The Negro World

PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U. S. A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1927 AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT COOLIDGE CHIEF EXECUTIVE IS ENTREATED BY THE NEGRO RACE TO RELEASE MARCUS GARVEY FROM PRISON AND THEREBY PRESERVE THE GREAT TRADITIONS OF LIBERTY-LOVING AMERICA Hon. Calvin Coolidge, The White House, Washington, D. C. My dear Mr. President: The Negro World, the accepted mouthpiece of the awakened Negro, desires once again to invite your honored consideration of a matter which vitally concerns the welfare of the whole Negro race, included in which are fifteen million loyal, law-abiding citizens of America. As the executive head of the greatest and richest country in the world, yours is indeed a great responsibility. In your hands, in a measure, lie the peace and happiness of millions of members of the human race, your influence for good or evil extending far beyond the confines of these shores. To you millions look daily for light and leading; you are to millions, to some consciously, to others unconsciously, what the barometer and the compass are to the seafarer—you signalize fair weather or foul, you indicate where the good ship should be headed: you furnish the cue to conduct. Yours, we repeat, is a tremendous responsibility. In your care is civilization's child, civilization's blessings, to cherish and to conserve, or to strangle and negate. Ward of so great a trust, you, least of all, can afford to be deaf to the rumblings of world conscience; you will not ignore the wishes and entreaty of the liberal of the earth; you must abhor the mere thought that millions shall appeal to you in vain, millions of men and women who, to seek a higher judgment seat than yours, must needs approach the very throne of the Deity. Eight years ago a black man, Marcus Garvey, came to this brave land. He had a message for Negroes, not Negroes of America, not Negroes of the West Indies and South and Central America, not Negroes of the Isles of the Sea, not Negroes of Africa, but all Negroes, wherever domiciled. It was natural that he should choose the land of Washington and Lincoln and Jefferson as the pulpit from which to preach his gospel; he had come to save, to emancipate, to point a race, the maligned, the abused, the downtrodden Negro race, the way to true freedom and independence; his thesis was Industry and Self-help; his rally cry was "Africa for the Africans, those at home and those abroad." The people heard him gladly. His name became enshrined in their hearts. He reared the greatest Negro organization the world has ever seen, an organization that still stands against the fury of almost hell itself, a monument to his genius, his vision; to the logic and righteousness of his doctrines. And he was waylaid, as it were, trapped by the technicalities of a law whose authors did not, could not contemplate that such as he would be numbered among its victims. It is this man, Marcus Garvey, now serving a term of five years in Atlanta penitentiary, in whose behalf you are besought to exercise clemency. Millions of Negroes entreat you to release him; an entire race will be grateful to you. Liberalism requires and Justice demands it. What will your answer be? LONG, LONG AGO SHOULD AFRICA HAVE HACKED AT THE COILS OF THE HYDRA-HEADED ENGLISHMAN African Newspaper on the Gold Coast, Now the "Cacao Coast," Warns the Natives Against Relying Upon the Heartless Englishman for Civilized Treatment and Assistance BRITISH STATESMEN TELL THE SHAMEFUL TRUTH Africa Must Be Developed by Africans for Englishmen—Access to the Arts and Sciences Must Be Denied Ambitious Youth—Mediaeval Conditions to Obtain Politically The public utterances of responsible English statesmen like Mr. Ormsby-Gore, Sir Frederick Lugard and others about the development of Africa and its inhabitants give us a clear indication as to the role which Englishmen would have the black man fill in world affairs, and the time has come for us to consider seriously whether it is prudent on our part to continue to follow the leadership of the Englishman and to look to him for assistance in the development of the race. These English statement, who exerci a great influence in colonial affairs have not left us in doubt as to the lines along which they would have the African to develop. They would have the natives trained solely as the producers of the raw materials required for the factories in Europe. Mr Ormsby-Gore has told us plainly that the more we acquire European culture—the more we try to make ourselves efficient in the art and sciences—the more we incur the illwill of the Englishman; and in a lecture before the Royal Geographical Society a few days ago he deplored the introduction of English law and procedure into West Africa. Mr. Rhya has openly slandered the members of the legal profession in West Africa, whilst Sir Frederick Lugard has ridiculed the idea of encouraging natives to direct their ambitions to the bar, the pulpit and other professions and to the legislature. We think that these are sufficient indications as to the position which the majority of Englishmen would have the natives occupy in the British Empire. They are anxious enough to have our country developed with railways, roads and harbors to the twenteth century standard, but they wish its inhabitants to remain under medieval conditions politically and socially. And when we have men like Sir Frederick Lugard and men like Ormsby-Gore as members of the Advisory Committee on Native Education to the Colonial Office, which has the control of native education, including that at Achimota, we can estimate the value of the culture that is being prescribed for the black man. But there is reason for the mental attitude of the types of Englishman represented by the gentlemen referred to. They realize that the salvation of Europe depends upon Africa, where alone can be derived the raw materials to meet European requirements and that these products can only be acquired with native labor, and they consider that if the natives are permitted to maintain the rapids progress they are making in educational attainments they will soon cease to be the hewers of wood and drawers of water for the white man—the very position which Sir Frederick Lugard and others are anxious that the black man should occupy permanently. And with this clear indication of the mental attitude of responsible English statesmen towards the development of the natives, the question arises whether it is prudent on our part to continue to follow the Englishman and to depend on him. Very likely Booker Washington posed a similar question to himself on observing the struggles of the members of his race to reach the standard of the white race in the arts and sciences, and that it was his realization of the utter futility of relying on the Anglo-Saxon race for assistance in this direction that induced him to found the Tuskegee Institute. In a recent issue we dealt with the matter and pointed out that the way of the economic and political salvation lies in the establishment.

We emphasize all what we said and we would beg our people to ponder the subject, for we are convinced that it is only along that line that we can ensure our progress. We have looked to the Englishman long enough for assistance; it is time that we began to work out our own salvation. The following insight into conditions on the Gold Coast, where England is now busy building a harbor with native labor to further exploit the resources of the country, is given by the following appeal of Dr. Hayford, a direct descendant of the line of West African kings, now on a visit to America: West Africa is surely in need of more educational and benevolent agencies, says the Rev. Dr. Mark C. Hayford, who has come to America to present the case of his countrymen and to plead for the financial assistance necessary to the furtherance of the civilizing work to which he has devoted his life. Dr. Hayford, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, is founder and head of the largest church and mission of native origin on the Gold and Ivory-Coasts and is the son of a Negro minister. He is also a direct descendant of the line of West African kings. The church and mission—Baptist in principle but interdenominational in its work—has forty-five stations. Education and sanitation are vital concerns. As a pioneer in the former field, he is the president of the School and Training College, which has been established for "the preparation of men and women for the evangelization and education of the Gold Coast and other parts of West Africa, and for the dissemination of useful knowledge among the masses there." This institution provides for 296 students of all grades, several of whom have already passed the London College of Preceptors' examinations with distinction. The aim is to qualify a number for mission, pastoral and educational work. The Christian Army Some idea of the dearth of educational facilities in that part of the world may be had from the fact that, although on the Gold Coast alone there is a school population conservatively estimated at 300,000, fewer than 40,000 can be taken care of at present. Conditions on the Ivory Coast are even worse. One of the chief objectives of the School and Training College is to save the coming generation from ignorance and disease. The problem of the children of European and African parentage is also an urgent one that demands solution. Connected with the church and mission of Dr. Hayford is an organization known as the Christian Army of the Gold Coast, which has for its purpose reclamation and benevolent work among the masses. He says that hundreds of thousands live in very sanitary surroundings. The towns are often without underground sewerage of any kind, and have few or no hospitals. There is an alarmingly high death rate, especially among infants in the country regions. According to the best medical estimates, this death rate is between 300 and 400 per 1,000 births. Dr. Hayford has been made a member of the Royal Sanitary Institute and a Fellow of the London Federation of Medical and Allied Services in recognition of his hygienic labors in British West Africa. An endowment of $500,000 is being sought as the minimum needed to insure the future of the School and Training College; $50,000 is needed for a chapel and $55,000 for a home and mission hospital for the sick and destitute. Both President Coolidge and President Doumergue of France have received Dr. Hayford and endorsed his work among his countrymen. King George V. sent a message stating that he "more than realizes the remarkable work achieved by him on behalf of the spiritual and material welfare of the people of the Gold and Ivory Coast of West Africa." The America, endorsers of Dr. Hayford's work include Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury; Bishop Manning, Dr. F. Parkes Cadman, Dr. Charles P. Jefferson, George W. Wickersham, George A. Pimpton and Mim Jane Addams. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1987 The following telegram was received on Monday, the 9th inst. from Mr. J. A.

AFTERMATH OF THE BORNO BAN Two Marine Officers, Chief and Assistant of Haitian Gendarmes Recalled—Russell Explains WASHINGTON, D. C. May 9. Although officially the government paid no attention to President Borno's order barring Senator King of Utah from Haiti last March, on the ground that the senator was "an active agent for the most misbehaviour and irresponsible political element in Haiti," unofficially the ax of military disfavor has fallen. This was learned when orders of the marine corps, published in the Army and Navy Register, showed that two marine officers had been relieved from duty at Port au Prince and that the United States commissioner, Brig. Gen. John H. Russell, is in Washington at the present time, apparently explaining exactly what happened. At the time that Halif took its stand against him, Senator King charged that the United States military in the tropical republic was responsible for Borno's stand, and that General Russell could easily have had him admitted had Russell desired to do so. Opposed Marine Occupation Senator King had been noted for his opposition to the use of the United States marines in settling disputes in the Latin-American republic. In recent months he has been critical of the United States' attitude in both Haiti and Nicaragua. The two marine officers detached from duty in Haiti are Col. J. S. Turrill and Col. W. C. Harlee, chief and assistant, respectively, of the Haitian gendarmes. Col. Frank Evans and Maj. W. F. Bevan, both marine officers, have been ordered to relieve them. SLAVE CHURCH PASSES Landmark of Civil War Days at Lee, Mass., Will Be a Garage LEE, Mass., May 4—"The Old Slave Church," an historical landmark of the town since Civil War days, passed into history yesterday when Martin Mahan took possession of the property, which he will convert into a garage. The property, formerly owned by the American Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, was auctioned off yesterday under a foreclosure mortgage. An interesting history is attached to the old landmark. It was the gathering place for the slaves and later for the emancipated, in the days of Abraham Lincoln, and had for its pastor several men who were born in bondage, including the Rev. L. H. Floyd, personal servant to General Floyd of the Southern forces. Old residents were recalling today the eventful Sunday forty-seven years ago when a split occurred in the congregation under the pastorate of the Rev. C. M. Ackworth, resulting in a battle with axes between the Ackworth and Freeman factions, ending in a draw. A French Distaste The young Frenchman of today is said, despite his natural qualifications, to be disinclined to accept employment as a professional mannequin, compelling Paralian tailors to seek such service among other nationalities.

