Marcus Garvey Now Recovering From Illness Which Confined Him To Prison Hospital
Leader a Victim to La Grippe and Asthma, the Latter, An Old Affliction, Which Is Aggravated By the Rigors Of Imprisonment
Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the world over will grieve to learn of the recent severe illness of the Honorable Marcus Garvey, who has been confined to the hospital in the Atlanta prison with an attack of the la grippe, combined with the asthma from which he is a chronic sufferer and which his confinement aggravates. The President- General is considerably improved at this time, but is still confined to the hospital. He will be cheered by the fact that thousands of followers throughout the world will offer fervent prayers for his speedy recovery.
The Honorable Marcus Garvey has proven himself to be a cheerful, uncomplaining prisoner. He has set before us a splendid example of patience and endurance, but members must not permit themselves to be lulled into a sense of security and well-being because their leader is a brave sufferer. Members of the Association cannot give their leader health and freedom. But they can help him to preserve his health by assisting with might and main in the accomplishment of the gigantic task of keeping the affairs of the Association running smoothly and so freeing his mind as much as possible from worry.
The Association is now confronted with one of the greatest tasks in its history, that of preserving the shrine of Garveyism, Liberty Hall, New York, so that it will forever remain the property of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and a monument to the distinguished founder of the organization and the principles for which it stands. What could hasten the recovery of the great leader more than to know that Liberty Hall is safe beyond the shadow of a doubt because the members have once more rallied to the call and done their financial best?
The third application for his release has been in the hands of the Department of Justice for some time. We cannot free him, but we can continue to petition those who have the power to do so, lest they construe our silence as indifference. And so, with our prayers, our generous hands and willing hearts, we can make happier the lot of our beloved invalid and hasten his recovery.
The Negro race cries out for leadership, the kind of leadership which the Hon. Marcus Garvey so courageously and unselfishly gives. Those who profess to love the race must consider it their duty to preserve the health and peace of mind of the most invaluable member of the race. Sympathy reinforced by co-operation and able assistance in carrying on the work will do wonders.—The Editors.
How American Occupation Of Haiti Is Demoralizing Oppressor and Oppressed
Ignorant and Licentious Young Men Drawn Chiefly from the Negro-Hating South Sowing Seeds of Strife Tax on Island's Chief Product Benefits Only National City Bank of New York-U. S. Advised to Get Out
In The New York World
It is pess easy to pass off, what
is the matter with the Marjorie "G
capitation" in Haiti. The ignorable
young lieutenant of amputees who was
taking me to see M. I toped off her
individually as we appreached his office.
"Some know me," coloured. "I don't know
how you feel, but I am from Tennessee
and I hate to skate hands with a
nigger."
"Well, I replied, 'I'm from Massachusetts,
and don't mind it at all.' So we went on to Mr. J. coffee and after introducing me the lieutenant withdrawn.
I found Mr. L. a well educated gentleman, higher in my scale of civilization that the youth to obtain from "nonessent" more education and a more experienced man of the world. After showing me from his quite considerable biography we only reach histories of the island that are hard to come to, he wanted to bring me the picture, "What do you think of the American occupation?" I was in favor of it, he applied the sufficiently, and still on, in spite of some disreputable features—they have done nothing good to his country. But I wish it were being carried out by a different class of men.
"You mean not so many from the South" of India than the tip out of ten of the American occupation force when I had not held from some State south of the Mississippi and Quincy line. This may be merely accidental, the marine service may appeal more to the Southwest than to the Northwest, but the occupation began in a secret city of ten miles from South Carolina."
"Yes, he agreed that so many with an interested prejudice against the black, a conviction as to his infliction lie." He went on to give me the story of the occupation in his small town
"We have a child here, a pleasant place, and when your men first come we invited them there. They were glad to come to our dances and dance with our young women. But when American women began coming to Halt your men did not want them to attend our dances and dance with our young men. So now we and they have passed rules including each other from our social functions." A great gift.
Distinctly so, I thought. Americans should have their women at home if they have the color prejudice. Then recalling certain dismal facts communicated to me by a personnel officer of the marines, as to what befits our young men set adrift in the troupes without their own women, the appalling wracks, physical and moral of the decimation to date, I hesitate to make judgment. The situation is too complex. But it is a plight that the young American lives of whom I had met a number of charming ones, were of such a useless, flappish type, who would not learn the language and help their men-folk to a better understanding of the people and the country they were living in. Instead they hold themselves strictly doofing, simulating almost among their own kind at bridge and jungle.
Much the same group as Mr. L. I had learned put more carefully by a light colored hotel proprietor at Port au Prince, who had had little opportunity to observe the American moors among his numerous patterns. "Fill them up with a few drinks of rum, and they begin cussin' the hugger. That isn't pleasant for us."
My own brief experience in the island confirmed this. Whenever the amiable young American officer, of whom I had met scores, had had a few drinks—and the occasions for having a drink in that are innumerable, they would almost invariably be busy carrying the native and his country. They

U. S. CITIZENSHIP LAW TO UNDERGO RADICAL CHANGE
Illegal Entrants Prior to July 1, 1924, to Be Admitted to Citizenship — Immigration Laws Also to Be Amended
By MARIAN BRUCE CLARK
In The Dearborn Independent
Amendments to both the immigration and naturalization laws which a few years ago would have been considered revolutionaries are being considered," and Representative Albert Johnson, chairman of the powerful Immigration and Naturalization Committee of the House, "but none of this important legislation can be reached at the present session of Congress. There are now before Congress some one hundred bills affecting immigration ranging in their demands from the removal of all aliens, and a strong effort being made to repeal the national origin section of the present federal law in its entirety.
The national-origin section provides that the present quotation allotment, based upon two per cent of each nationality in this country in 1830, shall expire July 1, 1827, when it shall be replaced by quotas based upon the national origin of the population of continental United States in 1830. Tabs would reduce the present maximum admissions from 161667 as now fixed to 150000 after July 1, and would separate to increase the quotas from Great Britain and Northern Ireland by eighty-five per cent and to reduce admissions from Germany, Irish Free State, the Scandinavian countries, as well as some of the Baltic States, by about seventy-five per cent, below their present allotment.
"It will be seen, therefore, that the greatest reductions would count the quotas of the Anglo-Saxon race from Germany, Irish Free State and the Scandinavian peninsula. To overcome this deficit and minimize the danger of such drastic exclusion of an insimilable people the Immigration Committee proposes the enactment of a discretionary clause permitting the admission of a requested allotment, restricted to the particular countries mentioned, irrespective of quota allowances and based upon agricultural, employment and development needs of the nation. Such admissions would be limited to sixty-six per cent. of the established quota adjustment in any one year and, in connection with the adoption of the national-origin quota as of 1960, should it become a law, would go far toward eliminating that racial dissatisfaction which, with the enactment of the prescriptions, led to widespread charges of discrimination in favor of the so-called Nordic races.
The law requires that the President
shall announce the national origin quo-

More Important Discoverles By Explorers in Egypt
PARIS, April 13. Important Egyptian discoveries including bas-reliefs and frescoes showing much light upon the mysteries Twelfth and Thirteenth dynasties, are announced by Georges Ponceau, head of the French expedition working near Thebes for many months.
An entire temple called the 'Sacred Lake has been unearthed, with its walls and stairways intact.
The most interesting discoveries however were in the Temple of the Dynasties where the explorers found portions of extremely ancient buildings containing bas-reliefs representing religious ceremonies, with inscriptions including a long historical inscription of the greatest interest which was very difficult to decipher. They also found columns, capitals and statues.

