The Negro World

NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1987 An Open Letter to Our Friends Who, by Their Invaluable Assistance in the Garvey Release Campaign, Have Rendered Signal Service To the Cause of African Redemption TO FRIENDS OF THE ASSOCIATION THROUGHOUT THE WORLD: The Garvey Release Campaign has closed. Members, friends and well-wishers of the Association have settled down to a period of anxious waiting. All have done their best to obtain executive clemency for the Honorable Marcus Garvey. Many unknown friends of the Association have stepped forth into the open in the last few weeks and told the world in unmistakable terms what they think of the Honorable Marcus Garvey and his divine creation, the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Negro World, in behalf of the Honorable Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, thanks all who helped in any manner in this last great effort to obtain the freedom of the greatest Negro of all time. The remarkable demonstration of friendship and sympathy by newspapers and individuals, both white and black, throughout the world has greatly encouraged both the Association and its leader. Whether the Garvey Release Campaign is successful or not, much has been gained in the holding of it. The Honorable Marcus Garvey must be released some time. Fearing dire consequences to his health if he remains in prison, we have been striving to hasten his release. Each time that an appeal is made, the Association and the Honorable Marcus Garvey receive added strength and encouragement from the thousands of friends who acquaint themselves with the work of the Association for the first time, and who thereafter become its firm and loyal supporters. The work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will continue to live and grow. The principles of the organization are becoming more and more firmly planted in the hearts of Negroes everywhere. Men and women of the white race who want to be fair lend all encouragement and aid in carrying on the work. Willing hands, black and white, will continue to carry on. The Honorable Marcus Garvey will soon again take up the active leadership of this greatest of Negro organizations. In the meanwhile, the Association will strive to live up to its ideals and continue to merit the verbal and moral support of those who have not yet joined its ranks, but who are beginning to see through the eyes of the Honorable Marcus Garvey.---THE EDITORS.

John Loran, Stat Commissioner of Education, ruled to- day in ordering reinstatement Jn th achool at Toma River of Negro chil. dren who had been pur in a spectal clask at South Toma River. Negr rexidents of Berkeley and Dover town- ships, Ucean county, had protested againnt the segregation of thelr chit- Gren. Ro intenxe was the feeling arouned by the action of the county school au- thorities that the cane wun carried to [the Supreme Court, and was brought ‘to the attention of the Legislature by Benntor Alexander Kimpaon of Hud- non, whe submitted a bill prohibiting nuch segregation.

A few dam ano a demurrer, Med to upset thercourt petition, waa dinminaed a» being without merit, and the school authorities were told to present such defenxe as they had, not later than July 1. Defending their action in the pro- ceedings before Dr. Logan, ths school authorities argued that the exclusion of pupllx from the Toma River school wan because all were from one to three years below normal and so unraly and Insubordinate am to conatitute a men- Aco to discipline. ‘The parents of the children at- tacked that contention and declared that the bvtiding to which the Negro pupils weve sent was inadequate and danger- ous to thelr heaith, Dr. Logan did not agree that the buliding was in any way improper. He said thae ite facilities were belter than in some of the other schools. Ruling on the exclusion Dr. Logan nad: “In the commissioner's opinion the exclusion from a certain achool and segregation in a school by themselves under u colored teacher, of all those tuition pupils In a certain district who are culored, together with a number of colored pupitn from another district, inevitably rulses the presumption that color Is the peculiar characteristic con- stituting the basin of exetusion.

"From the point of view of United States interests in the most hardboiled sense' there is little to be said for the continuance of our occupation of Hayti," the book states. "American investments there have in general proved a source of loss, and there is nothing to justify, from a selfish point of view, the continued expenditure of United States money in administering the country. The report asserts further that it is not true that Americans are in Hayti solely as disinterested benefactors and declares that "we cannot show clean hands in our business dealings there. "If our officials have tried to benefit the people of Hayti, as we believe they have, it is also true that the occupation has cared for American financial interests there at the expense of poor and weak neighbors." For the sake of American relations with the American republics, the writers believe that restoration of independence to Hayti is essential, saying: "Our relations with Latin America are poisoned by the feelings roused by several instances of an imperialistic tendency on the part of the United States, and of all the instances our actions in Haytl are perhaps the most flagrant." In the chapter on "Conclusions and Recommendations," the committee reports that the resolution presented to the Senate by Senator William H. King, of Utah, in April, 1926, directing a reconsideration of the Haytian claims to independence, if again presented "might not encounter any substantial opposition (at least openly) and might have an unexpectedly easy victory."

ROSE, HIGH COMMISSIONER In my contact and intercourse with men of my color during the past months. I found them for the most part too satisfied with life as they now have it. And I inwardly groaned as I realized that the complacence exhibited is the germ which will generate in total extinction. For while we are living in an atmosphere of self-satisfaction, our brethren of lighter hues are fast becoming the lords of creation, as they daily convert the forces of nature to their uses. While we seem contented with a room or two, and the other necessities which we consider enough for a comfortable existence, there are those who realize that these enjoyments are but appetizers for greater attainments. And they will never rest until they are at the peak of their accomplishments with the world at their feet. Can we not take examples from the insatiable "lordy of creation" in their endeavors to establish themselves in the matrix of civilization? Should we not take a leap from the pages of their remarkable progs from age to age? Negroes, will you not see that these men who were not satisfied to continually labor for a meager existence knocked at the barrers that had kept them down, and by presenting a united front to the world, claimed the respect and honors that are rightly due ambitious people? It is because of the contentedness of mind which we feel day by day that we generally divide ourselves in so many groups. It is because of our complacency that so much insularity exists. We feel that we have achieved all the happiness of life that one can desire, and therefore are in a position to socially mix with those from our own island. But the time is now ripe that we must face the issues which must be settled. Let us realise that whenever we think that we are in secure positions, we but labor under delusions which are quite apparent to persons who think—under assumptions that have no foundation, save in the craniums of mental defectives. Many years ago thousands of us who ventured to the shores of Panama thought we would now be enjoying times of financial prosperity, when we found that the money were floated above, among and around us. So we revealed in a carefree existence, without American administration is that its directing officials are honest, able and aiming to serve the people of Hayti and they assert that cruelty, abuse of personal power and violence seem to have been substantially stopped and the tone of the administration greatly improved since 1915. "However," they add, "the fact that the situation rests on force makes the American rule deeply repugnant to all Haytians who still prize the independence that they have suffered so much to win." It is remarked that it is doubtful whether the occupation is helpful to the Haytians in the fundamental matter of self government. Haytians are quoted as complaining that a generation is growing up without any political experience or habit of political responsibility or initiative, and that the government was never so militarised. Professor Douglas, who studied the political and economic aspects of the situation, says: "Since the appointment in 1922 of Brigadier General John H. Russell as High Commissioner of Hayti, no other Minister has been appointed. General Russell is, therefore, at the same time representative of the State Department, the army and the navy and our occupation consequently is a thinly disguised military control." Haytians Denied Big Offices Much complaining is heard in Hayti, he declares, in reference to the exclusion of Haytians from the more important administrative posts and the contrasts between the small salaries Haytian officials receive and those received by foreigners. It is pointed out that the foreigners hold only some 0.64 percent of the land area of Hayti, and that of six large companies started there, only two have been successful. In regard to health and sanitation, hope is expressed that the Rockefeller Foundation will continue in some form to aid the health work in Hayti. After the election of a Parliament responsible to the people, and when public opinion has had time to develop, the report recommends that a second Commission be appointed by the President to confer with Haytian leaders for final arrangement's. Among the subjects to be considered by the Commission the following are specified: revision of the Constitution; provision against the possible recurrence of revolutionary disorders; provision for the neutralization of Haytil and for a treaty of commerce and friendship between the United States and Haytil. a thought of the future. But too late we found that that life was too grand to last forever, and when the folt came we shuddered. While we lamented over the fact that a little thought on our part would have prepared us for any such blow, while we exclaimed, "If I had known," we inwardly pledged to ourselves that we would profit from that lesson. "But are we being profited? Let me answer this question, my dear friend; let me throw light on this situation, that demands the immediate attention of thinking Negroes. The Universal Negro Improvement Association came as a ray of hope in our lives. It tore the veil of ignorance from before our eyes and presented the truth before us in its naked garment. Like a bolt from the blue it descended in our midst to call our attention to alarming racial conditions that affected us individually and collectively. As mental pictures it took us up the rocky heights of human endeavors and placed us on the ledge of hope, and, pointing us the way of progress, stated in words loud and clear, "Go forth and conquer!" But, sad to say, many Negroes looked upon the plans of this organization as something to be scorned at. They called its program "castle building." This but shows how many of us are being profited by the sad experience of disappointment when we found that financial prosperity flickered out of our lives without a warning. And, instead of preparing themselves for the time when they can be in a position to demand the highest things in life, being backed up by a government of their own, they frequently exclaimed, "I am all right." But, brother, you are all right only as long as the other fellow feels to make you so. When he gives his ultimatum to get up and go, you will find that you are all wrong; and be assured that that time can be any moment. In conclusion, let me urge on you to ever realize that we are never secure under the conditions in which we now live. But with a united spirit we can strengthen our positions. Rally around the program of an organization that is working to give Negroes, no matter where domiciled, the satisfaction of guaranteed safety. Never fail to give your support to this movement that is working always for your salvation. Hoping you may all profit by this message. Yours for racial advancement. SOLOMON J. E. ST. ROSE.

NELSON MANUFACTURING CORPORATE PRESIDENT FOR CIVIL RULE IN PHILIPPINES Mr. Coolidge Leans to Thompson View and Disagrees With General Wood on Military Control RAPID CITY, S. D., June 28.—President Coolidge expects transfer of the Government of the Philippines from military to civic control at an early date. The President believes the natives are insmeasurably better off under American rule than they would be if granted independence. While he has taken a similar position on other occasions, the President's views have particular significance because of his talk with Major Gen. Leonard Wood. Governor General of the Philippines, at the summer White House last week. Gen. Wood believes the islands should be kept under military control as a strategic outpost in the Far East. Despite his endorsement of the Wood regime President Coolidge does not agree with the Governor General on this point and apparently desires to have his position made plain at this time because of Gen. Woods visit and talk with newspapermen. Views Are Summarized The White House position may be summarized as follows: The President contemplates no immediate change of policy with respect to the Philippines' administration as a result of Gen. Wood's visit. He is very much encouraged by the report of conditions which Gen. Wood made. President Coolidge feels the most important result of the Wood administration has been that the people have been brought to a realization that the present American policy there is one which promotes stability and tends toward greater prosperity. The people have been urged to show their capacity for self-government by a careful administration of the Organic Law, the Jones Act, and as a result 99 per cent. of the administration is in the hands of Filipinos. They hold the offices and carry on most of the government. Sees Advantage to Natives The President believes the Filipinos are in the happy condition of having self-government without the responsibility of protection and national defense usually shouldered by a people who have self-government. While Gen. Wood was at the lodge, the President discussed with him the establishment of a central bureau to have charge of all insular possessions. This idea was included in the Governmental reorganization bill known as the Brown bill, prepared under the Harding Administration, but not passed. At that time it was proposed to place the bureau of insular possessions under the Secretary of State, but Secretary Hughes indicated he did not care to assume the added responsibility. While President Coolidge has not given the matter any extended thought, he believes control should be vested in the Department of the Interior. The Secretary of the Interior has always had administration of disconnected territories such as Alaska, public lands and Indian affairs. Remoteness a Factor The President sees a difference with respect to the islands, however, in that they are less intimately connected with the rest of the country.

