MARCUS GARVEY SHALL NOT DIE IN ATLANTA PRISON! Negroes Called Upon to Redouble Their Efforts For the Release of Their Leader As His Health Gives Way Under the Hardships of Confinement Recent news from Atlanta Penitentiary is very disquieting. All is not well, physically, with the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the indications being that his health is giving way under the strain and duress of prison confinement. He retains his mental equipment unimpaired; his indomitable will and courage still serve; but the sorely tried frame, which houses the marvelous mechanism that is the gift of God to the famous leader, is cracking and threatens to crash and crumble. Those who have been able at close range to observe Mr. Garvey, to witness his tremendous capacity for hard and prolonged work, to perceive how little he spared himself and to note the varied effort he was able to crowd into his all too lengthy waking hours, must have been amazed at the ardor of the man, his genius for unremitting toil; they must have contemplated with awe and envy the apparent perfection of the body machinery which, fed as it were from an inexhaustible reservoir of energy, made such enormous output. But little was it known that, back of his tireless activity, his exacting obsession with his noble task, were many sleepless nights, his body racked by asthma, an ailment from which he has long suffered. And so when he was sent to prison 27 months ago those mindful of his malady and well aware how asthma feeds and thrives on inactivity, and lack of sunlight, and enervating prison air, felt keen anxiety for him, and hoped and prayed that full five years of confinement would not be bought. When a few weeks ago, in spite of efforts by the sufferer to keep the fact hidden, it became known that Marcus Garvey was a patient in the prison hospital suffering from la grippe, coupled with a malignant attack of asthma, the anxiety of the few was shared by millions. He was discharged from the hospital, after a fortnight's stay there, in the course of which he lost twelve pounds, and his friends and followers throughout the world breathed a sigh of relief. But it now appears that his condition is not such as to inspire optimism. Hon. Fred. A. Toote, acting president-general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, back from a visit to the penitentiary, gravely warns the members of the Association that unless they redouble their efforts to secure the immediate release of their revered leader, he, Marcus Garvey, the hero and beloved of millions, the father of African Redemption, the victim of the artifice and hypocrisy of an unfeeling age, will be lost to the race—HE WILL DIE IN ATLANTA. Hon. Marcus Garvey, founder and president-general, for the rest of his natural life, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is now a shell of his former self. The light of battle still burns fiercely in his eyes, but it serves only to accentuate the uphill fight which his unconquerable spirit is waging against afflictions of the flesh that get sustenance and strength in prison air. Negroes, what are you going to do? Mens sana in sano corpore—a sound mind in a sound body—is as essential to Marcus Garvey, the accepted leader, the guiding star of the Negro race, as it is to Calvin Coolidge, Benito Mussolini or Aristide Briand; Eugene Chen, Kenal Pasha, or Mahatma Gandhi, the oracles of their respective peoples. We need not mention Stanley Baldwin, or Austen Chamberlain, or Lloyd George, for whom the proud British Empire would fight to the death, pressing Negroes, too, into service, if a hair of their heads was injured by the vandal hand. Elaborate precautions are taken by every people, civilized or so-called uncivilized, to protect the persons of their leaders. When the honored President of this great Republic of America moves, a little army of defenders moves with him, for the leader but serves the people and is entitled to the full, uncompromising protection of the people. When Mussolini fares forth, black shirts, armed to the teeth, precede and follow and flank him, and woe to the miscreant who would do his precious body harm. President Doumergue of France on a forthcoming visit to London will ride through a protecting line of steel to Buckingham Palace. So true it is that white men appreciate the worth of great white men. And the Negro must do no less. Though there is today in the world no powerful African republic to render inviolate the person of its chieftain, wherever he may happen to be, yet in four hundred million black men, scattered through the world, reside the ability and the power to defend the lives of those who have dedicated themselves to service in the interest of the common weal, so that a United States of Africa may issue from the realm of doubt and uncertainty. Marcus Garvey, the protagonist of African Redemption, the painstaking, far-seeing, self-sacrificing builder of a home for Africans, those at home and those abroad, is today languishing in torment, physical and mental, in a prison cell. Far from being a criminal or to be despised, he is a great benefactor of the Negro race, a man to be respected and adored. Continued imprisonment will make of him a physical wreck, a subject for the sanatarium or the grave. There is no time to lose. Marcus Garvey must be saved. Redouble your efforts, Negroes, in the communities wherever you may be. Knock unceasingly at the doors of those who hold the key of Garvey's cell in their hands, and he shall be delivered unto you. And it behooves President Coolidge to see to it that a race is not cast down. THE EDITORS. Vicious Native Bills A Storm Centre In S.African Assembly The Notorious Hertzog Opposes Amendment That Bills Be Referred to Commission Instead of Select Committee with Specious Argument Opposition Would Have Leaders of the Natives Sit on Commission-Proposal to Virtually Re-enslave Blacks Sure to Precipitate Crisis (From The Rand Daily Mail) CAPETOWN, March 30. In the H Havenga, Minister of Finance, had d on the motion that the Native Bills General Snuts' amendment that their committee, was resumed by Sir Drun sula), who urged that everything was commission. CAPETOWN, March 30. In the House of Assembly today, after N. C. Hiawenga, Minister of Finance, had delivered his budget speech, the debate on the motion that the Native Bills be referred to a Select Committee and General Smuts' amendment that there should be a commission instead of a committee, was resumed by Sir Drummond Chaplin (S. A. P., South Peninsula), who urged that everything was to be gained by referring the bills to a commission. During the evening sitting, Mr. C. J. Krige (S. A. P. Caledon) asked the Prime Minister to accept the Opposition's attitude as a bona fide attempt to assist him in dealing with the greatest problem of South Africa. To have an inquiry made by a select committee meant to take the shortest course, but there was no short course towards the solution of the problem, and he appealed to the Prime Minister to accept the amendment so that there might, in any case, be no difference as to the method to be followed in regard to the most complete and the fullest possible inquiry being made. In the course of his further remarks, Mr. Krige pointed out that at the Indian Conference representatives of the Indian people had sat together with the Union representatives. That principle might very well be extended, and leaders of the native and colored people might well be appointed to the commission. Disturbing the Natives Colonel N. J. Pretorius (S. A. P. Witwatersberg) urged that legislation such as that proposed by the Prime Minister could only have the effect of disturbing the native mind. Mr. G. A. Hay (Lab., Pretoria West) challenged the Opposition to be true and logical and go out into the street and say, "We are out to abolish the fundamental color ban, and we want the natives represented by their own people to sit with us in Parliament." General J. b. M. Hertzog (Prime Minister), rising to reply to the debate, at once stated that he could not accept the amendment. As a matter of fact, it was clear to him that 90 per cent. of the members who had spoken were not animated by a desire to get a report at all. They did not want a report. Mr. Micholls, for instance, had been quite open about that. Turning to Major Van Zyl and Mr. Krige, the Prime Minister said that since his appeal at Sipithfield both these members had gone round from platform to platform disapproving in toto of his native policy. That evening Major Van Zyl had disowned any desire of dealing with the matter in a party spirit, although the Prime Minister said, his speeches had been full of party spirit. Ninety per cent. of the speeches showed that members opposite did not want the bills to be passed at all. At the conference in October last at Pretoria it had been agreed that something should be done to solve the whole question and everyone present at the conference had agreed to do his best in that direction. That spirit should be brought about again, and he for one had not given up hope that the whole question might be dealt with in a non-party spirit; and he asked why could the matter not be dealt with by a select committee? Members of Parliament must be looked upon as possessing the confidence of the country, and also as having sufficient intelligence to deal with the question. There was no body of persons so well equipped to deal with the subject, "and," said General Hertzog, "if we are men, we should not try and place the responsibility on some other body."

Disturbing the Natives (Continued on page 6) EUROPE'S PROBLEM IN SOUTH AFRICA African Inveighs Against Impu- dence of the White Invader— Not a "Native Problem" By REV. H. MASHITE-MAIMANE In Abantu-Bathe, Johannesburg In these articles the word "native" is used, not as synonymous with "black man," but in its true sense as meaning "aborigine." The greatest problem that stands before the world today is the problem of the relative position the white and the black man shall occupy in the democracy of the future. In South Africa this problem is wrongly called the "Native Problem," as if the "native" were a horde of pests, like the locusts, that came sweeping from some corner of the earth into South Africa; that it is now a problem to the rightful inhabitants of the land—the whites—how to get rid of these pests which are yearly or daily increasing to the detriment of their interests and well-being. I think the natives would be more justified than the Europeans to call the problem the "Eurasian Problem." Simply speak it, the problem is neither "native" nor "European," nor is it the "black race" or the "white race problem." It is the problem of the relationship of the black and white throughout the world. Here in South Africa the problem of the relationship, socially, industrially and educationally, of the European man and the native man in the only land of the latter. It is a nasty black black problem (using the word "black" in its adjectival force). It needs some light put into it. We are told that South Africa is holding the hottest side of this worldwide problem. Here, I dare to say I much question this dictum. How did South Africa come to hold this hottest side? What is it that makes the problem here to be blackest and most acute? Is it not the South African European who has intentionally or stupidly made his side the hottest? Is it not his own foolishness and his own hard-heartedness that have made the problem here blackest? How did he do this? He did it by his determination, since he first landed here, to make this a white man's land, where he bears absolute rule, and the native, if not exterminated, is to remain a serf. That longing, craving and that determination has been and will ever be a curse to him, and has, and is, reening upon him. But he did not only sit and long, crave and determine theoretically and abstractly, but he set forth to materialize his ideas. How did he do this? He destroyed the native's clan system, preached the destruction of every native custom or industry regardless of any merits in them as heathen and not compatible with Christianity. He did many other things against the native to make himself the lord of the land. Worst of all, he framed, and is yet framing, oppressive laws and regulations to govern the native and to retard his progress. Lecture on African Art In Spain Given by On Friday evening, April 29, at St. Luke's Hall, 125 West 150th street, New York City, Mrs. Anna R.