Negro Hanged, His Body Dragged Through Streets, Riddled With Bullets and Burnt by Mob Latest Manifestation of Hatred Comes After Alleged Attack With Crow Bar on White Women LITTLE ROCK, Ark. May 4. The body of a Negro who had been hanged and riddled with bullets for an attack upon a white woman and her daughter early today, tonight was dragged behind an automobile through the main street of the city and then saturated with gasoline and burned at one of the principal business corners in the Negro section while thousands of persons looked on. As the flames leaped into the air the firing of guns mingled with the cries of women and children fleeing from the scene. Negroes scattered as the mob dragged the body to the corner and made a bonfire of it. Police, outnumbered, directed traffic, which congested the streets for blocks around the scene. The Negro, John Carter, aged 22, surrounded by a mob numbering several thousand men, who found him in a tree after an all-day search, confessed that he had attacked Mrs. B. E. Stewart and her 17-year-old daughter Glennie with an iron bar as they rode along the road near the city in a wagon early today. The mob sent for Miss Stewart and waited for her to arrive. She was said to have identified him in the man who attacked her, after which Carter was led to a pole, a rope fastened about his neck. Told to climb on top of an automobile, the Negro tried, but was too frightened or too weak. He was then pushed atop the car and it was driven from under him. As the Negro swing in the air he was riddled with bullets from a volley. Her head in bandages from the attack of the morning. Miss Stewart was said to have been within sight of the lynching. National Guard troops, with one company already mobilized, were held in readiness tonight awaiting orders from Governor Martineau should race trouble result from the lynching today of John Carter, Negro. Race Riots Threaten LITTLE ROCK, Ark. May 4—Troops of the Arkansas National Guard were ordered out by Governor Martineu tonight to prevent further race trouble in Little Rock following the lynching and burning of a Negro, who earlier today had attacked two white women. Lynching of another Negro tonight was threatened when he was found armed in a huge crowd which congregated in the Negro section, where the body of John Carter, 22-year-old Negro, was dragged and burned after he had been hanged in the woods near the city. MISSIONARIES IN CHINA DENYING THE FAITH The Murder of a Single American in Nanking Causes "Proconsuls of Christ" to Reverse Themselves The following letter from the pen of of Mr. Paul C. Meng, the young Chinese student, who on May 2 addressed a mass meeting of the New York members at Liberty Hall, is reproduced from the New York World: To the Editor of the World: Many are happy now that the Hunanese did murder an American in Nanking. Since the Nanking incident many American missionaries in Shanghai have consured the National Christian Council of China for its sympathy toward the Nationalist movement. Yesterday the New York Times published a statement by twelve American missionaries from Nanking, saying that they had lost their faith in the Nationalists. Heretofore the Nationalist, to these same missionaries, have been struggling for sovereignty and democracy. Now they are hateful persecutors of Christianity and Christian missionaries. Before the Nanking incident these missionaries were opposed to the sending of armed forces by America to China on principle. Now they believe that the British and American gunboats are after all very useful. One American was murdered in Nanking. These missionaries suffered loss and humiliation. It is so "human" for them to have changed their mind. This caused them to say that "imperialism" and "unequal treaties" are merely catchwords. They forgot that in Shanghai, Shamen and Wanhsan the foreign armed forces had murdered over 1,000 Chinese students and civilians. Apparently in great excitement they also left their New Testaments in Nanking. Many are rejoicing over the Nanking incident now. The Communists are happy, for they can say, "We told you that the missionaries were allies of the imperialists." Those Englishmen who criticized the Americans for sowing the needs of discontent in China are chuckling over a good joke. Probably the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai is the happiest of all. Why, the Nanking tragedy has become a blessing in disguise, it has converted the idealists to sanction their gunshot policy. But the Chinese Christians are confused. Did they not believe that these missionaries were representatives of Jesus? PAUL C. MENG. A Chinese Student. New York, April 27. CHEN HURLS DEFIANCE AT POWERS ON THREAT TO BLOCKADE HANKOW; GIVES LUCID ANALYSIS OF ISSUES CLUTCHING HAND IN EAST AFFRICA White Settlers Desire Federation of Colonies With Marjority Control of Natives in Legislature LONDON. May 3.—The formation of a federation of East African self-governing British colonies to comprise Uganda, Kenya, Tanganyika and Northern Rhodesia is reported under discussion. Uganda is a protectorate, Tanganyike is a mandate of the League of Nations and Kenya and Rhodesia are crown colonies. The move is said to be inspired by the white settlers, who wish sufficient seats in the various legislative councils to give them a clear majority over the natives. In 1822, the discontent of the white settlers in Kenya had increased to such an extent that there were threats of rebellion and there is again talk of revolt should the British government fail to approve the plans for the merger. At present the race problem is most acute in Kenya, where, in addition to a large native population, there are 11,000 Europeans and about 24,000 Indians, represented in the Legislative council by eleven and five members, respectively. A deputation of Asiatics from Kenya has come to London to protect the Kenya Indian interests, but the home government's attitude in regard to the proposed merger has not been revealed. Should this new federation be formed it eventually would become a candidate for admission to the League of Nations with a seat and a vote in the Assembly. The chief technical difficulty in the way of the scheme is that Tanganyika, as a League mandate, would have to get League approval to enter the federation. Rioting in India Develops in Serious Hindu-Moslem Affray LAHORE, British India, May 5e The communal rioting in Lahore which began yesterday afternoon has developed into a Hindu-Moslem affray and so far there have been 200 casualties. The Sikhs, who were primarily responsible for the outbreak, are taking only a minor part. The fighting now mostly consists of guerrilla warfare in the alleys and lanes of the city, and patrols are continually bringing in casualties. Some of the wounded lay in the streets all night, abandoned by their assailants, while their friends were afraid to go to their assistance. It was feared today that the incidents of yesterday, when Hindus stoned funeral processions and caused some thirty casualties, would be repeated, but the presence of a strong force of troops and police prevented such attacks. The rioting, however continued in the back streets, the Hindus throwing bricks from the housesteps at all and sundry below. A party of twenty-two Filiks attempting to enter the city today was arrested. It is alleged that they were all armed with daggers of an undue length. LAHORE, British India, May 5-8 Rioting broke out again last night in several parts of the city when thousands of Moslems were returning from the funeral of three Mohammednada, who were killed in a clash between Sikhs and Moslems Tuesday night. Ten persons were killed and more than thirty injured. Five Are Killed at Rikhabded LONDON, May 5.—Five persons were killed and sixteen seriously injured in a riot at a temple in Bikhabed, in the state of Udapur, in Northwestern India, says an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Bombay. About 160 persons were less seriously injured. The dispatch says that the riot followed a dispute over the right to hoist a flag on the temple.

Chen added that he does not think a blockade is possible unless the world has gone mad. "If it happens," he said, "we still have rice, and being self-sustaining, can hold out indefinitely." Chen voiced a popular question among the Chinese as well as foreigners when he asked the reason for the presence of more than thirty warships off Hankow, decriing this show of force as "an emphatic indication of the clutch of foreign imperialism at the throat of China." But he did not intimate that he was planning a protest. ern expedition—the conquest of the national power and authority." This could not be encompassed at Shanghai. Chen added. Returning to the question of the attitude of the powers toward China, he asserted that the powers are defeating their own end in sending troops to Shanghai. "You seek to defend property and lives," he said, "but you are creating more hard feeling among the masses than all our propaganda ever could. He asserted, however, that the warships were "strengthening the hands of the Hankow Government by nourishing the spirit of nationalism and thus gaining supporters for the revolution." He said he seeks to end what is regarded as intolerable oppression and interference with the rule of his own country. "The national power will be our soon," he asserted. "Unless America decides otherwise, we wish always to greet her as a friend who interposed the Hny doctrine and secured some respite for a nation then under international pillage." Bays We Are Making a Mistake He declared that America is making a grat mistake in following Great Britain in the Orient and urged "sanity among the Powers" in their attitude to the Nationalists. During an interview of more than an hour with the New York Times correspondent, Chen, a voluble, nervously energetic little man of middle age, dramatically discussed the aims and aspirations of the Kuomintang, at least the section which is here. The interview was held in the spacious reception room of the office of the Salt Gaxell building on the Bund in the former German concession. Chen described Shanghai the "centre reaction and the haunt of political lepers, where one must either become the tool of foreign imperialism or, if one has guts, come into armed conflict with it." "The Nationalist objective can only be achieved," he said, "by defeating the enemy on the front decisively, followed by the Nationalist occupation of Peking, where historic wrongs must be redeemed and the period of subjection and national humiliation come to an end." He added that the Hankow Northern expedition continues to march on the Mongolian encampment known as Peking, leaving other forces of the revolution to deal with the lepros limb of Shanghai. Chen aroused the idea that the Hankow Government is Communist, "unless the great Nationalist task of destroying Chinese feudalism and freeing the country from foreign imperialism is an adventure in Communism." He insisted on this point, he said, not because of a desire "to solicit American assistance, or even sympathy, but in the interest of truth and history and the amity between China and America. He Explains the Issues He said that Chiang Kai-shek's charges of Communist domination of Wuhan (Hankow) is an attempt to confuse the point at issue. "The question is not Communism versus anti-Communism, or Kuomintang versus Communism." he declared. "The actual issue between Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang involves the entire basis of Nationalist political thought and practice. "The latter categorically rejects the feudal conception of a one-man government in favor of the alternative conception of a modern government resting on a strong party foundation. Chiang Kai-shek, however, stands for personal authority and personal government. "This is the real issue. And formulated in those terms there would be one decisive judgment from Nationalist China on the issue, namely, the utter condemnation of Chiang Kai-shek. This explains his attempt to paint the issue Red." Chen declared that the defection of Chiang Kai-shek does not affect the position of the Nationalist Government vitally, asserting that its military strength is intact on the decisive front in Human Province. "Among the forces on this front," he said, "is the Fourth Army, known as the Iron Army, which conquered its way to Wuhan and enabled the Nationalist Government to reach the Yangtse River. We are entering the final stage of the campaign that is the realization of the objective of the North- He Explains the Issues Shanghai, May 6.—Eugene Chen, declared this afternoon that in the age River, the powers would suffer cause the latter would instantly con- boycott and blockade which mightation.

Returning to the question of the attitude of the powers toward China, he asserted that the powers are defeating of their own end in sending troops to Shanghai. "You seek to defend property and lives," he said, "but you are creating more hard feeling among the masses than all our propaganda ever could. It is this foreign imperialism we are against. We want a free country and desire to end the super-Government that is now misruling China in the guise of Peking diplomats and run our own nation. "The United States is making a great error in following the British in China. We want to retain our traditional friendship with the American people, but Washington's policy does not live up to the kindly words of individuals. Criticizes Our Legation Staff "This, I think, is largely because certain members of the American legation and some Americans here are more anti-Nationalist than the typical British 'dileader.'" Chen declared that Hankow is chiefly concerned now with two things, namely, the military campaign and the economic situation. He said that the labor unions were undertaking to control the workers, and seeking to influence them not to make uneconomic demands. "We, as well as the unions, are advising the workers that it is advisable to seek, for example, a 100 per cent. increase in wages forthwith." Favoring a more gradual rise in the labor scale, he said, the unions had agreed to the more rational policy. Chen added that the Chinese want the foreigners to remain. He said the Nationalists are not anti-foreign but decidedly anti-imperialist. "If the foreigners believe China is too dangerous during the revolution, they may leave," he asserted, but said it was advenible not to depart, stating that the Nationalists offer adequate protection. Asked about Nanking, Chen replied that it is still a moot question. Hankow is not ready to accept guilt, he said, certainly not the allegation that the Nationalist authorities "deliberately organized the anti-foreign attack and looting." "We must have an inquiry in Nanking an suggested by my note," he declared. "It is the only civilized way to settle the guilt, and there should be no objection to such a plan." He again intimated the theory discarded by the foreigners at Nanking that the Northerners might be proved guilty, adding: "Approximate: 20,000 Northerners were captured on the night of March 24 as well as on the next day inside of Nanking's walls."

