NEgro & World A Newspaper Dedicated solely to the interests of the Negro Race VOL. XXII. No. 6 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1927 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U. S. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES Hon. Marcus Garvey, Gifted Man of Vision, Sets Out In Unanswerable Terms the Reasons Why Negroes Must Build in Africa We print below the second instalment of a remarkable speech delivered by the Hon. Marcus Garvey at the Pythian Temple, Washington, D. C., on November 20, 1921. The first instalment appeared in the last issue of The Negro World: "The strong man is strong everywhere. I trust you understand what I want to bring out. A strong man is strong everywhere. The weak man is weak anywhere. What are we today? We are a race of weaklings. And why? Because we are not organized, because we will not utilize the power we have at our command. Because of the division of Negroes they are weak, and if they are weak in one place they are weak everywhere because of that division. But if Negroes become strong, as I have said, a strong man is strong everywhere. Why not get strong, therefore, at a place where you can be strong and be strong everywhere afterwards? "The point I want to make is this. They crush and oppress us in these parts of the world because we are hopelessly outnumbered. We are hopelessly outnumbered, and therefore we are weak; and because there is no organization where we are numerically strong we are weak there also, and we reflect our weakness the world over. I say that strong over there, and you can transfer part of the strength over here. A strong man is strong everywhere. You will concentrate upon the building up of Africa and make it strong. A strong nation will pay you any where else. There was a time when the Japanese were weak. He was a weak man and, therefore, he was weak everywhere. The Japanese concentrated upon the building up of Japan, and now Japan has become a strong nation, the Japanese is strong anywhere, whether in America or Japan. Touch him and you will see how strong he is. WHEN THE CRISIS COMES "I repeat the world is getting into divisions—divisions of races and divisions of nations. We are four hundred million in this great human family, and we cannot ignore the signs of the times. We may sing 'Rule Britannia,' we may sing the many national airs we are taught, but I tell you no flag will save you when the crisis comes but the flag that you yourselves have founded and established. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who are made up of different nationalities, some of us American, some British, some French, although we respect the Stars and Stripes of America, although we are loyal to the Stars and Stripes, although we respect the Union Jack of Great Britain, although we are loyal to the Union Jack of Great Britain, we are also loyal to the Red, Black and Green of Africa. Show me the race or the nation without a flag, and I will show you a race of people without any pride. Aye! In song and mimicry they have said, 'Every race has a flag but the coon.' How true! How true! How true! Aye! But that was said of us four years ago. They can't say it now, because those of us who are members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association love the flag of Africa so much that if any man dares to insult the Red, Black and Green of Africa, we will be willing to shed the last drop of blood, even as the Anglo-American, the Anglo-Saxon would shed the last drop of their blood if anyone dishonored the Stars and Stripes, or the Union Jack of Great Britain. PLAN FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS "Men, let tell you that the hour has come for you to decide. Decide what your future will be. Some of us pay no attention to the future. Some of us live only in the present. A race that lives only in the present is a race that will never rise to be anything in the world. Races and nations have risen to greatness by the generations of the present always planning and thinking for the generations of the future. And if you are to rise to be great people, we must start out now in this generation planning for the future generations of our own race. Some of our people say we are crazy; that we desire the freedom of Africa, an impossibility. What is it impossible? Man said one hundred and forty years ago that the freedom of America from Great Britain was an impossibility, but George Washington made the impossible possible. And I come to Washir. On at no time without going to Mt. Vernon to pay homage to the greatest man who ever trod the soil of America. Every time I come to Washington I go to Mt. Vernon to pay homage to America's greatest character, and I say if it was possible for George Washington by the sword to free the colonies and plant the Stars and Stripes where the Union Jack stood, we also by our sword and otherwise can plant the Red, Black and Green. George Washington was not a god, not a divinity. He was but a man, flesh and blood like every one of you in here. What George Washington did for America you Negroes must do for Africa. Otherwise you must die."

J., March 10. Twenty-five Negro children who have not been to school in nearly six weeks will go to the separate class provided for them in the one room church in the Berkeley section or they will not go at all, school officials and members of the Toms River Board of Education announced today. Bedar M. Fink, supervising principal, who says he was first to think of the plan to separate Negro pupils from white ones in the public schools here, learned forward in his chair at the close of a talk with a reporter for The World and, shaking his finger for emphasis, summed up his ideas on the subject. No Learned the Texas Method "I've just come back from a trip to Texas," he said, "and, believe me, they know how to treat the colored people down there. I kept my eye open and learned a few things about how to handle them. Why, if these people had been in Texas what they've done up here, or in any of the other Southern states, they'd have been lynched. They would have gone to whatever school the whites told them to and be mighty good to have the chance. "The Board of Education has the power to pick the school the pupils will attend. It is not up to the pupils or their parents. I'm surely not going to agree to let these Negroes come back to the big school, and I know the white board feels the same way."

Before that they had been attending the fine modern building in Dover. Church Remodeled The building used Sundays by the African Methodist Church, was leased and about $200 spent on fitting desks in place of pews and in putting up two small blackboards near what had been the altar. Heat was supplied by a wood and coal stove in the center of the one room. The church is of frame and stucco, with unfinished woodwork interior. It was built about eleven months ago. FIGHT FOR SHANGHAI BRINGS CRISIS NEAR Cantonese Pressing Forward—Near-Clash Between British and Chinese—The American Parade KAIFENG, Honan Province, China March 13.—A fierce battle is raging in a heavy snowstorm between troops of Marshal Chang Tso Lin (the Manchurian dictator) and semi-independent Honan troops at Hanschuang, coldway between Kalifeng and Chengchow (200 miles north of Hankow, on the Teking-Hankow Railroad). The battle continued throughout the night, with the advantage indefinite until Chang Tao Lin's troops succeeded in making a material advance and captured the railway station at Chung Mohalen. It is not known whether this position is secure, because the storm is bound to affect dispatch of reinforcements which are due from Mukden to assist Chang's main advance line. Reports from the north say Mukden is suffering the severeest storm in forty years. All communication and traffic are impeded. Suchow Heare Gunnery in Fight Nest Shenhei SHANGHAI, March 18.—The Cantonese push northward, which is moncing the lines of communication of General Chang Tsung Chang, Shantungese defender of Shanghai, was more pronounced today. The lull in military operations in Kiangsu Province has been broken. The Cantonese, who are working the way forward along the coast of Lake Talhu, west of Shanghai, became involved in fighting on the east shore of the lake, between Pingwang, and Wukiang. The sound of heavy gunfire could be heard plainly in Suchow, on the Grand Canal, fifty-seven miles northwest of Shanghai. Still another evidence of the Cantonese threat to the northwestern communications was seen last night. An armed band of seventy men removed some rails from the Uanking-Shanghai railroad only five miles from Shanghai. A passenger train passing over the line was derailed, but no one was injured. General Chang Tsung-Chang's personal actions indicate he is worried about his line of communications from Shanghai to his capital, Taiwan-Fu. He visited various points along the (Continued on page 2) Life Term for Another Georgia Lyncher DOUGLAS, Ga. March 12.—Gaines Lastinger was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment last week for his part in the lynching of Dave Wright near here last August. Lastinger was the twelfth man to receive a prison sentence as the result of the lynching and the second to be sentenced to a life-term. The others were sentenced from four to twenty years. —C. P. B.

March 16. — Women taste like young pig, men like tough beef, said one of the Gypy cannibals recently apprehended in Czecho-Blovakia. He was answering cross-examination by a court investigating the tribes. He confessed they had killed twelve persons but only found five fit to eat. The cooking was done by the Gypy wives, who made a port of Irish ale. NEGRO BOY WINS SCHOLARSHIP AT ARTS INSTITUTE NEGRO BOY WINS SCHOLARSHIP AT ARTS INSTITUTE Worked as Elevator Boy by Day, Tried His Prentice Hand by Night—Arrived From British Guiana 3 Years Ago A special scholarship award in painting has been appropriated by the Master Institute of United Arts, 310 Riverside Drive, New York, for Rupert Griffith, a young British Guiana Negro, who is supporting himself as an elevator boy. In America only three years, Griffith has always had a desire to paint, and finally last year, without instruction, had the courage to try his hand at various compositions. Absolutely without training and without any possibility of study, he devoted himself evenings to his work. And recently, hearing of the scholarships at the institute, came to apply for one. He arrived, however, several weeks after the scholarship trials had been over and the scholarships awarded. Nevertheless, his work showed such musual imaginative gifts and such marked talent that the directors have appropriated a special scholarship, which will enable the boy to study. His paintings have all been imaginative conceptions—some of them paintings from memory of a native land, others imaginative works of other countries—could unite. RICH FIND IN NEW AFRICAN DIAMOND FIELD Natives, the Real Owners, Work at Starvation Wages Digging Diamonds for the Robbers LONDON. March 12.—One digger on the newly opened diamond field at Grassfootin Farn, near Potchefstroom, South Africa, has reported obtaining stones valued at $5,000 in a single hole, according to a Johannesburg dispatch to The Daily Mail. More than 1,000 natives already are employed in the new diggings, the dispatch adds. Fresh discoveries are reported in the Fresh discoveries are reported in the Venteradory district. The Graafontelin Farm diggings were thrown open to the public in a great "diamond rush" last Friday, when 25,000 runners, at a given signal, raced three miles to the field to stake out choice claims. THE MOROCCO WAR Spain Sanding New Troops to Morocco "To Keep Order" MADRID, March 12—Lawlessness again the result of the "pacification of Morocco," troops are to be dispatched there this spring. Recently a note asserted that as a result of the "pacification of Morocco" the Spaniards had repatriated 2,811 cavalry troopers, with eighty-five officers, resulting in an immediate economy of 16,548,318 posites a year. This amount will be spent soon to dispatch fresh troops. Boy Scout Movement To Be Extended to Negro Youth of South HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va., March 14.—The national officers of the Boy Scouts of America have recently arranged for Blanky A. Harris of Chattanooga, Tennessee, to give his entire time in extending work of the boy scouts among the colored boys of the country. Mr. Harris has been prominently associated with the Boy Scout movement since its organization, serving under the British Scout Association before the National Council, Boy Scouts of America, was organized, and he is interested in developing this work among Negro boys. At present, according to Mr. Harris, there are 600 troops of Boy Scouts among Negro boys in this country, but, with the exception of 18, they are all in the North. If this work is extended to the boys of the South, it will have to be largely through the difference of industry, in the opinion of history and organization. HAITI REPUBLIC BARS A SENATOR AS UNDESIRABLE Senator King, Trenchant Critic of "Government by the Marines" in Haiti, Refused Entry by Borno—U. S. Protest Not Heeded WASHINGTON, March 12.—Classed as "undesirable," Senator William H. King (D.), of Utah, has been barred from entering the Republic of Haiti, despite the request of the American State Department that he be permitted to land. It was learned tonight. This is the first time in history that a United States Senator has been forbidden admission to a friendly country. The situation is all the more remarkable because Haiti is now under American occupation. Senator King was barred by direction of President Borno, who keenly reenterted "personal and violent attacks" made upon him by the Senator in public speeches. Officials at the State Department tonight admitted a sharp protest was lodged with the Haitian Government over the refusal to permit Senator King to enter. The department assumed the attitude, it was learned, that Senator King should be allowed to "see for himself" the benefits which have accrued to Haili by American occupation, a course which he has consistently attacked. President Borne, however, remained adamant, asserting the visit of Senator King was to have been made the occasion for anti-government demonstrations, which might have assumed serious proportions. The proposed demonstrations might also have an unfortunate effect on the economic situation of the country, he said. In view of President Borno's flat refusal to permit Senator King's entry, it was admitted the State Department can take no further action. Senator King is to arrive at Cristobal, Canal Bona, tomorrow. He after remaining there three days he had expected to go to Haiti for a two-day visit. He has been warned by the Haitian Government, however, that he will not be plunged into Haitian soil. Haiti was first escorted by American marines in 1915, and a regime of President Borno has been actively supported by this government. Senator King, however, has consistently opposed this course, charging that it was another instance of the "imperialistic policy" of the United States. Several times in the Senate he has launched vitriolic attacks upon President Borno, charging that he has been held in office by the force of "marine bayonets" against the wishes of the Haitian people. "Ask Me Another" Lest readers may hug the delusion that President Borno has been transformed, and Haiti, too; that the former is beloved by his people and the marines no longer haunt Port-au-Prince cafes, it should be stated that all America is enjoying the joke, fully believing that Borno was inspired to take his stance, brave in the knowledge that Washington would "respect the Republic's wishes." The New York World, in its issue of March 14, printed a cartoon which will rank as a classic. It depicts Uncle Sam, umbrella protecting him from the elements, standing back, of an ebony-hued soldier of Haiti, on Haiti's shore line. Uncle Sam is on the soldier's shoulder. Senator King is on the opposite shore. And the soldier, with hand uplifted, is signaling to the august senator, "Thus far and no farther." Senator King wishes Haiti well. He has been a persistent advocate of the withdrawal of the marines from the black "republic." Can you beat it, ye lovers of liberty, ye friends of Haitian independence? 4 Things You Must Doer Colds A cold calls for four helps, all at one time. And each should be the best.