Will Plead for European as Well as Native Labor at International Conference (From The Rand Daily Mail, March 30) An unofficial delegate to plead on behalf of native and, if necessary, it is claimed, European trade unionism in South Africa, is to attend the forthcoming International Labor Conference at Geneva. He is Clements Kadalle, the national secretary of the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union, whose National Council, "in consequence of his nomination as a delegate of the numerically strongest organizations in this country being rejected, the inability or unwillingness of the European unions to agree on the personnel of the South African delegation, and the possibility of organized Labor being without representation because of the pulsillinous attitude of the Minister of Labor," has directed him to leave for Geneva immediately after the I. C. U. annual congress in Durban at Easter. This course was unanimously agreed to last night as a result of the following telegram being received from the Minister of Labor, with whom the union headquarters had communicated yesterday in reference to the representation deadlock, and asking that Kadalle, as the delegate of the most representative organization, be appointed: "Minister of Labor cannot regard I. C. U. as most representative industrial organization in South Africa, and is not prepared to appoint its nominee for genova." The I. C. U. it was officially stated last night, had had definite assurance that the Amsterdam International (with which it is affiliated), the British Trade Union Congress, and other Labor bodies in Britain would, in the event of native Labor not being represented at the conference, challenge the credentials of the South African European delegates and demand that Kadalle be heard as the official spokesman of a bona fide trade union organization, whose extraordinarily high membership merited official recognition. Kadalle stated last night that if necessary he would plead for European as well as native labor. Tornado in Turkeyan Ruine Cotton Crop TAMIKENT. Turkestan.—A tornado followed by heavy rain in is reported to have destroyed 75 per cent of the cotton crop in several districts of Western Asia. In the Andijan district, it is estimated 12,000 acres of plantations were destroyed. Several dams were broken and irrigation works seriously damaged, flooding villages, in Fereghana Province, the main cotton center of Turkestan. New York Press Women, Aided by Snelson, Organize Club The Women's Press Club of the City of New York held an interesting meeting at the Urban League building on Tuesday evening, May 10. The organization of the club was perfected at this meeting and the following officers cited: Ferol V. Reeves-Smout, Negro World, president; Thelma E. Berluck, Amsterdam News, vice-president; Sarn Edwin Jenkins, New York News, secretary; Bessave J. Bearden, Chicago Defender, treasurer. The club was organized some weeks ago by Mr. Floyd G. Snelson, nationally known columnist and newspaperman. All Negro women in New York City on the staffs of newspapers or magazines, feature writers or columnists, are eligible for membership. All of the Negro publications are now represented in the club membership and members of the staffs of the magazines have promised to join. Among those who are now included in the membership of the club are: Ethel R. Murray, Interstate Tattler; Esther M. Harvey, New York Age; Cora Gary-Hillidge, Chicago Defender, and Geraldine Dismond, Pittsburgh Courley. The club is already actively engaged in assisting the X. W. C. A. in collecting clothing, shoes, etc. to send to the flood district. Mrs. Beasaye J. Boarden is chairman of the committee to aid the flood sufferers. She has already made a very splendid showing in behalf of the club. This is the first community activity in which the club has participated. CATARRH STOPPED IN ONE DAY "Choking Catarrh and Head Noises Left the First Day," Is the Amazing Statement of a Missouri Resident Hawking, spitting, choking Catarrh and Bronchial Asthma, Head Noises and the many acute symptoms of catarrh that he experienced despite any noises. Now it is possible for those who suffer from this dire disease to stop their troubles often in the amazing statement of one who has taken the new treatment. This famous Formula is bringing joyous new health and freedom of people where everything else had failed. "I want to say that my catarrh was absolutely stopped the first day I was treated, my nose was continually filled up, causing my head to be stopped up. I was very tired, I had little thing to treat, my nose was continually hawking and spitting and was a source of great embarrassment before people in my nothing of the constant suffering. I usually say that all these troubles left me the first day after taking this remarkable new treatment called W-R Formula, and I will be complete and permanent. Gently bless me." This wonderful Formula is prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world, specially used at home, and seems to work like magic in its rapidity on people of all ages. No matter how bad your condition, no matter what your age, occupation, or background, you can get from cataracts, bronchial asthma, headache, etc. I am no confident that W.R. Formula will end their troubles that after only 12 days trial. If the results are not satisfactory and you are not more than pleased in every way, it costs you nothing, dreams to D. W.

A GERMAN GIRL'S UNPARDONABLE SIN Berlin Professor's Daughter Gets Nine Months' Hard Labor in Cohabiting with African The following news item was clipped from an English daily newspaper: "The color bar in South Africa, where the white population of a few millions is outnumbered to the extent of 20 to 1 by the native races, is necessarily strict, and the law has no sympathy for the white man or woman who is so unmindful of racial obligations as to cohabit with one of another color. "This fact was emphasized in the Rand High Court when Hilda Schmitt, the daughter of a German university professor, and a trained nurse, who served with the German forces on the Western Front in the Great War, pleaded guilty to the serious charge of having had unlawful relations with a colored man. She had been previously convicted of a similar offense in Natal. "In pleading for lenency, counsel pointed out that the woman came from Europe, where the distinctions of color were not so marked as in South Africa or so seriously regarded. The South African laws were framed in view of the country's known conditions, but it was difficult for some persons born in Europe to realize that actions such as these were crimes at all. Miss Schmitt had relatives in Germany to whom she would go if released. Her father was a professor at a Berlin university. If the woman were deported, instead of being permitted to leave of her own free will, she would reach her own country permanently branded. "Judge, I am not sure that she is not permanently branded already. She is going to have a child by one of these natives, is she not?" "This fact was admitted." "His lordship commented that investigations had not produced any evidence to justify him dealing with the woman as mentally deficient. He would have to treat her as an ordinary criminal and sentenced her to nine months' hard labor." Services of Negro Executives Offered to Aid Flood Victims The National Urban League has offered the services of two of its trained executives for work among the colored sufferers in the flood area. A telegram was sent to President Coolidge, to which the President replied stating that the matter had been referred to the Red Cross for immediate action. The telegram to President Coolidge follows: "Inaamuch as Negroes in the Mississippi food area are a large proportion of the sufferers, and the National Urban League, with branches in forty-four cities, in the outstanding Negro social service movement in America, we offer the federal government or the Red Cross, through you, the services of Jesse O. Thomas of Atlanta, Ga., southern field secretary, and T. Arnold Hill, director of industrial relations to serve in any capacity in this crisis determined by you or the Red Cross. These men have had many years' experience in social service activities." MAYOR SMITH OF DETROIT APPEALS TO PRESIDENT TO RELEASE MR.

I feel as Mayor of Detroit and having made a The following excerpts are taken from one of a series of masterly articles on the Chinese Crisis by Thomas F. Millard, which are published once a week in the New York World: By THOMAS F. MILLARD SHANGHAI, May 15. The latest statement by Sir Austen Chamberlain, Foreign Secretary of Great Britain, concerning his Government's policy toward China was a veritable bombshell among standpat foreigners here, who almost lack language strong enough to express their feelings. Many, especially the British, thought that if Britain failed to obtain cooperation of the United States and Japan she would act alone. This idea was quashed by Chamberlain's note plainly declaring British forces would not be used to retake Hankow nor to undertake punitive operations in the Yangtse region, nor would London send a drastic note about the Nanking outrages. Interventionists realize now there is nothing stirring in their line under present conditions and that intervention must await another occasion, which the standpats predict will happen soon. This disclosure of the real position of Britain diverts attention for the time being from America as the "great betrayer of foreign rights and prestige in China," and turns continually upon London. The British press here, which freely criticised President Coulidge's reluctance to embark upon an intervention policy, now seems stunned. A leading British organ discussed the Foreign Secretary's speech gloomily and ironically. "Some statements of Sir Austen really insult thoughtful people," this newspaper said. "We like being housed when that is understood, but we hate to pretend we are stupid enough to take seriously and solemnly such a grotesque distortion of existing facts and inquired prospects as are embodied in Chamberlain's view of the situation. We must resent such bland challenges of our intelligence, such a cool assumption of our stupidity." On the other hand, foreigners who believe the situation requires moderation and who oppose intervention on broad grounds, approve Chamberlain's policy. The Chinese are immensely relieved at the removal of their fear of early foreign military occupation. "The withdrawal of the menace of foreign military action," according to C. T. Wang, member of the Kuomintang Centre Wing and a former Premier at Peking, "leaves the Chinese Nationalist movement free to work out its own salvation. We now can concentrate on purging disturbing elements and can continue our efforts to stamp out militarism and restore civil authority.

Marcus Garvey. The petition, which is signed by the delegates to the recent conference of the Divisions of the U. N. I. A. in Jamaica, held at Liberty Hall, Port Antonio, speaks for itself. In addition many officers and members of divisions also signed. The list of signatures is very tall and is not included for publication. We sincerely hope that our endeavors for the release of our great leader will bear much fruit. I am, yours for racial uplift, CHAS. D. JOHNSON, Secretary of Conference, Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. L.

