Africans Will Not Subscribe to Doctrine of the White Man Being Master and the Black Man a Servant—The Tyrannies of the Alien Will No Longer Be Endured BANTU FIGHT AGAINST "ARISTOCRACY OF SKIN" Age-Long Struggle for Bread and Meat "Between the Haves and the Have-Nots"—Spirited People Will Not Accept Starvation and Ruin Without Striking a Blow By R. V. BELOPE-THEMA What is the meaning of the present Native unrest? This is the question which is being asked all over the Union by politicians, business men, municipal authorities and all students of Native affairs. For this unrest, which seems to be universal, has certainly disturbed the minds of many people who are looking upon it with fearful questioning. The country-side appears to be scared; everywhere there seems to be signs of uneasiness and anxiety. In some quarters this unrest is regarded as a prelude to a Native rising as shown by the speeches delivered in the House of Assembly during the debate on the Native Administration Bill, and by resolutions passed at meetings of farmers in the Free State and Muscat. There can be no doubt that to the majority of Europeans a serious situation, which requires drastic Government action, has arisen in the relations between white and black. made at Capetown by Mr. Nduma, chairman of the Capetown branch of the African National Congress. In this speech Mr. Nduma accuses the police, particularly those of Dutch origin, of illtreating Africans in Capetown, and describes this police action as "un-Christian, inhuman and cowardly." According to the report Mr. Nduma alleged that Dutch constables kicked and abused natives who spoke English to them. Whether or not these allegations are correct it is not for me to The demand for more pay and better working conditions, which is being made by Native workers and laborers in urban and rural districts, is viewed as a disturbing feature of this situation; and when it is remembered that the economic structure of this country is founded upon Native labor it is not surprising that there should be a cry for punishment action by the Government, in which the Minister of Justice, who, by the way, seems to be more concerned with Native affairs than with justice, has already promised to undertake the condition clauses of the Administration Bill. The South African white man, as the result of the institution of slavery which was established by the Dutch East India Company, has come to regard black men and women as the natural servants of the white race. To him all white men are masters and all black men are servants by Divine decree. It is this belief in Divine interference in human affairs which is responsible for such laws as Masters and Carvings Act, Native Land Act, Color Bar Act, Pass Laws and other repressive and discriminating legislation with which the statute books of the Dutch are filled. The belief is a legacy of the institution of slavery, and was extended to the North when this institution was abolished in the South in 1834. One of the foremost leaders of the Great Trek. Piet Retief, can safely be regarded as having been responsible for the Native policy which the North has pursued since the battle of Blood River. In his declaration of independence from British rule he made this striking statement: "We are resolved . . . to uphold the first principles of liberty; but while we shall take care that no one shall be held in a state of slavery, it is our determination to maintain such regulations as shall . . . procure the proper relations between master and servant." The old Native policies of the Republics of the Transvaal and Orange Free State were influenced by this declaration. The determination to "procure the proper relations between master and servant" was given expression in the constitution of the Transvaal Republic wherein it was stated that "the people (meaning the Dutch people) shall not permit equality between white and black in Church or State." This doctrine of the white man being a master and the black man a servant has been preached and maintained by the North since the days of the Voortrekkers. But the tragedy is that it is today creeping into the South where it was ejected ninety-three years ago. It would seem that the reasons and causes which led to the Great Trek are being vindicated and justified. As I write now there lies before me the report of a speech BAYER ASPIRIN PROVED SAFE Take without Fear as Told in "Bayer" Package BAYER BAYER Do not affect the Heart The Bayer Cross on the front of the Bayer Aspirin proved safe and prescribed by the family-five years for Handchester Lambage Miltonham Palm, Palm The Bayer package contains a specially branded Bayer Aspirin. made at Capetown by Mr. Nduma, chairman of the Capetown branch of the African National Congress. In this speech Mr. Nduma accuses the police, particularly those of Dutch origin, of illtreating Africans in Capetown, and describes this police action as "un-Christian, inhuman and cowardly." According to the report Mr. Nduma alleged that Dutch constables kicked and abused natives who spoke English to them. Whether or not these allegations are correct it is not for me to say, but there can be no doubt that the Cape is rapidly being brought under the tyrannical rule of the North. It is not Mr. Nduma only who has drawn attention to the cruelties perpetrated by the police. Press reports bear witness to his statement. To come back to the question: What is the meaning of the present native unrest? This unrest is not a meaningless event, nor is it a passing phase of our inter-racial problems. It is a sign of a tremendous awakening among the Bantu people. It is an expression of that discontent which has been lying dormant in the hearts of the people since the consummation of union. It is a protest of an exploited, down-trodden and voiceless people against social and economic evils that are threatening our race with ruin and destruction. This unrest is a warning to our rulers, legislators and employers of native labor in urban and rural districts that a situation which demands their serious consideration, as the result of repressive and oppressive legislation, has been created, and that the Bantu people can only tolerate it as long as they must and not a moment longer. It is a warning that starvation and ruin are our race in the face. As I have said in my previous articles, a race of men who are content and prosperous can be influenced by the teachings of demagogues. That fact stands out very clearly that the struggle which against the Bantu people are maintaining against the artistry of the skin" is the ago-long struggle "between the Haves and the Have-Nots; between those who feel keenly that theircessant toll does not bring them in a sufficient return, and those on the other hand who are content to enjoy the extremes of prosperity without inquiring too closely who they are that contribute to it." There is no need to hunt about among the strange new conditions of today for strange new causes of native unrest. This simple fact is quite sufficient explanation, that large numbers of the Bantu people spend their lives in work without getting a fair return for it, frequently without securing for themselves any share of the comforts and amenities of life, and sometimes even without its bare necessities. The remedy for this situation does not lie in the imprisonment, banishment and persecution of Bantu leaders, but in the appointment of a commission to inquire into the economic conditions of the Bantu people in order to enable the government to bring about the necessary reforms. Panama, Aug. 25.—Charges of attempts by the National Coalitionists to provoke the intervention of the United States in the coming Panama elections are made in a manifesto issued here through the Liberal Party which is supporting the present Government of President Rodolfo Chilard. Former President Delilardo Porras heads the Coalitionists, and it is said that he will be a candidates for the Presidency at the elections. The Liberals have been warned to avoid all conflicts over politics, to refrain from all insults and abuses against their opponents and not to carry prohibited weapons. The Liberals charge their opponents with the invenion of abuses and of giving a "political aspect to question of purely personal nature with the treacherous object of provoking once more foreign intervention in our internal affairs." Brig. Gen. M. L. Walker, Governor of the Panama Canal Zone, sailed to New York on the United Fruit ship Panorama today. During the six weeks he will spend in the United States he will coaler at Washington with the Budget Bureau on estimates for the operation and maintenance of the Canal during the fiscal year ending June 30, 16:59. During his absence Colonel Harry Bugan, maintenance engineer, will work on Cervenus. