HARVARD WORLD A Newspaper Drawing History to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XXII. No. 25 NEW YORK, MONDAY, JULY 30, 1937 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS BLACKS IN THE M. & A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES JAPANESE JOURNALIST'S MESSAGE TO U.S. NEGROES Twentieth Century, He Says, Will See the Rise of the Colored Peoples of the World Suppression of News of Garvey and His Work by White News Agencies Feeding Asiatic Press Will Avail Naught—Sees Hand of England in Garvey's Imprisonment We are pleased to publish the following inspiring and informing message, sent to the Negro World and addressed to the American Negro, from the pen of Mr. Haruji Tawara, a Japanese journalist, now working as a staff correspondent in Brazil!. When Mr. Tawara left these shores less than a year ago he could not speak English, and a conversation we had with him was maintained through an interpreter. The message sent us is written in English, and we are reproducing it verbatim, save for a few minor corrections which we have made to keep the context clear: MR. TAWARA'S MESSAGE Pow American Negroes know anything of Japanese statesmen, but every young Japanese knows the name and work of Mr. Marcus Garvey. The twentieth century is not for the white, but for the 1,000,000,000 colored people. You see, we have five great men in the racial movement today: Dr. Sun Yet Sun for the Chinese, Mr. Garvey for the Africana, Mr. Gandhi for the Hinphin, General Kemal Pashta for the Turks and Mr. Zagloual Pesha for the Egyptians. While Japan is one of the colored races, we have none of these great men. So, every Japanese watches the works of these men. American Negroes, do you know how eagerly your Asian friends are awaiting the success of Garveyism? It has been one of my wishes, before I left Japan for the United States of America, to visit Mr. Garvey at his office in New York City, but when I got down from a taxicab in front of the Universal Negro Improvement Association's office in Harlem and was taken upstairs I was shown an empty chair—Mr. Garvey was not there. I learned soon that Mr. Garvey was in an American penitentiary simply because his work for his motherland was not good for the Union Jack. While all Japanese newspapers are paying a good sum of money to the Associated Press, the United Press, the Universal News Service and other American news agencies to get correct information on the land of democracy and freedom, no Japanese newspaper could get any bit of news regarding Mr. Garvey's recent works. Every Japanese thinks he is working in New York City for his race. Now, I know everything about him, and I tell everything to the Japanese newspapers. When I realized that Mr. Garvey is in the penitentiary by the request of the Union Jack, I understood that the United States of America had not finished the Independence war—she still has a power behind her republic. Negroes, you must work hard. You must not depend on any white nation. You must see that Mr. Garvey comes out from his British prison in Atlanta. You must not forget that colored people all over the world are watching your work, although they say no word openly. Bring back your honorable president, Mr. Garvey, to his office and let him sit in his own chair. The Negro movement will then proceed to the next motion. Work hard; Royel. Watch forward, my friends! I am one of the few subscribers among the Japanese that read every day of the publication World by Rimall. I can watch you through its columns. Please mention any anything to me, or to the Japanese, write it in the Negro CHINESE WINNING FREEDOM'S FIGHT, SAYS MISSIONARY Dr. San's Principles Embraced by All—China Certain to Take Her Place Among Great Nations — Educational Prepaganda Assures Success Whether or not missionaries ever go back to their stations in China and whether or not British business and American business men may resume their trade relations with the Chinese people, the present Chinese revolution is going on to a successful conclusion, according to a statement made by Dr. Ralph K. Diffenderfer, corresponding secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Episcopal Church, on his return from China this week. Dr. Diffendorfer has spent a year touring the mission fields in Asia and for the last few months has made an intensive study of conditions in China. "This revolution is the most hopeful thing in China today," declared Dr. Diffendorfer. "Men from all parts and parties are talking about it and discussing Dr. Sien's principles. It is the only popular revolution China has ever had—a revolution that is shaking the whole political, economic and social structure of the nation. The greatest hope for the final successful outcome of this China revolution is that it carries on an educational propaganda, and it is being understudied as was no other revolution in her history. Every military barrack, every company quarters, every town entered by soldiers is a school where the principles set forth by Dr. Son are studied. Everywhere people know the roots and causes and objectives of the civil warfare. And all classes and groups favor the essential principle. "From China is becoming militaristic—China does not take easily to militarism but the West is forcing her to—and there in hope through the discipline of military service. There is hope of a successful outcome of the revolution also in that it is understood and supported by the farmers and by the laborers; everywhere the old methods of apprenticehip and guilds are giving way to farmers' unions and unions of laborers. "Allied with three are the students and other young Chinese, many of them Christians. These youths are the driving force and the brains back of the Nationalist movement, and through their leadership there is hope for the future of China with all promise of a national characterism and the development of China into its proper home in the community of great patients of the world." "Speaking of missionary work, let me say that Christianity is painted in the hearts of the Chinese. I do not care whether or not all the brick and mortar we have built in China are destroyed. If all our missionaries are forbidden to reenter the country, for I have seen among our Chinese Christians what is really important—the spirit of sacrifice and of loyalty that means Christianity is no longer foreign but a part of Chinese life." Alouze Herndon, Negro Millionaire of Atlanta, Dies; Was Born a Slave Atlanta, Ga., July 22.—Atlanta's wealthiest Negro is dead. But as a monument to himself, he leaves the largest barber shop in the city, a life insurance company, a cemetery association, and an estate valued at approximately $1,000,000. Born a slave, Alonzo F. Jackson came to Atlanta in his 17s and opened a one-man barber shop. His courteous manner won the respect of the white citizens whom he served, and his business grew. At first one, then two chairs were added and as new demands were made additional barbers were employed until today forty-two barbers work in a shop that extends an entire block from Peachtree to Broad street in the business section. Beginning as "boss" of himself alone, Herndon lived to see more than 700 Negroes employed in his enterprises. When he died late last night at the age of sixty-five, he was president of the Atlanta Life Insurance Company and of the Southview Cemetery Association, but his interest was, as at first, in his barber shop. A Message to Underweight Men and Women The one supremely good health building tissue that also the one great weight producer known to modern science the country over is McCoy's Tablets. They build flesh where flesh is needed—smooth cheeks, neck and chest—and many a man and woman, happy and serene have thanked McCoy's after a few weeks treatment for the decided improvement in looks and health. Every time the increase in weight is happening—one constantly the weight gained 10 pounds in 12 days, McCoy takes all the risk—Read this brief summary. If after taking 4 doses of McCoy's Tablets the weight begins any thin, underweight or women doesn't gain at the same rate and finally completely loses with the needed improvement—pour drought in progress, return the previous profit. Read McCoy's Cure Index for the weight gain and loss at any time. McCoy's Medicine, Inc., 40 W. 4th Street, New York City Africa in Need of Negro Doctors Who Besides Serving Their Race, Can Attain Affluence Editor's Note.—One of the crying needs of Africa today is the services of qualified medical men—Negroes; African born or foreign born, who with advantage to themselves and to the glory of their race can carry on the work of the most honorable of professions. It is within our knowledge that two brief years ago a young Negro graduate of medicine of McGill University, Canada, a Garveyite, proceeded to Nigeria, West Africa, to practice his profession. Today, on the high road to wealth, he is doing a brilliant work for his brethren in the country from which his ancestors were born. He has an extensive practice, unsurpassed by any medico in that British colony, and in a letter to a friend in this country laments the short-sightedness of young Negro doctors who would rather starve in the Western hemisphere than achieve position, power and the gratitude of a people in the Motherland. The following article, which appeared in the Gold Coast Times of June 11, is recommended to the thoughtful consideration of for- The provision of a large staff of African doctors to cope successfully with the work of public health is one of the pressing problems of the day, a problem accentuated by the growing death rate. The conditions are becoming intolerable both in town and country, for apart from the ravages caused by the periodical outbreaks of yellow fever and other epidemics, there are diverse diseases—some endemic others imported—which assail and vex the people and claim their victims by the thousand each year. We cannot continue to face the position with a fatalistic attitude, and some forward step has to be taken for the relief of distress. What is required to check the progress of the various diseases which affect our people continuously or at intervals and to reduce the abnormal death rate is a complete revolution in the medical and sanitary services in order to bring relief to the door of the people. The government has been devoting large sums of money from year to year toward the medical and sanitary services, but the fact that its efforts have not by any means checked the progress of diseases nor reduced the death rate is sufficient proof that its methods are faulty. We have to convince the government that the more showing of large sums in the estimates each year for medical and sanitary services does not necessarily mean that the people are having the full benefit of the expenditure. As an example of its wasteful methods we have the large expenditure incurred in the erection of the Gold Coast Hospital at Acrora. The amount expended in the erection of this monument could have covered the cost of ten hospitals in parts of the country where, there is no such accommodation; it could, better still, have been incurred in the medical education of African people in England for the public service. The cost of this hospital to date is triever over $200,000, an amount sufficient to secure a full medical training to at least 100 African youths. But now we have the Gold Coast Hospital, a fine build- PLIGHT OF NEGRO IN LAND OF FREE Capable Negro Dentist Refused Office Space in Downtown Buildings in Portland, Ore. (From the Orangen Daily Journal) In an effort to find suitable quarters Dr. Elbert L. Booker, Negro dentist, who has been refused office space in a number of downtown buildings, Secretary Sayer of the Portland Association of Building Owners and Managers, has written letters to such building managers as he believes might possibly be glad to secure Dr. Booker as a tenant, but to date, according to the association's new bulletin, no satisfactory replies have been received. The bulletin said: "The incident of a graduate dentist of the colored race seeking assiduously and being unable to find a suitable location in which he would be made welcome to practice his profession, has developed a problem that has embarrassing features for three sides—one, for the young man who is the principal involved. He seems to be a high-class young man of excellent appearance and dress. "The better buildings do not desire him as a tenant because they visualize the harm that may come to their incomes if their buildings are used to any great extent by Negroes. Many patients of that race are quite able to pay the price of first-class service, if they can get it, but the average dentist fears a reputation for catering to colored people. "On the other hand, many dentists would be glad to learn that a first-class practitioner of the colored race had located in the city, so that without embarrassment to themselves and to such colored clients as may come to them, they might refer them to a dentist of their own race with both confidence and assurance that they would be given competent professional treatment." Rethburgh, July 22. — Tuberculosis worried the Egyptian doctors in the time of the Pharaohs fully as much as the disease had modern physicians and was able a source of trouble to medicine during the Attician Golden Age. Professor Sir Stinghams Davy Rollson, of Cambridge, said in an address before the British Medical Association here today. There is evidence, Professor Rollson said, of smallpox eruption on a mammary of 1,140 B. C. Tuberculosis days in Egypt were also erupted in this way, he said. ing to look at, no doubt, but which is of parochial utility to the inhabitants of Accra and its neighborhood while thousands perish in other parts of the country for lack of doctors to attend to their alliments. A Grave Problem The grave problem confronting the country which has got to be solved without further delay is the provision of medical workers adequate to meet the requirements of its 2% million people. The provision of a European staff is out of the question as the cost will be prohibitive and not commensurate with the advantages to be derived. We are, therefore, driven to concentrate our attention upon the creation of a large African staff, some hundreds of fully qualified, but not second grade doctors to help stem the rising tide of mortality. A fair proportion of this staff must be women doctors whom we need as much as the men. In addition to this there should be established a large body of African chemists or dispensers to supplement the efforts of the qualified doctor both in town and village. The village dispenser is far more indispensable than the village postmaster, and there is no reason why the latter is abroad while the former is conspicuous by his absence. The arrival of the village dispenser or chemist is long overdue, and the time has come to install him where his services are so sorely needed. When we have set up this staff of qualified African doctors, with its auxiliary, the dispensers or chemists in town and village, we should combat diseases successfully and reduce the death rate among adults and infants and render the health conditions tolerable. The auxiliary force will make smooth the path of the doctor; they will deal with the simple ailments of the masses and gradually increase in them the faith in scientific application that would make for a run on the hospitals. At the present time there is nothing like a run on the hospitals which is a great drawback; nor would there be sufficient hands to deal with the rush if it took place. Haitian Envoys Arrested At Port Au Prince on Way to Labor Congress WASHINGTON, July 18.—Arrest of the Haitian delegation to the Pan-American Labor Congress it prepared to depart from Port Au Prince was reported in a telegram from the Haitian Fraternal Labor Association and read today by President William Green of the American Federation of Labor to the opening sessic. of the Congress. The message, addressed to the Dominican Delegation, said: "We want you to take interest in the cause of Haitian workers. The delegation was arrested at moment of departure with seven editors of independent papers. We expect to be advised of the solidarity of the Congress." The State Department professed to be unable to shed any light on the situation. It was said, however, that on June 24 it received a report that on instructions of President Borno of Haiti, five editors of Haitian papers had been arrested charged with publication of defamatory articles against the President and his Government. Hearings for the arrested editors by the Haitian courts started July 2, but it was not known whether the two cases were the same. President Asked to Aid Poor Filipino Children RAPID CITY. 8. D., July 22.—Needs of 16,000 neglected children in the Philippines were outlived to President Coolidge today by Mrs. Oliver Harriman, vice president, and Edward Fisher Brown, executive secretary of the Child Welfare League of America. They came here from New York. Inular mothers' pensions for the neglected, or abandoned Mestinoa, children of white fathers and native mothers, were urged on the President by Mr. Harriman and Mr. Brown. These children are left to shift for themselves, they said, and as a result many of the girls are taken by white slavens and the boys are exploited in other ways. An informal committee consisting of Mrs. Harriman, Miss Sophie Irene Loeb, of New York, and former Senator J. W. Waddworth, Jr., of New York, has been asked to prepare a plan to care for this child, welfare work and submit it to the government, if paid, following the conference.