GARVEY AND THE JURY THAT TRIED HIM JURIES are supposed to base their verdicts in any given case on the evidence. It is conceded that the average American jury seeks always to base its conclusions upon the facts as brought out by the evidence; it is also admitted that juries can be influenced in many ways in the excitement and stress of a trial to find a verdict contrary to the evidence, and this without any prejudice against the accused. In short, it has been demonstrated time without number that juries are also human, and, therefore, subject to the common rule, that it is human to err. It is to be regretted that this has become a fact in the administration of justice and is the cause of much miscarriage of justice and suffering. We shall probably never arrive at a time when juries will differ much from the average person. That is to say, perfection is a thing we may all aspire to but which few if any can ever hope to attain to. It is of great moment to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that the third application to the President of the United States for a pardon for Hon. Marcus Garvey was backed up by the recommendation for clemency of nine of the twelve jurors before whom Mr. Garvey was tried in New York city and convicted on one count of many of using the mails to defraud. There is a very general belief that conviction on that one count was contrary to the evidence. Be that as it may, nine of the jurors have asked that clemency be extended in the case of Mr. Garvey, and that is a very great consideration, and must go far with the President. That is the general belief and hope. It is gratifying to all of the members of the association that the jurors were minded to make the recommendation for clemency, and the members are becomingly grateful to the jurors for their action. It should go a long way toward securing the desired pardon. There must be no letup in the general movement among the members of the association to secure a pardon for Mr. Garvey. We are told that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." And we also know that eternal protest, eternal agitation, is the way to secure clemency, to secure justice. God helps those who help themselves, we are told, and it is our business to help ourselves to the limit wherever our interests are concerned. That should be so without the saying, and we assume that it is, as far as the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are concerned, and especially in the matter of securing executive clemency for Hon. Marcus Garvey. CHINESE NATIONALISM EXPLAINED BY A CHINESE THE members of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association enjoyed a real treat Sunday evening, May 1, in Liberty Hall, when they were addressed at length on "China and the Nationalist Movement in China," by Mr. Paul C. Meng, General Secretary of the Chinese Students' Association of America, and we have no doubt the readers of The Negro World greatly enjoyed the report of Mr. Meng's address as published in the issue of May 7. It is natural for oppressed peoples to sympathize with each other in their troubles and in their efforts to get rid of those troubles, and that is why there is such close sympathy between the oppressed peoples of Asia and Africa and the Islands of the Seas in their protests and struggles against the arrogance and aggressions of the white races upon their lands and liberties. Mr. Meng showed that the Nationalist movement in China and the outcome of the encroachments of Europeans upon the lands and liberties of the Chinese people, and that a woman was one of the first martyrs to the cause, and that the movement originated with Chinese students and educated Chinese who had traveled far and studied much, as was the case with the late Sun Yat Sen, who devoted his life to the cause of Chinese independence and self-determination. He did for China what Mahatma Gandhi has done for India, and Marcus Garvey has done for Africa—the groused the slumbering masses of the people to a consciousness of their real values and the need to fight for the recovery of such as had been taken from them and for the retention of such as they retained but allowed to be frittered away because of ignorance and indifference. No people can have a greater service rendered them than that which Sun Yat Sen has rendered the Chinese, Mahatma Gandhi has rendered the people of India, and Marcus Garvey has rendered the people of Africa. This fact is coming to be understood and appreciated by the thoughtful people of the earth. Mr. Meng has sufficiently explained for us that China is one of the most ancient of existing nations and that its people have not been a warlike one, but a fast becoming one in order to save their ancient lands and liberties from the greed of the white races. The sentiment in giving world-wide acceptance that the Black, Brown and Red races have some rights which the white races are bound to respect, and that they will not respect those rights unless the wronged learn how to fight if they do not know how and fight. The white races are beginning to understand and regard the matter in this serious and important light, and the fast of its existence does not conduct themselves of mind and sense of security. The dark races of the world are beginning to think and moving towards mutual understanding and cooperation, and that is much gain. Those who take the opportunity to others should not be surprised when THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 2007 Many curious results follow from this. For instance, so far as the question of empathy is concerned, the son of a man's wife from one class and the daughter of his wife from another class may marry, though they are half-brother and sister; and a father may marry his own daughter. BY MARCUS GARVEY There's a dividing line, call it what you may, It separates the whites from the blacks each day. Nature made no passing, shadowy blunder When by race different people set asunder. You may try to patch a broken fence between. But one oneness of aim shall e'er be seen; For peace and happiness, it is the best. To group them nationally, one from the rest. Angels are separated by groups and files, Not because of superiority in lives, But to maintain heavenly rule and order, As desired by the Great, Holy Father. So in this physical, material life We are thus separated to prevent strife; Not because we are better than the other. But for the sake of others not to bother. Everyone should obey this grand human rule. And not others to reduce to our footstool. Justice should be for everyone we meet. As with charity and fellowship we greet. This would make a better and happier world With the banner of peace and love unfurled. No fair mortal man can think this unkind If he appreciates the bond of mankind. DEAN KELLY MILLER AND THE GARVEY MOVEMENT WE have read with interest and appreciation a magazine article by Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University, on the rise and progress of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, under the title, "After Marcus Garvey—What?" Dean Miller is one of the outstanding educators and authors of the race and his learning and experience give much weight to what he thinks. He has treated his subject in a broad and generous way, and while we do not agree with all of his deductions and conclusions, we are bound to give him credit for a broad-mindedness which has not always characterized the approach of American Negroes to Mr. Garvey and the primary objects of his plan of race salvation. Dean Miller concedes that the crowning achievement of Mr. Garvey has been the creation of a universal sentiment of organization and leadership of the Negro people of the world, with saving Africa to the Africans and the proper estimation and conservation of the social, civil and economic values of the race for the benefit of the race. That is a reduction of the whole matter to a statement of fact. No other Negro before him had the vision of African unity in organization and leadership, and no Negro or white man ever thought, as far as we know, that such a movement could be made to succeed among Negroes. In doing this Mr. Garvey aroused the suspicion and the fears of the European powers which have got control of Africa and are striving to destroy the Negro in his own country, as they have destroyed the Red Men of the Western Hemisphere, and the Malay and Polynesian races of the Pacific Ocean. That Mr. Garvey was able to do this speaks most loudly for his vision and ability in bringing vast bodies of the Negroes of the world to see as he saw and to follow where he would lead. Dean Miller sees all of this and gives it the appropriate emphasis. In concluding his article he says: "Now comes Marcus Garvey, if not with a new principle, at least with a new program. He preaches race independence, race efficiency and race sufficiency for the reclamation of Africa through political, industrial and social conquest. "He believes that philanthropy paralyzes the energies of the black peoples of the world and pauperizes their spirit. He has an unfathomable faith in the possibilities of his people. No greater vision has ever haunted the human mind. The accomplishment of the dream is worth a thousand years of the united endeavor of mankind. It is impossible to conceive of any task which will inure to greater advantage to the human race." Mr. Garvey has done for Africa what Mahatma Gandhi has done for India and Sun Yat Sen has done for China—he has sown the seed of racial integrity and racial Nationalism, and the seed will come ultimately to fruitage. That is the logical conclusion to be reached in considering all of the facts. MOB LAWLESSNESS AND THE FLOOD OF WATERS THE American system of mob law is one of the most dangerous that is allowed to exist and to do business. The opinion still exists in the Southern States which Chief Justice Roger B. Taney pronounced in 1856, in the case of Dred Scott versus Sanford, that "it is held to be good law and public opinion that a black man has no rights that a white man is bound to respect." That may have been true seventy-one years ago, but it is not so now, as a very great deal of water has gone over the dam since then, with the freedom of the slave and the enfranchisement of the person as facts of constitutional law, "prescribing what is right and prohibiting what is wrong," as Blackstone defines it. "The privileges and immunities of citizens" cannot be "denied or abridged" by the States without due process of law, and when they are those who are guilty of doing so defy constituted authority and should be held accountable for their acts. When this is not done the entire system of law and legal process is placed in danger of collapse. While the waters of the Mississippi River raged over and ravaged fifteen States and destroyed millions in property and hundreds of lives, and while Little Rock was one of the shock centers of the flood, a mob of 2,000 persons, at Little Rock, seized a Negro named Carter and riddled him with bullets and soaked his body in oil and burned it to a crisp. The man was dragged through the main street of the city behind an automobile, with the white mob surging and howling for his blood. He was only twenty-two years old, and he was not convicted in the legal way of any crime, but was immolated on alleged accusation only. It was not considered that he had any right to be tried by a jury of his peers. That sort of thing is not only barbarous in the extreme, but it is a menace to law and legal process which must react injuriously on the whole people. And what relation does the flood of waters in the Mississippi River States bear to the mob lawlessness and other legalized ways of ruling and robbing the Negro citizens of those States? Although we are a Christian nation, or profess to be, few if any can see any relation whatever between the flood of waters and the lawlessness which the people, are guilty of in dealing with their fellows, and which the people of the nation are made a part of when they accept it as being none of their business. It is their business. It is their business to throw the whole weight of their moral forces against such mob lawlessness and other violations of the Federal Constitution. When they do not hold it to be so they are held equally guilty and responsible by the Almighty God of the Republic. Looked at in this way, and it is the logical way to look at it, mob lawlessness in the Mississippi States and the flood of waters bear an invisible but indivisible relation. "Vengeance is mine. I will repay, saith the Lord." HEALTH TOPICS Heart Disease The wide publicity being given to the increase in the incidence of heart diseases should bring home to everyone the importance of taking care of his health. If you are physically fit, keep so by proper living and by going to a competent physician at least once every year for a complete health examination. If, however, you or your children or any member of your family have specific heart disease remember that. In many cases, heart damage can be overcome, if it is taken in time. Go to a doctor or a clinic for examination, as soon as you suspect there is something wrong. Have faith in the doctor's diagnosis and the treatment prescribed. Established heart disease (if it is properly cared for) in most cases can be arrested so that the patient can live a normal life. Find the extent in which you can play or work and then live within your limitations. Do not lose courage because you have been told that you have heart disease. There are many occupations which you will be able to perform, even if your heart is not absolutely normal. It is better to earn less income and keep your health. Very few children have had to give up their education because they have had trouble, so if your child has a damaged heart let him continue to learn as much as he can, even if his attendance at school may be interrupted, and you will find a broader field of activity opening up to him. Consult your physician regarding your diet and your activities and then live as nearly normal a life as possible. Take care to keep in an good general condition as you can. Avoid new infections and get plenty of sunshine and fresh air every day. Floods and Injustice The flood conditions in the lower Mississippi valley are always destructive and distressing. They are almost of periodic occurrence. Engineering skills has, up to now, been unable to cope with these flood visitations. "The father of waters" when on a rampage has no respect for levers and other engineering devices. The disaster consequent upon these floods is very great, both as to loss of property and of life. There usually follow in the train of these floods suffering, hardship and slackness. In the present flood crisis Arkansas Mississippi and Louisiana are the principal sufferers. Along the track of the flood, the Negro population is large, and it follows from the well known social conditions existing in those districts that the suffering among the Negroes must be greater than that among the whites. The Negroes as a rule live on the lower lands, and are the first to feel the edge of the flood. In the next place, by local custom and practice, they are conspicted to labor on the levees at points where breaks threaten, and consequently are subject to loss of life, limb or health due to the known hazards and unhealthy conditions under which such work must be done. Nor is this all. The whole nation is called on to make contributions to relieve the suffering in the flooded area. The relief thus afforded is distributed by local committees, composed of the employer whites. Again according to custom and social that the Negro is served after the white man has been relieved. In the past floods numerous instances have come to light where the local committee being also a landlord has charged to the account of his Negro tenants the food and clothing which the charity of the nation intended should be a gift, and the poor tenant, in many cases, ignorant of his rights and of the bounty of his fellow countrymen, has had to work for his landlord for years, or until the next flood, to pay for what has been fraudulently charged to him. One hears little of what is at this time, taking place in the flooded areas. The Associated Press accounts are furnished by its local newspaper members. They do not concern themselves with this phase of the situation. The Negro himself either is insensitive of the wrong done him, or, from prudence gained from experience, keeps silent. It is unfortunate that there are no means available by which all the conditions brought about by the flood can be chronicled from day to day. An emergency of this kind suggests anew the need of real, functioning Negro associated press; not something existing merely on paper, and drawing sustenance from party organizations and workers, but an organization having a legal existence and a paid membership and funds adequate to sending its own competent investigators to selected points.—Washington Tribune. Solomon Island Natives' Strange Marriage Rules Natives of the Solomon Islands have no tribes in the pristinct sense of the term, and though each village may have a headman or chief, he is not a person of any great power or authority, written Robert W. Williamson in "The Ways of the South Sea Savage." For matrimental purposes the people are divided into classes, and they have a law of exogamy, which forbids a man to marry a woman of his own class or tribe. Associated with this rule of exogamy is a system of descent in the female line; and, as the wife is necessarily of a clam other than that of her husband, it follows that their children are members of her clam, and not of him, and are more closely related to her brothers than to him. Some Things Garveyites Should Know For Maruma Garvey Let not a day pass without doing something terrible to hasten the release of Marcus Garvey from Atlanta prison. We have the means to achieve the victory; let us utilize it. We must cross the Rubicon between us and the White House. Let us put every ounce of energy and intelligence into the fray. The imprisonment of Marcus Garvey is not merely a racial incident, it affects the whole structure of internationalism. Humanity, white, black, brown and yellow is involved. Where is our manhood that we are afraid? Where is the courage of our forefathers that we hesitate? God grant us the will to fight and the wisdom to fight wisely. Let us feed the world with this message: RELEASE GARVEY OR LOBE OUR FRIENDSHIP. African Nationalism There are forces working over night to crush the spirit of African Nationalism. The most potent thrust is seen in the attempt to divide Africans at home and abroad, that Africa might be an easy prey of these forces with schemes for depolling her. But the spirit of African Nationalism cannot be crushed. It is being breathed daily into the soul of thousands of new-born African babies; it is growing more rampant in Africa, gripping the minds of millions; and for every lynching, every abuse, every insult, every injustice meted out to a person of African descent anywhere in the universe, a new discipline of African Nationalism is born. It is easier to dry up the turbulent Pacific than toush the impassioned yell for independence from awakened Africans. "Scrap of Paper?" In the Constitution of these United States another 'scrap of paper?' The following is taken from the New Era published in Eunice, Louisiana: "No, Mr. Negro, you have not voted in Louisiana and you are not going to vote. There remain within the bounds of this great State enough white men to shoulder guns when the occasion demands to prevent you from casting a ballot. "Should you wish to obtain your 'constitutional rights,' you might later learn that the Negro undertaking parlor of your virginity will be filled with those of your race who have gone to another land to acquire your privileges." Storing Up Trouble Another brilliant display of mob violence is reported from the civilized state of Arkansas. Arthur Brisbane comments on the incident thus: "John Carter, a Negro, who had attacked a white woman in Little Rock, Ark., was hanged and riddled with bullets. The lesson was wanted on him after that, but the crowd was not satisfied. It fastened his dead body behind an automobile, dragged it along the pavement of the city's main street, then soaked it with gasoline and burned it on a corner of the busiest street in the Negro section of the city. "Will the lynching, dragging and burning really have a wholesome effect upon thousands of Negroes and whites that witnessed it? Will it inspire the Negroes with respect for the white race?" The only wholesome effect it should have upon the thousands of Negroes who witnessed it is, that God does not keep company with cowards; and, for every lynching, the Negro's faith in the white man's civilization drops fifty degrees. But it will not always be thus. Some day this same mob spirit is going to seize the now patient, humble and forgiving Negro, then the white man will realise that there is something greater than might. The day is fast approaching when the Negro will teach white men that they cannot insult the Negro with impunity. Alken, Little Rock and other havens of mob violence will ever live in our memory, and when the Negro shall have founded a mighty government of his own in mother Africa he shall return to collect the debt—somebody is going to pay and pay dearly for these atrocities being meted out to the man of color. Through Black Speciacles Acquiescing in the request of my friends and fellow Garveyites who feel that the title of this column should be changed, in that it suggests sectionalism rather than universality, I shall continue to discuss racial affairs under the caption, THROUGH BLACK SPECTACLES, beginning with the next issue of this paper. THE HUMAN race is like a flower garden, diversified in colors, beauty and sweetness. From the poison ivy to the modest violet, all have their counterpart in the types of individuals we meet daily, and by way of diversion just try to them their relatives and friends to the flowers you think correspond with their character. It is an interesting pastime and will help you to be observant, and a student of human nature. In the same manner that God's children have certain physical differences, which divide them into four large racial groups, each group being specially adapted to the different climate zones of the earth, even so with flowers and other vegetation. The stately palm grows in tropical and semitropical countries, while the pine flourishes in colder regions. But man differs from the flowers and animals in this great respect that he has a will of his own. Being God's masterpiece, he has the power to order his life according to his own likes and dislikes. He can change his surroundings, his manner of dressing, eating or sleeping; he can be a superman or an under-dog; either a saint or a devil; like a rank weed, he can choke the growth and progress of those around him, or, like a useful tree, he can give food to the hungry and shelter to the weary traveller. Man's power for good or evil is unlimited; like the savage beast, he can roam the world, destroying others not of his kind, or, like the domesticated animal, he can be a help and comfort to others. Oh! that man should take stock of himself sometimes and ask himself these questions: Am I using the God-power in me? If so, am I using it to destroy others or to help them? App I a curse to the world or a benefit? Am I making my daily contribution to a better world, or just a parasite, depending on others to do what I should do myself? These are serious questions that test man's right to existence, and ought to direct his footsteps to the path of duty and achievement. We owe it to our Maker, call Him God or call Him Nature, to keep an near perfection as possible, since he created us in his own image and likeness. It is an abuse of His likeness when we do wicked, mean things. We should so reverence our likeness to our Creator that we should aim to be perfect representatives of Him on earth and truly the children of our Heavenly Father. Remember, God or Nature has given each of us the power. It is up to us to use that power in the proper way, and resolve that "I, being the master of my own fate, will lift myself to the heights of greatness and bless mankind with my achievements." EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Mother's Day should be an awakening and an appraisal of a mother's responsibilities on her part, as well as a day for thoughtful and deserving adoration on the part of her children. —Boston Chronicle. Don't listen to the little devils who whisper in your ear, telling you to "take it easy" or "you can get away with this." Anything less than your best is unworthy of you. If you do your best you cannot fail. All experience attests to the truth of this. —Philadelphia Public Lodger. America is all right so far as good laws are concerned. The trouble lies in the fault that the people do not always get the benefit of the protection that these laws are meant to give. America will never be nearer her ideal self until she lives up to her laws. —Louisville Lodger. We are our own wretched enemies; we invite what we do not like, and complain at what we have bought and paid for—Sir of Men. If someone looks down upon you just because of your position, if you are doing the best you can, then they have no motivation. But on the other hand, if you are merely filling your space, a cog in the wheel, doing mechanically what is set out for you to do, deafening nothing else more elevating, something is wrong with you. —Western America. The races in this country should be impressed with the dependence and assistance which one spirit tools upon and requires of another. It is not charity that we need; it is justice and opportunity, encouragement, sympathy and fair play. —National Baptist Voices. We must of necessity keep our spiritual lives developed, but this must not be done at the expense of a well rounded development. A poor, hungry, poverty stricken group will make very poor communicants. The leader is calling for dollar money and prodigy, while the communicant calls for soup. —Saint Enterprise. We are not half as important to the world as we believe ourselves to be. Other people have their own interests, worries, heartaches. And if we should spend just half the time we want in self-pity and satisfaction in trying to bring joy and satisfaction to others, we would soon have problems and find a smile more difficult to bear.

