XXII. No. 12 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1927 PRICE: FIVE GENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN GENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN GENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES Jurors Who Found Marcus Garvey Guilty On One Count Sign Recommendation To Coolidge For Release Document Forwarded With Third Application By Great Leader For Pardon- Two Jurors Could Not Be Located, While the 12th Declined to Sign, Stating Trial District Attorney So Advised Him. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be delighted to learn that the Hon. Marcus Garvey is much better and has been discharged from the prison hospital at Atlanta penitentiary, where he was recently confined with an attack of la grippe and asthma. He lost twelve pounds during his illness, but is now, let us fervently hope, on the way to complete recovery. His remarkable tenacity and courage, however, remain with him in full measure, as will be gleaned from perusal of the following brief message which he has penned to the millions of his followers throughout the world. An active, vibrant personality such as is his must of necessity chase under the restraint of prison walls, but the ardor, the spirit of the man, his faith in himself and in the cause he so nobly espouses are untrammeled by man-made circumstances. He writes: "There will be a judgment for the wicked, and I am satisfied to bide my time. I see manifestations of the coming day everywhere, so I am not alarmed or worried over what the small minds do. It is sure that with all they do they will not, in their frail power, be able to stem the tide of the coming day. "My imprisonment is but a drop in the big bucket of time. It is one of those incidents that must occur to point the way to human salvation. I gather greater strength and knowledge by all that is happening, so why be downhearted? "The little minds with whom those who seek my liberty confer and to whom they appeal can see no farther than their noses. They have no vision of humanity and world problems. Little in politics, so are they little in mind. They are small enough to think that imprisonment can crush the urge of men who found themselves in the plan of cosmic law." No greater testimony to the high regard in which the Hon. Marcus Garvey is held by his myriad followers could be found than in their splendidly persistent fight for his pardon without deportation, unless it be their great devotion to the prosecution of THE CAUSE in his absence. No week passes but that telegrams and letters pour into the White House praying President Coolidge to exercise executive clemency. The third appli tion by Marcus Garvey for a pardon is now in the hands of the Chief Executive, supported by a recommendation for his immediate release, signed by nine of the twelve jurors who returned the verdict that sent him to prison. Two jurors could not be located, while the remaining one said he would have to consult Mr. Mattuck, the assistant district attorney who conducted the prosecution and who was amazingly severe on Mr. Garvey both during and after his trial. This juror eventually declined to sign, stating he was so instructed by Mr. Mattuck. Everything has been done that could be done to convince the authorities at Washington that public opinion, both white and black, is overwhelmingly on the side of the immediate release of Mr. Garvey. All now lies with Mr. Coolidge: And we venture to express the belief that he will not disappoint or ignore so large a part of the citizenry, which held him in such high esteem as to bestow upon him the greatest gift it was theirs to bestow. CERCUS HERTZOG SLAVE BILLS DESIGNED TO ENSLAVE NATIVES OF SOUTH AFRICA TO GO BEFORE LEGISLATURE AT AN EARLY DATE Six Million Negroes to Be Denied the Very Means of Existence So That One Million White Usurpers May Live in Plenty Exclusively Negroes Show Remarkable Ability to Advance and So Scheme Is Worked Out to Check Their Growth and Enslave Them in Their Own Land The following article, blandly describing the aims of purposes of the white policy of oppression under the Hertzog administration in South Africa, appeared on Sunday in the New York Times: At the coming session of the South African Parliament the famous four native bills, introduced by Prime Minister Hertzog, promises to be the most important legislation in the direction of a "white" policy so far enacted by the Union. the natives on the farms work under this system) are to leave all farms. This is to be effected by means of license fees. The Representation of Natives in Parliament and the Union - Native Council bill must be considered together, as they are designed to complement each other. Their underlying The bills, which are aimed at the ultimate segregation of the 5,300,000 Negroes within certain reservations to be set aside, comprise a comprehensive program for solving the so-called native problem. Under the new legislation, license fees and certain color restrictions would make it difficult or impossible for the natives to receive employment in "white" territory in the future. Only twenty-five years ago, when one of the Colonial Administrators, G. H. Nichols, now a member of the Legislative Assembly, went to govern a territory adjacent to the Congo, he found that he was the first white man seen by many of the natives. Despite their seemingly savage condition, Mr. Nichols discovered they had a developed code of law and a logical system of government. After five years of administration he recorded their enlightenment in the following terms: Gradually I saw the change come over them as they came more in contact with economic life. The tone of the villages began to change. The old hospitality of the roads vanished. Chicks who before had never thought of the value of the food they grew began to demand payments for the slightest help. The returning workers brought back to their simple knacks the economic standards of civilization." It is alleged that for more than a quarter of a century a policy compelling the natives, by taxation and other devices, to work for Europeans has been maintained; that natives have been absorbed in the agricultural and industrial life of the nation, chiefly in the former. It is now felt that the policy has been a mistake. The proposed native legislation, which would undo this policy, is set forth in measures known as the Representation of Natives in Parliament bill, the Union Native Council bill, the Colored Persons' Rights bill and the Native Land Act Amendment bill. This legislation follows closely upon the Color Bar act passed last session, the white labor policy and the Natives' Land act of 1913. The last mentioned act provided for segregation, which is to be carried out under the proposed new legislation. Fears for the Act The Color Bar act, it is asserted, will prevent natives from rising in the industrial scale beyond the most special position by prohibiting their employment at any process that creates, transmits or generates natural or artificial power." Finally, there is the white labor policy, which its opponents assert, is designed to replace all natives in Government employment by Europeans. Of the four bills the most important is the Land Amendment act. The underlying ideas in it are these: That natives should be allowed to reside outside the scheduled reserves only as servants under the Masters and Servants act, and that squatters (most of BAYER ASPIRIN PROVED SAFE Take without Fear as Told in "Bayer" Package BAYER Does not affect My Heart. the natives on the farms work under this system) are to leave all farms. This is to be effected by means of license fees. The Representation of Natives in Parliament and the Union Native Council bill must be considered together, as they are designed to complement each other. Their underlying principle is that the natives have not yet reached the stage of development when they can be trusted with powers of local government; nor can they be entrusted to elect representatives to Parliament. The franchise enjoyed by the natives in the Cape for the last fifty years is cancelled; as a substitute for their former rights, a native Parliament will be set up, in which the aspirations of the educated natives may be satisfied. Moreover, they will be given a communal vote by proxy in the Federal Parliament. Rights of Natives Finally, the Colored Persons' Rights bill. This provides for the registration of all natives who desire to become future voters. Education tests will have to be passed, however, before natives are qualified to vote. The arguments favoring the above legislation are somewhat as follows: Contact between the natives and white population has proved bad for both; it has had a demoralizing effect on the European and has prevented the native from developing along his own particular lines. The natives have set low standards of production, yet because of their cheap labor they constitute the agricultural laboring class of the nation. There is consequently no place for the poor white population in the economic life of the Union, and conditions grow constantly worse. As there are about five and a half million natives, as compared with one and a half million white persons, the potential danger of native domination and an inevitably inefficient civilization exists. HINDUS GET MAJORITY OF JOBS IN INDIA Their Predominance One of the Causes of Hatred Displayed by Less Educated Mohammedans The Mohammedan does not absorb education as easily as the Hindu or learn to spout Shakespeare at tittil time like his royal. He prefers to sit in a corner and brood over the past glories of his race. Anglo-Indians who have been long in the government service state that the natives have been getting a square deal ever since England took over the country from the East, India Company in 1835. In Calcutta one sees very little of the British soldier. Before the great war the regim was used to march along the Chowringee with bands playing and colors flying. A colonel at Fort William states that the policy of the home government is against military display of any kind. Rifles are suppressed by the civil police, and if they become serious native troops are called on to assist in quelling them. The Calcutta improvement Trust has pulled down rows of houses in the old native section of the city and is building wide thoroughfares leading to the principal points. One of them is Central avenue, which runs through the section by Harrison road where the riots usually start. At Kalighet Temple, located in this area, there are always ten to twelve British civil police on guard, in addition to a force of tall bearded Fikhs, to protect the American tourists when they go to see the goats sacrificed. Suicides Most Frequent Among the Unmarried Futile is more frequent among the unmarried than the married, according to a study of 307 cases made by Dr. B. Serin, a physician of Paris, and reported by the French correspondent of the American Medical Association. Futile is reported to more frequently by men than by women and more often by the elderly, rather than the merely adult. Mr. Serin said. He divides the causes of futile into five classes: Insecure marriage, poor good, insurance and poverty. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1987 How a Negro, Retained at 72 as Kellogg's Doorman, Rose from Rank of Chief Messenger to Rating as $1,200-a-Year Clerk WASHINGTON, April 23.—Edward Augustine Navoy, the 72-year-old colored messenger to the Secretary of State, known to generations of officials and to sightseers at the secretary's door, where he has been stationed for fifty-eight years, was retained by Secretary Kellogg today for two more years, preventing his forced retirement from the service for age. He was appointed by Secretary Hamilton Fish in 1863 and has forsaken his post only once, when he accompanied the Peace Commissioners as messenger in 1898 during the deliberations which ended the war with Spain. After attaining the rank of a chief messenger he was rated as a $1,800-a-year clerk by order of President Wilson, on the recommendation of Secretary Bryan. This was increased to $1,400 by Bainbridge Colby and to $1,300 by Secretary Hughes. — New York Times. COLOR PREJUDICE STOPS ATHLETIC MEET IN SOUTH New Orleans Gives Up Amateur Athletic Union Meeting Rather Than Let Negroes Compete—Race Trouble Would Ensue, Say Southerners NEW ORLEANS, April 21.—The National Amateur Athletic Union track and field championships will not be held in New Orleans on July 1 to 4, as planned, because of the possibility of racial trouble over a meeting in which Negro athletes are permitted to compete with whites, it was decided at a meeting here this afternoon. The meeting was called by Mayor Arthur J. O'Keefe after an ultimatum was issued from New York by Fred Rublen, secretary-treasurer of the Amateur Athletic Union, saying that if New Orleans wanted the meeting the city must permit Negroes to compete and that the Amateur Athletic Union could not offenfranchise any person on account of race or erased. Because of the possibility that all such inter-racial competition might cause race trouble, the business men who attended the meeting decided to withdraw their invitation. The racial issue between the Southern Association and the National A. A. U. was precipitated a month ago. Frederick W. Rubin, secretary-treasurer of the A. A. U., said last night when he Hurt Hubbard, the world's greatest broad jumper and a former University of Michigan athlete, sent a letter to local headquarters asking whether he would be permitted to defend his national broad jump title at New Orleans. Rubin was informed that Negroes would not be allowed to compete. He thereupon sent a copy of the A. A. U. rules to New Orleans, which in effect was an ultimatum, for the A. A. U. decrees that the rights of every amateur athlete must be protected. Arthur J. O'Keefe, Mayor of New Orleans and president of the Southern Association, called a meeting of the press and officials and the decision was reached yesterday that Negro athletes would not be permitted to compete, therefore New Orleans would not hold the games. A mail vote will be taken to determine a new place for the games. War Leaves 1,700,000 Surplus British Woman LONDON, April 18.—The World War has left more than 1,700,000 surplus women in England, an increase of 500,000 over the pre-war figure, it was revealed in the final volume of British census returns. The preponderance of women over men was most marked among those of marriageable age, there being 1,470 unmarried women between the ages of thirty and thirty-five for every 1,000 unmarried men. Much smaller families also resulted from the war, as well as a reduction in the population increase rate. Despite this the population increase rate. Despite this the population of England has reached 27,750,000, or one person an acre. Egyptian Cotton At the International Colton Congress held recently in Cairo there was included a report on cotton cultivation. In it the lecturer admitted that the future of Egyptian cotton could only be assured if the small cultivators, the fellahin, received much more encouragement than at present. Figures were quoted by the lecturer to show that out of some two million landholders only 12,500 held more than fifty feddans, and out of a total area of 3,697,032 feddans, 3,372,036 were held by cultivators of fifty feddans and under, seeking to take out a living in very crowded conditions. The rest of the land is in the hands of a few big landholders. British Constructing Harbor on West African Coast to Exploit Vast Production of Cacao—Gold No Longer the Lure WASHINGTON.—Engineers are giving England's Gold Coast Colony its first good harbor. Two cement-capped breakwaters are under construction at Takoradi each of which is more than two miles long. Swarming in the stone quarries and along on the walls of stone jutting boldly into the Atlantic Ocean are 6,000 native workers, supervised by a hundred Engelshmen. "At Takoradi England has staked its pounds, in part at least," says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographical Society, "on the American glass of chocolate malted milk and the English cup of cocoa. "The Gold Coast Colony is the world's largest producer of cacao which is manufactured into cocoa and chocolate. In one recent year the colony shipped 54,000 tons of cacao, valued at $10,000,000, to the United States. Gold Gives Way to Cacao "While the Gold Coast no longer puts its trust in gold, cacao has displaced the metal only within the last few years. For 400 years gold was the hope that glittered for white men on the Gold Coast. Gold mines built the railroad to Secoundee, for which Takoradi is the port. In 1924 gold shipments reached more than $4,000,000, but the mines seem to be nearing exhaustion. A geological survey of the Gold Coast Colony in 1915 revealed other minerals which may themselves relegate gold to the background. Manganese and bauxite are important exports. The first is used in steel making and the second for aluminium. "Of all the 'coasts' on the Gulf of Guinea, the Gold Coast has been last to give up its legacy. There were four: The Grain Coast', where Liberia is today; The Ivory Coast', which has given its name to France's Ivory Coast Colony; then the 'Gold Coast', which has become the 'cacao coast', and finally The Blave Coast', the littoral of present Dahomey and Nigeria. The elephants that supplied the Ivory Coast with ivory have disappeared, slavery has been suppressed in Nigeria since early in the nineteenth century, and it has been decades since Liberia sold grain in quantities. "Bound up in these names are much history and geography. Why should they be coasts? Why not real names for the mainland like Virginia, Maine or British Guiana? The answer is that for nearly 400 years coasts were all that Europeans know of this part of Africa. The Portuguese came and built trading forts. The Dutch, the French and the English followed. Sometimes trading stations were as close as eight miles to each other, as in the case of Dutch Elmina and English Castle Rock. "Safe in their forts, traders lived and waited for the tribesmen to bring gold, slaves and ivory. They did not dare penetrate a 200-mile barrier of tangled tropical forest; that stretches from the Gulf of Guinea shore to the edge of the Sahara Desert. Scene of Human Sachifices Finally, in the nineteenth century, the European nations began to consolidate their holdings in Africa. England took claim to 350 miles of the Gold Coast and ran the border lines (including territories) back 400 miles. Three districts compose the holding: First, the Gold Coast Colony itself; second, Ashanti territory, and deepest inland, the northern territories border in the desert. The tropical forest has lost its terrors for Europeans. The main railroad lines from two coast cities: Secondes and Acrea, the capital—join at Kumasi, the old island capital of the Ashanti tribes, where human sacrifices were offered up less than a hundred years ago. Allogether, there are 400 miles of railroad in the colony and 4,000 miles of motor roads. "Not only has the European lost his fear of the tropical forest, but slowly he is putting it to work. Tropical forests will keep the new port busy, not gold. Now that the natives have discovered steady profits in cacao, it is difficult to turn their attention to other agricultural opportunities. Yet the production of palm nuts for palm oil is increasing, kola nuts are important, and 'African mahogany' boasts the export figures by 250,000 pounds. With better transportation and port facilities at Takoradi more timber will get to market. Big logs had a vicious tendency to break away in the chronic bad sens, so the Gold Coast shore is littered with battered derelict bulks of timber that were intended for Europe."