Your petitioners on behalf of the tens of thousands of members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Jamaica, do humbly request of His Excellency, Calvin Coolidge, the release without deportation of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. We feel that, however much he unknowingly transgressed against the laws of your great country, his confinement in prison has been long enough to arouse the sympathy of His Excellency, the President, to the extent that he will cause Mr. Garvey to be released and enable him to return to the head of our organization, to direct a movement which will be of great benefit to the American nation. Your petitioners feel that the keen sense of justice of your grant and good President will be arranged, and that the early release of the Nea. Marvous Garvey will buy an accomplished fact, thus enabling God's eternal blessing on your country. And your petitioners in duty ever pray. (Marmurus follow:) LIBERTY HALL. IN TEARS AS BON. FRED. TOOTE WARNS THAT CONDITION OF GARVEY IS SERIOUS Back from Visit to the Leader at Atlanta Penitentiary He Declares That Marcus Garvey Will Be Lost to Negro Race Unless Efforts to Secure His Release Are Intensified PRISON RIGORS TAKING SEVERE TOLL ON HEALTH Brings Greetings to the Membership and Leader's Appreciation of All That Is Being Done in His Behalf—Thousands Kneel in Prayer, Led by Professor Williams of Virginia NEW YORK, Liberty Hall, Sunday Night, May 15.—The New York shrine of Liberty Hall saw a gathering of the faithful in their thousands tonight, all eager to hear news of their leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, from the lips of Hon. Fred. A. Toote. The latter, who left headquarters a few days ago on a brief visit to Atlanta to interview Mr. Garvey, let it be known he would be in the presiding officer's chair as usual tonight, and the result was a packed auditorium. All seemed to be in high spirits, in anticipation of the welcome news in store. But sadness soon pervaded the throng. Gravely and in slow and measured language Mr. Toote startled his hearers with the announcement that if "they did not bring about some means of having Marcus Garvey released, Garvey is going to be lost to the Negro peoples of the world." As he continued to speak you could hear the proverbial pin drop, and before he had concluded his statement many men and women were in tears. The sadness of the moment was heightened when, after the fervent singing of "God Bless Our President," at Mr. Toote's direction the vast audience went on bended knees and joined Professor Williams, of Virginia, who was the speaker of the evening, in prayer "to the Great Jehovah for the care and comfort and early release of a man who had deserved the undying gratitude of a race." OH, YOU MUST COME OVER EXTRAORDINARY MILITARY BALL AND VAUDEVILLE ENTERTAINMENT 140th to 141st Streets, on Lenox Ave., N. Y. C. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1927 The meeting opened with the usual processional, the officers, attended by members, of the various auxiliaries and preceded by the choir, marching to the rostrum. Exercises of the legionnaires followed, after which prayers were said by Hon. Fred. A. Toote. An excellent concert program was then rendered, marked by two striking features—one, the singing of the song, "Keep Cool," by Mrs. Ulric Hassel, and the other a recitation on "The Negro," by Miss Hendrickson, daughter of Bishop Endowed Hendrickson, of Abyssinia, "Keep Cool" is the title of a poem written by the Hon. Marcus Garvey in prison, which has been set to music, and its splendid rendition by Mrs. Hassel was rapturously applauded. But the honors of the evening went to Miss Hendrickson, who fairly made the audience gasp with her eloquent and hard-hitting story in verse, delivered in finished recitative style. Compelled to return, she again enthused with a race story of great power. Bishop Hendrickson's Address The first speaker of the evening was Bishop Endowed Hendrickson, of Abyssinia, who in his imitable style bade his hearers eschew the pernicious propaganda that had been served up to them for centuries by the oppressor, know themselves and be ever mindful of their great past. It was his great pleasure, he said, to have been among the good people of Philadelphia that afternoon, and without in any way seeming to reflect upon the fortitude and loyalty of the New York members he desired to state that a more earnest, loyal and forward-looking group of Negroes than the U. N. L. A. members of Philadelphia it was very difficult to find. Their hearts were turned to Garveyism and they were determined to leave no stone unturned to put the programme over. HON. F. LEVI LORD'S APPEALS Hon. F. Levi Negro, Chancellor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was the next speaker. After expressing his great pleasure at seeing so many of them present that evening, he craved indulgence as he proceeded to make a stirring appeal for funds. Mr. Lord is a great favorite with the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 2017 people of Liberty. Hail and his appeal met with a very generous response. The offering lifted, Mr. Tweets next introduced Prof. Williams of Virginia, who, he said, was on the eve of taking up work in connection with Liberty University. Mr. Williams was a teacher at the Armstrong High School of Richmond, Virginia, and had placed himself at the disposal of the Association to be used in any way that would be of benefit, especially in relation to the University at Claremont, Va. PROF. WILLIAMS' ADDRESS PROF. WILLIAMS ADDRESS Prof. Williams, in humorous vein, soon won his hearers, and asked them to bear with him as he drove home one or two points. He said: "The first one is that the black man in America, the black man in this world, no matter where he lives, has to make up his mind that he is going to attend to his own business and not leave his business for the white man to attend to. We must make up our minds to run our own businesses, and by that we do not mean that we are going to fall out with anybody, quarrel or fuss with anybody. As men we have got to take care of our own homes, our own women, and as a people we have to take care of ourselves. The True Education "The second thing I want to turn your attention to is the matter of your school. The black man is simply ashamed of his background because he does not know what it is. If he knew what it was he would not be ashamed of it. It was a mighty dark day when somebody in this world painted black evil, and it is still darker because we believe it. Now I do not believe that the devil is any blacker than he is white, but you believe the devil is black. I would not challenge you to hold up your hand and say you don't believe the devil is black—you may be afraid he may get hold of you. Why? Because every devil you see is painted either red or black, and you believe what you have seen. The devil can turn any color he wants to turn, but the white man tells us he is black. We have got to remove ignorance of our background so that we can know what the truth is. We must know the truth, and it will make us free. And if we must know the truth, we must be willing to pay the price. If you are not willing to pay the price, you can never know enough. Paving the Price "Yes, the third point I want to emphasize is, if the black man throughout the world expects to be educated and measure his arm with that of the other fellow, he must pay the price. He must have the opportunity to study and he must be willing to do it. No one group of people is going to pay the price for another group. Whoever thinks so is badly mistaken. Do you think so? Do you think the white man in this country is going to put in his school the curricula and the things necessary to make the black man his equal? If you think so, then Officials Blamed for Little Rock Lynching After interviewing Mayor Meyer and Sheriff Haynes of Little Rock, Governor Martineau of Arkansas has stated his conviction that police and sheriff's forces could have averted the lynchings of John Carter, Negro, on the night of May 4. Little Rock newspapers also take the same view. At the request of the acting mayor, State troops were finally sent in to restore order, while Carter's death was being investigated by the grand jury. you are deemed to disappointment. He is not going to do that. It is for the Negro group, like every other group, to prepare to pay the price of their own salvation. The speaker then directed attention to the remarkable influence the Garvey movement had on Harlem, a place where 250,000 Negroes lived. Go into the A. P. stores and today they would see Negroes, mingled with whites behind the counters. It was now good business policy to have Negroes as salesmen, for Negroes had become race conscious. In this way the young men of the race were being given an opportunity to learn of that great group, the Jews, how things were done, and with the knowledge gained the Negro would soon be in a position to run businesses of his own successfully. What John Bull Fears The speaker ended with a moving appeal to his hearers to keep united, realizing that therein strength lay, and work with might and main to put over the program. Think of it, he exclaimed, 500,000,000 people in the British empire and only 75 million of these white folks; the rest all colored folks. That was the world's problem, for it was clearly understood that 425,000,000 could free themselves from the yoke imposed by 75,000,000 when and if they dared. And here it was where the teachings of the wonderful and unique organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, John Bull, for all his battleships and aeroplanes and submarines was afraid of nothing so much today as Africa's millions, the black millions of the world. John Bull had more fear of the man, Marcus Garvey, now behind prison walls in Atlanta, than of all the battleships and battle cruisers of any other nation. ABRUZZI VISITS ABYSSINIA Official Trip Is Expected to Strengthen Relations with Italy NAPLES, April 25.—The Duke of Abruzzi, accompanied by Governor Gasparini of Eritrea and four other officials, sailed tonight aboard the destroyer Venegia, for Ibuit, French Somaliland, where they will proceed inland to Adis-Abele, Abyssinia, to visit the Prince Regent Ras Taffarl. The visit, on behalf of King Victor Emmanuel, is in return for one made to Italy three years ago by Ras Taffarl. The Duke, whose visit is expected to strengthen the friendly political relations between Italy and Ethiopia, is taking to Abyssinia a luxurious automobile, a gift of the King to the Empress. A fighting tank for Ras Taffarl, a bracelet set with many diamond, valuable toys for the royal children and many other gifts. Big Rush for Small Job in Great Britain While the problem of unemployment in Britain is usually regarded as largely affecting the working classes, skilled and unskilled labor, the rush for a job paying $1,500 a year at Grimshy this week is a pointed reminder that unemployment severely affects some of the supposedly more fortunate sections of society, says the London correspondent of the New York Sun. An advertisement was placed in the papers to fill the post of secretary of the Grimshy and District Hospital, which carries with it a salary of only $1,500. There were 200 applications. Those who sought the job included admirals, rear admirals, captains, barristers, solicitors, doctors and clergymen. In April there were 1,330,759 unemployed persons in the country. It is conservatively estimated that for fifteen years to come there will be 6 per cent. of the population unemployed. That figure is regarded in labor quarters as an underestimate. BUDAPEST, Hungary. - Bachelors are to provide funds to care for the old age of parents of numerous children—not voluntarily, but by means of a tax announced by the ministry of public welfare. There is no intent in the new measure to force bachelors to marry, according to Dr. Vas, minister of public welfare. A lesser tax is to be levied on householders where there is only one child, the proceeds to be directed to the same purpose. Because mental illness is a disorder of the entire individual and not merely of the mind, the diet should be prescribed with the same care concerning proper balance and vitamin content as in physical illness, says Dr. L. D. Hubbard in Hygein. Mental defectives, even idiots, do not appear to suffer greatly from dietary errors. Save Marseus Garvey Now Before It Is Too Late Manufacture of armor in the middle ages finally reached such a high point of development that its cumbersome weight finally carried it down to disuse and the museums. It was one of the great disadvantages of plate armor that when a man was once in it he could not get out again without help, says the Detroit News. Sometimes it became so jammed in the course of battle that the services of a blacksmith were required to enable the soldier to undress. The combatant was literally a castle of steel while on his war horse but a helpless log when overthrown. After a battle the field frequently had the appearance of being covered with crustaceans, and to dispatch these "shell flab" foot soldiers generally followed up the mounted warriors with hatchets and hammers with which they broke the visors of the headpieces before those rendered unconscious from their unhorsing could be put "hors de combat." WASHINGTON, D. C., May 9.—The position of the United States in the economic world affords pessimists and critics but little opportunity for unfavorable comment. Great Britain has closed its fiscal year with a financial deficit of $180,000,000. The United States will close this year in June with a surplus of $500,000,000. Great Britain received $335,000,000 in customs duties. The United States will receive about $600,000,000. Great Britain received $1,455,000,000 from estate, excess profit and income taxes, while the United States will receive $2,200,000,000.

Bade, American archaeologist, has discovered an ancient Semitic temple at Tel-en-Ansah, with the remains of a still earlier building underneath. Tuesday the staff of the expedition and friends in the mission at Ramallah held a service in the excavated temple, Jews, Christians and Moslems streamed up the ancient hill on which the temple was built, scaled the gigantic wall surrounding the town and entered into the one-time sacred area, where the last previous service probably was held more than 2,000 years ago. One of the rooms of the excavated temple contained flint knives used in religious ceremony and also a rock on the earl side of the ruin which doubtless was used for sacrifice. Cups and bowls for offerings were found near by. In caves and storerooms beneath this room a variety of pottery and tomb deposits were found, affording glimpses of life in Palestine before the time of Abraham. Workmen are now removing the ancient temple to discover what is underneath it.

In an address before the students at the University of Chicago, Prof. A. E. Ross of the University of Wisconsin, declared that one hundred years from now, the population of the world will be 60,800,-000, provided birth and death rates remain as they are. Today, the world death rate is 15 per 1,000 and the birth rate 45 per 1,000, Prof. Ross said. In the last 90 years, the population has doubled. Reliable Agents to handle The Negro World in South Africa Write for Information to Circulation Department SEATTLE, May 4. — Successful trisection of all angles, a problem that has haunted mathematicians for 2,000 years, was claimed today by Bertice C. Hastings, a fifty-two-year-old Seattle high school instructor. Trisection of angles is one of the three geometric problems unsolved by mathematicians. The problem—which was studied by Archimedes, the Greek philosopher, as early at 160 B. C. and by Rene Descartes and Sir Isaac Newton in the seventeenth century—was solved by Hastings with the aid of a ruler, a compass and certain established geometric principles, he told inquilers last night. Squares are constructed within the angle to be trisected, he explained, but the rest of the process is too technical for comprehension by the layman without the use of extensive diagrams. Engineers, designers and draftsmen. Haartings declared, will find the discovery to have practical application of great value. Armor in Middle Ages Disadvantage to Wearer U. S.

