Africans' Patience Not Eternal; Nemesis Coming
In an article in the London "Star" Mr. William J. Clissold, of Bechuanaland, says:
"When seated comfortably in an express train, have you ever speculated about where you might find yourself if the driver went mad, or the train were derailed? I have experienced such a sensation in Africa when watching a large body of natives working in the mines or at the docks. These sweating, multitudinous brown beings form the real power that enables white civilization in Africa to take its ease and advance in comparative luxury. But what if, one day, the same power were directed towards destroying, instead of supporting, white civilization? And what guarantee has the white man that it will not? Then the very skill and unity—Europe's magnificent gifts of Africa—will prove instruments of destruotion.
"It is a thought to appal!
"For Africa's strength is not her gold or diamonds, or ivory, but her people. We are extraordinarily slow to realize this simple fact. But gradually the worth of the native is dawning on the minds of many white people, and those who know him best are making the discovery first. The wisest magistrates, teachers and missionaries unite in praising the adaptability and capacity which given the chance, can turn an African, even in one generation, from a savage to a civilized man.
"Probably such a phenomenon has never been seen before. I have talked to an African chief who might, but for his color, have been a member of Parliament or a diplomat. Yet his childhood was spent in herding cattle on the veldt. Imagine a Dorsetshire peasant being transformed similarly.
"Undoubtedly we are increasing the efficiency of the African. But are we directing it aright?
"There are roughly two policies held by the Europeans in Africa on the native question today: Development and repression. Both are generally held chiefly as a means to the progress of the European. Perhaps it is natural that the native sees them from a different angle.
"I was present at a native debate at Cape Town when the opinion was expressed that the only satisfactory solution of the 'Native Question' would be the withdrawal of all white people to the place whence they came. On the other side I have heard extreme white 'Repressionists' seriously suggest that the only salvation of South Africa lies in the complete segregation of native Africans in the barren regions of the desert where the Europeans cannot live.
"Even the new legislation, which is euphemistically known as 'Differential,' and which gives the Government the right to forbid natives to engage in skilled trades, is really repression in disguise."
Lord Olivier's Warning
And here it is interesting to read the quotation from a South African letter which Lord Olivier prints in his recent volume, "The Anatomy of African Misery": John Murray:
"The attitude of the colonists is obviously suicidal. They rely solely on machine guns for their supremacy. All the labor of the country is performed by natives. The whites are degenerating very quickly; they have been morally defeated by the native's power of suffering, by his tenacity of life, and, lastly but most importantly, by his sense of humor."
The concluding words of Lord Olivier's masterly study are also worth pondering:
"If the attempt to maintain the repressionist and color bar policy is persisted in, it is not the natives that in the long run are likely to be defeated. It is not they, but the whites, that have shown the first symptoms of degeneration a degeneration entirely due to their own perverse social theory. The native remains robust and virile, he can live on much less than the European, he increases faster in numbers. He is at present desirous and disposed to adapt himself to the life of the European community . . . but, although his patience is being it is not likely to prove eternal in the fact of the repressible policy of which the Color Law is to punish in a declaration."
MORTAL WEPMENT APPEALS TO NEGRO PRESS TO CONTINUE CLAIM FOR GARVEY'S RELEASE
GARVEY DESERVING OF UTMOST LENIENCY
If Demonstrations, Sometimes Lawless, in Behalf of the Far Less Worthy Succo and Vanzetti Can Produce Unprocedented Procedure in Massachusetts, Then Effective Sentiment for the Release of Marcus Garvey Can Easily Be Created
In the following editorial, reproduced from the Atlanta Independent, an appeal is made to the Negro press to continue the splendid agitation begun for the release of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The life of the man, it urges, is worth more than the merciless process of exacting from him, at the possible cost of his life, the remaining term, and observes that the case of the great leader is an opportune one for the exercise of the Presidential pardon:
Nearly three years ago Marcus Garvey entered upon a prison term of five years for violation of a federal law. Garvey had been an earnest and sincere individual and, even though a dreamer, he was a capable leader in inspiring the confidence of the people. If he has erred he has merely complained the invitable, as no human being is perfect. And in view of the fact that his branch of the law one of the most technical sort—no substantial law by any party being suffered—it is documented upon the parable authorities to grant him the utmost leniency.
The years spent in prison have more than stained for the technical violation committed by Garvey. Untold humiliation has been suffered, besides an aliment total loss of health. Physically harrowing is in a grave condition, and unless be is released immediately death is expected.
A four weeks ago the Negro press was lead in demanding Garvey's release. For some reason this agitation has ceased. This is no doubt due to support, and it is to be expected that former newspapers will apply clammer for the immediate discharge. A conspirator appeal to the Christian community of the country will accuse a continual adequate to effect release for Garvey. But periodic walks here and there are unavailing.
Garvey's imprisonment is of less national and international importance than that of Sacco and Vansett. But his cause for a release is more reasonable and convincing. Garvey has served two and a half years of his term with excellent prison demeanor, while Sacco and Vansett have constantly rebelled against the legal authority that imprisoned them. Moreover, the conviction of Sacco and Vansett has been affirmed and reaffirmed by the court of last resort in one of the most impartial States in the Union. The case of Garvey has never been so repeatedly and thoroughly examined.
If radical and lawless demonstrations of the Sacco-Vanzetti sympathizers can produce such unprecedented procedure in Massachusetts, certainly legalised efforts through open speech will be effective in crystallising an effective sentiment for the release of Garvey. We do not advocate violent manifestations, but we do believe in a solidly outspoken press.
The mental and physical anguish undergone by Garvey is sufficient to repay for his legal wrong. The life of this man is worth more than the merciless process of exacting from him at the possible cost of his life the few remaining months. In other and less worthy instances Presidents have exercised the pardoning power. Garvey's instance is an opportune one for the re-exercise of this power. He is a de-

Shall Never Forget Marcus Garvey Under the caption, "The Negro Should Not Lose Hope," the Charleston Messenger prints an editorial which is considered as follows:
"We shall never forget the leadership of Marvin Garvey. He is a born leader for God. He led more people than any one colored man in America. He is suffering today, not for what he has done personally, but his downfall comes from his own. No other has put him where he is. His own race did it, and those that were closest to him in moving the machine. Take any enterprise, anywhere, begun by a Negro, and if he fails it is because of his own race. Garvey had more faith than anyone of the race we've ever heard of; although in prison for doing his best to lead his people aright, and betrayed by them, yet he has faith in his race and looks at those who incarcerate him with smaller and in the spirit of his Lord. Let them alone; they do not know what they have done. Although in prison, we have not read anywhere where he has lost faith in his man. We预估 for him a long life told a great figure. After all, he has the right conception. He is acquainted with the weaknesses of his race, and is endeavoring to strengthen the weak links with all the God-given power found in him. The real man cannot help but sympathise with a man like Garvey or lose hope in the future of the Negro."
First Air Mail
PITTSBURGH.—What may have been the first successful delivery of mail by air was made fifty-seven years ago in France.
Out of a mass of mail stamps of famed flights collected by Harry A. Trubly of New Kensington, vice-president of the Aero-Philatelic Society of America, is one recording that on September 23, 1874, M. Jules Dourouf flew from Paris in a balloon with messages to Craconville, France. At that time Paris was withstanding the Prussian siege.
Trubly's collection of mail stamps includes those used in many pioneering flights over various sections of the globe.
Motorcycling in Sahara Is the Latest Fad
PARIS.—More and more tourists, fond of solitude, are being drawn away from the choked traffic of France to the Sahara desert, which is not yet too congested. To cross it in a big six-wheeled automobile or in a caterpillar car with seats compactible into borthes is becoming almost a commonplace. The latest fad is to crise it by motorcycles.
Faithful Member of
New York Division Dies
It is with deep regret that we beg to announce the death of a beloved member, Mr. Wubert Brown, of the New York Division, of New York City, N. Y., on Aug. 15, 1927.
He was a true and loyal member and supporter of our association for many years in foreign clinics before coming to us in New York. His attitude among us proved this to be true, for he exhibited the same zeal and love for the cause while he labored among us.
As a member of the Liberty Hall Choir he came in clear contact with this auxiliary, and we learned to love him more for his great qualities of courage and pageverance and cheerfulness in the faces of seemingly incomprehensible adults. His parting words were these: "Hello, boys! Do not discouraged. We have a flag leading us. The Red, Black and Green forces!"
The more remote countries of the world have been slow to follow the lead of more civilized nations in the adoption of modern methods, either in their social or their political lives. It has been difficult to persuade the Egyptian that a modern water pump was more efficient than a treadmill operated by slaves, or the inhabitant of Palestine that a plow, or even a steel hoe, was a certain means to greater crops.
Yet these people are awakening gradually, and it is surprising to find motor cars and trucks replacing the "ship of the desert" and the donkey in Southwestern Asia and Northern Africa, where civilization perhaps is oldest but least susceptible to change.
Between Nazareth and Bagdad it is now a common occurrence for a line of motor cars to crowd a caravan of camels off the road. Shops have been opened within the last few years where Joseph taught Jesus the carpenter's trade that would do credit to an American city of the same size. And science is driving the germ-laden mosquito from the malaria-plagued districts of the Near East, just as it has done in the Southern States and in the Canal Zone. These are some of the high lights of interesting information provided by J. J. Handsaker, Regional Director of the Near East Relief. In telling of the relief work, Handsaker said:
"The automobile and motor, truck greatly assist the Near East Relief in transferring food and clothing supplies to the unhappy Armenian children. It is interesting to note that our organization has a touring car, a Chevrolet, which is driven by one of the orphans. The district medical officer also drives a Chevrolet. In fact, the Chevrolet is very popular in that country for two reasons—the motor does not overheat on runs across the burning desert and the cars stand up well under the bumping and shaking they receive on roads that are sometimes like our own worst detours—rough but passable."
French Fear Soviet Plan To Arm Riffian Tribes
PARIS, Aug. 19.—A categorical accusation that the Moscow Government and the leaders of the Third (Moscow) International are working together to wreck France's colonial empire is printed by the Matin today. The newspaper says the Soviet Military Attaché M. Boris, M. Wotneff, and the Soviet Ambassador at Berlin, M. Krestinsky, are collaborating to bring about a fresh rising of the Moorish tribesmen. With the object of proving its accusation, the Matin prints a long series of letters alleged to have passed between Wolkoff, Krestinsky and "Comrade Gallaher" at London relative to supplying arms and munitions to the Rifflan tribes and the carrying on of propaganda in Algeria, Morocco and Tunis "to detach the natives from France." Thus far, the paper adds, the attempts have had little success.
"The treacherous Third International and the Soviet Government are insuperable," the Matin declares. "Both of them are in the habit of notisly disavowing inconvenient documents, but they will not dare deny these."
Women Allowed to Join London Political Clubs
LONDON.—Women are not to be excluded from political clubs.
When a discussion whether they should be barred was at its height, owing to decision of the Larkhall Liberal Club of Bath not to have women members, the National Liberal Club here set aside a special visitors' room and announced that women would be admitted for lunch, tea or dinner provided they are accompanied by members.
Some of the Larkhall Club members said that if women were admitted "they would upset everything."
Philip Snowden. Member of Parliament, said: "I think it is a perfectly silly thing to attempt to exclude women from the club."

