The Negro World

Negro World A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XXII. No. 24 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1927 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN ORIGINAL NEW YORK TEN CENTS IN LARGE EDITION "Africa for the Africans" No Longer Invites Ridicule---Negroes Now Take Pride in the Desire to Possess the Homeland "Africa for the Africans, at home and abroad!" The Negro "Battle Cry of Freedom," well known to every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. A slogan born in the mind of the greatest Negro the race has produced, which has so inspired millions of Negroes all over the earth that within a decade the whole outlook of a race has changed. Pioneer members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association need to feel proud of the fact that they had the foresight and strength of character to step out from the mob and grasp the hand of Marcus Garvey. Thousands there are who joined the organization in its earlier years and who have held on through thick and thin, in spite of everything the enemy has done to discourage. These are the trail-blazers of Negro Nationalism. "Africa for the Africans!" A novel thought, once upon a time. But not now. A thought once ridiculed. But not now. A thought which has become so real that it is the daily food of millions of black men and a menace to millions of white men. And the Universal Negro Improvement Association has had the honor of planting and nourishing this seed which eventually will prove to be the salvation of the most oppressed race in the history of the world. Africa, beloved of the black man, is on the lips of the world today. There are those who would try to make you believe that the black man who longs to possess it is a fool. But who thinks that the white man who is trying to grab the last foot of its rich territory is a fool? There are those who would say that to acquire it is impossible. But those are either the faint-hearted Negroes to whom history is no inspiration, or wily white men who would throw dust in the black man's eyes so as to keep him forever in subjection. But the wide-awake; progressive Negro will never be fooled again by either of these enemies of Negro freedom. The time has passed when members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association need to feel that they are being ridiculed when those who have become saturated with the white man's outlook, call the followers of Marcus Garvey "Back-to-Africa" folks. Who wouldn't want to go back to the richest country on the face of the earth? Those who want to stay where they are planted can do so. But how can any sane Negro believe that it is ridiculous to want to possess the land that God has given him and where millions of his people reside? Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should feel encouraged by the remarkable spread of Garveyism since the imprisonment of the Honorable Marcus Garvey. Thousands are preaching "Garveyism" and calling it something else. Negroes everywhere have become inspired to be something besides the faithful watch-dogs of their white masters. African Negroes are waking from centuries of slumber and are reaching hands across the sea to their black brothers, asking for aid in their struggle to come from beneath the iron rod of oppression. And Negroes across the sea are hearing that cry and are preparing to lend that aid. Each year brings with it its new crop of converts to the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. And in proportion to the growth of this great organization will the Negro hasten the founding of a Negro nation and the possession of "Africa for the Africans."—The Editors. - 4 a cit TRADE WITH U.S. ‘gente trom Wigeria and Gold Coast Out te Sell Agricultural Products te U. $. and Buy American Merchandies in Turn Co-operative societies are being er- gantond in Nigeria and the Gold Coast, with the unqualified support of native relers, to sell large quantities of agri- eaitural products to this country and, fa turn, buy American merckandies, esording to W.

L. Mencken is the stormy petrel of American journalism. He is a man apart, and being so, he is roundly rated and hated by thou: sands. But what he has to say commands the attention of mil. licas. Only one other man ia his line compares with him—Hey. wood Broun. But both are iconoclasts. And it is amazing that from neither, in spite of the millions of words that each pens per year, has come any comprehensive statement about the Negro Question. It is, therefore, with great pleasure that The Negro World here- with reproduces an article written by Mencken about the Negro. It is our sincere hope that this is just a beginning and that in the near future both he and Hey wood Broun will consign to print some of the things they must feel anent the most perplexing question of the age. Most especially would we welcome a candid statement regarding the ‘man, Marcus Garvey, and his activities in behali of Negroes. For the present we would concentrate attention upon this para- graph of Mencken's, the last paragraph of an article from his pen published in The-New York World on Sunday, July 17: “Now the Negroes begin to pile up wealth, and their busines: barens become their principal leaders. It is, I think, a sign of gen- wine progress if only because it reduces the colored pastor to a minor place. He has led the race since the Civil War and he has made a dreadful botch of it. His influence today, though it is still declining, is still for the bad. Those Negroes who follow him remain ignorant and ridiculous: Nothing comes out of them save moans.” Seem nS gt ea ee Eee g aT Negre Has a Chance to Show World What Really Is in Hie By H. L, MENCKEN C Most of the educated Negroes of my acquaintance seem to be convinced that the social attentions now being lavished upon their race in New York represent only a transient fad, and that in a short time the colored Lica ‘will be out im the colé agam. I doubt it. The plain fact ts that New York— or, at all events, Manhattan—has got to be 80 coemopolitan a town that all ite old @octal distinctions and preju- dices are in decay ad can never be revived. There is no longer any formal society there in the usual American sense. Anyone who is presentable may go anywhere. Some of the current Afroamerican pets are highly present- able; others are surely not. The lat- ter, no Goubt, will soon return to the Harlem whence they came, but the former will survive, The New York of today, indeed. is far too worldty wise to accord much authority to caste artificialities. It long ago admitted and embraced the Jows, and eb far ax T have been able to observe, it suffers from no resrets. in all circles, high or low, the Jews who get in are among the most amus- ing people to be encountered. They lack altogether the dull conventionality of the ro-called Angio-Saxon. They do not take Hfe too seriously, and now that the old bars against them are down, they have ceased even to take themselves seriously. | Take Us or Leave Us The colored brethren, now that they Ko everywhere, add @ great deal to Its charm. They turn out, In the main, to be dignified, well-mannered and amus- ing fellows, and not at all overim- pressed by their now triumphs. Their! wives, in many cases, are very good| looking. Male and female, they seem to say, “Tak: us or leave us,” at the same time favoring one another with wise winks behind the dcor. My belief is that New York, having taken them in, will be very loath to lose them. True enough, those admitted constl- tute only a small minority of their race, But that fact ‘ts of no signif- cance, it will be time enough to in- vite Pullman porters,.colored preachers und witch doctors to dinner when white Turkish bath rubbers, orthodox rabbis and chiropractors are invited. The acceptance of the educated Negro soctally removes his last ground! for complaint against his fate In the Republic, and leaves him ‘exposed to the same criteria of judgment that ap- ply to everyone eles It will be inter- rating to see what he makes of him- elt, Bo far, St seems to me, his accom- -ishinents “have been very one | Even in those fields wherein his oppor- unities for years past have been pre- ‘isely equal’to the white man’s he hax lone little of polld’ value.

Even on the subject of their race's wrongs they do not write as well, taking one with an- other, as the white scrivenere who tackle the same subject.

So far he has not disclosed his lane for the future. After the failure of the Non-Co-operative Movement many people are hoping that Gandhi will confine his activities to attacking social evils, notably drinking, and oplum smoking. Already many Indian villages have gone “dry,” and even abolished the native fermented drinks, because of Gandhi's well-known dis- ‘approval of alcohol,” said Miss Muriel Leater, of the Children’s Home, to an Observer interviewer. Mise Lester has recently paid a visit of some weeks to Ganani. “But Gandhi, in his retirement, has already been at work on the begin- nings of a movement which he believes will be of the grcatest value to the national life of India. During the Non-Co-operative Mevement many highly educated Indians gave up valu- able government appointments to Sdentity themselves with it Gandht is now organising these Indians se leaders in a new movement known as the India Spinning Association, which now has three thousand members. The test of membership of this seeociation fe that each member shail do at least half an hour's spinning every day. “Gandhi delleves that in this hand- spinning @ great contribution can be made toward relieving the appalling poverty of India and recreating her decayed village community life.

"GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT" "ETHIOPIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM" FRED A. TOOTE Acting President-General No Legal or Moral Guilt—Revered by People Whom He Is Supposed to Have Defrauded—Not a Menace but a Benefactor to Society—Persecutors Feared the Awakening of Negroes Which He Brought About Two years of a five-year prison term have broken Marcus Garvey. The consensus of opinion is that unless he can be pardoned, the end is not far. Petitions far and wide are crowding President Coolidge in an effort to effect his release. Several factors should be considered in determining the advisability of this release. First, let us consider the gravity of the crime for which Garvey is imprisoned. The conviction was for using the mails with intent to defraud. The mails, postoffices and postreads are so essential to the welfare of the nation as a whole that it is the province of the federal government to adequately protect them. Hence they are of prime importance and should be zealously guarded. But we have not found that the particular instance of Garvey has been injurious to the public at large. The public is not susceptible to every attempted fraud, and often goes uninjured even though there is a literal or technical violation of the law. Assuming Garvey guilty of the crime charged, it is amazing how well he has maintained to a large degree the public confidence, particularly the confidence of those he is alleged to have defrauded. Certainly this should lessen the gravity of Garvey's particular breach of the law and rather point to the virtual absence of substantial damage. Much doubt has been cast upon Garvey's moral—if not legal—guilt. Garvey may never have intended to violate the law, and though ignorance of the law excuses no man, it may very well show with what attitude of mind the offense was committed. Garvey is a foreigner, and it is highly probable that he was not as firmly acquainted with American law as one bred and born in the United States. A highly developed sense of self-sufficiency no doubt cut off many lines of inquiry and made him rely solely on his own knowledge. This factor perhaps largely contributed to his radical step in acting as his own counsel. Yet, for this reason alone no moral turpitude should be added to Garvey's unorthodox ideas. Much of the agitation against Garvey leading to his conviction has been traceable to certain of the "Negro intelligentia" who vilify any individual who can command a greater following than their own. This group envies any person who has dared directly or indirectly to challenge their so-called "superior leadership." To undermine his success, it is well believed that the "intelligentia" circulated unfair and foul rumors on his character and integrity. If Garvey had been a poet, a short story writer or subservient to the so-called leadership of the literate, he would have been approved by his present adversaries, but he could not have built the organization which yet proclaims his leadership. The attempt to put his ideas on a working basis seems to have been a crime against the intelligentia, so they began to crusade against Garvey and Garveyism, first by trying unsuccessfully to have him deported, and secondly by engendering hostile sentiment. We have, then, many explanations which may easily point to a total absence of moral guilt and as many circumstances which should be effective in molligation of punishment for his technical legal guilt. Garvey's conduct in prison has been of the highest caliber. Often he has been commended by prison officials for his trustworthiness and sincerity. It is not likely that a man with these qualities is a bad man or a menace to society. He certainly was not a menace to American society, for in Black America he hastened the coming of a race pride and consciousness long past due to a people pathetically unaware of their possibilities. If Garvey aroused the irre of white America it must have been because they feared the awakened minds of American Negroes and the possibility of losing the moribund and contributions emitted from them with no return.

Alexander, of Des Moines, Iowa, a young colored engineer, has just completed the erection of a $2,500,000 central-heating plant for the University of Iowa. This marks the conclusion of contracts worth $5,000,000 in 12 years by Alexander.. In commenting upon the successful career of this young engineer, "The Gazette - Republican" (white), published at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, says: "Fifteen years ago the University of Iowa awarded the degree of bachelor of science in engineering to a young Negro. Starting in 1915 in a field practically closed to his race, he has forced to the front until he is recognized as one of the leading contracting engineers in Iowa and the Midwest. For two years after his graduation from Iowa, he worked as a designing engineer for a Denver company. Then he became a contracting engineer getting small paying jobs at the start but gradually increasing his field until now he has built many bridges viaducts, sewage systems and buildings including the central-heating plant. Practically all of the skilled workmen on Alexander's jobs are white men and their comments on their boss give a direct commentary on the character of the man. Alexander goes about his job with a pack of blue prints in his hands and a gleam in his eyes as he directs the rearing of a monument to himself that will outlast even the memorial to his class. It will be recalled that this is the same Alexander that became the first of a great trio of Negro tackles on the University of Iowa football team. NEW PEP Start full of Pop!

A Sad Insight Into Politics as Played by Negroes in Harlem, the World's Greatest Community of Negroes—"Let Us Gamble, or We Turn Republican Again" Facts About the Constitution of the United States (From the New York Times, July 12) A revolt against Tammany Hall and the Walker Administration is brewing among Negro Democrats in Harlem, William Bannn, president and organizer of the Golden Democratic Club The Government of the United States is operated under a Constitution adopted in 1789. Previously the various States had operated under Articles of Confederation, which proved unsatisfactory. In 1785 a committee of Congress recommended an alteration in the Articles of Confederation, but no action was taken. Virginia, in 1786, appointed commissioners to meet commissioners from other States with a view to altering the Articles of Confederation and establishing a constitution. Only four states of thirteen responded to the first call at Annapolis, but in the following May a successful one was assembled, with George Washington as its president. The Constitution was agreed to on September 17, 1787. Congress, on September 28, submitted the Constitution to the several States for ratification, and they did so in 1789. Ten amendments were almost immediately made to the Constitution, constituting what are known as the bill of rights, all placing certain inactions on governmental powers. Since that time nine other amendments have been added, including those relating to the income tax, suffrage and prohibition. Hundreds of attempts are made annually to amend the Constitution, but the safeguards thrown around it are such that nothing except the most meritorious course can get a hearing. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All the forty-eight States and the Territorial possessions of the United States recognize its authority, which is interpreted by a Supreme Court now composed of nine justices. No military or other backing other than a formal agreement exists for the Constitution. ```markdown ``` (From the New York Times, July 19) A revolt against Tammany Hall and the Walker Administration is browning among Negro Democrats in Harlem, William Banna, president and organizer of the Golden Democratic Club at 107 West 127th Street, in the Nine-tenth Assembly District, said yesterday that his organization had been persecuted by the police and that most of the club members were on the verge of returning to the Republican fold. The members of the club, for the most part, are former Republicans who turned while John P. Hylae was Mayor. Mr. Hylae during his two campaigns made a special appeal to the Negro voten, and after his victories in 1917 and 1921 gave them recognition in the form of patronage. According to Mr. Banks, the club members swear by Hylae and Charles P. Murphy, the late leader of Tammany Hall, but at present are very cool toward Mayor Walker and George W. Olvany, who succeeded Mr. Murphy as Tammany leader. The trouble began some three weeks ago, when the police descended on the club, arrested one employee and locked him up on a charge of maltaining a gambling house. When they departed a uniformed policeman was placed on guard in the clubhouse. He has remained there ever since, much to the annoyance of the members. The case will come up for trial before City Magistrate McQuade on July 22. Mr. Banks said yesterday that the raid was without justification and that unless the policeman now on guard was withdrawn and the club given a free bill of health, every Democratic picture in the clubhouse "will come down and stay down for good." The vocal cords of women being shorter than those of men, less energy is required for a woman to talk than for a man. and not the least of the social, civil and economic opportunities they may have, or be able to make, in the countries where they consider themselves "as pilgrims and strangers," looking longingly and hopefully to repatriation in their own land. THE JUVENILE MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION THERE is nothing more important, and nothing more difficult, in the work of the race than the proper care and training of the children. There is a deep underlying reason why this should be so. What is the reason? It is simple enough for all to grasp and to understand. It is because the boys and girls of today will be the men and women of tomorrow. We cannot get away from this fact, if we would. And who would? The most precious gifts, the most valued jewels, in the home, in the estimation of the parents, are their children. It is good that it is so. The wise man felt deeply who said, "Raise up a child in the way it should go and when it is old it will not depart from it." There is nothing more colorful and hopeful in the life of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and nothing closer to the affections of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the spiritual father of them all, than the juvenile members. In the gatherings in the halls and in the parades of the association the presence of the children shows that they are growing up in the way they should go when it comes their turn to take hold and manage the affairs of the association. And in the activities of the association the children have a well-defined part to play, and we all know that they play it faithfully and with the loyalty and enthusiasm of youth. When they are given a place on the programs of the public meetings they invariably acquit themselves with great satisfaction to the audience and to their parents. We are proud of the juvenile members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the hope they hold out in carrying on the great work when their elders are ready to turn it over to them, or to share it with them. They are a positive element of strength to the association and should be encouraged to persevere in the good work. LARGEST COTTON GROWERS SHUT DOWN FOR THE YEAR THE FLOOD in the Mississippi Valley States, which destroyed a vast volume of farm values, also disorganized the farming industry to such an extent as to necessitate late planting or no planting at all, especially of cotton, the main crop of those states, in which thousands of Negroes are engaged as farm owners, tenants, croppers or day workers. The appearance of the boll weevil throughout the cotton growing belt and in Georgia and Alabama intensifies matters for the farmers and makes it impossible, with their loss, by the flood, to speculate on raising a cotton crop this year. The English syndicate which operates one of the largest cotton farms in the world, with headquarters at Scott, Miss., and which employs many Negroes on 43,000 acres on the co-operative share cropping plan, and is said to constitute a very harmonious and helpful community of interests, has decided to abandon its cotton planting for the current year. This is bound to work great hardship upon the Negro workers of the Delta and Pine Land Company's big farm, as well also upon Negroes dependent upon the cotton industry for a living, independently of this big concern. Logically, for every loss there should be a compensating gain and there usually is. It is said that the cotton growers have decided to raise more corn, fodder and pork products, with poultry and dairy development. If they do this as a matter of self-preservation it may prove to be a liberation from the slavery of the one-crop of cotton into the freedom of diversified farming, in which raising of home supplies is the main thing. Cotton is considered the money making crop, and, therefore, everybody goes in for raising cotton. When a flood, or a drouth, or the boll weevil comes along and kills the cotton output the people are poor and miserable indeed. Some one of these deadly things has been affecting the production of cotton for many years. The people will never be free from the dangers of the one crop situation until they adopt the diversified system of farming, in which the raising of home supplies has first place. The people are beginning to see it in this way. The Negro World has many readers in the Mississippi Valley States, and it sympathizes with them in the disasters of flood and boll weevil which have come upon them within the current year.