Englishman Addressing Church Council Flays Shortsightedness of Nations and the Church In Handling of "Color Problem" BANTU REMINDER TO WHITE WORLD ABOUT GARVEY Declares That African Peoples Are with Him Wholeheartedly, and Continued Persecution Must React Disastrously Against Oppressors The following article appeared in the March 17 issue of Abantu Batho, a native paper published in Johannesburg, South Africa, in the English and African languages; MARCUS GARVEY The circumstances surrounding and leading to the persecution, prosecution and long sentence of Marcus Garvey evoked from the African National Congress in its plenary session in Johannesburg during April of 1925 resolutions on legitimate and moral grounds for the reconsideration and release from prison of Honorable Marcus Garvey. President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and addressed them not only to the responsible authorities directly concerned, but also called the attention of the other great powers who are either directly or indirectly concerned in the derogation of the Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey or Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asiatic and Europe for the European propaganda. If it is not wrong for any son of the European race to preach and awaken the just and racial consciousness of that continent to the realization and improvement of their lot; if it is right—and Sir Austen Chamberlain, Minister for Foreign Affairs, said it was reasonable—that China is for the Chinese; if the Jews under their Zionist movement are allowed and unhampered to call every Jew and Jewess to found their national racial movement for Palestinian rehabilitation; if Irishmen, after hammering for centuries, at last obtained their home rule, then on what just or moral grounds is fault found with the black leader when he also sedulously applies his shoulder to the wheel for the improvement of his downtrodden, degraded and exploited, enslaved and discriminated robbed millions of his race. But the persecution, prosecution and imprisonment of Marcus Garvey are an indelible stigma of the growing sense of injustice of the European race towards all people of different color. "Truth may be blamed, but never shall be shamed." In less than ten years the preachments of Marcus Garvey have, politically and economically, morally and educationally, awakened the slumbering race consciousness of black, brown and yellow races to action, and no amount of diplomatic imperial intimidation will extinguish the burning fire of determination implanted in the blooms of teeming millions of black, brown and yellow races of the globe. Imprisonment and exile of Zaghul Pasha of Egypt, of McSwinley of Ireland of Gandhi of India and many others have not killed the are of determination of their races from ableaving their right and legitimate aims of getting their equal shares and taking their places along with other other races of mankind, and if it has been so in these cases, so it will be in the case of Marcus Garvey. His continued confinement in goal will resist disobjection against his oppressors and also quicken the realization of his vision of a free and redeemed Africa, while attacks at the unassailable spirit with which he has revolutionized the Negro will brand his persecutors as the enemies of freedom, liberty and fair play. Sheriff Is Given Medal for Saving FRANKFORT, Ky., April 19.—Sheriff P. R. Brown, of Graves county, who in 1926 saved a Negro from mob violence at Mayfield, Ky., has been awarded a medal by the Southern Interracial Commission, Governor Fields announced today. The award was the first of its kind to be made in Kentucky, and Governor Fields, in sending the medal to Brown, in behalf of the commission, congratulated him upon the "applended service" he had rendered his state and nation. The handsome bronze medal bears a heroic figure with drawn award standing in front of a temple of justice, surrounded by the legend "In Defense of Law and Civilization." The award was passed upon by a commission composed of Hon. Hugh M. Dorsay, former Governor of Georgia; Governor John W. Martin, of Florida; the late Governor Henry L. Whitfield, of Mississippi; Mrs. J. H. McCoy, of Alabama; George R. Denley, editor of the Dallas News, and Marshall Ballard, editor of the New Orleans Item. When on June 21 of 1926 a mob gathered about the Mayfield jail to get Willie Bushy, Negro, charged with attacking a white girl. Brown gathered up his deputies and drove twenty-five miles at night through two rivers to carry the Negro to safety. Says Color, Far From Being a Weakness, Is Very Often an Advantage; No Nation Is Self-Supporting, and the Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man Must Be More Than an Empty Saying RAPS COLOR BAR IN CHRIST'S CHURCH WHEN THE LORD HIMSELF WAS A MAN OF COLOR Rule by the Sword Accomplishes Nothing; History Teaches Ruling Peoples Rule Themselves Out—Color a Convenient Peg on Which to Hang Prejudices—The Church Must Shoulder Her Responsibility, Not Play Safe Following is part of the text of a speech recently delivered by Dr. Harold A. Moody, at Birmingham, England, before the Assembly of the National Fire Church Council CAIRO. April 19—The ministerial crisis continues and from all appearances is likely to last for some time. Political circles have been busy all day bringing influences to bear on Premier Adly Pasha to induce him to withdraw his resignation, which the King has not accepted. Owing to the lateness of the hour of announcement in the Chamber, it was impossible for Adly to see the King last night to present the resignation, which he did at noon today, having attended with his colleagues a ceremony whereat the King presided. Adly's audience with the King was protracted, his Majesty having evidently used every endeavor to make Adly reconsider his decision. The audience ended without definite result, the King asking Adly to return tomorrow. This audience followed another given to Lord Lloyd, British High Commissioner, who remained a considerable time. It is obvious that the resignation of the Ministry has pleased nobody, least of all those primarily responsible namely, the Deputies, whose tactics in the Chamber recently in criticizing the Cabinet on every minor point drove the Premier to take the course he did, feeling that he could not longer bear the strain of endeavoring to conceive the conflicting interests of the Palace, the Zenghouloubist majority, which he nominally represents, and the Residence. Although it had been evident for some time that Adly's position had become intolerable, the suddenness of his resignation came as a shock to these Deputies, who fear the present situation may lead to dissolution, owing to the practical impossibility of finding a successor in the Premiership. Delegations from both the Chamber and the Senate waited on the King today, praying him to use his influence in maintaining the present Ministry. The Chamber assembled but ad journed until next Tuesday. Kenya Native Attacked Lion to Save Official; Get Blanket as Reward Kenya Native Attacked Lion to Save Official; Get Blanket as Reward Parliament was highly amused recently when Lord Henry Cavendish Bentnock asked what action was taken by the Government of Keuya Colony to give official recognition to the brave act of a native who, single-handed, attacked a lion which was mauling an Acting Commissioner. Mr. Ornaby Gore replied that the native was personally thanked by the Governor. When he was asked what gift he would like he chose blankets. Lord Henry: "Is it, not a fact that he has only received one blanket?" Blood stench, 'Is it not killer that he has only received one blanket?' Mr. Ornish Gore: 'I am not aware of that fact. All I know is he was asked what he would like and he asked for blankets.'—London Herald New York Blind Babies The Legislature of the State of New York has approved of the request made by Mrs. John Aldon, honorary chairman of the Department of the Blind of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, to increase the budget for the care of the wee blind babies and young blind children too young to take advantage of the State institutions. The appropriation now will provide for thirty blind babies at the rate of $1.50 a day, under the care of the International Sunshine Society, a Philanthropic Newspaper Club, Inc. with headquarters at 38 Fifth avenue, New York City. Bind babies now from birth will be given scientific care and training, that they may be ready for the New York City Institution for the Blind and the State Institution for the Blind when they reach the proper kindergarten age. "It is the duty, therefore," said Mrs. Alden, "of everybody who happens to know of a blind baby to immediately report the case that the mother may not lose the assistance the State now offers her." The New York City law provides for the New York City children at the same rate of 50 a day. I am keenly sensitive to the honor you have done me in asking me to address you today, but I view my presence here, not so much as an honor done to me, but as a tribute paid to my race and as an earnest of your desire to find a solution for the problem about which I am now to speak. Not that I deem myself capable of breaking any new ground and thus throwing fresh light upon this thorny problem, but that my very presence will convince you that a solution is possible. The Race Problem There are many avenues along which we may approach this very intricate problem. I want, if you will, to adopt the method of the scientist and proceed to examine some of the underlying causes thereof with a view to discovering the most efficient remedy. It cannot be denied that the immediate cause of the race problem as we know it today is the close proximity into which the races have been brought by our modern scientific development and the spirit which has been given to these developments by the Great War. As the races have been brought closer together so have they discovered grounds for antagonism. These grounds constitute the more remote but none the less real causes of the trouble. To enumerate some of these real causes of antagonism I would mention the anatomical, or if you prefer the morphological—the size and shape of the head. One has only to face an audience like this to realize that in any one race there can be found skulls most typical of every face into which ethnologists have classed humanity. We can therefore immediately alienize this feature. Then there is color. I want to say that I do not consider that color per se is of such fundamental importance as some would lead us to believe. As a matter of fact, granted certain conditions, it may be an Asset Rather Than a Distadvantage. Color is indeed an element of importance but only in so far as it is a most convenient peg on which men can hang their other prejudices. None of the nations of the world are completely self-supporting. They are interdependent. It has been sold of Great Britain: "The plains of North America and Russia are our cornfields; Chicago and Odessa our granaries; Canada and the Baltic our timber forests; Australasia contains our sheep farms; in the Argentine and the Western prairies of North America are our herds of oxen; Peru sends her ally, and the gold of South Africa and Australia flows to London; the Hindug and Chinese grow our tea for us, and our coffee, sugar and spice plantations are in all the Indies; Spain and France are our vineyards, and the Mediterranean our fruit garden, and our cotton grounds, which for long have occupied the Southern United States, are now being extended everywhere in the warm regions of the earth." We are by no means alone in this dependence upon others for the essentials of life. Such interdependence is absolutely inevitable in the nature of the world in which we live with its varying density of population and its unequal distribution of natural resources. The balance cannot be adjusted by one group of statesmen, thinking in terms of their own country alone and using their political power for economic advantage. This will obtain for a time as in the case of China, but also as in the case of China the sins of the fathers will be visited upon the children. No, politically we must realize the (Continued on page 16) Increase Your Weight 5 Pounds in 30 Days Or Money Back Doctors and good pharmacists know that Cod Liver Oil is full of vitamins that make flesh, create appetite, build up the power to resist disease and give good solid flesh on skinny men and women.