PROPOSED FLIGHT TO AFRICA BY NEGRO AVIATOR
PROPOSED FLIGHT TO AFRICA BY NEGRO AVIATOR
An airplane flight from New York to the African Congo which, if made, will not only be the first flight from this country to the African continent, but will be the first trans-Atlantic flight by a Negro aviator, is being planned by Clarence E. Lorraine, Jr., of Jersey City, it has been learned.
The proposed flight has the backing of prominent Negro residents of Harlem and San Francisco, it is reported, and will be financed by voluntary contributions.
According to Lorraine, the trip will be made in a special type of all-metal monoplane with a fuel capacity of 1,134 gallons, designed by Owen Bonn, a Negro, of Los Angeles. The plane has a seating capacity of one. No date has been set for the proposed flight.
The plane, which is being specially constructed for this flight, will be completed in Los An- ready for its first trial. L. Lorraine said.—N Journal, august

Councilor Collins said that I Council had any charity to dispel them begin nearer home. They were students of their own technical school who would be gird of an oppounity of going into one of the Council's departments:
Councillor Cochrane replied that no local student had asked for such a position or they would have granted his request. People of all colors were governed by the British Empire and they ought not to do anything against any man because of his color.
Councillor Crossley: "If colored men are good enough to 'scrap' for us, they are good enough to work for us."
Councillor Collins: "I have nothing against the man's color, but if the Council had any knowledge to give away, let it be to Englishmen first." Councillor Flood explained that the applicant was an Indian, a British subject, studying municipal engineering. He would be quite agreeable to any local student who so desired studying in any of the Council's departments. Councillor Nichols (the chairman): "I would rather help any of our own countrymen than an outsider." To this Councillor Cochrane again protested that no Englishman had applied for the position. The voting was equal, and the Chairman, who was formerly headmaster of the New Mills County Secondary School, gave his casting vote against the proposal.
The scholars of India in the days of the Roman Empire had evolved a science of chemistry and knew of the existence of hydrogen and oxygen, according to discoveries announced by C. R. Kokatmur, a chemist, of 50 Best Party-fleet street, New York City. According to Mr. Kokatmur's computations, the discovery of these phenomena in India antedated their discovery in the Western World by about 2,000 years.

Megro hospitals in this country are unbelievably old-fashioned and inadequate, according to the American Hospital Association, which is joining with leading Megro doctors in an effort to improve conditions.
For the preliminary work a fund of at least $10,000 is needed. It was stated recently, following a conference between Dr. M. T. MacBachner, associate director of the American College of Surgeons; Dr. N. P. Colwell, secretary of the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association; Dr. William H. Walsh, executive secretary of the American Hospital Association, and representatives of the National Hospital Association, the Negro hospital association.
These speaking for the latter included Dr. H. M. Green, of Kneuville, Tenn., president; Dr. L. A West, of Memphis, vice-president, and Dr. J. A. Kenney, of Newark, secretary. Dr. Carl G. Roberts represented the National Medical Association.
It was agreed the best method of bringing about improvements is to appoint a high-grade Negro administrator to visit Negro hospitals and make inspections in accordance with directions outlined by the medical and hospital associations participating in the joint endeavor.
There are nearly two hundred Negro hospitals in the country, but only ten are recognized as proper institutions for training interns and about twenty-five for training nurses.
New Diamond Rush
In South Africa
LONDON.. Aug. 16. — Only about
8,000 people are participating in the
rush to the new diamond field at Wolverdend, Transvaal, as compared with 34,000 in the recent rush to Grasfontein.
The Daily Mail's Johannesburg correspondent says the latest movement is called the "deterioration rush," because the diggers declare that only by the opening of the Wolverdend area before the passing of the proposed Precious Stones Bill, restricting the opening of new diamond fields, can they be saved from starvation. Other diamond diggings are nearly exhausted. It is dug.

More than 30,000 members of the Independent Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, it is estimated, are in New York City assembled for the 38th annual convention of the order.
Delegates from all over the United States, Canada, Cuba and Central America have gathered in Harlem to attend the convention, which officially opens on Tuesday, August 22nd, at 9 a.m.
Following the opening ceremonies, there will be a grand parade of between 30,000 and 40,000 persons, representing Elk lodges from all over the country, followed by decorated cars and boats.
Seventh and Lenox avenues from One Hundred and Twentieth street to One Hundred and Forty-fifth street are ablaze with banners, flags and posters, and at night these throughfares, with their arches of brightly colored lights, rival Coney Island for brilliance.

The petition said there was no treaty between the United States and the Netherlands whereby a political refugee may be held. Java is a Dutch possession.
The arrest of Malakka, who is said to have been organizer and former president of the Java Nationalist Society, was requested by the Dutch Government.
Old Population in a Year
Warning to the Negro Race
Following the modern earb on communicable disease, together with immigration to rich virgin areas and improved methods of production both in factories and on farms, he finds the earth's population is increasing at a rate of 50,000 a day, and estimates that a present world population of some 1,850,000,000 will be doubled in the next sixty years, if the rate of increase is maintained.
"When food can no longer keep up with population," he writes, "then privation and toll must raise the death rate, as it has raised it a thousand times in the past, until life and death are once more in the balance."
HAIR DRESSING now
(From The Chicago Defender, Aug. 4)
All too bad. Martha, sophistication, always started to stam, the riding title of color. True, there is a title of color—and it is riding. From low ebb to the highest rampart this food is flowing—through every overcrowd—over plains and into every channel—it is flowing, following the course of man since the world began.
But this rising tide of color is not a monochrome. That is a fragment of the white man's imagination. He knows how ruthlessly he trampled every race under foot in his greedy haste to dominate the world, and now he fears that othern, in their efforts to regain their lost domain, will trample him under foot. Everywhere he looks new and witnesses the unrest of the darker races—he sees the repetition of the carnage—the wilful, lustful destruction—the havoc that he wrought when he passed by to reach the pedestal upon which he is now seated and which, he notices, is toppling.
Progress to the white man is crushing other races. That has been his belief and his conviction since the beginning of time. History is replete with his conquests in which he trapped other races under foot and glued over his vandalism in the name of civilization. From earliest times to the present his methods have been the same. Today he sees in the unseen of other races an application of the very principles which he introduced and has maintained, and he rendes up the cry of the rising tide of color as a method in civilization.
He is in error. What is best in civilization will remain because it is best, therefore best fitted to survive all changes. What is worst will go in spite of the fact that the white man introduced it. Color will predispose again as it did once before, because color superior in numbers. It is important for civilization that races and groups must hand themselves together in classes and pit themselves against other races, but it seems that such has been decreed. The darker races, dominant for 5,000 years, have begun to migr. A mighty rumble in heard among China's millions. African millions are greeting themselves. Japan's millions have already moved into the lighthearted India and Egypt are no longer adorned. All of this is glorified. So wonder why civilization is frumbling. It has not handwriting on the wall and it already knows the answer! It is beginning to realize, all too late, that "Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands"—that she is stretching forth her hands day—slowly but surely.
Berlin Authorities Excited When Girls Use Lipsticks

NEGRO WORLD UNIQUE; ONLY RACE CHAMPION
LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, Aug. 21.—Tonight was Negro World night, the night set apart for the launching of a campaign to create a Negro World Expansion Fund, a fund authorized by the Hon. Marcus Garvey himself. Earlier in the evening a splendid meeting, arranged for the self-same purpose, was held under the auspices of the East Brooklyn Chapter. At this meeting Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey, wife of the President-General, was the principal speaker, and she made a profound impression as she gave in her telling fashion the reasons why the Negro World should be supported by every member of the organization to the limit of his or her resources.
Twenty-five cents admission was charged at the night meeting and a gratifyingly large crowd was present when the proceedings began. Hon. F. Levi Lord, Chancellor, made the opening remarks and introduced to the gathering Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, Editor of the Negro World, the dean of Negro journalism, who, he said, would take care of the program. Mr. Fortune thereupon introduced Mr. E. E. Mair, Business Manager of the Negro World, upon whom has devolved the task of arranging the meetings and insuring the successful launching and maintenance of the campaign in New York and univirons. Mr. Mair read the splendid article on the Negro World, written by Mr. S. A. Haynes in his column, "Through Black Spectacles," in last week's issue, after which the speech-making followed, interspersed by several musical contributions. Mrs. Ulric Hassell was heard to advantage in a contralto solo, the Universal Band accompanying. Little Miss May Martin acquitted herself very creditably on the piano, while the band and the choir rendered two items in excellent style.
EXPANSION FUND DRIVE
THE NEGPO WORLD appeals to its many readers and well-wishers for donations toward a FUND to be created for the purpose of meeting certain specific obligations and for extending the paper's usefulness to the race.
THE NEGRO WORLD is, and has always been, the ONLY paper devoted SOLELY to the INTERESTS of the NEGRO wherever he may live.
IT IS YOUR PAPER; therefore, it is for YOU to support it. All moneys received will be acknowledged and the giver's name published in the columns of THE NEGRO WORLD each week.
MR. L. SCOTT'S ADDRESS
Mr. L. Brett was first called upon to speak. He asked to be excused from making an address, stating that he had just returned from a tour of several divisions and had had a motor car accident, from the effects of which he had not yet fully recovered. He was pleased to be able to inform the members in New York, however, that the work was proceeding very顺利 in the field, although built in water mark. He also desired to state that the observed importance was attached by all the divisions to the drive
that had been started in the interest of The Negro World, and he predicted for it unqualified success.
PROF. WILLIAMS ADDRESS
Prof. E. R. Williams followed. He said he had received two invitations to speak that evening—one from the Niles asking him to address the welcoming delegation and the other to speak in that hall in behalf of The Negro World, and he could not but ENJOY to thank Liberty Hall to do what he could to point out to his fellow members the transient importance of The Negro World in the life
The Negro World was conceived by a man who came out of the ranks of the masses, by Marcus Garvey, who, in so many words, had said, "Give me freedom, read the Negro World, and I will civilize the white press of the world." The Negro World was not a paper that sought advertisement in order that it might live; many times it had to reject advertisement out of defiance to the high purpose. The Negro World was devoted specifically to the interests of black men and women, and it should be a pleasure to every right-thinking Negro man and woman to give his penny, his dime and his dollar so that this newspaper, which was fighting the battles of Negroes, whether members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association or not, should live and go on to new and greater success, proclaiming the gospel of Carveyism, painting the race to real freedom, real emancipation, real and lasting happiness. He knew of no other paper in the world which compared with the Negro World. Scandal bad no place in its pages, nor robbery nor murder. It was concerned solely and exclusively with the uplift of the race and it deserved the unstinted support of the race.
MR. E. E. MAIRS ADDRESS
Mr. R. R. Malk, Business Manager of The Negro World, was the next speaker. He began: "My share will be to say in a few words what Mr. Garvey told me to tell you when I recently paid a visit to him. These meetings are being held on the direct instructions of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. He ordered me to arrange certain meetings in and around New York and, on this occasion, he gave a message to be relayed to the people regarding his wishes and desires in connection with the paper. Now I shall endeavor to tell you what he told me, not in his own words, but in my own words in the form of a little talk entitled 'Propaganda.'"
Equest of Propaganda
Proceeding, Mr. Mair said that afternoon he was over in Brooklyn where a meeting similar to the present one was held, and there was something which the Vice President of the Brooklyn Chapter said which struck him very much, and that was when he referred to the part that propaganda played in the World War. He spoke of how the Germans at one crucial point in the war, on the front that separated the German and Italian lines, caused German airplanes to fly over the Italian lines and drop posters with disrupting propaganda printed in Italian, and of the demoralizing effect this propaganda had on the Italian soldiers, to the extent that many of them held down their arms, turned tail and ran. Now, the same thing that applied in that particular instance applied in a larger and more general
From data no division or chapter of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall entertain and pay any money to anyone claiming to be a field worker, officer, commissioner, or other representative of the Parent Body who cannot show credentials signed by Mr. E. B. Knox and countersigned by me as president general.
This step is taken to counteract the present mood of speakers who are collecting funds from the divisions in public without making any report of same to the organization.