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1987 Experimenting with Radio Set, Talks to African Republic 5,000 Miles Away—Kellogg Sends Messages to Liberia's Secretary of State Like many another discovery or invention, the opening up last week of a new line of wireless communication between this country and the Republic of Liberia, 5,000 miles away, was largely a matter of accident. Nevertheless it never could have happened had it not been for the perseverance and enthusiasm of a young amateur wireless operator. He is George G. Gaede, twenty-seven, son of a wealthy silk manufacturer of Paterson, N. J. While he is in business with his father's firm, most of his spare time is spent experimenting with his wireless receiving and transmitting sets. He began experimenting at the age of thirteen and two years later, in 1915, he received his amateur transmitting license from the Government. He lives at Haledon, about three and a half miles from Paterson, his home being one of the show places of the vicinity about 500 feet above sea level. His radio room is at the top of the house and is about fifteen feet square. He uses a Hartley circuit of a power of 75 watts. The unusual thing about his set is the indoor antenna which is strung around the ceiling. His first communication with the little African republic came last Monday night. He was working with his receiving set when he heard a CQ-call, the call signifying a free message to be picked up by any one. He listened in and he could hardly believe his ears. The operator on the other side told him he was sending from Liberia. He set to work at once to make sure he was right and on ascertaining he was not being hoaxed by transmitting a message to Liberia and receiving the proper answer, he decided to follow up his find with messages on succeeding days. In sending to Liberia he is employing a forty-metre wave length and the signals from the other end come back so loud that sometimes he can hear them on the loud speaker. So far Gaede has succeeded in getting in communication with Liberia every time he tried, which was every day except Tuesday last week. He usually does it from 9.30 p. m. on and he continues for about two hours. 'On Monday he was the medium for an exchange of messages between Edwin Barclay, Secretary of State of Liberia, and Secretary of State Kellogg. During the week he has done the same service for several business firms in New York. There has been considerable difficulty recently in transmitting cable messages to that country. It usually takes three days to communicate through that medium. According to Gacde, a new wireless station is now being constructed in Monrovia, capital of Liberia, by two Americans in the employ of the Liberian Government, to be known as Station 1-AB. It will be completed in sixty days. This last year, the seventh of Women Suffrage, witnessed the seating of 122 women in the Legislatures of thirty-four States, according to a survey completed by the National League of Women Voters. Eleven of the 122 women were elected to the State Senates. Republicans outnumber Democrats by more than 2 to 1, the political division being as follows: Republicans, 56; Democrats, 31; no party designation, 3; non-partisan, 1; independent, 1. Connecticut leads all other States, with sixteen women in its 1927 lawmaking body. Wyoming, the first State to grant suffrage to women, has only one woman legislator. There are more women in the Eastern Legislatures than in the West. At least five or more women are members of the Legislatures of the following States: Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Vermont. The 1927 record of women State legislators is slightly less than that of 1925-1926, when approximately 130 women answered the Legislative roll calls. Dictator's Candidates for National Assembly Are Unanimously Chosen CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 8. Returns from yesterday's polling for the Turkish National Assembly show that, as was anticipated, the delegates of the People's Party were unanimously elected. The candidates for the National Assembly were all named by Mustapha Kemel Pasha, the President and virtual dictator of the Turkish Republic. "To complete our gigantic task of recreating Turkey we are not going to allow any differences of opinion among our beloved countrymen," an election manifesto by the President declared.

Luis Munoz-Marin, a Porto Rico newspaper editor and a representative of the economic committee of the Porto Rico Legislature, arrived at New York recently on the Coamo in an effort to interest American financiers in his country. The sugar, tobacco and fruit industries are already able to take care of themselves, he said, but the cheap labor should draw capital into other enterprises. From 200,000 to 400,000 laborers are always out of work, and Mr. Munoz-Marin suggested that Americans should be able to turn their hands to the fisheries, manufacture of fertilizer from fruit waste, wood pulp forests and leather manufacture. For instance, he said, the shark business is booming. Leather, oil and fertilizer are made, and a new company in the Virgin Islands is doing finely. "At present all that our sharks do in Porto Rico is to eat Americans. They are called 'nationalistic sharks' because they don't eat the Porto Ricana. The natives can't swim out far enough, anyway." Sr. Munoz-Marin will remain in the East several months and hopes that eventually his country will open a permanent office here to interest capital. Warfare Nears Shanghai SHANGHAI, Sept. 3.—The Northerners made two attacks today against the Nationalists in the vicinity of Shanghai. A Northern military airplane tried to demolish the important Khanghan Arsenal, three miles above Shanghai on the Whangpo. Four bombs fell in the arsenal yard, injuring a workman. All work was suspended immediately. Four Northern gunboats shelled the Woosung forts, eleven miles north of Shanghai, at the mouth of the Woosung River. The forts returned the stra. No damage was done. GENEVA. Aug. 31.—Small nations are going to put up a hard fight to "save the League of Nations," according to a spokesman for the Swedish delegation to the Assembly and former Minister Holsti of Finland. They arrived today for the opening of the World Population Conference. According to the theory of the smaller north European nations, the League has become the plaything of the big powers. Heavy opposition, however, has been marshalled against British Foreign Secretary Chamberlain's attempt to lessen the influence of the Council. The withdrawal of Viscount Cecil and Henry de Jouvenel has reduced the determination of the smaller nations, which will probably be joined by Greeks and other Balkan powers and the Latin-American countries if the crisis becomes acute. To be resolve under Chamberlain's policy and Lord Cecil again may be drafted as South Africa's delegate, the role he played at the first assembly. Germany, it is felt, cannot be expected to contribute much toward liberalizing the League. The Swedes believe Berlin wishes to build her armaments up to the level of other powers rather than bring the others down to her level. The Council meets tomorrow for its forty-sixth quarterly session under the Presidency of Senor'Villegas of Chile. A routine program is scheduled, but behind the scenes Foreign Ministers Bridg, Stressmann and Chamberlain are working out a united stand to take before the Assembly. Rhine evacuation will determine the extent of the German's acquiescence to Anglo-French policies. It is gen- early believed disarmament will be subjugated, Dr. A. Britain blaming naval failure on the United States and the collapse of the General Dimension Conference on the Continental powers. The Population Conference, meeting today under the Presidency of Sir Bernard Mallet of England, includes several American delegates, among them Prof. Raymond Pearl and Dean William Watch of Johns Hopkins, Dr. Henry Pratt Parvailbok of New York University, President Little of Michigan, R. M. Bast of Fayvard and Margaret Sanger of New York, birth control advocate. The object of the conference is to create a permanent international organization to study population problems, immigration, vital statistics, etc. It is pointed out that overpopulation is one of the causes of international disturbances and some of the delegates look ahead to the time when the whole world may be overpopulated. American Jews Highly Honored in Jewish Council ZURICH, Switzerland, Aug. 22 (Jewish Telegraphis Agency).