"Ludendorff has a peculiar habit of breaking his bread into small bits the minute he altas down for a meal," Prof. Vogel narrates. "Three small pieces of bread he molds into pellets. If he makes them slowly, with one hand only, it means that he is in good humor. If he turns them quickly, a storm is brewing. And if he uses both hands, things are in pretty bad shape and everybody is extremely careful not to irritate him."

NEW YORK, MAY 21, 1927 No. 18 The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are correctly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. THE SILENT PROTEST SUNDAY, May 8, as announced in the news columns of The Negro World of May 14, was a memorable day in the life of the people of New York's Harlem. Ten thousand members of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and members of nearby locals, took part in a gigantic parade, silent and solemn, in protest against the continued imprisonment of Hon. Marcus Garvey. The sidewalks were lined with interested onlookers and sympathizers, and the silence which prevailed with paraders and onlookers created an atmosphere of great impressiveness, which was felt by all of the great mass of people. Marcus Garvey has not lost his hold upon the imagination and sympathies of the Negro people. They continue to have faith in the man and his mission for the redemption of Africa and the betterment of the condition of the Negro people everywhere, and they labor and will continue to labor that he may receive a pardon from President Coolidge and be restored to them and his work. The silent parades and prayers and petitions of the faithful for a pardon for Marcus Garvey should avail much. We expect that they will. Therefore, let the parades and prayers and petitions continue to be invoked. It is the steady pull and the pull all together that moves mountains of obstacles. WHICH WILL DOMINATE—ANGLO-AMERICAN OR BUSSO-ASIATIC COALITION THE members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the Negro everywhere, are vitally concerned in the alignment of world powers and what each of the groupings alignment of world powers and what each of the groupings means to them. The African and Asiatic are the victims of the proposed world alliance of the English-speaking people, as outlined by Count Coudenhove-Kalergi, a portion of whose article in Acht Uhr Abenblatt was quoted in The Negro World of May 14. The policy of the European whites towards the Asiatic and the African has become sufficiently outlined during the past fifty years of conquest and exploitation, but that the English-speaking people should align themselves as the dominant overlords, with control of the League of Nations, is a new development growing out of the World War, which President Wilson helped to make possible with his scheme of "self-determination for minority groups," and the multiplicity of small nations, which Great Britain and its dominions with their predominance of voting power promptly took over and measnrably controls. American cooperation is the only necessary thing to make possible the alliance of English-speaking people which threatens the life of the aboriginese of Asia and Africa just as certainly as that the Red man of the Americas and the Black fellows of the Pacific and Australia have been absorbed or exterminated. It is beginning to dawn upon the other nations that the British American, or English-speaking peoples' alliance would subordinate the European States as well as the States of Asia and Africa, and with the same show of greed and tyranny in domination that is shown towards the people of Asia and Africa. Domination of the League of Nations by Great Britain, with its dominions, has practically destroyed the independence of the other European nations, which find by the rule of the majority that they must submit or bolt, as some of them did last year. More are likely to bolt, but it will affect but little the domination of the League of Nations by Great Britain, which has the silent support of the United States in most of its policies in Asia and Africa and the Pacific States. Count Kalergi says that "before our eyes is taking place the battle for world supremacy between the Anglo-Saxons and the Soviets. The great leaders of the two parties have a clear world program. That of the Soviet leaders is known. The following is the Russian Soviet program as the count figures it out: 1—Liberation of the Asiatic and African colonial people. 2—Victory of the revolutionary laborers and peasant in Europe, America and Australia. 3—Entrance of all nations, on the basis of national autonomy and equality, into the union of Socialistic Soviet republics, which consider themselves as the embryo of the coming world republic. The world programme of the Anglo-Saxons 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. How lead it? By domination of the League of Nations, political control of Asia and Africa; economic control of Europe and South America; strangulation of Russia into a dependent colony. This is a very ambitious program, but with the exception of the strangulation of Russia, the program now prevails in the West Indies and Central America, the Pacific States, Asia and Africa. ORGANIZATION WORK IN AFRICA GROWING NOTHING that comes out of Africa is more encouraging than the information that the masses of the people are being armed and unified and organizing under their own leadership to protect their interests of whatever sort from the destruction the presence and domination of European whites threaten. The good work of the African Congress has often been referred to as the Negro World. It is an intelligent organization with complex leadership which knows its rights and has the courage of its convictions. It is waging a strong and effective campaign to save the race through the miss efforts of the race itself. And the Negro newspapers of Africa are doing a masterful work, against great odds, to create and back up the work of organization. Nothing can be achieved without proper organization and leadership. The efforts of the English and the Dutch to steal the lands and enslave the Negroes of Africa is meeting with increasing opposition from the Negroes of Africa, who have the active sympathy of the Negroes of the world. One of the signs that the Negroes of Africa are being aroused and are organizing under their own leadership to protect their economic and other interests in South Africa is contained in a message sent to the editor of a race magazine in New York by Clements Kadalie, national secretary of the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union of Africa, writing from Johannesburg, South Africa, who says: "We have also made very rapid progress in this country beyond the expectation of any man or woman. Our membership has increased to over 75,000, and it is quite possible that before long we shall reach 100,000." This statement of facts by such an authority is wonderfully cheering and inspiring, when it is remembered that the present government of the Union of South Africa has determined as a policy to reduce the Negroes to a state of economic restriction and drudgery, in the interest of white labor, insofar as to amount to a form of slavery. The white labor unionist everywhere meets competition of the Asiatic and African by restrictions of one sort and another, by legislation, and by force, in which intimidation and murder often play a conspicuous part. The Asiatic and African, as in the case of China and India and South and North Africa, are learning to fight the white man's fire with fire of their own. Unless they learn to fight the white man in this way they are not going to gain anything but defeat and humiliation, because the white man is a brutal and persistent animal where his labor and his dollar are concerned.

EDITORIAL OPINION THE world which is not diplomatic, but which controls diplomacy, has decreed that the Treaty Powers, including the United States, shall keep aloof from the internal warfare of the Chinese people and leave them to work out their own salvation, with the hope that such a Republic of China will come out of it all as Sun Yat Sen dreamed of and labored for. The disposition of Great Britain to resort to the old ways of forcing China to do what she wanted done fell through because the United States and Japan refused their co-operation. Why did they refuse, and continue to refuse it? Because the spirit of democracy has got into China and India, backed by Russian Communism, and everybody is afraid to start something that will spread into a war of the white and darker races. That is the color of it all. And that is color enough for the time being. SECOND EXCURSION TO UNIVERSAL LIBERTY UNIVERSITY AVERY large number of members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association took advantage of the first excursion, some months ago, to visit the Universal Liberty University, at Claremont on the James River, in Virginia, and they were greatly pleased and benefited by the trip. They had the benefit of the outing and they had the pleasure of seeing for themselves the splendid school which the organization controls, its spacious grounds and imposing buildings. It gave them the necessary information upon which to draw conclusions as to the value of the educational work which the association is in a strong position to do. The second excursion to Universal Liberty University has been announced to leave New York Saturday night, May 28, at 9 o'clock. We venture to say a very much larger number of members of New York, Philadelphia, and other points, will embrace this opportunity to visit the university and "see for themselves and not for another," the splendid school and the splendid work which they control, and thus be inspired to renewed efforts to furnish the school all of the students and money necessary to make it the most successful possible. What the Negro most needs everywhere is more education of the head and hand. Education, and more education, is the watchword of the civilization of which we are a part. We can't get anywhere without education and plenty of it. See Universal Liberty University for yourself and thus be inspired to redouble your enthusiasm and determination to help on the educational work of the association. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS It is strange that there are so many hard-hearted church people who never want to see anything good done. The rulers of Israel protested against Peter and John's kind act. Does that not nastonish you? And yet there are mess-back heard-hearted trustees, steward, and even preacher, who in this day will protest against any good thing done which they did not originate. —Christian Recorder.

We could no more prove our mental superiority with an international or world verdict than could the Anatics, because we hardly hold the balance of population. We can only render our own verdict of self-satisfaction. And so long as this belief remains an unchallenged conviction, we are likely to remain at peace with the rest of the world. When, however, opposing forces raise the issue of international differences or racial distinctions, when one set of people get too "cocky," there is always some other power ready and willing to knock the proterbal chip off of the conventional shoulder.—Tampa Bulletin. The law ought to be more firm against the mobs when a Negro's care is in under consideration than at any other time. There ought not to be any pleading, begging and crying at the feet of a mob. The way to deal with a mob is for the law to use just a little permission in the form of a few photos aimed directly at the leaders who fail to heed a warning that the hedon and majesty of the law must be respected at all cost.—St. Louis Argus.

Beware of the candidate who wows what he will do for you as a group and talks of how he loves the colored people. We clamor for no special favors. If we have many times been called upon to compete with but half a chance against those who had a whole chance and have made as good a showing as we have, it is reasonable to suppose that we have no need of more than a square deal.—California Voice. Hundreds of our young people are making complete failures of their lives because they are not willing to do consciously and efficiently the very work for which they are best prepared. They prefer to preach poor sermons to the building of good houses, to be fifth-rate lawyers instead of first-rate farmers, bankers without knowledge of finance to fishermen skillfully casting down their nets or anything, rather than the thing for which they are best fitted. -Newport Nowa Star.