sense to the propaganda that was being waged against the Negro and in the Negro's favor. The propaganda being waged against the Negro was for the most part being waged by the large white newspapers and, to a lesser extent, by newspapers of the race. Propaganda was being consciously waged to discredit the Negro, to bring him into disrepute and so eventually to destroy him.
The Only Offset
After referring to some well-known devices by which the white press sought to make the Negro self-deprecative, Mr. Mair proceeded: "Now, to meet and combat that propaganda successfully. It means you must wage a successful counted propaganda of your own. That counter propaganda is made to some extent by Negro newspapers in this country and elsewhere in their application to local affairs in the communities where they are published, but where we get the very peak and summit of counter propaganda to meet and offset the disrupting propaganda put out against and about us by the white newspapers is when we open and read the pages of the Negro World. (Applause).
Teacher and Defender
"What is the Negro World? I ask the question, and I will answer it myself. The Negro World is the only newspaper that the Negro has ever started that exists for nothing but the serious purpose of bettering the race nationally and in every other sense; it is the only newspaper that devotes itself entirely to the purpose of building up the Negro's manhood, of building up his racial pride, of winning for him the only thing the Negro never thought of until the Negro World started to teach him—I mean by that, Nationalism.

the subject that the only true remedy for the life that we suffer is to get power. Power is the only thing the world responds. Not merely industrial power, but power in the aggressive, brutal, physical sense, the power to hit back when you are hit, and the Negro World in the only journal that has ever come to the Negro peoples of the world and told them to get that kind of power."
Mr. Mair concluded an address that was much appreciated with a reference to the words of Mr. Harry Johnson, British imperialist, who has deserved well of England for his work in Africa. He mentioned the warning the late Mr. Harry had given England to the effect that it was only a question of time, and not a very long time at that, when Africa would see the birth of a powerful Black Empire; that it was an idle dream for them to imagine that Africa could ever be subjugated and dominated entirely in the interests of white men. That was heartening news, the speaker said, especially coming from such a man as Johnson, and it should encourage every member of the Association, every Negro with red blood in his veins, to go forward in the fight, supporting his greatest offensive and defensive weapon. The Negro World, with his last dollar.

EXPANSION FUND DRIVE FOR THE NEGRO
Table readers of The Negro World—and all of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should be readers of it—will permit us in this editorial way to direct their attention to the Expansion Fund Drive notice published in the last issue of The Negro World and signed by Marcus Garvey as managing editor and E. R. Mair as business manager. An appeal is made to the readers and well-wishers of The Negro World to contribute generally and liberally to a fund to be created to meet certain specific obligations and to extend the usefulness of the paper. There should be a general and generous response to this appeal. The needs of the paper are many and urgent, and its obligations have to be met promptly. Cash is required. Credit does not go far with satisfying the claims of those who produce the newspaper. And producing a newspaper has come to be a very costly business. The most has troubled in the past ten years.
Think of it: Printers and pressmen and mailers and postal charges and the editorial and business staffs are expensive wage-earners and producers who have to be paid each week. If they, are not paid promptly there will be no paper issued. It is that way in all newspaper offices. A great many readers of The Negro World and a great many agents are in arrears in their payments, and their failure to make good is a positive drawback and hindrance to the proper issuance of the paper. All such persons are requested to send what they owe the paper to the business manager at once. Think of this fact and act: What would the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association do without The Negro World? Well, if you don't buy it and pay for it, how can you have it and read it? Back up the Expansion Fund Drive of The Negro World with each
LIBERIAN PRESIDENT AND "AFRICA FOR AFRICANS"
NEGROES everywhere are interested in Liberia on the West Coast of Africa and its present and its future. It was established by American white philanthropists as an asylum for Negroes scattered in the Christian nations without their consent to be servants and underlings for white people base enough to enslave others while demanding the largest freedom for themselves. There is nothing of the doctrine of brotherhood which approves of slavery for the benefit of others. However, men twist it to serve their selfish purposes, the New Test of Men aims to equalize social, civil and economic values and to encourage democratic government, self-determination by the governed, as opposed to the rule of the master and the government of the lord without the consent of the governed. Civil tyranny and industrial servitude are equally repugnant to the higher and better standards of living and striving, but mankind is but little further removed from them today than it was when John was beheaded for protesting against corruption in the administration of the State and Jesus was crucified for denouncing and protesting against corruption in the administration of the Church, of the priesthood.
Liberia was established as a protest against slavery, whether those who established it had that fact in mind or not, and as a refuge of safety for the Negro who was free enough at least to determine the sort of government under which he desired to live and had the courage to go to it and develop with it as a pioneer. The early settlers of Liberia were drawn from that sort of Negro. That more Negroes of the United States, of the West Indies and of Latin America did not avail themselves, when slavery no longer existed among them in the countries of their exile, to go to Liberia and help in establishing a permanent government of their own, is an interesting story by itself. Only a comparatively few Negroes went to Liberia when slavery prevailed in the Western Hemisphere, and fewer yet have done so since the abolition of slavery. There must be reason for this indifference on the part of those whom it was designed to benefit. Only some 50,000 Negroes constitute the citizenship of Liberia, the privileged few who went as pilgrims and polygoras from the western countries, while there are some 2,000,000 solves who remain untouched, for the most part, by the government of the 50,000. This fact may explain why Liberia has stood still and stagnated instead of moving forward and prospering as the United British and French colonies have.
For many years Liberia has been ruled by Mr. C. D. B. King. He is currently re-elected President. His opponent is contesting his election, demanding wholesale corruption. President King is visiting Liberia with his family and an extensive staff, although Liberia has been occupied so far indeed, and President King has not been able to do so. He has been visiting in England, and Mr. King has written an article in the London Daily Mail in which he described Liberia are landed, for British purposes, in the country and asked why? Mr. Leguila explains as follows:
Mr. King, the President of Liberia and one of the
ablest representatives of the Negro man, who for the last few years directed the demission of his country with great common skill and ability. He has not only secured considerable financial assistance from American and other sources, but he has also shown great wisdom in withstanding the advances of such unstable political leaders as, the American Negro, Marcus Garvey, who wished to make Liberia a gateway into Africa for the dissemination of his doctrine of 'Africa for the Africans.'
If we keep the truth and know
Know the actions we do
And the bitter things we do
Understood the law and know
Would the spirit eternal suspense
from I wonder, just the same?
Should we help where we now hide
Should we pity where we blame?
Ah! we judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden forces
Knowing not the sound of action
In less turbid at its source;
"Dr. King realized that the safety of Liberia as an independent State depended not only upon the willing co-operation of American and European capital in the development of its resources, but also upon the friendship of the great colonizing Powers.
All the golden grains of good!
And we'd have each other better
If we only understood.
"Liberia is the one country in Africa in which the United States has considerable economic interesta Bound to America by sentimental ties going back to the middle part of the last century, when the influx of freed slaves first began, close relationships, religious, political and economic, have since been maintained; so that today the Christian Negro population of about 50,000 looks largely across the Atlantic for its inspiration, and in this respect differs considerably from the neighboring British colony of Sierra Leone, which is entirely British in its sentiments.
Could we judge all deeds by motives
That surround each other's lives.
See the naked heart and spirit,
Knowing what spur the action gives.
Often we would find it better
Just to judge all actions good;
We should love each other better
If we only understood.
—Rudyard Kipling.

"The visit of President King to this country will serve to strengthen our interests and to promote a closer understanding between Great Britain and one of the smallest members of the League of Nations."
By DR. M. ALICE ABBERSON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association
And that's the milk in the cocoanut. Of course, President King would be acclaimed in England as one "of the ablest representatives of the Negro race," because he opposes Maccus Garvey's program of "Africa for the Africans," which runs against the program of "the great colonizing Powers." Mr. Lewis does not know whether Mr. Garvey is a citizen of the United States or a British subject, but he does know that Mr. Garvey's doctrine of a Negro State in Africa for Negroes and the conservation of the Negro's social, civil and economic values for the Negro are things which Great Britain and the other European colonizing Powers regard as dangerous; and so President King is acclaimed and lauded by the British and the other colonizing Powers as a friend and ally, while Mr. Garvey is regarded as a dangerous foe. Let it go at that; but we think a majority of the citizens of Liberia favor the Garvey rather than the King program, and regard his alliance with British plans and American capital as dangerous to the liberties of Liberia. "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad."
If You Would Live Long-
"Vacations are for city folks but holidays are for everybody." says the "Christmas Seal Doctor" in the Kansas State Tuberculosis Association Health News Letter.
This advice may well be taken to heart by everyone. All of us, whether we live in cities or in the country, need rest from our regular work and the round of routine jobs to be done. If we can't get a regular vacation, then we need holidays when we may get away from our work and find rest and recreation in some sport, such as fishing.
It is particularly important for those of us who work for our living in the city to get away from the noise and bustle and tension of city life for a week or two every year. We need vacations. Our bodies need rest and relaxation from their daily work. Our minds and nervous systems need recreation and change.
GOVERNOR WOOD'S DEATH AND THE FUTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES
Take a vacation every year. You read it. You must have it in order to keep your body up to par physically and mentally. You will find that you return to work in better condition, feeling more able to do your best at your daily job. You will keep your general resistance high, so that you will be less likely to fall an easy prey to disease. You will be doing much to help yourself live to a "ripe old age."
MONDAY evening, August 1, the editor of The Negro World listened to an eloquent recital by a distinguished Filipino of the history of the Philippine Islands and the struggles of their people to be free and independent, before the Council of the Institute of International Relations at International House, Riverside Drive, in New York. The speaker, Mr. Roderiguez, laid great stress upon the struggles of the Filipino people to be free when under Spanish rule and then under American rule. According to him, they had never been satisfied under foreign rule and never would be, the predominant hope and aspirations at this time being to be free of American rule. We were impressed with his statement that Governor-General Leonard Wood was the most hated of all of the rulers the American Government had placed over the Filipino people.