Mary Lissie Jones, 16, Todded for White Family; Reward: Rape by "Massa" MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March 9.—Two years ago Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Mall, white, came here from the South, bringing with them, Mary Lissie Jones, a young girl, sixteen, as meld of all work. Mary, who can neither read nor write, was to receive, she says, a salary of three dollars ($2) per week for doing the cooking, laundry and caring for one child. On account of her father's illness, Mrs. Hall returned South last summer, placing "Mary Lissie" with another white family by the name of Pick, white, who live at 1225 Hawthorne avenue. Here she was to work for her board and room, although she had never received a cent of the salary which the Halls had promised her. Mrs. Hall did not return from the South, but her husband, who remained in St. Paul, called frequently. He explained that he adopted her and wanted to see how she was getting along. Finally, he kept her out all night. She was assaulted. The case was brought to the attention of Miss V. Gertrude Brown, head resident of Phyllis Wheatley House, who investigated it. Hall was arrested and charged with carnal knowledge. He claimed that the girl was nineteen years old, but he is still in jail. MUSSOLINI PLANS ANOTHER POMPOUS TRIP TO AFRICA Will Go in Style Calculated to Intimidate Africans and Plant Fassist Standards—Result of Recent Understanding With England GENEVA. March 10.—Italian prestige in the League, following approval of the ratification of the Rumanian treaty recognizing the status quo of Bessarabian territory, appears reflected in the report circulating in Germany that Mussolini will make another "Imperial descent on Africa." The reports are to be effect that Mussolini, either in splendid cortege of battleships or a fleet of the Italian merchant marine, will make an early voyage to Cirenaica, stopping at the port of Bengasi, nearest Egyptian Tripoli, visiting the Italian Greek isles of Dodecanesus and thence through the Suez to Nemi and the tropical Jubiland and Somaliland, where the black standards and golden eagles of Fascist Rome will be planted. The voyage will be similar to a tour made by the dictator in Western Tripoli when he retraced the path of the Roman conquerors at the time of Septimus Severus. It is believed that the Italian entente with England, partially due to the Rumanian decision, has been reinforced sufficiently to make the second Mussolini pilgrimage one of the picturesque events of the year. Fisk Jubilee Singers Entertain Mussolini The celebrated Fisk Jubilee Singers now famous for more than a quarter of a century sang before Premier Mussolini on their recent Italian tour. It is said that the premier was particularly attracted by "My Old Kentucky Home" as rendered by the rich and trained voices of the Fisk singers. The quartet is now facing a pronounced demand on the part of foreign countries and contemplates signing a contract for a tour of South America within the near future.—C. P. B. [Ensemble!

Murphy, herp-raring promoter, who has recently returned from the African city, "in as civilized and urbane ad in the most cosmopolitan European city. Expressive motor care are dritten and the standard of life is most instituted." Mr. Murphy states that when a Brigade hires a native motor-vehicle, with twenty-five wives, the contract is a profitable one, because all the wives become joint employees, with the husband. EX-KAISER RANTS OVER THREAT TO WHITE SUPREMACY AS SEEN IN NEW SELF-RELIANCE OF AFRICAN RACE Garvey's Battle Cry of "Africa for the Africans" Will Soon Be Heard Ringing Throughout the Continent of Africa, He Says-Chides France for Using Black Troops in World War, Thus Stimulating 'Black Man's Ego" DOORN, Holland, February, 1927.—"The battle cry of 'Africa for the Africans' may soon be heard ringing throughout the Dark Continent. "The race consciousness and self-reliance of the African races has been strengthened to an appalling extent in recent years. The fact that colored men were permitted to fight side by side with white men and against white men on European soil during the World War is primarily responsible for this development, pregnant with dangers to the supremacy of the white man. The misuse of colored troops by the French in occupying the Rhineland has also helped to develop the black man's ego.

In McCory's you did a combination of waking down, breathing, lighting "Before the World War Africa was considered by the Western Powers as just so much space wherein European nations could expand their excess energies in colonial expansion. It was popularly divided into three parts, the one consisting of the wide stretches north of the Sahara and the other made up of the tremendous spaces of the desert, the stoppees in the centre and the jungles to the southwest. "Pan-Africa a World Problem" "The first, facing Europe across the Mediterranean, was connected with our continent by bonds of civilization more than several thousand years old, while the second, flanked by the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, had been opened to European penetration but recently, and as yet only partly." "Today Africa can no longer politically be so easily divided into different parts, for in the west the French colonial power now extends from the Mediterranean to the Gulf of Guinea, and in the east the British have penetrated to the heart of the Soudan. Africa as a whole has been drawn within the realm of world politics. "Added importance is lent to the Pan-African movement by the fact that it frequently links up with the Pan-Assiatic movement. This connection is fostered by the prevalence of Islam in both continents, and strengthened by the continuous immigration to Africa from India. France who especially invited her colonial peoples to avail themselves of the weapons of European warfare. And at present France is busy militarizing her whole colonial empire. "In considering the future of the white people, it is appalling to note that in 1924 France's peace strength standing army of 760,000 men contained 220,000 colored troops. And she was prepared to put into the field in an emergency not less than 1,600,000 colored warriors. "The Pecils of Mixed Marriage" "Now, when we consider that North Africa is developing with incredible speed, thanks to the Trans-Sahara Railway, the dangers besetting the British African colonial empire, as well as the European continent in general, become glaringly apparent." "Another vital factor threatening the white man's supremacy in Africa has been the fallacies of French colonial policies. On account of her dwindling birth rate, France has abandoned the color line. More and more, France permits the natives of her colonial possessions to enjoy the rights of full-fledged French citizens. "France actually favors mixed marriages. Her new citizenship statutes cilitate the nationalization of foreign born. And by the charity of the law, not only legitimate children of French mothers are to be considered French citizens, but also all those children born of alien mothers wherever the tricolor dutters in the wind. "Attention has often been directed to the fate that overtook Rome on account of a far-reaching hastardization. And experience has shown the extreme preference for all things European on the part of the colored African half-breed. The mulatto always moves on to the European homeland. He is in striking contrast to the native, who by dint of his natural strength, holds on to the African Continent. "France, therefore, as a result of her colonial policy, is well under way towards peopleing the motherland with grorehead, without making any real progress towards assimilating Africa's people on Africa's own soil. "In short, the world will face some day the possibility of an Africanised and hastardised France. This should not only line up all the people of Europe against the French colonial policies, but also the United States. Due to its large Negro population, America, more than any other nation, will be exposed to deep political reactions to the French policies in Africa. "Closely linked with the Pan-African movement is the movement for independence in Egypt. This in turn is intimately connected with the Pan-Aslatic movement. And although not really associated with the Egyptian movement, the trend toward complete independence of the South African Union gives the former a certain spiritual support. "Cacit Rhodes' splendid conception of a great British empire in Africa was hardly realized before it was on the decline. More and more South Africa is following her own ways. Prime Minister General Smuts stated: "We shall be master of our own fate, internally as well as in the reference to the outside world, in peace as well as in war." "Liberation from European Domination" "Only on the southernmost tip of the continent has the white man settled in compact masses. As a whole, the South African Union has 6,500,000 colored inhabitants to 6,500,000 whites. And I have already indicated, even more, Africandism (a national experience movement) is running these adherents, the head now all over the coastal combination of British colonies, which was to reach from the Cape to Cairo. It is at present securely held under purely British authority. "Not only in the North and South is English supremacy in Africa threatened, but also East and West. In the East, the Pan-Asiatic movement is invading the Soudan, and the Italians are busy trying to extend their sphere of influence beyond Eritrea. In the West, the French Colonial Empire grows and grows. "Thus, on the African Continent we see developing simultaneously numerous movements of liberation from European domination. All are of the greatest importance from a world-political point of view. At present they tend to widen the differences between the European nations, but in the future they may seriously threaten the white races as a whole." GETS AFRICAN RADIOGRAM Presbyterian Board Receives Missionary's Order Via Minne- The Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, 156 Fifth avenue, announced recently that a radio message from Edwin Cozzens, a Presbyterian missionary in Kamerun, West Africa, had been received by V. S. Volz of Janesville, Minn., operator of station 9BHZ. It was addressed to Clarence A. Steele, assistant treasurer of the board, and was as follows: "Please duplicate order of June 16, 1826, to Henry A. Kienzie, New York, one dynamotor equipped as previously." Mr. Cozzens operates at, Kamerun a small radio transmitting set with the call letters FOPM. By means of this radio message his order was filled immediately. Because of the receipt of this radiogram the Presbyterian board may install a receiving station on top of the Presbyterian Building, 194 Fifth avenue, so that its missionaries all over the world may communicate with the board and friends by radio.

Democratic authorities in Texas, Mississippi, Virginia and other Southern States, openly declare that they will find a way to evade the opinion of the court. The New York World, a Democratic newspaper of light and leading, declares such intention to be an attempt at nullification of supreme law. It is worse than nullification; it is defiance, such as Andrew Jackson as president, dealt with in a drastic way. Mr. Nixon deserves the thanks of the race for bringing the action and forcing it to a decision by the Federal Supreme Court. We have well defined rights in the constitution of the nation, many of which are disputed by States, and we are negligent of our duty when we do not contest every infraction by State legislatures and courts upon those constitutional "privileges and immunities." We are to get what we get and what belongs to us as American citizens by fighting for it, and we are not going to get it in any other way. Others of the citizenship have to fight in like manner for denial of privileges and immunities. The court dockets are cluttered with such actions at law. We can't expect that we are going to get what belongs to us in the matter of citizenship, or phases of it, without fighting for it. To paraphrase Lord Tennyson, "It's better to have fought and lost than never to have fought at all." Justice Holmes has rendered as the unanimous opinion of the Federal Supreme Court, a far-reaching decision, which should have a direct effect on the disfranchising election systems of most of the Southern States, through the operations of which the Negro citizen is denied or prevented from exercising his constitutional right to vote and be voted for. That there will ultimately be a demand for a revision of the crooked election systems working disfranchisement of the Negro citizen, stands to reason, as the deprivation works a direct fraud on the whole nation in the election of president and members of the Congress. As matters now stand, nothing could be more glaringly unfair to the Negro and to the national citizenship than the crooked election systems of the Southern States. The way to break down the injustice is to fight it as Mr. Nixon has done. DECADENT EUROPE FACING REJUVENATED ASIA AND AFRICA DO you believe "in the resurrection and the life" of those who have been dead but are alive again? Perhaps you do and perhaps you do not. It depends. True it is, however, in the case of individuals, of races, of nations, that there is such a thing, which close students of history discover as they search the records of dead peoples which have come to life again. It is an interesting study. In a review of M. Maurice Muret's "Twilight of the White Race," Frederick H. Martens says "the author's thesis is the Gotterdamerung of the white peoples of the world, predicated on the development of the principle of self-determination in the Orient." Mr. Martens elaborates his thought in the following summary: In his eyes, a morally discredited and materially weakened white Europe is facing a struggle with an East which—yellow, black and brown—is done with white exploitation and imperialism. The Wilsonian boomerang of the "fourteenth point," the "Beythian triumph" (Bolehaviem), the rise of the black race, the awakening of the spirit of revolt in North Africa, Turkey, Arabia, India and China against European domination, the sinister figure of Japan as the master of the typhoon hour which is to strike in the East—all are dwelt on, with an ingenious application of argument drawn from a wide and catholic choice of contemporary authorities. Mr. Martens thinks "that the era of exploitation for the races without white pigmentation is over is plainly evident." But the white races are very slow in appreciating the facts in the new awakening in Africa and Asia, which was emphasized by the recent war in northern Africa, which is not as yet ended by far, and the upheaval in China, with the insistent demand that the European whites get out, after giving up their ill-gotten advantages and gains. How the whites will meet the new awakening of the Orient is indicated somewhat by the attitude of Great Britain, in the present crisis in China. The domineering and insistent attitude of the old days is very much lacking and a disposition to be reasonable has manifested itself. There is a reason. The Chinese are wideawake and insisting upon their rights in their home land and their own government, and the understanding is that it is backed by Russia. Great Britain has too many interests at stake in Asia and Africa to provoke a war with the Chinese in the Far East backed by Russia in the Near East. The peoples of Asia and Africa have been thinking very rapidly since the close of the World War. They have decadent Europe guessing, and that is something necessary and good for them to do. Others have interests the white races should respect, and to make them understand that is not a small matter. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS I wonder how many have arrived at that rightful decision that the possibilities of success rest with the individual who is first capable of seeing himself as others see him, and who strives to serve his fellow man and then himself.—Pacific Defender. This nation cannot afford to make the white man happy by making the Negro unhappy, nor can it safeguard the virtue of one race by destroying the virtue of another. It cannot deal unjustly with the colored man without an equally deteriorating effect upon the white man.—Kansas City Searchlight. We are great buyers too often good buyers and too often your payers, not because we plan to default, but because our fancy is too high for our business. Abiding one's time is the great secret of all stable success. Make-believe in the terrible sham and embarrass the shammer—California. Vote. Something is looking. That something cannot be supplied by others. We ourselves have a part in our many rights, and lovers are just pretenders if they cannot plan our occupy, and are cowards if they dare not process their plan—Kansas City Civil. It is quite interesting to note that some people are all willing to cover their something for the people. But lovers, they are not featuring themselves in the South Angus. The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. NEW HOME OF THE PARENT BODY THE readers of The Negro World were told in the issue on last week of the dedication of the new headquarters of the parent body and New York local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, at 142 West 130th street, New York city, and we dare say they were greatly impressed and delighted with the imposing character of the demonstration. The outpouring of the membership of the New York local and divisions within hailing distance of New York city, was inspiring. The great big up-to-date building, with its modern improvements and plenty of floor space for the work of the parent body and the New York local, made a brave appeal to the visiting throngs. The great work of the association will continue to carry on in its more modern headquarters, as interest grows, rather than lags, in the work. This is as it should be. The determination to succeed and not fail is present everywhere and gives encouragement to President-General Garvey and to those in authority to "keep on coming." Indeed, experience has shown us that "in the bright lexicon of the association there is no such word as 'fail.'" Obstacles appear at every turn, but determination to meet them and overcome them, and the spirit to succeed is always stronger than the spirit to fail. It depends entirely upon the way the question of success or failure is regarded by those most vitally concerned. Learn the way to the new home of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It will do you good, serve as a new inspiration and hope, to look over the new building and its appointments. SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS RIGHT OF NEGRO TO VOTE often since the adoption of the Civil War amend- polishing slavery and conferring the right to vote and be elected for upon the Negro people, that the Federal Supreme Court has delivered an opinion which in effect sustained the letter and spirit of the amendments. On the contrary, it has uniformly sustained the legislation of the States denying or infringing upon the "privileges and immunities" of Negro citizens. This has been notably the case in the discriminations made by the Southern States in election laws, the laws governing travel and accommodation and amusement. Indeed, very generally has the Supreme Court sustained the right of the States to "abridge or deny" the co-equal citizenship of the Negro, on the ground that such legislation was not discriminatory, because all citizens were subject to the like treatment, the like tests, the like penalties. For example, the Interstate Commerce Commission but recently disallowed the contention of a Negro litigant that he was discriminated against in the refusal of the railroad agents to sell him a Pullman sleeper at the Atlanta office, because the agent and several conductors swore that no such discrimination was authorized or practiced. So those in authority have sworn, perjured themselves, in denying registration or voting privileges to the Negro by one makeshift or another. The courts understand this, but the policy has been to rule by the theory of the law and not by the fact of the law and the practice of it. In this way the Federal courts have made the whole people responsible to the higher power for making and enforcing one rule of law for the white man and another for the black man. It was therefore, much of a surprise that the Federal Supreme Court unanimously sustained the contention of L. A. Nixon of El Paso, Texas, that he had been denied the right to vote in the Democratic primary election, held in El Paso, July 26, 1924, the discrimination being based upon the Texas primary law making it mandatory that no Negro shall vote in the Democratic primary. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of Massachusetts, rendered the unanimous opinion of the court. As millions of Negroes in the United States and many thousand members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are interested and affected in their rights as citizens by the opinion of the court, we reproduce the salient features of it, as bearing on the fourteenth and nighteenth amendments, as follows: That amendment, while it applies to all, was passed, as we know, with a special intent to protect the blacks from discrimination against them. That amendment not only gave citizenship and the privileges of citizenship to persons of color but it denied to any State the power to withhold from them the equal protection of the laws. What is this but declaring that the law in the States shall be the same for the black as for the white; that all persons, whether beloved or white, shall stand equal before the laws of the States, and in regard to the colored race, for whose protection the amendment was primarily designed, that no discriminatory shall be made against them by law because of their color? the upheaval in the Southern States announced that the Tempra legislative law which would meet this objective exclude the Negro from participation. We do not think that any such primate Supreme Court would not declare authorities in Texas, Mississippi, West States, openly declare that they will file the court. The New York World and leading, declares such intention of supreme law. It is worse than such as Andrew Jackson as presides. anks of the race for bringing the action by the Federal Supreme Court. We the constitution of the nation, many and we are negligent of our duty whenction by State legislatures and court privileges and immunities." We are belongs to us as American citizens not going to get it in any other way to fight in like manner for denial. The court dockets are cluttered with expect that we are going to get with citizenship, or phases of it, without Lord Tennyson. "It's better to have fought at all." read as the unanimous opinion of the breaching decision, which should have raised election systems of most of the operations of which the Negro citizen exercising his constitutional right there will ultimately be a demand from systems working disfranchisement to reason, as the deprivation works in the election of president and matters now stand, nothing count Negro and to the national citizenship of the Southern States. The war to fight it as Mr. Nixon has done. FACING REJUVENATED AND AFRICA "surrection and the life" of those who are alive again? Perhaps you do and it depends. True it is, however, in of nations, that there is such a thing to discover as they search the record time to life again.