If, as a group, we aspire to any better feeding than we now need, we must get rid of the idea that we are making any great progress simply because we have purchased a home or own real estate. We are the greatest job hunters in the world.—California Voice. As the Atlanta Independent so tellingly put the matter, there is a manifest failure in the race to follow as a unit any class or type of leadership, but we are not content to merely have this trulism pointed out, we want to go down into the philosophy of the situation that we may find its cause and correct such a situation. We must conclude that there is some great general reason why the masses of our race will not follow such leadership as that of such high calibre as DuBois and Washington. We must conclude that somewhere in leadership we have failed to understand and value true Negro nature and that too we in this error have blinded our sight as to what is the true destiny of the race. No people love and answer the clarion call of leadership that does not first love and believe in them. The Negro race as we have so many times said is a GREAT race. Such a race instinctively would not follow SMALLNESS. We have been made to appear by some of our leadership to be clamoring for things that the GREAT Negro does not want, looks upon with contempt. Some of the unthinking in leadership have taken an attitude and have said things that would make us appear as a race, to be hammering upon the back door of social privilege, as though we were eager for admittance, when the mass Negro is perfectly content where he is and the intelligent view such an attitude with contempt. Negro life has become sufficient unto itself. We are not aching to enter into a life of another race whose standards may be insufficient. Let us look for a moment at the Jewish race, they are a unit within our civilization who spurn social commingling, they are a successful and respected leadership. Natural Negro nature is just like that. Refined and cultured Negroes have admitted to the fact that from the white coach where they had received unique courtesy, they passed out to the colored coach when they reached the Jim-Crow lines, with that affectionate feeling in their hearts that they once more would be bound within the lines of nature to which they correspond and to which they were drawn in affection and respect. Remember we are not discussing the JUSTICE of the Jim-Crow ban, we simply state this fact in the search for truth. When the Negro becomes self contained and looks with scorn upon legislation that would precipitate him into circles in which he would not be wanted, when he sees the exalted beauty in Negro natures freed from limitation of other races, then we think the fact will be proved that, he has not been the transgressor in intermingling. Time will resolve no fence so high that WHITES will not be found trying to clamber over it. The Negro presents being represented as the aggressor. There should be no law that would legislate any class or race into the social activities of another class or race. Each race and class has a right to its own individuality. That is what freedom means. This was the crime perpetrated upon the Negro race by the slave trade. The white race forced itself upon us in intimate relations. They sought to rob us of our unique Ethiopian individuality. The real Negro intensively desires today to retain our own wonderful Ethiopian personalities, we wish it passionately for our children. We spurn leadership, that would lead us in any other way. Khaki Replaces Blue In French Army Uniforms PARIS. - Khaki uniforms, much like the American, will replace the French horizon blue in the army. A quarter of a billion francs has been appropriated for the uniforms and other accessories, and during the present year the change probably will be completed. One promise to the French soldiers is that the breeches are to be of a more "elegant" cut. The French private gets breeches and cloth bands for puttees. The cloth of the blue uniform, so familiar to doughboys who served in France, didn't stand the weather or the hard usage it got during the war.

Save Macros Survey Now Before it is Too Late The Negro problem is just what it implies. It cannot be solved by any other but the Negro himself. In his conception of life and his determination of his place in civilization lies the solution. It is a matter of vision, not blindness, of intelligence, not ignorance, of knowledge, not supposition, of practical religion, not superstition, of chivalry, not cowardice, of manhood, not weakness. Freedom, success, happiness, these are the products of urge and desire. The man who wants a home goes out and works and sacrifices for it. The race that enjoys freedom pays dearly for it. The Negro, if he is sincere in his agitation for justice, equality and independence, must be guided by the undimmed light of history and the forces of human nature. Philanthropy never yet solved a race problem, and religion is but a consoling force in the upward climb. Upon these two pillars we have unwisely rested all our hopes for an amicable adjustment of racial issues. But if we are to survive the cauldron of extermination which now confronts us, we must determine now our place in civilization and go forward aggressively to make it secure. The man who wins out in life is the one who forces himself through difficulties. As it is with the individual so it is with races and organizations. The more ambitious one's program in life the greater the difficulties. It is good that nature has made it so, for we only appreciate the fruits of our labor in proportion to the price we paid to reap them. Real manhood is tested by difficulties as high as the summit of man's will. Those who go around them contribute nothing to civilization. Those who break through them are humanity's greatest benefactors. If you want inspiration to go through life you'll find an adequate supply in those difficulties confronting you. Analyze them, by all means subdue them, for man is greater than those forces which constitute his environment. The Hosts of Right- Protest Garveyism marches on, conquering new souls, flooding the earth with its gospel of freedom and independence for black men. This much was revealed by the monster demonstrations which took place throughout the country on May 8. elimaxing a relentless campaign for the release of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. New York, blessed mother of the Universal family, led the procession, and was a hot bed of inspiration and enthusiasm. Philadelphia joined with New York in the evening, returning home at night to stage a grand rally in which hundreds of friends joined. Over 4,000 took part in the big parade in Detroit. Turner Hall was inadequate to hold the mighty throng. Judge Klein of Cincinnati was the speaker, and among the nobles present was the Mayor of Detroit, who, amid deafening applause, sent a personal telegram to President College for Mr. Garvey's release. Over in Cleveland, Garveyism ran wild, upward of 2,000 were in the line of marion and Look to the East! By Amy Jacques Garvey World activity will, in the future, center around the countries touching the Pacific and Indian oceans, where half of the world's population is shaking off the backwardness of ages, preparatory to taking their places among first-tate nations. As we have often pointed out to our readers, no race of people is inherently backward—they have all at different periods in the world's history fostered great civilizations, which, through evolutionary processes, have decayed; therefore, when the arrogant Nordic speaks of "white superiority" in terms of immortality, we chuckle at his short memory, and bid him go trace his origin. Dr. A. N. Pope (white) in an address recently said: "It is not generally recognized, though often verbally acknowledged, that the basis of European culture is largely a derivation from the Orient. The human race itself sprang from the Orient as did the basal and elementary machinery of civilization. The alphabet and the number system, a knowledge of minerals and metal working all came from the Near East, while such later essential instruments of progress as paper, printing, and the compass were brought to Europe from the Far East. Every religion that is still a vital force in moulding men's affections, shaping their ideas of value or, as is more uncommon, controlling their ethical conduct, is an oriental religion. We forget this sometimes and speak and think and act as if Christianity were a peculiar invention and prerogative of the West. But Jesus Christ was an Oriental, and, as has often been said, this poor and lowly agitator, without any place whereon to lay his head, certainly could not pass the immigration barriers of America today." The soridness and selfishness of the present age has so befogged man's vision that he does not recognize the common parentage of all mankind nor treat his neighbor as his brother. His greed for wealth makes him commit crimes in the name of progress, and in the blindness of his power he forgets that retribution surely overtakes the guilty. Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall in the same manner as the sun gives light to one part of the earth, while the other half is in darkness. So those who now enjoy the noonday hour of progress and power will in the natural process of evolution return to darkness in order to give way to others who are now in darkness. What has been will be again, and the East is beginning to see the peep of a new day. It is God's plan, and no human agency can stop it. It is the vision of this new day that causes the scattered sons and daughters of Ethiopia to turn their faces toward the motherland of Africa—the same Africa that abeltered the babe Christ from the wrath of Herod, and a country large enough and rich enough to accommodate the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, and many times more. It is the Biblical prophecy that Ethiopia shall once more come into her own, which causes black folks to smile under oppression, and to sing when burdened with care. This hope for a better day, and faith in the fulfillment of prophecy brings them, and makes them survive under the greatest pressure and brutality of alien oppressors. It is in the spirit of the East to bear and forbear, and we who have long ago been transplanted to alien chores still retain this characteristic. That is why we have survived the rigors of slavery, and have adapted ourselves to almost any surroundings, always hoping for a better day, and finding comfort in the hoping. The East bids fair to rebirth a great civilization, as she has not lost her appreciation for the spiritual values of life, which, after all, is the basis of all ethical conduct. She let us continue to work and hasten the prophecy of a return of Ethiopia's glory. If We Must Win Stepping Stones to Achievement standing room was at a premium in Liberty Hall. Cincinnati roared with triumph. Thousands participated in the parade, thousands more accolled Marcus Garvey as his picture came into view. Out in Chicago a great multitude of friends and followers joined in preclaiming the usefulness of Garvey and Garveyism. At Columbus several new converts were enrolled at the close of a perfect day. Hundreds of people stormed the portals of Garveyism as equally brilliant demonstrations were enacted in Dayton, Ohio; Oakland, Cal.; Chattanooga, Teen.; New Orleans, La.; Miami and Jacksonville, Fla.; Norfolk, Va.; Gary, Ind.; Raleigh, N. C.; Boston, and Canada. A Mandate to Coolidge The consensus of opinion among white and colored was: "Grant executive clemency to Marcus Garvey without deportation—he is an asset to white America and the world." The fact that nine of the twelve men who found him guilty joined with millions of Garveyites, and thousands of prominent citizens—among whom are Judge Klein of Cincinnati and the Mayor of Detroit—in the crusade for the immediate release of Marcus Garvey, should give President Coolidge a clear conception as to the weight of public opinion in the matter. Garvey is the only race leader who has the unqualified confidence and support of the Negro people of the world; of this President Coolidge and the white world are aware. Because he has the manhood and courage of his convictions, I believe the President will grant our petition the moment he is fully convinced—not persuaded—that the ends of justice have been fully served in this particular case. "Waai" I have just finished reading a copy of "Wasau," brilliant organ of the West African Students' Union of Great Britain, with headquarters in London, England. Scholarly in presentation, idealistic in ambition, uncompromising in the cause it champions, "Wasau" promises to play an important part in revolutionizing the mental outlook of the oppressed and oppressors of Africa. Its aggressiveness in matters of State, its program of higher education for Africans, and its platform of African Nationalism should find ready response and whole-hearted cooperation from its constituency. For the benefit of Africans in this Western world, insisting extracts from "Wasau" will appear in this column from time to time. This interesting journal of awakened Africa is heartily recommended to our leading literary, educational and religious institutions of the country. "Wasau" also gives wholesome entertainment to students of social science and psychology. The subscription is four shillings, or $1, per year, published quarterly. Make application to the Sub-Editor, "Wasau." J. E. Danquah, Esq., B.A., L.L.R., 32 Russell Square, London, W. C. I, England. That "Wasau" may have a long and glorious career is the fervent prayer of 30,000,000 scattered sons and daughters of Africa domiciled in the Western world.

Permanent Olongape Quarters for Marines Urged as Means of Maintaining Close Contact With China----18,000 Troops New There MANILA, P. I., May 11.—Entertaining hopes that the Navy Department will provide deficiency funds for the construction of barracks and officers' quarters at Qlongapo for the use of forces in the Orient, Colonel Harry Davia, commanding the third China expeditionary force, is making tentative plans for establishing a permanent base, subject to orders of the commander of the Aalatic Fleet. "The establishment of a permanent base at Olongapo requires considerable construction," Colonel Davis said today. "A flying field must be located and a place made to accommodate a regiment of marines. The establishment of a base at Olongapo is necessary and will mean a vast saving to the government in transporting troops to the scene of the trouble in China, in addition to quick action. Had a base been at Olongapo before the Shanghai trouble, a regiment of marines could have handled the situation easily, saving trouble, money and time." The return of 270 marine and aviation officers from Shanghai on Monday brings the total force at the base to 18,000 men, all quartered in old wooden buildings and machine shops. The officers are billeted in empty houses and old barracks. Fifteen planes are there and an effort will be made to locate a flying field for immediate use. The situation will be eased on Tuesday when Col. Harry Lay departs for Shanghai with the 10th Artillery and a company of engineers. The arrival of the marines has transformed alcepy Olongapo, an old Spanish base, into a scene of warlike activity for the first time in years. A majority of the men are veterans of the World War and the early days of the American occupation of the Philippines and of the Boxer war, and are finding old buddies of the early campaigns among the residents.