Since Mr. Roderiguez's address General Wood died suddenly in a Boston hospital. He had planned to return to his work in the Philippines, although there was a square issue drawn on him and President Coolidge as to the wisdom of replac- iministration of Philippine affairs on a civil rather . itary basis, General Wood favoring the latter. Genera had a very turbulent administration of Philippine a. Filipino legislature opposed to him and his policies, a generally believed that he would resign his high posi this country. The announcement, after his recent vis- dent Coolidge in the Black Hills, that he would nbt would return to the Philippines after medical treatmen short stay in the United States, created much newspaper go
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—Less than a third of the more than. 538,000 immigrants admitted to the United States last year came in under the quotas and, owing mainly to this fact, the alien population of the nation was larger by 254,493 in the fiscal year ending June 30, or about 16,000 more than was the case for the previous year, Commissioner H. E. Hull said today. Allen departures numbered 1,508—73,566 emigrant and 180,142 emigrant. For 88 percent of the newcomers ar., continued the commission from ten countries. Canada, ing 81,506 immigrant allens fiscal year 1927, led the list, Mexico with 67,721, Ger- Irish Free State 28,054.
It is highly probable that President Coolidge will appoint cessor to General Wood who will carry out his policy of dising the War Department in favor of the Interior Department control of Philippine affairs. In this policy the ultimate independence of the Islands will be a leading rather than a subordinate policy to an indefinite occupation with-military rule, which appears to have been the aim of General Wood. And that would not meet the demands of the Filipino leaders for the immediate independence of the Islands. American business interests have grown very strong in the Philippines during the past twenty-seven years, and they hoped to enlarge these interests by the rubber development which has been much discussed, and to continue the military policy to safeguard these interests, with General Wood as their ideal leader as a military ruler. The Filipino people should be great gain by a change of policy such as we hope the successor of Gover General Wood will inaugurate.

ARE THE PROTESTANT CHURCHES LOSING THEIR VANTAGE?
THERE has been a great stir in church circles by the announcement of the continuation committee of the Inter-Church Conference, held in Philadelphia, and made public by the officers of the Preabyterian Church in the United States of America, that there is a failing off in church membership in Protestant communions of some 500,000 annually. "In thirteen communions with a grand total of 15,160,170 members," the report summarizes, "the losses aggregate 268,065. As the total of Evangelical membership is upward of 29,000,000, the total yearly loss, if other communions besides the thirteen were included, would approximate about half a million."

All sorts of explanations of the decline are being made and plans are being perfected by the churches concerned to stem the tide of decline, and the outcome will be watched with interest by that body of people who believe that the hopes of mankind are wrapped up in the success or failure of the Protestant churches of the world. It should be noted that the decline in membership of the Protestant churches in this country and in Europe is coincident with the falling away from the teachings of Jesus in the matters of brotherhood, of covetousness and moral laxity. Disharmony in business relations and in the conduct of governments one towards the other, disregard of the "Subboth Day to keep it holy" and the moral laxity and vulgarism which have crept into the life of individuals and of nations, by the rule that subtlety on the one hand and might on the other justifies any wrong doing, would account for the decline of church membership and the influence of the churches, if these concerned but knew it. You can't eat your spiritual or your material pie and have it. But mankind cannot be made to understand that it is even so.
The hardest year of his enemy Litchi Mignon Arvandi Garvey behind the prison walls of Imperialism. Historians will call him one of the greatest minds that ever denied a prisoner's garr. Garvey retained a nightly vigil in Africa, the pride of black men, and started out to lay the consequences before the hammer of the Red, the Black and the Green, with the slogan, "Arvandi for the Afrikan—those at home and these abroad," ringing around the world. Then the Voyeurism of diplomacy behind the siege of Ibn of Ibrahim, and some Garvey was wading deep within. His body was scarred, but not his soul. Today his enemies know that Garvey lives unafraid of the future. From his prison cell he can see them preparing the screws. One of less courage would give up the struggle, but Garvey is not afraid of the crucifixion—African must be saved, and he even welcomes it.
Squee call him a fool. If he is, then he will not seem to forgettum. Garvey's imprisonment is one of these errors for which society punt pay, and pay dearly. You can't kill an ideal by persecuting the idealist. Garveyism is not dead. It is rising up to plague its terminer. It is reaching out into new swells. It is walking up and down in the hearts of black men, women and children everywhere. Wherever the black man makes his roadside, Garveyism now engages his serious attention. World pence is not being enhanced by Garvey's imprisonment, and if he dies as a result thereof, the consequences are too great to contemplate. Long live Garvey! Long live Africa!
What Have They to Say?
We have heard credibly from those who opposed several if not all phases of Mr. Garvey's program for the solution of the Negro problem. The press, the pulpit, citizens and organizations prominent in the life of our group have been outspoken in demanding the release of Mr. Garvey from prison and accustoming the importance of his leadership. Among the latest to add their voices are Dana William Pickens, Prof. Wm. H. Perris and the Afro-Americans. But the following are nototently silent: The N. A. A. C. P., Chicago Defender, Pittsburgh Courier and the Equal Rights League. Why? Will Mr. Du Bois and the Pan-African Congress take cognizance of Garvey's imprisonment? If so, in what respect?
Five Pitiful "Bullets"
The five most pitiful rulers in the world today are Fund of Egypt, Machado of Cuba, Berno of Haiti, Dias of Nicaragua and the King of Liberia. Officially one is a king, each of the others is a president of his country. In reality they are mechanical dolls, moving to the push of a button. Like children, they must be told where to go and when to go; what to say and how to say it; what to do and when to do it. They are the choice of the people before whom they go, accompanied by imposing bodyguards. They have but one annual report, summoned up in these words: "The country is prosperous, my people are happy, and we are grateful to you for your assistance." The following reports from the Afro-American concern a speech delivered in England by the Hon. C. B. D. King of Liberia. From the London Evening News: "... My own country is exceedingly happy. There is no rent to pay and few social troubles. The workmen are to work for a shilling a day and to retire to their farms every three months of the year to gather their crops of rice. ... I am working for the Liberian nation, not for the black race. The black race was there before Liberia. (Compare this point of view with that of a very distinguished friend of President King who deserved some years ago: "I am a Frenchman first and a Negro afterwards.") It is a thing indestructible, is this black race, whereas the nationality of Liberia needs fostering and developing, and with its advancement the black race automatically advances. "I am for keeping the young colored man of my country at home." And for this the News calls Mr. King a philosopher. From the African World: "We are not associated with any movement (Garvey) toward antagonism or driving foreign races out of Africa. ... It should not be forgotten that we are Africans and attempting to build up a Negro nationality. Liberia represents an effort on the part of the Negro towards self-government. We are not expected to duplicate Europe in Africa. ..."
The Devil An Angel Must Be
If this coward, this blundering weakling is a philosopher, then the devil is an angel. England and France delight to honor such a puppet, while taking pride in the persecution of real men as Mahatma Gandhi, Zailgul Pasha and Marcus Garvey. But Liberia shall not perish. The days of those who enslave her are numbered. There are now in the making hundreds of leaders who shall trample their Mug and others fated.

When a man is elected to an office through the manipulation of influence, there is always a question about his freedom to act contrary to the opinions of that influence. In fact, there is a tacit ownership on him, an obligation to his benefactor that influences his conduct without much regard for his own opinion of conscience.—Birmingham Reporter.

Love of work is possible either in digging ditches or sculpturing eternal marble, but good work is only possible from men and women who make play of their work. To the eye and ear it seems paradoxical, but the mind has long conceived that human beings who make play of their work play less at their work.-California Eagle.

[Editor's Notes—"Who caused Garvey's imprisonment?" is dealt with in the following arresting article from the pen of his wife, Mrs. Dany Jargues Garvey. This article was written by request for the Pittsburgh Courier. The first half appeared, showing signs of the editor's blue pencil, in last week's Courier. Some of the facts set out in the article are well known to many of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but there are thousands of new members who have joined the organization since Mr. Garvey's trial and imprisonment to whom this striking expose will bring light and understanding.

Two and a half years have passed since Marcus Garvey has been imprisoned in Atlanta Federal Prison. He may or may not live to regain his freedom, and as the question is being asked, "Why keep him in prison?" and since there cannot be an effect (which is his imprisonment) without a cause, we retort, "Why was he imprisoned?" While we could very readily find an answer to our question by saying, "To please his enemies," yet we feel it is only fair that we prove our assertion.
That Garvey has enemies, the world knows, for that matter any man in public life has enemies, and very vicious ones too. As to who are his enemies and what benefits would accrue to them through his imprisonment are points we will discuss among the other phases of his imprisonment; but it must be borne in mind that as he is still in prison, there are some points which cannot be discussed now.
Sphamine and Plitting
As far back as 1919 a well-thought-out plan was arranged by his enemies, not only to send him to prison, but to get rid of him altogether. The latter part of that year an attempt on his life failed, as his would-be assassin only wounded him, and mysteriously killed himself in jail, before he was arrested in court.
In 1900 we find "The National Information Bureau" through its director, Henry C. Smith, writing, under date of August 8, 1900, to Mr. John M. Glenn, of the Russell Sage Foundation, about Mr. Garvey and his movement, and asking, among other things "We are informed that he was arrested and convicted in Chicago in connection with the race riots two years ago. . . . It has been impossible to secure witnesses against the man, and we are informed that no action can be taken at the present time, although the organization is kept under surveillance." Curious enough we discovered on the head of this letter the name, "John R. Shillidy, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People," because of "the directors. Is it any wonder therefore that such a wicked lie should have been penned by this "National Information Bureau." The world knows that Mr. Garvey was not even in Chicago at the time of the race riot, much less to have been "arrested and convicted."
1821 Plot That Failed
In 1921 when Mr. Garvey planned a five weeks' trip to the West Indies and Central America, his enemies predicted that he would not be allowed to land in Jamaica. He went, and was courteously received by the ahwred British officials. On his application to the American consul for a vise to enable him to return to this country, he was returned same, without being, given a reason, which kept him out of this country five months, during which time he journeyed to all the Central American Republics applying to various American consuls in these countries for a vise. Finally, he procured same in Guatemala, and immediately took ship for America. On his arrival at New Orleans he was detained, and