'THREAT' TO MAKE NATIONAL CENTRE FOR NEGRO ART
Art Collector of Philadelphia Uses Prejudice Against Negro as Weapon to Defeat Building Project Which Would Mar His Ideal
PHILADELPHIA, April 14. With it to devote a building housing a $7,000,000 art collection and the twelve-acre park surrounding it to a national center for the development of "the rare artistic and mental endowments of the Negro," today surred authorities of Merion township, an exclusive Philadelphia suburb.
The threat came from Dr. Albert C. Barnes when plans were disclosed for construction of a row of dwelling houses adjacent to the Barnes foundation, known in intellectual centers of the world for its collection of art, its distinctive courses in esthetics and for publications on art and sociology. His threat will be carried out, he insists, in the authorities permit the new construction.
Dr. Harries who created the foundation in 1923 with an endowment of $0,000,000, announced that he would give his art collection to the Metropolitan Museum in New York and establish his courses there, because the project intrusion of residences "show lack of appreciation in Philadelphia and Merion and spoils the ideal he had spent twenty years an rehousing." He said the building plan would bring city slums next door.
His proposed Negro educational center, he said, would be under the guidance of the National Urban League the leaders of which are from both the white and black races.
The league, he asserted, had been successful in other cities in defeating any attempt, legal or illegal, to prevent Negroes from residing where white men chose.
Negroes, he said, would live near the foundation and study there, and this was "no idle threat."

Columbia Increases University Fees
President Nicholas Murray Butler announced yesterday that the trustees of Columbia University had readjusted certain of the student fees, the readjustment to become effective September 1, 1927.
"The university fee which is paid by every registered student in token of his membership in the university and of his enjunction of its general privileges, opportunities and services is increased from $6 for each winter or spring session to $10, said President Butler. "For students registered in the summer session or in university extension, the university fee is increased from $6 to $11."

RIVERA GOES TO MORQCCO
Spanish Diotator Believed to Be oh Mission to Military Bases
MADRID, April 18 - General Primo Díaz Rivera, dospele the important, part he is scheduled to play in the formal Easter Week celebrations and in the entertainment of visiting royalty thereafter, suddenly announces today his departure for Morocco.
An official statement said his visit was occasioned by reports of storm damages, but it is believed the dictator's verand is aimed at bolstering the Spanish military situation as he did in the 1925 campaign. He will visit all the troops stationed in Morocco, going later to Cuba, Quemado, Melilla and probably Guatemala and Toucan.
Orders have been given for each regiment of infantry in garrison in Spain to make preparations to send one company to bases of the Morocco operations, with the view of ultimately isolating units now at the front.
EAST INDIAN AND NEGRO PROBLEMS IN SOUTH AFRICA
(From The Nation)
In one context of the British Empire the ancient conflict between East and West has reached an inert temporary solution. Relations between East Indian and white man in South Africa have been a problem ever since the planters of North India induced their Governors to bring in cheap Indian agricultural labourers more than half a century ago. Mahatma Gandhi's name first became known in his home country when he gave up his law practice to defend the cause of his fellow-countrymen in South Africa twenty years ago. He preached and organized, and was imprisoned, and won the Smuts-Gandhi奖, which quieted agitation until after the war. When the empire was talking loudly of the equal rights of the Dominions, the Indians aligned equal citizenship in other parts of the empire. South Africa replied by imposing more restrictions upon her 160,000 Indian residents, and recently proposed still further registrations, especially in the Areas Registration Bill. But whereas Indian delegations in other years have met with South African refusal to so much as sit down together, this year's delegation got a finer spirit. The result is a compromise agreement which promises equal privileges for Indians "prepared to conform to Western standards of life". The Areas Registration Bill will be dropped; Indians who wish to emigrate will be assisted by the South African Government, equal pay for equal work is assured; but South Africa's right to maintain "Western standards" in her own territory is reaffirmed. There are vague clauses in this agreement, which may lead to trouble. Everything depends upon the manner of its execution, but the facts that Gandhi indoles, and General Horizz sponsors it two reasons for hope. Meanwhile the problem of the Blacks remains.
36 Pilgrims Killed in Rush Into Ganges
HARDWAR, United Provinces, India, April 13. Thirty-five pilgrims were crushed to death and many friends injured during a rush to be the first to bathe in the holy (tanges River as part of the Kumba Meia, or Hindu religious bathing ceremony. The ceremony, which has been going on since the first of March, reached its final stage last night, when vast numbers entered the water of the sacred river. In the rush at the wooden barricades erected along the river typhoon one woman and fifteen men were killed. Many others were taken to hospitals suffering from serious injuries. Hardwar, previously called Kundigwar (date of the (tanges), is situated at the spot where the river issu

LOADED WITH DEBT,
GREAT BRITAIN
FACES GRAVE CRISIS
(From the New York World)
Confributed with the greatest peace-time deficit on record, failing to the prospect of the greatest national expenditure in time of peace. Winston Churchill, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, went at his budget with determination. The coal strike had sent all estimates awry; had it? Very well; the next thing to do was to meet the bill. Better to be the most-tragic nation in the world thin to fall to meet any just obligation or reasonable expectation. As a crowning stroke of police, Mr. Churchill announced an increase in the sinking fund from $250,000,000 to $252,000,000 to offset the raiding of the fund in the recent emergency.
How is it to be done? There is only one way by taxation. Certain ministries and departments are to be abolished altogether. Landlords are to pay their income tax in one payment instead of two—a change that has been suggested for New York City's general tax. Brewers must pay a little more. The road fund is raided—too bad, but it can be made up another year. New dutton are laid on auto tires; more taxes on tobacco, matches, foreign wines. Somehow the country is determined to make both ends meet. And this will be accomplished, if all plans work out well, without increase in the rate of direct taxation.
The payment of annual interest to the United States Treasury is a heavy burden, in part met by German repatriation payments under the Dawes plan, and by payments from the Allied John Kull is passing through anxious times, but he pays his way.
British Drink Bill
$1.506.500.000
British drys can take small comfort from the liquor consumption statistics of 1926, for although there was a decrease per head of $1.75 over the previous year, the colossal sum of $1,500,000,000, or $34 26 person, was expended on alcoholic refreshment. This, however, was $68,500,000 below the total for 1926
But when the dry begin to analyze the causes for the slight reduction they come up against the fact that the long tide in the mills preceded by the disastrous general strike, old much to circumscribe the demand for beer and booch in industrial England. In the stricken mining villages there was a big drop in consumption because of the lack of money for many months. The most notable thing about liquor consumption in Britain in recent years has been the steady decline in booch drinking. Again, that is not due to dry propaganda, but largely the result of the high cost of whiskey - London correspondence of The New York Sun.

Willing to Take Steps Against Wrongdoers When Question of Guilt Is Determined by Nationalist Government—Invites U. S. to Join Commission of Inquiry
SELF-CONFIDENT CHINA TO RESIST HUMILIATION
Says Commission Will Also Investigate Circumstances of Bombardment by U. S. Naval Forces of Unfortified City Contrary to Laws of Nations and Recognized Practices of Civilized States
HANKOW, China, April 15.—The reply of Eugene Chen, Cantonese Foreign Minister, to the United States Note protesting against outrages against Americans at Nanking and calling for an apology and reparations, follows:
Here's Good News for Skinny Men Who Need More Strength, Energy and Vitality
"The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist government is in receipt of the American government's note dated April 11, formulating terms for prompt settlement of the situation created by outrages against American nationalists committed by the Nationalist troops in Nanking on March 24"
"In reply to the American government's demands for 'complete reparations for persons injured and material damage done' the Nationalist government is prepared to make good all damage done to the American consulate in Nanking, whether or not such damage was caused by the northern rebels or others, as stated in a preliminary statement issued by the Nationalist, government March 21. The fact remains that the American consulate in Chinese territory was violated.
Promises Reasonable Reparating
Regarding the matter of reparations for personal injuries to American nationals and the material damage done, the Nationalist government is prepared to make all reasonable necessary preparation, exclu'd in cases where it can be definitely proved that the same were caused by the British and American naval bombardment on March 24 or by northern rebels as agents provocateurs.
"The demands for adequate punishment of the commanders of the troops responsible for murders, personal injuries, indignities and material damage done, as also for all persons found implicated, necessarily assumes the