We admit that public opinion is no small thing to cope with, but no man with the best interest of the community at heart will remain on the fence to the detriment of the public.

How and to learn that the majority proportion of our group in America is yet in the atmosphere and mental state of the antiquated or self-despairing Negro. And more regretful is our plight when our most "educated" minds are afflicted with this hopeless and dependent psychology. An article pertaining to the dangers of Constitutional revulsion, and the possibility of the Negro's present statum in the United States of America being seriously affected thereby, has been published by Mr. Kelly Miller. I repeat that the new Negro hangs the hope of his future security and protection on the realization of an independent government and national representation. To be more explicit: A government of Negroes, by Negroes and for Negroes. No other solution or remedy is evident, nor has there ever been any other solution so mertorious and deserving of our unanimous support and co-operation save the one presented to us by our dynamic leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, "Africa for the Africans, those at home and those abroad," is a declaration that should elicit the patriotic response and indorsement of every true member of our much oppressed and downtrodden race. Let us attempt to analyse the reasoning of the learned professor when he states: "Although the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are not fully enforced, nevertheless the Negro derives from them all the political advantages he now enjoys (?). Take away this support and his whole political superstructure falls to the ground." Accepting his own words gives us cause to believe that the probability of such a drastic step is imminent. Conceding that this possibility is a fact, what does the writer hope to gain by appealing from "Casar to Ocuart"? How well do we realize that our very existence has been preserved by a mere superstructure, without the requite foundation to sustain it. It is because of this bitter and disappointing realization that we rally so enthusiastically to the program of African redemption and racial emancipation. An emancipation that is absolute, an emancipation that is dependable, an emancipation that is endurable! Fellow members of the Negro race no better time could be chosen than that of the immediate present to unite our forces for unquestionable liberty, freedom and protection. Behold Japan; look at China—then be inspired and encouraged to blaze the trail as all other people have done and are doing for their long sought relief from tyranny and injustice. We have no need to make any apologies for this determined attitude. As a man we have been loyal and self-sacrificing to all other people but ourselves. The time has arrived for a reversal of procedure and action. Let us through unity and racial solidarity endeavor to save ourselves and cease whining and bemoaning our fate to the very fellow who is himself responsible for our suffering. Divided we stand—united we move. The U. N. L. A. invites and appeals to every Negro desiring a permanent solution. How West Africa Averted the Fate That Was Kenya's (From the Gold Coast Times) West Africa has been saved for the aboriginal races, not by the act of man but by the forces of Nature—the visible and invisible forces perpetually engaged in conflict with the forces of evil to whom our country is a Naboth's vineyard and who have been schenched all the time to take our land from us and to reduce us to a worse serdorm than is our lot today. And supplementing the efforts of the forces of Nature is the keen instinct of the West African natives, which unceringly warns them of perils ahead, for long before the white races were seized with the mania for land grabbing the West African natives were protecting their interests. In the Gold Coast, so feaulous were the people of the security of their land, and so suspicious of the activities of the white adventurers, that years ago they made the latter to pay ground rents for the land on which stood their castles and forts as a token that they owned no land in the country. This feaulony of their rights in land has been growing with time and was strongly manifested by the popular revolt against the proposals under the Lands Bill of 1837. Under that discreditable measure the government that discreditable wholesale representations which would have ended in creating this country the conditions in Kenya that have provoked heated discussions in Parliament. But our people had then of four centuries' experience; the methods of white administrators and they could not be censured by the plausible proposals under that measure. The success of the people in the conflict created by the Lands Bill was not a victory for themselves alone, but also for the white traders and the government itself, since it prevented the local administration from introducing East African conditions here. The security to their land confirmed by the triumph of the people over the measure of 1837 has enabled the natives of this country to spread the surface of the land with coast, which has proved so nourishing to both government and trader. And regarding the result in the light of present-day conditions, the government could be called upon to refund the cost of the Lands Bill Expansion to London in 1838, which provided it from introducing here the bad policy in France that has come in for unintended consequence. Some Things Garveyites Should Know BY S. A. MAYNE United States of Africa "Hall! United States of Africa!" from the trenchant pen of the Mon. Marcus Garvey, reproduced in the Negro World, is a poem of philosophical optimism, a weighty prophecy, an inspirational gem that Garveyites will treasure amid the tilt for nationhood. History informs us that the prison and an immortal number of its inmates are among society's greatest benefactors. It was in Madrid jail that Cervantes wrote "Don Quixote" "Robinson Crusoe" was written in prison. "The Pilgrim's Progress" appeared in Belford jail. Mr Walter Raleigh wrote "The History of the World" during his imprisonment of thirteen years. Martin Luther translated the Bible while confined in the Castle of Warburg. Dante worked in exile for twenty years, and even under sentence of death. St. Paul in his Roman cell composed "The Second Epistle to Timothy." During his first year in a Nordic prison Marcus Garvey gave to the world "African Fundamentalism" as powerful a document of human rights as was ever written by mortal mind. The post was quite right when he wrote: "Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage." While in New York a few weeks ago I saw a postal card on the desk of the Ilon, Fred A. Toote, acting president general, from a lady of the New York local. It read thus: "Dear Sir, I can not come to the meeting as requested. Please cancel the pledge I made on the mortgage fund as I do not care to belong to any organization that don't believe in God." The U. N. I. A is flooded with a bunch of eccentric religionists of which this lady is one. When all is well within they can see and feel God in the ideals we foster, but when the enemies press us hard, when factionalism arises, thus entailing more sacrifice and suffering, these devoted religionists cover their lack of courage and intelligence by hiding behind the convenient excuse that "don't believe in God." Such a label is perhaps the most degrading that could be fled against us. It can not be sustained by the libellants who have neither facts nor documentary evidence to prove their charge. Garveyism has no thought of decriving religion. Its business is to give a larger concept of religious values. Through a study of internationalism, of social interests and industrial and economic values as they affect the races, Garveyism maintains that if the race is to survive as such you must adjust religion to the present day. Giving up old systems for new in the religious life means to come into possession of a more progressive outlook on Christian service, thus insuring a stronger race. Mr. William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., told a New York audience some time ago that "Sex" is the crux of the race problem in America. His unpleasant conclusion was immediately challenged by the scholarly Dr. Hubert H. Harrison and others. Mr. Pickens was partially correct. But there is something deeper than sex—ambition. Sex is the end, ambition the means. The crux of the race problem not only in America but in the British and French colonies lies in the Negro's ambition to enjoy the full privileges of citizenship wherever he is domiciled. The foundation upon which the white man's civilization is built is too intricate for his unaccented mind, hence he can not understand that public opinion is greater than the constitution of the land, that that opinion fixes his status within the nation as a ward, and the title of citizen which he inherits from the spirit of the constitution was intended to serve as an act of national courtesy rather than a license to enjoy the political and social luxuries of his white neighbors. The thing called truth is invariably harsh and uncompromising. The Negro intelligentain fears it because it uncovers their ignorance and hypocrisy. The Negro means pine for it like a desert traveler pines for water. Garvoyism bemoaches the Negro to let his love and friendship for America, Britain and France suffice, and let his ambition reflect its nobility in African nationalism from whence he can enjoy the full rights of citizenship and political and social luxuries in the land of his fathers. A very unique division is that in Homestead, Pa. During the great war of 1914-1918 it was one of the most progressive in the country. Homestead is a busy center of the steel and iron industry, and like others in New population is of the Boating type. The official members who happy to serve. They loyal to the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and the parent body is remarkable. For the two years I have been visiting this division can not recall one occasion when there was any excuse for postponing a meeting. Sunshine or rain, winter or summer, they meet in the Masonic hall and transmit their business with admirable precision. President W. J. Thompson has served valiantly for years. A Christian gentleman, reserved and unassuming, he is the proud father of a large family prominent in the civic and social life of Homestead. Assisting him are: Mr. F. H. Young, secretary, numbered among our most trusted and efficient servants; Mr. J. Carr, first vice-president, resourceful and energetic; Mr. J. H. Campbell, treasurer, watchful and loyal; Rev. J. B. Saulsbury, ex-chapel, courageous and dependable, a valuable field worker. Homestead has faith in the future and is fully determined to do its part in bringing unbounded success to the leadership of Marcus Garvey and the cause of African liberty. Libelling the U. N. J. A. While in New York a few weeks of the Hon. Fred A. Toote, acting for York local. It read thus: "Dear Sir requested. Please cancel the pledge to care to belong to any organization that is flooded with a bunch of eccentric When all is well within they can be but when the enemies press us hard more sacrifice and suffering, these courage and intelligence by hiding don't believe in God." Such a libel be fired against us. It can not be facts nor documentary evidence to thought of decrying religion. Its bulious values. Through a study of industrial and economic values as that if the race is to survive as such day. Giving up old systems for new possession of a more progressive out a stronger race.

