, leaving no chance that one could confuse it with something else. But does "avocado" appeal to the imagination, what curiosity and stick in memory? It does not. It is a distinct come-down. Furthermore, it does not sound like a fruit at all, but rather like some kind of central American lawyer, and to judge from what the depatches are telling just now, about the last thing one would want to make a salad of in a Central American lawyer. All in all, it seems toug that the "firewars" exchange has made a mistake. "Alligator pear," to the man who expects to eat one, has it over "avocado" in ten different ways—New York World.

Feb. 11—Timidity is not a disease and anybody who cares to do so may prescribe treatment for it without risking prosecution for illegally practicing as a doctor. This is the ruling of the Paris court after trying a case in which a young man without a degree was involved because he assisted a regular physician, Dr Martine. In the latter a lucrative work of curing men and women. In many respects Martine adopts the Cue system of making his patients convince themselves that they are cured by constant repetition of appropriate formulas corresponding to the "Nancy druglass" famous phrase. "Every day in every way I am getting better and better." Only he has insulted humilious signs to meet the patient's eye at every moment. Dr. Martinez tells them to go to bed, turn out the lights and read and read again the signs until they fall asleep. There are eight signs to be used alternately. In sequence they read: "I am calm," "I am comfortable everywhere," "I speak clearly," "I am a new person," "I dominate," "My self-assurance increased," "My spirit is molded." The eighth and last reads: "I have confidence." The court debated earnestly whether timing is a disease or a weakness. It concluded that it is not a disease and consequently Dr. Martinez's helper is not practicing medicine. One thousand testimonials of cures for thoulihss were cited by counsel for Dr. Martine. They included a prison guard* a captain of Zouaves, the director of a school in Haytay, two lawyers, a flanco who became mentally strong enough to go through a marriage ceremony, and a Chinese who overcame his fear of Japan, besides numerous actresses cured of stage fright, several public speakers and dozens of sister-hearted young men who, before the treatment lacked the courage to ask their belo od a hand.

MAKES HEART BEATS SOUND LIKE THUNDER New Machine Tested - Out in Philadelphia With Very Startling Results Considered Wonderful PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12. An electric set-up with who hold speech is attached today, rumpled and roasted with the noise of human heart be amplified ten billion times in its first clinical demonstration at the University of Pennsylvania. Two honoured members of the junior class of the medical school took notes as the dull roaring of the heats of eight patients of the University Hospital, one at a time recapitated throughout the painful auditory The patients, all of whom are afflicted with some form of heart disease, were wheeled one by one, on their belts into the centre of the amputated shoulder the huge apparatus, flanked by two large rectangular loud speakers, and had the stethoscope placed on their chests. As the first patient was "hooked up" with the radiolite apparatus, a rumbling as of distant audible filled the room. "That's the heart beat" explained Dr. L. C. Chamble, assistant instructor in pharmacology, who, with H. H. Hopkins, of the laboratories of the Bell Telephone Company, New York, in charge of the "hear-heat amplifier," conducted the class. "That is amplified, ten billion times," BOOKS That Cheer You Up Noti ADVERT Dr. Gambie. Not ten million, but ten billion." The roaring was irregular as if a train were pounding on a barrel with a hammer, alternating my interval between the strokes. Ventilation spread over the faces of the students as they heard he magnified noise of the heart's machinery pumping the life stream through the men lying before them. Dr. Gambie explained the machine was the result of seven years' work in the Bell Company, laboratories. It was a weird opportunity to educate students to become familiar with heart sounds in diagnoses. Today's demonstration, the Gambie gold was its debut in a trial work. Heart beats have been heard over the radio before, but this was the first time the heart have been supplied to the extent and manner in which they were today. Differences in the heart beats of the several patients were discernible to the lay auditor. Some hearts beat rapidly, slowing up when the patient hold his breath momentarily at the request of Dr Gambie. Others were very irregular. 'How about that is that regular?' asked Dr Gambie, tracing the course of the beats on a large blackboard chart. 'I irregular,' said a nearby student. 'There were other tests and questions asked. The most interesting patient with a sixteen-year-old high school boy. He grinned hen he heard his own heart beats pounding into his ears, watched the blackboard chart of his heart functioning, and waved his hand in a cheerful goodbye as he was wheeled out "I am much impressed by the demonstration," said Dr. Gamble. "I think it has been very inspiring to the class who seemed to follow it very closely. All of the patients knew in advance just what the best way to be and they showed awareness to co-operate in the demonstration. The earliest measurements were based on parts of the human body. The "inch" developed from the length of the thumb joint, the "hurd" was the four inches across the human hand and the "span," nine inches, was the space from the end of the thumb to the end of the little finger. $30,00 Value Free A.

On Wednesday, February 2, the United States Senate passed Senate Bill 2770, to confer United States citizenship upon certain inhabitants of the Virgin Islands, and to extend the naturalization laws thereto. The bill was strongly sponsored by Senators Willis, republican of Ohio, and Bingham, republican of Connecticut, and was read for the third time and passed, after Senators Bruce, democrat, of Mary, lamb, and McKellar, democrat, of Kentucky, had withdrawn their objections. The bill provides "that the following persons and their children born subsequent to January 17, 1917, are hereby required to be citizens of the United States. "a) All former Danish citizens who, on January 19, 1917, resided in the Virgin Islands of the United States, and are now residing in those islands or in the United States or Porto Rico, and who did not make the declaration required to preserve their Danish citizenship by Article 6 of the treaty entered into on August 4, 1916, between the United States and Denmark, or who, having made such a declaration, have herefore renounced or may be bereft of resource it by a declaration before a court of record.