MAKE THE LOCAL CONVENTIONS A SUCCESS WHAT is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Botch work is not necessary in anything essential. People who keep these facts in mind are those who make the greatest success and enjoy most the confidence and respect of their neighbors. Have you not observed it to be so? As there will be no international convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association this year, but rather conventions of the locals, a comprehensive program for which has been suggested by Acting President-General Fred A. Toote, it is of the supreme moment that the members do the most they can to make the local convention a great success. It is the business of the members of each local to do this, and we know they will not neglect their business. A very ambitious program has been made for the opening day of the local convention in New York city, in which distinguished persons in many walks of life are expected to participate, with divine services in the morning, at Liberty Hall, a parade in Harlem in the afternoon and a mass meeting in the evening in the Fifteenth Regiment Armory. It is expected that there will be a great outpouring of the people and that enthusiasm will rise high and show itself full of the milk of human hope for better things in the life of the Negro people. The watchword is: Make the convention of the local success. AFRICANS FAIL TO COME TO THE UNITED STATES WHY do people leave their country for some other country is a live question which furnishes a basis of reaching the social, civil and economic conditions of the nations. When people are satisfied they have no disposition to leave their homes and friends. They can easily be made dissatisfied by an abnormal condition in the administration of justice, unemployment, or religious persecution. When there are more mouths to feed than there is food to satisfy them discontent at once makes its appearance. This usually happens when the increase of population is greater than the producing capacity of the country affected. This is true of all of the European countries, except France, which has a constantly failing birthrate. While other nations seek outlets for their surplus people in developing colonies at the expense of the natives of such, in order to provide them employment. France seeks new sources from which to replenish the shortage in its birthrate. It is on that account that France seeks to give her coloniale a larger measure of representation in local government than the other European countries. In the West Indies and in Africa she has pursued this policy with varying success. Europeans and Western Asiatics showed a lively disposition to get into the United States during the last fiscal year. They exhausted their quotas before the allotted time, Germany topping the list of all countries. It is interesting and instructive to study the movement of populations, if you would get at the real reasons for such movements. In the last issue of The Negro World we published a statement, headed, "Africans Show No Desire to Come to the United States," which we are sure was read with interest, in which the following paragraph appeared: One of the hardest things in the world is the position of the white Christian trying to square himself with the unchristian (1) peoples of the world on this color prejudice.—Boston Chronicle. The Negro race in this country is still in its swuddling bands, and has yet to come into a full realization of its true status in America. There must be unified effort for the attainment of rights and Negroes must learn to stand with and for Negroes.—Atlanta Independent. Most of the European quotas were exhausted before the end of the fiscal year, and some of the countries have a waiting list literally a yard long, but the Yaps, the Samoans, the Ethiopians and others show no disposition to abandon the easy atmosphere of little work and less clothes to get into the United States and the industrial world, which takes many exactions in exchange for "freedom." A new generation, with different or alightly modified impulses, has come onto the scene. It has, perhaps, less spiritual ardor and more notions of tangible and concrete results. It could not be different in the face of changing ideas in everything about them. It knows little else than what it faces in the current flow of every-day life, nor can it be bound by, nor be attracted to that which is obsolete in form to say nothing of obsolescence in spirit.—Birmingham Reporter. There is a long list of countries or principalities the natives of which showed no disposition to crash into the United States. It includes Andorra, Bhutan, French Cameron, Ethiopia, Muscat, Nauru, Nepal, New Guinea, Ruanda and Urundi, Samona, Yap, British Togoland and French Togoland. Each had a quota of one hundred and scored a shutout. British Cameron, Liberia and Slam each sent one lonesome immigrant during the year, though they had a quota of 100. Southwest Africa sent just two out of a 100 quota. Ever listen to yourself talk? If you try it, you will talk a little less than half as much as you have in the past. Two-fifths of all of our talk amounts to nothing; the other two-fifths is worth very little more. while the remaining one-fifth would be better unaid.—Shreveport Sun. Africans have never figured very numerously as home-seekers in the United States even when the European rush to do so averaged a million persons a year, but they have been showing less disposition to do so since the World War and the inauguration by the United States of drastic rules and regulations intended to keep foreigners out rather than encourage them to come in. And we have the notion that the British authorities in the West Indies and in Britain, who control the allotment of the quotas, have a rule which excludes Negro subjects from the benefits of the allotment on the ground that they are not citizens. There is a vast distinction between the civil privileges and immunities of British citizens and immigrants. It is said that the adult seems to be able to live without love, though his life without it lacks color and vitality. The adolescent, apparently, cannot live without love. His life is too empty without it and this world too bleak. He either fails ill or dies of decline, or he destroys himself with despair, or he commits suicide.—Western American. would, while very few Negroes are coming into the United state "Back to Africa" sentiment is growing among the Negroes and African who want a Negro government of their own in their countries making sentiment which will in the end bring them out of their deserts. While waiting and working for their freedom, they should not neglect to make the most Discussion has never been a bad thing for any old individual to practice, and when some of us give our departments a little over-hunting, etc., we will become assets to the race and city; we certainly owe the public some consideration, where our actions and talk become disreputable and we should cut it out and try to be decent. Though people never assist in the material advancement of the city, nor the race, and while we cannot hope for the entire group to be angels, most of us can be decent.—Oklahoma Eagle. It has been said that one's character is largely determined by how he spends his leisure time.—Omaha Monitor. Taken by and large, the social problems affecting the Negro race within its own ranks must be solved by the standard set by its women.—Newport News-Star. Every man and woman of good average intelligence can become a benefactor to his own country and to the world at large by contributing something, if it is only cheerful and intelligent labor, to his fellow men. Black and White Chronicle. RACE LEADERS Race leaders are said to be scarce now, more so than they were back in the eighties. If quantity is meant well, that is not true, for we have more race leaders now than we have ever had. Some of them are self-styled and self-appointed and self-sustained, if sustained at all; but they are leaders, then. But when it comes to quality—well, we just think of the mighty men who worked fearlessly—even defying death and laughing at hell—even when it was raging. These were real men—opportune men, leaders of whom the world was not worthy, so God took them and they are not. And the followers—the nowadays followers—do not measure up to the followers of the men that used to be. And there is some of our troubles. Our present-day leaders want to know "what am I going to get out of it?" and the followers want to know "what is in it for me?" Our other leaders forget self and defied the blaming plains of hell for their people. But they are more new. Your Duty to Garveyism as Disciples By AMY JACQUES GARVEY I wonder how many members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can say: "I have been able to make twenty conversions to Garveyism." By "making a convert" I don't mean merely inviting a person to a Liberty Hall, because the credit would not wholly be yours, since the matter of conversion would then rest with the speakers who address the meeting. Have you ever, through your arguments and reasoning, enlightened anyone in the tenets of Garveyism? I want to impress on you the importance of your help in this direction. You know that one of the main objects of our association is to bring all peoples of African descent into one grand racial hierarchy; you know we are the poorest race on the face of the globe; that our association teaches self-help and therefore we do not be other race-groups for support, but depend solely on the contributions of our poor members to fight the propaganda of rich nations, and to organize the world of Negroes against oppression. Knowing this and much more concerning our condition and our ambitions you ought to know that we cannot afford to pay the amount of apostles necessary to convert our race scattered as they are all over the world and in the space of time we would like to see them united for their self-preservation. A very serious and urgent duty therefore rests on you the members of this great organization to carry the Gospel to those who knows.h it not. It is not fair to your officers at headquarters, also your local officers, to expect them to do your share of work. A few thousand officers cannot campaign the whole globe, especially when their duties keep them more or less in one city or state, and I must again impress on you the fact that the organization cannot pay the salaries and traveling expenses of thousands of extra organisers, therefore you who come in daily contact with people who are not Garveyites should use that contact to good advantage by preaching the Gospel to them. If every single member tried this out by Christmas we would treble our registered membership without incurring extra expenses either to the local treasury or that at headquarters. Some of you may say that you are not forceful enough to convince an outsider. This is a poor excuse because there is enough U. N. I. A. literature that you can get at a moment's notice, that will convert the "whitest Negro" over night. The Negro World works wonders on "dumb" Negroes; it is guaranteed to loosen their tongues and give them knowledge; when you have finished reading your weekly copy fold it up neatly, put a label on it and mail it to a relative, friend or acquaintance in some other section of the world. Since Mr. Garvey has been in prison he has produced "Africa For the Africans," Vol. II, and the Epic, "The White Man's Game," for the purpose of having the members distribute them widely, in order to disseminate the Gospel while it remains confined. He was shocked to learn that very few members had even secured copies for their own files. "Why," said he, "in they put aside 25 cents per week they would in a few weeks be able to purchase Vol. II, which contains the history of the organization. Why are they not at least preserving the history of their struggles and sacrifices for their children to read?" If you want to brighten the heart of the "chief" while in prison then start right now to round up the outliders, so that when Christmas comes and you send him your usual Christmas greeting card you may be able to add these words: "I have added twenty to the fold." Then may he truly say, "Though they have shut me away and closed my mouth, yet has Garvayism flourished and yielded, yes, a hundred fold." HEALTH TOPICS By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Get Your Share of the Four Essentials to Good Health Tuberculosis can be cured. It can be prevented also. Each individual can do much to save himself from having the disease, or help himself to recover from it. There are four great essentials in preventing tuberculosis — fresh air, amnity, good food and rest. These are the important things in recovery from the disease, as well. Further- more, they are essential to good health. Perhaps the most important of them is good food. Proper nourishment is essential to healthy living. Our bodies must have food which will supply it with the energy it needs. It must have food to help rebuild the tissues that are broken down in daily living. It must have fuel to help it carry on its various functions and to develop properly. In addition, a well-nourished body in better able to resist disease. Everyone should eat enough food to give him proper nourishment. His diet should include some of all the different kinds of foods—fats, carbohydrates (sugar, potatoe, brand), proteins (found in meat, fish, milk, butter, egg, cheese, nuts), vitamins (found in tomatoes, oranges, most fresh vegetable, fruits, milk) and mineral salts (found in fresh vegetable, cottage, cabbage, spinach and so forth). In addition, everyone should get at least eight-hours of sleep every night for rest for the body and the nervous system. We all need plenty of fresh air and sunshine, too, and we should sleep with our windows open and exercise in the open as much as possible. If we pay attention to these necessities we shall be doing much to keep to good health and to prevent overfatten from heating intermittently. It was 1:30 a.m. when the Federal Express pulled out of the Pennsylvania van station bound for Washington, D.C. Sleepy passengers jetted for comfortable seats, among them the personal of "The Kentucky Club Revue." Their manager failed to get a special car and the fair daughters of Ethiopians were raving with dissatisfaction. And why shouldn't they? The manager himself was comfortably tucked away in a sleeper, while they fatigued from Sunday's performances, were left to shift for themselves. As the train sped on to its destination the petite chorines became fully reconciled to their fate and found other subjects for discussion. Those of us who sit in a theatre and watch them perform have no idea of the heavy responsibilities, even tragedy, which they hard working performers have to face when they leave the glare of the footlights. As they settled down to communicate one with another, I got an interesting glimpse of the finer qualities they possess. One group passed the time playing whist, another exchanged photographs of relatives and friends, another discussed the family welfare—the balance mother wanted to pay off the mortgage on the old homestead in Virginia or Alabama, some money for sister who is in college, a pipe for dad's birthday gift, and a little dress for brother's baby. Yet another group discussed the best ways and means to improve the quality of the show as a means of boosting the meager payroll. I found the cast of "The Kentucky Club Revue" a little family wrapped up in their profession and the success of each performer. As we neared Washington chicken sandwiches were shared with all, a comely little brunette went around giving out and explaining typewritten instructions of a new sketch, while the men spoke words of encouragement and helped with the bagage. There was a smile on every face, a consciousness of oneness of interest, and the spirit of sympathy and understanding was dominant. I left them at the Union Station with the resolution to heseforth be more sympathetic and appreciative of the efforts of our ambitious stage performers. Two hours later I boarded the Everglades Limited of the Atlantic Coast Line bound for North Carolina. Stops were made at Richmond, Va., Rocky Mount and Goldsboro, N. C. Four years ago I traveled over the same route and found the "colored" section of the passenger stations unkempt and dislipidated. Since then attempts have been made at improvement. These sections have now a more pleasing appearance, the rules of sanitation are being observed, and more attention is being given to the comfort of "colored" passengers. A healthy sign is the novel manner in which our people are meeting the challenge of railroad Jimcrowism. The farmer and the peasant are saving to buy a Ford, while their more fortunate brethren are purchasing Chevrolet, Lincoln and Chrysler. Already the railroads are feeling the effect, and if the good work is kept up it will only be a matter of time when the South will either have to abolish railroad Jim-crowism or provide our people with Pullmans and day coaches with conveniences equal to that provided for the whites. An hour and twenty-five minutes' ride from Goldaboro on the Norfolk & Southern brings you to the quiet, respectable town of Kinston, situated in the tobacco belt of North Carolina. Here is located a chain of warehouses where tobacco merchants, through public auction and coercion, pile up wealth at the expense of the unorganised growers. Relationship between the races is good. They are exceedingly courteous and hospitable to strangers. Northern migration has left Kinston desolate. Children whose mothers and fathers are "up North" roam the streets and adjacent corn fields, innocent of what's going on. Mothers and fathers gaxing pleadingly to the skies as if awaiting a sign from heaven. The tobacco industry is the chief source of employment for our people. The women field hands get $1.50 per day, the stemers 7 cents per pound. Early in the morning they are on their way to gather the crop, returning late in the evening. One cannot help being inspired by the courage and fortitude of these people, who, in spite of adverse economic circumstances, undertake to stem the tide of racial extermination. On East North street and South Queen street are to be found a number of race enterprises manned by men and women who are imbued with the spirit of progress. There are banks, real estate concerns, drug stores, cafes, grocery stores, undertaking establishments, barber shops, cleaning and pressing clubs and delicatessons that would do credit to New York or Chicago. Outstanding among these are the People's Savings Bank, the Dime Bank, the Progressive Real Estate and Loan Company, and the Bon Ton Cafe. The People's Theatre, the only colored movie, is controlled by the People's Bank Corporation. On the banks of the muddy Neuse River is Riverside Park the only place of amusement for Kinston's colored people. It is controlled by the whites and accommodations are poor and obnoxious. A number of fraternal organizations are in existence, but the membership in each is negligible due to economic conditions. The U. N. I. A. is as strong as the others, but nothing in comparison to four years ago, when this branch was one of the most progressive in the State. The leading churches are the Free Will Baptist, the St. Augustus A. M. E. Zion, and First Baptist. These three are continually fighting for popularity, and at present the Free Will and the A. M. E. Zion are in the heat of a campaign to raise $5,000 each for a pipe organ. If this is religion, God save me from it. Here is an impoverished community in need of intelligent leadership to save it from extinction, yet the best the preachers can do is to engage in a race that is as immoral as it is religious. Ten thousand dollars should be raised by the colored people of Kinston by all means, but it should go either towards the building of a Y. M. C. A., a Y. W. C. A., a hospital, a farmers' co-operative society, a health center, or some other community project by which all would be benefited, rather than to two pipe organs for which there is no necessity. There are three educational institutions—the Kinston College, maintained by the Free Will Baptist Church, and two public schools. The teachers are well paid and quite a few from the North grace the faculties. Most of our people own their homes, and I found presiding over them a fine specimen of robust womanhood whose physical stature reminded me of those brave Amazons of Equatorial Africa who flourished in a civilization of their own long before Livingstone and Stanley were born. Incidentally, Kinston has an unsolved mystery of interest to the Negro citizenry of this country. While playing on a dump pile some weeks ago a number of children, two belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Annie Williams of 212 merriment street, found several copies of "Kelly Miller's History of the World War." I have it from the lips of one of the children that he saw a white man dump two wagon loads of the books on the pile. He brought home about 50 copies all carefully wrapped as shipped. These are being distributed free by Mrs. Williams. The remainder are at rest deep beneath the dump pile. I have a copy of the book given to me by Mrs. Williams in good condition. No one knows the identity of the agent for the books, how they came to Kinston, or the motives for their untimely end. It is hoped that this will catch the eyes of our good friend Professor Miller for his information. And, by way of contrast, I saw the following prominently displayed on a colored store front on my way from the interview with Mrs. Williams and her children: "Announcing the death of credit. Please don't ask for the dead." "The Kentucky Club Raves" of the sociol- vania station bound for Washington, D. C. fortable senta, among them the person.