HOW THE NEGRO IS FABING IN U.S. INDUSTRY Illinois Bill Forbids Licensing of Graduates of Schools Which Bar Students Because of Races or Color—Ups and Downs of the Negro Bulletin No. 16 of the Industrial Department of the National Urban League summarizes employment as follows: Despite the seasonal unemployment and much that has become chronic in parts of the middle west, evidences of improvement in the general occupational status of Negroes were reported for June. Because warm weather was late arriving summer reports did not offer the usual relief to students seeking work. Some of them accepted employment as helpers in industrial plants or elevator operators in clubs and hotels located in the east or middle west. A significant achievement was the passage of a bill in the Illinois Legislature placing a unique penalty upon schools which fail to accept students because of their race or color. The bill which was introduced in the House by Representative Charles A. Griffin, one of the four colored members of the Legislature, provides that no school which bans persons of any race or color can be considered in good standing by the State and that graduates of such schools cannot be admitted to take examination for licenses to practice their trades or professions. Illinois accomplished another triumph in the appointment of David Hawley as assistant superintendent of Armour Station in Chicago. This is the first time in thirty years a member of the Negro race had been so honored. In Boston a young Negro man was made manager of a store operated by a chain grocery system. A student from the A. & T. College in Greenboro, N. C. was employed in the Richmond, Indiana, plant of the International Harvester Company, the first to be employed for several years in the tool-making department of that plant. In Milwaukee a colored girl became cashier in a large key factory and the Family Welfare Society of that city employed its first colored visitor in the person of Miss Anna Howard, a graduate of Flask University. Here also the return of three foundries "The farm represents practically the only invested productive capital the race has, and as we lose grip on this the danger of our sinking to a lower level of economic serifdom is alarmingly increased," says the Norfolk Journal and Guide, whose editor maintains that "we cannot make the grudge toward economic independence so long as a lifetime of earning is offset by a lifetime of consuming. One of the most hopeful ways for the present generation to push its productive capacity beyond its consumption needs is to retrace its steps to the farm, and for those who are already on the hands to stay there and bring out of the earth the profits therein." The editor directs attention to the 1926 U. S. Congress of Agriculture, which indicates that twice as many Negroes quit the farms during the previous five years as did whites. Marine Sheets 3 in Haiti WASHINGTON, July 19.—Christian Green, Charge d'Affaires at Port Prince, Haiti, reported to the State Department tonight that Marine Private J. M. Branick, while on country duty at the Legation early today, left his post, wandered about the city and "apparently without prosecution," shot three working people, killing one, solidly wounding another and slightly sounding the third. Branick then returned to the Legation, the report said, and continued firing at random from a balcony, several shot guns, coming close to a gendermale officer, who was approaching to arrest him. The mariner is to go on trial within a few days, Green said. Theater goers all over the country admire the beautiful hair of Miss Katheryne A. Boyd of the J. Lawrence Criner Company. Miss Boyd says: "I often wondered how other women kept their hair looking so smooth and glossy until I started using Improved Philo Hair Dressing. Then I knew the secret. This delicately fragranced, fine textured preparation is easy to use, keeps my scalp healthy, and makes my hair soft, straight, silky and glossy." If everybody knew— How easy it is to make their hair long, straight and glossy using Improved Philo Hair Dressing, everyone would have beautiful hair that is easy to arrange in any manner and stays that way looking sprightly and glisty. Because this soft, delicately perfumed preparation is so economically priced everyone can afford to use. Improved Philo Hair * ALWAYS THE FIRST AND FIRST NOW THE EARTH TO USE* Susan Boyd, Theater 25 Natal Branch Enrolls 25,000 New Members in One Month—Natives Fleeking to Organization for Protection from Abuse (From The Johannesburg, S. A., Star, June 10) DURBAN.—On May 3 last there were 29,000 natives on the roll of the Natal branch of the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union, generally known as the I. C. U. Exactly a month later the number had swollen to 54,000 fully paid-up membarn, and each day sees hundreds of new entries. Subbranches are being opened every week throughout the province, and in Grey-town and Ixopo, where alarming reports of unrest of native farm laborers have been emasured, each branch has 10,000 members. "If the I. C. U. had not come into existence," said Mr. Sam Dunn, the Natal secretary of the organization, "the country would undoubtedly have been faced with a similar crisis to that of 1906. The natives have a great deal more confidence in the I. C. U. leadership today than they have either in the Native Affairs Department or in their chief." In an interview this morning with a representative of the Natal Advertiser Mr. Dunn referred to the enormous and sudden growth of the native organization during the month and to the fact that during that period he has visited and spoken at huge meetings in many centres in the territory under his jurisdiction. Proceeding, Mr. Dunn stated that the position of the poor people at Ixope and Greytown was desperate owing to the multiplicity of charges levied upon them by their farmer landlords. "I charged the Europeans at Greytown with being responsible directly for the unrest which now obtains. I discovered that many natives in that district had been given short notice to clear off their farms, and these natives have nowhere to go, for the locations in the neighborhood are full to overflowing." Mr. Dunn stated that the natives also did not understand why many of them had been used for dipping charges, and everything had concerted to make them uneasy. This, he said, was why they were welcoming an organization which was out to help the bottom dog. The speaker continued with an appeal for a more tolerant spirit toward the natives' efforts to raise themselves toward the organization which was doing nothing if not, preserving peace in difficult times. Medal to Porto Rican Soldier Sergeant Manuel Risueno, a native Porto Rican and America's best soldier at San Juan, received yesterday from Major General James H. McRae commanding the Second Corps Area, a silver medal in recognition of his perfect soldiering in the Sixty-fifth Infantry. The medal is awarded annually, and this year when it was learned that Risueno would be in New York on furlough, the commanding officer at Porto Rico forwarded the medal to General McRae for presentation here. White British Settlers Find It Difficult to Secure Free Labor in East Africa, as Natives Are Landowners— Conscription Bill Introduced to Forge Weapon to Convert Landowners Into Slaves ARMED EXPLOITERS TO CRUSH UPRISINGS Army the Bill Is Bent on Creating Must Be Untrammeled by Interference of Future British Labor Government, So Bill Deliberately Excludes Oath of Allegiance to British Sovereign KENYA (By Mail).—A Conscription Bill has been introduced here which makes military service compulsory for every white man, and does away with the oath of allegiance.. The great problem of the white settlers in Kenya, Tanganyika, and Rhodesia is to obtain a constant supply of cheap (or free) labor for the developing of big plantations. This means that the land is to be taken from the natives so that they may be forced to work for the white men and the whole of East Africa turned into a great slave plantation. This point of view is expressed in a speech by a member of the Legislative Assembly in Rhodesia, who declared: "They could not get a laboring class out of landowners. Every native in the country was a land owner and had no real necessity to go and work. Raising the tax was no remedy, because that merely made the native produce more in competition with the white men. "In this district they were employers of labor. In other countries they got their labor from the landless men, but here they had no landless men. The man who made the best use of the land was the man who had the right to it, and the white man did not conquer the country for the benefit of the native but for himself. This is the outlook of the white planters in East Africa. In Rhodesia these white men, a mere handful of the population, have secured for themselves self-government," that is, the right of unhampered exploitation of the natives; Kenya and Tanganyika are now seeking the same, and we may soon see a federation of "independent" slave States in East Africa. Fear Labor Government What these people fear most is possible interference from a Labor Government in England. The Conscription Bill has now been read a second time, the missionary representative of native interests voting for it. There is no question of the unarmed natives rising, and that the measure is intended solely to enable the armed planters to resist interi- ence by an enlightened anti-slavery Government in England is clearly hinted in a petition to the King by organized opponents of the Bill. The petition reads: "The petitioners further submit to your Majesty that the Bill now offered deliberately excludes the oath of allegiance to your Majesty. The petitioners have every reason to know that this has been done so that the military organization the Bill creates may be available untrammeled by the penalties of military law in the event of certain contingencies well known to your Majesty's Government." The inference is clear: native labor is to be forced to work for the planters. If the home Government, especially a Labor Government, attempts to interfere with the robbery and extortion involved, the planters will resist by force of arms. They expect to be supported in their rebellion by their friends at home—the upper middle-class and decendent landed aristocracy of Great Britain. Liberia Has No Reda. Not Even a Railway, SAYS Immortal C. B. D. M. LONDON, July 21.—"We have no Reds in Liberia; only whites and blacks," said Dr. Charles Burgese Dum- bar King, President of Liberia, when asked whether the Communist inlu- ence had spread to his republic. "We are not interested in trade dis- putes in Liberia," he added. "We haven't reached that stage yet. We haven't a railway yard in the whole country, but we are progressing with good roads.