In 1912, when the United States intervened actively during the revolution headed by Gen. Mena, the number of American machines laid were a little larger than the contingent now there and en route. WASHINGTON, Feb 16. Six airplanes, with crews conferring 50 men, and 10 officers of the Marine Corps and a company of 100 marines, were ordered today to leave San Diego for Corinto, Nicaragua, on the aircraft tender Melville, to reinforce Rear Admiral Lostimer, commanding the special service squadron in Convalent American waters. The planes are equipped with machine guns and can carry 25-pound bombs. They will be effective for emergency use. The move means that the United States is preparing to exercise a considerable measure of control over the interior of that country if the revolutionary situation further threatens the penguin and the safety of Americans. Except for the airplanes that also on the cruisers of Admiral Latimer's force as regular equipment, the shipment represents the first real move made to establish control from the air. The planes are of the Do Havilland scouting and bombing type and it is intended, according to official explanations, to use them largely for observation in the interior and communication between the east and west coasts. The only real contact thus far has been maintained by naval vessels that proceed through the Panama Canal, a trip of several days. The reinforcement is being undertaken as the Conservative and Liberal forces are prepared to come to grips at Matagalpa, in the interior, and with revolutionist leaders defying the Americans and threatening them with armed resistance if the United Nuts establishes any more neutral zones, a step they have intercepted as giving assistance to the government of Dhiz, which this government has recognized. It is the hope of the government that further forceful measures will not have to be taken as a result of the efforts of Attmilal Latimer, who is attempting to bring Diaz and his opponent, Sacasa, into an agreement for an amenable adjustment. Admiral Latimer is en route to Corinto on the cruiser Milwaukee, after a series of conferences with Sacasa at Puerto Chezas, the Liberal capital on the east coast. He is due at Corinto Saturday and is expected to go then to Maugaue, the Conservative capital, for discussions with Diaz. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—American forces in Nicaragua will be reinforced by 1,600 marines. The remaining marines on mail guard duty are being withdrawn to San Diego and Quantico for this purpose. The Navy Department said today the move was being made under this policy of affording adequate protection to Americans in Nicaragua. The State Department remained silent on the situation. In no government quarrel was there admission that there was in contemplation the neutralizing of all of Nicaragua if the revolution which for months has disturbed that country does not at once subside. There was no denial, on the other hand, that military afens pointed to such a possibility. The reinforcements will multiply by fire the marines now, under Rear Admiral Julian L. Latimer in Niagara, D.O. will also for the first time have at his command a squadron of six marine airplanes, equipped with machine guns and bombs, for use in the interior. The marine guard now on mail duty in the United States, numbers 1,000 men, compared with 2,500 originally assigned four months ago. Their places, it is understood, will be taken by civilian guards, for whom approvals have been requested from congress. Some of the marines will be sent to Niagara, while others will be retained at base camps for any military service the future may demand. In addition to the approximately 2,500 assigned to Niagara, service there are 2,700 in the Far East, including more than 1,200 on the transport Chamont, due in a week at Shanghai from San Diego. Those going to Nicaragua from Quantico and Parris Island will, with a battalion already in that country, constitute the Fifth Regiment, under the command of Colonel L. M Gulick, now at Quantico. Colonel Gulick has been in the service since 1899 and is 48 years of age. His home state is New Hampshire. The 200 at San Diego will go to Cortino and consist of one company of 100 men and 400 officers and men with six squoting and bombing De Haaland planes, as pilots and ground crew. Major R. E. Rowell commands the aviation section and is assisted by Captain F. P. Mulalay, D. E. Campbell and F. E. Pierce. The service the marines performed for the Dustoffee Department with the complete elimination of unit handlers was praised by Postmaster General in a letter to Secretary Walt Burton made public today.

One feels that Tel Aviv should change its name to Herzliya village in Welzamphils. No Complaint Heard Throughout Palestine The Jewish colonies in Palestine seem to be especially provided for the experimental politician of Europe. He can study there every form of agricultural and social experiment, research laboratories, training centres, nurseries for trees as well as for babies, every form of agriculture, old individualistic settlements, new communal settlements, and each one with an individuality of its own, all alike only. In this, that the inhabitants in each settlement think that their settlement is the best, that their methods are ideal and that sooner or later this obvious fact must be recognized by the rest of the Chalutzim. When you go among agricultural people in England, they have so many grievances against man and nature and politicians; they look war and dull, not a happy people. But then we have no free peasantry in England; agriculture means always working for some master here. In Palestine the peasantry is free- nearly all the Arabs farm their own land; very few are the Jews who re- main working for employers; they all want land of their own. And whether you go to the individualist at Nahalai, where each man farms his own land and has his own house and his own fields, his own vine and his own fig- ree, or whether you go to Dagana, where twenty families live as one, working for each other in marvelous selflessness—in all these colonies the people make no complaints, the child- do not beg, they are not even say, they are so certain that they are all right that they do not even need to assert it. Kwuzoth Solves Farming Problem It is quite possible that the great Kwuzoth will not endure. This virtue of selflessness is almost too good to exist naturally without the enthusiasm of nationality and sudden freedom. But certainly the next generation of children now in these Kwuzoth have the opportunity of acquiring a mentality so completely different from that of the agricultural classes in any other part of the world that he would be a rash man who would be certain that the Kwuzoth could not endure. The condition, appearance and mind of the women and children are the best advertisement for the colonies of Palestine. The great family may be unnatural, but in its present stage the advantages must be parent to every visitor. Moreover, these Kwigoths seem to have solved a problem which the Labor parties of the west of Europe have always been bothered about. Farming on a big scale, employing much capital, using experts, seems to be so obviously the most efficient way of using the land that we in the Labor movement have always felt that we shall be driven to what the Americans call "bopanza" farming, that either the State or some rich corporation must farm, employ on a large and temporary scale and turn agricultural production into one more branch of capitalist industry and that the ideal which every reformer has at the back of his mind, of free then cultigating their own land for themselves was an impractical Utopia. But the Kwangzh seem to have solved the problem. There you have the large areas farmed, supplied with adequate capital, possessing in its family the expert on tractors, the expert on bees, the veterinary surgeon. The banana man, the poultryman and all the other experts needed for this great farming, but they were not working for a master, they too, were working for themselves. Perhaps they will not work so hard at Ali-Harad, working for the community, as they will at Nahalab, working