Became a Lawyer There Where His Aged Mother Stjill Lives and Reads About Him
PORT AU SPAIN, Trinidad April 16. In a little wooden house in San Fernando, a thriving town in the heart of the Trinidad oil district lives Mrs. Bernard Acham, aged mother of one of the outstanding figures of the Chinese revolution, Fugeno Acham Chen, Nationalist Foreign Minister, who was born here fifty-three years ago.
His maternal grandparents, who had the name of Ché, enigrated from China to Martinique, later coming to Trinidad and settling in San Fernando where they opened a small shop. They brought with them their daughter, who married Bernard Acham, another Chinese from Martinique, and the pair started in business together. The family wherein they conducted a grocery shop still stands.
Eugene Chen, the first of six children, attended the borough school and then the Roman Catholic school in Port au Spain. Leaving the school he was appointed to a lawyer and became an attorney with a flourishing practice. Two of his younger brothers also became lawyers. One went to Singapore from Trinidad a year ago and the other is still practicing in Port au Spain. A third brother is employed in the registrar's office.
Eugene Chen married & negress by whom he had four children. In 1901 he took his family to London, where he met Sun Yat-sen, the Cantonese leader. The children were educated in London, one son qualifying as a lawyer, and a daughter being a dancer. Chen owned valuable properties in Trinidad, which he spared before his departure. Recently Chen's children went to China.
"Mr. Acham lives in San Francisco with an unmarried daughter. She has heard nothing from her son since he went to China, but she reads about

guilt of the Nationalist forces who captured Nanking. While this guilt was contradicted in π preliminary statement issued on March 31, a rigid government inquiry is being conducted to assert the exact facts in the case, including verification of who outstanding facts in the report to the military council by General Chen, Chien, who took Nanking, that his force rounded up and captured approximately 20,000 Northern soldiers with rifles, besides two camp followers inside the city. General Chen Chien has also reported that a number of those implicated already have been executed.
Awaits Result of Inquiry
The Nationalist government proposes that the question of punishment should affect the findings of a government inquiry, now in progress, or of an international commission of inquiry to be instituted immediately by the United States and the Nationalist government.
"As the laws of nations and the recognized practices of civilized states prohibit the punishment of citizens on territories of friendly states, the Nationalist government proposes a commission of inquiry also to investigate the circumstances of the bombardment of the unfortified city of Nanking by naval forces of the United States.
"The demand for an apology in writing by the commander in-chief of the Nationalist army, including a written undertaking to refrain from violence against foreign lives and property, is as far as an anology is concerned justified on proof of Nationalist guilt for the Nanking disturbances. The Nationalist government, therefore, proposes that the question of an apology should also await determination of the question of guilt, either by the government inquiry now in progress or by the proposed international commission.

In the meantime the Nationalist government repeats the expression of regret which the Minister of Foreign Affairs communicated to the United States government directly. It was reported to him that the United States Consulate was violated.
"The Nationalist government as the responsible governing body, does not countenance, the use of any form of violence or agitation against foreign lives and property. Indeed, the protection of foreign lives and property has been repeatedly declared a settled policy of the Nationalist government. The proper authorities of the Nationalist army will of course, be instructed to give not only a written undertaking in this sense, but to see that effective measures are taken to afford proper protection for foreign lives and property.

tention of American and other foreign
lives and property lives in removal of

trouble between Nationalist China and

It is these inequitable treaties which constitute the chief danger to foreign lives and property in China and the danger will persist as long an effective government is rendered difficult by foreign insistence upon conditions which force humiliation and menace upon a nation which is known for its greatness and which today is conscious of renewal of its strength. The Nationalist government accordingly is prepared and ready to appoint delegates to negotiate with delegates of the United States for satisfactory settlement of the issues and difference pending between Nationalist China and the United States on terms which will assure the legitimate interests of both countries and reciprocity in their relations.

SPECIAL EASTER DAY OBSERVANCES BRING THRONGS TO LIBERTY HALL
Special Diyine Service and Mass Meetings in the Afternoon and at Night-Bishop of Abyssinia Encourages the Membership Dr. George A. McQuire, Primate of African Orthodox Church, and Professor Williams, of Richmond, Va., Principal Speakers to Evening Assemblage
NEW-YORK, Liberty Hall, Sunday Night April 17. The spacious auditorium was filled to the doors tonight on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting of the New York legal, a hitting male to a day of special Easter observances. There was a special divine service at 10:30 a.m. followed by a mass meeting at 3 p.m., at which Bishop Endowed Hickerson of Abyssina, delivered a very inspiring address. A feature of the meeting, too, was the musical program, special Faster music being supplied by the Universal Choir under Professor Ware, director of music. Hon W. A. Wallace, Secretary-General, presided at this meeting, which witnessed a remarkable turn out of the various units reinforced by bus loads of visiting members from the Philadelphia division. Addresses were also delivered by Capt. Branch, of Philadelphia, Prof. Williams, of Armstrong College, Virginia, and Hon W. A. Wallace.
Hon Fred A. Tooth occupied the chair at the night outpouring, at which it was witnessed an excellent demonstration by the New York and Philadelphia telegraphies under Capt Branch. Again the musical offerings were very enjoyable, the Universal band under Prof. Hussell adding its quota. The principal speaker was the George A. McGuire, Primate of the African Orthodox Church, while other addresses were delivered by Prof. Williams, of Virginia, and Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, Editor of The Negro World.
A report of the addresses follows
Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, editor of The Negro World, was the first speaker. He said he was having a great deal of trouble with his throat, but he could not resist the temptation of saying a few words to the good people of Liberty Hall. He had to admire the aristocratic manner in which the members of the New York Local were clinging together and standing by the officers of the Association and their beloved leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. In common with the vast membership throughout the world he was deeply interested in the early release of Mr. Garvey. Most people have in the course of their lives been the father of something, the author of something, or the creator of something, and he found that nobody could understand and execute plans made as well as the Creator himself. It was, therefore, the duty of the membership to leave no stone unturned to bring about the early release of the revered leader, and in the meantime while he remained behind prison bars they could best cheer and comfort him by giving of their best to the furtherance of the great program which he had outlined and prosecuted with such signal success up to the time of his incarceration.
PROF. WILLIAMS' ADDRESS
Professor Williams, of Richmond
Virginia, was then introduced by the
Hon Fred A Toute. He spoke on the
great need for education of the right
sort. Negroes must stop yeaning to
"shout all over God's heaven," he said,
and do their shouting here on earth
in an effort to get the things which
belong to them. Education of the right
sort must have a revolutionizing influence on the race for good, and, in this respect, he was proud to see the beginnings, made by the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the Liberty University at Virginia. A great future was in store for that institution, and he hoped that the membership everywhere would realize what a jewel it was in their crown. It was their duty to see that it grew year by year, that its class rooms were always filled with young, ambitious boys and girls of the race, preparing themselves to take their places in the struggle for freedom and independence.
Tribute to Negro Women
This speaker then paid a striking tribute to the women of the race, whom he characterized as the finest group to be found anywhere in the world. They were a sterling group of

human beings and should inspire every Negro man to grant deeds. At the present time he was sorry to state the women were being forced to do some of the things the men should be doing. It was not that he believed that women's activities should be circumscribed, but, in the present condition of the race, there was so much the women were doing, indeed, were compelled to do in their particular sphere, that the men should be more considerate and thoughtful and spare them additional burdens. He only wished that the men of the race had the splendid spirit the cathusiasm and wondrous courage and application to duty which characterized the women. Then it would not be long before all was well With the Negro race
BISHOP McGUIRE'S ADDRESS
Dr. George Alexander McGuire, Primate of the African Orthodox Church, was the next speaker. He said that in spite of a very busy day when the call came to him to speak to the people of Liberty Hall he could not but accept. The speaker with his characteristic oloquence moved the audience deeply as he referred to the sufferings of the great leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, at this time and had his hearers not be disheartened and discouraged but to buckle on their armor and continue to fight for the cause to which they had consecrated their very lives. The time must come when the leader would walk forth from Atlanta a free man. Just as the sepulchre opened and Jesus walked forth nearly 1,000 years ago.