While we could or question by saying, "To please his ear that we prove our assertion. World knows, for that matter any man very vicious ones too. As to who are should accrue to them through his inscess among the other phases of his life in mind that as he is still in prison, it be discussed now.
only released after he had communicated with Mr. Hughes, the then secretary of state, requesting him to give reasons for his detention.
After this failure to keep him out of America, the "Garvey Must Go" campaign was launched with increased vigor, ministers' conferences discussed ways and means; meetings were held in churches; the aid of the Socialist and Communist parties were involved; magazines and newspapers offered their columns to help the campaign; would-be-great Negroes attacked Mr. Garvey just to get into the limelight, and behind them all, offering tangible support, were the agents of white shipping companies, and the agents of the big powers of the world, who thrive off Africa's wealth.
"Garvey Must Go," howled the big little Negro leader, who, like stars were being collapsed by the rising sun, Marcus Garvey. "Yes, get him out of the way," they echoed, and darkness will again cover the land and we stars and starlets will again twinkle, and the poor masses, in awe, will may, even as the little child. "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are."
The Whining Plea to "Marse Boss"
In February, 1922. Mr. Garvey and the other officers of the Black Star Line were indicted for using the mails to defraud. After nearly a year had passed, and "Garvey was not gone," the campaigners became impatient and through a Committee of Eight, addressed a formal letter to the "Hon. Harry M. Daugherty, United States Attorney General, Department of Justice, Washington, D. C." dated January 15, 1923. The opening paragraph of this letter is typical of good old Darkies, telling Marse Boss some news in order to get him in a good frame of mind to do them a favor. It reads:
"As the chief law enforcement officer of the nation, we wish to call your attention to a heretofore unconsidered menace to harmonious race relationships. There are in our midst certain Negro criminals and potential murderers, both foreign and American

bear, who are moved and seduced by influence hated against the white goat. These undesirabiles continually proclaim that all white people are enemies to the Negro. They have become so fictional that they threatened and attempted the death of their appointees, actually assassinating in one instance. "The movement known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association has done much to eliminate this violent temper of this dangerous element. His president and moving spirit is one Marcel Carvey, an unconscious demagogue, who has consciously and acidously sought to spread among Negroes distrust and hatred of all white people.
"The official organ of the U. N. I. A. The Negro World, of which Marcos Garvey is managing editor, seducesly and continually seeks to arouse ill-feeling between the reason. Evidence has also been presented of an apparent alliance of Garvey with the Ku Klux Klan."
A Vital Insensitivity
The eight good boys were so anxious to tell all they knew that they did not notice the inconsistency of their statement. How could Garvey hate white people, and at the same time be an ally of the Klan. Can white supremacy and black supremacy blend? And now we come to the request, and here again we quote the precious missive:—
"For the above reasons we advocate that the Attorney-General use his full influence completely to disband and extirpate this bribe movement, and that he vigorously and specially push the government's ones against Marus Garvey for using the maids to defraud.

Julian W. Mack, Trial Judge
Four months after the receipt of
this letter by Mr. Daugherty we find
the trial of Marcus Garvey set for
May 16, 1922, and Judge Jalian W.
Mack, of Chicago, assigned to try the
case; thereupon Mr. Garvey filed an
affidavit in support of his motion requesting
the retirement of Judge
Mack as Trial Judge for the following
reasons (see record of court, page
31).
"Petitioner verily believes that your Honor is disqualified from sitting in the trial of the above case because of your Honor's membership in an affiliation with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which, through its responsible officials, has openly and viciously attacked not only the work of the petitioner in his several business ventures, but which has attacked him personally, and has only recently, to wit, on or about January 15, 1923, addressed a communication to the Attorney General of the United States.
"Your Honor, who is chosen to preside at the said trial of the petitioner, is a member of and contributor to the N. A. A. C. P. aforesaid; a reader of and subscriber to the 'Crisis' aforesaid. Petitioner respectfully submits that in his honest belief, your Honor would be unconceonically awayed to the side of the Government against this petitioner in this trial, for, as a reader of the 'Crisis', it is fair to assume that your Honor has read the bitter and unfavorable criticisms of the petitioner and his work, the very issues of which will come before your Honor in this trial. Petitioner feels deeply relieved that he should be tried before your Honor as Preceding Judge, who has given financial support to the N. A. A. C. P. and thus indirectly assisted them in paying their officers to attack, hold up to ridicule and undertake to destroy this petitioner and his work; and who, by subscripting to the 'Crisis', assisted in the circulation of matter advert to petitioner, and his work; all of which involved the very issue which will be tried in this case.
"The said W. E. B. DuBoir, the said William Pichens and the said Robert W. Begnall are to the very day holding their said positions with the N. A. A. C. P. and the attacks referred to are known to the N. A. A. C. P. and I the N. A. A. C. P. did not approve of the said attacks upon their defendant and his work by his discretion the said W. E. B. DuBoir, the said William Pichens and I the said Robert W. Begnall would have been requested to discontinue these attacks.
Universal Negro Improvement Association or the Black Star Line to ask a Trial Judge when W. E. B. Dulles or some member of the N. A. A. G. P. would be tried on a similar offense, in which the life of their work, their honor and liberty were at stake.
"It might be of interest to your Honor to know that so May 7, when his case was called for trial, Moorhead Storage, a Boston attorney, and one of the highest offenses of the N. A. A. G. P. was seen in the United States Attorney's office in and for this district. May not the petitioner respectfully inquire of your Honor, if it should be that your Honor were charged with a similar offence, would your Honor, in these circumstances, wish to be brought to trial before a judge identified, as your Honor is, with the subject-matter of this case?
"Politician respectfully submits that in his, honest belief your Honor is disqualified, both in law and in propriety, from sitting as Trial Judge in the above entitled case."
"Glanced Over the Headlines"
Judge Julian 'W. Mack denied the motion on the ground that (see court record, page 67)!—
"Because in the absence of a direct charge of personal bias or prejudice, in my judgment it cannot be said as a matter of law or as a matter of fact that every member who possibly, as the affidavit says, may have read these charges or articles, is therefore either committed to or unconsciously blamed against the person who is charged....It happens, however, that the Judge has not read a word of any of the articles referred to in the affidavit, and has read only the headlines and things in the daily press, although the other facts, that he is a contributor—I don't know whether he is a member or whether he is both a member and contributor, but that he is at least a contributor to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People—and a reader of its magazine, 'The Crisis' is true. But as a reader of 'The Crisis' it happens also to be true that he has not read these articles in 'The Crisis', but perhaps has glanced over the headline."
Judge Mack did try the case, and Marcus Garvey was convicted, while the three other defendants were acquitted.
To Whom "The Credit"
In order to arrive at some conclusion as to what he should get the credit for bringing about the conviction of Marcos Garvey, we quote from an editorial in "The Messenger" magazine, edited by Means. A. Phillip Randolph and Chandler Owen, under date June, 1922, in which they state:—
"Garvey About Gene"
"In August in High Harlem was raised the cry by the editors of 'The Messenger,' assisted by William Pickens and Reb. W. Bagnall, 'Garvey Must Go.' In special series of mass meetings, devastating, and withering in criticism, exposing the fallacy of his program, the stupidity of his projects, the dishonesty of his schemes, the ignorance of his policies and the utter baseness of his betrayal of the Race in his forming an alliance with the K. K. K., the drive was launched. Our work is being fruit. The Black Star Line is completely gone. Every one of his stores is closed. His Negro Times is suspended and well-nigh all of his former employees are suing him for pay. In very truth the Black Klan like the White Klan is shot to pieces. The case of the government against Garvey for the fraudulent use of the mails is now being tried. Meantime case after case is being filed against him daily, and one is being case after case as they are tried." The 'Messenger,' July 1328, (ATC)
The Messenger, July 1923. (After conviction)
"Go Arvey's Gene"
"GARVEY I MUST GO—Owen and Randolph, Aug. 1923."
"GARVEY IS GONE—Judge Mack, U. S. District Court, June 1923."
There is also another gentleman who perhaps lays claim to the Victor's Palm, for accomplishing the feat, and the A is Dr. W. E. B. DoBom. In The Independent" magazine of January 3, 1923, Erlo Walrond brings the following to our attention in referring to the campaign. He writes:
"Du Boh, the best blood in the native kernel, was set on him. Through the Crisis, the monthly
magazine published by the National Association, DuBois started a campaign against Carvay. After bewailing the riot of waste and corruption (DuBois' association is supported by funds contributed by both white and colored people, whose Carvay has refused financial aid from the whites, relying solely on the Negro masses) incident to the collapse of the steamship company, DuBois agreed that the idea of African colonization was not new, and not impracticable, but that Carvay, an "illiterate foreigner," was not the man for it. ... ... Numerous others, following in DuBois footsteps, have duplicated this stand, and for the last two years Carvay has been defending himself against attacks. Eventually, through the efforts of his enemies, he was hailed before the United States District Court in New York for using the mails to defraud and contended to five years in a Federal sententiary."
There are lesser lights who might have relied for the Palm, such as Cyril Briggs (Communist) and his "Crusader Magazine"; W. A. Domingo (Socialist) and his "Emancipator" newspaper; Samuel Duncan and his West Indian Protective Society, but these have already passed into oblivion. So let them be.
The Order of the Court
Marcus Garvey being convicted was sentenced to five years imprisonment, one thousand dollars fine, and ordered by Judge Mack to pay the entire cost of the trial, the latter order, a most unusual procedure in the courts. Ball was sought for him pending his appeal, but was consistently refused until he had spent three months in the Touma Prison, New York City, after which time he was released under $15,000 bail. By the way, this three months' confinement is not deducted from his five-year sentence.
DuBois Impatient
In May, 1924, Dr. DuBois became so impatient that Garvey had not "goon" as yet that he leaved this edict in the May issue of "The Crider":
"The American Negroes have endured this wretch all too long with fine restraint and every effort at co-operation and understanding. But the end has come. Every man who apologizes for or defends Marcus Garvey from this day forth, writes himself down as unworthy of the countenance of descent Americae. As for Garvey himself, this open ally of the Ku Klux Klan should be locked up or sent home. . . . Marcus Garvey is, without doubt, the most dangerous enemy of the Negro race in America and the world."
Meanwhile what was Marcus Garvey doing. We further quote from Eric Walrond's article in "The Independent" under date of January 3, 1925. He writes:
"Out on bail, Garvey, while DuBois asked for his repatriation, held his Fourth International Convention of Negroes in New York from August 1 to $1, to which came over 3,000 Negroes from various parts of the globe. Undaunted, unanswered by the enemy's fire, by an uncanny turn of Fate, Garvey, so far as the black masses are concerned, is still at the helm—steering the Negro ship of state and doing it with the old characteristic fire and spirit. Forever hitting at the high spots of the old international Negro problem, it is natural that he should excite the wrath of the nationalist Negroes, like DuBois in America and Herbert George DeLisner in Jamaica—men who put national above racial consciousness. Yet, through some divine mystery, Garvey is the "Mosses" of the black masses. Instead of diminishing, his power is growing daily. It is one of the anomalies of the complex racial problem of the age."
DuBold' Trio to Liberia
Between the date of the conviction of Mr. Garvey and the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals to affirm the judgment of Judge Mack's court, Dr. Dubois had journeyed all the way to Liberia, and, curious enough, President King, of that republic, after having made arrangements with the U. N. L. A. for concentration work in Liberia, routinely and without previously notifying the U. N. L. A., deported this organization's experts, and has since seized over fifty thousand dollars worth of machinery and tools sent there by the U. N. L. A. in furtherance of its incorporation plan, which has caused this organization great financial loss, because of contracts entered into with big white firms for further shipments of machinery.
Hamor got it that when Dr. Dubois returned from Liberia a banquet was tendered him, at which was present Judge Julian Mack. Truly this is a funny world.
Psychology of Garvey's Jury
in app to an act on an idea of the psychology of the jury that set at his Garvey's CITY, two open from Haiti, George Opium Bottles brief to the Church Court of Appeal:
"Of the verdict in so tested, we believe that the Court will appellate to conclude that the jury was not justified by production and question, and is acting in hypocrisy of the record and of the Judge, and that it was led by a lawless person to produce a result that would prevent them from being