for their personal family, but the expert skill would be greater and the waste may be less. In any case it is fine to see that in all these villages of the new Palestine there are no rich and no poor. Of course they only have meat once a month, but who needs meat in that climate? They can't get into the cinema at Figfa, they can't all get new boots. Robinson Cruise suffered from the same inconvenience; and whereas the Swiss family Robinson was always supplied by the Dolly with just exactly what they wanted to find, so Karen Haynecah has supplied the essentials to start all these new Swiss Family Robinson in their conquest of nature. Eldors Apportion Work Day by Day Each evening the village elder meet together and decide what work shall be done next day. And the Government is one of unanimity—government by consent. I suppose there must be selfish people; if they can't stand it they go out. The cooperation is purely voluntary. No doubt they will make many mistakes before they have paid back their debt and are really on their legs. But it is better that they should build up their own organization their own economic stability and their own shipments from the bottom either than that they should have experienced upon them the direction of a bureaucmt, telling them what do. do, for the mere presence of an authority must, destroy the joy of enterprise and adventure which has so much to do with the present happiness of the colonists. The only criticism left in me is that there are too few children in the colonies of Palestine, that the education is not good enough, and that more people do not go from this country to see what it is possible to make of unemployed refugees, and how the land-hunger can survive even 2,000 years of divorce from the soil Move to Teach Aliens How to Become Good Citizens of the U. S. Move to Teach Aliens How to Become Good Citizens of the U. S. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12—Systematic instruction of alleys who are prospective citizens in the principles of American organic law is contemplated in a resolution of the United States Patrol Society, Inc., presented to the House by Representative Bloom of New York, urging the passage of an act authorizing the distribution of the Constitution in simplified primer form in English and in the various languages of allen inhabitants. It is suggested that the Constitution in the form recommended should be distributed through Government agencies and such civic and patriotic societies and organizations as may offer their services for the purpose without charge. The resolution further recommends that patriotic societies be permitted to meet incoming ships at American ports to distribute the prime Constitution and other publications and to instruct, aliens as to the contents of the publications. The law recommended would make it a crime for any persons instructing aliens as to their rights, privileges, duties and liabilities both as inhabitants and as citizens to receive any money, gratuity or thing of value for their services. The society states in its resolution that it has launched as campaign of education along patriotic lines among aliens, but that the work, which it is represented is urgently needed, cannot well be carried on by private organizations; and it is recommended that there should be some governmental supervision, especially over publications that incite hostility to the Government. New German Gases Which Will Put Armies to Sleep PARIS—French Army officers are anxiously awaiting the reports on final tests of two new German gases, one of which is said to render harmless all known forms of poison gas, and the other having the effect of putting whole armies to sleep for four hours. It is just such new gases toward which the chemical warfare and defensive branches of European armies have been earnestly working since the terrible ravages of poison gas in the late war and, if Germany's claims prove correct, it is probable that the existing military establishments of the world will be radically affected. Such is the opinion of both French and foreign military experts here. Whether the German claims are actually based on facts remains to be seen, but it is understood that the French military officers have information which warrants close investigation of the final teste. It is no secret that the intelligence services of European armies are bending their efforts to obtain detailed knowledge of the new gases.

BUSINESS MEN & WOMEN Start the Year 1927 the Right Way Your business will be a dead one unless you give life to it. The same way a man needs speech in order to be termed a live one, so does your business need advertising in order for your products to leave the shelves. Advertising has been endorsed by the President as the only means of success. The year 1927 is looked forward to as being one of prosperity, so you should be among those that have made up their minds to forge ahead.

HAVE YOUR CHILDREN TRAINED ALONG RACE LINES OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey THE OPPRESSED, EVEN LIKE THE WORM, WILL TURN THE peoples of the East have been looked upon as the most dotile, patient and forgiving of all God's children, and for this reason the most exploited and oppressed; but the breaking point has been reached by the Chinese who are showing the invaders that "yellow dogs" have teeth. The meekness of these people have been mistaken by Westerners as an admission of inferiority; but it was merely the attitude of an humble student in the presence of a great professor. The former stood the chidings and punishments without revolt; he was wise. What was the use. He wanted the knowledge which only the professor had; so he bore his punishment meekly until he had learned the intricacies of the professor's art and so! the day came when he was sure of his ability; and the manhood in him exerted itself, and he dismissed his professor. He has gained that which he sought; he now speaks with authority and firmness to all and sundry. Dispute with him at your peril. If the Red Indians of America had used the same strategy, they would not have been annihilated by the Pilgrim Fathers and their descendants. The East Indians, Arabs and Africans are in the student classes now, learning the art of government, industrial and economic problems, and also modern methods of national protection. One by one they will emerge, competent and resolute, to be masters of their own destiny. The country that concerns the Negro most is the Continent of Africa—that part of the earth that the Creator apportioned to black humanity, and because He loved us so he gave us the richest and the best. Unfortunately, some of us fail to appreciate this wonderful gift of God. The rigors of slavery seem to have warped our sense of racial love and patriotism, but gradually, we are learning through the Universal Negro Improvement Association that out of evil will come good, and the descendants of African slaves after serving their apprenticeship in the western world, will give of their best to the Motherland, whether it be in money, brains or skilled artisans. The two sections of Africa south of the Sahara desert that have any appreciable number of whites as colonists are Kenya on the east and the provinces in the south, which are now called the Union of South Africa. The most recent census figures are as follows: The above will convince the thoughtful that a handful of whites in these sections cannot perpetually keep the Africans and Asiatics in bondage, especially when it is considered that the continent is swarming with blacks, many of whom have learned to use the white man's weapons. What makes these whites feel so safe among greater numbers of other races is the fact they have aeroplanes, poisonous gas, battleships with which to protect themselves; so with confidence they continue to abuse and brutalize the blacks and Asiatics, not knowing that a day will come when even the worm will turn. Black and brown worms are making sure of their grounds before they turn. Like the Chinese, they are slow, but very thorough; so that when the day comes they will sweep all obstacles away, and enjoy the benefits of freedom, dearly bought, but highly prized.