The On Race Leadership WASHINGTON.—"We first developed a race type in leadership that won recognition by agitation of wrongs," writes the editor of the Ohio Baptist News, who adds: "For a long time this was attractive, but proved insufficient to hold a following, for the average Negro is intelligent enough to see his wrongs without assistance." "Also, almost all Negroes are good speakers, and African are natural and effective system. For these reasons this class of leader did not long hold his own with the masses of black Americans. Next we developed a leader who learned into the philosophy of the Negro's condition, and we have not advanced from gid stage, but the Negro race in mass has advanced beyond the authority. "People who have accumulated the property, education and skill that have developed in the race in the past twenty years have no time to learn to whining, but want great constructive ideas that will bring them to the front in world estimation by achievement."—G. P. RETROSPECTION Again we pass through our National Anniversary and pause to review the year's events that touch on our racial program. Passing over the new inventions, new productions of art and literature we attach greater significance to the gradual change in Negro thought and movement. The need has produced the dead in inviting us for concentrated purposes and determination. Could we reverse our position and see our progress with the eyes of a Northen, the one thing that would stand out pre-eminently over all others would be the alarming that that darker races have gone to thinking. Bias of exploitation, injustice and invagery are drawing to a close. Northe writers and students of economy recognize this fact and view it with alarm. Significant, too, in time in spite of their agitation, newborns do they request a change to a policy of impartial justice, television and adjustment. To them the combination of old tyranny is more desirable than their unification. The dawn of a new day is breaking for us but Old is slowly! No very slowly!—Glenwood Call. FOR LIBERTY UNIVERSITY!