G., May 9.—What Maryland is still proud of the humble African astronomer, Benjamin Banneker, was recently renamed in a statement which was given wide publicity in the white press of Baltimore, which said: "To search the annals of Howard County is to find that very early in the history of Illinois' Mills the settlement boasted an African astronomer and mathematician named Benjamin Banneker, who compiled an almanac that was very generally used by agriculturalists of the locality." Benjamin's grandfather, an African and a slave, had married a white woman who owned him, and Benjamin himself lived in a little one-story log house that came to him by inheritance in the days when door and wild turkey were found upon the sites where the Ellicotts erected mills. He saw the building of the mills and witnessed the changes that converted a tobacco-growing to a wheat-growing region. He saw the building of bridges and roads and intercourse between the Hollow and the distant neighborhood established. With Quaker kindness he was welcomed as a child to the schools established by the Ellicottis for the children of their mill hands and when his passion for astronomy and mathematics and his marked inventive genius was observed his gifts were encouraged. He was qualified to work out, and did work out, abstract questions in arithmetic and, after the adoption of the United States Constitution, Benjamin Banneker was asked by the commissioners to assist them to run the line of the District of Columbia, then called "Federal Territory." In 1792 he completed and published his almanac and sent an autograph copy to Thomas Jefferson, then Secretary of State, who, in turn, sent it to M. de Condorcet, secretary of the Academy of Science, Paris, France. Benjamin Banneker was venerable of aspect and his little house sat upon a hill in the midst of an orchard and commanded a prospect of near and distant hills and of the heavens, which he studied for hours at night, lying upon his back in the open and gazing toward the stair. A never-falling spring of crystal-clear water issued from beneath a large golden willow tree growing in his orchard. In a corner of his one-story cottage was suspended a clock of his own invention, which kept accurate time and struck the hours. He is supposed to have died about 1800, and the first intimation of his death that came to Ellicott's Mills was a cart loaded with his few treasures—his letter of appreciation from Thomas Jefferson, etc., conscientiously conveyed to those to whom he had bequeathed them. By a whimsical turn of fate, his house burned at the hour when the body of its owner was consigned to its last resting place. "Good White Friends'" Slowening of Support of Schools for Higher Education of Negroes Emphasizes Need for Self-Help Alone Lines of U. N. I. A. Liberty University RETURNING-DEPARTURES AND ARRIVALS DEPARTURES: To the Editor of, The Negro World: Our good white friends who a few years ago gave lavishly for the support of our schools for the higher education of our people now, for many reasons, give only sparingly, and some have withdrawn their support entirely. The result is that many of our schools are hard pressed financially and when we are threatened with the closing of such an institution as Fisk University, for lack of funds, we should be awakened to the seriousness of our position and take steps not only to avert the terrible calamity of the closing of Fisk, but also to hand ourselves together to raise a large sum of money yearly to help maintain not only Fisk, but every one of the schools for our higher education, irrespective of denomination or location. How can we do this? We have certainly proved our ability to organize and successfully conduct societies and fraternal organizations of all kinds. Our experience along this line I believe to be providential, for it has fitted us to organize what should be regarded by every sensible man and woman as the greatest of all societies, a National Educational Society, with a National Educational Board, composed of our leading citizens from every denomination and every fraternal society. On that board let us have representatives from the A. M. E. A. M. E. Z. C. M. E. M. E. Baptists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Adventists, Masons, Odd Fellows, Eiks, Pythians, St. Luke's, Royl Circles, Nonales and others. In every town, city and community let us organize a National Educational Society, representatives from which can form State organizations. The State conventions can elect members of the national board. Let the dues be $1.25 per year—$1 for the National Educational Fund to be apportioned among our schools yearly by the national board and 25 cents for expenses, as we must pay for national headquarters and to maintain clerks, stenographers and field officers. I believe there are one million members of our race who will cheerfully give $1.25 yearly for the support of our schools for the higher education of our children. That would mean one million dollars yearly for distribution among our schools and two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for expenses. All honor to the Elka, of which order I am proud to be a member, who have established an educational board and are contributing funds for the education of our people. I am confident that they will do their utmost to help establish and maintain a national fund for the same great purpose. Just think, my friends, of the millions of dollars we spend annually for foolish amusements. Is it not high time that we deny ourselves some of these foolish pleasures and give a small pittance for the higher education of our people? We have a host of able men and women who, if they put their shoulders to the wheel, can put this plan over successfully, and I am sure that the editors of the Pittsburgh Courier, The Negro World, the Afro-American, the Philadelphia Tribune, and all other race journals will open their columns for the discussion and promotion of this great National Educational Society. I am ready with my $1.25 annual dues, and will join the first local society whenever organised. Organize and report to the press and let us have thousands of branches with thousands of members rallying to the financial support of our educational institutions. God speed the day when a million of our people will contribute $1.25 a year for our institutions of learning that have lifted us to such a high plane of civilization that in sixty-five years we have astonished and won the admiration of the entire world. For the success of this movement Londoners Protest Sale Of Second Hand Clothes LONDON. — London dressmakers are in arms against the sale by wealthy members of the aristocracy of their cast-off gowns to not-so-well-to-do friends. The dressmakers say their business has suffered perceptibly, and if the practice continues many of the establishments would suffer severely through loss of trade. The dressmakers claim that many fashionable women, when their pocketbooks can afford it, wear a gown but once, and then offer it for sale at an attractive discount. If one-half of the original purchase price is realized on a used gown, the woman for whom the creation was made thinks she has made a good bargain indeed. As a matter of fact, the dressmakers assert, most gowns go at one-fifth, or even less of their first cost, and this has raised havoc in the dressmakers' trade, with no end of the difficulty in sight. Mrs. Wilfrid Ashley, wife of the minister of transport, set the pace some time ago, disposing of her dresses to friends, little realizing the outcome of this move. Remember that headaches are "danger signals." They are an indication of a defect somewhere in the system. For that reason, the treatment should be to correct the defect causing the trouble. Headache powders and "remedies" of this sort do not correct the underlying trouble, and so do not produce a real cure. It is best to avoid them. They only give the body more work by making it fight the effect of drugs on the system, as well as the defect causing the headache. Often headaches are caused by eyestrain, by the stuffy atmosphere in a room, by constipation or by the lack of sleep. In these cases, we usually know the cause and can correct it ourselves. However, frequent or severe or unusual headaches should be sufficient cause to make us go to a doctor for a thorough examination, as headaches are sometimes symptoms of many illnesses which may be corrected in their early stages if we obey the signal. Thus we may save ourselves a great deal of suffering and even prolong our lives. Heat and a topid bath, taken for ten or fifteen minutes, are helpful in overcoming headaches. However, if you live a hygienic and well-regulated life, obeying the rules of right living, you should be free from these disturbances. Live temperately and be sure to get sufficient fresh air, sunlight, good food, rest and exercise. Then, if you have headaches, remember that they are danger signals—a warning of trouble somewhere in the system. Do not let them go unheeded. Consult a doctor and try to correct the trouble. WOMAN'S HAIR CATCHES MAN Miss May Griffen writes: "My hair was so short, snarly and dry and had no life in it at all, it simply was impossible to look as attractive as my friends. I was not popular with the men. I tried most everything and it seemed nothing would help me. Then I tried Queen Hair Dressing. My! How wonderful that preparation is! Do you know that after using only five boxes, my hair has a beautiful marcel wave and a pretty gloss? Now I know why the show people use Queen.

Several judges have suggested women should be included among these experts, and probably some of them will be nominated before long, although now, as ever, men continued to dominate the dressmaking industry or art of France.

Were natives to be represented on it? Secondly, what would be the binding force of such a convention? And, thirdly, if the convention agreed with what he (General Hertzog) had said at Smithfield (which General Smuts had disagreed with), what would General Smuts' attitude be then? "I am still waiting for a reply to those questions," General Hertzog asserted. "What will be the binding force of the decisions of that convention? Will the honorable member for Caledon (Mr. J. Krige) submit to the decisions of the convention if it should decide in favor of my bills?" Mr. Krige: The House is not bound by the decisions of a select committee or a commission. Will you be bound by the decisions of a select committee? General Hertzog: I am quite satisfied that the select committee will alter certain points in the bills, but will agree to many other points. Mr. Krige: Because you know you will have a majority. It was quite clear to him, went on General Hertzog, that Mr. Krige did not want the bills at all.

Continuing, General Hertzog, dropping his voice, was understood to say that he was convinced that General Smuts was animated by a desire to secure something which would give general satisfaction. He felt convinced, however, that with a commission they would achieve less than with a select committee. There was no reason whatever why a select committee should not dispose of at least two or three of the bills, or even of all four bills. General Smuts had given as one of his reasons that the natives should be properly consulted. Was that seriously meant? he asked. Mr. Krige had said that the natives of the Transvaal and Free State should be consulted on the question whether it was advisable that they should be given the limited franchise. Was Mr. Krige ready in earnest on the point? If they should say no, would Mr. Krige then in favor of their being given the full franchise?

British Paramount Authority Demands They Clean House Possible Early Revision of Constitution Causes Anxiety—Excesses Furnish Excuse for Interference LONDON, May 5.—Fearing that the possible early revision of the constitution in British India may reduce them to impotent figureheads, some of the most important and hitherto powerful ruling princes are taking active steps to safeguard their interests, a development of the greatest significance. There will be a meeting soon at Simla of a standing committee of the Princes' Chamber to discuss a situation which they regard as menacing. In the last few weeks the Maharajah of Burdwan, India's delegate to the Imperial Conference in London last November, has announced his intention of retiring from political life, giving as his reason his lack of sympathy with the present political atmosphere in India. "A number of States," he said, "distrust British rule, and this distrust has become an obsession that many of the State leaders wish to be rid of British rule and 'damn the consequences.' Therefore, as one who believes in the British and their honesty of purpose, the only way is to step aside." Among the Indian princes who have recently made outspoken complaints about their loss of status or authority have been the Maharajas of Benares, Bikanir and Kashmir. The latter, Sir Hnrl Singh, was the "Mr. A." in the famous cause celebr of the English courts two years ago. The second, it was thought at one time, jeopardized his changes of succeeding his aged uncle. But he eventually came to the throne, and only recently has been visited by the Viceroy of India and expended a king's ransom on decorations and festivities. Sir Hari says the princes have every sympathy with the legitimate aspirations of British India, but are anxious that the position secured to them by the treaties with Great Britain shall not be prejudicially affected. "There are some matters concerning us jointly with British India in which at present we have no voice. We want a voice in such matters. Also we wish to see the removal of the difficulties at present hampering us materially in the discharge of our duties." The nervous Indian rulers have not clearly indicated what is chiefly around their fears, but they give the impression that the democratization of India and Parliamentary government is eating away the foundations of their once dictatorial and despotic position. It was only last autumn that Great Britain, because of the ineptitude, or the outloudings of some of the princes, served a warning that the British Raj is paramount, and that these princes had to put their houses in order or it would be done for them. Before he was succeeded by Lord Irwin as viceroy, Lord Reading outlined the British attitude in a declaration of great significance. He was addressing the Nizam of Hyderabad, the premier ruling prince of India: "Where imperial interests are concerned, or the general welfare of the people of the State is seriously and grievously affected by the action of its government, it is with the paramount power that ultimate responsibility for taking remedial action must lie." These princes rule over provinces or states which comprise a third of Indian territory, and contain a quarter of the total population.