A woman in such a situation would have been impossibly unfortior the old regime, when the strict Mohammedan law of beelusion prevailed. The rising Nationalist movement in the countries of the East, however, is doing away with a host of ancient superstititions. The government of Kemal Pasha believes that by modernizing Turkey it may resist the imperialists of capitalist Europe. Turks now drink wine, make statues, wear hats and build factories. The women are throwing away their volls. Bootfeggers, we hear in drinking circles, are now picking up a few extra pennies by selling their lists of customers to undertakers.—New York Evening Post. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1927 SYNTHETIC PRODUCTS CHEAPER SUBSTITUTE Mineral and Vegetable Products Face Competition The newspapers and the conversation of our friends are full of tales about "synthetic" this or that, until it almost begins to look as if everything will be the synthetic pretty soon. What is synthesis? What has unaccomplished? And what may we expect from it in the future? We have synthetic alcohol, synthetic camphor, synthetic indigo, leather, pestumes, flavorings and many other products, and are expecting more, some of them almost in sight now. A writer in the Engineering and Mining Journal (New York) essays to tell us briefly about them. Synthesis, he explains, is the opposite of analysis; the latter means disintegrating, as breaking up a chemical compound into its constituent elements; the former means integrating, as forming a chemical compound by the joining together distinct elements. He proceeds: "Analysis was the first triumph of chemistry, and was of vast industrial importance; synthesis is the water achievement, and of even more inarvalous, almost miraculous, results. In the process of synthesis it has been found that certain media may be useful or even necessary to produce a desired combination of elements, even though these persuasive elements or substances take no part in the chemical processes involved, and remain at the end as they were in the beginning. These substances are called catalyzers; the function is called catalysis. Synthesis, with or, without the intermediary service of catalysters, is of present and future industrial, and every-day significance — and has passed into every-day speech—as, for example, synthetic alcohol. Chemical Marvels "The achievements of the chemist in this respect surpass all that the lay imagination could have conceived. For example, camphor, a vegetal gum, and, by reason of climate, practically a Japanese monopoly, has been made synthetically on as large a scale as to displace largely, in the United States, the natural substance. Indigo, another vegetal product—has largely been supplanted in the world's markets by artificial Indigo, made from coal oil. The leather industry, as statistics and graph show, suffers apparently permanent deposition, while most other industries are very flourishing. What is the reason? The manufacture of artificial leather from colulose—not the stained pressed paper substitute that we know in the old days in silky articles, but a leather about as good as the real hide—practically a real leather. Last year auto-mobile upholstering used over tricolor as much artificial leather as real leather. Synthesis—fortunes, which have the true odors of certain flowers, and animal perfumes, are manufactured in some cases more cheaply than the natural product. Synthetic flavorings have taken over a large part of the market of the natural vegetal product, well-known example are vanilla and peppermint. Mineral Substitutes "In the mineral world, petroleum is perhaps the only natural product which may have a synthetic trait: The production or oil from oil shales and from blumous coal may or may, not be synthetic in the exact sense—one process, that devised by Berghuis, however, is truly synthetic, combining free hydrogen with the coal under pressure, to make now hydrocarbon compounds. In the field of non-metallic mining, where minerals which are chemical combinations are used in their natural state for their physical values, artificial and in part synthetic substitutes, of course, do, and will exist. In the metallic field there will be great competition from substitutes, but the field of reproduction by chemical methods is probably safe. Synthesis here is, of course, out of the question, since the metals are elements; and the only dream of the chemists in this connection has been the change of one element into another, the transmutation of a baser metal into a more valuable one. This, following the discovery that one element may really change to another, as uranium does into radium, and the latter into helium and lead, is not an impossible hope; but it harms not yet been done, despite many manifestoes to the contrary, and as an industrial probability it seems remote." BERLIN, Feb. 14—Post-war Europe, with its large surplus of women, is proving itself fertile ground for Mormon missionaries and their doctrine of polygamy. The Mormons are gaining more adherents, than any of the many other sects in whose doctrines the disappointed and distillated seek escape. In Vienna, the Mormons have already gathered a considerable congregation and are holding weekly services.