Homestead determined to do its part in bringing Marcus Garvey and the cause of Africa HEALTH TOPICS By DR. M. ALICE ABSERON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Environment and Health Health is a complex matter depending upon many things—our heredity our environment, the care we give our ourselves, our diet, our state of mind, our knowledge of hygiene and right living. Let us consider environment. It has a far-reaching effect on health. In the first place, cleanliness is important to health. If we keep our homes as clean as possible we can keep them free of most disease germs. We should be particularly careful to keep them free of household peats, such as cockroaches, water bugs and mice, because these peats frequently spread disease. Then we should choose rooms which get sunlight, if possible. We need sunshine for health. Moreover, sunlight kills germs, including those which cause tuberculosis. If you live in an apartment and some of the rooms do not get sunlight, choose the sunniest room for the living-room. Be sure to give the apartment a thorough airing every day. Keep the bedroom windows open every night in order to get plenty of fresh air while you sleep. In crowded cities like New York most of us have to live in small quarters. We have little room to store things. So it is best to give away, or otherwise dispose of clothes and other things we cannot use. City homes do not make favorable places for treasure-chains, such as grandmother used to keep in her garret. We are likely to have a serious problem in overcrowding moths if we attempt to hear clothes we no longer use. Above all things, make your home a pleasant place. Surround yourself with things you like—your favorite books, paintings of which you are fond, decorations of your favorite color. If your home is a restful and pleasant place you and your children will be happier. The state of mind has a distinct effect upon health. MAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOVERNED BY IDEALS WHICH ARE DREAMS Man has always had before him in the various stages of civilization ideals stronger than armies and dreams more potent than armed legions. These ideals have had their evolutions and experiences. They have formed the structure of things yet to be. Government itself grows out of ideals coming from the lips and pens of philosophers from the time of Plato and Aristotle. In these philosophies and those of the men of the Renaissance there were the ideals of freedom and equality, of truth, of beauty and, above all, the ideal of hope. Ideals helped shape this Nation out of the Colonies. The writings of such men as Roger Williams, John Wise and Thomas Hooker forecast in a measure the outlines of the great Republic. They were followed by the Idealsists of the Revolution, who "breached into the Nation," as John Adams put it, "the breath of life." This breath was no more nor less than the breath making men free and equal. Ideals preserved the new Nation after the Revolution, through the days of its early growth and down to the war between the states. Then came Lincoln, with his new and fresher Ideals of freedom, in our own time Woodrow Wilson projected beyond the borders of his own land the principles Lincoln voiced at Gettysburg. This ideal was the case that sung in the hearts of the Midwest when they lay under Egyptian domination. It is an old and desolate land breathing peace and freedom. The progress of mankind always has been the progress of an idea. Those have demanded more effort, then said the "first full measure of development, but they are the benefits of hope in the long road ahead—Society and Public Ledger. OLD NEGRO BURIED; THE NEW MUST DO AND DARE SPLENDID WAY IN WHICH MEMBERS ARE MEETING EVERY TEST EARNS PRAISE OF SPEAKERS AT GREAT MASS MEETING IN LIBERTY HALL Hon W. A. Wallace, Secretary-General, Encourages the Hosts to Go Forward, Braced by the New Pyschology Gained from the Teachings of Hon. Marcus Garvey All Must Think in Terms of Nationhood, Be Ever Mindful of Their Glorious Past and Build with the Special Materials Now at Their Disposal Various Other Speakers Also Deliver Inspiring Addresses, Stressing the Necessity for Hard Work and Unselfish Service—Each and Every One Must Make His Individual Contribution NEW YORK, Liberty Hall, Sunday Night, March 13.—No one who attended the weekly mass meeting of the New York Local tonight could fail to be impressed and inspired. In spite of the balmy, unseasonable weather, Coney Island, theatres and other places of amusement, served as no attraction for the new Negroes of New York, who assembled in large numbers to gain new courage for the task of nation-building upon which they are engaged, under the guidance and inspiration of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The auxiliaries were out in full force and performed their exercises in a commendably smart manner. This was followed by a splendid concert, to which the Universal Band, under Prof. Hassell, contributed in a style that was much appreciated. In the absence of the Hon. Fred A. Toote, acting President-General, the chair was occupied by the Hon. W. A. Wallace, Secretary-General. Hon. F. Levi Lord, Chancellor, was also in attendance, and several distinguished visitors and friends. Addresses, breathing optimism and settled determination, were delivered by Mr. Wallace, Mr. Lord, Capt. A. H. Woodley, of the Universal African Legions, Mrs. McCarthy, Lady Vice-President of the New York Local; Miss (Mrs.) 2nd Lady Vice-President of the New York Local, and Head of the Blay Cross Nurses. A report of the addresses follows: ATTENTION OF PRESIDENTS ORGANIZE YOUR UNIVERSAL POLITICAL UNION All Divisions and Chapters are hereby instructed to keep their Political Union in active operation and to insist on all members becoming registered at the first opportunity. List of voters must be forwarded to headquarters. Universal Political Union, Universal Negro Improvement Association. HEN. NED A. TOOTE, President General W. A. WALLACE, Secretary General Mrs. L. McCarthy, Lady Vive-President of the New York Local, was the first speaker. She said they must feel that something had been accomplished and was being accomplished in the world of Negroes when so many Negroes could be inspired to come together in such large numbers night after night. It showed the wonderful influence of Garveyism. It was no wonder that the world was today asking what they are going to do with the Negro. The Negro was now the world's great riddle since Garvey came upon the scene and made them realize their responsibilities and potentialities. After dwelling upon the accomplishments of the race in the past, mentioning, among other things, that all the present-day scientists had not been able to discover the secret of embalming which the Egyptians used, Mrs. McCarthy ended her address with an RHEUMATISM Pain Quickly Relieved With Red Cross Plaster Relief from the sharp, knife-like pains, the dull, never-ending aches of Rheumatism—that is what sufferers want. And you can have it. Simply apply a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster right over the seat of pain. You will be astounded and delighted with the quick comfort it brings almost instantly. No matter what treatments you may be taking in search of relief from Rheumatic troubles, don't fail to put on this old reliable Red Cross Plaster. It warms and soothes the affected joints, stops the pains and aches, subdues inflammation and drives out soreness in the swollen, painful flesh and joints. It gently massages the flesh with every movement of the body, and its medication is continually being absorbed through the skin into the tissues. You can cut the plaster into shapes and sizes to fit exactly the affected parts. Don't endure the agonies of Rheumatism another day. You can get prompt, genuine relief at the nearest drug store if you ask for the big Red Cross Plaster with the red flannel back. Inspiring appeal to the membership everywhere to rally to the support of the organization undaunted. Given the determination and courage to endure, success was certain. CAPT. A. H. WOODLEY'S ADDRESS Captain A. H. Woodley, of the U. A. next spoke. He gave a thoughtful address on "Service" declaring that if the Negro but fully appreciated the necessity for service, palataking, self-sacrifice and sincerity, all the difficulties by which he was now beset would vanish into thin air. It was service, and service alone, which would redeem Africa and enable Negroes of this and future generations to survive and enjoy the blessings of life. MISS ETHEL COLLIN'S ADDRESS Miss Ethel Collins, Second Lady Vice-President of the New York Local followed with a brief address. She stressed the need for men and women of the race leading useful lives, thereby helping not only themselves, but members of the race and humanity at large. One's position in life, she said, was de- termined by the degree of useful service one contributed, and that is one of the reasons why she regarded the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the founder and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, one of the outstanding characters of the twentieth century. Marcus Garvey had in a few brief years rendered a lifetime of service, as it is counted for others, to a race, and his contribution was bound to leave an indelible mark upon the world. MRS. A. SAYER$' ADDRESS MRS. A. SAYERS' ADDRESS Mrs. Amelia Sayers, head of the Black Cross Nurses of the New York Local, infused enthusiasm with a racy address in which she said that she could not refrain from congratulating the membership upon the way in which they were standing by their guns. It was a real joy to find that the absence of the Hon. Marcus Garvey had not lessened the determination of the people to uphold the colors of the Red, Black and Green. The enemy, in placing him behind prison bars, thought the end of the U. N. I. A and the fight for real freedom had come, but they were mistaken. The local members had been inspired all the more to carry on. The speaker ended with an appeal to THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1987 the women to come forward and fill the breach if the men faltered. This was a serious time. There was much work to be done, and when the Hom. Marcus Garvey returned, as return he must, he must find them prepared. HON. W. A. WALLACE'S ADDRESS HON. W. A. WALLACE'S ADDRESS Hon. W. A. Wallace, Secretary-General, spoke as follows: "I want to call your attention for a while to the necessity of our looking forward to the reclaiming of our own name, throwing off the yoke of Negro oppression, and breaking the bonds of mental enslavement. But to do this we must take up where we left off. After the corn has been gathered from the field, the stock rooted up, the leaves used to feed the cattle, it is impossible to grow new corn until the seed is again planted. "In searching the fragments of history, as relates to the glorious past of the Ethiopian, we find that in the transitions from 'Ethiopian' to 'Negro' not only was the fruit of his civilization appropriated by his exploiters, but the leaves of his accomplishments were used to feed their progress and the root of his ancestry plucked up and scattered to the winds. As a sequence to this base treatment of a people it becomes necessary to again plant the seed of inspiration and turn the eyes of the so-called Negro to Ethiopia that he may catch a true vision of himself and his possibilities. Gaining Strength "As the need takes a time to gain substance and strength beneath the earth before bursting the crust thereof and springing forth to the gaze of the human eye, so we, through the sacrifices and conflicts of our organization—an organization planted by the Hon. Marcus Garves—are gaining stamina and power to after a while come into our own. "It is an indisputable fact that all individuals and races are moved to action or inspired to deeds of greatness according to the estimate they have of themselves, and the incentive or moving force is in ratio to the efforts put forth and results achieved. Trite may be the saying that one is as he thinks, but in the conflict of life and the accomplishing of things we find that it is thought that moves the world. The man who conceived in his mind the picture of a great airplane fitting across the skies, loaded with fifty or a hundred passengers, proceeds to thing how this can be brought to reality, what sort of a mechanical combination or scientific adjustment can be had that will bring into existence this ideal, this thing so much heavier than air made to ride on the air. By continual cogitation and concentration of thought he finally creates the thing itself—his vision becomes the reality. On the other hand, had his mind been empowered with the ability of making and he failed to exercise his God-given faculties, the machine would never have been created and the great invention of the day would have been left for another. Youra to Conquer "The big businesses and great deeds of this country are built upon the strength of the fact that the youth is taught from his earliest hour, 'It is yours to conquer,' and your race calls you to the conquest of Nature's forces to subdue them for your persecution and enjoyment. Your forefathers were men of courage and went forth and endured that you might enjoy now. As they have done so much for you, you must do for those who come after you. Great paintings were executed by them, great books written by them, wonderful chemical analyses made by them, great inventions produced by them, great explorations made into the bowels of the earth, where were gold, iron, silver, platinum, etc. These raw materials were turned into useful things for your comfort. Look at their pictures, admire them, read about them, study them. They are of your race. Be proud of them. Your men are the bravest of the world, your women are the prettiest and sweetest of all God's creation. Adore them, protect them. You are a fine people, none better. Lift high your heads. Do and Dare "This is the psychology driven home to the Caucasian mind and it lets no obstacle stand in his way. And this is where the Negro has suffered for the motive power necessary to drive him forward into the do and dare ranks. His great deeds of the days of yore have been as a closed book, the performances of his people have been hidden from his view and a systematic atmosphere of ignorance concerning his own has been built up around him, until consciousness of internal power had become dead and his existence as the dry bones in the valley. Such is the comatose state into which our race sank as the result of the years of teaching that he was subject to under the tutelage of the white man who taught him always to think himself an inferior personage unable to cope with those of whom he was a protege. This impression had become so indented in his mentality that his mind had become warped and through distorted until Marcus Garvey changed him. "And so we have been compelled to inaugurate a new program for the Negro that he may be redeemed from the psychology of the Negro and be given a mental rebirth. The necessity of this awakening to a consciousness of who he is presents itself in every move the Negro makes. For to him the white man's ideals have become the smokers Buses inflicted threats, refuses coughs and vomits the breath with Ludwik. LUDWIK'S Madame M. L.. T.

Yet God said 'Let us make man in our own image and likeness, and all other peoples see Him in that light except the scattered Ethiopian. "It is time for us to say to our people, search the pages of history for the deeds of your own. Hang upon your walls the artists and the theologians, the poets and philosophers, the statesmen and warriors, the heroes and heroes, the writers and scientists of the race with which you are identified. Put into the children's hands books about their race: put into your child's lap dolls of it's color, and teach them that God made all of us and we are only one of the flowers in His garden, and it is ours to bloom forth in all the glory of which we are capable and show Him we are not ashamed of His creation. We must show that we are ready to take up again the cause of Ethiopia and march forward to nationhood made great, grand and glorious because we have put forth our hands unto Him and chosen Him as our Gulde. "Therefore, to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association we turn as affording and offering the greatest evidence and giving the largest opportunity of realizing the desires of an oppressed people, namely, the redemption of Africa, our fatherland and nationhood for our race under a motto that covers all—One God! One Alm! One Destiny!" HON. F. LEVI LORD'S ADDRESS Hon. F. Levi Lord, Chancellor, next addressed the meeting. He said he was feeling ill, but he could not resist the desire to be in Liberty Hall. The Universal Negro Improvement Association held for him the loftiest ideals and the highest objects, and it was his firm determination to be an ardent worker as long as he lived. If anybody knew of anything better than the U. N. I. A. for the Negro, he would be pleased to have that individual tell him. The Hon. Marcus Garvey had built up a great organization in the space of seven years, and it was the duty of each and every one to see to it that they so conducted themselves and so labored that no cause for feeling chagred would ever be given to him. The work was a noble one, and it required a high type of service. He, the speaker, was determined to do the best he could, and he appealed to the membership to make the self-same resolve. railroad to Tientsin today and conferred with his generals.