Besides added the Prime Minister, could any honorable number point to any manner in which the natives could have been consulted by himself or his department, and which they had not availed themselves of? The fact remained that the public wanted legislation to be passed, and wanted Parliament to give them the legislation. The debate at this stage was adjourned till tomorrow, and the House rose at 10:45. British Back Down On China Policy; Imperialism Stunned (Continued from page 2) and old treaties to dictate their policy heartens us and gives us breathing time. The Chinese recognize the handiwork of America in this outcome, but are glad other important powers also recognize the futility of efforts to coerce our revolution." Contrarily, the prevailing sentiment among foreigners here regards the failure of the powers to follow up the Nanking incident with strong action, and the effect of the refusal of Britain to act singly as likely to make the Chinese more cocky and truculent in their demeanor toward foreigners. Late events make it more difficult to maintain the attitude that the situation in Shanghai is perilous. Local officials are finding it harder to resist the feeling among the residents that extreme measures of caution no longer are necessary. A slight concession was made this week in the abolition of the curfew, but people want the barbed wire barricades inside the international settlement removed from the way of traffic. This is done perhaps because the foreign die-hards must realize that the barbed wire gesture no longer impresses the home governments of the danger of the situation. Both Chinese and foreign moderates are hopeful of clearing the air of the prospect of military intervention, and of opening the way to friendly discussion of the revision of treaties and of reshaping the government in Shunghain's foreign concessions' to replace the irresponsible oligarchy working through the Municipal Council. Several prominent foreigners wrote in the newspapers suggesting conferences between the local consular body and the Chinese committee which has been waiting three months to take up these questions. The British community here is deeply incensed at late developments of the British policy, and privately expresses the most intense bitterness. A wag published a notice in a newspaper announcing the sale of the foreign settlement. Another wag circulated the rumor that Lampson was coming to Shanghai to hand the settlement over to the Chinese with a few British warships thrown in for good measure. The British press here, which has been inclined lately to regard the Nanking regime hopefully, is growing pessimistic and criticizes the delay in composing a Cabinet. It is expressing fear that Nanking will be another fusco. Shanghai is tiled with rumors about Chinese military plans and movements, especially of northern advances southward, but it is impossible to discern the facts from the propaganda with which every faction deluges the press.

Name Address State princes very hard, the most thin, the fear, may possibly have a mild curried bearing on their authority. It may lead to a federal form of Government, which would assign to the different units functions which would convert the princely figures into the desired reminders of a once glorious and all-powerful past. The princes are aware that the misdeeds and extravagances of some of their numbers in recent years have had much to do with the severe attacks which are being leveled at them in the nationalist press. Corruption in the police force and glaring inefficiency in the handling of the financial affairs of his state led to the demand by the Brittish Raj that the Nizam of Hyderabad should either resign or permit representatives of the paramount power to do a bit of clean up work. He reluctantly consented to outside assistance. The Maharajah of Indore, vastly wealthy, and implicated in the Mumtaz Bebgun scandal, was not so fortunate, for he had to abdicate. The Mir of Khalrpur, a big spender absorbed in horse racing, aroused displeasure because of the sad condition of his state's finances. The whole of the revenues of 1925 were said to have been affected by his losses on the track. The Bombay Government decided to relieve the Mir of his State powers as a result of alleged wanton extravagance. Interracial Co-operation ATLANTA, Ga., May 11. - Mios Elsie B. Stewart of Berea College, Kentucky; A. L. Stevenson of Duke University, Durham, N. C., and Bruce O. Power of Southern Methodist University, Dallas, have adjudged the winners in the Southwide theme contest among college students, conducted by the Commission of Interracial Co-operation, with headquarters here. Checks for the prizes, which were, respectively, $75, $50 and $25, have been forwarded to the president of the three institutions represented for presentation to the winners. The winning papers were on the subject of "Justice in Race Relations," and dealt with education, health, housing, sanitation, protection of life and property, and other phases of Negro welfare. Thirty-three colleges in fifteen states were represented in the competition, which is conducted annually as part of the commission's educational program. There were more than 50 contestants, a number of them being colored students. The judges were R. B. Eleazer and Mrs. Maud Henderson of the interracial commission and Dr. Willis J. King of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta. THE MASTER OF THE WORLD 8. R. INGRAM, Inventor We wish to call your attention to the Combination Puncture Proof Tire, which we believe to be the greatest invention of all the age on automobile tires, Samuel R. Ingram, inventor. They have been demonstrated before thousands of people by an automobile equipped with these tires running over nails driven in a board five inches apart and they proved one hundred percent. The first tires were put on the market in September, 1926. We also wish to call your attention to the great history of America. We are the first Negroes in America to incorporate a Tire Company and make automobile tires. This invention was 255,000 units this invention before a tire was made, but he dedicated it to the race and it cannot be sold. We believe that all of our people who want to see factories in various states of the Union employing our girls and boys and manufacturing automobile tires, will help us to do this by subcribing for at most one share of stock at once. Do this stock at once, and stock in the Combination Puncture Proof Tire Co. at $2.50 per share, but say, "I did buy it." An ounce France N. Finston, Box 47, Hamilton Grange P. O., N. Y. BKLaugen Christianity's Progress There Depends on Converted Natives, University Head Says Christian missionary work in China cannot be conducted by American and British missionaries in the future, but must be turned over to the trained Chinese leaders now working under the Nationalist party, said Dr. Joseph Beech, president of the West China Union University at Chengtu, speaking yesterday at the twentieth anniversary conference of the National Bible Institute, 310 West Fifth-fifth street. Anti-foreignism in China had brought matters to the point where the only hope of Christianity lies in the native Christians who have been converted already, and trained to lead the church both spiritually and educationally, Dr. Beech declared. He returned from his post last month, after thirty-five years in western China. "Russian propagandists are poisoning the minds of school boys and girls all over China," he declared. "As head of the Chengtu University I myself have had to act as censor to keep that awful Bolshevik literature from reaching students dozens of times every day." Last night Charles Ghalletud Trumbull, editor of "The Sunday School Times," spoke on "The Surrendered Life" at the concluding meeting. Other speakers were Miss Ethel Rea, of South India; Miss Maud Van Vessen, of South Africa; Miss Jane Scarefield, of 'rabia, and Dr. Rose Bower of Portuguese West Africa, who spoke on missionary work in those countries.

Roland Pertwee Stirs English Women to Protest LONDON.—"The women with the most appeal are the women who know how to be playthings in the hours when men most want a plaything." Roland Pertwee, distinguished author and dramatist, said here recently. Pertwee's statement brought a storm of protests from women in all parts of England. "When the discovery is made that woman is a human being with a purpose of her own life," one woman wrote to a local paper, "Mr. Pertwee will be glad to accept God's work rather than looking around for an impossible combination of a baby's rattle, a frisky kitten and a darning and button applying machine." Another wrote: "Mr. Pertwee seems to have a perfect passion for women to sit in men's laps. I presume he is one of those rare men who is not armored at every vulnerable point by a bunch of keys, four pens, two automatic penels, two metal cigarette cases, one cardboard box, an automatic metal cigarette lighter, a penknife, a corkscrew and a folding screwdriver."

Los estadistas y directores de opinion, dan a los vientos sus gritos ostentorios, abogando por una humanidad mas grande y por deseos de una paz no sentida. Nosotros encontramos por el otro lado, que estan luchando cgoisti- camente por el encumbramiento de sus pueblos y razas respectivas, con desventaja de las otras que estan reclui- das a un estado de inaccién amenazante por las clases privilegiadas.

Marcus Garvey, brings back my memory to Biblical and political history. Like Jesus Christ, who suffered and died ignominiously on the Cross of Calvary for humanity, like Stephen, who was stoned to death for preaching the truth; like St. Paul, who suffered for the truth, and so with other apostles. Like Martin Luther, the great reformer; like Socrates, for the higher reason of man; like John Brown for defending his rights; like Abd-al-Krism, the Moroccan chieftain, for defending his country, and others too numerous to mention. So Marcus Garvey, through the earnest prayers of his followers and with divine guidance, will emerge and once more appear on the scene of action marshalling his forces in a courageous and unselfish manner. Now nothing will please the chief better than to know that we give all support to save the shrine of liberty, Liberty Hall, New York City. My division has come to the rescue and is determined to rally to the call. We have pledged to give liberally until the 90 days have expired. Those who profess Garveyism will now show it, not with sentiment, but morally and financially. We acknowledge no other leadership but Honorable Marcus Garvey, and are long may the hearts of President Coolidge and white America melt and return to us our God-sent messenger, the beloved and choosen leader of black humanity. R. A. CHARLES, Guantanamo, Cuba. To the Editor of The Negro World: The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have required the spirit of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. This spirit has quickened, softened and elevated our minds and convinced us of our close kinship to God. To the new Negroes he is the most noble being born of this age save One. To Interpret Him with any degree of success requires genius. To interpret Marcus Garvey, racial love and gratitude must be your uppermost thought. His virtues and technique have fascinated and thrilled his associates. His miraculous qualities have made him an astounding figure in the history of the world. Strange enough, it is these qualities that most of our so-called leaders have attempted to minimize and make impotent by having him placed in the Atlanta penitentiary. But I say unto those spineless creatures, "There are no short cuts to great ends; therefore the imprisonment of Marcus Garvey is only a stepping stone to success." No man with a clear conscience after reading an account of Kon. Marcus Garvey's life and the text of his trial has not felt sick at heart at the cruelty and miscarriage of justice. Marcus Garvey is loved by us. To us he is a heaven-sent gift. To us he is more than the symbol of the cause which he advocated.