IN TIME FOR WORK AND DECORATION DAY'S PLEASURES Liberale Deadlock Parley with President's Envoy by Demand That Diaz Be Fereed From Office—May Suspend War TIPITAPA, Nicaragua, May 4.—Henry L. Stimeon, peace emissary representing President Coolidge, and General Jose Maria Moncada, commander of the Liberal armies, have been unable to reach an agreement for a settlement of the hostilities between the Liberals and Conservatives. Their conference ended today in a deadlock over the question of the continuance of Adolfo Diaz, Conservative, in the Presidency. There appeared to be some hope for a settlement when the conference, which also included delegates from Dr. Sacasa, the Liberal President; the American Minister, Charles C. Eberhardt, and Rear Admiral Latimer, adjourned at noon. But in the afternoon, after a brief session, the Liberal delegates announced a negative outcome, as General Moncada and the Sacasa delegates were unable to accept the provision that Diaz should continue as President. --- Mr. Stimson did not confirm this particular point, but merely said the conference was over and there was nothing for publication. He and the American Minister immediately returned to Managua. A member of General Monacada's staff said later to The Associated Press that if the United States issued a signed official mandatory order that the Liberals must lay down their arms and cease fighting the Liberals would be compelled to accept, as it would be unwelcome to attempt to combat the United States. But so long as the United States attempted to lay down terms which included the continuance of Diaz in office the Liberals would continue to fight for "constitutionality and justice for Nicaragua." The first discussions were between Mr. Stimson and General Moncada; these were followed by conferences at which the others were present. General Moncada with his staff arrived at Tipitapa at midnight, and Mr. Stimson with his associates proceeded there from Managua early in the morning. A friendly attitude was shown on both sides, but almost a hundred marines were an guard. Truce Reported Won WASHINOTON.

What is of equal importance, the program for amenable adjustment of the differences between the commanding political partion, calls for practical American supervision of Nicaraguan affairs, inclusive of the establishment of a native constabulary with American officers, and the conduct of a Presidential election next year under the direction of Americans. So favorable is the outlook for proactive adjustment of the civil war that has been in progress since just after the small guard of American marines was withdraw from our Legation in Managua in August, 1925, that the State Department this evening furnished to newspapers a summarization of Colonel Stimson's encouraging advices. These gave the distinct impression that, unless something goes awry, the contending armies will surrender their arms on Saturday to American marines, and the maintenance of order in the country will be administered by armed forces of the United States until an American-supervised Presidential election next year, when the organization of a constabulary under American officers and other measures for preserving tranquility presumably will be in effect. Extension of Supervisory Policy The program for establishing peace and its continuance was included in the State Department cominique, as follows: 1. Complete disarmament of both sides. 2. An immediate general peace to permit planting for the new crop in June. 3. A general amnesty to all persons in rebellion or exile. 4. The return of all occupied or confiscated property to its owners. 5. Participation in the Diaz Cabinet by Liberals. 6. Organization of a Nicaraguan constabulary on a non-partisan basis, commanded by American officers. 7. American supervision of the 1928 election. 8. The continuance temporarily in the country of a sufficient force of American marines to guarantee order pending the organization of the constabulary. It will be seen from this that it is proposed that the supervisory policy of the United States which has been in operation in the insular Caribbean countries of the Dominican Republic and Haiti shall be extended to Central America. This is in of extreme importance in that, while it involves no new policy in its application to small Latin-American nations which have suffered under the effects of frequent political armed revolutions, it indicates an intention on the part of the Coolidge Administration to apply it more generally with a view to preventing disturbances which might spell trouble for the United States in its international relations. Fear of Red Wedge Above Canal In the particular case of Nicaragua, this policy has the additional importance in the evidence that it is partly THE NIGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1927 the outgrowth of a derailed Star of the American Government that behind the present disturbance by an insurrection, allegedly engineered from Mexico and encouraged by the Soviet Government at Moscow, to establish in Nicaragua an authority hostile to the United States with a view to driving an anti-American wedge between continental United States and the Panama Canal. Negro Rescues and Cares For White Victims of Mississippi Flood NEW ORLANDS, La.—Following the flooding of certain sections of the city by the recent record rainfall, the heroism of Samuel White, Negro railroad employee, who rescued and cared for twenty-five white families, is being warmly acclaimed by the public and the press. When the waters began to overflow the suburb of Edgewood, White, who works in the adjacent stock yards, hastily built a raft from commandeered timber, voyaged among the submerged homes and brought twenty-five families to safety. He first placed his own home at the disposal of the refugees, but that was soon crowded and he provided shelter and straw beds for the others in box cars in the railroad yards. Meantime his wife was busy preparing hot coffee and food and from Friday night until Monday morning the two furnished meals to the refugees and helped nurse a family of children who were ill with measles at the time of their rescue. Commenting editorially on the incident, the Times-Picayune says: "The submergence in that neighborhood persisted through Saturday and well into Sunday, but White and his wife faltered not nor failed in their well doing. They cooked such food as was available and fed the rescued folk until Sunday night, when other relief finally reached them. This sustained and self-macrificing service by an humble Negro family to its distressed white neighbors deserves place upon the permanent record, as surely as it will hold place in the memories of the families who were thus rescued and fed and sheltered. All residents of Edgewood, it is reported, are loud in their praise of White's heroic work. The entire community joins in that praise, which might fittingly be broadened, we think, to include Mrs. White, who cooked the meals and kept the coffee hot for the drenched people who were brought out of their flooded homes by her husband and his hastily improvised raft." More, than 2,000 years ago an Egyptian barber discovered that in moving a mirror air was forced through the tubes common in mirrors at that time, causing a sound to be emitted.