—American Jews were given a prominent place in the Council of Jewish Rights, created at the Conference of Jewish Rights, which ended its sessions here on Saturday night. The new organization, which will take the place of the Committee of Jewish Delegations, was formed for the purpose of safeguarding the minority rights guaranteed in the international peace treaties concluded after the World War. Twenty-one seats were given to American Jews out of the fifty-one making up the council. The other thirty are representatives of Jewish groups from various countries. Dr. Stephen S. Wise, president of the American Jewish Congress; Nahum Sokolow, chairman of the executive committee of the Zionist World Organization; Dr. Leo Motshkin of Paris; Dr. Z. H. Chajas, Chief Rabbi of Vienna; Dr. Simon Dubnow, Russian-Jewish historian, and Deputy Isaac Greenbaum of Warsaw were elected to the presidium of the council. The plan of organization for the new body, which was adopted unanimously, was submitted by Louis Lipsky, president of the Zionist Organization in America. TRENTON, Sept. 4. "I'll always take care of sister Sarah" was the promise of John Roberts, a Negro, made at the death bed of his parents many years ago. Only his death at the age of seventy-four early this morning in his little tumble-down home in Bordentown broke that promise. The howling of a dog led neighbors to the storm-scarred shock, where John had struggled to support his sister, seventy-two, until age shackened his footsteps and slowed his hands. When neighbors broke in they found John dead. He was leaning against a wall, apparently dying while watching over his sister, who was critically ill in a chair across the cheerless room. Both had suffered from neglect, county authorities said. Sarah was taken to the hospital of the Burlington County Home for the Aged. Neighbors will pay for the burial of faithful old John. Mayor John Frederick, of Bordentown, had requested that the couple go to the poor house, but they knew this mean separation and both refused. "I just can't live without Sara said John, "and, besides, I-prom Poppy and Mammy I'd keer for just as long as I was able. We" along somehow." John worked the little vegetable in the rear of his home about a year ago, when we made him incapable. Mayor Fred did what he could for John and E and had provisions sent to them time to time. John and Sarah were respected the townfolk.

GARVEY THE FATHER OF INTERNATIONAL RACE CO-OPERATION THE same principle may appeal to many people over a long series of years without finding more than a spasmodic expression. Futile efforts are made from time to time by the dreamers and those who see visions to get enough persons interested in the principle, but they appear to make but little progress. After a fair trial they despair and drop out. But the principle, if rooted in the conditions and needs of large masses of people, does not drop out. It persists, like the good seed planted in congenial soil. Some other dreamer takes hold of the principle and carries it forward a little further. It takes on the aspect of a movement, in the interest of which many have joined and begun active work to make it a success. When all is prepared, the foundation having been laid, the one man who may have been the father of the principle, the idea, and who had nurtured it for years, creates an organization, apparently over night. It was that way with the creation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association by Mr. Marcus Garvey some six years ago. Others had seen the need of an international understanding and cooperation of the Negro people of the world, but they had not the vision, the breadth of outlook and the personal magnetism without which success is never possible, and their dreams remained shadowy phantasm. Mr. Garvey possessed what others had been lacking in, and his appeal for international understanding and co-operation of the Negro people of the world was responded to with a world-embracing interest and enthusiasm which was regarded as an unheard of possibility in the complex and to many enigmatic character of the Negro people. It was the great mass of the Negro people who responded to Mr. Garvey's plea for international understanding and co-operation. What is termed the Negro intelligentsia had no faith in the great principle at stake or the possibility of uniting the Negroes of the world to conserve and protect their own social, civil and economic values, and they are not all convinced by far as yet. They are local or provincial in their outlook on the race and the big world. They are not interested in the Negro in the West Indies, in Latin America, in the United States; they are only interested in themselves and their small fortunes in the places where they find themselves.

After much storm and stress an intelligent disposition is being shown upon the part of some who have been very hostile to Mr. Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to give Mr. Garvey some credit for the splendid service he has rendered the Negro race. They are few in numbers, it is true, as compared to the multitudes who have believed in Mr. Garvey and his principle, and held up his hands from the beginning; but it is worth while to recognize their disposition to be fair, however they have come by the disposition. The Negro problems everywhere, the problems of the natives in Africa itself, are vast and difficult and will require all of the resources of the Negro leaders, supported by the Negro masses, to get the best and not the worst results out of their solution for the Negro people. Yes, Mr. Marcus Garvey is the father of Negro international understanding and co-operation. THE ENTERPRISING WHITE RACE EVER since Charles Lindbergh, in a non-stop flight, made the air crossing from New York to Paris, the spirit of adventure in the air has taken possession of white men's minds, to the exclusion almost of everything else. Hardly a week passes but soon during aviator braves the elements in airplanes in attempts to indicate or surpass Lindbergh's glorious feat. And great toll of human lives is being taken. Attempts to conquer the Pacific have occurred in death to ten flyers, included among whom is a woman. The independent Atlantic has sealed the doom of five, a woman being imprisoned in the honor roll, while hope for the safety of a Georgetown Brazil is all but abandoned. But in spite of the known horrors and the recurring grim reminders of tragedy that ensued, others come forward undismayed, determined to save their fellows failed, or die. England, France, Germany and America are vying in for their country a niche, higher than any, in the hall scene. Of such stuff is the leader of twentieth century. Such is the importance which he attaches to achievement. So truly has he gauged psychological values as he goes about his daily business, straining every nerve to maintain his perch at the top of the ladder. For the white man, wise in the ways of the world, knows that the more he demonstrates his vaunted "superiority," by so much does he lessen the resistance of such invertebrates or unfortunates as he has reduced to subjection and servitude. He is a past master at propaganda and an adept at "striking terror into the heart" of the victim. Pope Sends Greetings To Negro Catholics 3-Day C Greetings from Pope Pius to delegates at the third convention of Federated Colonies of the United States on S The great battles of the future will be fought in the air. Soon battleships will be obsolete. And so he proceeds with feverish haste to perfect the airplane, the instrument on which he must depend to keep intact his ill-gotten gains, garnered from the corners of the earth. Behind the innocuous spectacle of a "Spirit of St. Louis" speeding swiftly across the Atlantic to Paris, or a "Pride of Detroit," a millionaire on board, gaily navigating the globe, lies a grim, set purpose—the determination to bring to perfection the greatest death-dealing machine modern civilization knows. White men have acquired wealth and power at the price of their humanity, and of necessity they must stand prepared. They dismiss as piffle the statement, "Those who live by the sword shall perish by the sword." Rather do they think that "God is on the side of the strongest battalions." But to return to Lindbergh. When this young man arrived safely at Paris, the world got busy tracing his lineage, seeking the identity of the people who must bask in his reflected glory. Americans