Since the islands came to us out of the war with Spain he considers it only natural they should have been administered by the military forces in the beginning. Civil administration in the islands grew up under military supervision and has been exceedingly successful under it. President Coolidge, feels, however, that the army and navy were established for military defense of the country and should be relieved of this added duty by purely civil control. The President's views are thought to have further significance, in that they coincide with the Thompson report. It has been understood Carmi Thompson, of Ohio, the President's special commissioner, who investigated the Philippines' situation last year, would succeed Gen. Wood if the latter's health did not permit his return. Wood's Return Problematical Although President Coolidge appears to believe the Governor Generals will be able to go back in September, he is about the only one of those who have seen Gen. Wood since his return who does believe that. Gen. Wood has the appearance of a man broken in health. It has been hinted the President has no desire for a discussion of Wood's possible successor at this time and fears to hinder Gen. Wood's recovery by accepting his present condition as permanent. The Black Hills region was overcast today and cool breezes brought a welcome relief from the heart of the past three days. In the early morning it was almost chilly and the President and Mrs. Coolidge spent a restful night. Several thunder showers made it cool last night. President Coolidge was at his desk here before 9 o'clock, having motored the thirty-two miles after an early breakfast. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JULY 9. 1987 SOME LESSONS FROM THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD and cattle, with a minimum loss of human life, however, has come and gone. To say that it was a visitation from the Almighty God of the republic upon the fathers for their sins in dealing with each other and with the stranger within the gates, would be to provoke the derision and jeers of the professing Christians who do not practice what they preach and who deny the faith in the very breath they profess to keep it. There were four lynchings and two burnings in Mississippi and Arkansas during the progress of the flood, with other high handed acts of white authorities and irresponsible individuals against their Negro fellow citizens, which showed that the white victims upon whom the visitation fell heaviest were utterly unconscious of the payment they were making for their wrong doing. That is to say, they were blinded to the truth. The lessons from the flood established the fact that the planters in the Mississippi States practice a virtual system of slavery in which Negro workers are victimized, and that large numbers of Negro workers are held to service by force, and that the planters are upheld in the forceful methods by their State authorities, and had the insolence and effrontery to expect that the Federal Government would join with their State authorities in helping to hold the Negroes to service by force; and it was further shown that the flood broke the bonds of these Negro peons and made it possible for thousands of them to escape from their bondage who would have otherwise died in it. We feel certain that thousands of them will break away from their enforced labor conditions and follow the north star to freedom. The Mississippi flood also showed the uplift agencies of the country, as well as the protective agencies of the Federal Government, that a system of slavery has grown up in the Mississippi River States which it is necessary to run down and root out. They now know and can have no excuse for not doing the work of correction, redress and protection which the victims call loudly for and are entitled to receive as a matter of constitutional right and as an act of human justice. The white employers of labor in the Southern States must not be allowed to develop another condition of Negro slavery which might grow into a cause for another bloody civil war. NECESSARY EMPLOYMENTS SLIPPING AWAY FROM THE RACE years, have been forced out of many basic industries in which they formerly had a virtual monopoly, and out of others in which they had a man's chance. Trade unionism has run them out, with race prejudice as the chief factor around which to gather the white workers. The Negro has been driven out of the skilled trades almost entirely, and in many of the unskilled trades his days appear to be numbered, because the tendency to displace him with white labor grows more pronounced every year. One of the most lucrative of the employments in which the Negro has enjoyed a splendid position is that of hotel, restaurant and house service, but before the restrictive immigration law went into effect he was being gradually forced out of this service. But a movement to drive him out has been revived. It is claimed that the Negro is responsible largely for his own undoing. The tendency to drive him out of hotel service appeared last winter in the Florida hotel corporations. The Norfolk Journal and Guide pointed out recently a tendency to do so in the new hotel at Old Point Comfort. And now the Atlantic City hotels have joined in the movement. An Atlantic City hotel manager gave as one of the reasons for the movement the following explanation: "The chief cause of complaint is that the habits of the waiters are of such as to make them inefficient and untidy. They come to work late, showing signs of all-night frivolities, and are unclean, emitting odors which have been the constant complaint of hotel patrons. The men are said to frequent the places of ill fame (supposed to number more than 700 in the Negro district) which are permitted to run under the protection of the political authorities now in power." The fact we desire to emphasize is that the Negro race in the United States is losing its hold on the few employments to which it has been restricted. An economic condition is presenting itself to them which means death by starvation from non-employment, and that unless they make employments for themselves in a larger way than they have been doing, this will happen to him. It is all the more urgent that the Negro should face his economic problem wisely and bravely, as other race groups face theirs, and strive more than ever to do for himself what others will no longer do for him. It is a matter of life and death with the Negro people.

LOOSELY WORDED PETITIONS ASKING PARDON FOR MR. GARVEY THE most significant feature about the recent conference between Attorney-General Sargent of the United States tween Attorney-General Sargent of the United States Department of Justice, and a delegation of persons interested in securing executive clemency for President-General Marcus Garvey of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was the attitude of an open mind taken by the attorney-general. He was willing to be convinced that Mr. Garvey should be pardoned. The next feature of moment was the statement of the attorney-general, as we have the report, that "there were two arguments that should be elaborated in Mr. Garvey's behalf, as follows: 1. The condition of his health, and, 2, the absence of any intention on his part to defraud. It should be easily understood that emphasis on these two points is all that is required. A great many petitions have been sent to the President which were no worded as to hinder rather than help in securing the exercise of executive clemency, the thing desired, and which the petitioners aimed to secure. The fact of the trial and conviction of Mr. Garvey are matters of record which the Department of Justice accepts as guide in dealing with any aspect of the case which may be brought to its attention, and it will not entertain any plea that there was anything wrong or unjust in the trial and conviction. When petitioners undertake to disprove the record the attorney-general at once assumes that they want him to admit that the government was wrong and unjust in the trial and conviction, and the attorney-general will not do that. Many petitions have reached him which have been too loosely worded in dealing with this phase of the question, as well as being too long and discursive of matters foreign to the question of the pardon. Petitions of this character have done more harm than good. The petitioners intended that it should have a helpful influence, of course, and not a hurtful one. In future, petitioners should make their arguments less verbose and discursive, and should not arraign the government for its acts, and they should rather emphasize the facts of Mr. Garvey's health and absence of any intention whatever to defraud. And there should be no let up at all in the movement to secure executive clemency for Mr. Garvey. SOCIAL PHASES OF THE WORK OF THE ASSOCIATION W HEN the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association gather in their Liberty Halls in regular meetings, the gatherings are always made colorful by the presence of the Royal Guards, the Black Cross nurses, the Boy Scouts, the choir, and the band, all in uniform, and, in their evolutions, maintaining the military appearance and air which are a part of their training, and a very important part. It is not a small thing to know how to walk a straight line and to turn a short corner, eyes front all of the time, and to stand erect, the whole body tense with potential strength and movement, and this whether in the hall drills or walking about the streets of the city or village. The soldierly way of carrying one's self always commands respect and admiration. Youth is the time of training and preparation for the future, serious, and exacting duties of life. If young people, men and women, are not sufficiently educated, during these plastic years, they are handicapped for life and will be forced to accept a position in life where skill and training are not requisites, and in which the rewards, or pay, for labor is small. It matters not who is responsible for the failure to prepare, the punishment is sure to come, for the laws of nature and progress are inexorable—Shreveport Sun. The auxiliary units of the association teach certain things that are essential and good to know and to practice, and the units give a color and a life to the meetings of the association without which they would lack much of their interest in the consideration of the grave matters of association policy and race conditions everywhere, with which they are generally concerned, and which are very solemn matters, so regarded by the members in the usual meetings. But these auxiliary units have a social side which is often overlooked but which is of the greatest importance in the work and success of the association. The meetings of these units are largely social in character. They bring the members together for practice in their several parts, but the social contact underlies much of their association and gives them inspiration for the larger work of the association which would otherwise be lacking. And the social gatherings of these units to which all are invited emphasize the social principle which starts in the family and goes out into the civil and economic hopes of the members and blunts in some sort the keen edge of their struggles to make ends meet—the struggles, as Paul Laurence Dunbar poetized it, "for a crust of bread and a place to sleep." That after all is the supreme struggle, and we get our strength in the social contacts of family and friends to successfully meet it. All race prejudice is not on one side, but much of that on our side is the direct result of the prejudice on the other side.—Cleveland Gazette. Those of us who are up, why not lift others up; those who are climbing, why not try "lifting others as you climb?" The one who lives for self alone knows not what happiness is, but he who lives for others and their happiness is a happy one indeed.—Star of Zion. Take the military ball and midnight show, staged by the Royal Orders of the New York Local, at the Savoy ballroom. Wednesday night of last week, in New York city. It was one of the most colorful social gatherings the editor of The Negro World ever attended. It was rather in the nature of a family gathering, as the old folks and the young folks were out in force and the old and the young children alike and with equal zeit in the gayeties of the occasion. And everybody remarked on the smart appearance of the Royal Orders, reapplanted in their uniforms. And what a galaxy of young boys made up the gathering! Nowhere else could we see the young heads of the appreciation, and their fathers and mothers, gathered together and to help out with the mortgage fund for Liberty One must not deepen because the times are not so prosperous and money no plantiful. There must be no resorting to questionable means to reach ends desired. Principles must not be formulated while malling against the tide.—Tampa Bulletin. It is a dreadful thing to be obliged to conceal one's face from one's follows and never show it again; but there are multitudes of people who always voluntarily wear a mask. They never show the face of their real self. They are always behind a mask of虚伪 or death—beyond a bring mask—behind a mask of dishonesty and insincerity.—Portland Advocate. Our one big job is to forget our little differences and work together for the success of all, as other races of people are doing. Until we can do this we will continue to be the servant class for others, who have little respect and less consideration for us an an economic and political entity.—St. Paul Echo. Mere bigness in business, as in other undertakings, is not of itself virtue. The bare ambition to excel in bulk may lead to serious weakness. It is radical to swell the volume of a business beyond the demands of the situation or beyond the point of diminishing returns.—Dayton Forum. Book learning is fundamental, but lack of natural ability; and shirking of hard work will render them a liability instead of an asset. The idea that education is secured to make one work less and to lau. it over the less educated, is an error and a distorted view of life. The educated fool is a pittable sight.—Boston Chronicle. The mind is the house in which we live more truly than in the body. If we furnish the mind garishly we must live in a garish house. If we furnish the mind carelessly, we must live in a slavely house. If we take our mental furniture only from the past, we shall live in the past alone. If we take it only from the fuddish notions of the present, we shall live amid fade and foliage which vanish ever we know them. But if, on the other hand, our mental diet is balanced, comprised of the fights tested by time and muscled and spiced by the piquancy of the present, we may live a balanced, ordered life—California Beach. There is usually a hesitancy among most people in discussing sex problems, yet such matters are vital to our very existence. Laws governing marriage, divorce and illegitimacy are largely made by men without consulting the feminine sex in the matter, therefore both Eastern and Western standards weigh heavily on women. The East has just begun to emerge from polygamous practices, which permits a multiple of wives according to a man's ability to support them, while its proponents contend that the system eliminates prostitution and social diseases, yet the ignorance and subserviency of the women retards the progress of those countries. Monogamy, while supposedly a Western system, is just a theory, the practice of which amounts to indiscriminate polygamy (only one union at a time being legal), which brings in its wake social and mental diseases, poverty and hastyty. Western customs create a double standard of morality. Men have a free license for self-indulgence, while women who indulge likewise become social outcasts. The spread of the knowledge of birth control has tended to increase sexual indulgence, and this in turn is causing young men to refrain from marriage. Why? Because their physical desires can be satisfied without the responsibility of caring for a wife and without the danger of supporting illegitimate children. The young girl of marriagable age walks in vain for marriage proposals; she must lower herself by resorting to furtive pleasures or employ repressive control, which finally lands some in insane asylums or causes them to be nervous wrecks. The normal physical function of women is to bear children, and when healthy women are prevented from doing a nervous reaction sets in. Negro men—who, by the way, detest any sort of responsibility—contend that the reason they do not care to become husbands is because they are not fit for the task economically. But we feel that since they make very little effort to lift themselves to the standard of economic independence, they really have not the proper appreciation or love for their women, and this is the basic reason for the low status of the race and the insults heaped on Negro women by white men. American Negro women are their own breadwinners, whether they are married or not, and practically their only source of employment is in white men's factories or homes. They are therefore subject to the wiles of such men, who abuse them for pleasure. What can the poor women do? They must either work or starve; quite often they have children dependent on their labor, and the thought of those little ones in need lapels them to put up with insults and hardships so as to be able to provide for them. How often one sees groups of men during the day standing outside pool parlor, leaning against speakables as if to give them physical support, and their conversation is in this strain: "My old lady is a good chef, she makes $20 a week"; next voice: "Oh man, mine can't be beat, she makes $40 a week in the factory during the rush and can clean up some good overtime." Third voice: "Say, don't you know my wife does day's work—four, ten a day and carfare—and when up and my dinner just sitting on the stove waiting for me." In order to keep up appearances many women tolerate lazy husbands, but their bragging to bachelors about their hard-working wives puts the latter in the frame of mind of doing likewise. They argue: "If George can get a Jane to work for him, I can get one too." The result is lazy husbands or no husbands at all. The ambitious, intelligent young woman who is not disposed to support her husband is therefore made to suffer. Where can she find a responsible husband who could in truth be called the head of the house; one who would shoulder the financial burdens, and leave her free to manage her home and expand her intellectual gifts! We have frankly outlined the situation and hope that our male readers, especially the younger ones, will see the far-reaching effects of their attitude toward marriage and wives, and so act as to prevent a continuation of the existing conditions, and exhibit those sterling qualities of real manhood that go to make up a progressive race and a powerful nation. Thirst Maddened Lions Monaco S. Africa Town CAPE TOWN, South Africa, April 11 (A. P.)—Lack of rain here is affecting even the lions. Parties motorizing near the town of Mossina report encountering lions travelling in groups. Some groups showed light, and only timely rifle shots kept them from charging on mouses at the intruders. It is thought the drying of the hoes in the violet and the fact that rivers are practically all dry have led to the animals haunting the areas of white settlements. Poems composed in Yoruba, the language of a West African (Nigerian) tribe, well known for its fertile poetic genius. Selected and translated by Julius Ojo-Cole. In presenting these poems Mr. Ojo-Cole comments as follows: Every people, primitive or civilized, have their own ideas of goodness and beauty. These ideas may be different in conceptual imagery, and the concrete expression of them may equally differ from people to people. The difference, where it exists, is not one of more degree, but of kind, due mainly to the particular medium chosen to express a people's aesthetic sense. The African, in particular, has unique ideas in his aesthetic valuations. He has not lived all these long years with the majestic grandeur of nature around him in vain. Our ancestors have been artists of their kind, and composed poetry as they understood it. It needs patience and long research to exploit the treasures left in the field where most treasures unrecorded have been lost with the death of their makers. In translating from Yoruba into English it has been my experience that a literal rendering often mars the beauty of the poems and reduces their furvid emotion to almost prosaic coldness. I have, therefore, yielded to the exigencies of my medium, recasting the order of the expressions so as to give the fullest possible meaning to the Yoruba ideas within the limitations of the English language.