Government (which de facto scarcely exists), but a revolution against the English supremacy over Asia. The leader of this revolution is the dead Sun Yat Sen. Its victory proves now that a dead genius is stronger than a dozen living generals and that the most real power in politics is idealism. Thus the victory of Canton has surprised the world just as much as the victory of Angora. For Canton is the East Asiatic Angora. Both are the allies of Moscow. The Canton Government of China creates for Europe a neighboring bloc of more than half a billion souls on an adjacent territory which is seven times as large as Pan-Europe. Therefore, this event is of the utmost importance for Europe. The situation is dangerous for the future, because this bloc is only the torso of a larger body and because in this Asiatic war of independence more than half of all mankind stand on the side of Moscow and Canton. What Angora began and Canton continued will fill British, French and Dutch India with future fears. Thus we see more than one billion people wait and hope for the day which will bring the collapse of white world dominion.

The world program of the Anglo-Nakona has never been framed so clearly as the Russian. It does not need this formulation, because it does not want to transform the world, but to lead it. And yet it may be formulated about as follows: 1. Close co-operation between the British and the American people. 2. Moral leadership of the League of Nations through co-operation between the British member and the American outsider. 3. Political control of Asia and Africa of Asia with the aid of Japan; of Africa with the aid of France, both of which are too weak to oppose Angle-Saxen world dominion. 4. Economic control of Europe and of South America. 5. Enirejement of Russia until its capitulation and transformation into an economic colony. 6. General disarmament, through which numbers and war efficiency are outdone in cases of war by technical superiority (navy, air fleet, poison gas), through which every war and every revolution of a technically backward nation against an industrial nation becomes hopeless. 7.

Americans Discover Money Minted in Second Century ALEXANDRIA, Egynpt.—A hoard of @0 gold coins of the Roman Empire, minted in the second century, has been discovered by the University of Michigan expedition. According to Prof. Francis W. Kel- wey, the coins had been laid away in ‘2 small linen bag, which was found with them. The fresh appearance and the absence of traces of wear indicate that they were elther withdrawn from circulation immediately after they left the mint or were nelected with ex- traordinary care. ‘Twenty-four acparate issues of colns are represented. The caritest dates from the latter part of the reign of ‘the Emperor Hadrian, after he had received the Latin title corresponding with "Father of His Country,” in 128 A.D. The reat were minted tn the reign of Antonius Pius, and thirty- nine coins have the portrait of this emperor. None is later than the year 159 A. D. Bix coins have the portrait of the young Marcus Aurelius before he be- camo emperor. On the revera> of one of these the marriage of Marcus Au- relius is symbolized. He is represented as jointrgs hands with the younxer Faustina, in the presence of a di- vinity. Fourteen coins have portrait: of the: two Fauatinas. Seven bear the head of the elder Faustina, wife of the Empcror Antontus Pius. ‘Theso were | minted after her death in 141 A. D.. when she was already revered an a | divinity, The other seven have tho | portrait of the younzer Faustina and were minted within a few years after her marriage to Marcus Aurellus. Not one of the twenty-four Iasues tn represented in the great national col- lection of ancient coins In the Museum of Alexandria. The government, there- fore, will retain a part of the hoard for that collection. Hampton Takes First Place- At Penn.

"Mary Glenn" followed, and to this reviewer, at any rate, did not seem so successful. "God's Stepchildren" was and is a remarkable novel. It deals with miscegenation in South Africa and reveals a vast and complex color problem. Now Mrs. Millin has given us a book out of the fullness of her knowledge of her country. To it she has brought all her skill as a novelist, all her love and understanding of South Africa. "South Africa is a country of black men and not of white men. It has been so, and it is so and it will be so." This conclusion, reached by Anthony Trollope fifty years ago after a detailed study of the country, is quoted by Mrs. Millin as her text, "Today," she continues, "fifty years later, South Africa is sitting up suddenly, as one awakened by the clapping of his own heart, and asking if that is true, if it is really possible that this land may not, after all, be the land of the black man and the heritage of his children?" The problem, as already mentioned, is something far beyond anything the American public can visualize. There in South Africa it is no mere question of the Negro and the Northern white man. It is a question of Hottentol, Bantu, Zulu, Kaffir, Malay, Chinese, East Indian, Jew, Dutch, French, German and English. The ethics of the problem are as obscure as the practical politics of it. The English, say some, ousted the Dutch. The Dutch ousted the Bantu. True. But the Bantu, as Mrs. Millin says, is no more aboriginal to South Africa than we are. The true owner of South Africa is the Bushman, a dwarfish, brutish, half-simian creature who is almost extinct. Destroy Each Other? So we get nowhere when we argue about priority of claims. The mood now in South Africa is: "Here we all are. What are we going to do about it? Destroy each other or live with a minimum of unhappiness? Upon ourselves our destiny depends." In the beginning South Africa was not booked upon as a colony but as a trading station. The Dutch East India Company brought thither their black slaves, their East Indian convicts, their own Dutch orphan girls in batches for the young Dutchmen to marry. They Apply it like any ordinary cold cream and watch your skin become gradually clear, retract, reiterate and show all, good looking. This is the skin that you want. Don't delay.

But these people could no more induce the tyranny of the company than they could endure the tyranny at home. They moved on. They traked on northward and over northward, until at last, they met the Kaffir traiking south from East Central Africa. Black gans and white men were face to face, and so began the age-long Kaffir war. And when, by reason of ware in Europe, England occupied the Cape she paid the Batavian Republic in Holland £6,000,000—a good price when can recalls the original real estate deal on Manhattan Island. She took it, and the trekkers trokked again. She inherited the native ware. The Dutchmen sounded their little republics and stubbornly, heroically, dug themselves in. They were plaus agriculturists. They asked only to be left alone. So they were left alone until it was discovered. In the eighties, that these Beer farmers were scratching a living from the greatest gold region the world has ever known. They were left alone until all the rifkraft of the world began to pour into Kimberley, where is the largest diamond mine in the world. They had no peace until the Union of South Africa was accomplished. Voluntary Segregation What, however, is the solution of South Africa's tremendous problem? Mr. Mru. Millin is careful not to dogmatise. She mentions segregation, and it seems likely that the ultimate plan will be a form of voluntary segregation like Banatoland, where there are no more than three white per thousand of inhabitants. These black colonies will be self-governing within the Union, somewhat as though certain States were reserved exclusively for the colored population of the United States. In exchange for their useless present franchise a limited franchise uniform throughout the Union is proposed by Gen. Hertzog, but he may quite conceivably disrupt his party before he will put the measure through. A two-thirds vote is required for any change in native representation by the act of union. Mrs. Millin is definite enough in her own opinion. The black man is not the equal of the white. The black man can underlie the white; he cannot outlive him. He can copy him, but he cannot think for himself. Mrs. Millin suspects, however, that the white man does not want the black to think for himself, that white superiority is less a fact than an urgent racial need. Toward the end of her book she is far from certain that the future can be definitely foretold. Beyond the stark facts that the white man must govern, that me must be very wise either than very sentimental, she is reluctant to make a definite statement. It is a huge problem. Merely to turn it over in one's mind demands vigorous mental effort. No thinking American can afford to misgirl Mrs. Millin's brilliant and beautiful book. An explorer recently returned from the Colobus jungles says that monkeys indulge in community singing. "The leaders give a few rather low hoarse notes. Then with one accord they all join in, their voices rising with a sort of humming, droning sound which is wild weird and indescribably fascinating." FIND BRITISH PLOT TO RECLAIM U. S. Chicago Investigation Into Thompson Charges That History Text Books Are Pre-British Mode CHICAGO. May 4.—England, a few years ago, was making plans to reclaim the United States and annex it as a colony of the British Empire, the Chicago Board of Education committee on textbooks was told at its first meeting held to inquire into charges that history texts are pro-British and that the services of many foreigners to America in its wars have been omitted. The investigation was launched as a result of the recent Mayoralty campaign when Mayor William Hale Thompson, campaigning on an "America first" platform, charged that schoolbooks were, pro-British, that King George of England was trying to interfere in Chicago's schools, and that William McAndrew, superintendent of schools, was to blame for it all. The Mayor promised to oust McAndrew if elected. Charges that England planned to annex the United States were made by John V. Ginley, an attorney. He said British propaganda has been at work for years to remove any ill feeling against Great Britain here as a result of the Revolution and to bring about a British-American union as the first step to making the United States a British colony. In support of his charges he quoted from articles by Sir Gilbert Parker, the London Times, Owen Wister, Cecil Rhodes and others, and said that Cecil Rhodes in his will recommended that a secret body of men be sent throughout the world to promote "restoration of the English possessions." The Rhodes scholarships, he declared, were founded so American students could be "trained to be Britishers and acquire the British viewpoint." The Carnegie Foundation was the next step in the plan, he said. Capt. William J. Grace, assistant chief of plans and training of the Thirty-third (Illinois) Division in the World War, another witness, said propaganda in American histories "shows existence of a grave threat against the continued safety of the United States Government." He cited one history in which appears a picture of the battle of Bunker Hill and in which the child reader, he said, is placed back of the British lines and sees the British advancing on the hill in magnificent array with "not a single American in sight." Other pictures in older histories show American troops defeating the British. Japan Unemployed Lay Blame on Women TOKIO.—Women are a cause of unemployment in Japan, according to its labor organizations, which claim women work cheaper because their standard of living is much lower than that of men. It is claimed that wage standards are rapidly being lowered and the condition of the wage and salaried classes in Japan growing more precarious. Women's efficiency, however, is said to be on a par with the best male workers. There were about 500,000 unemployed in Japan last year, divided equally between the laboring and white collar classes. In offices women are now clerks, stenographers and bookkeeper—jobs that only a few years ago were considered exclusively men's.

U.S. REPRESENTED IN CHINA CRISIS BY "BRITISH BOY" MacMurray Would Involve Uncle Sam Who Has Nothing to Get but Everlasting Hatred of the Chinese BY NORMAN THOMAS In The New Leader. Ten years have passed and the theatre of war has shifted from Europe to China. Our people emphatically do not want war or intervention. President Coolidge does not want war or intervention. Nevertheless he keeps an our ambassador in China a man who in the slang of the Far East is known as the "British Number 1 boy." It is no secret that Mr. MacMurray wants to join the British in an aggressive policy. There is plenty of propaganda by the British and by like-minded Americans to force us to an aggressive policy. The British Shanghai press openly accuses us of "deserting our allies." What is still worse, the State Department, for all of its protests of desire for peace, follows the old line diplomacy. Our gunboats patrol the Yangtze. The fire eating Brigadier-General Smedley Butler parades his marines in Shanghai. No positive constructive measures are taken looking to a modification of the unequal treaties which so incense Chinese of all factions. We are in a fair way to drift into war in China in 1937 as we drifted into the World War in 1917. Such a drift is more inexcusable now than it was then. The consequences of an aggressive policy in China may be immediately far less than those which followed our entry into the World War. But no one can calculate the ultimate harvests of hate which we may reap in the Far East. Fortunately there is yet time to save the situation. Even within the Tory cabinet itself the British imperialism have not gained complete control. Nevertheless it is true that British imperialism is likely to take aggressive action in China to save its prestige in India and to try to win back its concession in Hankow as well as to protect those it still has. Great Britain does not want to face this task alone. Japan and France for reasons of their own are hesitant as to their next stop. Neither is as rich nor as simple minded as your Uncle Sam. Why not get him to fight for some new "sacred principle?" In the World War we fought for principle and Great Britain took the territory. It worked once, it might work again. The British imperial philosophy is easily understood. What causes me almost to despair is that our government and people seem to have such inadequate defenses against it. Unless we wake up we may be involved in some aggressive action in China from which we shall get nothing—not even a concession in Hankow—except the everlasting hatred of the Chinese.