"In the claim that the jury was educated not alone by prejudice, but by passion, we do not mean to imply that it was actuated by a purpose to commit an injustice against the individual Garvey. But we do mean to assert that the testimony was such as was collected to make a most potent appeal to the feelings, the passions, and the prejudices of the jury, and to put them in the position, not of administering justice in the case of an individual, but of dealing with a general situation, represented to them as one fought with great danger and many evils. It is as if Gandhi were to be tried by a jury of Englishmen for his leadership of the people of India. It is as if Do Valera were to be tried by a jury of Literates for his leadership of the Irish people. It is as if a Zionist were to be tried by a jury of Moders for his plans and activities in the establishment of a homestead for the Jews in Palestine. It may be that the system of laws prevailing in the jerusalem where such a case might be tried would permit only such a trial. But it does undoubtedly present a situation where the courts must be most careful to corroborate the result so as to determine whether the jury was guided by law, or was carrying out what it consolved to be a social or political remedy, determined by its own callish interests.
"In all of these movements, money is necessary. In all these movements, great promises are held forth. He one who does not put himself in the place of the stricken and afflicted people to whom the appeal is made can understand or sympathies with the end: storm of the leader, and the trust and confidence of the mission to treat such a situation as this indictment does as a matter of dollars and cents, and monetary fraud, and to judge it as one would judge a criminal transaction, or a associative mining enterprise, is to wart the facts, and to commit a treachery upon the truth. The movement for the redemption of a people has accompanied in making money. The American Revolution was conducted at a financial loan. During the years that the Revolution was fought, and before the Constitution was adopted, and the finances of the country placed upon a stable base, any jury would have been justified in convicting the abatters of the Revolution and the Fathers of the country for a money fraud, when they induced people to invest in the loans, upon the premise of repayment. It will not do to say that these matters were digested of by the verdict of the jury. For that verdict is so inconsistent with the acquittal of all the defendants on all the other charges, that it cannot be defended as a verdict in accord with the facts and the law. The only explanation that can be made is that the jury proposed somehow to see that Carver was stepped. The jury did not believe in Carver and his movement."
"A Bandit! A Bandit!"
On February 5, 1925, Mr. Garvey was dragged off a train by Federal officers and bomb squad men at 125th Street Station, New York City (within four blocks of his apartment) on his way home from Detroit, after his attorneys had notified him of the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals in affirming the judgment of Judge

Mack's Court. This writer was on the train, and remember how white women screamed. "A handshit! A handshit!" he stucched when the heavily armed men surrounded the Pulliman carr and rushed at Mr. Garvey, attacking him at the same time. The next meaning he was taken to court and formally committed to Atlanta prison, despite the fact that the prosecuting attorney in the case had agreed with Mr. Garvey's attorneys (Kohn & Nagler) to accompany him on the 6th, at which the Government would judge him in the Dumbo prison, while his attorneys presented a wolf of cortorian, and to evoke him to confer with the other attorney of the U. N. I. A. about the organization's business. Despite all these arrangements, every word of which was broken, Mr. Garvey was rushed off to Atlanta the next day (the 6th) without being allowed to confer with either his attorneys or the other officers of the organization.

manifest unfairness and
with such a palpable
attempt at persecution
as this one."
What Two White Newspapers
Theught
There are two editorials printed in white newspapers at that time, which give one some very clear reasons that caused Mr. Garvey's imprisonment. The New York Evening Bulletin in its issue of February 7, 1928, states:
"Garvey is a Negro, but even a Negro is entitled to have the truth told about him.
"Garvey has been ridiculed, laughed at and buffooned by New York newspapers ever since he came to this city. He did many strange things, it is true, but he performed many fine acts, tos. The Bulletin gains nothing by taking up Garvey's cause, but truth demands that it be admitted that he offered his race an ideal. He pre-

He said: "All we need at this time, more than ever, are men of vision, who can realize the incentive given by the great Marcus Garvey." He pleaded with the members to inclocate the spirit of adventure like other races, and an soon as we come to the full realization we will no longer be a slave race, but four hundred million free men and women.
Other speakers were the lady presidents, Mrs. Ida Alexander, and Mrs. D. Johnson, who spoke on the educational program with special emphasis on the Universal Liberty University.

for the book of Genesis was most successful and made the content very keen. All who helped to make the function a success were thanked by the president who dismissed the meeting in time for the meeting to return to the evening mass meeting.
The chief speakers for the evening were the 1st vice-president and Mr. A. U. M. Henry. Songs and recitations were rendered alternately by the choir, Miss C. Wynn and the Juvenile Owing to the unsettled condition of the weather the meeting was not kept late as usual. On July 24 the mass meeting was attended by quite a fair gathering inside as well as outside of the building. The chaplain was master of ceremonies and he took his text from the book of Judges. His sermon was short but up to the point and inspiring. The program was begun with the reading of the front page of the Negro World by the lady president, followed by an address by Miss U. Wynn and then a song entitled "Victory" by the choir. Mr. T. Murphy gave an inspiring talk on the U. N. I. A. and the speaker was greatly applauded. Brother Henry sang to the delight of all, and then the president roused the hearts of the audience to the potency of Negro's Patriotism.
Those that had been challenging the Negro's right for equity had been again wounded after hearing such an able address that tends to enhance the interest of the Negro everywhere. The 1st vice-president continued the program by reading from the Negro World one of the interesting speeches delivered in 1920 by the president-general.
The closing number on the program was a song by M. E. Hutchinson, a heroine of the Florida Division and late assistant treasurer. On that the time may not be far when our leader shall be relieved from his incarceration is the sincere wish of the noble and true hearts that constitute our division.

Please permit me space in your valuable columns to chronicle the and tidings of the death of one most dear to us. Mr. Marie-Marie Atkins, a great devotee of Garvoyann, and wife of our brother and friend, Mr. Samuel Atkins, first vice-president of the Camagney Division.
The deceased was born twenty-seven years ago in the city of Castran, St. Lucia, B. W. L. Her and death took place in Camagney City on Sunday, the 24th of July, 1977, after a lingering sickness of nearly a year. But such sickness was enmobled and cheered by the devotion of a loving husband, who left nothing undone to restore his wife to health.
Her body was conveyed to the grave friends and well-wishers, including the entire staff and many members of the division.

MIAMI, FLA.
The Miami Division held its conventional services August 3 to 7. They were well attended by the citizens, members and friends. The subjects for the various nights were well thrashed out by those who participated. On Sunday, August 7, we had a grand parade, attended by all auxiliaries. After the return of the paraders the meeting was called to order by the chaplain, Mr. T. U. Spelid, at 3.65 p.m. with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," after which the chair rendered an anthem. Mr. P. C. Scoutlandbury, first vice-president, made a remarkable opening address, followed by an address by Mrs. Sadie Jackson, Mr. G. M. Brown introduced Mrs. Hanna Taylor, whose paper reading thrilled the hearts of her hearers. After an address by Major J. R. Nemora, we were favored with quartette's selection (the African Four), who were given thunderous applause. Address by Mr. John Gibson, who raised the collection, while the choir rendered an anthem; a paper by Mrs. Lilly Culmer, our lady president. The president of the Miami Division, Hon. C. Green, then introduced M. M. C. Boudy, president of the West Palm Beach division, whose address was well applauded. The meeting came to a close by singing the national anthem.
The evening meeting was called to order by Chaplain T. U. Speld at 8 o'clock. Our efforts were crowded with marked success by having forty visitors from the West Palm Beach division, including M. C. Boudy, president. The chaplain, Mr. T. U. Speld, read the ritual, while the chaplain of the West Palm Beach read the Scripture lesson for the evening. After the singing of the hymn, "God of the Right," the meeting was turned over to the Hon. C. Green, who in turn called on Mr. John Gibson to make the opening address. The program was as follows: Selection by Mrs. Sadie Jackson, entitled "I Can Hear Garvey Calling," followed by an address from Mr. Thomas Graves of the West Palm Beach division. Mr. A. E. Frank, of the West Palm Beach division, also gave us a warm address. We were again favored with a quartet by the Miami African Fur, entitled "The River Nile," for which great applause was given. The collection was then raised, with the choir rendering an anthem, followed by addresses by Mrs. Margaret Gibson and Major Hall. The president of the West Palm Beach division areas amidst great applause, and in his most enthusiastic manner kept the audience spellbound for forty-five minutes. The meeting came to a close by singing the national anthem.