Against the beast, yet brave and stern, He goes, Benefactor—lord of me. To the field where he who beasts of two Shall see one son alone return. And he whose pride is set on one Lone and forlorn his lot shall be. "O, that to father's words I list! O, that mother's prayers prevailed!" Let him who in the sercest fight Would think such basely thoughts Be gone, Ken now. Away from my lion lord! If thy lover ripens in years. Mature for thy bridal bed. Come not with such thoughts in mind. Stay away! Stay away! And follow not my lord. The lion of the field. "With this war song." says Mr. of yore set out against their foe, for bards singing the deeds of heroes to won from Aercest foes, of triumph fight and fight bravely and well. Streams of blood, dauntless, they fail cause, they fall never with their back "With this war song," says Mr. Ojo-Cole, "and others like it, our aires of yore set out against their foe, followed by a train of drummers and tribal bards singing the deeds of heroes fallen or now too old to fight; of victories won from Sercest foes, of triumphs marking their success in arms. They fight and fight bravely and well. Strong is their charge; through spears and streams of blood, dauntless, they face the foe. And, if the gods desert their cause, they fall never with their back to the foe! Departing day shall wend its way Along its path of yesterday; The setting sun creeps wearily To loll his limbs right dreamily. Light comes on. Dimmer the darkness dims. Fly I must, ere 'tis morn. Swift as the fox That dares not face in town The giars of dawn. "If the ideas in the above are not poetic," comments Mr. Ojo-Cole, "never mind the words or the rhymes—what else shall we call poetry! What imaginative mind could fall to see the beautiful picture of tropical sunset depicted here in simple poetic thoughts. "The setting sun" recodes slowly v. rest behind the golden horizon, but the movement of the verse is rapid enough to show how, following the setting of the sun, night suddenly "comes on" and overtakes the "departing day." And have we not a fitting climax in the slow movement of the sun contracted with the Adamorlaha's forethought to haste away, to hit like the fox and escape from the glare of dawn, the glare of the sun, the sun which a moment ago was growing dim! Surely this is an example of the paradox of poetic thought.

STUMBLING BLOCKS The American Negro is laboring under a double handicap. Aside from the oppression that comes from the dominant group, the Negro is shackled with crooked leaders who deliberately misdirect the efforts of the struggling masses. Large groups of Negroes have been brought under the away of cheats, robbers and hypocrites whose sole objective is to enrich themselves at the expense of the ignorant poor. As great as the pressure is that comes from without, the most damnable injury which the Negro suffers is from false leadership. They gain the confidence of the people by false representation and fraud. Because colored people suffer so heavily on account of racial prejudice they are easily proyed upon by every faker with a black skin who claims that he is integrated in their progress. There is no valid reason for protecting a crook. A black crook is just as dangerous as a white crook. We have been two sympathetic with black folk who have robbed us and defrauded us out of money and our rights. We have permitted black men to sell us out to white politicians for their personal gain, without protecting against them, instead of smiling those who shout us to jail we permit them to escape and to continue their fundamental scheme. These fake leaders are making us drink the very drugs of hell. And until we summon sufficient courage to get rid of them the great man of our folk will continue to follow a leadership that will help us in the valley of despair, ignorance and impatience—The Florida Bountyman. England Buying Wines in Africa LONDON.—The British Winery, Kingston-on-Thames, has agreed to take from the Cooperative Wine Growers of South Africa the whole of their exportable surplus of sweet wines of port character during the next six years, estimated at 2,000,000 gallons. "This is the largest wine deal in the history of the trade," said L. Campbell-Johnson, chairman of the company, to the Westminster Gazette. In the fiscal year to April 1928 Australia, he said, imported into Great Britain 381,000 gallons of sweet, high-strength wines, as against the total of 18,000 gallons from all the other British wine-growing countries and possessions. These figures gave prominence to the importance to South Africa growers of the new deal. The deal will be of great advantage to South African wine growers, many of whom are or-service men who have emigrated and taken up husbandry on their war gratuities or have taken shares in a vintery with others. In recent years there has been enormous overproduction of wine in South Africa owing to lack of marketing facilities. With the largest world telescope, at Mt.

Dr. Molema, with commendable courage, stands upon his rights and the South African authorities are finding it difficult to wriggle out. Dr. Molema, the son of an African chief and an honor graduate of Glasgow University, Scotland, has engaged counsel to protect his interests in the determination of a matter which is bound to have a profound repercussion throughout Africa. The Rand Daily Mail (white) supplies the following in regard to the latest developments of the case: BUTTON and CERTIFICATE—Donors of $20 and upward will receive both of the above awards. FRED A. TOOTE, Chairman (From the Rand Daily Mail) As a result of a further communication from Dr. Molema's attorneys, Mears, Minchin and Kelly, consequent upon their examination of the Victoria Hospital Board's correspondence and minutes relative to their client, a subcommittee has been deputed by the board to formulate certain proposals whereby Dr. Molema may be placed. The committee will report on Friday evening and will place its proposals before the board. Guarantee Demanded The wording of the attorney's letter has not yet been disclosed, but I am reliably informed that it demands a guarantee of the board's future good faith by compelling the nurses, as far as lies in its power, to carry out instructions and give the same attention to Dr. Molema's patients as to those of other practitioners, and that the board shall not in the future do anything or influence any line of action that may prejudice Dr. Molema's professional activities at the Victoria Hospital. Unless Dr. Molema receives these assurances there is every reason to DONATIONS OF ONE ($1.00) DOLLAR AND UPWARD SOLICITED believe that he will proceed as soon as possible with an action for damages. Dr. Molema's Case It was stated to me on behalf of Dr. Molema that there is nothing vindictive in the attitude he has adopted; his object is simply to ensure the recognition of his professional status and to protect his patients. It is a matter of indifference to him whether the nurses are European or non-European so long as they are capable, as members of the Victoria Hospital staff, to take instructions and attend to whatever patients. European or otherwise, he may have occasion to send to the hospital. A telegram has been received from the Administrator to the effect that so far he has been unable to obtain suitable non-European nurses. A number of applications have, however, been received by the board from non-European women with experience mostly in mine hospitals, offering their services to the board. I understand that the Medical Advisory Committee decided that none of them are suitable.