TOOTE, Chairman UNOFFICIAL WAR IN NICARAGUA Fifty Killed, Many Wounded, Including One Marine Dead, When U. S. Feres Seek to Crush Nicaraguan Patriot MANAGUA, Nicaragua, July 17. United States marines and Nicaraguan constabulary severely repulsed Gen. Sandine, recalcitrant Liberal, who attacked Ocotal Saturday afternoon and again today. The rebel losses were over fifty killed and many wounded. One marine was killed and one wounded. The rebels were bombed by planes sent from Managua, which apparently did considerable execution. The marines, numbering thirty-nine, were under command of Major Hatfield, while the constabulary was under Lieut. Grover Darnell. Ocotal is a small town about 110 miles north of Managua. Two scout planes returned here from Ocotal yesterday and reported to Gen. Feland. Commander of the American forces, that the marines and constabulary were defending the town against Sandino and 200 men. Five bombing planes were despatched immediately to Ocotal, but they encountered stormy weather. They reached Ocotal after a difficult flight and dropped bombs on the outskirts of the town. All five bombing planes started on the return journey last night. Two of them were forced to land near Leon, another flew to Honduras in order to escape the storm, while the remaining two reached Mangua. Bombing planes were again despatched to Ocstal this morning and aided in repulsing Sandino's attempt to take the town. (Gen. Sandino, who has been occupying American mines at San Fernando recently, refused to sur- That Baby You've Longed For Mrs. Burton Advices Women on Motherhood and Companionship "For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," writes Mrs. Margarve Burton, of Kansas City.