held their heads high, for he was born in America. A fast cruiser was sent to bring him home. Irishman and Swede, from whose stock his parents came, thanked God that they were what they were. And this brings us to this reflection: There is a great deal in the present frenzied competition for supremacy in the air to make the Negro think. Without a nation of his own, with the resources of his own Africa quietly and efficiently being torn from his hands, he stands at the foot of the ladder. Given airplanes such as are manufactured today Negroes could doubtless accomplish as much, but this, aside from serving as invigorating propaganda, would settle nothing. What the Negro must yearn for, what he must work for, is a nation of his own on the continent of Africa, where the genius of Negroes will, without let or hindrance, fashion airplanes that will make flights from Africa to the ends of the earth a commonplace. Let him do this and cease finding false satisfaction in the splendid deeds of skill and daring by his white brothers. THE BATTLE HYMN OF AFRICA Africa's sun is shining above the horizon clear, The day for us is rising, for black men far and near; Our God is in the front line, the heav'nly battalion leads. Onward, make your banners shine, ye men of noble deeds. There's a flag we love so well— The red, the black and green, Greatest emblem tongues can tell, The brightest ever seen. When pandemonium breaks, the earth will tremble fast, Nor oceans, seas nor lakes shall save the first or last; Our suffring has been long, our cries to God ascending; We have counted ev'ry wrong which calls for an amending. So into battle let us go, with the Cross before; The Angels, great, from high to low, watch forevermore; We see the enemy scatter, and watch their ranks divide— With God there is no fetter for whom He doth provide. All God's children, in trouble, or burdened down with care, No matter where, how humble, His love is ever there; So cheerful let our courage be and rally for the King, The Savior, Christ, the Lord, is He, whom angels tidings bring. Ho, Africa, victorious! See, the foe goes down! The Christ and Simon lead us to wear the triumphant crown; Jesus remembers dearly the sacrifice with the cross, So raise those banners gladly—never to suffer loss! An so the war is ending, the victor's palm is ours; Crushed 'neath a sorry bending, like dead, fallen flowers Thus lay the proud men of the day, all lost forever, Where the demons never say to God, "We'll deliver." MARCUS GARVEY. Copyright, July, 1924. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS If the white people of the United States may be designated as civilized, so may the Negroes. Our contention is, and always will be, that there should be no discrimination based upon race, among civilized people. We believe this principle to be entirely sound in law and in morals.—Washington Tribune. look well when a crime is committed; not for black criminals, but criminals. Not through eyes of prejudice, but with eyes single to do one's duty. If this were done; if officers of the law would perform their duties in an unbiased and unprejudiced manner, then there would not be so many colored men suffer for the deeds of white men and women who hide their crime behind a blacken face and race predilection—St. Louis Argus. Don't be afraid to say something commendable about the one in the race who is doing something; it will certainly not hurt your stock in trade, and will convince the public that you are broad enough to say a good word for your fellow-man.—Oklahoma Eagle. So much of Negro fraternalism misses the spirit of the enterprise that the break of a new vision on its leadership might serve to save it from the costly errors into which it has fallen. —Birmingham Reporter. Inherited traits are hard to overcome, but they can be counteracted and overcome, if you have the determination and the will to do it.—Richmond Farnet. While the whites lose about one-half their birthrate the colored are losing two-thirds. Of course, our white fellow citizens owe it to themselves and to us to be of every service they can in removing the causes for our condition which they control, but we must not forget that physical unfitness is a badge of imperfection, readily seen and readily made use of by our enemies. We must take care of our bodies.—Chicago World. The secret of success in business is not such a secret after all. It means to buy judiciously, to keep expenditures below the amount of cash taken in, to offer to the buying public the best service possible, to use part of profits for improvements instead of investing in luxuries, and to never become deceived that it is unnecessary to keep your name and your wares before prospective buyers.—Charleston Messenger. The Negra will keep vigilance, equanimity and hope — and even through his blood is spilled to the few winds and he is burned at the stake in mockery or justice—the worm will turn. The conscience of American people will awaken—even as the American people will awaken—even as the leaves, leaves the unavowed whale—Indianapolis Record. All lines of business will be benefitted when people generally begin to save and invest the money they now throw away on utilities, foolish indulgences. For when a man learns to save, to accumulate, to make sensible investments, he soon comes to have more money to spend in all worth while lines of business.—Tampa Bulletin. "Man shall live by the sweet of his brow," is true, and the man who really knows how to, is the man that enjoys the sweetest existence. People work who get new real pleasure from their hobb, while others derive the greatest benefit, that of seeing their money go for the things, the sensible things that their heart desiren.—Western American A little touch of burnt cork, which is easy to remove, is what many, many white criminals rely upon to save themselves when committing a crime. Therefore, police officers, sheriffs and other law enforcement officials should Pope Sends Greeting. To Negro Catholics in 3-Day Convention Greetings from Pope Plus were read to delegates at the third annual con- vention of Federated Colored Catholics of the United States on Sunday, Sept. 4, at pontifical high mass, celebrated in St. Charles Borrumeo Church, 318 West 141st Street, New York City. The message read: "The Holy Father sends to the con- vention of the Federation of Colored Catholics his good wishes and paternal benediction." The Right Rev. John J. Dunn, Bishop Auxiliary of New York, was celebrant The sermon was by the Right Rev. Mgr. Thomas M. O'Keefe, pastor of St. Benedict the Moor Church. Thirty-nix Negro Catholic organizations are represented at the convention, which will last three days. Delegates are from the District of Columbia, Maryland, Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts, Virginia and Louisiana. Among Catholics of both races taking part are Father Ignatius Cox, B. J., representing the provisional residence of all Eastern Jesuitism; Father John La Farge, S. J., associate editor of America; Dr. Edward C. Kramer, director of the Catholic Board of Mission; the Rev. Walter Shanley of St Benedict the Moor Church, Dr. Thomas W. Turner, president of the Federation; Prof. Eugene A. Clark, assistant superintendent of Negro schools, Washington; Elmo M. Anderson, secretary of the Colored Catholic Board; Arthur A. Schomburg and Mra. M. V. Boutte. The afternoon session was in St Mark's Hall, 57 West 138th Street. Addresses were made by Myles A. Paige, Mrs. Eloise Bibb-Thompson, Fred R. Moore and Dr. E. P. Roberts. There are 250,000 Catholic Negroes in the country. The largest groups are in Maryland and Louisiana. National Bar Association To Fight Jim Crow Laws ST. LOUIS, Aug. 29 (By A. N. P.)