Meetings of natives have recently been held in the Northern Free State by the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union, and a meeting was held at Reits (writes our correspondent) on Tuesday with a view to putting a stop to these gatherings. The meeting was convened by Senator N. W. Serfontein, and was composed of farmers for the most part. It was said that the meetings were "hotbeds of sedition, where racial hatred was stirred up. Ministers of the Crown were insulted, the churches abused and ignorant and credulous natives were led astray." It was decided to appoint a deputation comprising Senators N. W. Serfontein, Wessel Wessels and D. Malan and Dr. D. G. Conradie, M. L. A., to make representations to the Minister of Native Affairs to expedite the passing of the Sedition Bill, which it is hoped will put a stop to speeches by Keble, Mote and others. The meeting also decided to resuscitate the moribund Boerebond that came into being as far back as 1909, but which had died a natural death owing to lack of the requisite support and co-operation and the absorbing interest taken in party politics by the farming community since the rebellion. A committee of 15 was accordingly elected to get into communication with various organizations in the Orange Free State, farmers' associations especially, with a view to convening a congress here or elsewhere to form a strong union whose object it will be to standardize conditions of employment and wages of native workers on the farms in order to protect the interests of employers and to study the native problem in all its ramifications. Before proceedings terminated the meeting decided to send a telegram to the matron and staff of the Victoria Hospital, Mafeking, congratulating the latter on their recent attitude. Our correspondent adds that during the past few weeks, as a result of the public boycotting, the businesses where they are employed, some of the prominent local members of the I. C. U. have been without work, and many farmers do not allow any members of this organization on their farms. "What do you dance?" When a man belonging to one branch of the great Bantu division of mankind met a member of another, said Livingstone, that was the question he asked. What a man danced, that was his tribe, his social customs, his religion, for, as an anthropologist has expressed it, "a savage does not preach his religion, he dances it." Nothing seemingly, could be farther removed from a savage than that cultured and radiant little lady, Miss Florence Mills or any of her brother and sister artists whose amazing vitality in the entertainment known as "Black Birds" has taken London by storm; yet there is a fervor that has a religious quality in their work, and one may harvard the theory that this is no more accident. A comparison with the art of painting-may serve to clarify the idea. The Futurists and the Impressionists and the Cubists deliberately discarded almost all that had been learnt through the centuries of the art of painting and by a return to the most primitive forms, the most crude methods, sought to infuse new life into a body that was becoming tired and decadent. The first result was to shock and even horify the public; and in many cases, it is true, the exponents sought merely to conceal a lack of technical equipment by glaring eccentricities; such charlatans soon vanished from the scene. But the sincere artists worked steadily on, and, having started a revolution proceeded to build up a new state, utilizing what was good in the old regime. So it is that many men who were regarded as revolutionaries twenty or thirty years ago, are today acknowledged as masters—Whistler, Rodin, Picasso, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Wyndham Lewis—one need not extend the list. In a not dissimilar way the Black Birds, whether consciously or unconsciously, have shaken off all the old traditions of the dance and have gone back to the primitive peoples of Africa—the birthplace of dancing—in their endeavors to create an art that, superficially European as it may be in some aspects, is in its inspiration essentially African. They have recognized that dancing is a primary and essential art—the earliest of the arts that express themselves first in the human person—significance lies in the fact that it is an intimate concrete appeal of a general rhythm. The secret of the appeal of the Black Birds lies in the auto-intoxication that rapturous movement brings alike to spectators and devotees. London has seen nothing to equal the dancing of the Black Birds and to appreciate that fact it is not sufficient to see them in their performance at the London Pavilion. Comparisons, however odious, are sometimes illuminating. When Mr. C. B. Cochran arranged a Charleston Ball as the Albert Hall not long ago dancers from all the London theatres and cabarets came along to contest a Charleston competition. Thousands of spectators wildly cheered the "Lido Lady" girls and the Pleoadilly girls and the rest of the teams who worked so frantically to win the prizes. After it was all judged and settled, the competitors squatted around the edge of the floor and the Black Birds came on the scene. Very wisely they had been regarded as bors concours, for their dancing made everything that had gone before seem like the feeble staggerings of debilitated baboons. They attain a perfection of ensemble such as has never been seen on the English stage. They work not as twenty or thirty individual dancers, not as principals supported by corps de ballet, but as one body animated in an ecstatic frenzy of rhythmic motion. One must insist upon this aspect of the Black Birds' art, for it is chiefly on dancing that they depend and by which they succeed. Florence Mills has a sweet and flute-like voice; the Southern Trio bring back memories of those part-songs and plantation ditties that delighted our grandfathers in the days of the old Christy Minstrels; Lloyd Mitchell, U. S. Thompson, and Johnny Nit, the three "Pullman Portera" and Johnny Hudgins with his "silent songs" and his skating feet are humorists of remarkable wit; but the singing and the humor could be equalled elsewhere; no other band of artists could hope to rival the dancing of this talented company. No such fresh and bracing breeze has blown into the dancing world since the advent of the Imperial Russian Ballet in pre-war days. The advent of the Black Birds cannot fail to influence considerably the stage dancing of today. The danger is that success and tempting offers will split them asunder. Something of the kind has already happened in the case of the Russian Ballet which had become westernized and emasculated; the best dancers have drifted away, the old perfection of the corps de ballet is lacking, the former force and vitality has waned. The strength of the Black Birds lies in their team work and above all in its essential "Africanity." Whether their dancing be ecstatic or pantomimic it is the burning sands and the primal swamps of Africa that it brings to mind, and never the dance halls of Paris or the cabarets of New York. It is this native quality, this marvel- IMPORTANT CONVENTION NOTICE!

Washington Amazed WASHINGTON, June 29.—Govern- ment officials were amazed today ai the disclosures in the Herald Tribune that Soviet Russia was educating American Negroes in communism and training them for an uprising against the United States. The disclosures were seen at the State Department as the strongest pos- aible vindication of the department's settled policy of not recognizing Rus- aia and will form, it was said today. an important addition to the material which the department already has col- lected with regard to that country. “It puts recognition of Ruasla into the very far distant future,” a respon- sible official sald after reading the story, “and !t will have most far- reaching consequences.” Officials were uncertain as to what action the United States government could take with regard to these. Ne- gtoes, but this much is certain: They will be carefully watched for any sus- picious act on their part. “This te the last straw.” an offclal of the Department of Justice remarked. “It shows bow violent is the Russian dislike of the United States and it shows that the time is fant approach- ing when the government will have to take cognizance of this situation.” It was freely predicted that some action would be taken at the next ses- sion of Congress toward passing & law, whereby such activities of the Soviets within the borders of the United States can be reached. Officials here charged with observing the un- derground attempts of the Boviet agents to make trouble have long felt the need of such legislation and teday's disclosure will, they hope, attract pud- Uc attention and make some law pos- sible. At present there is nothing which the American government can do ex- cept watch. The government has no power to prevent the Negroes from returning to this country and after they and it 1 almost equally pores een. ‘The responsibility for seeing that these Negroes do not make trouble, it was explained. will devolve almost entirely on the State govern- ments. All the war measures, such as the Syndicalist laws, have been re- pealed. d ‘An American diplomatic official. commenting on The Herald Tribune's disclosures today, said it showed not ‘only Russia's hostility to the United States, but Russia’s cleverness in pro- moting her own ends. “The Russians.” said this official, “have carefully gone among the Negroes. the most emotional and most eastly influenced people of the United States. They have gone not to the southern Negro, but to the Negroes in the crowtied communities of the north. They have picked the weakest place in the Atierican armor and it is high time the American people realized it.” Disclosures Aid Kellogg It is regretted here that this knowl- céze was not in the hands of the State Department when Secretary of State Kellogg appeared before the Benats Foreign Relations Committee last winter with evidence of com- munist propaganda. Such evidence, it was ald today, would have mace hin task much easier and will in the future help him in winning the as- sistance of southern Senators if the need should aries, The American government's ob- ection to recognizing Russia has been paned on two grounds—firat. the fail- ire of Russia to pay her debt, and, jecond, the propeganda carried on bY Russian agents in the United States.

Diplomas and certificates were presented to twenty- three students. An interesting program of vocal and piano selections was ren- dered, in which several of the gradu- ates participated. The commencement address delivered by A. Philip Randolph was a masterpiece of eloquence and fine oratory, and was reeeived with intense interest and enthusiam. It was very appropriate to the occasion and conveyed @ message of inspiration and practical advice that made a forceful and lasting impression on the mindt of those who heard It. The principal, I. N.

Prizes were awarded as fol- lows: Matilda Meade and Olivia Mont- womery for distinction in shorthand; Ella Callwood for distinction in type- writing, and Lucille Roberta for ex- cellence in English. ; Mr. Braithwaite’s address was as follows: “Ladies and Gentlemen: On bdehalt of our school and its students I wish to extend a hearty welcome to one and all here tonight. You have come here to do honor to these students, who will tonight receive the reward for their Yabor nobly performed. It 1s to the eredit of these graduates that they have for @ period of months made a personal sacrifice to attend school eve- ning after evening for the purpose of improving themselves and be in a po- sition to render larger and greater service to themselves. to the commu- nity and to the race. With the numer- ous opportunities for pleasure that ere afforded young people in a large com- ‘munity such as this it requires a good deal of will power and determination— &@ determination born of’ ambition—to [pull one's self away. even for a few Sons, and attend schoot wfc others are indulging in the pleasures that Dife affords. To get an-education is not an easy task; it requires perseverance, Geternination, concentration and de- yotion to study; hence what these graduates have accomplished ts not nly a personal achievement, but it is an achiewment for tho race; for in Proportion 28 our young people train themselves and qualify for business or commercial pursuits, in such propor- tion will the status of the race be raised in the eyes of others. From time immemorial the Negro race has been Yooked upon as capable only of per- forming the menial tasks of life, as being the hewers of wood and the drawer cf water; theracere, as the members of our race continue to enter the business and the professional world and leave the ranks of the unskilled workers to enter the ranks of the akilled workers, other races will begin to view us from a different perspective: and as they view us from a different perspective, so will we command a greater degree of respect and esteem fron them.

Wellington Miserable After Great Victory How does a general feel when his armies hae just won a gvreat victory? ‘The Duke of Wellington answered the question shortly after the Battle of Waterloo with poignancy, says the De- troit News. . “I hope to God that I have fought my last battle,” he cried. “It is a bad thing to be always fighting. While in the thiek of it I am too much occu- pled to feel anything, but it is wretch- ed just after. It is quite impossible to think of glory. Both mind and feel- ing are exhausted. I am wretched even at the moment of victory. I al- ways say that next to a battle lost the greatest misery in a battle gained. Not only do you lose those dear friends with whom you have been living, but. you are forced to leave the wounded behind you. To be sure, one tries to do the best for them, but how little that is! At such moments every feel- ing in your breast is deadened. I am just beginning to regain my natural spirits and I never wish for any more fighting.” Rundown and Nervous Wear pest at the sare Genringtonn rede pet ot tne sromerm, Bearing rat Rees Sie mete oe tenga wane eee ata” a Se ease nek Sena ages i eee ei EErrags sets oe et a a age Pa Rg I eat sits, Weeiht BANS” ut, tas Se SEr patie ey tate battens Sea eta oa dC Ea Sages. th rabied Seni eet SRT Mies ES UREN Siti aitn oath ae ietonactt 2 ences et bee IOS Ab? see ieecatet aed iceman auis gee revert Beg Sis oan “tiiiet Rghaatte © whic thine” TWerite:teaay Tate advise, fe THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A.