This division was honored with a visit from the Hon. Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, fourth assistant president general, on July 17, with her secretary, Miss Rafael Thomas. Lady Davis' visit was announced some time in advance and a full house greeted her appearance. At 8 p. m. Lady Davis entered the hall, escorted by Mrs. Adina Young, lady president, and Miss Violet Crumble, first lady vice-president. When they entered the hall the president rose with the audience and ordered the Ethiopian Anthem to be sung while half a dozen children quietly led Lady Davis and her staff to the rostrum.
The meeting was opened as usual with the ritualistic service conducted by Mr. A. Carter, acting chaplain, and then handed over to the president, Mr. W. W. Tennyson.
The program was as follows: Welcome address by the president; solo by Mr. Murray, a visitor; address by Mr. W. E. T. Pearson; solo by Miss Ethel James, lady president Celbo division.
At this juncture the president introduced Lady Davis. Although in bad health, Lady Davis did not fail to respond, but boldly stepped forward and delivered her message as is her custom. She spoke of her illness in arriving at Havana, and returned thanks to the many friends who rallied around her in the name of the organization and declared her breast a safe repository for their devoted service. She spoke for twenty minutes, telling of the re-
nurses of Mother Arden and the study of Negroes to the U. N. I. A., also our debt to the Men. Marvus Gurray, founder of this life movement. During the failure of her health she was forced to curtail her address with regret, but promised to return in the near future. Before leaving, she burgled for the support of Liberty University, as education is the foundation of nationhood. Miss Rachel Thomas, Lady Davie's secretary, was the next speaker. She spoke elegantly on the coming together of Negroes no as to prepare a place for Negro children, as she notied Negro boys leaving college, coming to Cuba, going into the case fields to cut name, which is a disgrace to the race.
After an address by Mrs. Adina Young, lady president, the president made the closing remarks and the meeting closed with the singing of the Ethiopian anthem.

The program for the evening was rendered by the Juveniles, who are being drilled and trained in the arts of military discipline by Capt. Will Base, World War veteran and a great lover of children. I want to state right here that it was one of the best programs the writer has had the pleasure of listening to for a long time. Meadames Estelle Harris, president; Florence Johnson, teacher, and M. L. Glymp, honorary superintendent, deserve special commendation for the enthusiastic manner in which they labored to make the program a success.

Sunday, August 9, was indeed a happy day for both old and young. Bridgeport is at last to have an up-to-date division. The people are enthusiastic for Pren. Calebly Robinson of Universal Liberty University came and put new Mio into us.
The meeting was full of inspiration and real good. Pren. Robinson explained the ideals of the association and made a decidedly good impression. Many high school students participated and gave their names for membership in the organization.
The sum of $88 was subscribed for the purchase of property for a Liberty Hall to ensure a stable and progressive membership.
Bridgeport is progressive and the spirit of Marcus Garvey and Garveyism is burning in the hearts of many anxious supporters here. The flag of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall not trample in the dust. The name of our Liberty University shall be forever a grand and glorious reality.

MARIANAO, CUBA
Friday, July 3, will ever be remembered in the history of the Mariannas Division of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. when the division had the pleasure of enjoying a visit of Lady Henrietta Vistain Davia, fourth assistant president-general of the U. N. I. A. Lady Davis and her private secretary, Miss Rachel Thomas, arrived at the railway station at 6:30 a. m., where they were met by the lady president, Miss Ethel James. Messrs Clifford Judah and Alfred Hamilton, all officers of the division, and immediately motered to the home of the lady president. Lady Davis was not enjoying good health, but in spite of such and news the hall was packed in the afternoon to standing capacity, with members and friends from far and near to hear even one word from the distinguished visitor's lips.
After the ritualistic ceremony, conducted by the chapain, Mr. R. A. Perrin, the president, Mr. James Gardner, addressed the audience. He took for his subject "Strength," and pointed
You too,can Earn $200 aWeek
I Will Show You How, Without Investment, Experience or Training, You Can Make $800 in 30 Days and Be on the Way to a Big Success
IF YOU are making less than $100 a week, write to me at once, and I will show you how you can more than double your income. You can be your own boss—you can work wherever you please—two hours a day—three hours a day—six hours a day—and make from $4 to $10 for every hour you work.
Inside of thirty days you can own a thriving prosperous business, buying any money. You can become one of the big money-makers in your community by mailing the coupon below.
You Get Your Money at Ones
If you will mail the coupon at once, I will explain how I will arrange things so that you will get your profit the same day you earn it. If you make $30 in one day, you will have the $30 in cash in the evening of the same day. You don't have to deliver the coats or collect the money due. I do that. When you drop an order into the mail-box, you are through, and you have your profits in your pocket.
I am one of the largest manufacturers of high-grade topcoats and raincoats in America. In every community I appoint a representative, and this representative has the same opportunity of making money, as most merchants, doctors, and even men have. My representative does not have to pay rent nor salaries, nor take any of the other ordinary business risks and expenses. All the profit he makes he keeps for himself.
People like to buy direct from the factory, for all the money saved by selling this way is passed on to the customer. They know all about Comer All-Western Topcoats and Rocky Mountain Topcoats. It is a common thing for one of my representatives to make $20 in a single day, and every dollar they make is not profit. J. R. Head, of Kanan, did. In a single day Mr. Head made $9.95 clear profit for himself. R. W. Kringer made $30 in half an hour. George Garon cleared $44 profit his very first day.
I want you to take as many my representatives, and all your needs to call on my customers and send me their orders. It is the most pleasant, dignified and profitable work that anyone can do.
Build Up a Permit, Profitable Business for Yourself
I don't want you to think that this is any temporary proposition. You will soon find, after you get started, that your business grows week by week and month by month. Every year's business is bigger than last year's. And when you become known as a Credit representative, business will roll in just for the asking.
This depends on how much time you drive
this proposition. You can make anywhere
an hour to 200 a week. R. A. Bryant of
Maryland, 12:00 for my wife, who
is a 100 a week worker, and
W. I. McCarthy of New York,
who is 11 a day for my wife and
I would go on and take you
and my supervisor who have just
worked with me. I would go on to make
anything I can do to help you
where to go what to my needs to do what
we need.

call the necessity of being manifestly physically and financially strong. At this question Lady Dodds and her private secretary came in, escorted by the lady president and two other officers of the division, when the first verse of the Nibbleton Anthon was sung by the congregation. The dinging-duck vinter was introduced by the president.
She stood and spoke of her inability to speak to the deceive of her hearts, owing to illness, but by God's help her strength would seem be restored, when she would give them satisfaction. She then introduced her private secretary, Miss R. Thomas, whom she said would address the audience in English and Spanish. She then left the meeting.
The president went on with the program as follows: Dust, "Beautiful Dream," by Misses Iris Cressy and Whitred Graham; address, Mr. Alfred Hamilton; address, Miss Rafael Thomas, who gave a lengthy story of her tour through the island along with Lady Davis visiting the various divisions and ended her discourses with a plan for unity, love and concert; dust, "Abide With Me," by Mr. Amen Graham and daughter, Miss Whitred. The meeting closed with the singing of the Ethiopian Anthem.
Lady Davis remained with us for 91 days during which time she was still unable to work. On July 20, she made a short talk on "Education," pointing out its importance and being asked the parents and guardians to give to the children education which will enable them to be the kind of men and women worthy of the race. Hymn number 14 from the ritual was sung and on leaving the hall the Epilogian Anthem was sung which brought the meeting to a close. Lady Davis and her private secretary left the next day for Cannagway to preside at the convention of all the divisions of the U. N. I. A. in Cuba.