Waters, who was one of Mayor Hill's strong stand-bys in the 1955 municipal primaries, said that, through Mr. Hiklin, Tammann Hall had been able to count on 70 per cent of the Negro vote in Hurlen, but that under George W. Olvans's leadership of Tammann only about 50 per cent of the Negro vote was final for Democratic candidates last year.
"Since the death of Charles F. Murphy the interests of the Negro Democrats have been absolutely ignored by Tammann Hail," Waters said. "We might as well be back down South for all the consideration we are receiving from the Tammany organization."
The Negroes are bitter against Governor Smith, too, he asserted, because the Governor has not appointed a single Negro to an important office and because he voted the bill for a new municipal court district in Harlem, which undoubtedly would have insured the election of a Negro to the Municipal Court bench.
Former Police Commissioner Mr. Laughlin came in for criticism, too. Waters said every Negro club in Harlon had been raided by the police even where card playing was confined to the members.

U. N. I. A. CONFEREES IN JAMAICA, B. W. I., PRAISE LEGISLATOR
Bishop's Slur on Negroes in Address Delivered in England Bitterly Resented—Hon. D. T. Wint Thanked for Able Reply
To the editor of The Negro World.
Sincerely and you herewith copy covering letter and a resolution passed at our recent conference of Delegates of the U.S.A. and Port Antonio in praise of the Hon. D. T. Witt, Member of Legislature from St. Ann, for his defense of our race and his repose therein for which he bespoke a place in the next issue of The Negro World, as there are yet some brightened Negroes who think, perhaps by an acquired habit, that the Englishman is our best friend on earth.
It is high time that we start to defend ourselves effectively against recurrences of the recuding this "Christian" Bishop gave us in his enlightened England.
There are signs that we are getting sick and tired of it. Let us show our resentment more.

LETTER TO HON. D. T. WINT
Hon D T Wint, M L C.
Inverness P. O.
Their sir. The resolution here-
with is self-explaining. The key-
net of all we may otherwise say,
is expressed therein.
To us it is an extreme pleasure
that one of the people so basely
maligned is able so fearlessly and
effectively to defend that same
people, against such gratuitous insuite.
The marshaling of the arguments
has been masterful. We know
of no one who could have
done it better. We congratulate
you. We thank you.
Very truly yours for social up-
lift. (Signed.)

THE RESOLUTION
Resolution passed at Conference of Delegates of Divisions of the U. N. I. A., held at Port Antonio on Ash Wednesday, March 2, 1927. Whereas it has been the custom of certain individuals on their return to England to speak disparagingly of the colored people of this country, and
Whereas this disparagement has been perfectly exemplified in a speech by the Bishop of Jamaica in a recent visit to his native jland, and against which custom and speech the Hon. D. T. Waint. M. L. C., protested, and in defense of his countrymen highly reputed
Iridium Is Hardest Of Pure Metals
Indium, a metallic element in the same chemical group as platinum, and often used as the tip for fountain pens, is the hardest puro metal according to tests recently made by A Mallock and announced in the English scientific magazine "Nature". Molybdenum is the next hardest, with tungsten third. Nickel is the hardest of the common metals, as it ranks fifth, the rare metal rhodium coming in fourth. These refer only to pure metallic elements, for some alloys, such as steel, with a high percentage of aluminium, rank higher than any. The softest of the metals tested grown to the thallium, as it ranked No 24, lead being 23 and tin 22. Gold is 18, silver 19, palladium, which is in the same group as platinum and rhodium. 11 aluminium 12, copper 11 and iron 10.
General Increase
WASHINGTON, April 14. According to a current release of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, household workouts, including a large increment of Negro operatives in large Northern laundry plants, are practically the only group which suffered a slight wage decrease as between May, 1925, and May, 1926. The drop was from 444 cents to 441 cents per hour, based upon the union scale of wages and hours.
On the other hand, however, the building trades as a whole had an increase from an average of $1,199 to $1,278 per hour. The bricklayers went from an average of $1,475 to $1,665, carpenters from $1,184 to $1,267, paint-

BISHOP ON NEGRO MORALS
The following is an extract from the offending address of the Bishop of Jamaica as reproduced in the Jamaica Critic, a Negro monthly magazine, "Dr. G. F. C. Dearcarter, Bishop of Jamaica, gave his unique address in St Paul's Church on Wednesday evening, on the work of the Church in Jamaica. The port of the Parish of St Paul's had played, he said toward the spreading of the Gospel in Jamaica was always a grateful memory. Although they had many calls upon their generosity in these days he could always safely ask them to pray for the better guidance of their work in Jamaica. It was one of St Paul's oldest colonies, and one of few many children which it was bounded duty to Christianize. Great Britain had many children, both large and small, but they should never sight of the fact that they were to her for a purpose, and that pose was to care for the Gospel of Christianity into their midst. The peoples of Jamaica were mixed, with the Negro type predominating. It was ninety years ago they were exposed from slavery, but since then great strides had been made to their spiritual welfare. But a Negro's idea of Christianity was rather contradictory. They nonetheless believed that if they stole something and managed to escape undetected, God had helped them and a devout Negro would thank them for it. They knew nothing of the marriage, and their morals were often rather loose. But a Negro was sincere, and if he were approached in the right manner he could become an earnest Christian. English people seemed too fond of confusing Christianity with hymn singing and a phrasal demeanor. A true Christian was one who honestly and sincerely tried to carry out the commands of the Master. In short Christianity was not a creed, but a life.
$1 281 to $1 381. Similar changes took place in the other building trades. Stonecuttors had an increase from $1 288 to $1 404 per hour, and shoremen received an increase from $23 cents to $45 cents.
Natives of Bahamas Intelligent and Obliging
WASHINGTON, April 14 — According to a member of the British Colonial Service, by insensitivities and a suspicious point of view are the chief causes of the social feeling throughout the world. The expert recently described the colored population, of the Bahama Islands, numbering some 53,000 persons, who are the dependents of the slaves brought from the West Coast of Africa in the palmstones of the slave trade. In 1807 it was made illegal for any British subject to engage in the trafficking though it was not until August 1, 1833, that slavery was abolished in the Bahamas. These descendants of slaves says the English writer, have an attractive personality, good manners and a theory deposition, and if they are lazy, that in a fault for which employment is largely responsible, and one which even the white man does not wholly escape in the Bahamas attitudes. The half-caste, however, is usually morose and suspicious, even on the lookout for slights and not infrequently attributing to his white neighbors a hostile attitude that does not exist.
The American visitor to the Bahamas finds in the colored native a never-ending source of interest and amusement. He is public and anxious to oblige, he is musical in its own imitative way, and he is the fortunate possessor of a sense of humor and a philosophy of life which carries him smiling through the troubles of a not too comfortable existence.

Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are reminded that the One Dollar Yearly Assessment Tax became due January 1, 1927. No member is in financial standing unless this tax has been paid. PAY SAME NOW to the Secretary of your Branch, who will in turn forward same immediatoly to Headquarters, addressed to the Secretary-General, 142 West 130th Street, New York City FRED A. TOOTE, Acting President-General.
It is for me officially to notify you of the serious condition affecting our very valuable Liberty Hall property at New York. Inspired by selfish motives, a few Negroes aided by certain real estate interests in the City of New York are making desperate efforts to acquire this property and so deprive the Association of its use.
LIBERTY HALL was purchased by the Hon. Marcus Garvey in 1919 for the Universal Negro Improvement Association and improved at a total cost of $110,000. Up to February, 1925, when the Hon. Marcus Garvey was taken to prison, the Universal Negro Improvement Association had paid in a total of $71,700.00, leaving a balance of $38,300.00 divided up into a purchase-money mortgage of $22,000.00 held by the Metropolitan Baptist Church and a balance of two first mortgages of $2,000.00 and $14,300.00 respectively, held by the Emigrants Industrial Savings Bank.
In November, 1926, a mortgage of $32,000.00 was placed on LIBERTY HALL by George A. Weston, ostensibly for the purpose of retiring certain judgments and mortgages accrued on the said property. This matter is now in the hands of the Supreme Court of the State of New York under an order to compel a proper accounting of the disbursement of the said $32,000.00. In January, 1926, the property was encumbered by a fourth mortgage of $6,300.00 placed there by George A. Weston.
In March, 1926, when the present administration took over the affairs of the Association following the Detroit Extraordinary Convention, we found all of these encumbrances upon the LIBERTY HALL PROPERTY. Since coming into office it has reduced these encumbrances by $19,000.00 paid out from time to time. The administration has been confronted with great difficulties in its attempt to save LIBERTY HALL, due to the operation of certain sinister agents and their backers in an effort to acquire the LIBERTY HALL PROPERTY and, de-