Kelly Worker, July 28) NOTE—William Paris on his return to New York from Moscow, Comrade Engdahl attended the session of the French Chamber of Deputies on the day that parliamentary immunity was denied Marcel Cachin, the French Communist deputy, who is also editor of the central organ of the French Communist Party, 'Humanite. As a result Cachin has been sentenced and will serve six months in La Sante Prison as a result of the anti-militarist activities carried on by the French party during the Moroccan War. Engdahl writes of this historic event as follows: Here are his words: "I have nothing to ask from the Chamber of Deputie. I am ready to go to prison. I have been there already. A Communist is not degraded by being jailed in defence of the ideals of his party. On the contrary, the more you strike at us, the more sympathy you will create for the Communist Party and for its principles, in the minds of the working class masses. We will not cease for a moment to defend peace and fight against imperialism." Thus Marcel Cachin, editor of the French Communist daily, 'I Humanite, thundered against the imperialist reaction in the French Chamber of Deputie. An Historic Moment It was an historic moment. Only a few moments before I had been admitted to the gallery of the Chamber on the invitation of Comrade Cuchin. When I entered M. Barthou, the minister of justice, was addressing the Chamber from the Tribune, declaring that the Chamber had the power and the duty to withdraw the parliamentary immunity that is supposed to be a privilege of every deputy. Barthou, stock, slender and baldheaded, was the typical imperialist statesman. Twenty-five more pounds in weight would have made him the twin brother of Nicholas Longworth, the son-in-law of the late Theodore Roosevelt, who presides over the House of Representatives at Washington, D. G. Bartheu blushes shortly. Then the spokesmen of the various parties, of which there are many in the French chamber, are recognised in turn by the president of the chamber, Mr. Bouisson, who sits on a high dais. He is dressed in immaculate evening clothes. Speaker after speaker, especially on the extreme right, are repeatedly interrupted by shouts of derision and bitter invective, hurled at them from the left. The Communists are seated at the extreme left of the presiding officer. M. Bouisson has a long stick with which he beats upon his table to quiet the turmoil. When this fails he begins ringing a bell, rather violently, and with a great show of temper. There is plenty of noise and action in the French parliament. But there are few interruptions when Cachin speaks. He repeats the stand of the party on the Moroccan war. For that is the charge against him. The government of Policare Attorneys for Armando Borghi, who has been ordered deported from the United States to Italy where he faces death at the hands of the Fancisti have appealed to the United States Department of Labor to permit him to leave this country at his own expense for some other country of his own choosing. Borghi is a citizen of Italy who entered the United States as a temporary visitor on November 9, 1926. He is held for deportation to Italy on the charges that he remained in the United States beyond the four months allowed him and that he is an alien anarchist and is here in violation of the Immigration Act.

TOOTE, Acting President General wants to withdraw parliamentary immunity so that it can send him to prison because he had helped to carry on the Communist war against the imperialist war that had cost the lives of 10,000 soldiers, workers and farmers of France. Cachin pointed out that this sacrifice in blood had been made for the sole profit of bankers and militarism. Cachin declared that the Communists had no apologies to offer for the fight they had made. He declared that not one word uttered by the party would be retracted—the words for which several comrades were already in prison. "During the war in the Rif we called upon the soldiers of the French republic not to fight their brothers in Africa. We called upon them to say to the soldiers in Morocco: "No! We will not fight you. We will join hands with you like brothers. We are equally unfortunate with you. Let us unite instead, and fight against our common enemy! "Such was our crime. We called upon each and every soldier of the republic to say to his supposed enemy: "Wrather! I do not come to fight against you. I come to join arms with you. Like you, I am enclaved. I am armed. I have determined to strike down our common tyranny. I will be free. Do you wish to become free likewise? There is my hand!" These were the words of revolutionary fraternization that the French Communist Party urged upon French soldiers as they faced their brother workers and farmers in Marseo. Start full of Pop!

Frequent Drownings of Men Due to Taking Chances To the Editor of The Negro World: More persons were drowned in New York City last year than in any other year since 1917. The number exceeded 450. The news columns are again recording drownings with tragic frequency. It may not be generally known, but of those who met death in the water last year, there were 32 men to every woman. Does this mean that men are more rocklean than women? At least, in the water, they are more venturesome. Perhaps, little can be done to alter this male propensity to take chances, but, we believe, If The Negro World will call attention to these facts it may be the means of preserving precious lives. If good swimmers will strike out for shore and safety at the first sign of tiring, and if those who are not strong swimmers will take care never to get beyond their depth, there will be fewer such trapped. Men and boy swim- more often overtax their strength and take chances which may involve them in deeper peril. Women swimmers, as a rule, do not. The results are seen in the drowning of 445 of the stronger sex in one year in this city as against only 21 women. One more thing: every swimmer should remember that, bad as a cramp may be, usually the most dangerous thing about it is the panic it is likely to cause victimia. If you have a cramp, don't get excited. A cramp rarely, if ever, need cripple even a fairly good swimmer. Keep your hand and make for shore—without trying to use the leg or arm which is troubling you. Many, many drownings occur because some foolish swimmers think it's sport to present they're in trouble. That happens so frequently that when someone really does get into trouble, the others think it's just some move "herroplay." Two often, we hear it said, "I did not know he was in trouble. I thought he was just feeling." Very truly yours, HENRY O. HARDING, M.D. Chairman, Mariem Tuberculosis and Health Committee. July 21, 1927. remarkable that he should accept a position hedged about as the Liberian Mission now is, and in which he is likely to find himself outranked by some white agent of the Department of State, by the Firestone interests, in the same way that the Berno government of Haiti is dominated and ordered by American interests. We do not imagine that a man of Mr. Francia' temperament and training is going to like the condition of affairs which will confront him when he settles down to work at Monrovia. Liberia, like Haiti, appears to be lost to the Negro people as an independent government—lost by the treachery and venality of its great men, so called. It is to grieve.

Because the protection given him by the American High Commission, President Borno rules the country with a long arm and high hand, full intents and purposes, it has been made to appear. President Borno is Haiti. He rules the legislature and the cabinet and incurs whom he will and for what reasons seems sufficient to him. He appears to have a special grievance against Haitian editors and a bunch of them in jail most of the time, charged with criticizing some one or other phase of his administration, or him. He appears to be a high type of low tyrant, who will brook no crossing, and will by any of his obedient servants, the people of Haiti. Things have changed greatly in Haiti during the administration of the American High Commission. In the old days a ruler such as President Borno would have lasted no longer than it was possible, dissatisfied or wronged general to get his mob together, when President Borno would have been grabbed and cut to pieces and his sins fed to the hungry dogs. The latest high-handed act of President Borno is related in a disgrace, dated at Washington July 18, sent by the Haitian Fraternity Association and read by Mr. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, at the opening session of the Mer Congress, stating that the delegates to the Pan-American New Congress, which included seven editors, had been arrested and were prepared to depart for the United States to attend the congress. This dispatch does not state why they were and did. But the message, addressed to the Dominican delegation, that they take "interest in the cause of Haitian workers," for Haiti appears to have no future as a Negro republic. Here, with the exception of the immortal Touissaint L'Ouverture, he to have fallen far short of the high calling, which is in such usual administration of a sovereign republic. NAPPING AND FLOGGING WHITE PERSONS IN THE SOUTH GROWING IN FAVOR We notice with more or less interest that kidnapping white persons and flogging them severely and leaving them on the highways to shift for themselves, the victims being by white women and youngsters, is growing in favor in Georgia and Florida, States noted for mob lawlessness in the past. Rich Negroes were for the most part the victims. In a dispatch Atlanta the New York Sun catalogs some twenty flogging cases in three States, with only one conviction. There have been three flogging cases in Alabama and two in Florida, added to five they revealed in Georgia, the Sun declares, which "indicate an indictment in this method of reform in the South." The white victims are used with being immoral for the most part, and their youngsters come in for a share of punishment because of the sins of their victims. "Lynching of Negroes has taken a back seat, while hooded, hooded bands choose white victims from homes and the street slip them," says the Sun account. There does not appear to be any sufficient law in any one of the States to meet the floggers and put them out of business. This mainly true because the flogging business has heretofore preserved for the poor Negro, whom the whites usually consist of being outside of law and legal process and amenable to mob which is no law at all. But laws will be enacted in short order to protect white women and children from being flogged, and the that protects them must also protect the Negro. Out of the business some good may come. PRESIDENT BORNO of Haiti is not popular with his people, because, it is claimed, he is not a citizen of Haiti and was placed in office, and is kept in office, by and with the assistance of General Russell, the American high commissioner. Because of the protection given him by the American High Commission, President Borno rules the country with a long arm and high hand. To all intents and purposes, it has been made to appear, President Borno is Haiti. He rules the legislature and the cabinet and imprisons whom he will and for what reasons seems sufficient to him. He appears to have a special grievance against Haitian editors and has a bunch of them in jail most of the time, charged with criticizing some one or other phase of his administration, or him. He appears to be a high type of low tyrant, who will brook no crossing of his will by any of his obedient servants, the people of Haiti. Things have changed greatly in Haiti during the administration of the American High Commission. In the old days a ruler such as President Borno would have lasted no longer than it was possible for a dissatisfied or wronged general to get his mob together, when President Borno would have been grabbed and cut to pieces and his remains fed to the hungry dogs. The latest high-handed act of President Borno is related in a dispatch, dated at Washington July 18, sent by the Haitian Fraternal Labor Association and read by Mr. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, at the opening session of the Labor Congress, stating that the delegates to the Pan-American Labor Congress, which included seven editors, had been arrested as they were prepared to depart for the United States to attend the labor congress. This dispatch does not state why they were arrested. But the message, addressed to the Dominican delegation, asks that they take "interest in the cause of Haitian workers."

KIDNAPPING AND FLOGGING WHITE PERSONS IN THE SOUTH GROWING IN FAVOR WE notice with more or less interest that kidnapping white persons and flogging them severely and leaving them on the highways to shift for themselves, the victims being mostly white women and youngsters, is growing in favor in Georgia, Alabama and Florida, States noted for mob lawlessness in the past, in which Negroes were for the most part the victims. In a dispatch from Atlanta the New York Sun catalogs some twenty flogging cases in the three States, with only one conviction. There have been thirteen new flogging cases in Alabama and two in Florida, added to five already revealed in Georgia, the Sun declares, which "indicate an increase in this method of reform in the South." The white victims are charged with being immoral for the most part, and their youngsters have come in for a share of punishment because of the sins of their mothers. "Lynching of Negroes has taken a back seat, while hooded and unhooded bands choose white victims from homes and the street to whip them," says the Sun account. There does not appear to be any sufficient law in any one of the three States to meet the floggers and put them out of business.

EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Too many members of the race have met with much individual success and have contributed to the building of big business and other organizations which are a credit to thrift, fraugality and business acumen of themselves and to the race have not yet learned to keep their personal feelings, grievances and animosities, out of institutions they serve, but not altogether their own. Too many have not learned to disagree on one thing and agree on another.—Louisville Leader. Conditions change from year to year and from time to time. Keep abreast with these things and remember if you do not vote you simply do not count. You are on the outside.—Cleveland Call. Unorthodox ideas have always found their difficulties in a world of such a conventionally solid hue. Cries of radicalism and heresy prevent close examination of our social and religious fabric.—Atlanta Independent. No people who have not a strong intellectual grasp, and an unchanging will to overcome apparently inaccurate mountable obstacles, may hope to materially change the untoward conditions which hamper them.—Washington Tribune. Many a difficulty could be easily solved by quietly sitting down and talking it over in a Christian and brotherly spirit with those concerned. Many a seeming error could be corrected; many a seeming dark thing cleared up; many an untruth analyzed and spotted at its source, if the subject is approached in the spirit of Christ.—Star of Zion. The subtle effects of the reaction may not first appear, but there is an inevitable outcome that always follows in the wake of lawfulness practiced with public reaction whether it be on the defenseless Negro or the defenseless contingent of any other race. The habit of winning at lawfulness as practiced on the southern Negro is bearing the fruit of years of accumulated tendencies organized in the social fabric of the south, and white.