Senator Capeland Delves into Anthropology to Show That Hindus Are "White Persons," "Dark Nordics" A preliminary victory has been gained by the India Freedom Foundation in its fight for the restoration of citizenship rights to Hindoes residing in the United States. The department of justice has just notified its attorney that the Hindoes whose citizenship papers have been cancelled would be restored to full rights and proceedings against others would be dropped. This ruling affects the 49 Hindoes who had citizenship papers prior to 1953 when Supreme Court Justice Sutherland ruled that the people of this race were not "whites" in the popular sense of the word and therefore were ineligible to citizenship. They formerly were admitted as members of the Aryan race. The two or three thousand remaining Hindoes in this country are still ineligible to citizenship. The India Freedom Foundation is supporting Senator Copeland's bill annualling the Sutherland decision and opening citizenship doors to all Hindoes in this country—though not changing the immigration laws now barring newcomers. Hallendra Ghose, secretary of the India Freedom Foundation, says his people have been intimidated and grafted upon by local authorities since the Sutherland ruling. Nordica, Dark and Blond United States Senator Royal N. Copeland, speaking last night at a testimonial dinner given in his honor by the India Freedom Foundation in Mecca Temple, in recognition of his support of the Hindoo citizenship bill, urged abolition of the immigration quotas and "barred geographical zones" and the substitution thereof of the principle of physical, moral and mental tests of individual immigrant aliens, restricted to a definite annual total, regardless of nationality or race. Senator Copeland said he introduced the Hindoo citizenship bill because he was "out of harmony with the effect" of the decision of the United States Supreme Court holding that Hindoo are debarred from American citizenship because they are not "free white persons" within the meaning of the naturalization law of 1790. While that decision was inevitable, the speaker said "the law must be modified in order to make possible the reception of Hindoo into full American citizenship." "Physically," Dr. Copeland continued, "the people of Northern India trace their ancestors back to the same ancestors as the Nordics. "The anthropologist describes the broad-headed races, the Slava and Russians, for instance. When he comes to the Teutonic or Nordic group, he explains that these are 'lung-headed, blond and tall.' How does the Hindoo differ? He is lond-headed and tall, but dark instead of blond. "The Hindoo has the skull, the features, the hands, the figure, and, above all else, the intelligence of what we call the American. He is as truly 'Nordic,' in the final analysis, as the blond citizens of Norway and Sweden. At least he possesses every physical trait of the northern European races except his possession of a tinted skin. "The Hindoo is an Aryan, a Caucasian, in the true sense a 'white person.'

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1927 MONTHLY SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION: "WHAT BENEFIT WOULD NEGROES DERIVE FROM A GOVERNMENT OF THEIR OWN?" COLON. PANAMA On Sunday, April 17, a mammoth mass meeting was held at Liberty Hall 11th street and Broadway avenue. The unveiling of the new charter has made the day one that ever will be remembered in the city of Colon. The meeting began at 4:30 p. m. with the hall crowded to its full capacity with friends, well-wishers, members and others who yearned to satisfy their curiosity. The rostrum groaned under the weight of distinguished visitors and the representatives and delegates from various lodges and other branches of the U. N. X. I. A. An orchestral band and a choir of the Colon Fraternal Choral Union gave evidence of their sympathy for the cause of Africa by gracing the occasion. Their praises cannot be sounded too loudly, as also that of our branch's choir, which certainly did its beat on the occasion. The Logionaires and Black Cross Nurses under command of Colonel Gill gave a stirring exhibition of their respective training. The chair was occupied by Mr. E. L. Moulton, our newly elected president. Our newly elected chaplain, Mr Serjeant, conducted the religious service. The opening ode was sung as customary. The scripture lesson was taken from the twenty-fourth chapter of St. Luke. At this stage of the meeting Commissioner St. Rose arrived, and was escorted to the rostrum by three Legionnaires under Col. Gill The Twenty-third Psalm was repeated on behalf of the president-general. The president then addressed the audience on the alms and objects of the association. Four little damselflies were selected to unveil the charter, while Miss McLean had the honor of unlocking the door, she having received the largest collection of the four. The ceremony of unveiling was performed by the Rev. Cousins of the Wesleyan Church, to whom an address of welcome and appreciation was tendered by our first vice president, Mr. D. Prescott. The commissioner addressed the audience on the aims and objects of the association, and called upon the officers and members of the branch under the new charter to strike out and achieve great things in this city. He had the pleasure of seeing seven new members enrolled in response to his stirring appeal. Miss Haddison of Farm 3, San Blas succeeded in lifting a large collection with the rendition of her solo "So I'll Give What I Can." Mrs. Inis of the choir rendered a vocal solo, and also Miss Newland. Master Gittens thrilled the house with a piano solo. Eleven members were enrolled. I cannot close without again saying that the members of the orchestral band, the Colon Fraternal Choral Union, the branch's choir and all the individual performers gave evidence that there is much latent Negro talent in this city which is wanting its sweetness on the desert air. It makes us yearn the more for the coming of the day when these noble-nouled creatures of misfortune will be free to display their God-given talent without let or hindrance. The meeting came to its close at 11:30 with the singing of our National Anthem and the spirit of Garveyism running high. A. SMITH. Reporter. PANAMA. R. P.

After the reading of the President General's weekly message by the general secretary, Bre. A. N. Hutchinson, the division's choir sang an anthem which received great applause. The president, Mr. Louis A. Linda, spoke on the sacrifice the Mon. Marcus Garvey is making at this present moment for the uplift of his race. The meeting chanced with benediction. Division No. 11 is prepared to carry on until the Negro takes his place among the other nations of the world. A. N. HUTCHINSON. Reporter. NOTICE Divisions are urged to send in regular weekly reports.