prive the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of its use, thereby stultifying their endeavor to prosecute the program of "Africa for the Africans."
To this end, one Casper Holstein, a Negro, upon his own application either in person or by attorney, purchased from the Emigrants Industrial Savings Bank two past-due first mortgages totaling $12,000.00 which the bank was quite willing to carry as long as the Universal Negro Improvement Association paid the interest on these mortgages. Just two days before an installment payment of $3,435.00 was due on our third mortgage, this Casper Holstein through his attorney notified us of the assignment of these two mortgages to him by the Emigrants Industrial Savings Bank and demanded payment from

us within twenty-four hours. The Association was not in position to comply with this demand and Casper Holstein began foreclosure proceedings to sell the LIBERTY HALL PROPERTY. There is not the slightest doubt that a concentrated effort is now being made to acquire this very valuable site. The holders of the third mortgage of $32,000.00, which is now reduced to $26,000.00, have also demanded payment in full by April 1st.
Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the matter of continuing our ownership of LIBERTY HALL now rests entirely with us. Shall we continue to own it, or shall we succumb to the pressure of notorious Negroes aided by certain realty self-seeking interests? Now is the time for each and every member and well-wisher of this greatest of Negro

movements to come to the rescue of LIBERTY HALL—the sacred shrine of Negro Liberty. Whatever be the dollars-and-cents cost of the LIBERTY HALL PROPERTY, it is a secondary matter to the millions of suffering Negroes throughout the world. The inspiration that they have received from time to time from the historic gatherings at LIBERTY HALL is far beyond pecuniary value. It is from LIBERTY HALL that millions have been inspired to race consciousness, and to allow this our LIBERTY HALL to succumb now for the lack of a little sacrifice upon the part of the members of our race would be an act no less amazing than tragic.
LIBERTY HALL PROPERTY is a sacred heritage that must be kept to inspire the millions yet unborn. To the one hundred per cent. Negro LIBERTY HALL is to him what Runnymede is to Englishmen, Independence Hall to the American and the Bastile to Frenchmen; for within the walls of this sacred shrine of Negro Liberty the Negro Bill of Rights, paralleling the English Magna Charta and the American Declaration of Independence, was signed by an International group of Negroes in the year 1920.
LIBERTY HALL must be saved at all costs, for we cannot permit the self-seeking destroyers of Negro Liberty to put over such a sinister move at the expense of the race. Call out to the encroachers:
"Woodman! Woodman! Spare that tree, Touch not a single bough; In youth its branches sheltered me And I'll protect it now"
The Universal Negro Improvement Association calls upon each and every member scattered throughout the entire world to donate $5.00 or more within the next 90 days and help to save LIBERTY HALL, New York City.
Forward your donation to the "Secretary, Liberty Crusaders Campaign, 142 West 130th Street, New York City." Also fill in the donation blank and become a member of the Crusaders.

ROME Italy April 9—For the
past few days I have been wandering
around the Eternal City and have been
so overwhelmed with the magnitude
of some of the things I have seen that
it will take a far abler pen than mine
to describe what I have seen and feel.
For Rome is not only the capital
of Christianity, but it is also that of
western art and western civilization.
Before I attempt anything let me
tell a rather interesting incident that
took place on the way from Naples by
the compartment in which I was
five others, a French lady and four
Italians, all Fascists. As it happened

far less formal than the American of the Englishman we were gone in friendly conversation. The Italian had warmed up to me immediately as I spoke well of Massachusetts—indeed I had better speak well of him for hours things went on like this until two Germans, a man and his wife, entered the compartment, when suddenly there was a hush and a constraint. The effect was precisely as if the scene were in the smoker of a white Pullman car in the South, and a Negro had entered as a passenger.
The Germans apparently feeling as uneasy as the Newcomer would have been in the white smoker, kept to themselves, speaking in low tones in their own language the only outside remark being addressed to myself when the man wanted the loan of a French newspaper I had on the table. To me with no ill will towards Germans in particular the situation was to say the least interesting. But it was soon to become more so. Soon after a young priest looked in at the door and began to speak to the two Germans in their language. The priest was such a smiling, pleasant young fellow that I couldn't help smiling at him, where one of my best friends fledifting I a newspaper to hide his face, gave me an angry sow as if to say that it wasn't the proper thing to show no respect of Germans. Later when the Germans had left, one of the Fascists
made a quaint wine, had a quite fine
touring ring. He said that
species of cichoria (same) shouldn't
have been permitted to tide among

who happened to be from Morocco,
thanked heaven that Germans weren't
permitted there or in any part of
French African territory.
Leaving the friend's home to draw
their own moral I will go on to speak
of Rome.
Rome is a very fine, clean city, and
though very old, has a somewhat modern
appearance. I have discovered
that the best way, for more reasons
than one, is to do these cities on foot.
First, it saves the argument you are
sure to have with the guide, or cab
driver, unless you are prepared to give
him just double whiff he asked you.

Passing magnificent honors and fine mansions I came to a park where, I saw a white nurse leading by the hands two little boys, one white the other dark, and plainly of Negro ancestry. He was dressed in a juanity sailor suit and carried a cane. Both apparently belonged to a good family or families and anxious to learn more I apologe to them, but unfortunately, I know no Italian.
My next thrill was in arriving at the Campidoglio, or Capitol, home on one of the famous Seven Hills. It is now a remarkably fine square with time-stained statues, the central figure being that of Marusus Aurellus on horseback. Here it was that Jilius Caesar and Brutus, and Cassius, Pompey, Cato and Cataline all held forth.
And right here it will be necessary to issue warning that in this and ensuing articles I am likely to get far away from the color question for the simple reason that there is none here. The first Negrae here, mostly Aborigians and Somali, live precisely as white people, and if you're an American, black or white, you're likely to find the best hotels and the best of everything being washed on to soak, as the popular belief is that all Americans are like the treasury at Washington, bursting with good. Besides getting away from the color question for a while will do us a world of good at least. It has been of tremendous psychological benefit to me in the last month or so. Already I'm beginning to feel that I am a human being again and not a problem.
Leaving the Capitol came to the Quinnipiac, near which is the King's palace, and the monument to Victor Lengel H., and the Unknown Soldier, which is said to be second to none in all Europe. All around this vicinity are the remains of ancient Rome, airlines, columns and a part of the old wall along which once bristled the defenders of Rome, but which now serve as foundation for modern homes. My next thrill is on coming on the famous Tiber (Flume Tevere), made famous in our day by Shakespeare in Julius Caesar. The Tiber is a rapid flowing river, and is spanned by magnificent bridges. From which one gets in an uncled view of the surrounding buildings.
The most striking of these is the Castel San Angelo, a formalized-looking fortress, built in 134 A.D. This castle is notch for its famous sieges and for the tradition that the Archangel Michael once appeared over its great dome to Pope Gregory the Great to assure him that a plague then ravaged Rome would be staged. One hears many of that sort of thing here, but more of the later.
Looking away from the Castel San Angelo I say a towering dome and a trill tell me that there is St Peter's, the largest Christian church in the world, and the foundation stone of the Christian religion I start out eagerly straight towards it, but do not reckon on the swelling streets of Europe, and after walking nearly two miles, I find myself back at the Tiber. This time I amque 'San Pietro' in my best Italian of passersby, and reach it in a few minutes.
The first thing that strikes one is the magnificent square with its colonade leading to the very wide steps of the church. The colonade is in two sweeps of 142 columns each with 90 pillars and 192 statues of saints, each 18 feet high. In the center of the square or plaza, as it is called, is a towering Egyptian obelisk with two magnificent foundations on either side spouting water high in the air.
But one must be sparing of prince for the outside, or how shall one ever find words to speak of the interior where we arrive after successfully dodging the reception committee of guilds and vendors of postcards and trinkets, who are awaiting me. What a fine place Italy would be if it weren't for these borders of pests to disturb ones thoughts as each important place. But I suppose they have as much a right to to make us living as I have to wish not to be disturbed.
I shall certainly not attempt to give