THE local conventions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, called to meet from Sunday, July 31, to Sunday, August 14, inclusive, are now, as The Negro World comes off the press, in full motion. The opening sessions in New York were grand and impressive, and we are persuaded that the opening sessions in the other locals were equally so. A splendid program, covering the varied interests of the locals, was suggested in advance by Acting President-General Fred A. Toote, so that the locals could have plain sailing along an adequately charted course of helpful discussions and wise conclusions concerning matters of vital moment to the association, and we expect to hear that all along the far flung line of locals great enthusiasm and hopefulness prevailed and helped to shape the final work so that the best results may be the outcome of it all. There will be present everywhere a general feeling of regret that President-General Marcus Garvey is not free to take an active part in the meetings of the local conventions. The inspiration of his presence and the magic of his voice will be missed by all, who, however, will feel that he is present with the members of the locals in the spirit, although absent in the flash, and there will be comfort in the feeling. We believe that the outcome of the local conventions will be for the general good of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and therefore, of the Negro race, and that will be great gain. Now is the time to build stronger the locals and to stand by the parent body in the great work of the association. LIBERIA AND THE NEW UNITED STATES MINISTER WE are all more or less interested in the Republic of Liber on the west coast of Africa, which was settled by satisfied American Negroes under the supervision of American Colonization Society, to which some of the best and gr We are all more or less interested in the Republic of Liberia, on the west coast of Africa, which was settled by dissatisfied American Negroes under the supervision of the American Colonization Society, to which some of the best and greatest Americans of their times belonged. Liberia was intended to be a place of refuge for dissatisfied Negroes and their descendants, who had been stolen from their native land and enslaved in some one of the countries of the New World. Liberia is one of the two independent Negro countries in existence and is a member of the League of Nations. But Liberia has never prospered as European colonies in Africa have. Some of these latter, especially the English colonies, have prospered by leaps and bounds. They have grown great and wealthy, and one of them, the Union of South Africa, has attained to independent sovereignty as one of the four dominions of the British Empire. The Negro has been subordinated to European administration and viciously color-barred in his economic as in his civil rights, his lands taken from him and his labor practically confiscated, for the benefit of the European white squatters. It is quite a long story as to why Liberia has not prospered as the white colonies in Africa have; but the glaring fact stands out that Liberia has failed to become the place of refuge for the oppressed Negroes of the world its philanthropic promoters designed it to be. It has really become a place where American Negroes who have sought refuge there find it difficult to remain there and keep out of jail, if they do not subscribe submissively and entirely to the will of President King and his adherents, who have usurped the functions of the government and turned a democracy into an autocracy, as we understand it from persons who have recently returned to this country from Liberia. Liberia has been much in the public eye of late. The recent election, in which the King faction was said to be victorious, is claimed by the Faulkner faction, which opposed President King, to have been accomplished by wholesale frauds, and the matter is now in the courts for final determination. The order of President King driving American missionaries out of the country, and the invaluable concession of rubber lands to the Firestone Company, came along before the election, and created a situation which is yet in the seethar. While Liberia is in an uproar as a result of all the doings we have related President King and his family and a staff of officials are doing Europe on a royal scale, and the war debt of the country to the United States, it has been announced, has been paid to the last penny. of this, announcement has been made that President has designated Mr. William T. Francis of Minnesota to President Resident and Consul General to Liberia. Mr. is a republic, upstanding Negro, a lawyer, and it is quite the Negro is the worst sufferer, he is not by any means the only one.—Birmingham Reporter. If you can't stop the band wagon, then jump on it and ride. Don't let it leave you standing there.—Tampa Bulletin. We are optimistic—beyond measure—if we will give the people the program, and will tell them where the money goes. For the American Negro has an affection for Africa the depths of which have never yet been sounded, and the value of which only the future will know.—Christian Record. If the colored man be denied equal rights, tomorrow other groups may be denied the same equal standing before the law. There is a race problem. There will always be a race problem, just as there will be a religious problem. It will last as long as prejudice and hate rule human affairs. It will disappear when tolerance and reason, instead of hate and bigotry and fascism, really rule our decisions.—Black and White Chronicle.

NURSE OF NEW ORLEANS DEV. R. R. Burkham, executive secretary. New that the big powers have their representatives at Geneva palaveng over the ratios of their respective focus the world is banning with suggestions of how peace can be maintained and criticizing the hypocritical restraints whose published intentions are farthest away from their hearts. One of the most outstanding suggestions for world peace this week has come from America's greatest critic—H. L. Mengken: "Let the United States, which is now richer and stronger than any other nation, and perhaps richer and stronger than all of them put together, prepare such vast and horrible armaments that they are irresistible. Then let it launch them against France, or some other such chronic trouble maker, and proceed to give the victim a sound beating. And then let it announce quietly that war is adjourned, and that the next nation which prepares for it will get another and worse dose of the same medicine. "This scheme would more nearly approximate the course of justice within civilized states than any of the world courts, leagues of nations and other such fantasies that now entertain sentimentalists—many of them with something to sell. The courts are obeyed among us, not because there is any colony peace among italians to respect their flats but simply and solely because they have force behind them." Mr. Monckton also makes another suggestion which would not create so much animosity between the strong nations and would be less expensive than whipping France or England: "I believe that the United States could put an end to this unpleasant situation and at no great cost or risk. If it started tomorrow to arm in earnest, no other nation could hope to keep up with it; they'd all be bankrupt in two years. If they tried to hold the peace. This fast became obvious at the close of the World War, when even England, the richest of the contests and the one that had precluded meat by the war, now clearly that she could not keep up with Uncle Sam on the sea. So she had her agents in Washington root hard for the Disarmament Conference that silly American patriotism had already proposed, and the result was that the United States agreed to keep the American foot down to the level of the English Root. "This was a great felly. It left England still able to dream of tockling and butchering the scoured Yankees, and so opened the way for more war. If the United States had built twenty or thirty battleships and then employed them to sink all the English and Japanese battleships there would be peace in the world today, and it would be genuine. True enough, the English would have yelled blue murder and called upon God to witness that they were being undone by an international criminal, but they'd have get over it quickly, and by this time they'd have become used to keeping peace." According to Mr. Mencken's proposal the world would then be at the mercy of the United States of America, but not for long, as the eraslift powers with revenge ranking in their hearts would use the peoples of Asia by stealthy methods to menace America from the Pacific side, while they are European nations would through necessity unite and attack her from the Atlantic side. Nothing would unite European nations quicker than the nightmare of an American ogre, and a united Europe would then make big promises to Asia in order to keep Uncle Sam busy in the Pacific looking after the Philippines, Hawaii and Guam. It should not be forgotten that America has fifteen million colored people here who are outraged and massacred daily by her white population; they are citizens in name only, yet this is the country that Mencken would like to have the world at its mercy. And, prithee, what would be the attitude of this disgruntled group if America was menaced on both oceans? The dope that was handed out to them in the last war about "making the world safe for democracy" would have to be a little stronger now for the patients. Methinks they would ask "Dr. Uncle Sam" for something new called "Making America safe for the Negro." America must first put her house in order before she can talk about policing Europe. FAITH Ever since we have been able to remember, we have been told to have faith. Have faith in the inherent goodness of things and everything will come out all right. Keep the faith and you will conquer all things. From our youth up we have tried to keep the faith. As an abstract proposition keeping faith sounds well. As an academic question it gives certain a wonderful opportunity to display their desirable ability. But like most apparent propositions it must be applied in a practical way or the benefits which might otherwise source will be lost. We have had faith in almost everything. Have faith by the Constitution? Diversity. Have faith in the Capital? Uninterrupted. Have faith in Education? Always. Have faith in "Good What Faith?" Diversification. Have faith in Industry? Absolutely. In all these things we have been debilitated. And there is one thing we can do. We do not have faith in ourown. And in exact proportion as you do get have faith in ourselves we have faith. More exact of these words have been built in so deeply as possible in the history in India. We have constructed India.

C., is of interest to the Race because of its educational institution, Shaw University and St. Augustine's School. To Democrats it is a sacred shrine, being the home of the "Raleigh News and Observer," the proud child of Josephus Danish. From the city directory we learn that "The city of Raleigh, capital of the State, in the heart of North Carolina program. It is a commercial and educational center. Its growth and progress during the past few years have been rapid and substantial. Aside from its great advantages as a commercial and distributing center, which is responsible for its rapidly increased development, it is a city that abounds in historical traditions and is the pride of North Carolina. The estimated population is 28,000." The hub of Negro activities is to be found on R. Hargelt Street, between Payetteville and Mount Streets. Here are the principal business houses, a large number of which are located in the Lightner Building and Lightner Arcade. Among others are the Mechanics and Farmers Bank, Mr. Chan, R. Frasier, cashier; The Fidelity Clothing Store Co., Britten R. Pierce, president, M. F. Frasier, secretary-manager; The Raleigh Shoe Co., Mr. Jerome Turner, manager; the V. C. Hamlin and Mallett drug stores, the Arcade Hotel, the Organs Printing Co., and the Jamestown Tailoring Co., of which Mr. M. Massenberg is manager and proprietor. This is one of the most modern establishments of its kind in the city, 80 per cent of its trade being white. On Bount Street are a number of smaller enterprises, but the Masonic temple and a part of Shaw University are landmarks of this thoroughfare. The outstanding personality around which the economic life of our group revolves is Mr. Calvin R. Lightner, pioneer business man and capitalist. He owns the buildings which bear his name as well as other valuable realty buildings. Another interesting character is Mr. R. R. Max. Iton, distinguished architect, a graduate of Hampton and Chicago University. He won national reputation for work done years ago for Virginia distillers and passed upon commendably by the Internal Revenue Department. There are two Race Journals published in the city—the Carolina Tribune and the Union Reformer, the latter a religious weekly published by the Baptists of the State. The Royal Theatre, a white concern, is the only movie house run exclusively for colored people; yandeville shows are given occasionally. U. N. L. A. in Full Swing The U. N. I.

I had the pleasure of impinging the blue as approved by the State Commissioners. During my pleasant stay in North Carolina, the efforts being put forward by the white press special display of crimes committed by Negro therian issue of the "Groenehare News" carried same week more than a dozen Negroes had won in reputable institutions throughout the country. Baleigh News and Oberver is the most victorious from our group. The Kinston Daily News carried front page of the mob and its leader who shot guntons on July 4.