The white races have learned this lesson and are conquering everything by reason of it; but when they abuse the conditions of the trust they are thrown down and destroyed in the evening process. And the evening process is one of the most insistent and persistent forces in evolution. Let us encourage the Negro to secure the education he needs, and the Universal Negro University on the James River is the place for members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to make their best effort at such encouragement. Charity begins at home, you know. NEGRO HEALTH CONDITION IS A NATIONAL RATHER THAN RACIAL QUESTION QUITE 150 outstanding physicians of the Negro race from all parts of the country attended the recent annual meeting of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society, which is part of the Tuskegee Institute, and they quite unanimously agreed that the health of the Negro people is National rather than a racial question, and the readers of The Negro World will agree with them. Disase draws no color line and establishes no color bars; it visits the rich and the poor, the high and the low, as the case may be. And this is as true of endemic as of epidemic diseases. Disease is disease, however it is differentiated. The main thing about it is that it is no respecter of race or color. Like a prairie fire it eats up everything in its way. Those who are affected by it, therefore, are wise when they regard and treat disease as a common enemy, to be met and combatted as such. Dr. Agernon B. Jackson, President of the Clinic and Director of the Department of Public Health of Howard University, at Washington, stated the views of the members, which will find general acceptance, in the following: "Public health must always remain the business of National, State and Municipal Government and the officials chosen to carry out their laws. However desirous and anxious voluntary organizations and groups may be to put into operation a large health program, they can get but slight success without demanding and obtaining a scientific yet heart interest from those public officials chosen by authority to do the job. "No one will rejoice more than myself if some one will prove my next statement is incorrect. I do not believe that there is in all America a State, county, city or town which is doing its full or even its half duty in attempting to relieve the health conditions among its colored citizens. "This policy of neglect and indifference is unscientific, inhuman, unsound, uneanitary and un-American. Yet it exists everywhere because no large movement by Negroes has endured and persisted long enough td humanize their activities and set the machinery to work. The addition of trained Negro personnel to health departments will do much to solve this problem." Every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is vitally concerned about this question of health, which depends so largely on proper housing, sanitation and clinical control and regulation, because Negroes everywhere live in segregated districts, for the most part, in all of the large cities, and are discriminated against by the city fathers in the matters of paving, lighting and water, for the streets as well as for the housings. We have been startled and appalled at the ruinous conditions of health that prevail in many large cities, especially in the South, and the attitude of the city fathers, who appeared to assume that the health conditions of the Negro was none of their business, when as a matter of course it should be their first business, as diseases of all sorts germinate in and are distributed always from the slum districts of cities and towns, whether the dwellers of them are of the black or the white race. It is fortunate for the Negro people that they are developing a strong body of physicians, who have much race pride and public spirit, and are beginning to exercise a large and helpful influence in securing for the race better living conditions that make for health in every large community, and they are gaining the sympathy and support of white physicians and those who have the administration of public affairs. Health Week has become an established fact in the life of the Negro people, and it should grow every year, with the constant work of local medical associations of our own for its main support and encouragement. After all, there is no help like self-help. If we show no disposition to help ourselves others will not be called upon to help us. And no man, no group of people, live to themselves alone. In every community each member is a helper or hinderer, a source of strength or of weakness. And it is the first duty of parents to look after and safeguard the health of their children. They do not always do it, and neglect their own health as well. They should not so do. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS 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. PRESIDENT-GENERAL GARVEY'S ILLNESS THE members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association were greatly grieved to learn by the last issue of The Negro World that President-General Marcus Garvey was sick with la gripe and asthma. Under the most favorable conditions these complaints are very treacherous and difficult to deal with; in the prison conditions forced upon our President-General they are vastly more so. We are told that "the prayers of the righteous availeth much." Let us pray without ceasing that President-General Garvey may soon be restored to his normal health, and that he may soon be released from confinement, which makes so strongly for impairment of the most healthy body, and returned to the work and the people that so much miss and need his physical presence among them. AFRICAN NEGROES NEED PRACTICAL EDUCATION ON the fact of it, many may ask, what is practical education? That is a reasonable question. Many thinkers dealing with it would give many answers, most of them differing the one from the other. And here is some explanation of the mystery of man, which is the greatest mystery with which we have to deal, although the mystery of God has been placed in the forefront in all ages of which we have record, and for purposes of confusion, because we can come at the mystery of God not at all unless we first solve the mystery of man, "in the image" of whom, He said in the beginning, "let us make man, in our own image, male and female." The story is told of the philosopher Diogenes, that he went about the streets of Syracuse with a lighted lantern. When a neighbor asked him what he was hunting for he said he was hunting for "an honest man." The times were so corrupt that his neighbor did not stop to discuss the matter, but he would have stumped the philosopher if he had told him to search himself, as he would not find an honest man among his neighbors unless he found him in himself. That is to say, "Know thyself." How many of us do? Most of us imagine that we do, and are effectually blinded by our ignorance, and are constantly going farther astray by seeking elsewhere for what we desire and have within us, or in our homes. Education may be defined as practical when it teaches a person how to make the most of his talents in building a foundation for himself and for his family, and for the people of the times in which he lives. Striving to do this along the lines of least resistance often defeats its purpose, as accomplishment, perfection and supremest enjoyment in what has been gained comes only by ceaseless aspiration and striving for what we desire. We never properly appreciate what we get without effort, what comes to us as an inheritance or in indirect ways. It is the way of the world, but few understand and never cease to complain of the opposition and difficulties they have to overcome, instead of striving ceaselessly and courageously to overcome and to triumph. Super-men in our times, like Sun Yat Sen, Mahatma Gandhi, Benito Mussolini and Marcus Garvey, first get the vision and then master the education they need to accomplish their purposes. And men like these succeed where they seem to fail. They sow the seed but do not always live long enough to enjoy the fruitage; they reach the Jordan, as Moses did, but they do not always pass over to the other side. The man who sits around moping about the injustices thrust upon him is usurping his vitality and wasting his life. Everybody is too selfish, too busy with their own affairs, to worry about any other person or race. "Look out for number one" may sound selfish, but it pays in the long run.—Western American. The eternal superiority of the American white man over the Negro expresses itself in so many ludicrous forms that one wonders if it is felt to be based on merit or the mere assumption of tradition.—Birmingham Reporter. What the Negro needs everywhere is practical education, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association has planned to give him such an education at the Universal Liberty University on the James River—an education that will teach him to know himself and to properly evaluate his social, civil and economic resources. The first thing is to teach him to know himself and his resources. When he knows these all other things will come easy to him. Before the World War the Germans were the most highly educated and specialized people, and not only led the world in literature but in the arts and sciences, which they applied as well to philosophy as to productive industry. If they overreached themselves in the effort to conquer all others less educated than themselves, less masterful, they but followed in the footsteps of those of Babylon, Greece and Rome, who went out beyond themselves to find what they possessed within themselves, and thus lost everything. The ancient world was synonymous in its culture with Egypt, the But, of course, the African has not stood still and does not mean to stand atill. There surely must come a time, an education spreads, when he will be able to command his opportunity in the highest posts of the service. And it is as well that our European friends burdened with prejudice should get used to that eventuality. After all, this is the black man's country, and the European can only be a soloufer and a bird of passage.—Gold Coast Leader. We learned long ago that it was more glorious to suffer rendering a service than to live happily receiving service through error. Money is good and a convenient thing to have, but truth and character are better. Truth and character will add money and comfort to the life of the individual, but money cannot add either truth or character to man or woman.—Atlanta Independent. mother of literature, arts and the sciences, and they would all have endured to the present if they had been content to enjoy their own splendid resources instead of seeking to conquer others and to enjoy what others possessed. The disposition to covet the presumptions of others existed long before it was prohibited as a whig in the Ten Commandments. But man learns little by experience. If the master wants it he goes out to get it, by fair or bad means, but they have always to pay for wronging others. The Christian nations are falling into the trap of desiring what others have and making a fearful mess of the inheritance transferred to them by the word of Paul, "the chief Apostle to the Gentiles of Israel." but they have always to pay for wronging others. Christian nations are falling into the trap of desiring what have and making a fearful mess of the inheritance transferred by the word of Paul, "the chief Apostle to the Gentiles." The spiritual education which the Negro needs will teach him. Very naturally, we have been lambs who have gone to a shearing at the hands of schomers, both black and white, but we are learning.—Kansas City Call. Everybody is somebody, and everybody is entitled to a chance in the world—the poor, the humble, the ragged, even the outcast, is entitled to a chance. But when we boast of our possessions, our standing, our influence, let us not forget that as objects of Divine favor we own duty and an obligation to others.—Star of Zion. This life is very disappointing and troublesome at times. Often one wishes he was out of it, but it is the raising of the nerve to get out that causes the trouble, especially when you realize that you cannot come back again.—Richmond Planet. / The history of the past is a record of man's inhumanity to man, of one imperfect vessel accusing and shattering another for the faults of both.—Kansas City Searchlight. Idleness makes criminals. How much are you contributing to the crime list by not helping to make places for the employment of the Negro youths of the city? Think it over! Think again!—St. Louis Argus. When men who make the laws of our city lose sight of the interests of this racial group, then we must lose interest in their welfare and vote for the men whom we believe will stand ready to give us the only thing for which we ask—A SQUARE DEAL AND AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY—Positive Defender. The black man wants the insurance when he puts out his money that he is not only receiving courteously full value therow, but that he at the same time is contributing to the general welfare and progress of his race. The Negro who invests his savings in a white company that does not employ members of the black race cannot have this assurance of well-doing.—Black and White Chronicle. Appeals to Coolidge For the Release of Hon. Marcus Garvey Boston, Masa.; Detroit, Mich. Newport News, Va., and Costa Rica Send Individual Pieces The following telegrams were sent during the week end to President Calvin Coolidge by four units of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, praying that he grant the Negro race the boon of the immediate pardon of the Hon.

May it please your excellency: 2,000 Negroes, loyal members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in meeting assembled, of which Mr. Marcus Garvey is the founder and President General, and further, an true citizens of this great republic, appeal to your fatness of mind and justice of soul to seriously consider on this Eastertide the pardon petition presented on behalf of Mr. Garvey.

President of the United States, White House, Washington, D. C. Sir—We, the officers and members of the Newport News division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and citizens, assembled in a mass meeting, do sincerely petition you in behalf of Marcus Garvey, founder and President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and a peerless leader of millions of Negroes. We bache and pray your kind consideration of the release of our leader Marcus Garvey. He is a leader of a cause that is dear to millions of Negroes throughout the world. He has served two years of the five-year sentence in the Atlanta penitentiary, and we feel that the ends of justice have been fully served. Therefore, we humbly pray that you write your name on the hearts of the millions of Negro citizens and members of the organization throughout the United States by granting our request and releasing us our fearless and sincere leader. (Signal) W. H. PEARSON, President WILLIAM A. WALTERS, Secrty. From Costa Rica The President of the United States, Hon. Calvin Coolidge. Washington, D. C.: Nearly two thousand Negroes assembled in solemn conclave do most humbly petition your excellency in the name of God and humanity and pray that you consider our request to release unto us Marcus Garvey, and as in duty bound shall ever pray. CLAUDE WILSON, Secretary. Waldeck 28 Miles. The Successful Man Oh, he is not the most successful man who drives the finest car, owes the most acres, possesses the largest bank accounts, lives in the best appointed and finest house. Often the most successful man in the world are those who never owned a car nor possessed a bank account. Some of the world's most successful men are those who have been unmarried and unknown to public notoriety. They were humble and obscure tellers, doing their daily drudgery, living honest lives, fearing God, living uprightly and bringing up their children "in the fear and admonition of the Lord." These are the men and women who make the world a fit place to live in. The acquirement of wealth and fame may commute prosperity, but prosperity is not a synonym of success. Conservation to spiritual values and not adoration of coin and power make success—Star of Zion. Marcus Garvey, believed and revered by millions of Africans descent throughout the universe, lies seriously ill in the hospital in Atlanta Federal prison. This is news of greater significance to the whole world than the split in the ranks of the Chinese nationalists, or war clouds in the Baltimore. In spite of our prayers and appeals to the Department of Justice and President Coolidge, in which thousands of other nationalities joined, this man, whose only offense, if such it is, against white civilization is the arousing of a race 400,000,000 strong to the wrongs brutally visited upon it, still languishes in prison, a splendid example of democracy's conception of the rights of weaker peoples. And while he suffers a mighty storm that portends no compromise in gathering momentum in Africa, the longer he suffers the fiercer it grows in intensity. Our brilliant institutions seeking to preserve the peace of the world such as the League of Nations, the churches, the press, and the interracial commission should make themselves interested in the early release of Marcus Garvey—als death in a white man's prison occasioned by the rigors of prison life would not be such a pleasant thing for white supremacy. And no one knows what tragedies such a tragedy would inspire. For the peace of the world and the good of all grant executive clemency to Marcus Garvey.

The following editorial culled from "The Pittsburgh Press" is inserted here for the interest it should hold for Garveyites at this time: LIBERTY, CRAVING AND ITS POWER A convict known as "Peg-leg Jack" Gordon recently was captured in Knoxville, Tenn., ten months after he had broken out of a New Jersey prison, where he was serving a 12 years term. Because he broke jail and assaulted a warden, 15 years have been added to his prison sentence. Informed of this, he smiled and told his captors that his ten months of liberty were worth far more than 20 years in prison. With that remark, he went back jauntily to serve out his timer Jack Gordon will be an old man when he gets out of prison, if he does not die there. Judging by his record, it would seem that prison is a pretty good place for him; certainly he need not arouse any sympathy. Yet his remark contained a profound truth; and as he resumes his old job of weaving chair bottoms or pickling oakum or whatever they do in Jersey penitentiaries, we can ponder on it for a time. To a convict in prison, any sort of state where one is not watched constantly by a man with a gun is liberty. To a man on the outside, liberty may need much clearer definition. Yet both men want it—may, must have it if they are to live—and most of the trouble in this world comes because some people feel that some other people are denying it to them. Liberty is not a thing that can be denied forever. Even a convict in his cell, sooner or later, is apt to break loose, and when a nation instead of a lone convict is involved, the breaking out is terrible to behold. If you don't believe it, think of the revolutions that France and Russia indulged in after centuries of slavery. We may well beware how we infringe on the liberties of others. We may also take pains to understand this craving for liberty. It will help us to understand, for instance, the feeling that animates the Chinese just now. You can catch a convict and put him back. You can't do that with a whole nation. Some day you hope to go to Africa. Mrs. Amy J. Garvey, brilliant wife of our great leader, has just rendered the race another invaluable service.

Critics stamp him as the world's foremost singer of Negro spirituals, but it appears to me that he deserves greater praise for his brilliant presentation of the classics of Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, Schumann and Griffes. To hear Roland Hayes sing is to dwell for a few brief moments in the company of angels. To be with him in a music hall is to live in Beulah land. If the simplicity of Christ makes itself manifest in the resonant smile of a child, then His genius is supreme in the voice of a Roland Hayes. He is not merely a great concert artist but ostensibly an impregnable spiritual force swaying civilization in spite of itself. And a race that produces an Alexander Hamilton, a Booker Washington, a Tanner, a Dumaz, a Marcus Garvey and a Roland Hayes cannot die—there's genius in it sufficient to destroy the rankest prejudice and hurdle the most obstinate obstacles in the quest for racial freedom and independence.