a descriptions of the interior of Skinner, except to say in the most unqualified terms that it is the grandest most thrilling most satisfying sight I have ever bencht. I have seen some of the most magnificent opulences of man and of nature, but do anything to equal it. Use all the adjectives denoting wonder, magnificence beauty, and eagle would still be far away from doom, it a sultantia of justice, for is it not the handwork, itself of the greatest geniuses of the human race artists, sculptors, designers for more than six hundred years? Verify the man who designed this noble structure had something on their brain besides the Charleston, the black bottom, the numbers, the baseball and football scores "Meger Heaven," "Fine Clothes to the Jew," and the puffing gabarite) stuff that white publishers in America would join our Negro writers and thinkers down to. I felt indeed that my fellow Negroes are as capable of doing as fine things as this. Had they but the vision and the ambition, for was it not our greatest Negro ancestors that laid the foundation for all this especially in Egypt, from which most of Western art is derived?
Byron wrote, "While the Colossus stands, Rome stands." To me Catholicism as well as Protestantism mean as little as obhamdamism — I believe that all have served their day — but I feel like saying in a similar vein, "While St. Peter's stands the Catholic Church stands." The poor Kluxians in America, buried in their little holes simply don't know what theyre up against. One feels that even the Imperial Wizard himself would have great difficulty in concealing his admiration for this Temple of Beauty, to which Catholics come by the hundreds of thousands annually from all parts of the world as Mohammedans go to Mecca.
Among the noteworthy things in this cathedral are the great dome with its beautiful ornamentation up at which one looks. 450 feet, the Clementine Chapel, with a mosaic showing the saint drawing blood from a linen cloth, the Papal Altar, and the bronze status of St Peter, the right foot of which is worn smooth by the kisses of devotees in the last fifteen hundred years. As for me I contented myself to watching others in Lino doing so for more reasons than one. St Peter is built on the spot on which the Apostle Peter is buried. The Pope is his direct spiritual descendants, and in my next I will endeavor to show how this forbidden hope of early Christians, headed by Peter and Paul, were able to overthrow the might of Imperial Rome, because of the firm

present law shall remain in effect for another year. The committee composed of the Secretaries of State, Commerce and Labor has, however, not with almost unmountable difficulty in calculating true percentages owing to the absence of immigration statistics prior to 1850, and, for this reason alone, it will be a practical impossibility to adopt a new quota this year, in respect of the constantly growing opposition from France, German and Scandinavian nations, and their descendants already here.
There are in the United States today approximately one million men who had effected illegal entrance to the country prior to July 1, 1924, and because of their inability to prove regular admission are, in truth, men without a country. The overwhelming majority of these have already proved their worth to the nation. Thousands are taxpayers, exemplary residents and parents of natural born Americans virtually bound to the country by ties of blood. An innovation in naturalization legislation is in process of completion by the Immigration and Naturalization Committee which would enfranchise this large percentage of our adult population by an amendment providing for
1 A formal declaration of arrival
2 Payment of the head tax in lieu of a fine
3 Automatic naturalization upon declaration of intention and compliance with the above provisions
Such an amendment would at once correct an inequitable situation and at the same time satisfy the law, since no benefit may now accrue to the United States by withholding the franchise from this law-adding element of the population, who are under circumstances subject to deportation whose primary infraction of law has been nullified by the statute of limitations, and who have already been penalized by long years of political ostracism.
"Action upon this measure must however, be delayed pending the passage of the Deposition Act now before Congress which extends the time must under which deportation may be effected from face to seven years and provides for deportation of criminals upon conviction, thus saving the commonwealth expensive maintenance charges during long terms of imprisonment. This bill has already passed the House, but as apparently countering obstructive tactics in the Senate. The measure confers adequate jurisdiction upon the immigration court for final disposition of cases, thus relieving congestion on calendars and hastening departmental procedure. Since there are how some twenty-five thousand alien criminals included among the million irregular entrants whom it is proposed to extradition, it is obvious that the committee will withhold action upon the naturalization amendment until the deportation act has been passed. It is in this connection that the value of registration of aliens would be demonstrated as an infallible means of detecting and apprehending illegal entrants, providing at once a safeguard to the legitimacy.

mute immigrant and an effective obstacle to the snuggle alien
The Immigration and Naturalization Committee is in favor of providing the professional admission to wives and minor children of all United States citizens, including natural-born Asiatics, continued Chairman Johnson, but only within quota provisions. It has been the experience of the committee that any alien's relaxation has been followed at once by subversive activities, intended immediately to weaken the law and eventually to break down all restrictive provisions. Ample evidence of the constant assaults that are being made upon immigration laws by radical groups seeking to impose their will upon the nation is furnished by the multitude of bills now before Congress seeking tolegate the quota law in favor of not only wives and children, but mothers and fathers, grandparents, and relatives of lesser degrees of kindred, as well as fames.
"Mexican immigration must also receive the early attention of the committee, but anticipated objections from the State Department at this time may soon wait delay this action. There can be no doubt, however, that north Mexico and Canada would welcome, and tightening of our laws which would operate, to keep, their national labor within their own borders, but our combined efforts cannot approximately complete this program during the present session of Congress."
French Girls Get More "Equal Rights"
PARIS, April 9—Women have won their eighteen year fight for full equality in the Superior Normal School, the highest institution of its kind in France.
The Government, representing men, has surrendered, Mme. Jacotin, who won honors in the admission examinations was called a "scholarship pupil." She now has the highly valued title of "pupil" of the school.
Four other women, from 1810 on, followed the school's course and were graduated but were denied the right to call themselves "former pupil."
Since the right of women to rank with men in the school is deligently established the four who were denied that right ask that it be given to them retrospectively.

We wish to call your attention to the Combination Puncture Proof Tire, which we believe to be the greatest invention of the age on automobile tires, Samuel R. Ingram, inventor. They have been demonstrated before thousands of people by an automobile equipped with these tires running over nails driven in a board two inches apart and they have included potential. The first tires were put on the market in September, 1928.
We also wish to call your attention to the great history of America. We are the first Nogres in America to incorporate a Tire Company and make automobile tires. The inventor refused $250,000 for this invention before he made, but he dedified it to the race and it cannot be sold.
We believe that all of our people who want to see factories in various states of the Union employing our girls and boys and manufacturing automobile tires, will help us to do this by subscribing for at least $100 a year.

OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey
A STRONG STUDENT UNIT FOR THE U. N. I. A.
WE desire to address ourselves to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association particularly regarding the importance of a strong student group within our membership. While divisions and chapters have conducted membership drives time and time again, yet no special appeal has been made to attract this element to our ranks. One might be tempted to say that our program is attractive enough as it is. We concede this, but young people are not ready to rush into serious movements; they must be specially invited and coaxed into it.
Our juveniles have increased marvelously—they are the children whose parents bring them to the U. N. I. A. meetings; they have found a welcome place in this unit, where they are trained to be good Garwayites. They render great service in participating in the musical programs of the various divisions. But the boys and girls over fourteen years of age are the ones we want to see drawn into this organization by the thousands. They consider it infra dig to mix with the juveniles or to be called juveniles, and the old folks are too dull for them. So the organization loses hundreds of thousands of young blood because no special appeal is made to them.
The majority of these youngsters are either being taught in white schools or they are not receiving a racial education, hence they are badly in need of the teachings of Garveyism to let them know from whence they came and whither they ought to go. Garveyism also needs them, as the students of any movement for the oppressed are like the perennial flowers of a garden—lasting and hardy. They have two parts to play—as youths and as grown-ups; therefore they make two contributions to the organization. The juveniles make three, but if there is one student unit, after they reach fourteen or fifteen years they drift into the general membership unrecognized and therefore they lose interest.
Gone are the days when "youngsters should be seen and not heard"; they are very much heard nowadays, and their chatter should be directed in the right channels. The young minds need wholesome topics and clean atmosphere. So we appeal to all the divisions and chapters of this great organization in every nook and corner of the globe to start a campaign for students. Don't be jealous of young Bains outshining yours. What we want is results, not competition and rivalry.
One of the many attractions to be instituted for the students should be a monthly discussion, conducted entirely by them, at which the general public of the community should be invited. So as to make the discussions uniform for all divisions, we will publish the subject the first week in every month. Anyone can send us subjects appropriate for discussion. The students taking part in the discussion should read up on the subject for a week after it is announced and before the discussion takes place. Art exhibitions, musicales and plays could be staged, at which the students could be featured. We leave it to the enterprising officers of locals to get busy and gather in the youngsters and when they are in the fold to hold their interest and employ their talent. They will be the men and women of tomorrow, so shape their minds for the great task.
May we also remind you to give publicity to the discussions. Young folks like to be mentioned print