Marcus Garvey is a man of great strength of mind, hardiness of physique. He is impelled by a stimulating idea and is being driven relentlessly toward its realization by the force within him. Just as Joan of Arc is presented as the mother of her country, George Washington the father of his country, we the new Negroes, present Marcus Garvey as the economic liberator of the Negro. MISS LILLIE A. JONES. The Fight for Pardon For Mr. Garvey To the Editor of The Negro World: Your front page article of May 1 is the nearest approach to the remedy for that peculiar and shameful situation which has been facing us for the past three years—the imprisonment of Marcus Garvey. Congratulations! After this long while of thoughtless blundering, of resolving sans resolve, of "stating sinfully by while the opportunity of an age is allowed to pass by," we have at last come to realize that "the thing cries out to heaven for redress." For, have we not allowed a most glorious opportunity to slip through our very fingers a few years ago when we had the occasion to drive a wedge into the flank of the trouble and so prepare the world for the Birth of the New Nation? And who can gainay the truth—that the strength of the weak is mighter than the weakness of the strong? We have been clamoring for Mr. Garvey's release in the hope of the good he may do rather than because of the good he has already done. Our position was not clear. Our tactics were wrong. For, as I said in a recent letter to Mr. Rothchild Francis of the Virgin Islands: "To petition is to beg. And the beggar received nothing." To the very few among us capable of seeing through deep racial complexities our cause has been strikingly similar to the childish simplicity of soldiers in the field begging of the opposing general the release of their captured commander. History bears no such precedent. In fact, the thing is in direct opposition to all the primary laws of nature. Many a day has passed since the pages of The Negro World glistened with manly thought and spirit, ringing clear around the world of color, bringing together in common inspiration a mass of minds, untrained and mistraled, yet, in a measure, capable, creating a mighty force of unparalleled potential greatness, whose very existence haunted the minds of the oppressor. To return to this day, to travel anew to path of hope. HOPESCL New York. May 15. Selfishness Keeping The Negro Down To the Editor of The Negro World: It is regrettable to state that the eight years in which the Hon. Marcus Garvey has devoted his precious life facing dangers of innumerable kinds to teach the Negro to shelf his "Uncle Tom days of doing things" to abandon GOOD LUCK QUICK THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1987 his slave masters' teachings, to abolish selfishness and many other destructive vices that are the sole reasons for our present condition, and take up a new psychology of life, of which he is an example, has not yet taken hold of a good lot of Negroes. Almost all the business ventures the Universal Negro Improvement Association has launched have been a failure, just through selfishness. Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will gain experience from past incidents that in placing men at the head of affairs we must beware of wolves in sheep's clothing. Self preservation in Nature's first law, and it is the duty of every individual to protect at all costs his or her personal interest, but when the interests of the race are at stake all should fall in line and contribute of whatever lies in his or her power in assisting to obtain its ultimate success.

CENTRAL PARK FAMOUS NEW YORK PLAYGROUND One of the Show Places of the World Contains 840 Acres in the Heart of the Great City From the New York Sun Central Park, the oblong tract embracing slightly more than 840 acres in the heart of Manhattan, is the principal playground of the city. The park is two and a half miles long, running from Fifty-ninth to 110th street, and its width from Fifth avenue to Eighth avenue (Central Park West) is a half mile. About 400 acres are wooded and 256 are occupied by lakes and reservoirs. At a recent meeting held in this city Mayor Walker said he wanted to see Central Park made "the finest in the world" and told of plans to rehabilitate it. He estimated the park's worth as $1,000,000,000, and said the $1,000,000 had been appropriated this year for its upkeep. One of the most picturesque sections of the park, which was completed in 1856, is called the Ramble. There at one point is a natural cave and in the neighborhood a cliff that is reached through a system of winding pathways and bridges. Another noteworthy possession of the park is the famous Egyptian obelisk, Cleopatra's Needle, which was presented to the United States by the Khedive of Egypt in 1877. The obelisk, which is 691 feet tall and weighs 224 tons, originally stood in the Cairo in front of the Temple of the Sun. It was erected about 1500 B. C. The Central Park Arsenal, remodeled in recent years, formerly was a storehouse for the State's military supplies. In the northeastern section of the park is McGown's Panas, which marks a site associated with the history of the American Revolution. Among other interesting things in the park are a flock of sheep, the menagerie and the Belvedere, a granite structure with a 50-foot tower. Women Laundry Workers Organize First Strike Twenty-eight colored women employed by the North American Laundry have organized the first strike of colored women in New York and are out for an increase of wages, bringing their weekly wage up to $16 per week, pay for overtime, weekly work and the privilege of a shop committee. At present the women are paid by the day on a basis of from $12 to $14 per week, wages being cut when work falls off. The average hours of work are from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. with three quarters of an hour for lunch. Conditions are bad, no dressing rooms being provided for them, as is required in factories. The drivers have joined the women workers in a sympathetic strike and walked out last Monday to assist them in picketing the North America on Laundry building at 500 East 16th street. Rose Schneidermann, president of the Women Trade Union League, yesterday estimated the number of colored women laundry workers in the city at 10,000. The majority have very poor conditions and very low wages, though a small proportion have been organized and have secured, through the efforts of the Trade Union League, increased wages, bringing the minimum salary up nearer the minimum living wage for New York City.

Senator Berah Criticizes Administration's Nicaraguan Policy as "One of Ruthless Imperialism" WARHINGTON, May 11.--The movement of 800 marines supplied with airplanes to reinforce Admiral Lattimer in Nicaragua got under way today. The aircraft tender Aroostook sailed from Quantico with six airplanes and aviation personnel and will stop on route at Charleston, S. C., to take on 100 marines from Paris Island. Later in the day 400 marines sailed from Quantico on the repair ship Medusa, while 300 marines were ordered to sail at once from Port au Prince, Haiti, on the submarine tender Argonne. Three airplanes with personnel also are to go from San Diego. The reinforcements are bound for Corinto and will increase the marine strength in Nicaragua to about 3,000. The sailing of the marines, requested by Admiral Lattimer, came on the same day that the Navy Department received from him the text of his proclamation to both factions in Nicaragua, to give up their arms peacefully or he would disarm them by force. The proclamation, printed in both Spanish and English, will be posted throughout the country tomorrow. LaFollette Assais Coolidge Policy Senator LaFollette today issued a statement criticising the administration's Nicaraguan policy as "one of ruthless imperialism in Central America." "The statement by General Moncada that he was forced to lay down arms because of the threat that the United States marines would take the field against him, is now confirmed by the State Department," he said. "The admission by the State Department that Mr. Stimson, speaking for President Coolidge, threatened open warfare on the Liberals is an amazing revelation that the President, in carrying forward his policy of ruthless imperialism in Central America, is ready to violate the constitution, which gives the war-making power solely to Congress. Warns of Protest at the Polls "In his recent New York address the President uttered these words: "Our attitude toward all nations is one of friendship and good-will. Toward those who are yet struggling to improve the conditions of their people and achieve a larger liberty it is especially one of forebearance." "In view of his recent action in Nicaragua these high-sounding phrases are exposed as a smoke screen behind which his policy of imperialism is being conducted with renewed vigor. "This course has already gone far in destroying the good will of all Latin America toward the United States. Our mutual friends have become our potential enemies. Our trade with those valuable customers to the south of us has been seriously damaged to the great advantage of European competitors. "Millions of American citizens are unalterably opposed to the President's policy of aggression in Latin America and that opposition will be felt when they have an opportunity to make it effective at the ballot box." Mercer G. Johnston, secretary of the National Citizens' Committee on Relations with Latin-America, of which Senator Norris of Nebraska is honor- Save Marcus Garvey Now Before It Is Too Late Piles Cured OR COSTS YOU NOTHING Any sufferer from piles— Positively Makes Hear Long, Straight, Beautiful.

General Jose Maria Moncada, commander of the Liberal army, expressed the belief tonight that the arms of 50 per cent. of the Liberals would be laid down by Saturday. His statement came after a long conference with Henry L. Stimson, President Coolidge's personal representative; Charles C. Eberhardt, the American minister, and Rear Admiral Latimer. General Moncada invited Mr. Stimson to address the Liberal army prior to its demobilization on Saturday at Los Banderos, thirty miles from Nicaragua, and Mr. Stimson accepted. The Liberal general desired that the American mediator explain to the army that the action of the United States in enforcing peace was not a pro-Conservative act, but for the best interests of the nation, and as a guarantee of free and honest supervised elections in 1928. Lots of People Pray for G. B. Shaw LONDON. May 4.—George Bernard Shaw is willing, not to say anxious, to get the benefit of the prayers that may be said for him by the adherents of any and all churches. "I need the prayers of all churches," he advised Maurice Leahy, secretary of the University of London Catholic Society, who wrote to ask him whether it was all right for priests to pray for his conversion so he could write a defense of Catholicism. "I cannot very well join any separate church because the dramatist must be impartial and make no distinction between Allah, Brahma and the rest." Shaw said. "Lots of people pray for me and I never be any the worse for it. The only valid argument against the practice of prayer is that God knows His own business without prompting." The question came up when a woman was reported to have commissioned a Jesuit father to say masser for Shaw's conversion. Leahy took advantage of the opportunity to attempt to solve the most question of Shaw's religious beliefs, if any, by asking him if it was all right for others to join in prayers for the dramatist. Find Elephant's Skull Million Years Old MOSCOW.—An elephant's cranium which, according to selentia, has been preserved in mineral oil for more than a million years, has been discovered at the village of Solenkyabalka near Groznil, on the Caspian side of the Caucasian lathmus, by Prof. Varvil Arkhangelsky. Zooologists say the skull belonged to a species that wandered the earth for thirty or forty million years, until it became extinct a million years ago, leaving the mammoth mastodons as their paltry progeny.

MENTH WANT SECOND LIBERTY BOND HOLDERS ARE WARNED Issue Called in and Interest Coaste as of November—Now is the Time to Cash In WASHINGTON, May 9.—Using the radio, newspapers and other mediums of communication, the Treasury Department today was calling the $1- 700,000,000 outstanding bonds of the Second Liberty Loan. These bonds, representing the balance of the original issue of $3,507, $65,000, will be paid November 15, and after that date securities of this issue still outstanding will no longer bear interest. Bonds called include the Second Liberty Loan 4 per cent and the Second Liberty's converted 45 per cent. Secretary Mellon believes that quite likely the Treasury will be able to offer holders of these bonds some other Government security in exchange on the pay date. The reason for the widespread call, which is one of the greatest publicity efforts yet put forth by the Treasury, is to discharge an obligation which Government officials believe was assumed in view of the intensive drive during the war to get Liberty bonds into as many hands as possible. Added to this is the desire of the Treasury to give a warning to bond holders that these securities will cease to draw interest after November 15. Citizens are still holding war bonds valued at $30,000,000, on which intercet is no longer payable. Of the original issue of the second Liberty loan, bonds totaling $750,561, 000 have been reduced and $1,550,166, 150 were refunded this year into 2% per cent Treasury notes.

Zibach of Grand Island, Neb., plowed a twenty-acre field on the College of Agriculture farm of the University of Nebraska, near here. The tractor runs in an irregular circle, rounding the corners. Except for replenishing the gasoline and oil, it needs no attention. The electric control stops the machine should it leave the furrow and when the work is completed. The invention was first tried in 1921, Zibach said. Tiring of riding a plow, he attached his device to his tractor, filled the machine with gasoline and turned it loose. Ex-Bishop J. E. Guinn, D. R.