Previous reports said that detachments of marines and Nicaraguan soldiers were proceeding against Sandino.) U. S. Forces Only Hold Down Lid of a Volcano Stating his business as "a superior staff officer, at present at large and without an army," General Rafael de Negales, 47-year-old Venezuelan soldier of fortune, who picks his sides in wars and revolutions as a chess player moves his pawns, arrived here recently aboard the Spanish Royal Mail liner Critebal Colon. Since January he has been engaged, he stated, in making a study of Nicaragua, and upon his return here warned that American "dollar diplomacy" was threatening our interests in that country. The General, who has been exiled from his home in Venesuela since 1901, has returned there only once—at the head of an army, to gain temporary possession of a part of the country from President Gomez. Whenever he hears of a revolution or war he goes to it, having served in several Mexican revolutions, the Spanish-American War, the Russo-Japanese conflict and finally commanded a division of Turkish cavalry in the World War after the Belgians and French had in turn refused the offer of his sword. American troops in Nicaragua, he states, are merely holding down the lid of a volcano. He crossed the country from coast to coast, including seven weeks' wandering through the dense jungle that forms an impassable barrier, running north and south through Nicaragua. He had heard of the particular revolution and had gone to it. "Although I found Americans well liked," he said, "their dollar diplomacy will cause trouble," and he named two New York banking houses as having been directly responsible for the Sacasa-Díaz conflict—a fact he said to be believed by Nicaraguan leaders of both parties and concerning which he claims to have positive proof. "Nicaragua would not have minded intervention so much," he continued, "if its time had been limited—say for six months, or until after the next election. And a great mistake was made in not disarming the Conservative party as well as the Liberals." General de Nogales said he found a well armed army of 1,000 in the jungle under General Augusto Sandino, a former Sacana leader. While this force may seem insignificant, he added, no less than 50,000 American troops would be required to conquer the area. The minimum age of fourteen years for employment in industry adopted by the Washington conference of 1919 has been ratified by fifteen nations. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1987 A MAN WITHOUT A NAME (Controlled by Universal Negro Improvement Association) J. A. CRAIGEN, Secretary It was in the month of December 1852. Coleson Rice and family were seated around a bright wood fire whose blaze lighted up the large dining room in their old mansion situated ten miles from Dayton, in the State of Ohio. They heard a knock at the door, which was answered by the familiar "Come in" that always greets the stranger in the Western States. Squire Loomis walked in and took a seat on one of the three rocking-chairs, which had been made vacant by the young folks, who arose to give place to their highly influential and wealthy neighbor. It was a beautiful night; the sky was clear, the wind had hung its deep moanings, the most brilliant of the starry throng stood out in bold relief, despite the xapperl light of the moon. "I see some one standing at the gate," said Mrs. Rice, as she left the window and came nearer the fire. "I'll go out and see who it is," exclaimed George, as he left his chair and started for the door. The latter soon returned and whispered to his father, and both left the room, showing that something unusual was at hand. Not many minutes elapsed, however, before the father and son entered, accompanied by a young man, whose complexion showed plainly that other than Anglo-Saxon blood coursed through his veins. The whole company arose, and the stranger was invited to draw near to the fire. Question after question was now pressed upon the newcomer by the colonel and the squire, but without eliciting satisfactory replies. "You need not be afraid, my friend," said the host, as he looked intently in the colored man's face, "to tell where you are from and to what place you are going. If you are a fugitive, as I suspect, give us your story, and we will protect and defend you to the last." Taking courage from these kind remarks, the mulatto said: "I was born, sir, in the State of Kentucky, and raised in Missouri. My master was my father; my mother was his slave. That, sir, accounts for the fairness of my complexion. As soon as I was old enough to labor I was taken into my master's dwelling as a servant to attend upon the family. My mistress, aware of my near relationship to her husband, felt humiliated, and often in her anger would punish me severely for no cause whatever. My near approach to the Anglo-Saxon aroused the jealousy and hatred of the overseer, and he flogged me, as he said, to make me know my place. My fellow slaves hated me because I was whiter than they. Thus my complexion was made a crime, and I was made to curse my father for the Anglo-Saxon blood that courses through my veins. "My master raised slaves to supply the Southern market, and every year some of my companions were sold to the slave-traders and taken further South. Husbands were separated from their wives and children torn from the arms of their agonizing mothers. These outrages were committed by the man whom nature compelled me to look upon as my father. My mother and brothers were sold and taken away from me; still I here all, and made no attempt to escape, for I yet had near me an only sister, whom I dearly loved. At last the Negro driver attempted to rob my sister of her virtue. She appealed to me for protection. Her innocence, beauty and tears were enough to stir the stoutest heart. My own, filled with grief and indignation, swelled within me as though it would burst or leap from my bosom. My tears refused to flow; the fever in my brain dried them up. I could stand it no longer. I seized the wretch by the throat and hurled him to the ground, and with this strong arm I paid him for old and new. The next day I was tried by a jury of slaveholders for the crime of having within me the heart of a man and protecting my sister from the licentious embrace of a libertine. And—would you believe it, sir? —that jury of enlightened Americans—yes, sir. Christian Americans—after grave deliberation, decided that I had broken the laws, and sentenced me to receive five hundred lashes upon my bare back. But, sir, I escaped from them the night before I was to have been flogged. "Afraid of being arrested and takes back, I remained the following day hidden away in a secluded spot on the banks of the Mississippi River, protected from the gaze of man by the large trees and thick canebrakes that sheltered me. I waited for the coming of another night. All was silence around me, save the sweet chant of the featured songsters in the forest, or the musical ripple of the eddying waters at my feet. I watched the majestic bluffs as they gradually faded away, through the gray twilight, from the face of day into darker shades of night. I then turned to the rising moon as it peered above, ascending the deep blue ether, high in the heavens, casting its mellow rays over the surrounding landscape, and gliding the smooth surface of the noble river with its silvery hue. I viewed with interest the stars as they appeared, one after another, in the firmament. It was then and there that I studied nature in its lonely grandeur, and saw in it the goodness of God, and felt that He who created so much beauty, and permitted the fowls of the air and the beasts of the field to roam at large and be free, NEEDED IMMIGRATION CTY UN y Campaign, ERS OF UNIVERSAL NEG ERSAL LIBERTY UNIVE Universal Negro Improvement and the Promotion of a S n the Spirit of Self-Help a E ($1.00) DOLLAR AND INDIVIDUAL AWARDS received Button with picture of Sch certificate of Contribution to the receive both of the above awar DIVISIONAL AWARDS Period will be awarded a place in its Liberty Hall.

I received that I would be a bond-man no longer and, taking for my guide the north star, I started for Canada, the Negro's land of liberty. For many weeks I traveled by night and by by during the day. O, how often, while hid away in the forest, waiting for nightfall, have I thought of the beautiful lines I once heard a stranger recite: "Oh, hall Columbia, happy land, The cradle land of liberty. Where none but Negroes bear the brand. Or feel the lash of slavery. And drown 'Britannia Rules tho Waves': Strike up the song that men can feel: "Columbia Rules Four Million Slaves." "At last I arrived at a depot of the Underground Railroad, took the express train, and here I am." "You are welcome," said Colonel Rice, as he rose from his chair, walked to the window and looked out, as if apprehensive that the fugitive's pursuers were near by. "You are welcome," continued he "and I will aid you on your way to Canada, for you are not safe here." "Are you not afraid of breaking the laws by assisting this man to escape?" remarked Squire Loomis. "I care not for laws when they stand in the way of humanity," replied the Colonel. "If you aid him in reaching Canada, and we should ever have a war with England, may he he'll take up arms and fight against his own country," said the Squire. The fugitive eyed the law-abiding man attentively for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Take up arms against my country? What country, sir, have I? The Supreme Court of the United States, and the laws of the South, doom me to be the slave of another. There is not a foot of soil over which the Stars and Stripes wave where I can stand and be protected by law. I've seen my mother sold in the cattle market. I looked upon my brothers as they were driven away in chains by the slave speculator. The heavy Negro whip has been applied to my own shoulders until its biting lash sunk deep into my quivering flesh. LUCK!