—An investigation of the Jim-Crow car laws of the South and ways of means of seeing that they are removed is expected to result from a resolution passed by the National Bar Association in this city recently. In working out a program of action, about seventy delegates, mostly from middle western states, concluded that that objective should be the chief goal of the association during the coming year. The two-day session in the People's Finance Building was full of activity, centering around a program and a consolidation of the organization ideal, this convention being the third since the association came into being. Among those present and most active in the sessions was George H. Woodson, pioneer attorney of Des Moines and founder of the association. The Pan-American Union Established in 1890 The United States is a member of the Pan-American Union, which is an international organization created and maintained by the twenty-two republics of the American Continent. Its purpose is the development of closer cultural, commercial and financial relations of its member nations and to promote friendly intercourse, peace and closer understanding. It is supported by annual contributions from the American republics, based on population. Its affairs are administered by a director-general, a North American, and an assistant director-general, a Latin-American. These officials are elected by and re-These officials are elected by and responsible to a governing board composed of the Secretary of State of the United States and the diplomatic representatives in Washington of the other American governments. The Union was established in 1890 as a result of resolutions passed at the first Pan-American conference, held at Washington in 1899-1890 and presided over by James G. Blaine, at that time Secretary, State for the United States. The Lions' work was indorsed, continued and expanded by resolutions of succeeding Pan-American conferences held respectively at Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Chile; the sixth Pan-American conference will convene at Havana, Cuba, in 1928. The Union's activities are performed by various divisions. The work of more interest to the general public of the United States is that of publications, which number several hundred. The Union's official organ, "The Bulletin," is a monthly magazine for popular reading, published in three languages—English, Spanish and Portuguese—New York Sun. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 23.—It is reported that Mustapha Kernal Pasha, President of the Turkish Republic, is planning to include in the list of candidates for Deputy in the National Assembly one Jew, Armenian and Greek, which will give the minorities their first candidate since the formation of the republic. The list of candidates is being compiled for the September elections. The designation of minority candidate, it is believed, will tend to message the general minority agitation over the anti-Semitic wave rising in Turkey since the recent Jewish anti-Turkish demonstration. The latter was caused by the act of a Turkish Pasha murdering a Jewess on the streets of Constantinople. Abraham Lincoln and Slavery The Negro World pointed out editorially last week that while it is true that Abraham Lincoln had no special love for the Negro people, that what he did for them was done to better the condition of white people, who were also degraded by the slave system, and to save the union. It is also true that Lincoln was a consistent opponent of the slave system because he believed that it degraded both the slave and the owner and weakened the nation. The discussion is quite an old and interesting one and the older it gets the better Lincoln's position is understood and appreciated. It is generally conceded by historians that Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation because of the force of circumstances and not because of any Christian or humanitarian conviction that slavery was an abominable institution. In his "Footprints of the World History," Francis T. Furey, A. M., covers the subject in the following language: "Lincoln had long thought over the question of freedom, but was afraid lost he might alienate Kentucky and Missouri. Therefore it was that in March, 1862, he sent a message to Congress urging the Federal government to co-operate with the States in freeing the slaves for compensation. Having been criticized for this action, in August following he wrote that his paramount object was to save the union, and not either to save or destroy slavery. At last he made up his mind that the best way to save the union was to free the slaves." Peen Behind the Scenes The Kansas City Star gives us a peep behind the scenes. It says: "When President Lincoln and a group of his friends were on board the steamer River Queen at City Point, N. C., in 1865, a military band went on deck and played several national airs, after which they played that stirring anthem 'La Marseillaise.' The music was praised by the party. 'But,' remarked Lincoln, 'I think that the greatest tune I ever heard is 'Dixie.' Can the band play 'Dixie?' It could and did, and then repeated it at Lincoln's request. The next day, as the party sat at dinner on the steamer, the conversation turned on the music of the previous day. "Dixie" was claimed by one man at the table as of northern origin. "Mr. Speed," said Lincoln to his attorney-general. "I want you to take the proper steps to confiscate 'Dixie' to the United States. I want to have 'Dixie' national property." When Conscience Calls A man is happiest when his conscience is clear. The most distressing thing in a man's life comes when his conscience summons him to judgment. He can toy carelessly with almost anything but his conscience. From it dungeon of truth there is no escape. It holds us prisoners until we have squared accounts with ourselves and these we owe. Recently a large number of those who saw no virtue in Garvey and Garveyism were summoned to judgment by their conscience. After a fierce battle with descent and jealousy, with selfishness and hypocrisy they came out of quarers in the strife. But why did they ridicule the man and his program? Why did they fiercely oppose him at every turn of the road? Why did Garvey incite the envy of those European powers dependent upon Africa for the existence? You'll find the answer in the following remarkable editorial which appealed in the "Baltimore Evening Sun" some time ago: THE HATED TRUTH "From the Baltimore Evening Sun. "Men do not desire the truth. They never have desired the truth. It is not possible that they ever will desire the truth. "Because men live and die in error the truth is ever an assault on the beliefs and faiths of the time, and therefore an assault on yanky. "When the first of moderns began to study the heavens through a glass and to proclaim the truth he discovered he lighted a fire under his feet. The world did not desire truth. It desired only that its complacent ignorance be left undisturbed. Before a man can learn he must by inference confess that he is ignorant. It is vanity that stands in the way of progress. "The Indiana Supreme Court, upholding a conviction for contempt, asserts that 'the truth is no defense.' "It is a tenet dear to English law. The greater the truth, the greater the libel! To a man of reason the dogma will seem absurd, yet this same man will train his children to accept it and punish ther. If they do not. "Do the children point out his faults? Very well; that is impudence, and they shall be spanked. Perhaps the children express the truth and no more. No matter; the greater the truth, the greater the impudence. "There is the whole story. The powers that control the scheme of things do not desire and will not tolerate any truths that might detract from their assumed perfection. "The telling of unwelcome truths in time of war is called treason. Men are jailed and hanged for it. The telling of unwelcome truths in time of peace is called heresy, and men are ostracised and persecuted for it. The telling of unwelcome truths at any time or place brings down on the head of the truthful one the wrath of those in power, whether monarchs or majorities. "What is truth?" asked the Roman. It is a red figg waved before a sullen bull; a wasp to sting and enrage the sodden; an enemy of the existing order; an assault on the scheme by which the fat now draw tribute from the lean and ignorant." Little Wiles That Emasculate Nothing makes the Negro so useless to himself like the white man's deceit. Let one speak well of a Negro or pat him on the back and nine times out of ten he's ruined for life. Let a white man smile, converse, dance, drink, smoke, dine or socialise in any way with a Negro and invariably he lives white the balance of his days. The white man has thoroughly analyzed the psychological effect of those simple human courtesies upon the Negro and has commercialised it to the fullest extent. A smile, a drink, a cigar, any social compliment tendered to a Negro by a white man brings the latter more trade and respect and confidence than any of our outstanding leaders or our financial and industrial institutions. Mr. Black man, if you must glory in human courtesies and social compliments, take pride only in those bestowed upon you by your own flesh and blood. All else is but a tropical hurricane bent on the merciless destruction of lives and properties too weak to withstand the fury of its strength.