A. is highly esteemed by all classes of the community, the churches and business men in particular being intensely interested in our economic and educational programs. This writer addressed hundreds of people at the following churches by invitation: First Baptist, Rev. O. S. B. Bullock, pastor; Tupper Memorial, Rev. R. M. Sanders, pastor; Mayple Temphe Christian, Rev. R. M. King, pastor, and Payetville Street Baptist, Rev. Miller Jones, pastor. Most impiring was the sympathy and good will expressed for the Hon. Marens Garvey and his early release. Under the leadership of Mr. M. Manserberg, Daley division is forging ahead. It has just perfected a building program for 1992. On an impinging place of ground 36075 feet on Lamar Street, dedicated by Mrs. Margaret Dickson, the energetic Lady President, is to be erected a beautiful Liberty Hall, with basement, to cost $30,000, the main and器ium to cost 1,600. Mr. R. M. Hamilton, also an active member, is the architect. I had the pleasure of importing the blue print, which has already been approved by the State Commissioners. During my pleasant stay in North Carolina I was greatly impressed with the efforts being put forward by the white press to foster race prejudice. Special display of crimes committed by Negroes is a specialty. One particular issue of the "Greenshore News" carried six moth reports, while that same work more than a dozen Negroes had won high scholastic attainments in reputable institutions throughout the country on which it was client. The Raleigh News and Chamver is the most victims of all and mortis no respect from our group. The Kinston Daily News carried a full size picture on its front page of the mob and its leader who shot down Broadus Miller of Morgantown on July 4. Miller is said to have attacked an innocent white girl. It is alleged by responsible white people that Miller was deliberately murdered by the leader of the mob, that he was without a gun, and offered no assistance when discovered in his hiding place. A bitter controversy now rages over the circumstances surrounding his tragic end. But in fairness to the government of North Carolina it must be said that what the prophey in moral courage and vision, it has greatly manifested in its appropriations for Negro education. Modern fireproof school buildings grace the lowest of villages and the State cannot be too highly commended for locencing up its purse strings to reduce the illiteracy of its citizens, white and colored, which is still too high. And yet education alone will not improve the civilization of the South in so far as the freedom of its colored citizenry is concerned. Unless the South is ready to accord them their rightful place within the nation, then education is of no avail. New Atmosphere in Norfolk, Va.

Eulogy is that deserved applause which springs from the virtues and attaches itself to the characters of men. This is not intended other as a biography or a eulogy, but simply a sketch of one whose history has hitherto been neglected, hard to the memory of whom the American people are not prepared to do justice. On one of the oldest and largest plantations in Southampton County, Virginia, owned by Bankman Turner, Eug. Nat was born a slave, on the 14 of October, 1800. His parents were of umbilical African descent. Surrounded as he was by the superstition of the slave quarters, and being taught by his mother that he was born for a prophet, a preacher, and a deliverer of his race, it was not strange that the child should have imbibed the principles which were afterwards developed in his career. He early impressed with the belief that he had seen visions, and received communication direct from God, he, like Napoleon, regarded himself as a being of deity. In his childhood Nat was of an amiable disposition: but circumstances in which he was placed as a slave, brought out incidents that created a change in his disposition and turned his kind and docile feeling into the most intense hatred of the white race. Being absent one night from his master's plantation without a pass, he was caught by Whittlock and Mull, the two district patrolers, and severely flagged. This act of cruelty infamed the young slave, and he resolved upon having revenge. Getting two of the boys of a neighboring plantation to join him, Nat obtained a long rope, went out at night on the road through which the officers had their boat, stationing his companions one on each side of the road, he stretched the rope across, fastening each end to a tree and drawing it tight. Her ropa thus fixed, and his accomplices instructed how to act their part, Nat started off up the road. The night being dark and the rope only six or eight inches from the ground, the slave felt sure that he would give his enemies a "high fall." Nat, hearing them, he called out in a disguised voice, "Is dat you, Jim?" To this, Whittlock replied, "Yes, Jim!" COMING AT CRICKET!

Waiting until the white men were near him, Nat started off upon a run, followed by the officers. The bay had placed a smoke of white paper in the road, so that he might know at what point to jump the rope, so as not to be caught in his own trap. Arriving at the signal he sprang over the rope, and went down the road like an antelope. But not so with the white men, for both were caught by the lage and thrown so hard upon the ground that Mull had his shoulder put out of joint, and his face terribly incarcerated by the fall, while Whitlock's left wrist was broken, and his head bruised in a shocking manner. Nat hurried home, while his companions did the name, not forgetting to take with them the clothes line which had been no serviceable in the conflict. The patrolers' were left on the field of battle, crying, swearing and calling for help. Snow seismic falls as far south as the southern part of Virginia; but when it does the boys usually have a good time snow-balling, and on such occasion the slaves, old and young, women and men, are generally poled without mercy and with no right to retaliate. It was only a few months after his affair with the patrolmen, that Nat was attached by a gang of boys, who chased him some distance, snow-balling with all their power. The slave boy know the lads and determined upon revenge. Waiting until night, he filled his pockets with rocks and went into the street. Very soon the same gang of boys were at his heels and petting him. Concealing his face so as not to be known, Nat discharged his rocks in every direction, until his enemies had all taken to their heals. The ill treatment he experienced at the hands of the whites, and the visions he claimed to have caused, Nat to avoid, as far as he could, all intercourse with his fellow-slaves, and throw around him a groom and melan- choly that disappeared only with his life. $^8$ Both the young slave and his friends averred that a full knowledge of the alphabet came to him in a single night, impressed with the belief that his mission was a religious one, and this impression strengthened by the advice of his grandmother, a pious but ignorant woman, Nat commenced preaching when about twenty-five years of age, ATTTRACTION!

THE NORTH WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1997 but grew upon beyond the age man could bear. In college he will be the widest open long enough to develop and progress around him the African sunken. A gleamy fire burned in his boots, and he had a mechanically expression of consternation. He never nested a drop of ardent sprites in his life, and was never known to smile. In the year 1838 new visions appeared to Nat, and he claimed to have direct communication with God. Unlike most of those born under the influence of slavery, he had no faith in conquest, fortune-telling, or dreams, and always spoke with contempt of such things. Being hired out to owl masters, he ran away, and remained in the woods thirty days, and could have really escaped to the free states, as did his father some years before, but he received, as he mays in his confession, a communication from the spirit, which said, "Return to your earthly master, for he who knew his Master's will, and doeth it not, shall be beaten with many strips." It was not the will of his earth, but his heavenly Master that he felt bound to his heaven, and therefore Nat returned. His fellow-slaves were back in the heavens, and blood flowed in streams; and I heard a voice saying, "Such is you luck; and such are you called on to see; and it let come, rough or smooth, you must surely bear it." Some time after this Nat had, as he says, and her vision, in which the spirit appeared and said, "The serpent is loosed, and Christ has laid down the yoke he has borne for the sins of men, and you must take it up, and fight against the serpent, for the time is fast approaching when the first shall be last, and the last shall be first." There is no doubt but that this last sentence filled Nat with enthusiastic feeling in favor of the liberty of his race, that he had no long dreamed of. "The last shall be first, and the first shall be last" seemed to him to mean something. He saw in it the overthrow of the whites, and the establishing of blacks in their steed, and to this end he bent the energies of his mind. In February, 1831. Nat received his last communication, and behind his last vision. He said, "I was told I should arise and prepare myself, and slay my enemies with their own weapons." (To be continued) (Continued from page 2) to full time work schedules provided employment for more than 200 men in jobs formerly occupied by them. Baltimore witnessed the innovation in one of the city's offices of two typists and one other clerical opening was reported. In Kansas City the packing houses and the American Radiator Company hired more colored men than at any time recently. In St. Louis the shift from white to colored workmen on street paving jobs began when the temperature mounted to 30 degrees—a system practiced there for several years. In Lexington, Ky., Negro brick-masons and plumbers are kept busy on the largest jobs in the city. In New London, Conn., Negro waiters temporarily replaced white waiters when they disagreed with the headwaiter until white waiters from New York could be brought in for permanent employment. The management claimed that the patrons objected to being served by colored waiters. An idea of the occupational diversification of Cleveland Negroes was obtained from the placement figures of the Negro Welfare Association. This Association found employment in thirty-six different lines of work for males and twenty for females. Seventy-five different employers called for male help and ninety for female help. A new hotel which opened in June employed colored maids and elevator operators. A Post Office Department appointed two colored men as foremen in the New York district. A colored woman has been made traveling instructor for a novelty paper company. She will travel in the South. Another New York company is seeking colored salesmen to handle its wares, a policy it has been reluctant to adopt. When the management of a theatre in New York whose patronage is 75 per cent. colored, discovered the racial identity of its ticket seller she was discharged. Some department stores in Philadelphia substituted white tea room girls for colored. In Buffalo the fruitman shops, one of the largest employers of Negro labor in that city, laid off a large number of men. Many workers have left the city for railroad construction centers. Tampa, Fla., reported a continuous substitution of white labor for Negro. This is true of mental workers as well as industrial workers. NIGROES OF SOUTH AFRICA! TAKE NOTICE! You are warrior against an individual who calls himself Dr. Wellington and claims to represent us. This man is an impostor. Our only agent in South Africa is Mr. JACK BARNARD of 178 COMMISSIONER STREET, JOHANNESBURG. High Commissioner's Message to U.N.I.A. Divisions and Chapters in Republics of Panama and Costa Rica By S. J. E. ST. ROSE Fallowmen of my race, Greetings: A few days ago nearly all, if not all of us joined in celebrating the Independence Day of a great nation. And as we listened to the patriotic orations by her beloved citizens we cheered for joy. When the silver-tongued eraser mounted the platform, cleared his throat and recalled to us passages from the great Declaration of Independence, how we trembled with emotion! How we felt wafted to the heights as he stressed with ringing tones, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." But, my friends, how many of you thought of yourself? How many of you went home and read the Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World? I wish you all did, for now you could look back with credit on your memorable celebration of that grand and glorious Fourth. Fellowmen, please know that as a people we too desire untrammeled liberty, even as the American people are now enjoying and in support of this statement, allow me to quote passages from Our DECLARATION, as drawn up at a convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in 1920 at New York, over which the Hon. Marcus Garvey presided: "Be it known to all men that whereas, all men are created equal and entitled to the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and because of this we, the duly elected representatives of the Negro peoples of the world, invoking the aid of the just and Almighty God to declare all men, women and children of our blood throughout the world free citizens, and do claim them as free citizens of Africa, the Motherland of all Negroes. "That we believe the Negro, like any other race, should be governed by the ethics of civilization, and therefore, should not be deprived of any of those rights and privileges common to other human beings." If we remember correctly the words of the American patriots on that notable day, I am sure you will recall the sentiments they expressed. FLOOD RELIEF PROBLEM In discussing flood relief some six weeks ago Mr. Hoover said, "Our Problem does not end when the waters of the Mississippi have receded." Subsequent events have emphasized the accuracy of this statement. In the Lower Mississippi Valley the needs of the refugees are so urgent as ever. Much of the land is still under water. The first railway train since April 22 reached Greenville, Miss., on Saturday. Along the Atchafalaya River in Louisiana the flood waters are still coursing through the crevasses, and several more weeks must elapse before train service is restored. Large numbers of refugees will not be able to plant even emergency crops of quiet-maturing vegetables. They face a winter without income. The only assistance planned for them so far besides relief from the Red Cross is a system of local credit funds, which it was originally estimated might amount to $7,000,000 for the three States of Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. If this entire amount had been made available it would have been far from adequate, as it represented an average of only $14 for each refugee in those States. But no such sum has been made available. The loans negotiated so far have been negligible—a small number in Arkansas and practically none in Louisiana and Mississippi. The borrowers cannot give the security that is asked when their lands are under water and the rest of their property is damaged or destroyed. Since these private financial agencies have proved unable to cope with the enmity, the only agency which can meet it is the Federal Government. It is the plain duty of the President and Congress to waste no time in planning for the adequate rehabilitation of the three-quarters of a million people who have been restored desitétle through no fluke of their own—New York World. BREKLIN, July 18—"We will press our rights to be regarded as citizens of the country to which we belong," Dr. Larry McLennan, director of the Central Union of German Citizens of the Jewish Religion, stated today with reference to the organization's present against United States immigration rules. as embodied in the paragraph I quoted, for the welfare of their people. We cannot deny the fact that America rose to her present position on account of the love her people displayed for her, which on many occasions resulted in the sacrifice of their lives. They took their Declaration of Independence as a daily guide, and dedicated their lives to uphold the principles it expressed. They felt that any departure from the sentiments outlined would be but a weapon to forever keep them down. We are no different from these people, or any other people who have made their bid for freedom. We have the same powers at our command, the same instruments they used to clear the obstacles from their path are in our possession. But are we using them? If so, how? These are not questions to be hurriedly skipped over, these are questions that should confront every right thinking Negro man and woman daily. For our destiny lies in the answer we can give. We are men and women who have seen the light of freedom. The advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was the means to waken us from a lethargic state, and give us the courage to blast our way to victory. Let us therefore assert our manhood, and establish ourselves in human civilization. Nothing easily gained is highly esteemed. That is why men and women show patriotic feelings to the countries they claim, because it is a known fact that the freedom they are now enjoying was not easily gained. Trace the histories of all the great powers of today and we will find that the "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" they now revel in was bought with the life-blood of their ancestors. I will admonish you to: celebrate the Independence Day of any nation you care to by studying the DECLARATION OF RIGHTS of the NEWOR PEOPLE OF THE WORLD; and when you observe others getting hysterical with joy for their privilege of communicating so glorious a day, renew your pledge to uphold to the letter your own Declaration. ST. LOUIS READY TO HOUSE BUSINESS LEAGUE DELEGATE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Ala., July 22.—The City of St. Louis, Mo., which is to be host to the twenty-eighth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, August 10, 11, 12, is prepared to take care of visiting delegates at reasonable rates, according to word received here by Albon L. Holsey. Secretary of the League. Accommodations in hotels and private homes are adequate and can be secured at the uniform rate of $2 a day. This rate does not include meals. Visiting delegates are advised to proceed to the League headquarters, 911 North Vandeventer avenue, where they will register and be assigned to quarters. An information bureau will be maintained in the Union Station with Boy Scouts as guides to direct visitors. Local leagues are urged to send forward to the St. Louis League at its headquarters, the names and, number of persons expecting to attend from their respective leagues. The St. Louis League gives assurance that everything possible is being done to see that the visitors have a happy stay while attending the conference. A new tendency in the ranks of the American Legion toward "old-fashioned" constitutional American free speech is revealed in an article by Rupert Hughes in the July issue of the American Legion Monthly and in an editorial by William Allen White of the Emporia Gazette, quoted in the same issue. Commenting on the action of the Legion of Emporia in refraining from interfering with an address in that town by a young militant pacifist, an ex-soldier, Mr. White says in part: "The fine thing about the Legion-naires in Emporia is that without threat, without hindrance, without the slightest disturbance from the men who disengaged with him, this young militant pacifist spake his plea, and his army, described his creed, presented his argument, and went his way from Emporia to the next town. "Free speech is one of the American guarantees of the American Constitution. Sometimes it is hard to keep the guarantee but it is always imperative to keep it; and the Guarantee demands to tip a respectful hat to the Legion boys of Humperia." regulation of the American immigration law demanding that the question "me or people?" be answered with "Below," we regard as an unfortunate act. "We are always willing to term ourselves as belonging to the Jewish loot, of which we are proud. But the destination of Jewish nationality we reject decisively. We have only one nationality—German—and return to be made members of our other nation."