ALICE ASSERSON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Treatment of Cuts When some one in the household accidentally cuts himself you may be called upon to give immediate assistance. It is important to remember that great care must be taken not to infect the wound. By attempting to wash it out and clean it you may introduce more germs than you remove. First pour over the cut a little iodine or hydrogen peroxide directly from the bottle. Then wash your own hands thoroughly with a clean brush using plenty of hot water and soap. After this do not touch anything but the sterile bandage, which you will apply quite firmly to the injured part. If the cut is a severe one and the bleeding pressure end for your doctor immediately, but try to stop the bleeding by making direct pressure on the injured part with a wad of sterile gauze or cotton. If the blood comes in sports, indicating that an antery has been severed, make direct pressure on the wound, but also try to stop the bleeding by tying a handkerchief, tourniquet fashion, firmly above the wound—that is between the wound and the heart. Thus you may render valuable first aid before the doctor arrives. WILL Give me that soul superior power, That dengue over fate.

TOOTE, Acting President-General BLACKS DYING FROM STARVATION IN OWN AFRICA WHERE USURPERS LIVE ON THE FAT OF THE LAND Drought Wreaks Maveo Among Africans in the Transvaal—Little Children Crazed by Hunger Eat Ashes Scratched from Fireplaces and Die Hertnog, Notorious Head of South African Government, Pretends to Be Aware of No Suffering—Missionaries Cite Cases and Suggest Remedies In view of the Government's denial of what were described in the Assembly as "exaggerated reports" in the press concerning the terrible plight of the natives in the Pietersburg area owing to the drought, the various religious bodies in the territory have issued a joint statement on the subject published in the "Rand Daily Mail." The statement indicates that the position is even more serious than the public have been made aware of by the newspapers. Several deaths from starvation are actually vouched for, and it is stated that the Bochum Hospital is crowded with patients, most of whom are suffering from the effects of famine. The statement is as follows: -- We, the undersigned, members of various religious bodies working an missionaries in the Pietersburg district of the Northern Transvaal, hereby desire to bring before the Government and public such facts and information as have come to our direct knowledge with regard to the effect of the drought upon the native peoples among whom we work. We are anxious not to over-estimate the seriousness of the position and, while fully aware that in six months' time the plight of the native will be much worse than it is now, we are at the same time convinced that the position is such now as urgently to demand the institution of relief measures on the part of the Government. Statements made from time to time by responsible authorities to the effect that there are still cattle in the locations and ablebodied men who will not go to work apply only to certain places. There are a few cattle left—very few compared with the numbers existing a year ago—but they are not public property; nor are they at the disposal of the starving individual. Ablebodied men are finding it extremely difficult to get work, and those who are not to be described as really able-bodied are in many cases turned away if they try to get taken on in the mines. We are at a loss to understand the reply of the Prime Minister to Mr. Payn given in the House of Assembly on Feb. 18 to the effect that: (1) There is no actual starvation existing among the natives in certain areas of the Transvaal. (2) The condition of the native-owned stock is, on the whole, hot unsatisfactory. (2) In one instance only has application for relief been made, etc. We would like to point out that natives who fear imprisonment for failure to pay but tax or other reasons heatsate before applying to the authorities for relief; and the native in general is not aware that there is any official from whom he can obtain relief. Also, we would like to ask on what detailed investigation, if any, General Hertzog bases his statements? We are convinced that statements such as these serve only to lull the public into a comfortable feeling that there is nothing to be done. To counteract this, we desire to draw attention to the following conditions which ob- BIG PAY JOBS GIVEN TO ALL This is certainly the land of opportunity. An old established company which has advertised its products for years and made a great success, is looking for women who want more money, a home of their own, a nice automobile, and clothes, etc. Everybody wants these things and no doubt thousands will get them by writing the company.

(ADV.) tain in districts under our observation; and also to outline such methods of relief as we consider might be adopted. Heart-Rending Suffering The Berlin missionary in charge of Matilda's And Malebogo's locations. Bochum Hospital, and a large area to the north bordering on the Limpopo, states: "Recent journeys to the northern part of my diocese have given me a vivid impression of the drought and its consequences on the natives. "Without exaggeration we may state that the natives in these parts have had no crops at all during the last two years, and the crop of 1927 threats to be a severe failure in some parts, as even a good rain will be too late to save the crop. I have heard of, and seen, heart-rending suffering among the natives. Whole families and small tribes are on the move in search of food from their better-situated relatives. Even the native evangelists, who receive a small remuneration for their services, have asked leave in order to visit other districts in search of food. "The prices for grain asked in the country stores are abominable; natives who bring a cow to the store will barter it for grain. Some of the natives are trading with peaches and other fruits in order to get some grain. Others have left the district to get work on farms or in mines but they have returned, as there is no work for them. "The Hochum hospital is crowded with patients who are suffering from minor diseases, but it is mostly the famine which is the cause of wounds breaking out, and, of course, they know that while they are in hospital they need not worry about food, as it is supplied to them. Most of them who are told that they are cured and must be dismissed flatly refuse to go elsewhere, as they do not want to miss their regular rations. Children Ate Ashes "While traveling north in the beginning of this month I heard a sad story of two native children who scratched the ashes of the fireplace and ate them on account of hunger, and consequently died. I hear from my evangelists in Matilda's that the calamity is even worse there than here. The natives lost nearly all their cattle on account of drought and were consequently unable to plow their lands." The head of the Berlin Mission at Medingen, near Dulvei's Kloof, in the Low Country, states: "Lower down from here, where the rains have been very scarce, the prospects still look bad. Up to now the natives have been able to buy from local stores of the farmers, but there are getting exhausted by now. An insect pest which shows this year more than in other years consists of the worms in the stalks of the menies, but generally, as soon as the rain comes along, these disappear again." We can actually touch for five deaths from starvation. Also that there is very severe suffering from want of food, families being in some parts reduced to one meal every three days. Moreover, there are innumerable numbers living from hand to mouth, and that before the winter has begun. It is safe to say that such people are faced with definite starvation unless something is done at once. Squeezed Remedies Such are some of the conditions prevailing today. The following are the methods which we would suggest an suitable for adoption:— (1) The Government to establish food centers throughout the drought area at distances of ten miles from each other. (2) Meals meal to be provided at these centers for those who prove destitute: (a) by written declaration from doctor, missionary or magistrate, (b) on personal application in a state of starvation. (3) The Native Affairs Department to be responsible for distribution in, and to, these centers. (4) When possible work to be done in return for free food. (5) No free distribution of food to any family, where father, mother and children are in receipt of money wages amounting to $1 per month or down (6) Local raised works to be estab- lished for native pay at the rate of free food and in per day (paid weekly). Suggestions for such work: Cutting away bad graduates on roads, straightening dangerous corners or drift, tidying the untidy streets of town, filling up insecure breeding areas before help. D.

Voice from Africa In Letter to Hon. S. A. Haynes African Worker for the Cause Bares His Soul Garveyism Working Great Changes — The Negro World a Boon—Efforts to Exclude It The following letter sent from Africa to the Hon. S. A. Haynes, the fearless President of the Pittsburgh division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was forwarded by him to the Editor of The Negro World. It has been necessary, for reasons which will be readily understood, to excise certain parts of the letter, but it remains as furnishing a very clear insight into the revolution of thought in black Africa today mainly as a result of the hard work of the U. N. I. A. and its great founder, the Hon. Marcus Garvey; "Hon. S. A. Haynes, President, "Pittsburgh, Pa., Div., U. N. I. A." Greetings. "It affords me the greatest pleasure to pen these words to you. Sir, I express the unbounded joy on receiving a letter from you dated October 16, 1926, to which I replied on the November, 28, 1926. I wonder whether you received the letter or not as I didn't hear from you since. I wrote another letter to Sir William Ware which was returned from Cincinnati, Ohio, as unclaimed, having right address. For that reason I doubt whether you received the one I wrote to you, Sir. I express my gratitude and gladness on reply to our letter, after reading this letter to the members and friends, and in our meetings as we hold our meetings in the open places as we have no halls yet, and native ministers are against us, they don't allow us to have or hold any meetings in churches or schools because they have this spirit of a white man, keep nigger down as much as you can help it. Evaton, Sophistown, Waterpan, Johannesburg, Pretoria, all members of these branches were much pleased to hear from Pittsburgh, Pa., division, all crying we wish we were in America, where our brothers and sisters are working for the freedom of Africa. "In Transvaal we are working very heavy. The white race taught the black race that a black man will not achieve his destiny, telling these so-called educated natives that if the Universal Negro Improvement Association pass through with their propaganda to reform Africa Garviesism will treat them worse than a white man. But most of our people who read The Negro World are awakened, because your speeches are encouraging us a great deal. This letter you wrote to us everyone who read it or heard it in the meeting highly appreciated. "U. N. I. A. propaganda penetrated in every black man, woman, lad, lady, but shackles of poverty blind them not to have a move. They are cowardice, pity to say that. In your speech in The Nicro World of January 29, 1927, 'Two Schools of Thought,' natives are turned pathetically toward heaven; white men are turned intelligently toward the bowels of the earth. The natives go forth singing, Take the world and give me Jesus.' Two schools of thought, one producing free men, the other sharts. One inspires, the other discourages. Exactly what is going on in South Africa. They went to the churches by thousands on Sundays, but on Monday hunting for a job, never create a job for themselves. You will see our young women and young men on Mondays going to jail by the thousands. They are going out of jobs by thousands, crying. How shall I live if a white man chased me out of his work? Never create one for them. Black Queen of Beauty, thou hast given color to the world! Among other women thou art royal and the fairest! Like the brightest of jewels in the regal diadem, Shin'st thou Goddess of Africa, Nature's purest Emblem! Black men worship at thy virginal shrine of truest love, Because in shine eyes are virtue's steady and holy mask, As we see in no other, clothed in silk or fine linen, From Ancient Venus, the Goddess, to mythical Helen. When Africa stood at the head of the elder nations, The gods used to travel from foreign lands to look at thee; On couch of costly Eastern materials, all perfumed, Reclinest thou, as in thy path flow'r's were strewn—sweetest that bloomed. Thy transcendent, marvellous beauty made the whole world mad, Bringing Solomon to tears as he viewed thy comeliness; Anthony and the younger Caesars wept at thy royal feet, Preferring death than to leave thy presence, their foes to meet. You, in all ages, have attracted the adoring world, And caused many a bloody banner to be unfurled; You have sat upon exalted and lofty eminence, To see a world fight in your ancient African defense. Today you have been dethroned, through the weakness of your men, While, in frenzy, those who of yore craved your smiles and your hand— Those who were all monsters and could not with love approach you— Have insulted your pride and now attack your good virtue. Because of disunion you became mother of the world, Giving tinge of robust color to five continents, Making a greater world of millions of colored races. Whose claim to beauty is reflected through our black faces. From the handsome Indian to the European brunette, There is a claim for that credit of their sunny beauty That no one can c'e'er take from thee. O Queen of all women, Who hast borne trials and troubles of racial burden. Once more we shall, in Africa, fight and conquer for you. Restoring the pearly crown that proud Queen Sheba did wear; Yea, it may mean blood, it may mean death; but still we shall fight, Bearing our banners to Victry, men of Afric's might. Superior Angels look like you in Heaven above. For thou art fairest, queen of the seasons, queen of our love; No condition shall make us ever in life desert thee.

The city also has long possessed numerous vegetarian restaurants where neither beer nor wine is sold.

The following news items, in which the plight of Negroes is referred to are called from the New York dialect: GREENVILLE, Miss., April 24.—Another 1,000 refugees were taken from Greenville today to Vickburg on the steamer Barrett. Included in this number were 500 white women and children. This number will be replaced, however, by another thousand who are being brought here from Lake Lee, twelve miles south of here. Six thousand Negroes are encamped on the levee and 4,000 white people are quartered in hotels and other buildings in this flooded city. Kitchens have been erected on the concrete wharf. Food enough for the whole population is reported on route to the city, and Red Cross officials stated that tents to house every one would be erected by tomorrow. The plan now is to erect a tented city on the levee, which is twenty feet wide. The city will extend for a distance of the a miles or more. Of the 10,000 persons who are planning to remain here throughout the period of the flood, 6,000 are Negroes. It was evident to the authorities that many citizens were reluctant to leave their homes and business and preferred to take their chances in the flooded city. Long lines of Negroes with their sleeves rolled up passed by health officers on the levee all day to receive typhoid serum. The serum was dropped on the roof of the courthouse from an airplane believed to have come from Memphis or Jackson.

Negro Refugees Cheerful and Helpful Negroes predominate among the refugees, and their placid optimism, despite the loss of all possessions, together with obedience and willingness to help in the care of refugee camp-aided relief workers greatly, it was said. Rescue work in the northern flood area is being pushed by the Coast Guard, which today ordered a relief party, consisting of the entire personnel at Louville, to proceed to Calio to aid in this task. More than 2,000 refugees have been taken out by the Coast Guard cutter Kankakee. Huge Losses Estimated Reports to the Red Cross from every part of the flood area all agree that thousands and thousands of farmers have lost practically everything they had except the land itself. Horses, mules, cows, hogs have been drowned by the hundreds of thousands read reports received by Director Baker of the Red Cross. The carcasses are floating everywhere and constitute a menace to health of the first magnitude. It will probably be a month or six weeks before this phase of the problem can be solved, and solved it must be, says Mr. Baker, if the health of those in the stricken areas is to be safeguarded. Monaca of Epidemics "Our greatest menace," says Director Baker this afternoon, "is typhoid fever, and the next more grave problem will be measles, scarlet fever and enteric disorders. We are already moving to meet this phase of the problem and the government is rushing all its available supply of typhoid serum to us. No time is to be lost in inoculating old and young in every part of the flood zone in which the danger of pestilence is apparent. "America has never faced a more pathetic situation than the plight of these thousands upon thousands of little fariners.