JOSEPE CINQUE A Couregecus and Gifted Sen of Africa See eee, eal ee Oe a nd friends of Negro freedom Oy WILLIAM ‘Ta the month of August, 1838, ther appeared in the newspapers @ shook ing story—that a schooner, going ‘cosstwise from Havane to Newvitas im the taland of Cubs. early in July with about twenty white passenger and a large number of slaves had been seized by the slaves in the night tim and the passengers and crew all mur- dered except two, who made thelt escape to land in open boate. Abou! the 20th of the came month, a strange ‘craft was seen repeatedly on our coast which was believed to be the cap- tured Spanish coaster tn the posses- slon of the Negroes. She was spoken by several pilot boats and other vee- sels and partially supplied with water of which she was very much in want. It was also sald that the blacks ap- ‘peared to have a great deal of moncy. ‘The custom heuse department and the officers of the navy were instantly roused to go in pursuit of the “pl- rates,” as the unknown porsessors of the schooner were _ spontaneously called, The United States steamer Fulton, and several revenue cutters wore despatched, and notice given to the collectors at the various seaports, Captured Off Leng Island On August 10, the “Mysterious schooner” was near the shore at Cal- loden Point, on the east end of Long Island, where a part of the crew came on shore for water and fresh pro- vistons, for which they paid with un- discriminating profusenexs, Here they were met by Captain Green and an- other gentleman, who stated that they had in their possession a large box filled with gold. Shortly after, on the 26th, the vessel was espled by Captain Gedney, U. & N., in command of the brig Washington, employed on the const -wurves, who derpatched an of- ficer to board her. ‘The officer found| a large number of Negrocs, and two| Spaniards, Pedro Montes and Jose Rutz, one of whom immediately an- nounced himself as the owner of the Negroes, and claimed his protection. The schooner was thereupon taken possension of by Captain Gedney. The leader of the blacks was pointed out by the Spaniards, and hie name given as Joseph Cinque. He was a native of Africa, and one of the finest specimens of his race ever seen in this corntrs. Aa noon as he saw that the vessel war in the hands of others, and all hope of hie taking himsel¢ and countrymen back to thelr home land at an end, he leaped overboard with the agility of an antelops. The small boat was framediately sent after him, and for two hours did the sailors strive to capture him before they succeeded. Cinque swam and dived like an otter, first upon his back, then upon his breast, eomstimes his heels out. His countrymen on board the captured schooner scemed much amused at the chene, for they knew Cinque well. and felt proud of the untamabtenesn of his nature. After baffling them for a time ne swam towards tho Vessel and wax iaken on board and eccured with the reat af the blacks and they were taken 0 New London, Connecticut. Ordered to Steer to Africa Tho schooner proved to bo the “Amistad.” Captain Ramon Ferrer, from Havana, bound to Principe, about ono hundred leagues distant, with ifty-four Negroes held as sizves, and wo paxsengern inntead of twenty. The Spaniards sald that, after being out four dayn, the Negroes roro in the! mht ‘and ded tho capein and’ a| mulatto cuok; that the helsman and| another satlor took to the boat and went on shore; that the only two white remaining were the passengers, Mon- ex and Rulz, who were confined be- jow until morning: that Montes, the slder, who had been captain, was re- nuired to atecr tke ship for Africa, hat Le steered castwurdly In the day me, because tho the Nesrocs could ell his course by the sun, but put the vessel abour in tho night.

Hew Cingue Teok Command One of the Spaniards teatified that, when the uprising took place, he was awakened by the noise, and that he heard the captain order the cabin boy 1o get some bread and throw to the Negroes, in hope to pacify them.

To thiy he sald, “Yes, ¥ would pray for ‘em. an’ Kill “em, too.” . ‘A Great Orater By the rogacity and daring of this} man, he and his companions, fifty-four, in number, were rescued from a life- jong bondage of the worst character that ever aMicted the human family. Cinque was a man of great intelligence and natural ability: he was a power- ful orator, and although speaking in a| rongue foreign to his audience, by the| grace and enersy of his motions and attitudes, the changeful expression of| nis features, and the intonations of his voice, made them uzderatand the main ncidenta of ble narrative, and swayed heir minds im an extraordinary man- ner.