There is no justice for me at the south; every right of my race is trampled in the dust, until humanity bleeds at every point. I am bound for Canada, and woe to him that shall attempt to arrest me. If it comes to the worst I will die fighting for problem." "I know you for your courage," she claimed Squire Leona, as he proudly from his coat and walked rapidly for and fro through the room. "It is too bad." continued he, "that such man should be enslaved in a land where Declaration of Independence presides all men to be free and equal. I will aid you in any thing that I can." "What is your name?" "I have no name," said the sagittive. "I once had a name—it was William—but my master's nephew came to live with him, and as I was a house servant and the young master and I would, at times, get confused with the name name, orders were given for me to change mine. From that moment I resolved that as slavery had robbed me of my liberty and my name I would not attempt to have another till I was free. So, sir, for once you have a man standing before you without a name." is NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.L A.

If it is true, and = believe it is, it is a case that should not go unchallenged while yet there is time. It proves again that our lives are not secure to us. What has happened in the case of Stanley has happened to others.. The great difference is that in most cases the lynchers’ ropes beat the courts to the vic- tim In either case sues is trampled in the dust. How long, we wonder, will America condone such practice? When will the United States become the land of the free and home of the brave in deed as well as in action. The facts as set forth in this letter should call for 2 thorough review. Stanley should not hang. Retresting waters of the Mississipp! River have begun to leave in their wake a new set of flood victims—mil- ons of stranded fishes. Letters from residents of States along the lower ‘Misatsaipp! have already been recetved by the United States Buregu of Fish- erfes, asking the bureau to come to the rescue. ‘The bureau 1s making plans for an unusually extensive program of rascue work along the lower Misaissipp! this summer, according to G. C. Leach, chief cf tho division of fish culture. The rescue crews ordinarily 60 most of their fish saving in the upper Mis- sissipp! region, he said, but this year the upper Missisaipp! situation 1s not expected to be serious, as snowfall has been plentiful, and this will tend to prevent rapid drying out of river beds. Each year, wherever the water is unusually high. adult fish are carried eee of the main channel of the river. They spawn in these backwaters, and when the rivers become low innumer- able young fish are left stranded in ahallow pools and depressions that rapidly dry up. Rescue crews catch them in seines and transport them to the river. A number of sportamen in Arkansas and Misalssipp! have offered to help the seiniag crews, and the bureau will accept this asslatance, Mr. Leach sald. “As a rule, there is enough rain in the South to keep ponds filled, and there | are comparatively few places where fish become stranded.” he explained. “This year, however, due to the huge area. inundated, the condition is Likely 0 be much more serious.” ‘Cornell Receives Valued African Collection ITHACA, N.

In giving out the figures attention was called to the publication a few days ago of a report of one of the large life insurance companies showing that accidental drownings among its in- dustrial policy holders had been one- fourth more numerous from January 1 to June 18 this year tian deathe from the same cause for the same period of 1936. ‘The great excess In the number of drownings of men over those of women is believed to be accounted for. in large part, by three things, Thousands of men and boys swim about the docks and plers in the heated season, while few, if any, women do. Men and boys are more venturesome in the water than women and girl. And finally, men and boys are more inclined to dis- play their swimming prowess and so get inte trouble oftener at the bathing beaches. * Accidental deaths from gas polson- ing showed an alarming rate of in- grease in New York City Inst year, the records indicate They reached « total of $47, of which 504 ware of males and $55 Of females. In 1970 the total Ueaths rom gas poisoning numbered 564. Mr. Drolet, in an analysis of all the auses of death in New York City, by ages and sex, In the five-year period 1921-1935, found accidental deaths most common between the ages of 25 md 44. In the five-year period 306 men of this age group met death by ocident amaually, as against 327 omen. ‘The total number ef sccitenta! leaths in that time was 20,335.

Su estado de salud motivo principal de la petecién. 21 no ha hecho ningun mal. Una nueva comisi6n de noes a eee por hombres mujeres, bajo la {efsture del Hon. Frederic A. Toote, | Presidente General Interino de esta organizacién, sentoses en la oficina del Departmento de Justicia en Washington, y por espacio de dos horas presenté al Hon. fete R. Sar- gent, Procurador General de los Estados Unidos, una petici6n de clemencia para la excarcelacién del Hon. Mar- ‘cus Garvey, Fundador y Presidente General de Ia Asocia- cién Universal para el Keelanto de la Raza Negra. Por lo que tenemos informado, esta delegacién en- contré al Sr. Sargent en muy afable y paciente modo, asi | como con toda seriedad se dispuso a pesar muy cuidado- samente todas las razones expuestas y oyo con debida atencién los distintos argumentos presences por los ‘que tomaron lo voz cantante en Ia susodicha reuni6n, basando sus peticiones en lo urgente que era la inmediata libertad del negro martir, cuya prisién ha provocado mas agitacién en el mundo, movimiento jamas exteriorizado para ningun otro negro viviente. Es de patente seguridad dejar sentado que desde Ja tes del Renecido Eugenio Debs, leader socialista, no se ya levantado una tormenta de protesta como la que se fevanta de las masas, en contra de la presuncién legal y la persecusién de un solo hombre, como resulta en el caso del infortunado Marcus Garvey. Pero las apelaciones, las protestas del puchlo en el caso de Debs escasamente se, aproximan a la intensidad y fervor con que la masa, su’ raza toda y muchos otros elementos han manifestado, demandando justicia para nuestro leader. \ El proceso histérico de la guerra, influy6é grandemente io de criterio de varios hombres; el aapects de la estién varié influenciado por la psicologia del momento, + las autoridades tuvieron que dar seso, analisar las cosas pn mas cautela, pues Debs contaba con su pluma, con su . jbo, con su inteligencia y con honorabilidad una mayoria siderable. Una actitud severa contra aquel gran hombre ypercutiria mal en hores de peligro nacional. Cediéd el ierno y Debs salié de su prisién. En el caso de Marcus \Garvéy, solamente una insignificante . minoria .de los {ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos estarian gustosos en conceder a esa victima su libertad inmediata. : El Sr. Sargent inform6 a la comisién que habian dos poderosos argumentos que podrian sustanciarse en ayuda del Hon. Garvey. Uno, su estado de salud; el otro probar que no hubo intenci6n de defraudar a los Estados Unidos, siendo éste el caso especifico en gue esta basada su con- viccién. Con esta pauta presenta a por el Sr. Sargent, la delegacién no pudo sino hacer una impsesi6n hondg en la oficina legal mas alta del gobierno federal. Seria una alma muy ingenua, a la verdad, quien pre- tendiera convencer que el gran leader de la raza quiso en- riquecerse a expensas de los patrocinadores de su causa. Lo que Marcus Garvey se propuso hacer lo hizo; Revo- lucion6 él la manera de pensar del negro. Y de ia misma manera que Lindbergh en su salto a Paris, que hace épocha en Ja historia de la aviacién, pensara en el manejo del! dollar, asi Marcus Garvey con un interes marcado, como el arriesgado pajaro humano, colocé Jas cimientes para la nacionalizacién del negro con manos liberales, sin la menor idea de interes personal en su empresa. Por lo que a la salud del gran leader respecta, todos sus | amigos y patrocinadores estamos alarmados, pues Ia| causa real de su afliccién se acentua mas cada dia. FE! siguié sin descanso su obra sin cuidarse de sf mismo y he! ' aqui que su |plendids constitucién se ha visto seriamente | amenazada. En la prisién esta condicién fisica se ha|, agravado, y los facultativos del penal pueden dar fe de lo/. evidente de su situacién. 1 EI caso de Marcus Garvey clama a los cielos por |' mediacién. Su libertad inmediata la desean muchos mi-|! llones, ya que los cafiones de la justicia con pesado tonelaje de razon han fracasado en Ia consecuctén de clemencia. | t Marcus Garvey esta muy Pobre de salud. Su intencién no}! fue Ia de defraudar a nadie. Por estas razones, y no por|' ptra deberia ser devuelto a su raza sin dilacién alguna. {} doa Resotuciones en is conferen- cia de presidentes celebrada en Costa Rica Reunidos en la ciudad de Liméa, Costa Rica, el dia nueve de may ée mil novecientos veinte y siete, mosetros los presidentes de las di- mt detent de ke ase Nears Sreablecides on Costs Rica, con a Ben Marcus Garvey como Presi- Sate Covel y Pete, 58 bros de in magra, Resotvemes : a ae é: Comte Bis Hos. rye al Se. ase rertes “ds y duums cutesidades do be Dar am vote de ageedeshuien- af Hen, Presidente Semigyee & 1 Repth sis ae » am Picea ee Spanish Section Asociacién Universal para el Ade lanto de la Raza Ni conocids con el nombre de Untrersal Negre Lnbforemest Aceocistion, y pot. bedién y respeto al mismo gobierac bajo cual hemos gozado ie- dividual y colectivamente de ciertos privilegios, facitidedes y cortesin como extran: residentes ijeros en ests tener te eswrabed 7 dgaioad a suuretra, coganizeciio, Inmuntands fa meia interpretacién que algunas iniexte, ~ ¥ i tema de bonne ob eaeate 7 cir ores Shine mem aa ae aie eer eper- nided pera entender susstea Fettes s i Used Pruk Co. y ctmpaiiies y empress qua prvercianes wabtjo y_compren le tea ce So st @ le prospered ds Costa Rico.