How to Get Started
Don't Delay—Get Started
El Hon. Fred A. Toote ha presentado la reunión de su cargo como presidente general interino de la organización, la cual tuvo efecto el día 15 de los corrientes. Vivimos en medio de una interminabla cadena de cambios; pero doquiera no haya cambios no habrá progreso.
Una fecha memorable. Importancia que ella revista. La previen de la injusticia mundial. Nuestro programa y sus enemigos. La initacion es la mas sincera de las aduaciones. Nuestro objetivo es cuestion de lucha y perseverancia.
Asi acontez requiramente con la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Ella tiene que seguir adelante, cualesquiera que sean los cambios, para llevar a vías realizables el gran propósito que patrocina.
Con la reunición del Hon, Toose, quien pone como excusa su estado del salud, resultado de su ardua labor como presidente general interino, el Hon, E. B. Knox, presidente de la division de Chicago, ha sido nombrado representante personal del Hon, Marcus Garvey.
El miércoles 17 del presente agosto, fecha memorable para todos los que constituiimos e impulsamos la nueva orientación del negro moderno, complió el Hon. Marcus Garvey el cuadrigésimo año de su natalicio. Los miembros y amigos leales de la organización sintieron indescriptibles emociones varias a medida que la fecha se aproximaba, y no era para menos dada la importacia que ello reviste para nosotros y para el martir, que de una manera estóica sufre los aguijones de la perfidia y la traición, en una celda de la penitenciaría federal de Atlanta.
El Hon. Knox es una persona capacitada y un miembro entusiasta de la organización, quien induciblemente obtendra la coperaación de millones que creen en el Hon. Presidente General y desanque que su política prevaleza en la dirección de los multipes asuntos de la institución.
Sedantes raptus de felicidad, bastante orgullo en el hombre martirizado y un poco de amargor por su persecución y por debajo de todas estas tentaciones se siente, a la verdad, algo de nostalgia por la ausencia de aquel que no se encuentra entre nosotros, y que lo consideramos lo basante distanciado de nuestro ambiente para impulzar el magno moviliento que tan noble y sinceramente el limpirara.
Este movimiento de progreso tiene que continuar su marcha, hacia la consecución del objeto para el cual fue creado. Mas que un deseo, debe ser considerado un deber el cooperar activamente con aquellos a quienes se les ha confidado autoridad, para encarrier por buena senda el destino de los pueblos negros del universo.
Dobemos considerarnos felices ante todo, porque Dios nos ha permitido mantenerlo vivo un año mas; porque el es la figura de inspiración de millones de negros que miramos hacia el como furo luminoso en la roca de la incertidumbre, que nos hic la guiar a puerto seguro donde encontramos la rehabilitación humanista a que somos acreedores como maz, como pueblo, como nación. Debemos estar acongojados y heridos en lo mas intimo, porque nuestro cosazones han sido ton torturados por la aita presión de la injusticia mundial, pues lo que ya se destila es amarguras y dolores cruentos por lo inconsiderado del ambiente que nos rodea.
Los extranjeros y las leyes
J. J. Davis, Secretario de Trabajo, se balla tomando medidas para la expulsion completa de todos los extranjeros que han entrado en el país ilegalmente. El actia en los informes que ha recibido de las fragrantes violaciones de la Ley de Immigración que se acentuan cada vez más.
Una de las medidas que se propone el Secretario de Trabajo en conseguir del fuerza y de las industrias principales la cooperación necesaria para que ningun extranjero pueda entrar al servicio del ejército o en fabrica alguna sin presentar su documentación complete.
Nos sentimos solos, porque nos hace falta el levanta piento espiritual conque nos comfortara la presencia del leader en nuestras filas; y nos sentimos taciturnos porque no sentimos el poder y elocuencia de su voz, la cual nos laca solar, nos hacía esperar y nos animaba a trabajar mas, si desacamos estar libres de la maldad y tropelias de que somos recipientes.
Davis está siguiente un plan empleado por Henry. Ford desde hace tiempo en la solicitud de empleados y obreros. El fabricante de automóviles, exigie a todo el que les solicita trabajo, que presente las pruebas de su entrada legal en los Estados Unidos, de su intención de permanecer en el país y de hacerse ciudadano.
Otro año ha pasado con sus vanas esperanzas, sus incertidumbres y sus desiluciones. A este tiempo el año pasado esperabamos obtener lo mismo que esperamos a la hora presente; pero los férreos portales de la prisión han permanecido inhiestos sin girar sobre sus goznes, inmutables a las aclamaciones de una gran parte de humanidad que aboga por el hombre martir, y esta es la hora que no se nos ha devuelto el tesoro que guardan esas pesadas puertas de la prisión.
Se rumora que la actitud del Secretario Davis al declarar la guerra a los "perniciosos" fue alentada por los sucesos desarrollados en relación con el caso Saco-Vanzetti. Los funcionarios en Washington aunque manteniendose apartados del asunto han sido alarmados por los desórdenes generales resultantes del caso. Eliminando a la mayoría de los extranjeros que han entrado ilegalmente en el país se espera que los extremos radicales se calmen.
Mas todo no es tristeza y congojas. Alguna compensación han tenido los amigos de Marcus Garvey, y esta ha venido de una manera peculiar. La prisión del hombre ha venido a tener un efecto sorprendente en todos aquellos elementos que no forman parte de la organización. Los que le amamos hemos tenido la fortuna de vivir para oir de labios de sus mas encarnizados enemigos, cantarle las mejores lisonjas por su obra constructiva. Vemos con placer que aquellos que se burlaron de su programa, han tratado de moldearlo para darle al mundo una copia del mismo y debemos aquí punctualizar que "la limitación es la maa sincera de las adulclaciones."
El Secretario dijo que aunque no habia modo de determinar con exactitud el número de extranjetos entradas ilegalmente en el país son muchos miles y entre el número de esos que han violado la ley, hay indudabamente muchos radicales.
Miles entran por la frontera de Mejico exadiendo la vigilancia de los guardas de la frontera y cientos, tal vez miles, entran en los Estados Unidos y se quedan por medio de la Ley de los Marineros que les permite estar en el puerto de desembargo por secreta días. Muchos entran en autoservil por la frontera del Caradá y otros muchos vienen en embarcarciones pequeñas de las Antillas perdiéndose después en el interior de los Estados del Sur.
Nosotros hemos sido testigos de meetings en clertas ocasiones y sittos, do se han reunido negros y hemos oido los mensajes inspirados, conferencias y disertaciones de otroa labios y otras plataformas, donde Marous Garvey jamas hubiese sido permitido para exponer lo básico de su programa. El garveismo, llamose así o por cualquier otro nombre, es el tópico en la orden del fila entre los negros. A medida que pasan los años la obra se extiende y el deso de Garvey se va materializando y cumulando.
Un expecto del periodismo
Sagún ciertos diarios, el señor Mussolini ha hecho una excepción con la señora Sarfatti, complaciente en el libro en que esa escritora narra la vida del famosa gobrienta y manifestando públicamente su complacencia, porque le permite verse "en el tiempo, en el espacio y con relación a los acontecimientos." En general, Mussolini, al decir de los diarios italianos y de la susodicha escritora, no siente el menor placer al ver reproducida esufig en los diarios ilustrados ni ensalzada su obra por las hojas más o menos oficiales. El laudatorio es criterio, ó, mejor, en es de alabar ese buen gusto. En este particular, los diarios y revisitas italianos no parecen dispostos a respetar a-todo trance ese gusto del "duce", ni parece que se reebelda en este punto sea motivo de graves diagustos. Causa de ello es principalmente la simpatia que el "duce" siente por es agente que la ha creado, formado y lanzado a la vida pública: por el periodismo. "Sabéis cuanto respetel el periodismo es que lo omo lo he demostrado—decia recientemente—. Lo que unicamente deseo es que el periodismo se de cuenta de ciertas necesidades y de ciertas fatallades históricas. Deseo que el periodismo colabore con la nación."
Deseos analogos han existido en gobernantes de un tipo semejante y en otros opuesto al del "duce" italiano; pero se ha entendido de muy diversas materas la forma de llevarse a cabo esa colaboración. Precisamente una de las formas que con más constancia ag han visto favorecidas ha sido la que menos agrada al presidente fascista; esto es: el aspecto gráfico de los diarios. Guillermo II, por ejemplo, era uno de sus más fervoros partidarios, y, aparte del placer que le procuraba el ver reproducidos en las páginas de los diarios de más circulación las encases de su vida cotidiana, el Kaiser* manifesto alguna vez que consideraba esta forma de publicidad como un gran agerife de cofesión monárquica, como una fuerza política de primer orden y como una forma moderna de escribirse la Historia. La literatura panegirica tenia a sus ojos un valor semejante, y veia, al decir de quines le conocian intimamente, en las meladas columnas del "Lokal Anzeiger" un testimonio del ejercicio del Poder, vinculado ya en el, ya en los demos miembros de la Familia Imperial, ya en sus ministros más favorecidos. Su situación actual no ha entiado ese criterio, y se recordara la serie de incidentes a que dio lugar el que una casa americana "filmase" al Kaiser bajo todos los aspectos de su destierro, incidentes que obligaron a la casa cinematográfica a desearuir su cinta.
El lector cotidiano, que e ve desfilar ante sus ojos, dia por día, una, dos, tres, veinte fotografias de todos los momentos, de todos los rasgos, de todos los aspectos de la vida pública o privada de sus gobernantes, no se da cuenta de la p. oderosa labor de infiltración, de "pe netración pacifica", que el diario i lleva su animo, llegando a imponer, en la gran mayoria la idea infuja de que la realidad del moment posee un arraigo immutable.—El Sol, P.

B. and D. of B. These representatives gave impiring addresses relative to the cause.

At 8 p. m. our mass meeting was called to order by our president, Mr. R. C. Russell, and, after the preliminary arises, the acting chaplain, Mr. C. A. Gordon, gave his religious discourse.

After the addresses of Mr. R. T. Webley and the president the meeting came to a close in the usual form.
The blessing of God continues in this locality with the gentle showers of rain on the thirsty fields around. The small settlers who on a small basis have started agriculture so as to combat hard conditions existing, are axed filled with hope of the future's bright prospect. The luxuriant green fields of corn, potatoes and melons in full bearing may give much encouragement to others to follow this model example of launching out for independence, though not on an elaborate scale.
On August 7 the Florida Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association had a pleasant evening service. The meeting was well attended by the general public and all were much satisfied with its appropriate program. Mr. B. A. Martin, president of the division, was chairman, and he opened the meeting with an address on "Freedom."

NEW ORLEANS, LA.
The Universal Negro Improvement Association of New Orleans Liquidator held a spendid mass meeting on Sunday, August 7, at 8 P. M., which was the continuation of our local convention. The usual opening order was conducted by the chaplain, Mr. S. A. Jones.

SOLVE THIS PROBLEM
What will become of the Negro one hundred years from now if he does not become a powerful national unit?
Will he allow himself to become a victim of the white man's system of economic exploitation?
Will he continue to laugh the time away until the crisis comes, then in despair will the surviving members of the race commit race suicide by miscegenation?
These are the questions that are agitating the minds of thoughtful persons, and that is why we want you to get a copy of "Africa for the Africans," written by Marcus Garvey, so that you can get a perspective of the future and prepare for the changes that are bound to come.

P. Thompson, of Algeria, subject. "Man, Know Thyself," after which he made a special appeal for Garvey's Day Fund, and a liberal amount was raised; recital, "The White Man's Game," by Miss Ida Vollson. Too much cannot be said of the manner in which Miss Vollson mastered the 70-verse poem written by our esteemed leader, Marcus Gavney, while in Atlanta. The audience was held spellbound for forty minutes listening to our little genius. It was followed by great applause; the president lauded Miss Vollson for her splendid composition in the recital of the poem. A special offering was lifted by the Universal African Black Cross Nurses for our deceased friend and brother, Wells' family. Mrs. Jane Fikes, of Meridian, Mississippi, delivered her farewell address and urged the members to carry on until our leader comes back to us. The meeting closed in the usual manner with benediction by the chaplain.
On Monday night the subject for discussion "The Educational System of the Negro in This Community," was discussed intelligently by Misses Doris Burch and Lillie A. Jones; Prof. I. S. Chambers, Mr. H. B. Gilbert; the New, James Reed, and Mr. Samuel Smith. Every delegate spoke in the support of Liberty University and a resolution was drawn pleasing continued support. The usdii closing order ensued.
On Tuesday night, Prof. I. S. Chambers, Mr. S. Smith, B. E. Gilbert, J. A. McCoy, T. P. Thompson and Mr. H. Moors were the principal speakers in the discussion. Mr. Moore represented the National Negro Business League of New Orleans.
Thursday night we were blessed with the presence of Mme. M. L. T. Demec, the International Organizer of the Negro Peoples of the World; every one present was enthused at her inspiring and broad views of the U. N. I. A. she expressed them. Mme. Demec brought to us greetings from the Northern communities.
On Friday night Mme. Demena was the principal speaker. She spoke of the principles of the organization, and the necessity of sticking to them instead of personalities. Let us keep our private affairs out of the organization. Through telegram to her, Hon. Marcus Garvey had sent his best wishes to the membership. "Let us lay aside the weights that so easily beset us and run with patience the race that is set before us." After a few remarks by the speaker, the membership then moved that a subscription to the Times Picayune and a purse be sent the Hon. Marcus Garvey for his birthday from the New Orleans U. N. I. A. Mme. Demena than informed the audience that a special meeting would be held on August 17 at which time she will speak. Her number impressed the audience with the necessity of supporting LIBERTY UNIVERSITY and THE NEGRO WORLD. Mme. Demena then ended her discussion in a climax on Atlanta being the most famous spot in America today, because it houses the greatest Negro the world has ever known. The doors were then open for new members. All joined heartily in singing, "All Around the World," which was followed by the Ethiopian Anthem. Benediction by the chaplains, Mr. S. A. Jone.

Harris Grows Penitent
Garvey in in prison, ‘tis true, but
haw he really “xone"? No, the mont
vicious of hia enemies wilt admit that
Garveyinm goes merrily marching of.
Let us quote Mr. George Harrig for
Instance, one of the immortal eight
who signed the famous better to Mr.
Daugherty. Under date of J@huary 23,
1926, in the N.Y. News, he states:
“By his ceonvition and im-
pricenment he hee fecusced in
even « wider circle, the minds of
the bleck milliens threugheut the
world, net only upon himecH, but
upen hie propaganda. The story
is given wide uredense thet Gervey
wee wrengtully convicted that,
had he net been his ewn lewyer
that he would have been freed,
that had the English government
net been behind hie presseution
thet he would never have been
contenced te Atiants. Be that ao
Ht may in thie recurrence ef the

that the white world must resken
with hie radical demande, that it
ne longer seck te herness and ex-
plelt the black people ef the