The cotton loss will go into the millions of dollars, as the flood zones include the very finest cotton in the Southern States. There may be a chance to replant in some sections such as the valley of the Arkansas River, which just now is on a rampage all the way from Fort Smith on the Oklahoma line to the Mississippi, and the same is true in parts of Mississippi, Louisiana and Eastern Arkansas, but no matter what happens, a crop such as is grown under normal conditions will be, say those who know this country, impossible this year. The agricultural loss may go as high as $500,000,000, and there are some who estimate even higher. But this will not be the only loss of gigantic proportions due to the record breaking flood. The lumber industry, or instance, will suffer a loss running into the millions, the Hardwood Manufacturers' Association of Memphis estimated, in a statement issued last night listing 124 large hardwood mills that have been flooded out of business and with more expected to go under before the flood is many more days old. Roland Hayes Has Remarkable Reception At Closing Recital Roland Hayes, famous American Negro tenor, sang his night in Carnegie Hall to a capacity house a program of classic, modern and Negro folk music, to which he brought all the resources of natural talent and acquired art which have won him the admiration of music lovers the world over. The unique gifts of this artist in the interpretation of music covering a wide range of style and period have through his frequent appearances in this city become well known to the concert-going public. All these characteristics were in evidence last night. The refinement of style, the debate restraint and the clear diction, coupled with emotional fervor and, in the spirituals, a naïve colored with the poignant yearning of his race. Mr. Haves introduced his program with three songs of the 17th and 18th centuries, J. W. Francis's "Sei Nar Still," Lulla's "Charmants Ruisseaux," and Caccini's "Amarillit," to which he brought his familiar qualities of delicate nuance and sense of melodic line. It may indeed be said that in the large auditorium some of the numbers suffered somewhat from an over-retirement of style, with resultant loss of vocal resonance and carrying power, and even occasional huskiness of tone. The second group was devoted to three Schuhert leder, "Schwanengeang," "Der Jungling an der Quelle," which was repeated, and "Die Liebe hat gelogen;" also Schumann's "Der Nussbaum" and "Ich hab in Traum gewinet." To this group he added as encore a setting of Paul Laurence Dunker's "Dawn." George Henschels "Morning Hymn," sung with admirable legato and sustained tone; Jensen's "Murmuring Zephyr," raised from its inherent sentimentality by the restrained art of the singer; Warren Story's Smith's "A Caravan From China Comes," filled with exotic warmth and atmosphere; and Roger Quilter's Landlar "Love Philosophy," made up the following group, which was followed by four spirituals, including the singers' own arrangement of "Deep River." The audience was reluctant to leave and Mr. Hayes added several encores. William Lawrence, who has often appeared with Mr. Hayes, provided piano accompaniments of impeccable taste and musical understanding. -- New York Times.

DRAKE International Organizer In Rousing Address to Washington, D.C., Division Scores Negroes for Economic Apathy. The following address was delivered recently by the Honorable J. G. St. Chair Drake at the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium in Washington, D. C., at a large mass meeting held under the auspices of the Washington Division, Universal Negro Improvement Association: Since it is true that no chain is stronger than its weakest link, so it is true that no nation is stronger than the weakest of its local communities, and, by the same rule, the world is no stronger than the weakest of its nations. The thing that counts most is unity. This the Negro race lacks. The yellow and white races are both more united than the Negro race. We are more scattered, not only from a geographical standpoint but from a moral viewpoint. There are 13,000,000 Jews all over the world, yet Jews run the money markets of the world. Take, for instance, not long ago there was a large theatre that catered only to Gentlez. No Jews or Negroes were allowed. One night three Jews bought tickets to the theatre. On their way in the usher stepped them and told them that no Jews were allowed. The next morning the Jews bought the theatre for two million dollars. That same night, replacing the Gentile ticket seller, was a Jewess, and when the show opened, with the assembling of the crowd, consisting mostly if not entirely of Gentiles, it was announced, to the surprise of all, that no Gentiles were admitted. In this instance the Jew did not go to court to settle his equal rights, as a delegation of Negroes did the other day by going to the President to advocate civil rights. The Jew put over the deal by unity. We are like sheep without a shepherd. Racial consciousness has made the Jew. If you insult one Jew you have insulted all. Insult one Negro and you haven't insulted anybody. I was in Vicksburg, Mississippi, not long ago, and a colored man took me to the place where I was stopping. On my way there I asked him how the colored people got along with the white people. He replied that he had been there thirteen years, running on the street, and nobody ever insulted him. He said that all you had to do was to know your place, and nobody would bother you. I asked him his place and he was dumfounded. He realized that his place was that of a sent-slave. Negro Feels Inferior The race has been discussing effects too long. They must study fundamentals. There is a reason why Negroes are separated and divided. It is because of conditions that have existed for nearly 400 years in this very land of ours. The Negro has been taunted, in the first place, that he is an inferior element. That has been his doctrine. He has been taught a psychology foreign to himself. Negroes feel that if they were white they could get along a great deal better. I have never seen the time yet that I wanted to be anything but a black man, and today, more than ever, the Negro ought to be proud of himself. Why you are the coming people. The Negro race is the coming race. The white man has given me ground for pessimism. Civilization has revolved back to its creation. The white man is destined for destruction because he has lost his moral virtue. The white man has committed more moral scandal among its social circles and the elite than Africa has. When you think of an episode like the bath tub, Fatty Arbuckle, Peaches Browning, it gives you an idea of what the white man's civilization has come to. The black man is coming back to build another civilization, purer than the one under which he now lives. But how is he going to do it? You can be nationally and internationally strong, as you are locally strong. We divide from each other in our own localities. We are not united because we are too selfish. It is characteristic of colored people to be like the crab, that is, if I cannot get out, you will not get out. If I cannot establish a grocery store, no Negro shall establish one. I watched the Jews and Italians in Pittsburgh and other large cities. A Jew will buy a house and live in the basement. He will rent out the rest of the house to anybody who wants it. The other Jews will help him and, in the end, everyone has his own house. When a Negro buys a home other Negroes knock him. The thing we need most is the spirit of co-operation in our local communities. No, we sit around and dream and complain. I have noticed in churches when people get up to give their testimonials that they invariably say something about coming up the rough side of the mountain. Has anybody ever come up on the smooth side?

It is because of the wrong psychology taught us that we are separated and divided. A Negro studies for a day. A white man studies for thousands of years. A white man says, "I have had a hard time, but my children will not have the experience that I had." He prepares to make it possible for the boys and girls of his own race to succeed. Negroes say, "Well, I had it hard in my day and you are not better than I am." Negroes have been taught to watch each other ever since slavery, and to report to the white man every morning. The black man is still reporting to the white man every morning. It has been the cause of numerous lynching: in the South. White psychology must give away and a racial psychology must take hold of us before we can do much as a race. Color of the face does not argue inferiority of race. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. There is as much power in the arm of a black man as there is in the arm of a white man. "Our people have misconstrued the aim of the U. N. L. A. Marcus Garvey has done more to consolidate the race in the past eight years than has been done since the existence of the Negro. The U. N. L. A. has brought us all back to the conclusion that we are all one common stock from one common lineage, and that stock is African. What race ever hated their Fatherland? The Jew teaches his children that Palestine is the most beautiful place on the earth, and that some day they will return to their Fatherland. The Irish do not despise Ireland. They polish with pride to the Emerald Island. Turn your eyes to the British. They are proud of their Fatherland but the Negro. The Negro desplays his Fatherland. Africa is the largest and richest continent of the world, yet Negroes desplays it. They refer to it as a dark continent. la Africa Dark? In what respect is Africa darker than any other country? Can you teachess of geography and what not help me? The thing that makes a country bright is the moral virtue of its inhabitants. The moral virtue and character of a country stand out impossibly. Negroes do not make research. They talk too much and investigate too little. We have not learned to keep records.

HUMANITY of color is gradually emerging from the backwardness of ages, and carefully preparing for the great tasks incidental to progress. Because of the handicaps and repression by the white race, the obstacles are multiplied and the difficulties that are placed in the way of the advance of color, hamper its progress. But the inner urge for liberty is the all-sustaining force that surmounts obstacles and breaks down barriers. It is folly to expect that the white race will voluntarily change its cruel attitude toward the darker races. Any appeal to their conscience or religious protestations is a waste of time. Materialism is the god they adore, to which they sacrifice precious lives, and the race that is silly enough to think it can fight materialism with spiritualism, is doomed to extermination. White people believe that the basis of individual and racial greatness lies in the acquisition of money, lands, and modern implements of protection. It matters not how it is acquired, as long as you have it you are rated a great man, a powerful nation, a superior race. If, perchance you do not keep up with the manufacture of modern implements of warfare and protection, you are disrated, and your booty becomes the prev of others. The darker peoples have been slow in discovering this standard, because their pale-faced brother's preachments are altogether different to his line of conduct. He says "Love thy neighbor as thyself," yet he is constantly and systematically robbing his neighbor, and would crush the life out of him if he does not throw his hands up. The powerful nations of the world are in truth a gang of international free-booters; they have grown wealthy from stealing other men's goods and the eighth commandment is applicable only to those who are unable to grab or protect their grab. It is purely a question of do as I say, but not as I do. The duty of the oppressed, therefore, is to know the mind of the oppressor, and pay him back in his own coin. The Negro cannot afford to demonstrate the "brotherhood of man" on earth, until he has extricated himself from slavery and oppression. He has spent years trying this method and failed. Prayers, petitions, appeals only evoke the contempt of the white race, who say inwardly, "Go travel the way I came, and light your way up to the top." No man should expect something for nothing, not in this age, the beggar is not respected; why, therefore, should we be a race of beggars? The road to liberty is a rocky one, and that is why we need faith in ourselves and grim determination. Some Negroes say they are willing to join the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but they are waiting until all the troubles are over, as they don't want to go to jail, and they don't want to be ostracized by some white folks. Well, they have a long wait ahead of them. They are of the type that come in when all the work is over, and join the shouting and say, "Look what we have done." Let us be serious with ourselves and about our future, and realize this, that the U. N. L. A. or any liberation or reform movement is bound to have troubles, because the oppressor is not going to sit quietly and allow his vicious system, out of which he grows fat, overthrown. He is bound to fight back, and in the most subtle manner. That is why leaders are framed up and imprisoned: organization officials bribed, and made to betray their trust; spies planted within the ranks and members are harassed. These opposition tactics should be expected, and the proper spirit maintained to offset them. When it is realized how precious is the goal, surely it is worth struggling for, sacrificing for and dying for, if needs be.

Lost Bread Recipe Found in Spain MALAGA, Spain, March 31. "lost bread" has been rediscovered in the recipes of an old monastery and now is all the rage as a table delicacy. It is a sort of filtrer with a cinnamon flavor. The old recipe is as follows: Cut ordinary white bread into fingers and pour over them the yolk of one egg beaten up in a glass of Malaga wine. Dip the soaked strips in beaten eggs and fry to a golden brown in deep boiling lard. Drain well and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Women Taxed According To Length of Skirts The Mayor of Almendralco, Spain is taxing all women according to the length of their skirts. A damsel showing only her ankle pass the minimum while those who wish to display calves or knees must pay more. No increase in the length of dresses has been noted and the town's coffers are filling. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1927 Scottish Councillors Refuse To Dine With King George Elaborate Ceremonies Waste of Money, They Assert GLASGOW.—The Socialist Councillors of Glasgow steadfastly refuse to eat with the King. And now the Labor Councillors holding official positions also have decided to join the Socialists and not break bread with King George when he comes here on July 12 to dedicate the Clyde Bridge, although it was built by trade unionists. The Socialist members of the Town Council object to the elaborate ceremonies connected with the King's visit, owing to the expenditure of public money for what they consider to be uncleasant purposes. A luncheon is to be held after the inauguration of the bridge, but when the question came up again before the Council, the Socialists, by a vote of 25 to 11, reaffirmed their decision that no member of the Socialist group should serve on the Corporation Arrangement Committee nor participate in any function associated with the royal visit. When news of the Socialists' vote reached London, the King's advisers urged him to abandon the trip, but he said that he had planned to attend and that he was going to carry out his plans, regardless of the stand of the Socialists and the attitude of his advisers. Queen Mary will accompany him. David Mason, Lord Provost, has appealed in vain for the Socialists to withdraw their ban. Accordingly, it is expected that he will arrange the luncheon as a port of private affair. The action of the Socialists recalls a similar incident a few years ago, when David Kirkwood, John Wheatley, Thomas Kerr and Baillie Dolan declined special invitations to meet the Prince of Wales at a dinner at Blythewood House. Opposition of this nature also developed on the occasion of visits of Princess Mary and the Duke of York to Glasgow. Nerve System Is Seat of Disease. Professor Claims LENINGRAD.—Professor Speransky who works in the laboratory of Academician Pavloff, has made an important discovery referring to the study of the causes of diseases of the organism. He introduced vaccines -anti-diphtheritic and anti-scarlet fever- into the brain of a sick organism, at the same time taking spinal liquid from the vertebral column. After performing experiments on animals, Professor Speransky inoculated into the brain of children suffering from a heavy form of scarlet fever anti-scarlatina vaccine in doses of from four to eight granules. These children recovered. Professor Speransky has come to the conclusion that the disease infecting the organism is always seated in the central nervous system. The admixture of local organs—lung, throat, stomach—is only the external manifestation of the nervous disease. Therefore the struggle against any disease must be directed into the domain of the nervous system and the brain. Birth Rate Falling In Great Britain LONDON, April 5.—Fewer babies are being born in England, according to the latest statistical returns, but those that are born are healthier. Birth statistics for the last quarter of 1926 show that 164,499 children were born during the quarter, a decrease of 10,413 over the previous quarter, and the lowest ever recorded except for the fourth quarter of 1917. The latest figure works out at a birth rate of 16.7 per 1,000 population. Infant mortality during the quarter was 70 per 1,000 registered births which was 9 per 1,000 below the average of the ten preceding fourth quarters. Further analysis of the statistics during the quarter show that 1,044 males were born to every 1,000 females. THE SOULS OF BLACK AND WHITE Aquah Laluah in the Atlantic Monthly The souls of black and white were made By the selfsame God of the selfsame shade. God made both pure, and He left one white; God laughed over the other, and wrapped it in night. Kald He, "I've a flower, and none can unfold it; I've a breath of great mystery, nothing can hold it. Spirit so illusive the wind cannot away it. A force of such might even death cannot slay it." But so that He might conceal its glow He wrapped it in darkness, that men might not know. Oh, the wonderful souls of both black and white Were made by one God, of one sod, on one night. NOTES OF INTEREST What Lack of Preparation Means "China shows the world what lack of preparation means. The little United States destroyer, Ford, fired on by a Chinese fort, easily "silenced that fort," putting it out of commission. Nobody hurt on the Ford, many hurt in the fort, probably, "but they were Chinamen." If China's revolutionists had three or four submarines, with torpedo tubes, and a dozen bombs dropping flying machines, there wouldn't be an American, European or Japanese warship in Chinese waters. Or if there were, it would be their turn to be "silenced."—Arthur Brishane. Tell It. Brother! There was a time when the average Negro would not reent in insult. The poison of slavery had sapped his marhood. He suffered from a real inferiority complex. The fear that was bred in the soul of his ancestors by the swish of a million lashes wielded by the slave drivers was transmitted to him. But the Negro is no longer the meek and humble individual of yore. Like the Chinaman he has developed guts. Like the Chinaman his exploiters have forced him to organize and fight back. When the Negroes organize their tremendous collective power the white morons in the south will stop lynching them and the white morons in the north will stop hurling insults at them.--T. J. O'Flaherty. Hunting Oil With Dynamite "By the new method, which is scientific and accurate, the prospector takes dynamite and detonates it on the surface of the ground. The earth shock created is registered on seismographs placed certain distances away. In the Gulf Coast Region oil is generally found under salt dome structures located beneath the surface and it is the aim of the prospector, by means of the dynamite and seismograph, to locate these salt domes. "This is possible because the difference in density between the salt dome and the overlying alluvial deposits is great enough to refract the shock waves when they strike the denser substance at the moment of the dynamite blast. The results recorded by the seismographs reveal the denser underlying structure and indicate accurately just where the dome is."—The Hercules Mixer. Light, Science, Education Fortunately for the world, the sources of light can never be destroyed. The printing press furnishes the scorching light of publicity. Mean-beat, corruption, immorality, political dishonesty, are withered by it. The sun, scientists tell us, has strength enough to last hundreds of millions of years more, and will continue to supply our earth with the light that gives life and health and destroys disease. The public school, greatest institution established on earth by the wisdom of man for the benefit of the human race, will continue to spread the light of knowledge, making of the educated mind a light unto itself. The light of science, separating truth from falsehood, making superstition ridiculous, wiping out childish fears, supplying men's physical needs, destroying their superstitious enemies, pushes civilization steadily forward.—New York American.