Reciprocity's Ghost Stalks Again
Time was when a leading American statesman loose talk about the United States mannexing Canada brought about a sudden revolution of feeling in the Dominion that swept down to defeat the Taft - Laurier reciprocity pact in a wave of approhension, that the big United States was bent on gobbling up little Canada. "No Trade or Truck with the Yankees" carried the day. Nearly two decades pass and again a Liberal Canadian, Primo Minister, Mr. Mackenzie King, suggests a little dent, at least, on the tariff wall between the United States and Canada might be a good thing for all concerned. Perhaps it's a case of "ono bit, twice, shy," but at any rate and one on either side of the border seems very hopeful that reciprocity will be achieved. It is only "the pale ghost of reciprocity" that one Canadian editor can see. Yet it is obvious that the idea will not down—Literary Digest.
Life's Four Stages
Life, it seems to me, divides itself into four parts.
The Ago of Dependence..
The Ago of Preparation.
The Ago of Achievement.
The Ago of Possession—or Poverty.
The Ago of Dependence ends, usually, when one is about 18. In many cases, of course, it ends much earlier: Achievement is the child of Preparation! So is Possession.
Each age has its own problems, duties and privileges, which it shares with no other age. Dependence, for example, is not very much interested in marriage, politics or profit. Preparation is. So is Achievement. So, too is Possession, though not so much so as Achievement—J. M. Campbell.
"Divorce should be made as easy as marriage. When two people find that they are not suited to each other, they should be given their freedom. The laws of our nation permit a man to marry in any State. The securing of their freedom should be equally simple. "How an imaginary state like can make a difference when a man is a citizen of the United States is impossible to understand. If Nevada can make men and women happier by a three-months residence stay, she should have it." - Elko Tree Press.
The Privilege of Being Useful
I suppose if I were asked what is the best thing one can expect out of life, I would say—the privilege of being useful. For when all is said and done I think that no one can expect more out of life than to be of some real use by the world and to other people. Most persons want to be happy in life, but to me being happy is a matter entirely of individual character. If one has the temperament for it, one will be happy without, apparently, any reason for happiness, even with every reason against serenity, whereas I think one can be unhappy and have, apparently, everything in the world—Mrs. F. Roosevelt.
Rogues Only Respect Force
As the plenary session of the Washington Conference, Mr. Balfour, acting on behalf of the British Government, publicly announced Britain's decision to return the British naval base at Welshwell, on the Shantung coast, to China. Mr. Balfour's offer was made immediately following the Japanese decision to return the Klawwah Bay area to China, and the effect was tremendous.
"But how many five years have elapsed and the actual transfer of the Woolalwel area had not been made, and this despite the fact that the Japanese immediately carried out their bargain to get out of Shantung. The British have argued that they were unable to carry out the transfer of Woolalwel on account of the lack of a Chinese government to deal with, but the Japanese were able to conclude their negotiations without very much difficulty. Accordingly, the Chinese again have been given grounds for distrusting the efficacy of diplomatic negotiations with the West. Hence, what fair-minded person can help but promises when it is forced to do no sympathetic with the Chinese contention that the West only lives up to its China Weekly Record.

Says Orient Will Evolve a Christianity Far Superior to the West
Lonniig Sweet, an American missionary, recently reported a very interesting interview with Dr. T. T. Lew, a Chinese Christian, and in order to acquaint our readers with the importance of the utterances of this gentlemen so quote Mr. Sweet's record of his scholastic honors:
Certainly none have carried off more scholastic honors. During his first year the next few years, at least, upon three factors:
"The first of those is the missionary. For Christianity is still looked upon as a foreign religion and the church will be largely judged by the missionary for years to come. Today one hears but little criticism of Christ and His teaching. There is however, much bitterness against the church, and those who have brought it.
"One of the principal charges of the anti-Christian movement is that the missionary is a forerunner who opens up the road for the exploitation of his Government. There may be no but little truth in this, but the demand of large indemnities when missionaries have been killed by bandits, the appeal to the Consul for the protection of the native Christians in lawsuits, and the demand of territory for missionaries killed have given support to the charge. Happily these practices, which were fairly prevalent in some quarters twenty-five years ago, have largely been discontinued. But the memory of them finger.
Western Civilization Imperial
"And it does not help matters when educated Chinese read things into the following in a book by a missionary who lived sixty-five years in China and who was one of the Christian leaders. He wrote after the Boxer trouble of 1800: 'For China, complete independence is neither possible, nor admissible. China might concede us the island of Hainan; a stepping stone between Hongkong and the Philippines. If an island is not desirable, a support on the mainland will give us all that is needed; namely, a shelter for our naval squadrons a post where our armies may rendezvous in case they are required either to oppose the absorption of China by some grazing power, or to quell another unrising against civilization such as we are now witnessing."
After the World War, and with industrial strife, luxury and 'efficiency' supreme in the East, the Chinese, even though they may believe that Christ was one of the greatest of all teachers, are not sure that Western civilization is morally better than their own. And they are not sure but that the missionaries are propagating westernism rather than true Christianity. They say those who send the missionaries have a 'superiority' - complex, when there is no foundation for it. There is much truth in this. For does not the Western Christian sing: 'From many an ancient river from
From many an ancient giver, from
many a philhyl plihl.
many in phantasy paint.
They are to deliver their land from
error's hand.
Shall we, whose souls are lighted with
wisdom on high.
Can we to men benefited the lamp of love, please?
Chinese Must Lead Chinese
"The Orient already is in advance of the West in lay of peace, the will to find and follow the right by reason rather than by force, tolerance patience, and the ability to take a long view. If to this we can add the knowledge of a loving father who cares for his children, a social conscience, and the Christian doctrine of the worth of the individual, the Orient many evolve a new understanding of Christianity which will be as far above yours as yours is that of the dark ages, and which may help build a truly Christian world.
"With the new nationalism which has come, the missionary can be a leader." He is a foreigner, and except among his few chosen friends he can never live that down. Nor in the present state of the Chinese church need he be the promoter, evangelist, or executive; there are Chinese who can do that better than he. What we Chinese Christians need today is a coach who will have much the same relation as the coach of a football team. It is the coach who helps each individual member of the team to understand and see the spirit of the game, who shows him his weak points, who encourages him to do his best. It is the coach who trains the group in team work. But when the game is being played the coach stays off the field. If they win, the glory is the team's. If they lose, there is the coach to name. The Chinese need someone who will still take the knocks for a while, and the missionary should belong as Sherwood Eddy puts it, to "The Royal Order of Door Mata."
"Today we need the help and fellowship of foreign Christians in China I hope we always will. Because a child has grown up shall we say that his parents are of no use to him."
"The second factor which will determine the future of Christianity in China is the quality of the spiritual life of the Chinese Christian Church itself. It depends upon whether that institution can raise up leaders of ability who intellectually and morally can command the respect of the educated class."