The ones who would like us to celebrate August means for us, but these days is not likely to forget it. The ones full well that there is now worse than having been a sacrifice that is to have been a slave who is in the slave owner who has never been to be proud of his past and who rather like to forget it, and if these occasions troubles him when we are not annual celebrations, that is unwieldful, not curr. One can well understand the desire being expressed by the season of the year, that these annual celebrations should cease, and if it is good sign, but we have de- certified that these August celebrations will never cease and that August will be forgotten by us—never! This celebrations arranged by this committee to mark the August holiday of the same off with great acet, beginning from Sunday afternoon, July 31, and continuing to Wednesday evening, August 1. The ball was set rolling by a big mass meeting of a semi-reliance nature at the Ward Theatre on Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m. This meeting attracted a huge crowd and a varied program of songs, choruses, rockin', etc., and appropriate communication speeches comprised this, the preliminary event of the season. R. W. well conducted from start to finish by the acting president, Mr. Chish. D. Johnson, who delivered a magnificent speech which was punctuated with loud and long applause throughout. The regular Sunday night meeting at Liberty Hall also drew a record crowd, and another lengthy and interesting program was presented. Monday, August 1, was a full day and night well did the acting president and his officers carry out their duties. The order for the day was as follows: 8 a.m. service, 6 a.m. m.; convention, 9 a.m.; procedure, 3 p.m. and file, 8 p.m. Every one of these events was well attended, and not even the unusually early hour of 6 a.m. delivered members from attending divine service. The convention, at 9 a.m., brought out more members put and the discussions that were involved in on subjects borrowed from the convention program to be held in the New York Liberty Hall, produced some also speeches and some wise suggestions were recorded for the good and welfare of the Division for use later on. The attendance and interest at both these early meetings ended on an urgency of what to expect at the convention and evening events. The professional demonstration was of damn to be the star event of the day and so it proved to be. Long before the hour arranged for starting the excursion on the route detailed by the acting president, the crowds began gathering, and soon Liberty Hall and its precincts were a soothing mass of black humanity. Colin Gibson, who was in full charge, had his work cut out getting the procession in order for marching, but with the able assistance of Captain Shirley of the New York Division, every detail was perfected, and to the music of our own life and drum band a start was made and in the following order: Leader of procession: Mr. Dougall; Fife and Drum Band, Grii Guides, Boy Scouts, Nurses, Legions, the Choir, brass band, presidential car, executive officers, members of visiting divisions, members of Kingston Division, vehicles. The whole length of the procession, which was fully one mile long, was interpelled with banners bearing motions appropriate to the day and business of the organization. The banner that attracted most notice and attention was one of the Tiger, beautifully painted on red, black and green grounds by our bedding artist, Mr. Harold Jones. scoot master and son of the lady president, Mrs. Gertrude Jones. It is a work of art and correctly conveys the notion that it represents our noble president general, who was once dubbed "The Tiger" and whom we make out by a legend on the banner is "Carged, but Not Cowed." It was the centre of attraction and farovably commented on by everybody as a most fitting idea for displaying on this occasion. The route of the procession was one triumphant march for the division, as the whole line was crowded with sympathisers, and after traversing the city in a westerly, northerly and easterly direction an enormous crowd finished up at the steps of the Ward Theatre, where pictures were taken that will be duly sent to be reproduced in The Negro World. Eloquent speeches were delivered by the commissioner, the acting president, Mr. Clifford Brilton, first vice-president, and Mr. H. B. Green. The concensus of opinion was that this demonstration was by far the best we have ever staged and the division got the biggest boost it has ever been given, and all credit is due to the acting president, officers and auxiliaries, who worked as never before to make it the success it was. After taking up a very liberal collection and cheers were given for the president general and chief officers of the division, the procession formed in order and marched back to Liberty Hall, where more pictures were taken and permanations at once begun for the fair, which was a fitting successful close to the day's proceedings. Tuesday, August 2, was devoted to a picnic de luxe out in the country, where a profitable and Lappy day was spent by the members and their Friends. The August fair was continued at Liberty Hall on Tuesday night, where dancing and other games were indulged in till the wee small hours of the morning. On Wednesday evening, convention was resumed with long and enjoyable debates on many topics. This closed the work of the division for this season, which must result in great good for the organization. ARNOLD J. LECESNE, Reporter.

Acting Chaplain Brown conducted the service. The choik rendered a beautiful program. The chaplain gave a very encouraging address, taking for his subject, "Unless the Lord Builds the House, the Labor Is Lost." He concluded by asking the members to uphold the hands of Marcus Garvey, whether in or out of prison, that we may put the program over. At 8:30, mass meeting was conducted by the Rev. J. M. Anglin. The Black Cross Nurses turned out in full force. After the processional hymn, Rev. Anglin offered up a prayer for the president general, after which the choir gave a selection.

Returning to the hall, the acti$^2$ president opened the convention to delegates and friends. He then called on Mr. C. H. Mortley, who explained the aim and objects of the association, and asked "What think ye of the U. N. L. A? and Marcus Garvey, its founder." He pointed out that the organization was not intended to overthrow governments or undermine civilization, but solely for the uplift of the Negro races in general. Next Mr. Allen spoke of the importance of the day. The remainder of the week was taken up by different speakers and making suggestions for the betterment of the division. Sunday.

On Wednesday evening, August 17, the night clouds had just begun to lower on the island of Cape Breton when the news reached citizens of Sydney of the death of Mr. James Hoyte, ex-president of the Sydney Division of the U. N. L. A. He had left his home during the early hours of the day along the beautiful scenes of the island for a drive. He was accompanied by his wife, Mrs. James Hoyte, Rev. C. S. England, Mrs. England and their two children. When about 12 miles from St. Peters they encountered one of the most terrible accidents that ever occurred on the highways of Cape Breton. His can skidded and overturned, throwing its occupants to the ground. Mr. Hoyte suffered a fractured skull and had to be rushed back to St. Peters for medical treatment, but death came before St. Peters could be reached. The other occupants were badly shaken up. Rev. Mr. England received several bruises about the head and body and right knee. He was taken to Sydney City Hospital, where he is resting comfortably with medical aid. At midnight the remains of the ex-president were brought to Sydney, where at his home, 95 Laurier Street, members of the U. N. L. A., both of the present and past cabinet, received the body of their chlaitain, who had rallied to the cause of Africa ever since the U. N. L. A. came upon the scene. The feelings of the community, white and black, cannot be fully related here, but it will be a long time before the incident will be forgotten. The funeral took place on Sunday, August 11, at 1 p. m. The corpse was taken from the ex-president's residence to the U. N. I. A. hall, where services were conducted by Mr. Samuel Knight, chaplain of the division, before a large gathering of mourners. From the choe to St. Cyprus Church (Anglican), of which deceased was a member and officer. Here the service was conducted by Rev. A. F. Arnold, with Master Reginald McLean and the organ. Interment was made at Hardwood Hill cemetery. The procession was one of the largest witnessed in Sydney for years. Several prominent citizens paid their last respects. The procession was about one mile in length and was headed by the U. N. L. A. band, playing "The Dead March," followed by the Black Cross Nurses, West Indian band and Ancient Order of Foresters, of which deceased was a member. At the graveside services were conducted by Rev. A. F. Arnold, where hundreds gathered to see Mr. Hoyte's last resting place.

A. on Sunday, August 1, with much interest. A very enjoyable sacred program was rendered in the U. N. L. A. hall at 5 p. m. The specially large gathering forced the officers to procure seats from the neighboring homes. It was a grand day. The crowded hall reminded us of the many splendid public gatherings that have gathered to the call of the. Red, Black and Green in the not distant past. The old spirit is being revived from day to day and the good work that has been started will never be allowed to fall to the ground. The Universal Negro Improvement Association means too much to Negroes to allow it to crumble and collapse. The wonderful pathway blazed by its founder will never be destroyed. We will march in that pathway, for in it are the footprints of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The program that was rendered was one of deep interest. The splendid choir of the New Waterford Division gave many beautiful anthems. As usual, the band of the Sydney Division added many special selections and our local choir, like the Old Guards at Waterloo, brought up the rear under the leadership of Mr. Samuel Harrison. The New Waterford's Choir was led by Mr. Nichola. The younger group recited and sang. It was a pleasure to hear the children recit.