For information write to DEPARTMENT RO WORLD 90th Street PARK CITY Why a Double Standard of Morality? By MRG WALTER FERGUSON An silent reformer points to the decadence of the times with this statement: "A loose girl of the nineteen was shunned. Today unlucky women often become quite respectable members of society." And why not? Are we to build a barrier between good and bad women and not between good and bad men? Men are generally grouped into various classes with regard to their wickedness. Bad men may be thieves or larks or murderers. Bad women are always those who have lost their virtue. Two entirely different constructions upon the same word. The time never was when a man could not live a loose life and get by with it. Even though his morals are coal black where women are concerned, if he have money and a charming personality he is welcomed into the most exclusive of homes. Prominent men do not shun him. Good men do not snul him. Neither his business nor his social status is undermined. This being the case, why discriminate against women? It is not a sign of the decadence of the times that we look with more lenency upon a woman who has had an unfortunate past. It is proof that we are improving. It is unfair to have two different standards for women and men. The very fact that the Magdalens of this world can sometimes climb the awful mountain of respectability is one of the best evidences of our moral growth. Whether, with women becoming less careful of their conduct, the whole moral structure of society may be weakened is neither here nor there. If both men and women cannot be judged by one standard of right and wrong, then we may as well admit that our social fabric is awry. The point is that there is no sense in having the women chaste if the men are going to be otherwise. You can never have a good world with one sex moral and the other immoral. Obviously the thing to have done was to purify the men, making them as virtuous as those dames of the nineties. That being impossible there seems no good reason why almost any old kind of a woman may not become a respectable member of society—society being mostly composed of men who are far from apotexes. Is It Contempt to Powder in Court? What's this? A New York judge threatening to fine a woman ten dollars for contempt of court in that she powdered her face and used her lipstick in his august present? Surely this is judicial intolerance and old-fashioned carned to the limit. Where does this wearer of theermine live? Not in New York city, surely, else he would see women powdering their noses in subways, in elevators, in the theaters, at table in the restaurants, on the streets—all over, in short. The secrets of the toilet are everywhere as openly revealed as are the flappers' knees. Does not the judge realize that customs change? It is not merely that youth is having its fling and desire self-expression in cosmetics as well as other things at its own time and its own place; even the mothers and grandmothers use their powder puffs indiscriminately. Who shall cry hard taste and worse manners in the face of this new and truth-telling frankness? Manners have been outgrown, and so has concealment of the method of creating blush or pallor. Why not turn the tables on the judge by getting a permanent injunction from one of his brothers of the bench to keep him from interfering with the right of any citizen to beautify himself or herself in the courtroom or anywhere else.—The Nation.

GENERATE JOY IN YOUR OWN HEART The longer I live the more I realize that perfect happiness and the fullness of contentment can come only from within our elves. We must learn to generate it in our hearts and minds, and only then can we detach ourselves from the thousand and one smallnesses which mawa us "earthbound." To seek, to love and to understand the beautiful comes very close to representing a complete formular for the achievement of happiness. And the desire and appreciation of lovely things must be awakened in the child almost from the cradle days. I have often thought that a little concentrated, effort on the part of mothers of little children would reap a harvest rich beyond comprehension. It is strange, but true, that the appreciation of beauty must always be a silent one. A lovely unset, a throbbing chord of music, a beautiful poem—they can be shared with the multitude, provided they be shared silently. That is why the real lovers of art and music are deeply silent in the presence of the masters. In Continental Europe you will find an easy familiarity with the classics. The stories of the greatest painters, composers, sculptors, literary geniuses are as well known over there as are the stories of Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt over here. There are thousands of anecdotes which keep alive the knowledge and the memories of our soldiers and our statesmen; but what do our children know of Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Cellini, Michael Angelo? Something in general, perhaps, but very little in particular. Yet here is a genius that knows no country, a greatness that belongs to the world. Let's discard the notion that muslins are merely an "extra" to be tacked on to the educational fund. Tell your children some of the wonderful stories that will put into words the poetry of thought that flowed from the fingers of some immortal. There are wonderful phonograph records that will teach the children all that there is to know about exquisite harmony. But cover every step of the way with knowledge, so that your appreciation will be the appreciation of an understanding response. Do you know how Mendelssohn came to write the "Spring Song," Do you know that the Wedding March to whose strains you, too, have perhaps found the way to happiness was the finale of a delicate, pastoral, love affair which he witnessed and immortalized? Have you pictured Beethoven at the piano, composing the Moonlight Sonata to a rapt audience of a little girl and her adoring father?

Ghayanee of Hindustan Gadar Party Holds Packed Audience Spellbound at Inter-Racial Meeting The much hallowed mass meeting of the Oakland Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that was assembled at the new Colored Elks' Home, Sunday afternoon, April 17, was a record breaker for local attendance. Persons from every district in Oakland and suburban counties were attracted to this hall with the expectation of learning something of the attitude of other races similarly oppressed to the program of African nationalism. Passenger machines of every description surrounded the block facing the meeting place. They came on foot, street cars and otherwise to get the news. Our meeting was intended to have included speakers from the Nationalist Party of China, but, on account of the scarcity of competent interpreters, our invited guest was unable to appear. A future meeting will be held, however, when the attitude of the Chinese Nationalist Party to the U. N. I. A. will be definitely explained. Many significant happenings have visited their appreciation of our interest and sympathy. The recent celebration of the capture of Shanghai was enthusiastically staged by the Oakland branch of the Kou-Min-Tang. The writer was extended a special invitation to attend this meeting, at which an opportunity was given to express the kinship of the African Nationalist movement, under the direction of Hon. Marcus Garvey, to the Chinese Nationalist movement under the spiritual direction of the late Dr. Sun Yat-Sen. At the conclusion of the brief address an invitation was again offered the writer to attend a banquet held that evening at the Pekin Cafe in further celebration of the victory. Incidentally, the invitation was accepted, and a very electable repast was served and heartily appreciated. Hospitality and courtesy are outstanding virtues of the Chinese people. Notwithstanding the fact that the gathering present Sunday afternoon was hoping to see and hear a Chinese representative, the address delivered by Dr. Ghayahce was warmly applauded, and, judging from the comment and radiant expressions, proved satisfactory and sufficient. Dr. Ghayahce is a gifted speaker, having traveled extensively and studied the conditions of many racial groups. A glowing tribute was paid our leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, and our emotions were stirred when the speaker lauded his incomparable worth to the Negro. ARTHUR S. GRAY, Reporter.

Ideal weather prevailed and a large gathering of members and friends were on hand for the festivities. Liberty Hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion. A cross bearing the colors of the Red, Black and Green graced the postrum. Our most unfortunate members were remembered and by way of cheering and comforting them, three baskets of delicious foods and fruits were taken to three of them interned in the city home at Mayview. Mrs. Elizabeth White, Mrs. Carrie Medley (nurses) and Mr. William Formly of the trustee board made up the delegation. The Juvenile class met with the superintendent, Mr. Edward Peterson, at 10 a.m. Several visitors were present and took a lively part in the discussions at 3 p.m. in a galaxy of songs, recitations and duets.

DETROIT, MICHIGAN The meetings held under the auspices of the Detroit Division from April 5 to 8 for Sir Levi Lord, Chancellor and Executive Officer of the Parent Body, were favorably successful. Sir Levy well entertained his audience each night with his gripping oratorical ability and comprehensive logic. There were many prominent speakers who appeared on the program throughout the week, among whom were judge Charles Bowles and Attorney Morrils Sugar, both white, who spoke very favorably of the U. N. I. A.. its alms and accomplishments. We also had Dr. J. M. Gregory, Dr. Rainwater and Attorney J. Milton Vanlove as participants in the program. The mass meeting on April 10 was an unusual one. Hon. J. A. Craigen, our executive secretary, who just returned from his visit through the Southern States and Nassau, British West Indies, and to see Hon. Marcus Garvey, filled the audience with new inspiration and courage to forge ahead when he related to them the appalling conditions prevalent in every section of this continent and what he saw and heard while on his tour. He stated that conditions are almost the same everywhere, as far as it affects the Negro. The program was very entertaining and educational. He spoke afternoon and evening. The other participants were, as usual, filled with enthusiasm. April 17 was Easter Sunday. The president stated that since it was the day on which Christ arose from the dead he decided to make it an extraordinary affair for the Detroit Division. He especially arranged a program and called it "Garvey's Day." There was a rosette rally which was very successful. A splendid paper was read by Mrs. Mary L. Ford. Hon. J. A. Craigen, executive secretary, and Hon. L. D. V. Smith, the president, were the main speakers. Both were wonderful and filled with historical and educational information, and in conjunction therewith this day was also the formal opening of a strenuous membership campaign drive. Several new members were taken in. The Sunday school, under the supervision of the chaplain, Rev. R. L. Harrison, held religious services in the morning, which also had a large attendance, and the juveniles and Sunday school together carried out the night's program. There was much fun in the children finding hidden eggs. At the close of the meeting the president announced the sending of a special telegram to the President of the United States asking for Mr. Garvey's pardon without deportation. PORTO BARRIOS, C. A.

Island, A. Shaw and D. Powell, Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Huntley rendered a lovely duet entitled "Never Be Sad Nor Dependent," which received great applause. The choir also rendered many beautiful anthems. The roof of the hall was almost shaken from the great applause when the president announced that a late report states that President Coolidge is giving the release of Marcus Garvey very serious consideration. At this point the president made his closing address and the meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the National Anthem. YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO Youngatown Division No. 123 is still talking about the great mass meeting it enjoyed on April 4, the occasion of the visit of Hon. S. A. Haynes. The program was short and entertaining. Bishop J. D. Barber acted as master of ceremonies in his masterly way and also conducted the financial rally with his usual success. He introduced Mr. E. S. Seller, who made a attiring address of welcome, which was responded to by our loyal friend, Mr. W. H. Atkinson, Mrs. Ada Mae Pless then recited a very appropriate original poem. The master of ceremonies then introduced the speaker of the occasion, Hon. S. A. Haynes, who spoke very convincingly on "African Nationalism." After the program, a nice repast, prepared under the direction of Mrs. Ada Pless, was served free. It was a treat de Jause. Atogether, Division No. 123 had not witnessed such a turn- out in many a day. We trust Mr. Haynes will come again with a kind message to help wake up the Jonahs who are yet asleep on our racial ship.