That Baby You've Longed For Mrs. Burton Advises Women on Motherhood and Companionship "For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood" writes Mrs. Margaret Burton, of Kansas City. "I was terribly nervous and subject to periods of terrible suffering and melancholy. Now I am the mother of a beautiful daughter. I have a true companion and inspiration to my husband. I believe hundreds of other women would like to know the secret of my husband's marriage. I have married women who will write me." Mrs. Burton offers her advice entirely without charge. She has nothing to sell. Letters should be addressed to Mrs. Margaret Burton. Her correspondence will be strictly confidential. MORON, CUBA Sunday, June 19, will ever be remembered by the Negroes of Moron. The 10:45 a.m. train brought us welcome visitors in the persons of the Hon. Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis and her secretary, Miss R. Thomas. They were met at the station by the president, Mr. D. H. Campbell; E. Z. Island, first vice-president; T. M. Huntley, general secretary, and C. A. Gordon, chairman of Trustee Board, and were taken to the home of the lady president, Mrs. T. M. Huntley, where they stayed. Long before the regular hour for the mass meeting in the evening the hall was crowded to its utmost capacity; every eye was looking out with anxiety to see the distinguished visitor. At about 8 p.m. she was escorted in by the Black Cross Nurses and the president to the rostrum while the processional hymn, "Shine On, Eternal Light," was being sung. The religious part of the meeting was conducted by the chaplain, Mr. James Lamey, after which the chair was turned over to the president, who introduced Lady Davis to the audience in the course of his opening address. The program was as follows: Address, Mr. R. C. Russell; anthem by the choir; address, Mr. C. E. Brown; hymn, "God Bless Our President"; solo by Mrs. E. Z. Island; address by Miss R. Thomas; secretary to Miss Davis, followed by an anthem by the choir while the collection was being taken up. Next was little Miss Daisy Walters, about 12 years old, who kept the audience spellbound with her welcome address to the lady and the presentation of a lovely bouquet. This little child will certainly become one of the real leaders of the race if she sticks to the association. Next was the singing of the first verse of the National Anthem, followed by the introduction of Lady Davis amidst thunderous applause. She took for her subject these words: "The race is not for the swift, nor the battle for the strong, but to them that endure to the end." She kept the audience spellbound for thirty-seven minutes with her eloquence. Next was a song by the choir, entitled "Reapers Are Needed." The announcements and the National Anthem brought the meeting to a close. On Monday, June 20, a business meeting was held, in which many matters of vital importance regarding the powerful working of the division were dealt with. At $300 a colossal mass meeting was held, at which Lady Davis and Miss R. Thomas were the only speakers. Lady Davis in her address took us from New York to Africa and back. We spent one hour and ten minutes on the trip, both ways. Those who are well acquainted with geography could follow her all the way on an imaginary map. She took us from New York, then to Portugal, where we spent a few days; then to the Canary Islands, then to Senegal, then to Sierra Leon, then to Monrovia, Liberia. On our return she stopped us at Amsterdam, Holland, and Paris, and then back to New York. The trip was a pleasant one. After an address in Spanish by Miss Thomas the announcements were made, and THE NINO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 2017 the meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Anthem. On Tuesday, June 21, another business session was called by Miss Davis, in which more matters relative to the good and welfare of the division were death with. Owing to the heavy rain there could be no mass meeting in the evening. Wednesday night, June 22, a reception was held in honor of Lady Davis and her talented secretary, Miss Thomas. A few minutes after the close of the reception a mass meeting was called to order by the ex-president, Mr. D. H. Campbell, as the newly elected officers were not yet placed in charge. The program was as follows: Solo by Mr. Tibby; recitation, Master Harry Dough; address, Mrs. R. Duncan; address, Mr. C. Bennett; solo, Mrs. Campbell; address in Spanish by Miss R. Thomas; address and presentation of a letter of congratulation to Lady Davis for her faithfulness and consistency, by Mr. E. Z. Island, ex-vice-president; by Mr. E. Z. Island, ex-vice-president; by Mrs. T. M. Huntley, ex-lady president; recitation by Miss Hilda Walters; song by the choir; solo, Mr. Powell; duet, Miss Wilby and company; address, Mr. D. H. Campbell, ex-president. Next was the farewell address of Lady Davis. The enjoyable meeting was brought to a close and the audience sang the well-known hymn, "God Be With You Til We Meet Again." E. Z. ISLAND. Reporter. MONTREAL, CANADA President Alfred Potter has given an impetus to the Montreal Division. The membership is prosecuting the work of Garveyism with vigor. On June 2 an entertainment was given under the direction of Trustee James. It was a great success, both socially and financially. Among those contributing to the program were "The Scott Trio," "The Taylor Boys," Mrs. Burke, the Misses Shepherd, Messrs. Pleasant and Augustine, Lady Vice-President Mrs. Folkes, Messrs. Brown, James and Gittens, Miss Vivian Lane and Prof. Smyth, accompanists. On Friday, June 10, the Maple Leaf Lodge, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, united with us in a farewell party to Mr. Marshallchle, chairman of the Building Fun Committee, Mr. Marshallchle, an enthusiastic Garveyite and an Indefatigable worker, is the most popular figure in Montreal. While he will be a great loss to the Division during his vacation in Jamaica, we heartily wish him a pleasant journey home and a safe and speedy return. If the man who said Garvegism is declining could have looked in at Liberty Hall, 134 Chatham Street, Sunday afternoon, June 12, on the occasion of the joint meeting of the Pride of Montreal Elks Lodge and the Montreal Division, U. N. I. A., he would have been badly disillusioned. Every available seat was taken, children sitting on the edge of the platform while gallant sons of Ham vied with each other in offering their seats to charming damsels. After the usual preliminaries Vice-President Charles Russell presided while a short but interesting program was rendered, Miss Vivian Lane played a pleasing solo. Mrs. Florence Marshall recited in an impressive manner. A brilliant piano duet was played by the Scott children. Mrs. H. Marshall rendered an exquisite piano selection. Prof. Prevost's two violin solos marked him as an artist of the highest caliber. The address of welcome to the Elks was rendered by President Alfred Potter, who said in part: "That the cause of disunity in the race is due to us misunderstanding one another and he hoped to weld all organizations in Montreal in closer bonds for mutual help and race uplift." Rev. Chas. Este replied on behalf of the Elks' Exalted Ruler, Mr. Wilson. He commended the U. N. L. A., recounted the rapid rise of the Elks and pledged their support in any undertaking for racial unity. The ladies of the Division served refreshments, during which time Mr. Jones played a piano solo and Mr. Tucker the clarinet. After brief remarks by Trustee Tucker and the chairman, three cheers were given for Rev. Ethet, three cheers for the Elks, and three cheers for Marcus Garvey. A motion to send a telegram to President Coolidge in behalf of the Hon. Marcus Garvey was unanimously carried. The singing of the Ethiopian Anthem ended a memorable meeting. We are pleased to announce the marriage of ex-Secretary Mr. Fergus McKenzie to Miss Rhoda Bowen. Both are ardent Garveyites and we extend our congratulations and wish them success. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Thompson. We extend our sympathy to his widow and children, who are loyal members of the juvenile chain. Mr. Lovil Spencer, one of Montreal's oldest and most respected business men, has also passed away. He was a strong advocate of race upfit and one of the original members of the U. N. I. A. orchestra. His funeral was attended by hosts of friends, both white and black. The Division extends its warm sympathy to his widow and bereaved relatives. We are pleased to announce birth of two sons to Mr. and Mrs. Lovil Lord of 79 Walnut street, St. Mary. Our heartfelt congratulations. WM. H. TROTT. Reporter. PROSPERITY GOOD LUCK'S LEADER WING THE DOCUMENT AND RAGGIT'S POST: BODY A MURGE OF LABESTONE FLORIDA, CAL, CUBA The Florida Division had the pleasure of enjoying a visit of Lady Henrietta Vinton Davia, fourth assistant president-general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, on June 11. This distinguished visitor came by the evening train from Bemorada to Florida and was met at the station by the president and other officers of the division, also by the Girl Guides under the command of Mr. Kenneth Smith, 3rd vice-president of the division. After the guide had been presented to her, the officers and the honorable lady along with her private secretary motored to the home of the president where she was accommodated for the week. At the evening meeting the building was crowded to standing capacity. After the preliminaries the president opened the meeting with an address, introducing the esteemed official visitor from the Parent Body. Before she spoke, the executive secretary read a letter of welcome from the division to Miss Davis. Everyone enjoyed her address as she handled the subject of "Rally to the Cause" in a masterly manner. When she took her seat again Miss R. Thomas, her private secretary, spoke. This talented young Cuban woman impressed the audience greatly by her gift and knowledge of the two languages—English and Spanish—and her words of encouragement to the folks of this town. The following night a greater crowd listened to the visitors at the mass meeting, which began in the usual manner. The chaplain, Mr. Ewen, performed the religious part of the service. Speeches were delivered by the president, the 1st vice-president and Miss Winnifred Reid; recitations by Misses A. Green, M. Burnett, M. Thomas and Perring; songs by Mr. J. White and Miss E. Costley. The principal speakers for the evening were Lady Davis and Miss Thomas. The former told of her experiences in traveling to and in Africa. This interested the people greatly and the thought of the western Negro going to live in the mother land, Africa, and enjoying the privileges of our home land became rather vivid in the minds of many of her hearers. Miss R. Thomas spoke on the general effect of conditions on the Negro of this country. Much credit must be given for her eloquent speech. Before the meeting came to its close one member was added to the roll. During the week Lady Davis assisted in the preparations for the play "Ethiopia at the Bar of Justice," which was staged on June 18 and was a great success in more than one way. The services of the organist, Mrs. R. J. McIntosh, were worthy of special mention. On Thursday night of the same week the division held a business meeting. The president turned the meeting over to Lady Davis after the preliminaries were gone through. The true spirit of Garveyism could be read in the manner the distinguished officer presided over the meeting. She gave much credit to the members for the up-keep of the division, who in turn expressed their confidence in the president who had so easily piloted them from the re-organizing of the division in September, 1922. Lady Davis left for Moron on June 19. It is the sincere wish of the division that her success be complete. We have another visitor in the person of Mrs. Alice Sharpe of Liberia who has been the guest of the division since June 20. She lectured on the resources of Liberia on Wednesday night at the hall. CON. ADJ. HOWLITT. Reporter. PACUANTO, COSTA RICA On Tuesday night, June 14, a special meeting was called of the division in honor of Mrs. Bridget Aird, who visited our division in the interest of the organization, being empowered by Madam M. L. T. De Mena, assistant international organizer, to work in the field throughout the Republic of Costa Rica. The president, Mr. J. E. Josephs, opened the meeting with the usual exercises. Mr. Josephs welcomed all to Liberty Hall, and introduced Mrs. Aird, the speaker of the evening. She arose amidst thunderous applause and kept her hearers spellbound for 48 minutes with an eloquent address on the program of the U. N. L. A. for Africa's redemption. In conclusion she said, "Labor on, and carry on, for our reward is yet at hand." "Marching and Fighting," a well known song, was sung and collection taken up. After an address by Mrs. A. Brown, lady president of the civilisation, the president gave his closing remarks and brought the meeting to a close with the singing of the National Anthem. DAVID FANCEY. Reporter.

Good is sure to come out of the sufferings of our leader. With proper advertising big crowds have been attracted to Liberty Hall and mass meetings on the streets were well attended. Nowadays one can always depend on getting a large and attentive audience, wherever the African tricolor is planted and the principles of the U. N. I. A. intelligently expounded. The detention of Marcus Garvey in jail is doing the organization no harm, and the fatuous folly the white man displays in thinking he can destroy the U. N. I. A. by jailing its leader is laughable. On the Sunday, June 12, the opening day of Release Week, a big mass meeting at West Parade presided over by Mr. Charles D. Johnson, the acting president of the division, signalized the beginning of a strenuous time for the officers who were determined that much more would be heard and known of Garveyism and the U. N. I. A. before the week was over. And at the meeting later at Liberty Hall another big crowd of earnest Garveyites were comfortably accommodated and gave fresh inspiration to those who conducted the meeting. The speeches were of a high order and among those who took prominent parts were Mesars.