We are encouraged to use idealistic language that has lost its force, in that we do not square our lives, or even attempt to square our lives, with the lofty expression of the ideal. 'Sunday' religion is altogether too prominent in our religious life. While business ethics are improving, the Christian man must deliberately set himself to discover what is the Christian way of life in business. The politician must find out what is the Christian way of life in his political responsibilities. So with the professional man. The citizen, in all his relations with the nation, must bring to bear the teaching of Christ on his conception of his own nation and its relations to other nations. This is equally true relative to our domestic affairs.—Bishop Charles Brent. And Defeated Germany Radically different as are the moral and physical conditions of victorious France and defeated Germany, they are alike in one important respect. The national welfare and avenity of the two peoples depends upon their willingness to walk an extremely straight and narrow, path, which demands costly sacrifices on the part of their peoples and unusual popular self-control. After many years of hesitation and rebellion, they have both come to realize that they must watch their step with the utmost care, if they are to avoid disaster, and they have both forged coalition governments which represent the more patriotic political groups. The New Republic. The Way to Liberty The defeat of Russia at the hands of Japan dealt *White supremacy* a heavy blow in the Orient and the imminent outing of white imperialists from China will deal it even *q-never* blow. China has learned that the only way to obtain liberty is to become powerful; that only weak people are enslaved. Having learned her lesson, she is going methodically and efficiently about the business of freeing herself. Some day India will do the same. Some day Africa will do the same! Pittsburgh Courier. immensity China covers more square miles than the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Norway, Spain, and Japan all put together. It has a larger population than the United States and all western Europe, including Germany and Italy. Some of its twenty-two separate provinces are larger than France or Germany. The dialects are many of these provinces differ so that people cannot understand each other, though they are all Chinese. N.Y. Americans The revolution has established a new social scale for Soviet Russia. The man who earns its daily bread, by the sweat of his brow stands first. The student youth is second, the intellectual third (he is rising), and the private capitalist, or Nepman last. Men and women do not wish to desert the ranks of labor. That they must content themselves, with little material wealth is compensated by the satisfaction of belonging to the ruling class, which is laying the foundations for a future with less injustice and inequality than the present. If it is unjust that one should live by the labor of one's fellows, then the Bolsheviks have removed much injustice. If the "example of the pomp of royalty, the splendor of princes, the luxury of army officers, the leisure of landed gentry, and the prodigality of a half-grown housekeeper is demoralizing, then the communist ggyg swept these clauses into the ashheap of history have performed a service to the country. In place of extravagance, fragrance; in place of ceremony, simplicity; in place of loose living, puritanism - Konski Fischer. Daughter Will Take Chile Consul's Post LONDON--Miles Olga de la Bagnoy, twenty-one-year-old daughter of the Chiljean Consul at Glasgow; according to the Dally Express, will take her father's place during his absence on a six months' vacation. She has been secretary to her father for some time and is said to be the first foreign woman to take the decree of Doctor of Philosophy at Glasgow University. LENGTHENING LIFE LENGTHENING LIFE Famous: Surgeon Advocates Annual Examinations Ten years may be added to the average span of human life "by personal care," if one begins young enough." Dr. Charles H. Mayo, of the Mayo clinic, stated to the American College of Surgeons at Washington recently. Says a correspondent of the New York Times: "New diseases would also develop to destroy mankind unless safeguarded against, he said, and man's struggle today was no longer one for mere existence, but for the luxuries of life. Man, he asserted, often committed crimes to obtain such luxuries. "Dr. Mayo said that man's age lengthened an average of twenty years from the sixteenth century until 1860, when the average age was forty. It had advanced five years more, to forty-five, by 1875. The average age had now advanced to fifty-eight. "Dr. Mayo said, however, that the world was getting better through greater care and more knowledge of how to take care of one's self." "The dangerous use of a woman, he said, is from sixteen to eighteen. But the dangerous age for man is from fifty to fifty-five, if you can't keep your eye on them, look them up." "Many fat men, he declared, die off because of lack of girth control. The people of Washington do not show their age. Gland transfusion." Dr. Mayo referred to as "bunk." "Statting that the greatest influence in American life was the newspapers, 'it is to be hoped.' he continued, that our great editors will segregate reports of crimes into one section of the paper. That might tend to destroy their effect on boss. "Two-thirds of those who are old have acquired age through great cell vitality from their parents. Therefore it would be wise for children to select their parents. Many of those who have short-lived parents may lengthen their own lives. Those who have long-lived parents may shorten their lives through lack of proper care. It takes ages to make a man—not a generation of good clothes and education." "Dr. Mayo said children in cities had better advantages than those in the country in many respects, one being that they were freer from buvine tuberculosis, than those on farms. Country children had some benefits because of good air, but this was offset in the city by athletic training, proper hygienic care, and other modern advantages. "No wonder the farmer wants to come to town, he said, 'where his children can be educated at public expense.' "Dr. Franklin H. Martin of Chicago, Director-General of the American College of Surgeons, said one, in eight people died of heart disease, one in seven of cancer, and one in six of tuberculosis." "Every one of these," he declared, "is preventable, and a curable disease. If reached early enough: If we had a General Gorgas, or some one of that type, who would say we must have annual examinations. 50 percent of those diseases would be caught" in their incipient stages. General Gorgas succeeded because he had automatic power to do what he wanted to do in his fight against yellow fever." Woman Organizes Own Film Export Company Miss Edna Williams of this city has opened a new field for women in the motion-picture industry. She recently established her own company for importing and exporting films after fifteen years of experience in the same work for other firms. The first task of Miss Williams in what is her life work was apparently a casual incident. Sir Benjamin Fuller thought it would be an amusing novelty to send some of the new "American films to Australia," and asked Miss Williams to attend to it for him. She did so, became keenly interested when the reaction was favorable and was made export manager of a large firm. At one time she had two companies, doing a $2,000,000 annual business, under her supervision.