Los rigores de la prisión afectan la salud de nuestro presidente general Los miembros de esta organización universalmente, se apesadumbrarán al tener conocimiento de la reciente enfermedad del Hom. Marcus Garvey, quien ha sido llevado al hospital de la prisión padeciendo de un ataque de gripe, combinado este con el asma de que ha sufrido por algún tiempo y que agfavan los rigores de la prisión. Nuestra contribución a la civilización redundara en respeto y consideración a la raza—Razon para la constitución de una nacion africana—Continuemos la lucha emprendida en pro de nuestro enaltecimiento Nuestro presidente general ha dejado demostrada su conformidad y ha sido un prisonero modelo. El nos ha presentado un esplendido ejemplo de paciencia y resignación, pero los miembros no deben pensar en que todo marcha a la medida del deseo, por el hecho de que su leader es un valeroso resignado. El progreso del hombre es juzgado por lo que este haya realizado. El mundo juzga a las razas y a los individuos por sus hechos en el camino de dicho progreso. la civilización contemporanea es muy exasta; ella divide a las razas y a las naciones en dos grupos. El grupo progresista es altamente reconocido y respetado; el otro gupo es ignorado, odiado y en la mayoría de los casos repelido. En este grupo ocupa el negro un puesto sobresaliente. ¿Y porque? Preguntamos nosotros, a lo cual el mundo responde: Porque el negro aun nada en concerto ha realizado. Si bien es verdad que los miembros no pueden dar a su leader salud y libertad, pero pueden facilmente ayudarle a conservar su salud cooperando con todo aquello a su alcance, en la realización de la gigantesca empresa en que estamos interesados, guiando los multiples asuntos del movimiento por camino recto y así librar su mente de toda intranquilidad. La organización afronta al presente una de las mas grandes dificultades en su historia; esto es, el conservar el templo del garveismo, el Liberty Hall de Nueva York, de modo que permanezca como propiedad exclusiva de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, un monumento al distinguido fundador de la organización y a los principios que ella sustenta. ¿Que podría contribuir más a la mejora del gran leader como su conocimiento de que el Liberty Hall esta salvo de toda sombra de duda, porque los miembros han respondido a la llamada de salvación? Podemos admitir el que una raza se regocje en la creencia de un ilimitado amor fraternal; pero cuando consideramos seriamente el problema de la humanidad, basado en el materialismo del presente, llegamos a la conclusión de que tal hermandad no es reconocida ni respetada, a menos que ella no represente adelanto. El negro es estirado y encogido universalmente, porque progresivamente nada representa; porque su contribución a la civilización moderna es prácticamente nula. Compenetrada de ello, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra adopta el alto ideal del establecimiento de una nación prepotetnte de la raza, la cual fortifique la estructura de nuestro progreso y afianze sólidamente nuestro provenir. La tercera petición en pro de la libertad de nuestro presidente general, esta ya en manos del Departamento de Justicia. Nosotros no podemos libertarle, pero podemos enviar peticiones continuas a aquellos que tienen tal poder. De otro modo ellos considerarian nuestro silencio como indiferencia. Mientras el negro no haga tal contribución a la actual civilización, mientras no demuestre adelanto en su línea independiente de progreso, no podrá elevarse en la apreciación del mundo a un nivel mas alto del que ocupa en la época presente. El negro vanidoso podrá decir: Yo estoy educado, yo represento la nota mas alta en inteligencia, yo soy graduado de los mejores colegios y universidades de Europa y de America. El financiero orgulloso de la raza podrá decir: ¿Conqué autoridad se dice que no represento progreso, cuando mis instituciones bancarias giran contantos millones de pesos? Generalmente el negro podrá decir: Tengo mi hogar, he procreado una familia, tengo tantos pesos en el banco; quién dice que no he progresado? Y a todo esto nuestra organización responde : Todo progreso que el negro haya hecho, toda posición que el negro se haya conquistado, estan sujetos el uno y la otra a la censura del mas fuerte, toda vez que dicho progreso y dicha posición no esten respaldados por un poder constituo. Nuestra raza requiere verdadera direccion; la clase de direccion que el Hom. Marcus Garvey tan valiente y desinteresadamente provee. Aquellos de nosotros que profesemos SCIENTISTS FIND TOMB OLDEST IN EGYPT Underground Crypt Believed to Be That of Man Who Founded Science of Medicine 5,000 Years Ago CAIRO. Egypt, March 31.—Discovery of a tomb estimated to be fifty centuries old, dating back to the Third Dynasty of the Ancient Pharaohs, was announced today. Experts say it may be the earliest tomb ever found in Egypt. The find was made by Cecil Firth, who has been conducting excavations in behalf of the Antiquities Department of the Egyption Government, at Sakkara, a village near the ruins of Memphis. Near Sakkara is the famous step pyramid, believed to be the oldest of the Egyption pyramids. Nuestro elemento vive superficialmente; el usa y consume aquello que el otro le ha facilitado para su comodidad y para satisfacer sus propios deseos. Siempre que continuemos pidiendo prestado el vestido que haya de cubrir nuestro cuerpo, estaremos expuestos a la intemperie pues este tarde o temprano se nos será quitado, y si no queremos experimentar tal desagrado tendremos que proporcionarnos nuestro propio vestido. Tal actuación de parte de nuestro elemento es la causa por la cual, tanto la raza blanca como las demás razas, le tengan postergado v por ende se le guarde tan poca consideración, utilizándoseel como el blanco donde se descarga todo escarnio, toda intriga y toda avejación. The tomb is located on the boundary wall surrounding the step pyramid, and was discovered only after a long and difficult search, owing to the extensive precautions taken by the builder to conceal it. It is thought, but not yet established, that it is the burial place of Imhotep, architect to King Zoser, who built the step pyramid. Imhotep was greatly revered by the ancients, being considered one of the wisest of men and founder of the science of medicine, the law and other branches of learning. Todo pueblo, toda raza tiene su propia cultura, tiene su propia civilización, llámese chino ó japonés; ya se encuentre establecido en Europa ó en Asia. El oriental se halla altamente satisfecho con su túnica, su sombrero de paños torcidos y sus vestidos flotantes; sus ideales le hacen feliz. El hombre blanco goza de satisfacción con sus trajes a la última moda; se vanagloria con su prosición adquirida por medio de la conquista. El negro se conforma con su desnudez; la decepción le agobia debido ésta a la poca ejercitud y buen uso de su poder, como unidad factible de la gran familia humana. A deep stairway of 100 steps leads down through an obscure tunnel in the rock. Branch tunnels and stairways lead to a series of underground rooms, the walls of which once were blue tiled like the rooms in the step pyramid. The rooms still bear the remains of interesting limestone reliefs and decorations of the period, including the portrait of King Zoser. In one tunnel, twelve magnificent alabaster wine jars were discovered.

S., April 4.—Death today had closed the career of Hugh MacDonald, 97-year-old native of Pictou county, one of that band of artisans who, with scaled lips and anxious hopes, welded and riveted together the first armored ship of war—the Monitor, of United States Civil War fame. MacDonald's parents were among the first Scottish immigrants to Pictou county, and when he became of age he went to the United States, where he acquired skill as a workman in steamship and locomotive building in the Dearborn & Lawdon Works at Dorchester, Mass. The Civil War found MacDonald among those chosen by the Northern forces to work on the construction of the Monitor, the secret of which was being closely guarded. In his latter years he often told of his experience and of his pride in the fact that when the Monitor met the Merriman the highest hopes of her builders were fulfilled. Police of Berlin To Curb Mashing BERLIN.—Berlin men do not seem to behave. Showered by complaints of women that men in Berlin streets are "pretty fresh," the police president has deemed it necessary to recall to his forces a regulation prohibiting men to address women in public. Offenders against this regulation are liable to be penalized with $35 or may be sentenced to a fortnight's imprisonment. However, since the regulation has been ordered to be strictly enforced, the number of offenses decreased considerably, says the president. Some papers commenting on the regulation believe that the order for enforcement is the result of American modelled puritanism. Immigrants to the United States will be shown Department of Agriculture film productions at ports of entry, acquainting them with American history, geography and agricultural methods. Magazine Section Mr.J.A.Rogers, Well-Known Author and Journalist, Describes Incidents of Travel On Tour of European Lands Mr.J.A.Rogers, Well-Known Author and Journalist, Describes Incidents of Travel On Tour of European Lands Written for The Negro World By J. A. ROGERS There are so many interesting places in Rome that it will be possible to touch barely on a few in this concluding article. From a historical standpoint the most interesting spot is, of course, the Foro Romano, an enclosure of perhaps not less than a hundred acres, the heart of the old Roman Empire. Approaching the Foro Romane, the first point of interest will be the Carcere Mamertine, or Mamertine Prison, where the Apostles Paul and Peter were placed by order of Nero. It is a glorious, underground dungeon entirely of stone, with barely enough room in the cells to stand erect. No one could complain of coddling prisoners in those days. Entering the Foro Romano, which is open free on Sundays and holidays, one sees a vast mass of broken columns strewing the ground, with a few forlorn ones still standing, sometimes held together by bands of metal and gigantic masses of brickwork. All of this, it must be explained, is not the handwork of time, but that of man, who broke down these buildings in order to get the rare Numidian marble. The Goths and Vandals, it will also be recalled, descended on Rome, smashing everything they could find and giving us the word "vandallam." In this place were no less than a dozen great temples, among them that of Saturn, where the treasures were kept; that of the Empress Faustina, with her name still on the horizontal carving; that of the famous warlike twins, Castor and Pollux; that of Janus, with its double face of Peace and War, giving us the word "Janus-faced," or hypocrite; that of the Vestal Virginia, who kept the sacred fires of Rome burning incessantly for more than a thousand years; that of the Empress Julina, on the steps of which the body of Julius Caesar was burned after Anthony's famous oration; while mightiest of all is that of Venus, part of which was later turned into a Christian church and is still standing. One feels quite a thrill when he recalls that on this same spot once trod Augustus Caesar, who, dead and turned to clay, will stop a hole to keep the wind away; the Harlot-Empress, Messalina; Pompey and Cataline, and Cleero, and all the rest. In the hollow at the foot of the hill is the remains of the Forum in which they all hold forth. An interesting place nearby, on the outside, is the old Jewish Ghetto, a word meaning cut-off, and the fore-runner of all ghettoes. It began its existence about 20 B.C., when Pompey brought the first Jewish captives to Rome, and lasted until 1850 A.D. Less than seventeen years later, however, the Jews had become a power to be reckoned with, as in the case of the Negro, who, forty-five years after his destitute entry into Virginia, found himself faced with a law prohibiting his buying white people. (See Honing's Statutes of Virginia, Vol. 2.) On the hill is the Palatine, one of the famous Seven Hills, adorned by the palaces of the Caecars, now denuded of their costly marble and but great cliffs of brick from which one may get a fine view of the city. The gardens are still there, with orange trees laden with ripe fruit. Descending again, one finds himself among arches of brick so lofty and spacious that when the Christians came into power they used the space as churches, many of which still bear their decorations. In the vicinity is the Coliseum, so grizzled with age that it hardly seems to be the handwork of man. This structure, which is almost half a mile in circumference, was competed in so A. D. by the Emperor Titus, and took the labor of thirty thousand slaves, who were all freed. The Coliseum was opened with a performance lasting one hundred days, during which several thousand gladiators and wild animals tore one another to pieces. Readers of "Quo Vadis" will also recall how the Christians were thrown to the lions in the great arena, now but long sections of masonry with great holes between. One feels like going into Ingersollian rhapsodies on seeing the Coliseum, for on the spot on which raged such barbarity and bloodshed are now parties of tourists and children playing hopscotch. Much of the Coliseum, like that of the buildings in the Foro Romano, was also despolled to furnish materials for other buildings. Considerable restoration has been done by one or two of the Popes. Not far from the Coliseum are the Baths of Caracalla, a structure hardly less imposing than the Coliseum. This bath, which could accommodate more than a thousand persons at once, was also a cultural center, with libraries and art galleries. In several of the pools may still be seen the hot-water pipes and the beautiful mosaic. This bath is but one of many. Bathing weat out of favor, however, with the Christian regime, and seems to be still out of favor in Catholic Europe, broadly speaking. Many of the early salina prided themselves on the fact that they never bathed, hence the phrase "odor of sanctity." In this vicinity—Via Cerchi (Circus street)—are the rules of the Circus Mazimus, where the Romans hold their athletic games. The stadium accommodated 100,000 persons—almost four times as many as the Coliseum. These old Romans certainly built with a robustness and vastness of corruption beyond modern man, but it must be resplified that they had the example of the Greeks, who in turn had that of the Egyptians and Ethiopians. GREAT MASS MEETING AT TURNER HALL 1418 Sherman Street, Detroit, under the auspices of THE DETROIT, MICH., DIVISION OF THE U. N. I. A., ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 8 at 2 o'Clock, when JUDGE NICHOLAS KLEIN, of Cincinnati, will be the principal speaker MISS CELESTE COLE, Popular Coloratura Soprano, will entertain with several new numbers ALL ARE INVITED Reserve Seats, 75c. One could go on to write of such interesting places as the old Aqueducts, the Imperial Foren, the Paatheon, the Doria Palace, the Villa Borghese of San Mefano, the Ethiopian Church built in 450 A. D.; the American Academy, the Rocca di Papa, or Pope's Rock; of Frascati, the suburb in which Cicero lived, and the palace of the Vatican, where the Pope lives, hence space must be reserved for mention of two of the leading ones—the Catacombs of San Callisto and the Vatican Library. The first is to be found on the famed Applan Way, about two miles from the city. Here was one of the cemeteries of Rome, which was later used by the Christians as secret places of worship. These Catacombs are thirty-two acres in extent, twelve miles in length, and are in three stories, the first of which is forty feet underground. Almost all of the tombs were riffled by the Vandals. The place is now under the care of the Trappist monks. One of them, with his shaven crown, long, flowing robe and sandals, took us below after giving each of the party a candle. Unfortunately, I saw little of the place as I chose the English-speaking group in which were several American belles who asked to be taken out after they had seen but a small part of it. "Oh! said one of them to the guide, "we'd better go out now. I guess the rest of the place is just like this." Visiting these historic places is like taking medicine to many of the American tourists, who'd much rather be in a Montmartre cabaret, but come because when they return home they will be able to say they had visited these places. For the early Christians it was quite a victory—from hunted beings in these gloomy vaults to the rulership of Home. Peter's vision of a world empire ruled by Christianity had won. As many of the buildings in England have curved on them the name of the king, so here most of the older buildings bear the name of the reigning Pope, who in the earliest stages were as much thought of by the populace as the pastor of some two by four colored church is now. But these leaders were usually men of vision and not afraid to die for their cause. The martyrced bodies of several of them once laid in these vaults. Well, there were no fat salaries attached to leadership those days. The Vatican Library is perhaps the largest repository of art treasures in the world, and one walks through what must be miles and miles of rooms so filled with them that it is most difficult to fix one's attention on any one object. Nevertheless one must be arrested by the paintings of Raphael in the rooms that bear his name; the Sistine Chapel, with Michael Angelo's famous painting, "The Last Judgment"; the thousands of books with signatures sent to the Pope from America and all parts of the world, one of which is said to contain the names of 33,000 French persons who declare themselves "ready to suffer and die for the faith" and Nero's tub tub, which is big enough for five persons. Of especial interest to me was the Egyptian Room, with one of the finest collection of Egyptian art and statuary in existence. This reminds me to say that if the busts of certain persons known as Negroes in America were to be made and placed besides some of those of the Caesars in the galleries here, particularly that of Septimius Severus and Caracalla also—well, the inference is obvious. For as far back as one can go in history Europe and Africa have been meeting and mating along these shores. Besides, the noble Roman ladies were particularly fond of the Negro gladiators and others, as see the famous Sixth Satire of Juvenal, who lived in 80 A. D. My next article will be from Florence, in which I will also say something of Muscalini and of the everyday life of the Italians.