Lo: miembros, amigos y todos los d buena voluntad que anhbelan ur buen resultado de las gestiones practicadas, han depuesto sus ac tividades y en este periodo ck quietid, esperan ansiosos el éxite de la cruzada emprendida, Todos, absolutamente todos har aportado lo mejor que han poseido para la obtencién de la Nase ejecutiva, en favor de Garvey. Muchos amigos descoac- cidos han salido a la palestra y en campo raso, han dicho al mundo en las tltimas semanas de campaiia y en términos inequivocos, lo que piensan del Hon. Garvey y su divina creacién la Asociacion Uni- versal para el Adelanto de !2 Raza Ne fi Negro World en_representa- cién del Hon.

Salga 9 no con éxito la campafia Pro Libertad Garvey, mucho se ha ganado en su mantenimiento, De todas maneras el Hon. Marcus Garvey tendra que ser libertado alguna: vez. Temiendo: funestas consecuencias en su salud, si su permanencia en la prision se retardara, nosotros hemos hecho todo Io humanamente pesible, luchando tesoneramente por todos lo medios para_acelerar su ex- carcelamiento. Cada vez que una apelacién se ha hecho, tanto la or- ganizacién como el Hon. Marcus Garvey, suman mas fuerzas y valor moral de los miles de amigos que se familiarizan con la fabor de la institucion por primera vez y luego de identificados con la obra, vienen & ser sus mas firmes y desinteresa- dos defensores, La labor de esta organizacién rontinuara in crescendo. Sus principios van infiltrandose con irmeza, como buena semilla plan- ada en los corazones de los negros Je todas partes. Hombres y mujeres de la raza blanca, quienes necesitan ser ecudnimes y justos, prestan todo su celo y ayuda para jue el trabajo continue.

Will he allow himself to become a victim of the white man’s system of economic exploitation?

Instincts Date frem Ancient Stage Development of the instincts which specially mark the human family oc- curred during the thousands of years while our ancestors were evolving from the ape to the Neanderthal man. In spite of his seml-apish appearance, the Neanderthal man had all the fundamental human instincts. As far a instincts are concerned, the human being of today hes progressed no further than the Neanderthal man, ac- cording to Dr. Tilney. He continued: “Whea the brains of all the pre- historic men we know are placed side by aide there is not a question of a doubt about this progress in develop- ment which ia sufficient to convince the moet skeptical.

"Those who seek to children the mansion are persecuted by the oppressor," is true, but shall 12,000,000,000 black, red, brown and yellow men and women allow 4,000,000,000 white men and women to kill, rob, rule and entangle them forever? The brown and yellow men of India say "No," the red man of India say "No," and 400,000,000 Negroes in Africa and the Western Negroes say "No." God created us as men with five senses. He gave us brain like white teeth; if we feel away our time and allow them to envelop us with their system of civilization, the fault is our, not God's. "Improvise the mind and you enclose the body," speaks for itself in the British Empire, Africa and these United States of America. These countries have therefore caused various actions, and will be still more curious if the multiflashing means continue to act and do nothing while others are the whole man in all sorts of evil. Let me give a few words of advice to young men of our race, who shall be our future leaders: 1. Try to acquire a sufficient knowledge of the aims and objects of this Association. 2. Get acquainted with the history of Africa and the Negro race, also the history of the great men of our race, and their achievements. 3. Learn to obey the mandates of this Association. Respect these in higher authority. No that would rule must learn to obey. 4. Remember that the Men, Marous Garvey is the Peer and Commander-in-Chief of this Association. Believe him. "You can't disguise him." 5. Run 1 The Negro World and the Philosophy of Marous Garvey, and encourage the members to do so. The inspiration of same from a racial standpoint is "Unexcelsible." General Editor Our author of "White demand" states: "The Negro should be the best Negro and not the best biennial of a White man." Therefore and the same that precedes and affects all the great commonalities of man- kind. If I could get my people to think always modest them, I would consider that I have done for them a great delen. Negroes must begin to think in a practical way for themselves, be up and be doing, or die a penn and an ecast in the affairs of man. I give praises to "The Jamaica Critic." The editor of this journal shows power, and I pray that we may have more each editor like him and our esteemed editor of The Negro World to enlighten our people of their perilous conditions. The New York dailies reported that the city authorities pledged $50,000 for expenditures for a reception to welcome Charles Lindbergh, their hero Flyer. The world loves success. I do not blame them for the big fuss.

He is quick to lay the white man in some degenerating manner, but slow to initiate great black men or great white men. Through the Negro should initiate great white men when such initiation begins to decrease our social, political, religious and economic values. Still, on the other hand, Negroes should be helpful and not only imitators. ```markdown ``` To the Editor of The Negro World: Tyre is a growing tendency on the part of some of our young men who aspire to become leaders of this organization, not having acquired sufficient knowledge of the aims and objects of the Association, not realizing their inability to measure up to the principles of the same, and the objections of their petty cohorts, they resort to dividing the ranks by sowing discord among the members. Believing that theirDUCTive policy toward the organization will help to make a place for them-selves, where they shall become popular figures in the community. But I would advise these Negroes who think that they can change the laws of this grand association to coincide with their narrow-minded conceptions to organize something of their own. Do not deserved. These are not the days of yore. The New Negro is wide awake, and self-mothers, sharpers and potty schemers will be put to flight as soon as they show their heads above the surface. They succeed to a certain extent in misleading some of the members, but not all. These of us who realize that our imprisoned leader's mandates must be obeyed must carry on this work in spite of the shortsighted Negroes who will fall in line as soon as the scales fall from their eyes. 6.