Chinese and British Barley Avoid Clash SHANGHAI, March 12—An incident that threatened trouble between Chinese troops and the British defence force took place here today when a large body of armed Shantung soldiers twice tried to enter the international settlement and were turned back by the British forces. The Shantungese were breaking a British regulation that troops must be disarmed before entering. Firmness and tact on the part of British officers averted trouble. Extra precautions, however, were taken tonight. The incident had its genesis in an application by the Chinese authorities for permission to march 2,000 troops through the settlement, but this was refused. Later a force of 200 Shantungese sought to march from the northern boundary of the settlement to the Chinese arsenal. When permission was refused, the Chinese marched off and returned later, 100 crossing the boundary. These were turned back by military police. The second attempt came when 500 men with machine guns threatened to cross. On being refused permission they loaded their rifles and machine guns, but eventually retired peacefully. LONDON, March 12. — A Shanghai dispatch to the Sunday Express describes a "pilling battle" in the heart of the British convention today between two opposing wings of the Kemalistang or People's Republic Party in commemorating the second anniversary of the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Be True to the Past FIGHT FOR SHANGHAI FIGHT FOR SHANGHAI (Continued from page 2) NOTICE had been coped up on shipboard in the river off Shanghai were enormously relieved when the order came to disembark and march, drums beating and flags flying, through Nanking road and out to Jeffield Park. And doubtless the Americans who live in Shanghai under the protection of the British flag were glad to see this visible evidence that the United States stood shoulder to shoulder with Britain in defense of the foreign lives and property centering in Shanghai. Unfortunately, it meant more than that. The Americans stuck arms at the end of the march in Jeffield Park, outside the foreign settlement boundaries, and while the foreigners who lined the streets cheered the Chinese stood impassive and silent. To them it meant that America indorsed Britain's action in invading Chinese territory because it happened to be more convenient to do so. Washington may be ever as careful in insisting upon its diplomatic independence, but all that the Shanghai cookie knows is that American troops followed the British along the line of march. Meanwhile, and to a certain degree consequently—the Nationalist movement continues to gain. Selim the Grim Doubled Empire in Nine Years Shelm the Grim, the Turkish sultan who conquered Persia, Syria and Egypt and whose early death probably saved India from conquest by the fantastic Moslems, was spectacular for his ruthlessness. At an early age he was eager to take the throne and fretted because his father did not die Finally, fearing lest one of his two brothers might anticipate him, he dehroned his father, who died soon afterward, says the Detroit News. It was suggested to the authorities oned him. Upon taking the throne he decided to avert any dispute with his brothers and their nine sons by having all of them he could seize put to death at once. Then he set out to enlarge his Frontiers. He raised an army of 140,000 and invaded Persia successfully. Then he went on to Egypt and Syria, taking them. He talked of battering his way into India, but he was suddenly stricken with illness and he died shortly afterward. He had ruled less than nine years, yet in that time he had more than doubled the size of his empire. A scientist is suggesting that man retained his tail some time after he became intelligent.

YOUTH $100 IN PRIZES FOR HIGH SCHOOL BOYS AND GIRLS Interracial Commission Wishes Papers on Negro Progress Since Civil War—Correspondence Invited ATLANTA, Ga., March 14.—The Commission on Interracial Co-operation with headquarters here, has announced the offer of three cash prices of $50 $20 and $20 for the three best papers by high school students on "Negro Progress Since the Civil War." According to the announcement, the papers submitted must not exceed 1,000 words in length and each must bear the name, address, school and grade of the student submitting it. The contest chooses May 1 and all papers must be handed in or postmarked not later than that date. The commission has prepared a pamphlet embodying suggestions and data, which will be sent without charge to teachers and students interested. In announcing the competition the commission says: "Ambassador James Bryce has said that in an equal length of time no other group ever made so great progress as the Negroes of America have made since the Civil War. The record is highly creditable to both races, and should be to both a source of pride and of mutual appreciation and good will. The commission's purpose in offering these prizes is to encourage the study of this subject by high school boys and girls of both races. To this end the co-operation of principals and teachers of high schools and leaders of high school groups is earnestly requested, in the effort to enlist as many young people as possible."

Anonymous Gift Embodies Harmon Prize Winner to Study Art in Europe First a regular army soldier—next a New York letter carrier—more recently a housecleaner, Palmer C. Hayden, thirty-three-year-old Negro, was a stop nearer the goal, he always has sought when he sailed for Parla yesterday on the French liner "France." In his assortment of jobs, "squads right," floor, scrubbing and window washing, his spare moment were completely occupied with sketching and painting. It was a rambling path, but he was always on his way. Last December he was one of twelve Negroes to receive recognition from the Harmon Foundation. For his exhibit of sketches—done in a tiny room at No. 29 Greenwich avenue, while he worked mornings for his housecleaning clients—he received an award of $449. But now, for the first time since leaving his home at Widewater, Va., he will have an opportunity to devote his entire time to his sketches. An anonymous patron of art made Hayden's trip possible. Attracted by the exhibit that won the Harmon award, the unknown donor offered to finance the trip abroad and make it possible for Hayden to remain there studying for two years. Hayden, who sailed in the third cabin of the "France," said: "After receiving the $500 award, I knew I could never get that much money together again all at once, but I also knew it was not enough to enable me to stay there for study very long. "I was able to bring it up to a little more than $500 by borrowing on my bonus check from the government. That did not solve it until this most kind offer was received. Now that I have this gift, I will be able to spend some time in an art school at Paris and later visit the art centers of Italy, Spain, England and Germany." WASHINGTON, March 7.—President Coolidge has committed the sentences of Neufeld and Winfield Jones, serving sentences in Atlanta Pententery on prohibition violations. The brothers were convicted in Baltimore and each was sentenced to two years. Neufeld Jones formerly was assistant Federal prohibition director for Georgia. They entered the prison last June. Their conviction was based on the misuse of denatured alcohol owned by the Maryland Drug and Chemical Company, of which they were officers. Exerts to obtain clemency for them have been in progress almost since they began serving their sentences.

TOOTH Acting President Gigantic Asiatic Revolt Against Domination by the White Man Seen—India, Like China, Is Determined to Be Free, and the Writing Is on the Wall—Africa Regarded as Oppressors' Last Hope China is leading a gigantic Asiatic revolt against domination by the white men, according to Upton Close (Dr. Joseph Washington Hall), who spent ten years in the Orient and is known as one of its clear interpreters. He has just completed a seven months' tour of the affected countries. He has been in intimate touch with those who are conducting the movement and has seen it develop in China particularly. This is the tenth of a series of twelve articles he has written on his observations. He is co-author of "The Outline History of China" and author of "The land of the Laughing Buddha" and other books. India is a melting pot of nations, filled to the brim with the seething broth of revolt. British officers' and civilians' clubs are today little citadels with stored-up provisions guarded by machine guns. While the British look on in pretended detached superiority at the Indian parties, contending among themselves for the newly created electorate, they do not disguise their real apprehensions over the fact that every one of these parties has as its ultimate aim ejection of the British. Regulations all over India, not spoken of publicly, but enforced rigidly in private, forbid officers' wives and other British women to stray more than ten minutes distance from the post. In Burma show that the rule of the British carries no more the sacred sanction of Kipling days. The great Chinese communities of Rangoon and Mandalay are also steady factors in nationalist fermentation. So in spite of the fact that Home Rule seems to be an innocuous success in Burma, and the chosen province is already marked out for the last British stronghold in India, yet it is at best an unstable peace and in the end, whichever way India goes, Burma will follow. I journeyed through India from Rangoon to the Baluchistan border. I visited the headquarters of the parties at Allahabad. I watched an election in swarming Calcutta. I visited the session of the Council of Princes, England's glided upper chamber at Delhi for the millionaire princes, and I traveled along the famed border among the hillmen of the north. From Burma to Persia I caught the rumble of an approaching storm. Almost every Englishman you meet candidly admits the British are preparing to get out of India, yet every action of the all-responsible Indian government betokens that it is not so easy to demobilise this immense experiment in alien government without making addresse and foverish efforts to stay. has begun to think and act like an independent nation. The Indian Nationalist Congress passed a resolution of support for the Chinese nationalist movement. It has recently protested threateningly against the dispatch of British troops to China. Russians, as you find everywhere, are insinuating this common deatiny idea into the minds of the great Asiatic nationalist movements—a most portentous threat for the future. They are also provoking a more disquieting "cooperation" on the Afghan border, where, it was believed on every hand while I was in India, an extensive recurrence of border raids will break out this spring, which may necessitate another punitive expedition against Afghanistan. The greatest mobilization of "tanks" in history waits on the border, reinforced by airplanes, while Afghanistan replies by creating an air force through Russian assistance. So grave is the problem of holding India becoming that at the present time a very strong school of thought has grown up among the British community in favor of setting the rest of the Indian Empire drift, save a few of the valuable smaller states, and cling only to Burma. There is much plausibility in this idea. Out of every 100 rupees of taxes paid in Burma, 76, it is said, are spent in making up deficits over the rest of India. From Burma come tea, lead, tin, teak, oil and the allurements of a vast general trade which is the cream of possession in India. Burma produces 200,000,000 gallons of refined gasoline, for instance, per year, gradually increasing with the aid of American extracting machinery of the latest type. The Burmese are totally different from the rest of the Indians in racial type—Mongoloid rather than Aryan. They are more docile, much less inflicted with the accession movement through this hee spread and is spreading with what the British scornfully call "Babu infection" from Bengal across the shallow bay. I found temple restrictions in Burma, however, enforcing on the white man the obligation of taking off his socks as well as his shoes and polishing his sacred white skin with the unpractical female beard. A host of such small signs in Burma show that the rule of the British carries no more the sacred sanction of Kipling days. The great Chinese communities of Rangoon and Mandalay are also steady factors in nationalist fermentation. So, in spite of the fact that Home Rule seems to be an innocuous success in Burma, and the chosen province is already marked out for the last British stronghold in India, yet it is at best an unstable peace and in the end, whichever way India goes, Burma will follow. India is moving toward democracy as well as toward freedom, with the disappearance of the caste-lines and the violent disapprobation of the immensely wealthy princes of the native states, whose subjects are among the most destitute people on earth. I had just attended one of the gilded sessions of these rajahs at Delhi—where the most luxuriant of Oriental pageantry is combined with Roberta' Rules of Order—when I heard one of the most widely respected Nationalist leaders say, "As soon as the British have stepped out, we will attend to these pan- Legislature Working for Prospery The Indian National Legislature is, of course, expected to support the British. But with its control by the nationalist parties it is bound to become, from the understanding I gathered by talking with leaders of all the parties, more an engine of separation and independence than of complaint legislation under British direction. Great Britain's experiment in limited self-government in India is working so apparently to the way intended that many Britishers there advocate its withdrawal at the end of its tentative term in 1929, or sooner. But such a thing is like a marriage proposal—the only way out is to proceed. During East India Company days Great Britain "lived off of" India. Her trade with India is still more than that with all her white dominions combined. The caravan trade over the 6,000 miles of Indian border alone is $500,000,000 a year. The British Isles still take $150,000,000 a year "invisible import" of wealth in the shape of dividends from enterprises—money that never finds its way back to India. But this is small return for the best British blood that goes to India. "We've Still Got Africa Left" As a secretary to the government at Delhi expressed it to me: "The sooner we get out of here the better; we'll be." "But what will Britain's field of enterprise be then?" I asked. "Oh, God always takes care of the Empire," he laughed. "We've still got Africa left!" The revolt in India against the white man's domination is only a shade less acute than in China. Its prospect of success is to have a united people behind it. And although terrific obstacles of race and religion exist, that prospect is far nearer than most think. Regardless of the conditions into which the white man believes the countries he governs will go should he leave, he must ultimately accede to the native demand expressed by Manuel Queson of the Philippines, and equally true of India: "We would rather have a government like hell, and have it our own, than have a Utopia served to us by someone else."

Policy In Central America WILMINGTON, Del., March 8.—The intervention policy of President Coolidge and Secretary of State Kellogg in the Mexican and Nicaraguan trouble was scored by Dr. John Latane, professor of American history and Creswell lecture on international law at Johns Hopkins University, in a lecture he delivered here last night in the New Century Club. The power of the United States is the only thing that holds President Diaz in office, Professor Latane said. The conservative government in Nicaragua would not have survived its first day but for U. S. marines and the designation of the principal cities as "neutral centers," he added. "But," continued the speaker, "it is cheaper for the United States to pay marines a few months' salary than to pay royalties on legal concession rights. "Very often," Professor Latano declared, no distinction is made when marines are landed to protect American citizens as to the residence of those citizens—Wall Street or South America. "Where," he demanded, "would General Grant have been if Great Britain had declared Richmond a 'neutral zone' and landed sailors to protect British cottonfields? "President Coolidge," he said, "is far in the wrong. "Coolidge and Kellogg," he continued, "have subverted the Monroe Doctrine and the rights of small nations to self-determination to the great gods—oil, wood and mining."