WONDERFUL LION'S HEAD RING THE MICRO WORLD SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1987 Spanish Section SECCIÓN EN ESPAÑOL per La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra 142 West 130th St. Cindad de Nueva York, N. Y. PROF. M. A. FIGUEROA, Editor Miles se han visto amenzados por la furia del rio Mississippi y sus tributarios, que han logrado romper los diques en clientes de lugares, inundando las tierras bajas y formando un enorme lago sobre el cual solamente aparecen las copas de los árboles más altos. Todos los pueblos débiles o fuertes tienen sus leaders—¿Que hay acerca de la dirección de nuestro pueblo?—Las amarguras y sufrimientos de una raza—Pasando por desapercibidas grandes oportunidades—La paciencia como virtud puede degenerar en vicio—Cooperemos en pro de la libertad de nuestro martir de la raza Más de doce mil personas iniciaron el exodo de la región de Tensas llevando a cabo la primera evacuación completa desde el alfo de 1882. Las ciudades de St. Joseph, Waterproof y Newelton están quedando desiertas, lo mismo que muchas otras comunidades de menor importancia, obligadas por los grandes torrentes de agua que impetuosamente se dirigen hacia asientos con el rompimiento del dique de Winter Quarters, a cuatro millas al norte de St. Joseph. China tiene su Eugenio Chen y no hace mucho tuvo su Sun Yat Sen; India tiene su Mahatma Gandhi; Egipto tiene su Zaglouhl Pasha; Turquia tiene su Kemal Pasha. Estos son grandes países; algunos potencialmente grandes y otros que fueron en un tiempo poderosos. Pero todos al presente tienen sus leaders de valor y de visión; hombres sin compromisos, hombres de talla elocuentísima, patriotas reales, determinados a hacer que sus conciudadanos no sean meramente detritus de madera, ni mucho menos espuma de oleaje. Prácticamente la parroquia de Concordia ha sido entregada al remano de los rios Red y Old y doce mil habitantes han sido afectados por las aguas en esa jurisdicción, donde 452.000 acres de terreno rico en producción han sido cubiertos por las aguas. Otras jurisdicción vecinas, Madison, East y West Carroll, Morehouse, Ritchland, Franklin, Catahoula y Ovoyelles están también sufriendo los efectos de los desbordamientos de los rios. En la jurisdicción de Richland, cerca de Winn Island, se dio cuenta de un hombre que pereció ahogado en la huida de veinticuatro personas que han quedado aprisionadas por las aguas en una colina, habiendo sido imposible el resecatarlas con los botes a causa de la fuerte corriente de las aguas. Un extenso continente de pueblos opresos se echa de menos en el catálogo. Africa, el sitio de mas de trescientos millones de hombres, mujeres y niños negros; Africa, el país mas rico del mundo, cuna del genero humano. El nombre de un gran leader y patriota, también se echa de menos en la lista de los mártires. Marcus Garvey, el dinámico, batallador profético, que hace ocho años elevó sobre sus hombres la cruz de su raza, ha sido condenado por hombres sin sentimiento, para cargar solo y sin desmayo, el peso cuento del madero redentivo. En veinticuatro horas, cinco mil personas quedaron sin hogar en aquella región, habiendose empleado lanchas, vapores, gabarras y botes en salvar a hombres, mujeres y niños que habian buscado refugio en los tejados de las casas y en las ramas de los árboles. Si nosotros fuesemos un Roland Hayes, iriamos por el mundo entonando una canción llena de alma, anorando las nostalgias de la raza, traduciendo sus esperanzas y a pulmon abierto, expresar su determinación y hacer sentir las angustias de sus antepasados, de manera que al hacernos escuchar, causara tal efecto entre los opresores de nuestro pueblo, hasta hacerles saltar de su trono; que llevasen una impresión temerosa y que por mediación de lo delicado de nuestras cuerdas vocales, resultase una conversión de dar a Africa lo que es de los africanos y todo lo que en derecho les pertenece. Varias otras regiones experimentaron los primeros temores con el rompimiento proxinto de varios otros diques en las orillas del Mississippi. Mas al oester hacia el sur, en la jurisdicción de Rapides, las autoridades hicieron um llamamiento de hombres con motivo de la lucha sostenida por los ciudadanos contra las aguas de Bayou, y la presencia de varias companies del ejercito en aquella vecindad dio lugar a la creencia de que se trataria de romper los diques del río en aquella region para facilitar el desagüe. Marcus Garvey, el leader de este movimiento de emancipación, el africano neto, ha venido soportando solo el peso de esa gran cruz. Su voz ha sido silenciada por un momento no mas. Y la ingratitud, la falta de energia y de pensar de una raza ciega, se sienta supinamente, sin demostración alguna de rebeldia mientras la oportunidad de una epoca pasa desapercibida. Chen, Sen Zaglouhl Pasha, Kemal Pasha, Mahatma Gandhi, todos han tenido sus vicisitudes en mayor ó menor escala. Sun Yat Sen fue llamado por sus padres, y hoy su espíritu da nervios a trescientos millones de su raza, encomendándoles el deber de la redención de China. Los refugiados que llegan a Delhi han abarrotado el campamento, habiéndose pedido mayor número de camas y equipos de cocina, y quedaban todavía de cinco a ocho mil personas que se hallaban en las alturas de la jurisdicción de St. Joseph, que debian de ser trasladadas al campamento. Con tal motivo se han pedido la a comisión encargada de socorros embarcaciones para las personas y gabarones para el traslado de cuatro mil cabezas de ganado. Mientras tanto, la mayor flota de rescate que se recuerda baja por el rio, internándose en las tierras bajas inundadas de agua con sus botes salvavidas y trasladoando a los refugiados a los guardacostas y lanchas de vapor que seguirán la corriente del Mississippi hasta el golfo de Méjico. Todos los demas pueblos estan todavia en la línea de enfrente, animando a sus huestes para adquirir la libertad, el poder y la luz. Solamente el hombre negro da aun tropiezos, no dándose cuenta de la época y las circunstancias porque atraviesa su propia raza. Y su leader, el único leader que se ha pronunciado entre ella para guiar los destinos de sus generaciones venideras, ha sido obligado a pasar sus días en el infierno de una celda, en la penjtenciaria de Atlanta. Este hecho clama al cielo por una revindicación inmediata. Combatiendo una política La política de este pais en Hispano-America fue atacada por el esenador King y Horace Greeley Knowles, ex-ministro en la República Dominicana, en la asamblea pública celebrada en Newark, N. J., bajo los auspicios de liga de propietarios en México contra la intervención, declarando que las dificultades en Méjico y otras depúblicas son debidas a explotadores que prepararon el sacrificio de enteras naciones para sus propias ganancias. ¿Hombres negros, que vais a hacer? La paciencia es una virtud, pero facilmente puede convertirse en vicio. La paciencia que no es constructiva y que descansa solamente en la imitación fuera de razon, es una adquiesencia suicida, altamente detrimental para la existencia de aquel que no sepa ser paciente. Corresponde, por consiguiente, a los negros ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos de America, principalmente a aquellos que deben alianza a la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, el jurar en el presente que no descansarán noche y dia, hasta que su leader, el Hon. Marcus Garvey, se les devuelva a su seno. Les dos oradores abogaron por la política de abatención. El senador King censuró la asunción de la dictadura por el presidente Coolidge, cuando envió fuerzas armadas a Nicaragua, creando un virtual estado de guerra. Predijo que el arreglo de tratado en progreso actualmente en Nicaragua dara el control general de la situación a los intereses financieros norteamericanos que tienen alli explotaciones. El se ha hecho meritorio de todo el bien que su propia raza pueda ejercitar en su beneficio, y la historia seguamente admitirá que el es acredor a la consideración de parte de la humanidad en general. Un Marcus Garvey libre y al timón del destino de su puglio, pesa mucho mas que miles de Garveys aprisionados entre cuatro paredes. Desportad, elementos concientes de la raza, y persistid en que el Presidente de esta gran nación conceda la libertad a nuestro heroe. La justicia no debe ser shogada por el lague de tiempo de cinco años, haciendo sufrir a un hombre incesente por un error de humanidad. México, dijo, es patria de quince millones de almas y sin embargo los motivos poseen solamente aproximadamente tres millones de dólares en tierras, mientras que los norteamericanos controlan miles de millones. Knowles democrió que el dinero norteamericano invertido en Haiti y la República Dominicana trajo la intervención Qliy y como resultado la asignación de la dictatura en esos países por las fuerzas armada. Las hueses contrincantes en China El mundo entero observa con gran interes los acontecimientos de la guerra civil en China y en la cual contienden las huestes del norte y del sur. El partido del sur ha dividido su opinión sobre la cuestion del comunismo ruso, a lo cual las intelectualidades chinas consideran una influencia peligrosa, afectando la determinación de los poderes europeos, los cuales tratan la situación china con mayor cautela que la usada durante la rebelion de los boxers. Estos poderes han adoptado esa política porque temen mas a la fuerza del Doso ruso, que a las garras del Dragon chino. Es de notarse grandemente el que los Estados Unidos y las naciones de Europa permitieron a los chinos el tratar de solucionar sus cuestiones internos, a lo cual tienen perfectismo derecho. El resultado de esta contienda sería beneficiico al pueblo chino, en el desarrollo final de un pueblo unido bajo su propio gobierno republicano. Este fue el objetivo de Sun Yat Sen al rendir a su pueblo sus grandes servicios. La república china, su sueno, ha de resurgir in cuestionablenente al final de la contienda y ha de perdurar respaldada por la experiencia, dquirida. Tal es el deseo de aquellos que revestidos con toda sinceridad, simpatizan con la noble cauna de ese pueblo. Es imminentemente necesario el que los pueblos de Asia y de Africa, actualmente bajo el dominio y la explotación de los poderes europeos, despierten de su letargo y aprendan a luchar, aunque para obtener tal experiencia tengan que hacerlo entre si. Nada podra hacerles revelarse como la opresión de que son objeto. Las pasiones en China, India y norte y sur de Africa estan mas que agitadas y su expresion ha sido ya demostrada en cada uno de esos grupos de la familia humana. La organización, la lucha, son los medios en que lo pueblos débiles y oprimidos deben cifrar sus esperanzas, con el objeto de aligerarse del peso que les agobie y así utilizar su potencialidad, tanto intelectual como física, en pro de su enalecimiento. Mas de medio siglo de prisión Según los doctores una vez más quedo probado que el tratamiento que se le da en los hospitales a los dementes y criminales dementes no es tan malo como se dice con el hecho de Joseph Baccaro cue acaba de fallecer a la edad de cien años después de haber pasado en un manicomio unos cincuenta y tres años. Sano o loco parece que ha sido un desterrado en solitaria isla habiendo entrado en la cárcel cuando las calles de Nueva York eran todavía harridas por las largas colas de los vestidos de las damas, el teléfono no habia sido inventado todavía, y el conocido Edison se dedicaba a perfeccionar su invento del foniografo. Cuando Baccaro fue a Sing Sing convicto en el condado de Nueva York en el año de 1874 para empezar a servir condena por asesinato Ulyses C. Grant se hallaba en su segundo periodo de presidente de los Estados Unidos. Nueva York era entonces una ciudad de poco menos de un million de habitantes y solamente aquellos de imaginación más viva pensaban en el transvía electrico o en el automovil que vino cinco años más tarde. Baccaro, cuyo nombre desaparecí hace tiempo de los archivos de las cortes de lo criminal juntamente con el proceso que se le hizo, pasó cinco años en la prisión de Sing Sing, y en el año de 1879, cuando Solden perfeccionaba su motor de gasolina. Baccaro fue trasladado al manicomio del estado de Auburn. Cuando de abrió el hospital del estado en Matteavan hue caurenta y cinco años Baccaro fue uno de los primero recluidos y el doctor Raymond F. C. Kieh, comisionado de corrección y superintendente del hospital dijo la noche pasada que Baccaro sufria parxonia. Hace 25 años el hombre que fue condenado a la edad de cuarenta y cinco años fué trasladado a Dammemora donde murio hace unos días. Su estancia en la prisión, aunque no bate el record en Nueva York, excede en dos años a la de Jess Fonneroy que pasó circunstancia y un anfo en una prisión del estado de Massachusetts. SPANISH AND ENGLISH TRANSLATED BY RELIABLE CORRESPONDENT Address: Negro World Office 145 West 10th St., New York, N. V. Magazine Section 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 FLORENCE, Italy, April. - For many centuries this city of 300,000 souls has been the Mecca for art lovers the world over. Michael Angelo, Dante Benvenuto Cellini, Fra Angelo, Giotto Lorenzo the Magnificent, all had their homes here. John Milton played the organ in the great cathedral, and Browning, Ruskin, Lowell and many other great American artists and writers also spent considerable time here. Here also was the home of Galileo, the astronomer, who, it will be recalled, was compelled by the churchmen to sign the famous document, which declared that the earth was flat and did not move around the sun, but that the sun moved around it. Florence was really the home of the Renaissance; so far an artistic production is concerned the only other place in the world that can be mentioned in the same breath with it is ancient Athens. Hence to come to Italy and not visit Florence, or Florence, as it is known here, is like putting your knife in your mouth at table—it shows that you simply don't belong. And because of this tradition the Florentine hotel-keepers wax rich to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars yearly; for it seems that most of the tourists who flock here know little and care less what it's all about, from the manner in which they gallop through the places. It's fashionable to say you have been here, and that's enough. Most of the tourists are English and American. The former do it as a rite, but many of the latter are bored, and confident that those around don't know English, frankly express themselves. "I'm glad this town is the last, and we can have a good rest in Paris," I overheard one elderly lady with a down-home accent say to her tired husband. Both were being dragged around by an enthusiastic daughter. It was their fourth palace that morning, and there are some seventy-six palaces in Florence. These palaces were built many centuries ago, and today look like anything else but residences. Cold and uninviting as homes, I, at least, would much prefer a steam-heated flat in America. But in their day they were the last word in residences. The rich, of course, have moved out of most of these palaces, many of which are now used as public buildings. The poor, however, have continued to live in their homes built about the same time, and as builders in those days made little or no provision for getting rid of the wastes of the human body by bathing or otherwise, one can imagine how it is. Fancy, as is the case in many sections of Italian and French towns, having to walk a quarter of a mile or more to a water-closet. And these houses, as they are all of stone, are ley in winter. Very little wood is used in building in Italy, as there are almost no trees. At least, I have seen comparatively few. And since Florence is surrounded by great snow-clad mountains, it gets pretty cold. Throughout France and Italy there are public urinals on the streets. In France they are partly covered, but in Italy they are entirely open, and it takes some courage for a prudish Anglo-Saxonized person like myself to use them at first. Wouldn't it be a treat to be able to project one's self into the mind of some of our goody-goody English and Americans when they first see these urinals? But all this is getting away from what ought to be one's chief topic in writing about Florence. Perhaps the most historical place here is the Duomo, or Cathedral, a great structure of bright-colored marble on the exterior with a vast and gloomy interior, whose pillars remind me of the giant trees of California. In this place really centred the power of the great Medici family, which ruled the duchy for a long period. One of them, the Duke Galliano, was assassinated near the altar at the moment of breaking the Eucharist wafer. One of the conspirators, to make sure that the Duke wasn't protected by a shirt of mail, infectionately placed his arm around the Duke's waist as he entered, and said with a OPPORTUNITY Public Speaking Taught by Mail. 10c. will bring you the proposition.

Now this publication, on this publication, no charge will be the information. laugh: "Your Grace, it seems to me you're getting fat." Here also Savonarola, the great reformer, preached many of his most famous sermons. Savonarola possessed such burning eloquence that he won the people away from the Medici, and caused the Florentines to burn many of their art treasures, particularly their pictures of nude ladies. However, he made the mistake of living in a day earlier than his own, for he mixed politics with his preaching, at least so historians say, and was burned alive in the public square. Another famous Florentine was Niccolo Machiavelli, whose book, "The Prince," has been the Bible of almost every successful politician from his day to that of Mussolini. His theory, in brief, is that "rule by the people" is a pleasant fiction; that as a mass they have about as much intelligence and sense of direction as a hen whose neck has been wring and thrown in the yard; that although they talked much about rights, they wouldn't know their rights even if they had them, hence the beat thing was, like a doctor, to give them what you thought best for them, sugar-coating liberally with patriotism, religion, race or any other handy prediction of theirs. This city was also the scene of a color question between blacks and whites (Blanchi and Neri), which raged with even more violence than it did in America because the opponents were more evenly matched. The whites, if I remember rightly, were headed by Dante, and the blacks by Donati. The latter, getting the upper hand, ordered Dante and several of his companions to be burnt alive. Dante escaped, and later got even with Donati when he wrote his immortal work, "The Divine Comedy." He made Donati one of the characters and pictured him on the road to Hell. This color dispute, by the way, was about as logical as one between two Southern whites, one of which is of known Negro ancestry. The followers of Denati were called Blacks, because they represented the priesthood, which wore black. The carmarks of the struggle were about the same as our color question in America, which proves that if all the people in the South were white it would be necessary for the exploiters of labor there to invent something else. Less than two hundred years ago in America it was as out of place to call a poor white woman "Mrs." as it is to call a colored woman so in the South today. The title of such women was "Goody." In connection with the Duoom is a superstition, which is about as amusing as our belief that a horsehoe brings good luck. The great bell of the cathedral is rung on Holy Thursday, and mothers wait, babies in arms, for the first clang of the bell, believing that if the children's eyes are washed at that moment they will never suffer from weak eyes, and that if the little ones take their first steps then they'll never be knocked or bow-legged. One of the most picturesque spots in Florence is the Ponte Vecchio. This bridge, which is over the River Arno, a rapid river which runs through the heart of the town, was built in 1365. The bridge, as well as the streets leading to it, are occupied for some distance entirely by jewelry stores full of watches and beautiful trinkets. The two leading art galleries are the Bargello and the Uffizi Palace, both of which contain priceless originals, one of which is Botticelli's "Birth of Venus." But as to art itself, the persons that seem most interested are the foreigners. And the Florentines can hardly be blamed since the admission fee to most of the places is about twenty-five cents, which in a country of low Ex-Bishop J. E. Guinn, Ex-Bishop J. E.