Alabama Outrages Shock Nation —Whipping Post Pressed Into Service to Compel Negro to Dispose of Valuable Land BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 13.—Another link was added today to the chain of Alabama flogging when evidence was given Jefferson County authorities that Arthur Hitt, a Negro farmer, had been severely whipped by a band of masked men and frightened into disposing of a tract of land for a sum far beneath its value. Hitt was taken from his home, strapped to a tree and beaten unmercifully in what Sheriff Hartseld said was the "very worst of all the flogging cases" brought to his attention. The beating of the Negro followed his refusal to dispose of his small tract of land. Three days after the whipping, however, he signed away his land, he said, for $300. The story told by the Negro is being investigated by Sheriff Hartfield with a view to restoring to him his property. If it is found authentic, Solicitor Davis of Jefferson County will take action against the purchaser of the property. Meanwhile the first definite move in clearing up the whipping of Mrs. Bertha K. Slay of Florence came today with the arrest of two women and three men alleged to have been implicated in the affair. The five arrested are Mrs. Allen Butler, Mrs. Lucille Linday, Allen Butler, Charles Linday and Albert Linday. The warrants were sworn out by the chief State law enforcement officer, Walter K. McAdory, under direction of Circuit Solicitor Henry D. Jones. Mrs. Slay told officers that her husband and sister were tied in their beds, while she was taken into the yard of her home, tied to a barrel and whipped with an automobile belt. State investigators are co-operating with county officials in an attempt to clear up the whipping of Eton Murchison of Bosemer, who was taken from an automobile in which he had been riding with "two strange girls" and beaten. Murchison told authorities he thought the girls "had been maneuvered into his company" to provide a motive for the attack. Georgian Denise Flogging TOCCOA, Ga., July 12.—Elmer Clark, a railroad employee, took the stand today and denied participation in the flogging of Mrs. Anselby Bowers, for which he is being tried on a charge of assault with intent to murder. Clark related that he had been at his home nursing his sick child at the time the State centends a masked and robed band of men seized Mrs. Bowers and her 15-year-old son, Lloyd, carried them to a lonely spot and whipped them. Several witnesses have testified in support of Clark's alibi. They told the jury that not only was Clark at his home with his sick child on the night of the flogging, but that W. G. Acree, who was convicted of assault and battery in connection with the flogging, was doctoring a sick cow at the home of a neighbor. Three men, T. R. Lowry, Charles Thomas and Claude Groover, are yet to be tried. No child has committed a crime through the accident of birth. It is no crime to be born white or black, legitimate or illegitimate.—Kansas City Call. SABRA HANDMADE MICE SHARLY CHRISTMAS New Zealand Governor's Order for Arrest of Chiefs Brings Demand for Inquiry LONDON, July 18.—Trouble between Major Gen. Sir George Richardson, Governor of Siam under the League of Nations mandate to New Zealand, and the hereditary chiefs of the island made famous by Robert Louis Stevenson have reached such a pitch, according to cables reaching London, that New Zealand newspapers demand a searching inquiry. Three more Samoa chiefs, according to a dispatch to the London Times, have just been arrested for disobeying the demands of the Governor that they leave Samoa. It is asserted by the Samoans that their ancient traditions have been put aside and that hereditary chiefs, whose cause was championed by Stevenson and who built for him the "road of the loving heart," have been degraded and banished. On the other hand, it is asserted that the Samoans are political agitators by temperament and that they are being misled. Sir Joseph Carruthers, former Premier of New South Wales, after visiting Samoa, declared: "Can I or any public man be silent when, under cover of a British Administration, there is a desalal to a subject people of those rights supposed everywhere to be associated with British rule? The position may arise to involve the credit of the British Empire under the League of Nations. "A great mistake is being committed in setting aside the right of open trial in the case of accused persons who are being condemned without an opportunity of appealing to any tribunal known to English law." Queens Rule Society Of Oklahoma Indians PAWHUSKA, Oklahoma. In frontier days women did not have much to my in the tribal councils of the Indiana. Conditions today, however, are different, and when the Society of Oklahoma Indians met here two "Queens" were selected to rule over the organization. They were Miss Label Rogers of Pawhuska, member of the Orange tribe, who was elected queen of the 1977 convention of the society, and Miss Washillah LaHay of Muskogee, who was elected "Queen of the 1928 Society of Oklahoma Indians convention." Miss Rogers represented the State of Oklahoma at the American Legion national convention in Philadelphia last fall. Miss LaHay is a member of the Cherokee tribe.

The Richmond Division has been visited from time to time from April 24 up to the present by the Hon. Richard H. Bachelor, special representative from the Parent Body. He spoke at several different churches as well as at our hall. Every time he spoke he electrified his audience. Those who heard him pronounced him a wonder and a credit to the Negro race. Words cannot express the enthusiasm he created among the members and friends and indeed you would have had to hear him to fully appreciate such a talented speaker. Too much cannot be said about this young man who is doing splendid work for us. During the many times he has visited our division we have had an increase of about fifty members. Social talent assisted in these exercises. On one occasion the Municipal Band, led by Prof. Scott Gawthmey, kindly rendered special music, which was greatly enjoyed both by our speaker and the audience. We glad to mention the splendid solos rendered by Mrs. Rosa Talley. She was heartily enceded every night it was possible for her to render us a selection. With the co-operation of the Hon. Mr. Bachelor, a few of the members are interesting themselves in getting up a chapter in the central part of the city. We are working for a large division here and we feel that with the aid of the Hon. Mr. Bachelor much can be accomplished. MRS. RACILIA W. S. JONES, Reporter. TAMPA, FLA. The innovation recently started by our president, eleven o'clock prayer meeting on Sunday morning, has met with gratifying success. Sunday, July 17, found a good sized crowd in attendance at the meeting. Those attending expressed themselves as highly pleased with the results obtained and are looking forward with confidence for much ultimate good to the Division. The afternoon meeting was given over to the instruction of new members. In his lecture to the new members President J. I. Truedell dealt principally with the duties and obligations of members to the U. N. I. A., enthring them to be loyal to the organization and live, work and if need be, die for the principles of the U. N. I. A. as laid down by the Mon. Marcus Gervay. Talks by other officers were highly instructive. The choir rendered some good selections. Altogether the meeting was an enjoyable one as well as an instructive one. The evening meeting was opened with the opening ode by the choir. A large crowd was present. The Hon. Dewey A. Richardson was the principal speaker of the evening. There were short talks by Mr. O. D. Smith and Third Vice-President Blocken. Mr. Richardson told his hearters, among other things, that "every race has had its Messiah except our race." We have had several leaders in the past, continued Mr. Richardson, but none of them ever succeeded in reaching the mass of Negroes throughout the world. Mr. Garvey, he declared, is the only man who has been able to rally all Negroes the world over under one leadership and he is destined to be the Messiah of our race who shall point the way to our redemption and to a place in the sun, along side of other races on a footing of equality. A delightful program was rendered. We had one new member. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the national anthem. JOHN H. CLAY, Reporter. MONTHLY SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION: WAYS AND MEANS OF BECOMING ECONOMICALLY INDEPENDENT IN ONE'S PARTICULAR COMMUNITY FLORIDA, CUBA The Florida Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is serving the genuine purpose of an oasis to the Negro traveling in this desert of oppression on his way seeking racial equity which has been deprived him. This fact has been repeatedly proven, and was well demonstrated at Sunday night's mass meeting. The president's speech on this occasion was one of the best ever delivered around this vicinity. This division needs to be proud of Mr. R. A. Martin, his president, in many ways, for since its reorganization in 1922 he has kept the doors of the hall opened unto this very day, a matter of nearly five years. And he has taught without prejudice to other societies, the true spirit of the program of the U. N. I. A. A fine gathering attended the meeting and the loud applause from in and outside the building spoke of the interesting program. After the usual opening processional the religious part of the service was conducted by Mr. J. Ewen, chaplain. The lady president read the front page of the current issue of The Negro World. Master Debut Thompson opened the program with a recitation which was followed by an anthem by the choir. Master W. Chambers read an article from the Philosophy of Marcus Garvey on "Education." Solos were rendered by Miss Coatley and the members of the Girl Guides and other addresses by Mr. A. U. M. Henry and Mr. Hypol, the latter in Spanish. The people of this locality are wide awake on matters of racial uplift and even those who are not members of the organization support the cause to a high mark of recognition, thus distinguishing themselves from others who have still to learn and realize the benefits of racial pride. CON ADJ. HQWLITT. Reporter. SAGUA LA GRANDE The Ragua La Grande Division had its regular mass meeting on Sunday, July 17. The meeting was called to order at 7:36 p.m. by the first vice-president, Mr. Horace Taylor. The opening ode was sung, and the ritualistic proceedings were conducted by the said vice-president, who acted as chaplain. A short program was prepared and was excellently tendered as follows: Song by the choir entitled "Sunshine and Rain." Reading of the Negro World by the general secretary, Mr. Simon A. Taylor, which was accompanied by a reading from the "Philosophy and Opinions of the Hon. Marcus A. Garvey." An able address was delivered by the chairman when the choirs pealed forth this beautiful song, "My King Rides Forth." Addresses were delivered by Mr. A. Laraque, and Miss Anita Anderson, lady president, followed by a selection by the choir. The collection was then taken, when two addresses were delivered by Mr. Samuel Poster and Mr. Simon A. Taylor. The chairman made announcements, and brought the meeting to a close by the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem and prayer. SIMON T. TAYLOR.