Nicaraguan situation to discuss the Mexican misce-en-scene. Declarating the religious aspect of the situation to be none of this country's business, he rapidly sketched the early history of the Mexican revolution for his hearers, terming it a social upheaval as far-reaching and profound as the French revolution. "The State Department and Secretary Kellogg," the speaker declared, "are wilfully withholding the facts of the Mexican situation from the public. They have repeatedly refused to give them to either the House or Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. "Investigation has proved," the doctor declared, "the United States and Great Britain to be the only obstacles to the reform program of the Mexican government. In this obstructionist policy the greatest factors are the oil interests. It is at their constant behest that the government refuses to arbitrate its difficulties with Mexico. Unable to establish a clear title to their oil lands if brought to trial in chancery or international court, Doheny, Sinclair and Mellon refuse to allow arbitration.

EUGENE CHEN BORN OF CHINESE PARENTS But Lived in West Indies and Married "a Colored Creole" One Son a Lawyer in Trinidad LONDON. March 5.—Eugene Chen the Chinese Nationalist Foreign Minister and the brains of the revolutionary movement, is a born Brittish, speaks English and French perfectly, and Chinese less so. He married a colored Creole, has a clever football player for a son and two daughters who have appeared on the London stage. All this is revealed by T. Beddard Jackson, an Englishman, who knew Chen in his early days and who gives his impression of the Chinese leader in the Daily Mail. For some time he was in daily and nightly association with Chen, then known as Eugene Bernard Acham. According to this informant, the general supposition that Chen was educated in Jamaica and at Oxford is not true. He was never in Jamaica, or at Oxford beyond a short visit. He was born in Trinidad, in the British West Indies, of pure Chinese descent, and was educated at the Queen's Royal College, Port of Spain. Twenty odd years ago he was a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Trinidad and Tobago, where, as quite a young man, he had already a considerable practice. His ambitions in those days were confined to building up a competency with a view to qualifying as a barrister-at-law, with eventual unofficial membership in the Legislative Council of the colony, which he thought was in great need of new members. His interests outside were in English and French politics and literature, in which he was extremely well read. He had probably the best library in the West Indies. After his marriage Chen's family divided their time between Port of Spain and London, taking the name of Acham-Chen. The wife died not very long ago in Port of Spain, where the only son, Percy Acham-Chen, is practicing at the Trinidad bar and enjoys a reputation as a Rugby player. The daughters are accomplished dancers and one is said to be a genius. After their London theatrical experiences they went back to Trinidad and now confine their efforts to appearances for Port of Spain charities. Egyptian Painting Found in Rhodesia CAPE TOWN, South Africa, March 6.—Two Rhodesians recently made an important discovery under a huge boulder on a lonely farm near Sallisbury, Rhodesia. They saw queer paintings on the roof of a shallow cave and sent photographs to Dr. S. P. Impcy, the leading South African authority on ancient rock-paintings. Dr. Impcy says these paintings are undoubtedly Egyptian art and that there is no possibility of a fake. "There are hundreds of crude bushman paintings in caves all over South Africa," he said, "but these are clearly of a different technique from anything discovered before. "There are seven figures, apparently miniatures, playing stringed instruments unknown to bushmen. In the cave is a large rock where the artist must have rested, using a long brush to reach the roof. The painted figures were Egyptian costumes, while bushmen's figures are always unclothed." Just take a dose. It is very pleasant, instantly then pain stops.

Visits St. Augustine, Fla., Town of Great Historic Interest, and Inspects Famous Antique Collection in "Garden City of America"—Slave Market Still Standing St. Augustine, Florida, the first permanent settlement, is about forty-two miles from the city of Jacksonville. It was established by Pedro Mendez De Aviles on August 30, 1865. His expedition, which called from Cadig, Spain, in July that year, consisted of 2,000 acres, embarked on board thirty-four vanships, the largest of which was of 2,000 tons burden. They fortified the house of the ecquie of the village of Dhilly. Ditches were dug and cannons landed. This house was destroyed by fire in October and the Spanikards built a fort of wood on an inlet about three miles south of the bar of the inlet, fifteen miles north of Matanzas Bay. St. Augustine has been the scene of many wars and has during the period 1866 to 1871 changed hands between the French Standards and Americans. A Famous Fort In this town can be seen the fort that withstood attacks from many. In 1866, the famous Pirate John Davis plundered the town. In 1702 Gov. Moore of South Carolina sont an expedition consisting of 600 militia and the number of Indians against St. Part of the expedition un- Daniels came by land, attack immediate possession of the town, the city, and the humble retiring to the fort. Gor. Moore arrived shortly after with a naval force, but owing to the lack of heavy siege guns, no impression on the fort could be made. Col. Daniels was then sent to Jamaica for the necessary artillery, but during his absence two Spanish vessels appeared before the harbor and fearing his retreat might be cut off, Moore after a siege of three months handed the undertaking and returned to South Carolina. Before he retired, however, he committed the burgharity of burning the town. From this time up to the tenth day of July, 1871, the flag of Spain, which for two and a half centuries had waved over St. Augustine, was lowered forever from the castle and in its place rose the stars and stripes.

CRAIGEN interesting thing there is the oldest house in the United States, located on St. Francis street, which is owned by the St. Augustine Historical Society and Institute of Science, and the very interesting antique furniture which consist partly of a Colonial chain brought from England by the ancestors of the late Dr. DeWitt Webb, founder and president of the St. Augustine Historical Society and Institute of Science on the Mayflower, a tall grandfather clock made in England in 1766; a console table, presented to Napoleon; by Marshall Ney; a paper-mache tip table made in China hundreds of years ago; a tabouret and stand, inlaid, from Jerusalem; a child's bed and other bedroom furniture used by Maria Theresa, mother of Marie Antoinette, purchased from the Austrian Government; a Masonic table; a high four-posted bed used by Gen. Hernandez, commander of the troops that captured the great Indian chief Osoecho; a Martina Washington dresser; a chair and table of Louis XIV.; a large old English table with Egyptian marble top; a dressing table used by one of the Khelides of Egypt, and other numerous pieces of furniture too numerable to mention. There are also hundreds of valuable pieces of Ching collection and antique them are the following: A Nelson plate, showing his death at Trafalgar on August 21, 1608; Mocvish plate, made 450 year ago; a French plate, showing capture of Louis XVI in 1791; an Egyptian marble sun dial on which are shown sixteen hours to the day; a Lafayette plate, showing his landing at Castle Garden, New York, 1824; a bowl showing Lafayette at the grave of Franklin; a plate showing the landing of the Pilgrims, and other things of interest are a large incense burner taken from a tomb in Egypt, the entire surface of which is covered with picture writing at least 2,000 years old, old and valuable paintings of the Apostles Mark, Luke and John. I was also privileged to make a wish at the wishing well. I am breathlessly awaiting the result of said wish. I cannot say anything of St. Augustine and not mention the great fighting Indian Chief Osceola, who was trickly captured, by the Spaniards and who after, having had the opportunity to escape, preferred to die the death of a martyr for the cause he believed in Fort Marlon, in St. Augustine, holds within its grasp many historical things such as the implements of war used by the Indians and Spaniards, the statue of Osceola, and the bones of many heroes. I must also mention the slave market that is yet standing and also had the pleasure of walking through the narrowest street in the world—Treasury street, which is not more than six feet wide. St. Augustine as a whole ought to be seen by all as a history-teaching spot for there you will see the influence that ancient civilization yet exercises upon the modern.