The time has come when you should realize the great task pichth confronts us. My fellow women, have you ever taken notice of what the women of Asia and Europe are doing at this moment? They are standing behind their men. It is for us at this time to do all in our power to help your men to put over the program of the U. N. I. A. for the redemption of our motherland, Africa. In every race there are some true and loyal men, and these are the patriots who are doing their heat to increase the happiness and well-being of their group. In our modern age of severe competition, co-operation is essential. In time of peace, as well as in war, a government without the full support of its people cannot exist for any length of time. An organization without the help of members, 100 per cent strong, must perish sooner or later. A family without the co-operation of its members usually breaks unhappy affairs. Consequently a race without the aid of the gentle sex cannot prosper. Women! Your sons and daughters will be the leaders of tomorrow. But how can you teach them what co-operation means unless you but it in practice? Yourselves. Without co-operation this race of outfits will not reach the height of its aspiration. You who belong to this organization must give your utmost support if you desire the U. N. L. A. to achieve its aims. The Hon Marquis Garvey and the present, executive officers are making tremendous sacrifices for you and me. If you are sincere in the work on this organization you would, come forward and give your full support, and do not depend on others to do your share. The support of each individual is vital. What we need at this critical moment is the whole-hearted support of every member. Therefore, for your sake and for my sake, and for the sake of the future generation at the Negro race, I request the co-operation of every true and sincere member of our organization to give his or her full support for the bottleneck and benefit of our race.

Dados los subterfugios que los hombres de negocios usan para imponer sus dicrimenes ante los grandes poderes, haceme creer y formar congeturas diversas de si puede existir algo que se llame justicia, y equidad donde la fuerza prevalece. La justicia tal como se usa en esta época de codicia y egoismo, es considera como un sentimiento personal, exclusivo de aquellos encargados de administrarla, y no una ética interpretación de las demandas corporativas de la comunidad o de la sociedad. De aquí que las reclamaciones de unos no sean consideradas, cuando para dichos fines se interponen las preocupaciones malévolas de los otros, a quienes la altura y el poder estan obligados a servir por los intereses creados, soporte de ese poder invisible que mina los gobierno en todos sus ramales administrativos. Yo busqué con mis ideas puestas en sana práctica, la liberación de nuestro elemento de la opresión política e industrial en que se encuentra. lo cual fue un esfuerzo demasiado grande para los rivales que he encontrado en mi raza, mientras que aquellos que se benefician de la explotación y esclavitud de los mios, me han considerado como una amenaza para sus multiples intereses y procuran deshacerse de mi, por todos los medios por sanguinarios y cobardes que estos sean, siempre y cuando ellos respondan a mi desaparición del escenario donde yo actuo y dirijo. He aquí justificados los combinados esfuerzos para utilizar la maquinaria del estado, que permanece cállada a mis suplicas, y con este silencio conseguir mi destrucción. El como y manera de qué se han valido para su triunfo lo dirá el porvenir; mas tengo la firme convicción que la verdad tendrá algún dia su juicio y para entonces la verguenza, la desgracia, será de aquellos que han querido salpicarme con el lodo de la maldad y la saliva de la injuria. Todo tendrá su puesto: "los malos a mi izquierda y los buenos a mi derecha", dijo el Gran Salvador. Mi cabeza se conserva tan alta como el Olimpo. No tengo porque avergonzarme. Mi cafacter esta tan firme e inductible como la roca de Gibraltar y no hay juez, jurado ni fiscañ en el mundo que pretenda hacer un criminal de mi cuando no lo soy. En la prisión me siento sabiendo que ocupo una celda que se hizo para otros, cuya moralidad esta bajo, infinitamente baja con respecto a la mía y sus actuaciones les revela como elementos de bajo quilate astral, que no litará de ellos nada más que cobardes, simplemente moldes descartados por el Gran Arquitecto en sus altos designos de concepción. Y ocre en Dios. Soy un firme creyente en el juicio final de las almas. Estoy satisfiego en verme cara a cara con mis acusadores. Tenga, pues, el Todopoderoso misericordia de sus almas. Toda la documentación legal de mi juicio y la norma para la guía de la organización, han sido copiladas por mi esposa. Ello comprende el segundo tomo de mi Filosofia y Opiniones y deseo que cada uno de los miembros se haga de una copia y la conserve, de manera que, la posteridad conozca la tremenda desventaja que encontramos en la diseminación y promulgación de nuestro programa de "Africa para los africanos." Sigamos adelante, luchemos con toda la energía que nos reste, anunciando al mundo que millones de negros poseen una determinación invulnerable y orgullosamente enarbolan muy en alto este lema: "Vivirmos como hombres y como hombres moriremos." Podremos acelerar este proceso revindicativo nuestro, si nos mantenemos firmes, leales y con fé en nuestro propósito. La esclavitud no ha cesado todavía. La esclavitud es una amenaza que esta suspendida sobre las espaldas de las razas y de las naciones, y cual otra espada democliana, su filo esta lista para herir a la menor occilación, es decir, a cada gesto de debilidad que se haga. Las razas fuertes opresanes siempre a las razas debiles. Estemas alerta y tengamos mucho cuidado con lo que hagamos hoy. Nadie podra decir cuál sera nuestra condición en el manana; si seremos esclavos ó no, depende solamente de nosotros mismos. De la misma manera que Inglaterra encarbala y defiende su estandarte, Francia su bandera tricolor, nosotros, la nación negra, honemos el Rolo, Négro y Verde como nuestro emblema universal, simbolo de la redención de la amada Africa. Con el mejor deseo por el éxito del movimiento, tengo el honor de ser. Vuestro obediente servidor, MARCUS GARVEY, Fundador y Présidente General. aage --- Spanish Section THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1927 A su excelencia, el Presidente de los Estados Unidos, Hon. Calvin Coolidge, Casa Blanca, Washington, D. C. Cinco mil miembros de la Asociación Universal-para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos de América, reunidos en solemne mass meeting, piden de nuevo guestra favorable consideración sobre la liberación de nuestro leader, Marcus Garvey, actualmente en la penitenciaria de Atlanta, a la cual fue sentenciado bajo el cargo ténico de usar el correo para defraudar, mientras hacía esfuerzos sinceros para mejorar la condición de su raza, por medio de la promoción de empresas industriales y comerciales. Otra vez, honorable presidente, nosotros en nombre de dos millones de ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos de America, miembros de la organización de la cual Marcus Garvey es presidente y fundador, rogamos que accedís a nuestra petición, libertando a nuestro noble leader. No olvideis que Marcus Garvey, leader de los "pueblos negros" del universo, gran patriota, reformador y estadista, el padre del movimiento en pro-de un Africa libre y redimida, después de dos años transcurririda, se encuentra aun en prisión. Es vuestro deber, si una gota de sangre africana corre por vuestras venas, si pensais por un momento en el futuro de vuestros hijos, el levantar vuestra voz en protesta convencente, contra la continuación del encarcelamiento de un hombre, quien merece la consideración de la humanidad en general. Pedid al presidente Coolidge que liberte a Marcus Garvey. Haced que el jefe executivo de esta gran república se de cuchta una vez mas, de que el no puede reusar y demostrar buen deseo hacia quince millones de negros en America, y como hombre, retener su tespeto y estimación. Haced saber que el futuro de una raza peligra. Por espacio de dos largos años habéis sentido la ausencia del gran leader en silencio. Probad ahora que tonesí tanto valor y determinación, como pacienza y resignación. Marcus Garvey ha sufriído por vosotros. Demostrad ahora que agradecéis sus sagrificios. Esclavitud en los estados del Un despacho de Nueva Orteans al sun de esta chidad dice: La esclavitud fue abolida en los estados del sur sesenta y seis años ha, pero las ironias del destino han seleccionado una gran ocasion—la vispera del aniversario del nacimiento de Lincoln, el gran emancipador—para preganar que la antigua costumbre de vender y comprar negros, se practica aun en gran escala en los distritos rurales de Louisiana y mississippi. Varios casos de servitud son citados y el reporte dice ademas que las autoridades federales temen que la costumbre es practicada sobre, los trabajadores en las siembrares de algodon, por lo cual ha ordenado al gran jurado una completa investigación. Dos hacendados han sido ya procesados por mediation de dos comisarios, quienes participaron en una conspiración para declararse luego testigos del estado. La Constitución prove en el articular trece de la euniendas que ni esclavitud ni servifud involuntaria, excepto como castigo impuesto por algún crimen cometido, luego que el culpable haya sido debidamente juzgado, existir dentro del territorio de los Estados Unidos o de cualquier punto bajo su jurisdicción; y que el congreso tendrá el poder de hacer cumplir dicha ley con apropiada leersiación. Apesar de esta prohibición, la servitud en una u otra forma ha prevalecido en mayor o menor escala, desde la abolición de la esclavitud. Muchos de los estados del sur han establecido sus leyes de trabajo de manera tal, que estas someten a los negros convicto a cierta forma de esclavitud, y los representantes de la ley en muchos casos imponen el trabajo forzado a estos, bien porque esten interesados o bien porque reiben grandes sueldos para poner en ejecución tal acto inhumano. Es deber de todo miembro de esta organización, el cooperar con las agencias del gobierno, en sus fuerzos de perseguir y rastigar a aquellos entregados a esclavizar a otros, negros en su mayor parte, para obtener beneficios. Doquira exista condición de servizu, debe ser delatada al gobierno de manera que los culpables sean carigados por el respectivo proceso de la ley. CORRESPONDENCIA Sr. Editor del Negro World: En distintas ocasiones, dada la gran simpata que me inspira la obra en la cual laboris, he colaborado con humildes trabajos en la sección a vuestro cargo. Mi ultima colaboración fue una carta al Hon. Garvey que, aunque no fue mi interjeción fuese publicada, publicaste: Bien se me alcanza, porque así suele suceder, que quienes como vosotros no conozcan la personalidad y trato de un individuo, lógico es no puedan hacer un juicio concluyente de como quien es, lo que pretende y lo que quiere. Veréis pues, Sr. Editor: Soy negro; nís abuelos en africanos lucipies las hembras y criollos, hijos de africanos, los varones. Los relatos que mis padres me hacen de aquellos viejos, en cuyas palabras—cuentos de su tiera—aun mis mismos padres, me traen la inmensa tristeza de sus reminiscencias, la dolorosa resignación de sus desgracias caudiverios, la desolación de sus almas reflejadas en sus ojos nostalgicos de su tiera natal, la horfandad de sís-corazones cuyos latidos marcaban las horas ausentes de sus padres, sus hermanos y amigos de allá. Todas esas cosas, amigo mio, me hacen, dado mi temperamento sonador e idealista, pensar y sentir cosas que otras no sienient ni piensan, con hondo afecto, con ansias de vindication. Cinco siglos necesitó la Rusia para que sonara la hora de la libertad. Cuantos necesitara el Africa? La realidad me dice que flora no ha sonado aun. Nuestro problema tiene otro carácter aun más grave. Su desenvolvimiento se revuelve dentro de un circulo asficiante de incompresión y recelos, y la prédica se hace ineficaz ante el desamor y el egoismo. Nosotros los idealistas nos deslumbramos con frecuencia, con el espejismo de nuestros propios suenos. Nuestros pensamientos se elevan por sobre las miserias de la vida y nuestras pupilas, dilatada la visión por la grandeza del ensino, miran siempre hacia lo salto, ignorando el gesto de la multitud que abajo, al proyectarse la sombra de nuestras alas, sobre ellos, oras no malicen o ven cruzar, estremicendose, cobardes del aleto de nuestras ideas. Inutilmente no han venido los años a visitar ni vida. Cada uno de ellos ha dejado un imborrable recuerdo en