Christian, Denish King, Sweaha Six Language CANNES, France, April 6-13 Christian of Denmark is one of the most polygist of all European nations. He speaks six languages and has a smattering of others. On his visit to the Rivian, therefore, he not only enjoyed the sun but the linguistic opportunities as well. One morning leaving his hotel by automobile, the King was surrounded by bell boys and porters and others, the monarch speaking French to some, English to others and Danish to his chauffeur. Accompanying the royal party was a Spanish with whom His Majesty conversed, and later they met a party from Switzerland, all of whom spoke German. The King visits the casino every evening or so, but he does not gamble. Chinese Alone Immune The Chinese alone among cultured people are immune to stammering, according to Benjamin N. Bogue of Indianapolis, Ind., president or an institute for stammerers. He further says: "In ordinary conversation these Chinese use 4,000 monosyllable words and employ four sets of tones besides to increase their vocabulary. In English speech the average man uses less than 2,000 words with no tonal change. Stuttering is peculiarly the malady of culture, unknown to savage tribes and races. American Indians are entirely immune to both stuttering and stammering." The Negro "In It" You may talk about the Negro. You may name his faults infinite. But you cannot turn a wheel That a Negro isn't in it. You may block his civil rights. You may say you are "again it"; But before you turn around. Some sharp Negro will be in it. You may build your Chinese walls. You may plan for every minute; But with all your wily schemes. Some few Negroes will be in it. You may form your "Lilly Whites." You may kill your bear and skin it; When the pie is passed around. Some shrewd Negro will be in it. Be it high, or be it low, From the cook pot to the senate. There is not a place on earth, That a Negro isn't in it. So my friend, just stop your folly, Draw this thought out new, and spin it. God intends from first to last, That a Negro must be in it. You may try the plan of Pharaoh. Kill the race out, try to thin it; When the census rolls are called, Negroes always will be in it. If you keep on with your lynching. Take this thought down now and pin it: When you reach the shore of shores, You will find some Negroes in it. You may reach the land Beulah, If perchance you oer should win it? Don't you emigrate, my brother, When you see some Negroes in it. J. C. McAdams, East Tennessee News. STOP WORRY! School of Natural Science is open to all. Mail course obtainable.

A, ON THE PEOPLE'S FORUM March 27, 1927, will never be forgotten by the faithful few of Preston, Oriente, Cuba. We traveled for several miles to hear and see a most distinguished visitor from the high executive council, in the person of Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, fourth assistant president general, explain the aims and object of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Community League in a most forceful way. The gathering cheered to the top of their voices at the mentioning or calling of the name of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. One could see the spirit that finds its way deep into the hearts of the Negro. We traveled from Preston on railroad passenger car, by foot and by automobile to and from Queto Division. The women among us, numbering about eight, were exceptionally brave. In the dark of the night they go faithfully on. This is enough to prove to the world that the keeping of our leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, in an Atlanta penitentiary is useless, as there are many other Garveya at large. I am the father of three young Garveya who, as he is termed dangerous, may be more dangerous than the old Garvey. In the name of God, the Father of all mankind and justice, we, the new Negroes, especially these true eight Negro women who traveled with us so gallantly to the late hour of 2 a.m. are praying for the early release of our most esteemed leader, the God-sent man of the hour. To the present administration let me extend by heartfelt thanks and congratulations for the noble work you have accomplished in the past and that you are now engaged in. My appeal to you is to carry on until we have succeeded in giving to the world a united African empire on which the sun will never set. B. HYTTON. Preston, Oriente, Cuba. As it was in the days of Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the United States of America, when four billion slaves were set free by one stroke of his pen, so could it be in the days of President Coolidge, whose opportunities exceed those of the sixteenth President, when millions of people are mental slaves and their born leader, Marcus Garvey, is locked up in a cold prison cell for no good reason. The wicked have never in the history of the world believed in a rightful cause, and never will. The only crime Mr. Garvey committed against them, he stole ignorance from his own people and caused them to awake from their long sleep to race consciousness. Who will say that Garvey did wrong? None but the wicked. Mr. Garvey heard the cry: "America for the American people," "Europe for the European people," "Asia for the Asiatics," and he said, "Africa for the African people at home and abroad." Now, if Mr. Garvey was wrong, then the others were wrong. Marcus Garvey advocates right, righteousness and justice to all people, whether they be white, yellow, brown or black. He is asking at this time a square deal for his people, a chance SHAVE WITHOUT A RAZOR Just put on Magic Shaving Powder and then the hair will wash off quicker and clearer than any tapered shampoo you use.

The wicked only. President Lincoln, by his contribution to civilization, erected for himself a living monument upon which the sun will never set. At this hour, while the nations are in a state of unrest and facing from every angle one of the bloodiest wars that the world has ever known. President Coolidge has his opportunity to do more than Lincoln, and save the world from being drenched in blood. Mr. Garvey is now on the third year of the five-year sentence imposed upon him by the Federal Court of New York for misuse of the ball. That end of justice has been well served. Mr. Garvey will certainly do more good of prison than in prison. He is needed at his post of duty to help make the world a safe place in which to live. Everybody knows the trap to imprison him was set by a gang of wicked Negroes. They resulted to this plan, after all others had failed, to get rid of the man who was opposing their wickedness. This group of Negro traitors are wicked as Judas, who betrayed Christ, and the wicked Haman, who wanted all the Jews destroyed. They, too, should hung fifty cubits high, as are dangerous to the peace and harmony of the government as an attacking cancer at the heart. Marcus Garvey should be set free and hidden godsend to preach the gospel of his conviction. Mr. Garvey is in the class with the best of all races and has established for himself a living monument upon which the sun will never set. A righteous cause cannot die. J. BAXTER LOGAN. Boley, Oklahoma. Negro Equal to Any Other Race To the Editor of The Negro World: After following closely the gross atrocities and disadvantages which had been and are being meted out to the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the Negro himself, the actions have taken me quite back to 1927 years ago when Christ's mighty works started to demand the attention of the public, and the people asked, "Can any good come out of Nazareth?" Let me ask the men and women of my race "Can any good come out of the U. X. L. A." After making a retrospective scrutinisation of the leading governments of today, we find some of them coming from a stage where they used to live in caves and cat worms, etc, and were not good enough to be slaves; but today, what do we see? We see them with their British Empire and their Union Jack. We see them with their great United States of America and their Stars and Stripes. We see them with their French government and their tri-colors. If these achievements by these peoples are worth classing among the good things, then we have to admit that good things can come out of the U. X. L. A. for the Universal Negro Improvement Association is pursuing the same course which they have purged. At the same time don't forget that we as women must endeavor, to the best of our ability, to uphold and improve the integrity and respectability of the race. What others have done we can do also. MRS. E. Z ISLAND Moren, Cuba THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1957 (Continued from page 2) unity of the human race, and understand that true nationalism is not any more incompatible with her antagonize to true internationalism than as true family life antagonize to the best interests of the state. Now, rather must one say that nationalism is the handmaid of internationalism, just as true family life is the handmaid of good social order in the state. Stability and progress can never be secured if we rule our lives by compromise and decide questions on the grounds of expediency. Just as self-interest is an impossible code in true family life, so is it equally impossible in the family of nations. It always acts as a solvent upon much that is good and inevitably leads to conflict. The nations must learn to co-operate one with the other and thus understand that it is a fundamental truth that both sales profit in any business agreement honestly carried out on this basis. International political antagonism will only disappear when politicians come to realize that man everywhere is made in the image of God, and although this image is sometimes very much obscured by his deprivacy and degradation—though he it remembered it can never be obscured by the color of the skin—he can no more afford to neglect these infant and deprived members of the family of man than England could afford to neglect her masses. This country stands where she does today because, led by the Church of Christ, she attended to the needs of the common people and thus endeavored to build "Jerusalem in England's green and pleasant land." Humanity will not come into its own until this same principle is adopted in international politics and purpose, and is directed to build the "City of God." The next factor in this, race problem to which I would draw your attention is the economic factor. This is the instigator of most, if not all, our wars. Europe in the three of economic difficulties entered upon a war in which she not only slew ten millions of the flower of her Continent, but also considerably aggravated those difficulties. Oh! The madness of it. South Africans obsessed by the fear of an economic avalanche from the natives in whose countries they find themselves, have adopted measures which have not only put them in a much worse position owing to the creation of an ever Growing Army of "Poor Whites" but which are also calculated to stim- The Irritable Patrese Dairl D'amour "LOVES DESIRE" The master's alluring smile fills the room and the few people and humble sisters all surreverently stalk the room.

Y. AFRICA state most effectively the growth and development of the oppressed race under such conditions as must result in the fomenting of the spirit of revenge. "No strong edifice of national security and prosperity can possibly be built upon such foundations." On February 4th the "Times" closed its leading article, which was entitled "The Greatest African Problem," with this sentence: "Fortunately there have been signs this week that the discussion will be not only responsible but enlightened enough to know that mere fears for the white man's future make bad counsellors." America, which started with its magnificent charter of liberty, the declaration of Independence in which she laid down the following fundamental axiom: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain mallocable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, drawing their just powers from the consent of the governed." America, I say, in spite of this, has been out for herself a problem of no mean dimensions by delicately clashing her eyes to the implications of her own charter and thus attempting to stop the processes of nature and to keep down the black man whom she herself placed there. Forgetting, to quote Booker T. Washington, "That you cannot keep a black man down in the gutter without keeping yourself there sign." "Can the African Believe You?" Is it some travesty of, or is it the true family spirit with all the love and sacrifice it entails that we exhibit toward the infant races of the world? Can the African really believe that you regard him as a brother when he comes into your midst? What is to be your attitude toward the Chinese literati, the educated Hindu, the highly civilized Japanese? Are the European Nations forever to face one another in a state of war? Will they never realize that the Assyrian is destined to fall "by no heroes' sword" and to be "destroyed but by no mortal blade?" How are we to treat the weak members of this family of nations? Is it our intention to rule them with the edge of the sword or do we purpose to govern them in the spirit of Jesus Christ?

Stanley Jones in his excellent little book proves that Christianity came to Britain with the sword. Surely this is no reason why in this twentieth century we should cleave to a worn out principle. Especially when we realize that it is a matter of history that the "ruling race rules itself out." The "wolf is extinct in western Europe but the lamb reigns supreme." Our strength is not to be found in horses and charmats but in spirit of the living God. If, therefore, we are convinced that the method of force is not right what has the Church of Christ to say? Has she lost her authority and her sense of responsibility or is she merely playing the safe game? The line of least resistance always makes men crooked, just as it makes rivers crooked. Are we in the position of the devout Calvinist who, when riding out in his carriage came into a thunder storm and the lightning struck the carriage, but he thanked God that it only struck the box seat? Is the color bar or the social bar in the Church of Christ a tenable position? Is such a Church really worshiping her Lord Who Himself was a man of color and had not where to lay His head? I have been present where high church officials show that they are still under the bondage of false ideas by referring to child races with disparaging epithets. It is a fundamental that we yield to this characteristically Christian conception of the humanity in all races—all men are created in the image of God, all men are sons of God. Did Mohammed in his recognition of the equality of all worshippers catch more of the spirit of Christ than the Christian Church of our day? The Church of Christ must become so sure of God that she is afraid of nothing and shrinks from nothing. She must be prepared to yield to every just and righteous claim.

Livingstone, Morrison, Mary Nicear made this their dynamic, and this will be the dynamic for the Livingstones which are yet to rise up from among us. This world in which we live in God's world—a universe with a moral as well as a physical order and the secret thereof is Jesus. There can, therefore, be no solution apart from Him. His plan is to win through by love, and love will win through in the end. Replenish the furniture of your imagination with these ideas and you will enter into his glorious heritage for ultimately "ideas dominate the world."