THE MEDICAL HOSPITAL OF MIDDLE SCHOOLS Foundation Spent $9,741,474 to Aid Fourteen Medical Schools in Ten Different Countries Helped — Home Service Great The sum of $9,741,474 was spent in 1906 to promote health by the Rockefeller Foundation, it was stated in the first installment of the annual report of Dr. George E. Vincent., president of the organization, which was made public recently. The report shows that the foundation contributed funds to aid the growth of fourteen medical schools in ten different countries and gave funds to organized rural health service organizations in 244 counties of the United States and in thirty-four distri- cies in twelve other countries. In addition the foundation provided 192 fellowships for men and women from forty-eight countries of the world and also paid the traveling expenses of fifty-nine officials or professors making study visits, either as individuals or in commissions. The foundation also maintained a modern teaching hospital in China—the Pekin Union Medical College in Pekin—and so organised the staff that in case all foreigners should have to evacuate the city the hospital would be left with a competent native Chinese staff. Studies of the yellow fever and hookworm were made by foundation members in Brazil, where they were added, according to the report, most notably by the Brazilian Government; medical centers, schools, laboratories and nurse training schools were established in Strasbourg, Paris, Lyons and other French cities, and members of the organization demonstrated methods of controlling malaria in nine North American States and in Porto Rica, Nicaragua, Salvador, Argentina, Brazil, Italy, Spain, Poland, Palestine and the Phillipine Islands. Whisky for Medicine Up to Congress Prohibition officials in Washington have started upon a canvass of whiskey stacks in the United States and a survey of medicinal requirements. An apparent sharp drop in the demand for medicinal supply has brought reconsideration of the treasury policy which provided for the opening of one or two distilleries, at least during the present year. It was learned officially today that a "treasury decision" embodying regulations for the distillation of a new medical supply which would be aged and ready for consumption six years hence has been scrapped. Lack of demand is given as the reason. Behind this decision, however, in the desire to have Congress explicitly provide for further manufacture. Legislation was asked in the last Congress, but it was lost in the jam, resulting from the filibuster in the closing days of the Senate session. Though accurate figures were not available it was estimated that stocks had dwindled to 12,000,000 gallons in storage, and consumption was estimated at 2,000,000 gallons a year. Since then, however, the number of prescriptions has decreased. It is now estimated that stocks will carry for six or seven years longer and Congress will be asked again to provide means of manufacture, preferably through a central distilling organization which will be under close government supervision and control. Chickens Start Gold Rush In the Philippines MANILA.—Another primitive people of the Philippines, the Tirural tribe, is to "benefit" from development of gold mining in its ballillock by Americans Chickens are to blame. A Tirural thinking to buy himself a Christian pair of pants, took a dozen chickens down to Cotabato. An American bought them, and now the jig is up. Nine of the chickens showed "color" in their gizzards—they had been grinding their food on gold nuggets in preference to ordinary gravel as the media of digestion. This set speculation as to possible wealth by the ears. New expeditions are being fitted out in Cotabato to go placer mining in the western hills. And the tale will be told to the desolate Tirurals. There, century upon century, they have been living in untroubled isolation from a grasping world. So it would be yet, save for a young buck after a pair of breeches. Claims will be taken right and left. Instead of taking things easy the desperate Tirural will work. As the American believes, he, the Tirural, will progress. There will be wagons, tama, policemen, lawyers and judges—and pants and shirts all around. It is the catalyst of a race.

Martin, Director General of the American College of Surgeons Chicago, told the Hospital Clinical Congress here last night. Other dangerous ages he declared were childhood and the period between twenty and thirty. But after forty, Dr. Martin said, one in five succumb to cancer, one in six to kidney disease and one in six to heart disease. He emphasised the importance of realizing that these diseases are preventable and that it is essential that every individual after the age of forty consult his family physician at frequent intervals, not less than once a year, insisting upon a thorough examination. The examinations, he declared, would reveal the early signs of these diseases that will cause the death within ten years of at least fifty percent of our middle aged people, and enable the physician not only to prolong life of the individual but to enable him to enjoy it through improved health. Dr. Martin would prescribe no specific preventive in an interview today, other than moderate eating, moderate smoking, regular but moderate exercise and increased periods of rest—plus the examinations. Woman, 70, Listed As First-Class Soldier Paris, June 4.—A frail little woman of 70 is godmother of the French army. Upon her, too, has just been beaten the Legion of Honor. She and her aged husband, Alfred Sautet, run a notion shop in Paris. During the war, 1,000 packages containing soap, cigarettes, chocolate and needles and thread went out of it each week to soldiers of the French front. Every package was paid for by the Sautets or, when their funds were gone, by money they raised. Now, hent but smiling, they sell buttons and hooks and eyes for a living, just as they did when they were getting a start. But Mme. Sautet wears the ribbons of the Order of Elizabeth of Belgium and the Committee of French Gratitude. The couple are the only "first class soldiers" registered in the French army. The title of "godmother" was officially bestowed by the colonel of the famous 152d Infantry Regiment at Colmar, Alsace, when Mme. Sautet was decorated with the insignia of the "fourragere" of the regiment. She numbers cabinet ministers and generals among her friends and the Queen of the Belgians writes occasionally to inquire about her health. Poultry Co-operatives Do $40,000,000 Yearly WASHINGTON.—American cooperative associations engaged in marketing poultry or eggs or both have a total membership exceeding 50,000 and do an annual business estimated at more than $40,000,000. Records of more than seventy such associations are filed in the United States Department of Agriculture. The first association of which records are available was organized in 1913. Fifty-five of the associations have been organized since 1920. Women Constitute 30 Per Cent. Of Constantinople Workers CONSTANTINOPLE—Women constitute 30 percent of the working class population in this city, according to a survey just made by the Turkish Women's Union of Stamboul. They equal 10 percent of bank employees and 30 percent of the tobacco factory workers. Wages for women are never more than two-thirds the wages given men for equal work. Shop girls receive the equivalent of $25 a month, clerks about $40 and the thirty-five women Government employees of the postoffice only $6.50 a month. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1987 Aimest Half That Number in New York, Tax Returns Show Are You in the Million Dolar Class? From the New York Sun WASHINGTON, June 27.—The million-dollar-a-year men are coming back. There was even one more of them paying tax on his income for 1925 than in the record-breaking year of 1916, when 206 Americans were recorded whose incomes were more than $1,000,000. In 1924 there were only seventy-five in all the country. New York leads all the States with nearly half the incomes of more than a million, having ninety-six out of the 207. The group whose incomes ran up past $5,000,000 each for 1925 is still an exclusive one, there having been only seven in 1925. New York and Michigan each furnishing two and Pennsylvania. Illinois and Oklahoma one each. The Oklahoma member of this inner circle could be none other than extraordinary Lew H. Wentz, who has made a pile of imposing magnitude since he struck oil. It has been only a few years since all he had was his salary as a coach of high school athletics in Pittsburgh. Now he belongs in the Rockefeller-Ford-Mellon set. Aided Poor in South Wentz it was who laid down two millions for distressed cotton farmers and asked no security. He built an orphan anylum and has given liberally to charity, until it has come to be a saying in Oklahoma-that his gifts to charity run a thousand a day. The Treasury Department's "statistics of income" does not mention Mr. Wentz's name, nor the name of any other taxpayer. With no later information available than for the year 1924, when income tax returns were published, it is generally supposed that the seven with incomes of more than $5,000,000 each were besides Wentz, John D. Rockefeller, Secretary Andrew W. Mellon, Henry Ford, his son, Edsel, and the Marshall Field heirs in Chicago. The states furnishing the 207 with incomes of more than a million each in 1925 did not exceed seventeen. After New York, there is a long drop to Pennsylvania, with twenty-eight; Illinois and Massachusetts following with sixteen each. Michigan had thirteen. Ohio eight, California six, New Jersey five, Missouri four, Florida three, while Connecticut, Indiana, Maryland and Oklahoma had two each, and Iowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin had one each. Drop in Returns Because of the increased exemptions, there was a great drooping off in the number of returns, yet, although this number decreased 43.4 per cent the government actually collected 4.3 per cent more taxes. The total tax collection was $735,555,162, an increase of $30,250,793. This increase of exemptions likewise confined the percentage of the country's population paying income tax to 3.6 per cent, as compared with 6.56 in 1924. The total net income of the country's 4,171,051 taxpayers was $21,594,576,403 in 1925. The average net income was $5,249, with an average tax of 9.35 per cent, as compared with $3,451 in 1924 and an average tax of 2.74 per cent. New York naturally paid the greatest tax, her share being $252,157,554, on a taxable income of $4,109,163,881. With a tax payment of $73,364,345, Pennsylvania came second, with Illinois, Massachusetts and Michigan following in the order named. There was a substantial increase in the corporation tax yield, this being $288,781,660 more in 1925 than in 1924. There were 15,945 more corporations reporting than in 1924. (Continued from page 7) Sunday, June 26, the meeting came to order, with the usual performances of the Uniformed Ranks. Rev. A. G.

The meeting closed with the singing of "Blessed Be the Tie." The Sunday night meeting opened in its usual form. The opening ode was sung, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains." The chaplain, Rev. A. G.

Sunday, June 12, was the beginning of "Garvey Release Week" in the Boston Division of the U. N. I. A. Mr. Wm. Monroe, first vice-president, presided. The meeting opened by singing "From Greenland's Ice Mountains." The religious exercises were led by our chaplain, Rev. Reeves. The president-general's hymn and the national anthem were sung.

If we only fight together and stick together, we shall have a country of our own. A selection by the Juvenile choir, under the leadership of the first lady, Vice-President Mrs. A. Lewis. A vocal solo by Mr. Eris was followed by a few remarks by the ex-secretary, Mr. W. Prendergast. Our chaplain, Rev. Reeves, was the principal speaker; subject, "The Challenge to the Christian spirit of white America." He urged us to be loyal to our race. Our president, Mr. William Buchanan, gave an interesting talk. MRS. EDNA MEDLEY, Reporter. Wyatt Division held its regular mass meeting on Sunday, May 29.