SEND IN YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS (To be continued.) --- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1987 THE HOME'S FINAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR CHILD Is the Christian Home Becoming Decadent?—Crime Bill of the Nation Placed at $16,000,-000,000 a Year From the Philadelphia Public Ledger To a considerable and even alarming extent the American home, as Americans once knew it, is changing. There are those who claim it has vanished or is vanishing and that the hearthstone is well-nigh as obsolete as the hitching-post. They point out how the old-time home was the unit of national morality, with a definite sense of direction in the training of its children. There has, it is admitted, been a change in American home life. This began a good many years ago. It worked swiftly during the war and no less swiftly since. In a period running back over the better part of a generation, juvenile delinquencies have greatly increased. Criminal activities have multiplied, and the average age of the American lawbreaker has gone down year by year. The crime bill of the nation has grown until it is now estimated at $16,000,000,000 a year. The criminal population, in jail and out, is said to be 2,000,000. About 400,000 police and guards are employed to keep watch and ward over the criminal. American murders total about 12,500 a year. The crime ranks are constantly being recruited from the younger generation. Youthful gunmen have become a police problem. There has been a crumbling of the old barriera separating the sexes. In part this may be due to what passes for modern literature, modern drama and so-called modern art. The multiplication of laws multiplying the number of possible offenses may be a factor in the upward curve of juvenile delinquency. Drinking may have something to do with it; but such explanations hardly go to the root of the matter. Another sinister thing is the number of student suicides. In recent weeks about a score of these have been reported. Psychologists, educators and mental hygienists have sought to explain them. There has been talk of "forturted youth" driven too hard by the machine of modern education, but there is a hollow ring to these explanations. The church and the school have been charged with failure to make the most of their opportunities and to live up to their responsibilities. The war, modernism, the motor-car and numerous other phases and factors of modern life have been indicted as contributing to youthful delinquency, unrest and unreason. Yet, granting that all these play their part, the final responsibility can not be escaped or evaded. In centers within the four walls of what should be a home. More than anywhere else it rests upon the parents of American youth, upon those who bring children into the world. In an appalling number of delinquency causes the trouble traces back to the home and the current neglect of everyday, homely living. Parents have much for which they must answer. While the machinery of the law does not always hold them responsible, nevertheless their responsibility is direct and may not be avoided or ignored. The home may be changing, the environment of life may be vastly different, but the eternal verities remain the same. Those finer influences which guide and shape the lives of youth need not and must not disappear. And if the American home as once it was is disappearing, all the greater reason for giving more and more attention to the problems of childhood and youth. There is hardly anything in life, after all, that is more important. Human faults and frailties, unchecked by wise firmness and family discipline, may be the forerunners of crime and delinquency. Society is changing and the home is changing with it. Yet if the heart of our civilization is to be preserved, the essence of the old-fashioned home must be saved and guarded. Therein is the answer, not only to the crime problem but to many another problem of a time of changes and transitions. TEXAS HATE LAW RULED OUT BY SUPREME COURT Decides Primaries Are Subject to Federal Law and Democrats May Not Discriminate Against Negro Citizens—Measure Is Unconstitutional WASHINGTON, March 7.—Political party primaries in States were held by the Supreme Court today to be subject to Federal laws. The Texas law prohibiting Negroes from voting in the Democratic primaries was therefore declared void and unconstitutional. Deciding a case from Texas, the court held that the States are restricted in their jurisdiction over the primary, and cannot bar voters from the polls on account of color or race. Justice Holmes delivered the opinion, and no disentention was announced. Negroes denied the right to vote in a primary on account of color, he said, had ground for damages, since the Constitution guarantees the Negro equal rights. The court said it was not even necessary to take into account the Fifteenth Amendment, which gives Negroes the right to vote, because the injustice of the Texas statute was sufficiently apparent when considered merely in the light of the Fourteenth Amendment, which prohibited the States from making any law to abridge the rights of citizens on account of race or color. Discriminates Against Negro "The statute of Texas . . . assumes to forbid Negroes to take part in a primary election. the importance of which we have indicated, discriminating against them by the distinction of color alone," said the opinion. "The objection that the subject matter of the suit is political is little more than a play upon word." The decision was handed down in the case of L. A. Nixon, an El Paso Negro, who sought unsuccessfully in the lower courts to recover damages against election judges who refused to permit him to vote at a Democratic primary election. Moorfield Story of Boston, his counsel, told the Supreme Court that 270,000 Negro voters in Texas had been excluded as ineligible to participate in Democratic primaries. Nixon himself represented that he had voted the Democratic ticket for years prior to passage of the law. May Receiver Damages "That private damage may be caused by such political action and may be recovered in a suit at law hardly has been doubted for over 200 years and has been recognized by this court," said the opinion. "If the defendant's conduct was a wrong to the plaintiff the same reasons that allow a recovery for denying the plaintiff a vote at a final election allow it for denying a vote at the primary election that may determine the final result. The important question is whether the statute can be sustained. "But although we state it as a question the answer does not seem to us open to a doubt." Racial Differentiations WASHINGTON, March 5.—According to George A. R. Gillifian, of Philadelphia, "The Negro, the Occidental and the Oriental are representative of distinct racial and national types. Each has some faculty more accentuated than the other; each is necessary to the other, the sum total of the faculties representing the allied resources of mankind. To divide these resources by purely racial alliances would have but one result, the complete collapse of every unifying and civilizing agency in existence. To attain unity it is necessary for each to give to the others some of its rights and privileges as well as to make constant efforts for the common welfare. The presence of the Negro in America indicates an obligation on the part of the white race to share its accomplishments with the colored. "On their side the white peoples must meet that growth in a spirit of confidence and co-operation. Every bit of their experience must be used to help shape and build evenly the newly forming racial character. In this as in all other efforts at mutual aid and improvement the first step is the removing of all thought or suggestion of aloofness, suspicion and lack of altruistic motives from the minds of those in whose hands the leadership rests."—C. P. B. Longhand Being Used To Copy Off Bible OAKLAND, Cal., March 3.—Cornelius Kelleher believes one must write the Bible's contents to study them properly. He has copied all of the New Testament and part of the Old Testament in longhand. For three years he has spent a half hour daily at the tank and at the last reckoning had written 1,174 chapters and a total of 31,041 verses. Legislation, Intended to Enslave Natives, Is Based on Theory That the White Man Must Always Be Master and the Black a Slave Under the heading "The Slave Labour Policy of the South African Government," the "South African Worker" on February 4 printed as a supplement a trenchant criticism of General Hertzog's infamous "solution" of the native question, as contained in four bills introduced in the 1927 session of Parliament. The Worker's arraignment was first given publicity at the Annual Conference of the Communist Party, South Africa, held at Johannesburg, on January 1, where it was presented as a paper. The Negro World reproduces below a portion of this paper, omitting the detailed remarks on the respective bills: (From the S. A. Worker.) A mocking and insolent challenge to the native people of South Africa has been thrown out by the Pact Government in the shape of the four native bills to be introduced in the 1927 Session of Parliament. mentary truth in the light of the many plious expressions to the contrary emanating from such allies or tools of the Imperialist exploiters as the persons, who are often hard put to it to reconcile the Christian doctrine they prescribe with the naked oppression Couched in intricate, sneaking and hypocritical language, they are nevertheless, evidently framed with the deliberate intention of curbing native progress, keeping the native races as such in perpetual and intensified poverty and subjection to their exploiters, and in particular suppressing the growing nationalist and Labor movements among them—with a shrewd eye to increasing and cheapening the farmers' native labor supply. It has to be admitted that such an intention reflects the outlook of the majority of South African whites, including most white workers, who are perhaps more brutally frank about it than the bourgeois elements are. That the white man must always be a master and the black a slave, forbidden to aspire to liberty, equality or fraternity, is the general assumption of Europeans, borne out in their everyday conduct, in social relations, in legislation, in police courts, streets, houses, mines, factories and everywhere else. It is sometimes claimed to be a particularly Afrikaner assumption, but it is equally assimilated, in all its contemptuous arrogance if not ferocity, by immigrants from overseas. It has been visibly encouraged and accentuated, even before the enunciation of General Hertzog's present policy, by the general attitude of the Pact Government, which represents both the agrarian and the "civilized labor" elements. Only a very few philanthropic liberal elements remain amongst the whites to protest against so elementary an outrage on liberalism and纵纵谬谬, but as usual abuses by attacking only consensual abuses while preserving intact the essentials of our economic and political system, accomplishes nothing, can offer neither substitute nor even real relief, and is consequently in most countries today in a state of decay. The opposing political forces in every country are more and more resolving themselves into two only, the exploiting and the exploited classes, leaving no room for third parties. The Working Class Viewpoint It is from this point of view that we must approach the Hertzog legislation and indeed the whole "native policy" of the ruling class in South Africa. The motive of capitalism being to exploit and rob the workers of the fruits of their toll, the native of South Africa is oppressed, not because of his mere "backwardness," not because he is of a "child race" calling for "guardianship," but simply because he is a profit producer. If he were not, he might indeed be exterminated like the American Indian or the Australian aborigines, or driven off any desirable land if other labor were available to work it, but otherwise he would be left alone. It is because the South African native is actually or potentially a worker for a master's profit that the so-called "native problem" arises, and in the view of the capitalist that problem is simply and solely how to extract the most work and profit out of him with the least trouble and expense. If we must regard him as a "child," then it is a case of child labor and worse. It is important to remember this ele- ```markdown ``` Professor Warren S. Thompson, sociologist and director of the Scripps Foundation for research on population problems, sailed recently on the French liner Rochambeau for a year's work in this field in Western Europe. He was accompanied by his wife and three children. "Contrary to the general impression, the birth rate in this country is higher than in the European countries," he said. "The average American mother bears more children than the average French, German, Italian or Polish mother. Furthermore, while the birth rate among Italians and Germans is high, as a general average that of the Anglo-Saxons is higher. "This is important because the dominant race in a hundred years will be the one that now has the largest birth rate. As a matter of fast, throughout the world there is now a general decline in the birth rate. This may be attributed to the greater concentration of population in cities. Urban birth rate is always less than that in the country." Strong America vs. Weak Nicaragua: The dispatch of additional thousands of marines to Nicaragua, and the landing of about 800 bluejackets to aid the marines, looks like actual war against Sacaga. If it is not war, it certainly is intervention, and can fall to become war only if Sacaga allows our forces to deprive him of his objectives without a struggle. The technique is amazingly simple. The American forces, whenever Diaz has been defeated or is threatened by further defeat, occupy and "neutralize" large areas, forbidding any fighting or troop movements within them. These areas appear to be strategically chosen to bar the advance of the victorious liberals. Indeed, it has been rumored that they will soon include almost the whole of Nicaragua. A Comparison A similar situation would have been created if, during our Civil War, British forces had been landed at New Orleans to "protect British interests," had then proceeded to "neutralize" most of the fighting areas whenever the southern troops were hard pressed, and Britain's foreign minister had claimed that he was merely doing a little necessary policing. But, of course, such things are not done to other strong powers, no matter how large the interest and how great the provocation, because then intervention frankly becomes war, with all its costs and penalties. They are done only when the enemy is weak and his forces feel this use is that theident, the secretary of state and the secretary of the navy have enough men and guns at their disposal to carry on a private war without any authority from Congress or support from the public.-The New Republic. SOUTH CHINA FREES SLAVES AND ORDERS THEIR ADOPTION PEKING, Feb. 26.—Slavery has just been formally abolished in Kwangtung, the southern province of China, of which the city of Canton is the capital. Sun Yat-sen, before his death, made plans for the abolition of slavery, but they are only now being put into effect. By a manifesto just published all slaves are not only immediately freed, but they at once take the legal status of adopted sons and daughters of their former owners, and will share in the rights of inheritance with children of their owners. The manifesto orders that all deeds to slaves, together with formal adoption papers, must be filed within ninety days. The slave system of South China has been similar to that in effect in the United States before the Civil War, but with even more evil features. These Chinese slaves have been subject to sale in the open market, and their children have automatically been chatel property, too. They have been used as servants, but their masters had the right to sell pretty girls into concubinage. In future, says the manifesto, "cruelty to slaves will be punished by fine and imprisonment." The sale of girls into concubinage is expressly forbidden, and orders are out that "decent food and clothing must hereafter be furnished for adopted sons and daughters." Training institutes and schools are to be established for the freed slaves, so that those who are backward and know nothing save manual labor can learn trades and reading and writing. The institution of concubinage is not, however, abolished, though no more girls can be sold as concubines. Ten Acres of Land As Veterans' Bonus BELGRADE. March 3.—All war veterans of Jugoslavia will be allowed to claim ten acres of State land as a bonus for war service. The ex-soldiers may choose the land and will be transported to their new homes free of costs. There are about 600,000 veterans in the country. "White Supremacy" The Working Class Viewpoint mentary truth in the light of the many pious expressions to the contrary emanating from such allies or tools of the Imperialist exploiters as the parsons, who are often hard put to it to reconcile the Christian doctrine they preach with the naked oppression practised on the natives by their patrons. The "native question" is a matter of business, and as we know from the bloody records of Bulhoek, Port Elizabeth, Village Deep, Bondswartland, etc., there is no sentiment in business. In short, we must view these bills in the light of the class struggle, and because we do, we condemn them lock, stock and barrel as embodying an intensified slave labor policy. What South African Natives Eat WARHINGTON. March 5. - Milk corn and kaffir corn, says the Mission Herald, the official organ of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, Inc., are the principal food of the natives. The supply of milk has been greatly reduced since they lost so much grazing ground through the advent of the white man. Oftimes a bag of corn or kaffir corn constitutes the only article of food upon which a native family subsists. Pumpkins, beans and peas are also grown, and in some parts white potatoes, sweet potatoes and peanuts are produced. Vegetables, however, that would grow in abundance are very little used. The wage paid natives in the mines is so low and the price he has to pay for corn when he buys it on credit is so very high that he can hardly eke out a living. Whenever a cow, sheep, goat or hog dies, according to the Herald, it is always eaten, regardless of the disease that caused the death of the animal—C. P. B. said to be no perfect food. By this says the U. S. Children's Bureau, is meant that it contains all the essential elements which, if taken in sufficiently large amounts, allow real and symmetrical development. Health and even the maintenance of life itself may depend upon the presence of certain indispensable constituents of diet. For children under two years of age breast milk or other milk is an absolute necessity for proper nutrition, which will enable the coming generation not only to measure up to the past standards, but to improve upon them steadily. One urgent national problem is to see that every child in the United States gets his full quota of milk that is standard in purity and quality. C. P. B. HAVE YOUR CHILDREN TRAINED ALONG BACK LINES OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey A CONSCIENCE STRICKEN WHITE RACE A guilty conscience has begun to torture the white race. They foresee in awakened Asia the stern hand of retribution preparing to return measure for measure all that it has received. They are in the throes of a horrid nightmare, superinduced by their own sharp practices that cause them to see everything red. England draws closer to America as she thinks of Canada and Australia in the Pacific. The cycle of civilization is shifting, and with it the battleground of the future. The age of the Atlantic has passed, the age of the Pacific is here. Soon a united Asia, with a population of over 900,000,000, will look across the Pacific and view a Canada of 3,730,000 square miles, sparsely populated with 8,800,000, and a U. S. A. of 3,027,000 square miles, with a population of 100,000,000 prejudiced whites and 15,000,000 disgruntled Negroes. The question that agitates one's mind is how long will white people continue to treat Asiatics as inferiors? America and Canada are in the danger zone. They must either acknowledge the rising progressive powers of Asia as equals, or be made to do it within the next ten years by a superior force of Asiatic arms. The people of the East are not aggressive, but they are a proud people and resent the badge of inferiority placed on them by their pale-faced brothers. While they may not make wars of aggression: they will certainly prove to their neighbors across the Pacific that yellow planes can fly as high as white ones, and yellow poison gas is as deadly as white gas. The 15,000,000 oppressed Negroes are asking themselves now the question: "What are we going to do when yellow rain comes down"? Will they say that the Asiatics are wrong to demand racial equality, or will they sing "My Country, Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty"? White America can prevent further Pacific conflict by an intensive program of enlightenment among her arrogant population, which has been taught to regard dark-skinned people like dogs. Her statesmen should stretch out the hand of fellowship to China, and sympathize with her struggle for national independence, remembering the depths from which she came to be what she is today. This friendly gesture would counteract the bitterness and revengeful feeling of the Chinese, and all Asia would then respect America's sense of justice. But it seems as if the inevitable must happen. Nordic arrogance refuses to treat with young Asia, and so the war clouds thicken, as the blacks of Africa and America and the yellow and brown peoples of Asia nurse a common resentment for being called inferior by white nations that spend their time exploiting and keeping them underfoot. A dreadful fear is clutching at the white man's heart. He knows he is wrong; he sees the futility of his continued struggle, yet for mere "cussedness" he will not be fair. He is in the throes of a nightmare. He hears the rattle of the slave chains, he sees an army of the black victims of his lust and greed rise from their graves with pointed fingers at him say, ominously, "Remember"1 He sees the sons of brutalized yellow peons dressed in his own armor, and on their caps are the words, "I will repay." He arms the coolies of India and Afghanistan to "suppress the revolutionists," and behold! Know ye, white men, that the East a soul; ye cannot judge darker peoples by your own materialistic selfish nature. Africa and Asia are not out to destroy Europe by bloody reprisals, all they ask is that you respect their rights as human beings, entitled to enjoy God's green earth. FRENCH WOMEN MUST SERVE IN THE ARMY Reorganization Bill Makes Every Adult Liable to Military Service—Whole Nation Must Train PARIS. March 6.—Equality of the sexes is the first principle laid down by the Government in its reorganization plans for the French army. The first paragraph of the preamble of the reorganization scheme declares every French subject over the age of 21 is liable to military service. Whether "service," in the meaning of the law supposes that women as well as men will shoulder a rifle does not appear from the text of the bill, but this will probably be cleared up later. Several amendments have already been introduced excepting women from the provision of the proposed law. An effort to give profiteering a body blow is contained in the preamble, which says the economic forces of the country in every form may be requisitioned by the Government in case of war, with the absolute prohibition of any profits. "Blackers" and conscientious objectors are dealt with in an article which provides that there may be no exceptions from the rule that every French citizen must serve unless physically incapacitated. The fundamental principle of the bill, as explained in the preamble, is the "arming and training of the whole nation." This does not mean the whole nation will be constantly under arm, but that preparation for the national-defence will be extended to everybody with shorted training. Consequently it will mean a smaller standing army and a short period of service with the colonies. The effect of the bill, if adoption as proposed by the Government, will be to allow the recruiting of a professional army of 100,000 and a deputy in the number of commensals with the colonies at any one time to something like 500,000. This would bring the total strength of the standing army from 700,000 down to 400,000. Politics is either a matter of passing the book or passing the doe.—M. Poe Tweed. State Will a Pursuit You would like to run of a district bound If the election is for the winner. Judge Rules Man Need Not Listen to Wife's Talk Judge Miller, of Kansas City, Kan. is a brave man. The other day he ruled that a man doesn't have to listen to his wife's talk if he doesn't want to. Moreover, he refused to modify an order restraining Mrs. Huldah Neugenbair from attempting to converge with Andrew Neugenbair, her husband. She is also enjoined from laying hands on him, which to Mrs. Neugenbair must be an unbearable restriction in the circumstances. The Judge is a brave man. The fate of the average husband has nothing to do with justice or legality. It is dependent altogether upon human nature. And human nature has decreed that if a husband wants to keep peace in his family he must listen to his wife, if he doesn't do anything else. He can refuse to attend the furnace; he can refuse to cook; he can refuse to rock the baby to sleep; but to refuse to listen to his wife when she has something to say is comparable to disobeying a traffic cop or to taking issue with a sheriff.—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Listen With Your Ears And Stop Eye Strain BOSTON, March 7 (A. P.)—Close your eyes while listening to the radio. This is the advice given by the State Board of Optometry as a means of consterning eyesight. In a set of simple eye-saving rules issued by the board at the convention of New England optometrist here today several other methods of eye relaxation are recommended. Closing the eyes occasionally while listening to a concert or a speaker, the boards may, adds in concentration, in reading a book at night closing the eyes for two minutes at the end of every twenty pages is urged. The eye muscles and nerves, the board remarks, are subjected to a greater strain than any other organ of the body. THE NIGRO WORLD SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1987 TAGORE'S NIECE STUDIES U. S. SCHOOL SYSTEM TAGORE'S NIECE STUDIES U. S. SCHOOL SYSTEM Indian Teacher Describes Home Life and Ideals From The New York Times For the purpose of making a study of primary and secondary school systems of this country, in so far as their methods may be applied to India, Miss Busha Tagore, niece of the distinguished Hindu poet, Rabindranath Tagore, has come to America. Miss Tagore is visiting schools in and around New York, after which she will go to Detroit and Chicago and later to California, returning to India by way of Japan and other countries of the Far East. According to estimates, only 11.5 per cent of the girls and 3 per cent of the boys of India have even so much as a secondary education. Despite repeated attempts to get a bill through the National Congress, India still lacks compulsory education law or the apportionment of sufficient funds to maintain a universal school system if it were established. Our free public school system and the close-knit, efficient organization involved in its maintenance are the facts that made the deepest impression on Miss Tagore in her first contacts with America. Education for the Masses "In educational methods America has much to offer that can be applied to good purpose at home," she said recently. In education, however, Miss Tagore believes firmly that India must not imitate, but rather must preserve national ideals and traditions: "Educate the Indian boy and girl for Indian life. To be like one's own people is the better way," she says. Like her uncle, Rabindranath Tagore, she believes that general education for the masses is more important than any kind of agitation for political change. A word such as "non-co-operation" is meaningless to the great majority in India, education being permanent and political conditions transitory. At Shantiniketan, the school near Calcutta founded by Tagore, fine ideals of Indian manhood and womanhood have been established by the influence of the master. Training for Married Life Indian girls should be educated and trained for marriage. Miss Tagore believes. "To be a good wife and moth- self in the wife of a prominent barrister in Calcutta. In India she is known as Suspanna Devil. Coming as she does from a family that for six generations has stressed liberality of thought and greater freedom for women, it was only natural that her early teena should find her in full-fledged revolt against marriage, marriage as a conventional custom. But tradition and a mother's firm guidance triumphed, so that she was married at sixteen. Meanwhile a new ideal had come to Miss Tagore through the reading of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." It was the story of Harriet Beecher Stowe's successful combination of a writing career with domestic problems that pointed the way and helped Miss Tagore in the problems of her own life. The use of her malden name for professional purposes she treats quite casually; it is a matter of convenience rather than conviction. Miss Tagore emphasizes in the training of young girls that come to her school the traditional ideals of Indian womanhood—the life-stories of the great women of the past. Contrary to popular belief in America, she points out that the women of India exercise a profound influence in the home and even, if their position warrants it, in public life. They have full control of money and the family purse; and matters of importance in the lives of their children, such as education and marriage, are left in the mother's hands. "We have flappers in India, too." Miss Tagore admitted; "flappers who hide behind their 'sarla,' the conventional Indian dress for women. Our problem is to guard against their imitating what is bad in their contact with the life of the West. For our schools we need system, organization, more money and leaders with vision and experience." British War Widows Find Now Husbands LONDON, March 3.—Although Britain is alleged to be burdened with two million surplus women, apparently her war widows and no difficulty in finding new mates. The ninth annual report of the Minister of Pensions, discloses that four thousand five hundred war widows remained in 1838, and that since the inception of the British war pensions scheme more than $3,000,000 have been paid, a sum claimed to be larger than that paid out by any other country. That so many war widows remarry should also be considered as remarkable in the light of the fact that by so doing they lose their pensions.