The Critic Some people are naturally born critics and fault-finders. They fall to see any good in what is accomplished by others unless they are the moving spirit therein, and their greatest delight is to cover their own limitations by exposing the shortcomings of their fellow man—real or imaginary. Much people are found in all ranks of life. Instead of devoting their time to self improvement, they are usually busy watching their fellows so that any mistake may be shown to the world. Such an attitude usually results from an enlarged ego and the selfish desire to advance their own interests, or to show superior knowledge, by pointing out the errors of other people. Those are people who often keep strife and ill-feeling in organizations. They are the inevitable monkey wrench in the machinery. Often they go far in their selfish desires and alms but ultimately they only succeed in turning the light upon themselves and directing attention to their own shortcomings. Onlyools will resent helpful, constructive criticism. It is just as necessary to human progress as the friendly pat upon the shoulder or inspiring words of encouragement, but the confirmed critic and fault-sender whose desires are purely selfish, has no place in the scheme of things. Only they and the unthinking and unwary are deceived by their contemptible methods—Charleston, Missouri. It Is Service That Measures Success It isn't the cut of the clothes that you wear.

Have You a Purchased ROOM You would like to rent to a desirable tenant If no advertiser is in the NORTH WORLD AND CITY UNION MUSEUMS THE PEOPLE'S FORUM Very often we come across divisions of the K. N. I. A, which were the caretakers of Individuals, directly or indirectly, during the time of the division's flourishing, but unfortunately when things fall with the tide of human affairs, and such divisions find it impossible to take the usual care of their dependents, such individuals cease to cherish constructive thoughts for such divisions any more and result in destructive propaganda. Why should they bite the hands that fed them? It does not take foolish and ignorant people to work propaganda, especially destructive propaganda, for in every case that I know of they have always sold themselves in public unknownly. I do not think that any one among us with the average intelligence will refuse to admit that there is a great deal of ignorance yet in existence in our race, and owing to this obvious fact, there are always to be found individuals with a little more common sense to take advantage of the simplicity of the more ignorant ones in our local divisions. In many cases where such malignant individuals are found, when their actions are questioned they tell us that they are foundation members. If one had the right conception and spirit of the principles of the U. N. I. A. and claims to be a divisional foundation member, he or she would endeavor to uphold principles. Some of the officers, after serving many terms in office, apparently believe that they have no right to leave even when some of them have violated the constitution. And when they are compelled to vacate their offices some return to Liberty Hall no more, but stay on the outside and try to make trouble for the association. There are some who return, but by their actions and attitudes one has to say they have come to make trouble. The Supreme Architect has apparently given every living thing something with which it may protect itself somehow. The snakes have their poisonous fangs, the cows their horns, the mules their two hind feet. We of the U. N. I. A., who really mean to uphold the principles for which it stands, have to make up our minds to defend it with our brains, tongues and pens against the enemies from without and within. On the whole, those of us who have superior reasoning qualities have to tender to them our sympathy, though some of us are apparently too foolish to be taught and too ignorant to be led. Those who are capable of learning and are willing to be led, we have to go easy with somehow, cowing to the fact that none of us are perfect. Everybody has some faults, and the best of us must be tolerant with the weaker one. E. Z. ISLAND. To the Editor of The Negro World: In reading your paper some weeks ago I saw in an article where a lady of some division of the association said that the Negro man is not satisfied unless his wife could split the expenses of the family fifty-fifth. She went on to say that some of them would come home and sit down to the table and eat meals without the knowl- SHAVE WITHOUT A RAZOR Just put on Magic Shaving Powder and then the hair will self-colour and then and after any爽剂 treatment.

Negro Women Must Help Their Men MILK ```markdown ``` edge of how it came, which is really true. Such men we have today. But you know men like these we cannot reckon on. Men like these are good for nothing, worthless ones. But aside from this let us see the men of our race in a different light. Let us look at the environments. Let us see the condition they are placed in. And let us pity them. We know the odds that are against them daily. Let us feel that their hands to do for us are like unto the hands of our races. Let us see that our men are handicapped. Let us see the barriers that are placed in their way. Let us not forget on them. Let us not forget the closet we have in view and the goal to which we are aspiring. We are meeting on to nationhood. We are striving to create a government. Then I feel we would be better able to prove the value of our men. We would be better able then to decide among ourselves as to whether our men would have their wives go with them fifty-fifty or would they care and protect us like other races do their wives. [ The men of other races are in position to properly take care of their women. Our men have to depend on them for a job and they are worked hard for small wages, therefore, we cannot afford to say anything about them. I am pleased to see how well the thoughtful, ambitious men of our country take care of their wives considering the disadvantages that confront them. If we think well and are ambitious women and would like to live on a higher plane, can we afford to sit down and wait on our husbands until down's day to better conditions? Do you think the women of other races waited on their husbands for everything? Let us who have children take into consideration the many years we will have to wait on us. husbands to care for us like other races do from the wages they pay our men. So, let us think differently. Let us as women have high ideals, let us unite ourselves to our husbands and work hard today, so we may rest tomorrow. If we love our men, we can readily see that they need help, that they need every minute of our time. The men of other races can afford to keep his wife at home. He can afford to set her down at home and take to her the luxuries of life because they have a government and it affords them everything the world can give. So let us encourage our men, let us see their condition and see that we cannot expect much of them. Let us as good women, help shoulder the load our poor men have to bear. Truly they cannot keep us like they should, or like they would like to do, but let us as women work while it is day. Let us grasp the opportunities as they march along. Let us work together and help our men all we can. I feel that our men are good to go, but they need a chance. So let us encourage them all we know, trusting that through the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and with the aid of our women towards our men, knowing that no race can rise above its women we might be able to do better through the greeting of a government on the continent of Africa. Then we know our men will be better able to take care of us, because they will be holding the reins of government in their hands. Then we shall see a better day. Let us not forget we are on our way to nationhood. LILY O. CULMER. Miami, Fla. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1987 BOSTON.—"Justice, not mercy," is demanded in the petition of Bartolo-meo Vanzetti for himself and Nicola Sacco to Governor Fuller, asking the executive to stay their execution and order an investigation of the whole course of their trial and conviction. Incidence of the murders is strongly declared. They would be willing to die for the "cause" of anarchism, "freedom for all men." But they charge, prejudice and "discrimination" against them on the part of Judge Webster Thayer, who presided at their trial at Dedham, in the fall of 1929, has convicted them on a crime they did not commit. The two have been sentenced to die in the electric chair in the week of July 10. The Vanzetti statement submitted to the Governor as a substitute for the printed forms on which men convicted of crime appeal for eclemency, is one of the most amazing documents which has ever figured in a criminal case in Massachusetts. Containing more than 7,000 words and extending over twenty-four typewritten pages, it is a combination of legalistic contentions and anarchistic dreams. In places it follows almost word for word, Vanzetti's speech from the dock on the day Judge Thayer pronounced sentence at Dedham. Some of its passages paraphrase the arguments in Felix Frankfurter's book. At times, the doomed Italian is eloquent; at other times his unfamiliarity with English has produced strange combinations of words which are meaningless at first glance. Although Bacco at the end refused to sign it, the statement throughout is in the form of a joint appeal. In its opening passages it reads: "We, Bartolomeo Vanzetti and Nicola Racca, confined in the jail at Dedham under sentence of death after conviction of the crime of murder in the first degree, hereby pray you to exercise the power conferred upon you by the Constitution of Massachusetts publicly to investigate all the facts of our cases and set us free from that sentence. If the findings will so dictate to your understanding and conscience, We deem the faculty of compassion to be one of the highest of human attributes; but here we are asking not for mercy, but for justice, and this in the reason why we have not used the printed form provided for petition of the nature. It contains the word 'pardon,' which we are unwilling to use, although our counsel has assured us that it does not necessarily mean forgiveness or convey the idea of a confession of guilt. But we wish the utmost possible clearness and precision on this point, and are unwilling to risk being misunderstood." They ask the Governor, in conclusion, to make his investigations in public and not to accept the stories of those who are only willing to give them behind closed doors. Living Descendants Of Martin Luther An interesting revelation has recently been made by the Rev. Otte Staterius of Dankmarschauen, Thuringia, a descendant of Martin Luther who has spent many years bringing to date Nobben's Genealogical Luther Almanac, that there are 612 living descendants of the great reformer, none of whom, however, bears his progenitor's name. Most of the descendants were formerly theologians, but today there are only three, while there are thirty-six business men, twelve farmers and nine engineers. The present day descendants are scattered all over the world, one even residing in Japan with a Japanese wife. All the children of this couple have married Japanese—National Journal and Record.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. It becomes my duty at this time to inform you and the public of the rapid growth that the cause of the U. N. I. A. is now undergoing here. The providential hand of God is now at work in Jacksonville. The cause of the U. N. I. A. has progressed wonderfully in the last three weeks. Three weeks ago a worker from the Gold Coast, West Africa, Mrs. Laura Cofey, came to our city. She comes to us as a real conscious race-lover, and a real product and representative of Garviesry. And a radical one too, if you are fit to call her that. She came working under the auspices of the U. N. L. A. and with a burning message direct from the kings of the Gold Coast, West Africa, to the 15,500,000 of Negroes of America and the 400,000,000 of Negroes of the world. Briefly that message is: That a door is now opened in the Gold Coast, West Africa, for the 400,000,000 of Negroes of the world, and power on earth can shut it until all have entered. The princess speaks every night in the week and twice on Sunday. At every meeting she holds, there are from four to fifty-two persons added to the U. N. L. A. I dare say since she began three weeks ago not less than 300 persons have identified themselves with the Universal tost more than 200 members of the Hawthorne and Hawthorne will wilhelm was the music "Pandora Benevolent Eve N.

COLON, PANAMA We are glad to announce the appointment of Mr. Solomon J. St. Rose, Commissioner, by Madame M. L. De Mena. On Sunday, April 3, Garvey Day, our very spacious hall was packed. Our newly selected president, Mr. F. L. Moulton, and his first vice-president, Mr. D. Prescott, were installed in their respective offices. Our Commissioner, Mr. Solomon St. Rose, then held the august gathering spellbound as he deliberated to them from the topic: "Wiset ye not that I am about my master's business." At the end of this heartful address several persons came and signed their names to the roll of members. We are determined that Garveyism shall thrive in this city; and we feel sure that our President, Mr. Moulton, assisted by his staff of officers and such vigilant members under the supervision of our Commissioner, Mr. St. Rose, will be able to destroy all the parasites of Garveyism and to raise our flag in final triumph. MRS. E. VEITCH JOHNSON. Reporter. New Haven Cuts Tree That Stopped British Shot NEW HAVEN, Conn. May 3.—One of this city's most familiar landmarks disappeared yesterday when the large sycamore tree which stood at the northwest corner of New Haven Green was felled. This tree was at least 227 years of age, and probably was considerably older. The tree was mentioned in the diary of Charles Townsend, the first of the family of that name to come here. In 1779 the Townsend homestead was saved from a rain of British bullets by this sycamore, which stood in front of it. Though one of the healthiest trees along the city streets, it had to be removed in order that the widening of Elm street might be continued. YOUR FUTURE FORECAST! Don't go through Life blindfolded!

The Retirement of General Crowder as Ambassador to Cuba the retirement of General B. H. Crowder as Ambassador to Cuba takes from that sphere of action a man who more nearly than any other American has approached in skill and knowledge the proconsuals which England has been for generations dispatching to India and Africa. His function in Cuba has been far more than a diplomatic one; it has borne a real resemblance to the position of the British commissioners to Egypt, for, thanks to the Platt amendment, General Crowder had a big club to flourish whenever he gave advice to the Cuban President. His long association, with the Wood government in Cuba gave General Crowder a background of Cuban history since 1858 such as is hardly possessed by any other living American. To the development of Cuba he has personally contributed not a little but more and more his task has been to smooth the path of American economic empire. His ability has been beyond question—witness his skill in drawing up and working out the draft law of 1917, which will forever remain a blot upon the American tradition. If he was ruthless then, it is only fair to say that he has kept the mailed flat more under cover in Cuba. The man who takes his place will find it difficult, indeed, to offer anything in exchange for the knowledge and understanding of the Cuban people which has distinguished this general turned diplomat. Little compromising, mercenary, self-styled leacers have always been the curse of the Negro rack.—Dayton Forum. DON'T BE Unlucky!