Sunday night, June 5, a very enjoyable evening was spent by the members and friends of Colon Division No. 877, in celebrating Garvey Day. The chair was occupied by the president. Mr. E. L. Moulton. The meeting started at 8:20 p.m. The religious service was conducted by Mr. B. Serjeant, chaplain of the division, reading lesson Psalms 91; the 23d Psalm was repeated by the audience in-behalf of the president-general. Text taken Broadway Auto School SPECIAL $10 COURSE INCLUDING 15 DRIVING AND 15 SHOP LESSONS SPECIAL FOR SUMMER AND FALL We Are in Our New Quarters 217 WEST 123rd STREET MORNING/SIDE 6804 Charles D. Johnson, the acting president, whose address was worthy of the great occasion, and who has the gift of infusing life and vim into the most indifferent crowd; Clifford Erlington, second vice-president; Philip Mitchell, trustee; who got the approval of the meeting when he declared that though Marcus Garvey was jailed for defrauding Negroes there wasn't a Negro of the U. N. I. A. who would not be ready to be defrauded by Garvey again and again in the same way. He made the walls of the hall shake with applause when he asked how long were we going to allow ourselves to be defrauded by these white men who escape the jail so easy after doing it? The acting executive secretary, H. B. Green, U. Le Grant, and the lady president did their share to make this meeting worthy of the traditions of our Kingston Liberty Hall. The choir was equal to the occasion also, and the solos and anthems rendered were of a high order. Special mention must be made of Miss Lurline Howle, the Liberty Hall nightingale, as she is popularly called. There is no doubt about it that Garvey is not suffering in vain and this division at least will show him some "improvement" that will solace and comfort him in a great measure for what he has endured in captivity, when he shall be at liberty to come to Jamaica—his native land! There were many meetings held also at several well-known stands in the city every day of the week, and so enthused have the officers become that these meetings have been continued well into the week ending June 26. The closing day, Sunday, June 19, produced another big gathering at Liberty Hall and all who participated gave a good account of themselves. Prayers were again earnestly and eloquently offered for the speedy release of Mr. Garvey, but many hearts are still saddened at his protracted confinement. After the acting president and several officers had delivered themselves of well-thought-out, appropriate and very patriotic speeches, the acting ex-secretary made one of his fighting speeches, the subject of which was "The Tiger" and captivated the meeting when he suggested that we adopt "The Tiger" as the national emblem of our strength and power when we shall have come into our kingdom—Africa, and thereby perpetuate the memory of "The Tiger" now jailed, but who will never be tamed nor cowed into a condition of cowardice by his white jailers. A feature of the week's work was the arresting pointers written up on the notice board on King street. Some notables one were: "Know ye that—it is Marcus Garvey who freed us—not those who enslaved us—let's release HIM." "This is Liberty Hall, the pillar and the ground of Garveyslim-Garvey's U. N. L. A." "Africa for the Africans is briefly Garveyism." "Blanc" or Black—who made the existence of the U. N. L. A., a "fearful" necessity? WHO? "Why do we continue to support those who persist in keeping us down!" This was the work of the acting secretary, and he was well praised at many meetings for his bold attempts to set the minds of members working. He is one of those who believes that a thinking man is the greatest enemy of the devil—white or black! ARNOLD J. LECESNE. Reporter. KANSAS CITY. KAN. The Kansas City, Kan., Division held its regular mass meeting Sunday, June 26, opening at the usual hour, 3:30 p.m. The religious exercises were conducted by the second vice-president, Mr. Wm. Allen, who made the opening address. The next speaker was Mr. B. J. Moore, who delivered a short but inspiring address. The congregation sang "Shine on Eternal Light." which was led by the president. Mrs. G. Foster was then called upon for a short talk, which was to the point and fully in its place. She pleaded with the women to hold fast to the program of the U. N. I. A. as the work of the women is most needed. Last but not least our honorable president, Mr. N. A. McCatty was called, who spoke on the subject, "Slothfulness and Idleness." The audience received much logic and truth as well as enthusiasm from his address. The meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the national anthem. CLEVELAND, OHIO LOUISE EDWARDS, Reporter.

Where behind, in other cases inquiries will be EYES OF YOUTH Eyes that sparkle, eyes that reflect youth, that enhance facial beauty—these in many, many cases are the result of intell- gent care. For straining the eyes unduly makes them look lifeless, dull, uninter- esting. Don't ever rub your eyes with your hand. When your eyes burn or feel irritated use a soothing wash—such as a solution of botryacid. Obtain it at a good drug store. Mix one teaspoonful of the mil- acid with a pint of warm water, then bathe your eyes at regular intervals. The right care makes the eyes sparkle, words off the tiny wrinkles which appear at the eye corners, and adds to natural facial beauty. BEACHFELT FINGER NAILS Badly kept nails attract unfavorable attention. We always watch something that moves, so ever-active hands should be beautiful and tipped with the newly kept nails. Wash your hands with a newly yet effective soap. (Golden Brown Soap is especially good for the hands.) Push back the cuticle at the base of the nail with a hoof bit of wood. Brows a nail with a steel file, and shine them with a chamois skin. Next sprinkle the palms with a mildly spotted talcum-Golden Brown is so prepared that it absorbs perspiration and keeps the nails dry and always. Ask your druggist about Golden Brown.

PIGUERGA, Editor Nuestro contacto con el resto de la humanidad—Progreso y gloria de las razas predominates—Honremos nuestra procedencia lagando mayor estimulo a nuestra generación—El continente africano unico sitio para el enaltocimiento de la raza Por centenares de años nos hemos mezclado con el resto de la humanidad y a la hora presente todas las razas estan haciendo alarde de sus progresos individuales y colectivos, los progresos de los tiempo modernos. La raza a la cual pertenecemos tiene de por fuerza que tomar la posición mas ventajosa para su propia defensa, por la falta de sinceridad y de bien que nos presta el mundo entero. Entre los grandes acontecimientos de esta época moderna tanto el hombre blanco como elamarillo, pueden vanagloriarse de la vasta construcción de sus imperios y dominios. Tanto el uno como el otro pueden enseñarnos su poderio en mar y tierra; su posición en los asuntos de la presente era esta ampliamente definida, de aquí que estas dos razas tengan una seguridad determinada y puedan gobernar el mundo con orgullo y plena satisfacción de sí mismo. La hora de demostrar nuestra altivez ha llegado; se escucha la llamada augusta para que todos los elementos de la raza formen un solo frente y se mantengan dignos erectos y firmes, demandando un reconocimiento de decoro para todos los pigmentados. Si nos presentamos débiles y sin preparación, nuestro plan de combate será nulo, y por grandiosa que sea la teoria que lo inspire, cuando logremos el punto práctico, lo real, lo efectivo de la lucha será contraproducente, al medio y circunstancias impuestas por esta época de acometividad y nervio, para abordar lo trascendental y máximo del problema de nuestra independencia y de nuestra liberación. Si nos presentamos sumisos seguiremos siendo humillados; y lo sagrado de la causa de nuestra libertad, será sumergido en el profundo mar de las decepciones. Colaboremos al magno movimiento en que esta empeñada nuestra organización, y en unión perfecta velar por nuestros propios intereses, legando a nuestros hijos mas honor, mas personalidad, mas respeto para si, para que puedan llevar con orgullo el título de verdaderos hombres y no de meros esclavos. Que no haya división de color en nuestras filas; fijémosno todos que el punto capital porque se nos aveja y maltrata es porque somos negros. Por lo tanto, sin accidentes de colores, seamos con orgullo miembros de una sola raza. El hombre oscuro de piel ha sido despiadadamente maltratado por siglos; pero si el hiciera mayor esfuerzo y se leventara a la altura de la ocación actual, podria hallarse en magnificas condiciones y con orgullo llamarse a si mismo un factor importante en la gran suma de los acontecimiento humanos. La gran Etiopía extiende sus manos llamando a sus hijos todos. No permitamos que nuestros hijos e hijas se desorienten; que respondan todos a la llamanda porque la raza tiene que triunfar, tan pronto levantemos el contingente poderoso de esos cuatrocientos, millones, fuerza mas que pujante para imponer nuestra justicia, nuestro honor y nuestra dignidad tan sometida y ultrajada por las que se titulan razas superiores. Por lo que al negro respecta, no debe existir limitación de tiempo y lugar. Los cuatro puntos cardinales son meramente limitaciones geográficas, convencionalmente aplicadas en un orden científico en beneficio de las razas dominantes. El hombre de color debe pasar por encima de estos convencionalismos e ir unido a la consecución de sus derechos inculcados. Levantáos pues, hermanos de la raza, y haced que vuestro poder industrial y comercial conquiste le porción de mundo que os pertenece. El inmenso continente africano, según lo han planeado las otras razas, vendrá a ser el mercado de explotación; será la tierra inhospitable de las otras razas, mientras Europa este en manos del hombre blanco y Azia sea controlada por el hombre amarillo. Inconcienteamente el hombre negro durmió por espacio de quinientos años, y por consigniente dio la impresión al avaro y envidioso mundo, que todos eran bienvenidos a la madre patria de nuestros antépasados. Puro hoy día el migro desta despierte y may alerta. Africa suministra cuarenta millones de esclavos al mundo occidental; Africa sangra para que otros puedan vivir. Pero en la actualidad esta Africa despuse de la harida infligidas, se ha repuesto de su afflicción y en pleno vigor sus hombres y sus mujeres esten en la defensa de los guantes de un mundo leco por expansion y poderio. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1987 Por T. THOMAS FORTUNE Radiator del Negro World Algun tiempo ha sugeri la enseñanza del idioma español en los centros docentes de nuestra raza y por carnea de tres meses se discutió generalmente sobre esta sugestión más, pero finalmente se calmaron los animos como suele suceder con las cuestiones de interes vital, amparándose en la actitud crónica griega "Veré mas tarde sobre el particular" para luego hecharlo enteramente al olvido. Esta manera de pensar es enteramente errónea. Se ha dicho que la costumbre de posponer roba tiempo así como también destruye oportunidades. Lo que vale la pama hacer debe ser hecho en el momento psicológico; un poco mas tarde no sería conveniente o posible realizarlo. Mi sugestión es tan servicial hoy dia como lo fuera hace cuarenta años; tal vez mayor aun. El espafol es uno de los idiomas que figuran en primera fila. La gente de habla espafola ocupa un radio de cinco millones de millas cuadradas y asciende a cerca de cien millones de personas. En el hemisferio occidental, con excepción de Estados Unidos, Canada, las demás posiciones europeas y Brazil, su población habla espafol. Méjico, Argentina y Chile adelantan considerablemente con su enorme territorio y sus inestimables productos. La población española es regularmente una mescala de espalda, indio y negro, y el prejuicio racial no se manifiesta como acontece en los Estatos Unidos y en Canada. El negro en la America latina goza de mayor libertad en la administración de su gobierno, en su trabajo que en la America sajona. Muy poco escuchamos en contra del status del hispano-americano, porque este está considerada por su nacionalidad y no por su raza o color. Como por ejemplo: Un comisionista norteamericano se hallaba viajando por Buenos Aires. Llevaba una carta de recomendación para uno de los principales comerciales de aquel país Cuando el entró en la hijosa oficina privada guiado por uno de los oficinistas, se encontró con un negro a quien confundió con un portero Entablo conversación con este la cual culminó en una acalorada discusión sobre la libertad de que disfruta el negro, manifestando el norteamericano sin ningun escripulo que ello no seria tolerado en su país. Cuando el comerciante se canso de la discusión, habiendo perturbado un tanto el prejudicio del norteamericano, volvió de nuevo a su trabajo en la oficina. El norteamericano esperó un rato y empezado a impacientarse, preguntó bruscamente cuando llegaria el jefe. Este le preguntó si tenía alguna cita con el ló que cual contesto que no, pero que tenia una carta de recomendación. El comerciante le pidió la carta y luego de haberle leido le dijo: "Yo soy el jefe aqui." El americano se sorprendió de tal manera que por un momento no pudo articular palabra. En vista de ello el comerciante, para sacarle de aquel embarazo, manifesto muy politicamente al comercio que no estaba interesado en la mercancia que representaba. Esta experiencia fue muy provechosa para el norteamericano en cuanto a su negcio concernia, absteniéndose en lo sucesivo de criticar el status del negro en aquellas regiones. El prejuicio racial es siempre un germen peligroso y en muchas ocasiones prejudicial. La ciudad de Nueva York cuenta con un gran grupo de negros de habla española. Este disfruta de libertad y oportunidades excepcionales en lo que respecta a ocupación como tenedor de libros, taquigrafo y otros trabajos de oficina; muchos de ellos son gerentes de grandes casas importadoras. El negro de habla española en la ciudad de Nueva York es un elemento interesante y de gran utilidad. Le es más facil CAPETOWN, Union of South Africa, June 24.—South Africa will soon have an opportunity to vote on the question of a new flag of composite design. As proposed the flag would have the Union Jack in the upper left corner, the Orange Free State Vierkleur in the upper right corner, the Trunewal Vierkleur in the lower left corner, four states, representing the four provinces in the lower right corner, white in the center would be a shield with broad white, orange and blue stripes. The referendum is to be held as a consequence of the passage by the Union Assembly last night of the third reading of the national flag bill by a vote of 60 to 50 after one of the most bitter struggles in the history of the assembly. The bill was introduced last session, withdrawn, reintroduced this season, withdrawn to a select committee and finally held before the assembly several days ago considerably altered from its original state. que al negro americano el desuvolverse, por su conocimiento del idioma español; el de su muy social y congenia con el negro nativo a quien encesa muchas cosas que este ignora. Mayor número de negros deblera aprender el idioma español, por los multiples beneficios que so conocimiento redunda. Hay muchos medios de aprenderlo toda vez que exista la disposición de hacerlo, empleando el preciso tiempo invertido en otras cosas menos utiles. Perfeccionando la aviación Pasajeros que trasbordan en el aire, pilotos que se relevan unos a otros a una altura de mil pies, aviones que cargan sacas de correo a gran altura de los campos de aterrizaje; todos estos sucesos pueden llevarse a cabo si el aeroplano inventado por el ingeniero aleman Engelbert Zaschka responde favorablemente a las pruebas. Su aparato, el primer helicoptero que ha trabajado con exito en miniatura, no solo se levanta y desciende verticalmente, sino que puede mantenerse en el aire estacionario a cualquier altura. Los expertos alemanes de aviación dioen que el vuelo realizado por el coronel Charles A. Lindbergh en su vuelo de New York-Paris no sera gran cosa comparado con las hazafinas del avión de Zaschka tan pronto esté perfeccionado, debido a su estabilidad en el aire. El helicóptero de Zaschka puede aprovisionarse de combustible de otro helicóptero estacionado a lo largo del trayectoro. Se predice que con una de estas máquinas se levara a cabo, el próximo gran acontecimiento de aviación: es decir, el vuelo alrededor del mundo sin paradas. En el plano Zaschka el piloto puede elevarse desde cualquier estación que seca lo suficientemente grande para acomodar el aparato y descender en el mismo terreno; no sera necesario los campos de aterrizaje con una gran parte del terreno despejado para que los aviones puedan tonar el vuelo, como se hace actualmente, y por primera vez se podra ver ralizado el sueño de que los aviones aterricen en los tejados de las casas. Zaschka tiene perfeco conocimiento de que su invención será uno de los más grandes pasos en la aviación, desde que los hermanos Wright hicieron su famoso vuelo. Y según indica, los peligros de la aviación disminuiran un ochenta por ciento cuando menos, pues las cuatro quintas partes de los accidentes ocurren al comenzar el vuelo o al aterrizar, y proveyendo su helicoptero con paracadaides harán los vuelos un ciento por ciento seguros. El principio de la maquina de Zaschka es la conocida helic vertical de cuatro hojas, que ocupa el lugar de las alas; el fuselage del aparato es igual al de un aeroplano corriente. Una helice. horizontal lo hace caminar hacia adelante, y uno de los inventos de Zaschika consiste en la aplicación de una aparato que parece un regulador de una maquina de vapor, que automaticamente mantiene al plano en perfecto balance y al mismo tiempo guarda energia para la rotación de la helice vertical después que el motor se ha parado. Sree cree por el uso de este regulador el avión puede aterrizar sin peligro y sin los choques de un aeroplano ordinario. En la maquina experimental de Zaschika se ha colocado un motor de treinta a cuarenta caballos, y esta tan perfectamente arreglado que pudo mantener el aparato a varios pies de altura sin movimiento de subida o baja. Según los calculos de Zaschka, su plano será mucho más económicamente provisto de combustible que un aeroplano ordinario, y aunque por el momento es mucho más lento que los actuales aviones, se cree que su helicoptero sobrepasará en velocidad a todos los existentes. Will Seek Parent Race in Africa BOSTON, June 26.—Dr. Arthur Torrence, explorer and scientist, fellow of the Royal Society of England, who is in Boston for a brief visit, told something today of his plans for an expedition to Africa next fall in search of the parent race of humanism. A secondary object will be a study of possible methods of eliminating sleeping sickness by extermination of the tsetse fly. The expedition, which is expected to start from Boston about Sept. 20, is the sequel to Dr. Torrence's discoveries of strongly forged natives in his six month's exploration of African jungles in 1924 and 1925. The region which he will revisit is in the vicinity of Loko Chad in Northern Nigeria. Dr. Torrence, who is an American and a graduate of New York University, plans to assemble a party of five scientists and three big game hunters. There are several countries of which no cones has ever been taken. They are Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Indo-Chinese peninsula, half of Africa, parts of South America and most of China. Magazine Section JUAN SACASA, HEAD OF THE LIBERAL GOVERNMENT OF NICARAGUA, GIVES A PARTING MESSAGE TO HIS FOLLOWERS ON THE OCCASION OF HIS PARTY'S RETIREMENT FROM ARMED REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVITIES (Translated from the Spanish language newspaper "La Presa" of New York by Ernest E. Meir.) There soon developed, as was natural, the necessity of finding new pretexts, and so as fast as necessary demanded, there were propagated in Washington and Managua such fantastic species as the Canger to the rights acquired by the United States to build a canal through Nicaragua, and that of Bolshevik propaganda, which my government was supposed to serve in joint action with that of Mexico. And what most astonishes and densis is, that some of these myths, so distant from reality as not to serve for even a moment to hide what actually lay behind them, were incorporated in a special message on Nicaraguan affairs and sent to the Congress of his country by the President of the United States, Mr. Calvin Coolidge. In the presence of the acts of war which I have here related, executed against my government by one of the largest powers of the world, our populace, our army and myself took upon ourselves the determination to continue in defense of those rights which Nicaragua held as a sovereign entity and of our own rights to tranquility and the exercise of citizenship as long as these manifestations of force did not become too powerful for us to oppose. But they did become too powerful. Each man, each woman, each child, gave to this patriotic enterprise all that they possessed, and what was more valuable, the immense treasure of their sentiments—those sentiments which enabled them to defy with serenity, minery, torment and even death. A black hatred then descended upon those who thus defended the liberty of Nicaragua. The jails were filled with citizens. Proscription was rife, not to mention torment and even murder. Families were dispersed. Homes were broken up. Bombs were dropped without previous notice on non-combatants, killing women, children and defenseless old people. These barbarous proceedings reached there culmination in the battle which took place in our loved and prosperous City of Chinandega, which city was reduced to what was practically a heap of cinders, and whose ruin falls with bitterness the hearts of all good Nicaraguan guards. But, in spite, of all this horror, there continued serene and unabated the desire for liberty, which led our people and the legitimate forces along the road to victory and liberation. When this army which the naval forces of the United States impeded in its march toward the interior, denying them the use of the ordinary routes, thus obliging them to cross the mountains by unexplored routes; when this army which the warships of the United States forced to march without rations, almost without clothing, and even without Red Cross appliances, presented itself triumphant at the gates of the capital after winning numerous battles in which thousands of men lost their lives, the regular forces of the United States barred them the way in the narrow pass between the lakes, opened an active campaign against them and enascalated their effectiveness by disarming them. You already know what subsequently happened. Colonel Henry L.