For information write to CIRCULATION DEPARTMENT THE NEGRO WORLD 60 West 136th Street NEW YORK CITY Ever Ready to .Defend Their Country and Fight for Freedom From The Daily Worker Many years ago I stood before a monument in Damascus, smiled—and pondered. It was a peculiar thing—that monument: a sort of Cleopatra's Needle of Modern Imperialism. Imagine, if you can, the upper half of a telegraph pole done in bronze (without idealization, without embellishment) and set upon a pedestal in the public square for the happy contemplation of the enslaved populace! Last year, when the papers were full of the accounts of war between French and Syrians, I remembered that monument. Monuments, it seems, even when cast in bronze, don't make imperialist rule permanent, but that one seemed especially a symbol of revolt. The Arabs fought. Damascus, which was the capital of Sultan Pasha Attrash, brave leader of the astounding Druzes, was lost to the French. Natives were forced to surrender the city and with it, no doubt, the public square—the site of the bronze chastening rod—a rod of science wherewith the absentee exploiters belabor and torment the native workers. During those months last year, the Arabs suffered heavy losses, but they "punished the enemy" (had it but been in person!) severely. The struggle for Syrian independence is not yet ended—although the battle of "Peaches" against "Daddy" Brown-ing may crowd out of the news altogether the French-Syrian conflict. Suffice it to say, the Syrians are still fighting their would-be saviors, the French Imperialists. But what I set out to tell was not the story of the monument, nor the square, nor the defeat or victory of the French or the Arabs. What I meant to tell about was the stuff the Druse women are made of. But if you've read about the monument, perhaps you'll read further. It is said of the Arabs that all of them are born fighters, but of the Druses it is said they are the bravest and most formidable fighters of all the Arab tribes. You can then imagine what the Druse women are like when you are told that the women of this tribe are braver and fiercer even than their men. Last spring, at the height of the Syrian revolution, it was frequently reported that several battalions of women appeared in the ranks of the Druses, and fought as fiercely as the men. Battalions of Druse women also appeared in defense of the ancient city of Damascus which the French bombarded and partly destroyed. When the villages were attacked the women who were left behind took up arms and defended their homes. Once the French attacked a village ruled by a woman chieftain. She lost no moment, but called together all the abbotied women and men in the village, and led them, armed, to defend their homes against the imperialist invaders. More than 30,000 Syrian lives were lost since the French were given the mandate over Syria. During the world war, the allies had promised Syria a native government if they came in on their side and helped them "lick the Turk." The Syrians accepted the bargain and did their share of the "licking," then found--to their sorrow, that there is no pledge made by a robber nation to a little nation that the robber nation is bound to respect--especially if the Capitalist League of Nations endorses the sentiment. Since the league had given the French Imperialists the mandate over Syriya, there have been twelve native rebellions against the invaders. And the women of the tribes—especially the Druses, have done their warrior-shade. The Syrian armies are said at present to be encamped in the wilds of the Lebanon Mountains. There each village on the crest of a hill is a cladel, and the Druse men and women are prepared to defend with their lives their right to freedom from imperialist domination. Some day the masses of Arabia will gather in the Square of Damascus to celebrate their true freedom—when a Soviet Syriya will melt down that "chastening rod" of imperialism to turn the metal to the beautiful uses of machinery of production, owned and controlled by the workers. In that day, too, they will, perhaps spare one small bit of the metal for a modest figure—the fearless, intrepid Woman Warrior of the Druses.

NOTES OF INTEREST Benefits of Installation Solling Installment buying is the backbone of America's prosperity, by leveling out the production curve. It has almost banished unemployment, creating more jobs through the increased production made necessary by the tremendous consumer demand. It has reduced the average cost of necessities and luxuries through quantity manufacture. It has increased wages, encouraged thrift and ambition, prevented spasmodic business depressions and made it possible for the wage-carner of America to find contentment in the possession of those things which even the rich of other countries seldam can afford.—The Oregonian. Is There a British- American Alliance? Is there a British-American Alliance? Did the British charge at Managua ask that a British warship be sent to Nicaraguan waters in order to facilitate Mr. Coolidge's task in persuading the American people that it is our duty to keep in Nicaragua eight armed protectors for every civilian American in the country? And were the British eager to have American moral and military support in the event of trouble at Shanghai, only too ready to perform this trilining service in Nicaragua? Can there be any relation between these events and the British note to Russia, threatening to sever relations with the soviets and to put Britain in the same position with respect to that country as the United States? Those are the most inevitably evoked by the strange co-ordination of recent events. The Nation. Poor Nicaragua in Uncle Sam's Grip It appears now to be the intention of the State Department to assimilate the status of Nicaragua as nearly as possible to that of Panama. It proposes through its catapaw, Diaz, substantially to take over the government of the country and subordinate it to the interests and the control of the United States. Whether it will actually negotiate a treaty to that effect with Diaz is doubtful. Apparently, however, the only motive which will deter the State Department from submitting such a treaty to the next Senate is the extreme probability of rejection. Its recent policy in Nicaragua amounts, in everything but name, to the establishment of a protectorate over that country.—The New Republic. Toward the Americas Our relations with Latin America are of a cultural, not of a political nature, and therefore have no bearing on North America. Each side of the triangle is independent of the other two, and the three work without any friction. Our relations with the United States are mostly economic, whereas continental or Pan-American interrelation has more of a political aspect. Our enthusiastic participation in the Philadelphia exhibition proved, among other things, the nature of our feelings toward the United States and our sincere desire to be in closer touch with them.—Senor Yanguas. Germany's Activities In Arms Germany's manufacture of arms and munitions of war is restricted by the Allies, but the Germans have been making large quantities of essential parts for arms and munitions and many of these are sent to Russia. Here, it is claimed, they have been manufactured into weapons which have been used, first, to strengthen the Russian army, second, to arm the Chinese Nationalists, and third, to accumulate stores which might be available for Germany itself under certain contingencies. Both Great Britain and France have strongly disapproved this practice, despite its apparent legality. Fortunately, this matter, too, is one which may well yield to diplomatic efforts—World's Work Magazine.

WOULD GIVE FILIPINO WOMEN RIGHT TO VOTE Feminine Element Is Best of Island Population, Committee Told By FLORA G. ORR Scripps-Heward Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 - If Congress really wants to take a big step toward providing a better government for the Philippines, it should give the Filipino women the chance to run things. So declared James Thomas Williams, Boston newspaper editor, to the house committee on insular affairs yesterday. Williams has spent considerable time in the Philippines. "The women are the best part of the Filipino population," Williams declared. "They do the work. They till the fields. They run the shops. They are the stable element of the native population, and worthy of great respect and consideration." The intermarriage of native Filipino women with American soldiers, in most cases without benefit of clergy, is due, other witnesses declared, to the desire of the Filipino women that their children may have white blood and get along further in the world than they could if they were pure-bred natives. This same condition of affairs, however, has produced a race of children in the islands who present a sad problem to Americans making the Philippines their home. These children are half white, many of them have fair skins and blue eyes. Representative Underhill of Massachusetts, ordinarily an anti-feminist, feels that Filipino women should be allowed their share in running the government. SONG OF TEARS By Margaret Widdemer Cry on your mother—she knows all about you— Cry on a kind malden aunt if you can. Cry on your brother—he gets on without you— But never, never cry on a man! Be gentle and wronged—he will leap to defend you— Be anilpy and scornful—he'll crouch for awhile— Be popular, very, for other men lend you A hale more lasting than Venus' smile; But when he holds out a strong, comforting shoulder And says to you tenderly, "Darling, weep here!" He gets to get wet, you will learn when you're older. And he don't mean a word he is saying, my dear. Cry on a cushion—its actions won't thwart you— Cry on a friend—she'll but tell if she can— But if you want anything male to escort you Never—no, never—cry on a man! Women Coal Ships At Virgin Islands ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands, March 4. Stolid women, clad in knee length skirts of burlap and with pads of sacking on their heads, have an important part in the coaling of vessels in the harbor of St. Thomas. When the whistle of an incoming steamer screeches into the hills—the signal that it is putting in for coal—they gather at the docks and, for two cents a basket, haul coal on top of their heads from the big piles into the hold of the vessel. Carrying such burdens develops in many of the women an unusually graceful poise, although it produces minor deformities in some of the weaker ones. Due to lack of a steady, nourishing diet, however, the natives are unable to work with the vigor of the white man. Their low wages, therefore, do not result in much, if any, saving for the ship owner when compared with the higher pay given stronger and more efficient workers at other coaling ports. Coaling of steamers is not the only important part taken by women of the economic organization of the Virgin Island. Many are employed as democrats by the white residents, and others work as laundress, and some find employment as the servants of more prosperous natives. A number provides support for the men of their families. Rubber Loss Appeal For Philippine Farmer MANILA. March 3. Rubber growing on small land holdings has lost its appeal for the average Philippine farmer. This opinion, formed by Dr. Stanton Youngberg, director of the Bureau of Agriculture, is based on the collapse of the demand for rubber seillings. "The tiresome process of tap rubber trees 365 days a year," exp the Filipino's loss of it. "Not any technicians who have a reason," thususlan for copra production and an increased acreage planted to cocoa nuts. You need Your Show a Single Gray Hair on the only line of the hair.

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