On Thursday night the meeting began in the usual manner, and opening preliminaries ensued. An enthusiastic address was delivered by Mrs. J. McCoy on the principles of the U. N. I.

KINGSTON, JAMAICA It is all so the good with our division here. The recent change of officers has put now life into it and the dry-ret from which it was suffering is fast disappearing. There is proof of it on every side. Meetings of all kinds are being better attended, our last Garvey Day exercises being gratifying evidence of the feeling of loyalty still extant among members of the race for our persecuted leader, as well as an expression of the confidence, that is already restored between the officers and members. The prospects of the division are on the whole infinitely brighter today than they were a few months ago; and if members will only keep their financial and moral obligations to the division faithfully there is no reason why we should not noon be the premier division of the West Indies. Our August celebrations are being prepared and they bid fair to break the record. They embrace everything that should interest the race, from divine service to a picnic de luxe. These celebrations will occupy 2 days. The ideas of the new regime are large and ambitious, and the personnel of the executives capable and full of initiative the best results are anticipated. The "star" item is the demonstration in the form of a procession through the city on August 1, at which all divisions and chapters will be represented. We have already secured police permission and protection. We advise every Negro in Jamaica to keep his "peepers" on the U. N. L. A. and its various activities in Kingston. There is good reason. On the 5th and 6th instant, two lantern lectures were given by Mr. J. H. Daley, a missionary touring the island, and both proved very interesting and highly instructive. Mr. Daley is a first class lecturer and full of the spirit of Carvayism though not yet active, we regret to say. So satisfactory have the results been that Mr. Daley proposes to give another lecture on the completion of the liturgy he is now on through the northern parishes of the island. We have been favored recently with visits from inayy members and officers of other divisions, notably among them are Captain Shirley and Mr. Bowen of New York, Mr. Marshallock of Montreal and Mrs. Wilhelmina Williams of Port Limon, Costa Rica. They all brought up good tidings and all received a hearty welcome from the division. It is certain that the spirit of Garveyism on the march and not even the gates of Hell will prevent it going on to the accomplishment of its alms—the redemption of Africa. Long live Garvey and success to all divisions. ARNOLD J. YECOUVRE. Reporter. PHILADELPHIA, PA. The Philadelphia Division hold its regular mass meeting Sunday afternoon, July 17, at two-thirty. Meeting opened with the processional, "Shine on Eternal Light," followed by ritualistic services conducted by the first vice president, Rev. E. H. Thomas. The mass meeting was presided over by our president, the Acting President General, Hon. Fred A. Toote. Short but inspiring addresses were delivered by several officers of the division. Mrs. Nera Thompson of Elmwood was a visitor and spoke of her recent visit to the Atlanta penitentiary and our interview with the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The Hon. Fred A. Toote was the principal speaker. He spoke at length on things relative to the economic condition of the organization. At night the usual night's meeting was held. The officers and members are still standing 100 percent for Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. God bless Africa and long live the Hon. Marcus Garvey. MRR. L: D. JOHNSON, Reporter. DAYTON, OHIO Dayton Division No. 214, U. N. I. A. and A. C. L., assembled in their regular mass meeting Sunday afternoon, July 17, 1927. Meeting was opened in the usual way. Dayton division was honored with the presence of Colonel Smith from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Division No. 299. We were greatly encouraged and inspired by Col. Smith's visit. There were many other speakers also. Announcements were made by captains of different units, also by the president. The meeting was adjourned with prayer and the singing of "The Universal Ethiopian Anthem." SAMUEL J. REID, Reporter. German Taste in Reading Shows Effects of War BERLIN (A. P.)—The world war has materially altered the German reading public's choice of books, according to the director of Berlin's largest circulating library. Works on philosophy, religious question and occultism are in great demand. An unprecedented interest in astrology, spiritualism and theosophy is noticeable. In works of fiction the older generation is inclined to be conservative and stick to old-time favorites. The younger people, in their awakening desire to familiarise themselves with the psychology and view-points of other nations, show a marked predilection for foreign authors. Books of travel and adventure, however, appeal to the young and old alike. Detective stories are popular with both. GHACEMO, C. R. On June 23 the La Africa Division of the U. N. L. A. was visited by Mr. Louis F. Lavenaire, who has been appointed by Madam M. L. T. De Meaux as captain of the Juveniles for the field of Costa Rica, under the orders of the counsel of the legions, Mr. James H. Cellina, Mr. Lavenaire was accepted according to his appointment. On June 21 he arranged a meeting which was held in Liberty Hall for constitutional instruction of the units. The meeting was well attended, with the officers, members, well-wishers and parents of the children. The meeting was opened in the usual way by the secretary' of the division and was turned over to Captain D. Howard, who greeted the friends in a short address and introduced Mr. Louis F. Lavenaire, captain of the Juveniles for the field of Costa Rica. His credentials bearing his authority by Madam M. L. T. De Mena was read by the secretary. He gave an inspiring address, concerning the U. M. L. A. and reminded his hearers of their obligations to the association in forming a nation. The meeting then resulted in constitutional instruction and electing officers of the units. Several addresses were made in appreciation of the occasion of the meeting. The secretary made the closing remarks, and the meeting closed with the national anthem. W. B. LEWIS, Reporter. English Airplane to Fly 300 Miles an Hour LONDON, July 19.-Five miles per minute-300 miles per hour-is the speed claimed for the Blue Bird, a British monoplane which will compete for the Schneider trophy against United States and Italian planes next September.