SALTUS Advertising Dept. Phone Morningside 2617 142 West 130th Street NEW YORK CITY a delegation with the object of discussing "the means most adequate of solving peacefully the actual conflict, and ensuring a stable peace for the future." Anxious as always I have been to secure peace for my country on the basis of equity and honor (which are the only ones that can make peace effective and stable), I made hawk to appoint the delegation, reiterating my proposal of renouncing my constitutional rights in favor of a solution such as that indicated in the conference held at Tipiapia on the 4th of May last, at which General Jose-Maria Moncada, Minister of War in my government, took part. At that time Mr. Stinson, in the capacity already outlined, and accompanied by Admiral Latimer—and United States Minister Eberhardt informed my delegates and General Moncada that the Continuation of Don Adolio Diaz in power would be the essential base of any understanding arrived at to put an end to our conflict, constituting, as they claimed it, a question of honor and prestige for the American government. They were authorized to offer us the most ample participation in the government of Senor Diaz if we would recognise him as president, adding that in case we receded from that proposal the American forces under command of Admiral Latimer would proceed to disarm our soldiers. This was immediately confirmed in a letter sent to General Moncada, the text of which you already know. My representatives, as well as General Moncada, without considering the offers made, refused, as was only logical, the possibility of accepting them: protecting both by the written and spoken word against this new and more violent assault upon a weak people who had not offended in any form the great American nation, nor its government, and who had only defended its unquestionable right to political perseverity. My representatives, their mission cancelled, returned to this port, and General Moncada, incommunicado as he was with me, before the unrestable power of the United States, and in accord with the majority of our chiefs, resolved to lay down arms. This to evitate what he considered "a sad and useless sacrifice." I am sure that these chiefs would have preferred death to seeing themselves obliged to face such a terrible alternative which certainly has carried to their hearts the greatest torment of their lives. If they did not dare to make this last sacrifice it was because they judged with good faith that the blood of the Nicaraguan would continue to water the soil without producing fruits of well-being for country, as happened in the year of 1912. The conduct of these men who have fought with such heroism, and with self-abnegating disinterest should be judged without acrimony, without vain feelings of fretful regret appreciating the cruel necessity that inspired their action. There has been no peace arranged. My government has not given either its approval or consent to any understanding with Senor Diaz.

From the New York Sun When members of the Mip Sing Tong (Melp-Bach-Other Society) and the On Leong Tong (Protection Society) are not at war with each other the little district known as Chinmau, west of where the Bowery begins, in as quiet as any other place in the city. In recent years, when teng wars have been renewed, the revolver has been used instead of the slung shot and the hatchset, formerly the chief weapons. The founder of the Chinese colony was not a laundryman, but a cigar dealer—Ah Ken—who arrived in New York in 1888 and settled in Mott street. He had a stand on Park Row. Hundreds of sightseers go to Chinatown each night, but most of them leave without having seen the whole show. Such things as the optum joint and the gambling丹, with its fan tann game and lottery, never are uncovered for the benefit of strangers. But the joss houses, where one bears prayers for good luck, ac.; the theaters, where Chinese are the only actors, and the chop aue restaurants are places which the sightseeer never misses seeing. A curious sight in Chinatown in a funeral procession. Sitting on the hearse is a man who throws showers of paper on which prayers are printed. It is believed by the Chinese that these papers, dancing in the wind, will so confuse the devils that they will forget all the tricks of their trade and lose the chance of signing up a new member. Meantime a priest does his best to drive off the devils who are chasing the corpse. Another interesting part of the funeral is the burial. At the grave there is left for the entertainment of the dead a sumptuous meal consisting of roast pig, chicken, rice and other food. Red wax is used to seal the corners of the grave—another measure to keep out the devils. Whole Chinese Village Commits Suicide SYRACUSE, N. Y., June 30—The story of how the inhabitants of a whole Chinese village committed suicide by drowning sooner than face the uncertainties of a future of misery, was told here tonight by Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, in a speech before the New York Christian Endeavor Conference. Polating out how the spirit of human brotherhood had increased in the western world to the point that relief of the distressed was regarded as an obvious duty, he added: "I was told recently of a case where the inhabitants of a village in China were impoverished by a raid of bandits to such an extent that they saw no means of maintaining their food supply. They held a consultation as to what should be done, and after due consideration they all decided to commit suicide, which was done by marching down into the river and drowning. "It did not occur to them that any one would come to their aid or be under obligation to do so." He contrasted with this the immediate, spontaneous relief extended to Mississippi flood victims and other American emergencies as showing the feeling of human brotherhood engendered by Christian teaching.