mi alma; mas he adquirido la convicción los que vendrán, cosas nuevas distintas me dirán y cada uno de ellos una uveña experiencia me dejará. Menester seria haber vivido mucho para decir; Nada me asombral pero mismo me hace pensar que en la lucha por el ideal, el hombre debe buscar la gloria de no haber vivido inutilmente. Miguel Gomes Casanova. Habana, feb. 11 de 1927. A todas las divisiones y capitulos En esta ocasión recurrimos a los miembros de cada division y capitulo de esta organización, para que hagan que sus secretarios y presidentes envien su reportes mensuales a esta oficina general con toda regularidad. Muchos secretarios no han cumplido con este deber, y correspondencia enviada a ellos de esta oficina sobre el particular, ha sido desatendida. Exponemos, por consiguiente, estas actuaciones a los miembros para que insistan en el envio de dichos reportes mensuales, o en caso contrario, elijan oficiales que se sometan a los reglamen de nuestra Constitucion. Para que los intereses de los miembros esten protejidos, es absolutamente necesario el envio de los reportes mensuales. Ellos pagan sus cuotas y esperan que el Cuerpo Patental reciba lo estipulado por el reclamation. *Esto es imperativo, toda vez aspiremos al exito.* Con el mejor deseo en 1927 y con "adelante" como crisagrafa, soy Atacando una política En un año de los teatros mas espaciosos de la ciudad de Mejico, se llevo a cabo una gran reunión con el propóbito de watacar la política de este paño, en relación con los asuntos de Nicaragua y la invasión en el americano.

Name Address State THE TRUTH ABOUT THE GOLD COAST MARRIAGE CUSTOM In Waste, Journal of the West. African Students' Union of Great Britain. Of the several African institutions that have been misunderstood and consequently misinterpreted by European and American writers, customary marriage stands out the most prominent. In particular, partly because of its intricacy, and partly because these writers had not carved to master the language before interpreting ideas expressed in it, the marriage custom of the Gold Coast has, so far as I am aware, baffled the a priori methods of European and other investigators. Some of these writers who, apparently, set out to seek the sensational in African institutions, have not hesitated to describe our marriage custom as being a mere bargain and sale of the woman. This erroneous idea has so implanted itself in the minds of most Europeans that even keen and systematic investigators—like Captain R. S. Rattray, for whose researches as government anthropologist we have the warmest admiration—have found it difficult to escape the traditional distorted theory of sale. Perhaps this failure of sociologists to do justice to the essential element in a binding Gold Coast African marriage becomes less surprising if we remember that marriage in the Gold Coast differs from what it is in many other countries, in that the Gold Coast form is free from all religious rites. The Gold Coast native looks upon marriage as the taking to himself of a wife, but the foreigner, armed with all the hymneal vocabulary of a medieval legacy, comes along and calls it "wedlock, for better for worse." In many European countries a man and a woman are considered husband and wife only when they have gone through certain religious ceremonies supposed to identify them as such in the sight of God. In the Gold Coast, on the touch, the conception of marriage is totally different from this foreign conception, union sanctioned by the church not unaccompanied by a superfluous prudential symbolism. Hence our foreign friend is a native marriage: coronery, looking church and finding none, for a couple of rings and missing both, for declaration of vows and hearing none, naturally lays his hand on the apparent transfer of money as that which alone validates the native-marriage. How totally wrong this conclusion is, it is the purpose of this article to show. Unfortunately, this fact, that payment of money plays a part in the proceedings of, customary marriage, has A PUNG S.

He died two weeks later.—Editor The Negro World.] been used—or rather misused—by many superfluous observers to explain their theory that marriage in the Gold Coast is a matter of bargain and sale. This, however, is as ridiculous as saying that because in England one has to pay for a marriage license in order to become legally married, therefore, one buys one's wife from the license officer. gested, have led me to the conclusion that marriage on the Gold Coast, was originally based on contract. It was a contract entered into by the man or his family on his behalf on the one hand, and the woman or her family on her behalf on the other. The resemblance between a marriage ceremony and the only form of formal contract recognized by custom is so great No doubt, at the present day, owing to the introduction of foreign marriage systems into the Gold Coast, both the customary and the "Christian" marriages have deteriorated to such an extent that marriage in certain parts of the country is becoming a somewhat lucrative commercial transaction in favor of the bride's parents. But admitting this does not commit the institutional and customary form of marriage to the charge of being nothing but a perversive form of sale, the change from the ancient to the modern form is attributable to the changing conditions of the social community. The several rules governing the institutional form of marriage "be unwritten," they lend themselves easily to fimsy interpretation, and gradually fall into disuse from constant misuse. Our foreign friends who find themselves faced with such affairs obviously adopt the line that is least resistant, and thus, relying on evidence deceived from badly observed circumstances, are often led into unidentifiable generalizations and fragrant fallacies. In the present writer's opinion the best way to ascertain the true nature of customary marriage in the Gold Coast is by an examination of the whole intricate procedure leading up to the final union of man and woman. It will then become easy to compare the result of such investigations with any native custom which may be found to bear the greatest resemblance to the marriage procedure. Where such indisputable similarities exist we can justify to conclude as- to what kind of marriage to a Gold Coast customary marriage.