Lonnie Sweet, an American missionary, recently reported a very interesting interview with Dr. T. T. Lew, a Chinese Christian, and in order to acquaint our readers with the importance of the utterances of this gentlemen so quote Mr. Sweet's record of his scholastic honors:
Certainly none have carried off more scholastic honors. During his first year in America he won the Horace Russell psychology prize at the University of Georgia. Later at Columbia, he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, then the highest merit scholarship at Union Theological Seminary. graduation magna cum laude from Yale Divinity School, a Phi N.D. from Columbia. In 1920 the first Chinese to teach in an American theological seminary, he became a member of the faculty at Union Seminary in New York City. In 1921 he returned to China.
When I heard that Dr. Lew had come back to America, I sought him. Graduate of Yale Divinity School, dean of the school of Theology in Peking University, former head of the Graduate School of Education in the Chinese Government Teachers' College, active in almost every educational national and Christian movement in China; friend of the missionaries and the anti-Christians, he if any one, could answer my question: Has Christianity a future in China? Call me, with good reason the busiest man in China. Dr. Lew has been sent to the United States for a year of rest and recuperation. But I went to his room twice a day for five days before I finally ran across him by chance at a meeting.
"I have just returned from addressing a conference at Atlantic City, where I went from Milwaukee," he told. "Tomorrow I must spend all morning in dictation. In the afternoon I have to outline courses I am to give at Union Seminary and at Yale next term, and I am to take dinner with Dr. Hu Shu (the leader of the Chinese renalasthenic movement). But can you come around to my room at 10 30 in the evening?"
When I did so I found in Lew getting out his suit case, preparatory to leaving for another conference. While he packed we talked. "Christianity in China stands today at the starting of the ways," he said.
White Atropos
"The Chinese people have not forgotten that a Christian nation, Germany, made the killing of two missionaries an excuse for the seizure of the Province of Shantung, the home of Confucius. We have not forgotten that a Christian nation, France, at the very moment when she was fighting for freedom, seized the Chinese police in a part of Tientsin which she coveted for herself, throw them into jail and took the property. We have not forgotten that a Christian nation, Britain forced opium upon our country. Nor have we forgotten that when the soldiers of the Christian nations came in during the Boxer troubles, women in Beijing committed suicide by the thousands to save their honor, and the city was given over to pillage. We Chinese also remember that an late as 1910, a Christian nation, the United States, under a President, the son of a Presbyterian minister, disregarded all her promises and gave Shantung over to Japan. Those and many other things we have not forgotten. "If this conduct be the fruits of 2,000 years of Christianity, says China, we want none of it."
The Paganism of Europe
"Then, what of commercial life in the so-called Christian country? We hear that in America, a Christian land, a man tried to run his business on the basis of 'Love thy neighbor us yourself and every one thought that he was mad or had some hidden motive. And what of their luxury—a car for one man in every five—when people are starving here? Some of our people make 16 cents a day working in the western factories in Shanghai. The companies pay over 100 per cent divends a year. The dividends go for the purchase of automobiles for their foreign stockholders."
"Look at Christianity. See how the Christians in the treaty ports love us, you slave of the imperialists," say our patrons.
"See how they love us in Shanghai where we Chinese pay 80 per cent of the taxes in the international settlement, and cannot even enter the public park there."
"Today," said Dr. Lew, "the hardest thing that the missionary and the Chinese Christian have to combat is the paganism of the so-called Christian West. If Christianity falls in the East one great reason will be because America and Europe have failed. Because we Orientalists know you too well. Missionary a Forerunner of Exploitation.
"Whether Christianity will flourish for a day in China and then pass away, as it has passed before, or whether it will go from strength to strength, and that great Eastern republic become Christian depends, for

"How I love people who say what they think" cried the great Voltaire. And if they really did think, they'd be worth loving. But the vast majority of men don't think at all. They only think they think.
"A widespread conspiracy exists to prevent the masses from thinking. Those who dominate the earth are well aware that the prevalence of thought would destroy their dominance. So they plot together to propagate and enpurate mental sloth.
The plan of campaign is to put opinions into the people's minds, and to keep ideas out.
Schools and colleges are founded with that object in view. Teachers ventional commonplaces and accepted files and prejudices, but do not start the machinery of thought, for that would be exceedingly dangerous to accepted wrongs and ensnared errors and the Kingdom of Things An They Are.
Newspapers are circulated in countless millions to substituteinking for thinking. Opinions are injected into the heads of the multitude of the littering scribes of the ascendant classes, and it is done with the utmost caution, last accidentally the molecules of the brain should be seen in motion.
Thus it is that many men go through life without ever giving their intellects a show, without once gathering up the materials of cognition and forming an idea.
To think is the high prerogative of the human race. It constitutes their claim to pre-eminence in the science of creation. Yet thinking is so seldom done! It is absolutely unpopular.
People read, people talk, people vote, people dogmatize, people condemn and aplaud. But people don't think.

THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS
The nomination and election of officers for the term of 1827 and 1828 of Guachapall Chapter No. 14 of the U. N. I. A. and C. L. took place on Wednesday, March 9, at the Liberty Hall in Guachapall. Fortunately for the members, the international organizer, Madamo de Mena, was present and occupied the chair during election. There were in our midst President Stevens of the San Plus district President Mitchel of Colon and Misa De Mena, daughter of the assistant international organizer, who addressed the members. Recorded on that day was the death of a stained Gardener, Ferdinand Robinson, who saw with love his vision and was ever ready to aid the cause. His last request was that his body be requested to Liberty Hall after death. His request was carried out, and the body lay in state from 9 p. m. on Wednesday to Thursday, afternoon at 4 p. m., when it was removed to the St. Vincent de Paul Church. The U. N. I. A. ceremony was ably performed by the chaplain, Mr. Greenidge. The large number of members who made it consent to pay their last respects to the deceased brother bore testimony of his loyalty to the cause of his Mika Redeemer. May his spirit aid in bringing the release of our leader, Marcus Garvey, and the redemption of Africa, the cause for which he labored and loved. Sunday evening, March 15, Liberty Hall was the scene of a most impressive ceremony, witnessed by the members and friends of the U. N. I. A. when the officers elect Chapter 14 were installed into their respective offices by Madamo M. L. T. De Mena, assistant international organizer.
The elected officers took their seats in the first row of seats, specially placed so that they were facing the membership for that saturni. Mr N. W. Collins, former first vice-president, occupied the chair during the preliminaries. The religious ceremony was performed by Mr. Greigande, chaplain, who in his usual way impressed his hearers. His text was taken from St. Matthew, Chapter 22. Mr. Collins briefly, commanded the officers elected and members for the unswerving loyalty to Carvey and the Association during the past years, and urged that they again decide on this their installation night whether they will continue to serve God and Carvey and no other. He then very befittingly introduced the international organizer as the Missress of ceremonies. On rising, Madame De Mena presented a calendar of the U. N. A. A sent by Hon Fred A Toute, acting president general to the Gunquapoli Chapter. She gave a brief history of the life of each person pictured on the calendar, after which the choir rendered an anthem while the officers elect ascended the rostrum for the installation.
On the platform were two legions with "the standard and a sword, in token of the solemnity of the vow to be taken" The bishop "Jesus Keep Me at the Throne" was sung. After the singing of the bona fide the sow was taken by the officers kneeling and the audience sang "Where Garvey Leads Me, I Will Follow" The chaplain offered prayer, asking God's blessing on the newly installed officers. The international organization declared the staff of officers duly installed, and the literary side of the evening's program was opened with the inaugural address of the president.
Miss Agnes Alexander, a girl of four summers, resided "The Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers," which gained for her a loud, and lengthy applause, Mr. Paynter rendered a solo which was loudly applauded. Miss Cadgay gave an interesting address on "The Movement. High imprecation was shown by the loud applause given her. Another young woman in the person of Miss Muriel Edgish entertained with a piano selection. The only boy to serve on this occasion was Master Toppin, who gave a regulation "Today and Tomorrow." Following was the vocal selection by Miss Jones. The audience contributed literally to the collection which was taken during the singing of the hymn "Stand Up. Stand Up for Jesus." The choreologist efforts of the Misses M. Thompson and Rosa Alexander were received with loud applause, also the anthems by the choir, which were thunderously applauded. The speaker of the evening was Mdane M. L. T. De Meum. She wrote amid tumultuous cheers and, as on all occasions, she captivated her hearers in her talk "The Movement, the Leader and the Followers." There was much inspiration to be gained from her talk on the organization and its members. She took her seat amid rousing cheers. The hymn "God, be with You" was then sung in token of her departure for Costa Rica. The mass meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the Ethiopian Anthem