Spanish Section Las convenciones locales SECCIÓN EN ESPAÑOL per La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Rana Negra 142 West 189th St. Ciudad de Nueva York, N. Y. PROF. M. A. FIGUEROA, Editor Todo equal que tenga presente el hecho, de que cumto sem necessario hacer debe ser realizado del major modo posible, obtiene el mayor de los exitos y gosta de la confianza y resoeto de su semelante. Comoquiera que no se celebrará la convención internacional de la organización este año, sino convenciones locales de las divisions, el presidente general interino, Hon. Fred A. Toote, ha sugerido un programa mas que comprenivo con el objeto de que los miembros cooperen al gran éxito de dichas convenciones locales. Concierne exclusivamente a los miembros el realizar esto y estamos en ha seguridad de que no se manifestará un solo atomo de negligencia sobre el particular. El lema "Africa para los africanos" no es ya motivo de crítica. Es orgullo del negro el ahnolar la posición de la madre patria. Necesidad imperiosa para la resolución de los árduos problemas de la raza negra. Africa para los africanos dentro y fuera de aquel continenta, el grito épico de libertad del negro bien conocido por todos los miembros de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, es el lema nacido en la mente del negro mas grande que la raza ha producido; lema que ha inspirado a millones de negros sobre la faz de la tierra y que ha hecho cambiar las miras de esa misma raza, durante los últimos diez años de titánicos esfuerzos por su emancipación. Un variado e interesante programa se llevará a cabo el dia de la apertura de la convención local en la ciudad de Nueva York, en el cual tomarán participación distinguidas personalidades de la comunidad, con servicios religiosos por la mahana en el Liberty Hall, una gran parada por la tarde y un mes meeting por la noche en el espacioso cuartel del Regimiento Quince. Es de esperarse una gran concurrencia y un entusiasmo que demuestre la esperanza humana para la realización de grandes acontecimientos en la vida de los pueblos negros del universo. Los miembros fundadores de esta organización tienen que sentirse mas que orgullosos, del hecho de haber tenido un gran alcance visual y una gran entereza de caracter, para seguir paso a paso la bien trazada linea de conducta, impuesta a sus huestes por el martir de Atlanta. Millares y millares han sido los que han sostenido la organización desde su comienzo, e importándoseles muy poco lo adverso de la suerte, se han impuesto a las circunstancias y por encima de todo han dado un mentis al enemigo, que de una manera subprecticia ha querido desorganizar lo bien unido de la institución. Tales enemigos, tales prevadicadores tienen un asiento especial en el libro mayor de nuestras actuaciones. La palabra de pase ca: Hágase de las convenciones locales un verdadero exito. Africa para los africanos! Puede fuese este un nuevo grito cuya resonancia mortificase los oidos de alguien . . . pero a esta hora tal grito no admite novedad alguna. Fue un pensamiento sometido al ridículo hará algún tiempo; mas ahora es grito de batalla, arenga de ejército, grito irresistible de una raza que se oprime, se acrimina, negándosele los derechos mas inalienables, que es el de tener derecho a lo suyo, a su patria, a su casa, a su propia nacionalidad. Cinco personas prominentes del estado de Pennsylvania han rogado a la corte federal para que dé una orden perpetua, prohibiendo a los klans, sociedad de enmascarados, que hagan ninguna clase de negocios en dicho estado. Los peticionarios quieren ademas que se ordene a dicha sociedad secreta el que dé cuenta de todos los fondos colectados en el estado y que para ello se nombre un receptor. Es esta una idea tan real y efectiva como si dijésemos el alimento cuotidiano que necesitamos para nutrir nuestro cuerpo y nuestra mente, necesidad que se deja sentir entre los muchos millones de negros, considerados etos como una amenaza para los otros millones de la oposición. Y esta organización tiene el alto honor de haber sembrado y cultivado la semilla que eventualmente probará ser la salvación de la raza mas opresa que registra la historia del mundo. La sociedad en cuestion pidió luego a la corte una orden que prohibiera a la cinco personas antes dicias, el uso del nombre de su agrupación en sus actividades, pidiendo ademas una indemnización de cien mil pesos, cantidad que reclaman haber perdido con la propaganda usada en su contra, causando la renuncia de muchos de sus miembros. En contestación al pleito que presentan los klans, los demandados exponen que dicha sociedad secreta descuido sus propios asuntos internos, pero mandaba miembros enmascarados para intervenir en los asuntos exteriores, cometiendo crimenes en nombre de la moral y favoreciendo disturbios, raptos y derramamientos de sangre. Africa, amada por el hombre de color, esta en los labios del mundo de hoy. Esta en aquellos quienes tratarían de hacernos creer que el hombre negro quien anhela poseerla haga a estas horas el papel de tonto. Mas ¿quien pienza que el blanco quien trata de acaparar la última pulgada de aquel rico y fertil territorio es también un tonto? Por lo que a nosotros respecta, hay muchos que dirían que seria una imposibilidad para el negro adquaridla, siendo suya de hecho y de derecho. Ida y vuelta en veinticuatro horas Pero esta manera de pensar es pura y exclusivamente obra de aquellos débiles de razon y serebro que pupulan entre nosotros, para quienes la historia no tiene inspiración y quienes estando cegados por el polvo que el astuto blanco echa sobre los ojos del negro, para mantenerlo siempre bajo la férula de la mas denigrante abyeción. Pero el despierto y progresivo negro jamas será embaucado por ninguno de estos enemigos, quienes laboran en contra de su libertad y redención. Los recientes vuelos transatlánticos, que tan grandes sucesos nos han parecido, quedarán reducidos a un monotono y prosaice viaje, si las ambiciones de Rex Rennée, se llegan a realizar. Es gerente de ventas de una compañía eléctrica y según dice el, experto aviador, no solo cree que es posible hacer un viage de ida y vuelta a Paris y New York, sino que espera realizar dentro de unos meses, el estupendo vuelo. ¿Como puede cualquier negro consiente creer que sea ridículo el anhelar la posesión de la tierra que Dios le diera y donde millones de su raza habita? Cado año que pasa trae una nueva cosecha de conversos a los principios de esta organización. Y si las matemáticas no nos engañan y el crecimiento de esta gran institución va en proporción agigantada, se abstendrá el negro de cooperar al formato de una nación suya y abordar con entereza de caracter el problema de poser un AFRICA PARA LOS AFRICANOS? Expone que hará el vuelo a Paris y volverá dentro de las veinticinatro horas, algo más de la mitad del tiempo empleado, en los ya realizados viajes transatlánticos; que en septiembre levantará el vuelo para el tal viaje en un aeroplano equipado especialmente con dos motores Packard de 1,280 caballos de fuerza cada uno, usando un combustible de sus propia invención. velocidad hasta ahora desconocida. Su plana, dice Remade, no llaveará gasolina, sino agua y cuando necesite combustible, todo lo que tendrá que bucer será colocar uno de estos tubos en los tanques de agua, transformándolo en el liquido que hará mover los motores con más velocidad que si fucese gasolina. Lajo de la realena inglesa Los soberanos ingleses suelen usar una vajilla de oro macizo cuando ofrecen banquetes a los monarcas extranjeros que los visitan. Aun cuando estas funciones generalmente tienen lugar en el palacio de Buckingham, en Londres, la vajilla se entuenta depositada en el castillo de Windsor, situado a veinte y seis millas de distancia de la capital. El transporte de la valiosa vajilla a Londres, desde el castillo de Windsor no es una tarea tan fácil como pudiera creer. Se lleva dentro de un vehículo blindado y tirado por custo caballos, al que rodea una cola imponente. La vajilla consta de un servicio completo para cien convidados, y generalmente, hacen juego con sus piezas, sobre la mesa en que se sirven los banquetes, en la regia morada, candelabros del mismo metal, de tres a cuatro pies de altaura, cuyos brazos, de los que sobresalen bujias, se extienden en todas direcciones. La vajilla se guarda en la caja fuerte del castillo de Windsor. Cada pieza se coloca dentro de un cajón y hay una flave para cada cajón. Los guardias son un orfebre y un plaster, pues se necesitan peritos para limpiar las piezas, ya que es menester que la limpieza no merme su paso ni amengue su valor. Correo acree para Cuba El administrador general de correos en Washington ha autorizado la concesión de un contrato a la empresa de navegación aerea Pan American Airways Inc., para la transportación del correo con aviones `entre Cayo Hueso y la Habana. La Cuban-American Air Lines, Inc., de Miami, Florida, también presentó oferta en la licencia a un precio de cuarenta y seis centavos por libra para la transportación del correo, pero la empresa que salió favorecida ofreció cuarenta y medio centavos por libra. El nuevo servicio se clasifica como servicio extranjero y no se necesita franqueo especial, pues el correo de primera clase se transportará en aviones en vez de vapores como se hace actualmente. Los vapores salen de Cayo Hueso a las 8.30 de la mañana y llegan a la Habana a las 3 de la tarde. Los aviones saldrán probablemente de Cayo Hueso a las 8 de la mañana y llegarán a la Habana antes de las 9, una distancia de noventa millas. La compañía agraciada proyecta usar una flota aerea de tres aviones del tipo Fokker o Ford, de tres motores, los cuales desarrollarán una velocidad de cien cincuenta millas por hora.

Address all applications to Business Manager, Big game hunting in Africa has become a "set-up"—"an sporting as shooting cattle on the prairies," Karl Reissman, big game hunter and camogamman, announced recently as he returned aboard the Dollar liner President Harrison from an expedition that kept him in the jungles of Abyssinia for nearly four months. "Present-day big game hunters," he said, "are for the most part the smallest kinds of sports. They are merely hauling in the reflected glory of the pioneers and explorers who opened up the country. There is more actual sport shooting small game right here in the United States." As a result of the "big game industry" in Africa the wild animal life of the continent is threatened with extinction, he said. "When a big game hunter announces he is going for a particular species he knows before he starts where it is and how to get it. Guides guarantee to bring you to your lions—they know just where they are—and if required will introduce you to them. You are led up to your game by a guide on one side and gun bearer on the other. Then, if you can hit the side of a barn, you are a big game hunter." Mr. Rossman believes the big game of Africa will soon be as extinct as the buffalo. "No longer darkest, but denatured Africa," he said. He returned as an honorary General of the Abyssinian Army by virtue of a shield presented to him by Emperor Cafari Makonnen of Abyssinia, who claims direct descent from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. The shield, about two feet in diameter, is made of hippopotamus hide, inlaid with gold. It is nearly 175 years old and carries with it the decoration of the Star of Ethiopia. Rossman accompanied Sir Jeffrey Archer, former Governor-General of the Sudan and British Somaliland, who was conducting the Maharajah of Kutch on a hunting expedition.

ALICE ASSERSON of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Baths and Health It is just as important to give some consideration to the kind of baths we take as it is to consider the kind of food we eat. Bathing is essential to physical well-being as well as to cleanliness. In the process of carrying on its regular functions the body eliminates waste materials through perspiration. We must bathe frequently to remove this waste from the surface of the skin. Everyone should take a daily bath—either tub shower or soaking. The warm bath is necessary for cleansing purposes. But this should not be an extremely hot bath. Very hot baths are dangerous, and should only be taken under a physician's orders as they are for medicinal purposes. The warm bath is good for anyone and is particularly soothing to many people. It often induces sleep, and for this reason many people prefer to take it at night before going to bed. The cold shower or plunge is excellent if you react properly to it. That is if your skin feels a single through it immediately after the bath, and if you feel invigorated. If you are not accustomed to taking cold showers or baths it is well to start them in the warm weather so that you may get used to them before the cold weather Get this FREE Book from your dealer or write us direct.

The cold bath of course does not take the place of the warm one for cleansing purposes. However, many people like to take a cold shower after a warm bath and this is an excellent way to build up one's general resistance. Lycurgus First to Call A Man a Brick Lycurgus, the Spartan king, was contentious in his discourse. When asked why he had made so few laws he answered: "To men of few words few laws are sufficient." Asked how they could best guard against the invasion of an enemy he replied, "By continuing poor!" And to the question whether they would inclose Sparta with walls "That city is well fortified which has a wall of men instead of brick!" This probably is in the foundation for the story that when an ambassador from Epirus was shown by the Spartan king over his capital the visited expected to see massive walls for the defense of the town, but found none, says the Detroit News. He marveled much and at last said to the king: "Sire, I have visited most of the towns but found no walls built for their defense. Why is this?" "Indeed," replied Lycurus, "they const not have looked carefully. Come with me tomorrow and I will show you the walls of Sparta."

For example, because the United States is guilty of hyching and barbarianism on the whole the guilty parties do not like to see or hear any one write or speak against hyching and barbarianism. Because England and many of the other European powers are guilty of exploitation, they do not like to see or hear any one write or speak against exploitation. Because there are individuals in a community who are full of ignorance, hypocrisy, conceit, maliciousness, slackness, lowness and disrespect, etc., etc., they do not like to see or hear any one write or speak against those things.

It is easy for an individual to run away from his environment and go to some other places where he is not known whenever he pulls off a foul and mean deal; but it is not possible for a nation to run away from its country; it is not possible for a race to get away from itself; therefore all should be careful of what they do, so that they may not take personal exceptions to people's legitimate expressions which are not intended for them alone. Rev. Hayford of Africa WASHINGTON—Rev. Mark C. Hayford, a native of the West Coast of Africa, who is at present touring this country lecturing upon the educational needs of his native countrymen, and who has been received by President Coolidge and the President of France, and complimented by the King of England, has been endorsed by a number of American notables.

Antoine Clerpikowiak, the young elegant sculptor who came from Warawan some years ago to capture artistic Paris. It was because of his training in sculpture, an art which he still practices, that Anastasia decreed women's hair must be cut so as to reveal the shape of the head. It was one of his strongest theories that the chief beauty of many women lay in the head contours but that most of them were culpably ignorant of their real charm, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. 200 Dead Is Official Toll LONDON, July 19 (U.P.).—The High Commissioner at Palestine has advised the Colonial Office that the casualties of the recent earthquake in Palestine and Egypt ternated 200 killed, 254 seriously wounded and 375 slightly wounded.

P.)—Freedom of Jewish immigration to Palestine heads the list of demands formulated by Jewish workers in resolutions adopted at the convention of the Palestine Jewish Labor Federation, representing all factions of the Jewish labor movement in the country. The convention, which lasted a fortnight, came to a close yesterday in Tehriv. The resolutions urge the Stalinists to increase colonization activity. A series of demands was formulated, requesting speedy action by the Palestine Government to solve the unemployment problem and to hasten the upbuilding of Palestine an the Jewish national home. The resolutions urge the Government to grant State land for Jewish colonization, to facilitate the naturalization of Jewish immigrants, to promulgate labor legislation and to admit Jews to service in the Palestine frontier force.