Spanish Section 142 West 138th St. Cinidad de Nueva York, N. Y. PROF. M. A. PIQUEROA, Editor gram triunfo de Marcus Garvey y de la causa que patrocina. Los criticos y enemigos de ayer se unen a los millones leales para proclamar la rectitud de nuestro leader. Reconocimiento universal de la importancia de su programa. do lo malo, lo orgiástico y la ingratitud que se comera para llevar a una prisión, al hombre que con visión fética fundará una doctrina y diera impulso al moviato redentivo de su raza; y hoy alaban y reconocen los pos y lo sabio del gran hombre, quien segun estosiores e instituciones, ha estado siempre en lo cierto en ar lo que ha hecho en defensa de su propio pueblo. Es pues una tardia manifestación pero es una completaración el admitir que la única salvación para la raza a, descansa en la doctrina edificante y en los planos trazados por el Hon. Marcus Garvey. El hecho del to es que su encarcelamiento ha beneficiado a la raza a, al extremo que hubiese sido muy dificultoso, sino able, el aproximar y atraerla. Las traiciones de los y la vanidad de los pavos reales que contribuyeron a cirlo al Tabor, han servido de material para una sumbrejón espiritual de la raza, que ve en el gran leader una victima del celo, de la envidia y del odio de serviles puestos a las ordenes de los amos de siempre. Marcus Garvey libre y al frente del timón de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, desparramando su mensaje a los cuatro puntos del globo, haciendo conversos a cada minuto, era objeto para la envidia de todos y cada uno de los negros que fingen de leaders de las masas. Solamente una breve estancia en los Estados Unidos comparativamente joven, y fue considerado como un intruso, un favorito de las tres brujas, por aquellos negros que trataron siempre ocupar el sitial tan alto que el ocupa en la mente y en el corazon de sus hermanos en raza. Los mal preparados de los leaders dicen que el no pasa de ser un charlatan. Mas sus opiniones se dan de cachetes, cuando ven con desmayo que su obra y sus prácticas estan muy lejos de ser operaciones parasitarias. Marcus Garvey avivó el alma del hombre negro, le mostró lo que una dirección propia implica; y por eso lbs yantagistas y traficantes han pretendido empañar su reputación. La civilización blanca necesita muy poco para que su actitud prejudicial sea prontouesta en operación. Y Marcus Garvey fue detenido, condenado y enviado a confundirse con criminales en una prisión del sur. Y entonces. . . Las cosas sin sentido que los mal intencionados sofaron no se materializaron. Marcus Garvey se ha impuesto a todo esto. Sus prosélitos siguen firmes. Su nombre y su fama se han extendido y aumentado con rapidez asombrosa. Su influencia y su fuerza aumentada nadie ha podido capitalizar; mas bien ha permanecido incolume con el incidente Je Marcus Garvey, es decir, con su prisión. Para algunos vino el remordimiento; para otros un sentimiento de desesperanza; para aquellos que permanecen aun descarríados mayor incertidumbre. Para estos principalmente anhelamos mayor luz; verdadera compresión. Vivimos en una era en que es superfluo el decir que Marcus Garvey no cometió errores. Sus enemigos mas encarnizados de ayer sal lo aftrman; sus críticos hoy día lo aceptan; y sus admiradores sacian su sed de reconocimiento en lo incontrevertible de la prueba. Africa para los africanos dentro y fuera de aquel gran continente; un gobierno en el de negros, por negros y para negros. Tal es la doctrina del garveismo. Ese es el crudo de millones de seres descendientes de la augusta Britania. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, Cerca de trescientas personas han muerto y más de dos mil quinientos resultaron heridas en los últimos diez y ocho meses, a consecuencia de las luchas religiosas entre los hinduies y los musulmanes en varias partes de la India. El virrey afirnado esto en un discuro pronunciado ante la asamblea legislativa. Calcuta fué uno de los centros de la tormenta el año pasado y lord Irwin dijo que desde abril a julio tal parecia que la ciudad estaba dominada por un espíritu maligno hasta el punto de que la ley tuvo que apelas a medidas drásticas. Las mismas influencias siniestras estuvieron trabajando en varios otros lugares, dijo él. El virrey dijo que había mucho en la vida social de la India que corregir y reformar; pero que el trabajo seria casi imposible mientras existiera esta animosidad interna. India desea un gobierno propio, continuó el virrey, e Inglaterra es la que debe guiarla a este fin y tanto Bretagna como la India están confrontadas con la necesidad de afrontar el espectro que obstruye la senda de sus esperanzas comunes. Dijo que habia perdido la esperanza de llegar a un acuerdo entre las distintas comunidades, aunque con gusto hablo de ciertos hechos que indican un nuevo esfuerzo para hacer llegar a un acuerdo a los dos bandos religiosos y terminó diciendo que con gusto se asociaria a cualquier tentativa que se haga para solucionar el conflicto. El antiguo y grave conflicto entre las dos religiones principales, la hindu y la musulmana, dio por resultado numerosos y sanguinarios encuentros entre las dos clases, algunos de ellos ocurriendo en Calcuta con especial mención del de abril del año pasado que tuvieron que ser llamadas las tropas para restablecer el orden. En el mes de abril las calles de Calcuta fueron teatro de sangrientes escenas entre unos y otros, muriendo unos cincuenta y resultando heridos más de quinientos hasta que las tropas salieron a guardar el orden y las ametralladoras mantuvieron separados a los dos grupos. En el mismo mes estalló otra especie de movimiento revolucionario que duró una semana marcando otra lista de muertos y heridos que se registró con cuarenta de los primeros y cuatrociemtos de los heridos. Otras luchas menos encarnizadas se reportaron en Simla, capital de verano de la India, Kharagpur, Rawalpindi y Delhi. Desde entonces han ocurrido varios otros encuentros intermitentes en varias secciones del país. El futuro de las naciones En un articulo en el Evening Standard de Londres el decano Inge dice que las naciones en una posición aislada, con poblaciones poco densas y grandes recursos naturales, deben necesariamente dejar atrás a los paises con exceso de población en Europa que han sido hostiles a sus vecinos, contra los cuales deben armarse. Cree que la Argentina, así como otras republicas hispanoamericanas, ven dran a ser sumamente poderosas con la población italiana excediendo a la española y portuguesa y que todas las naciones hispanoamericanas formarán una federación para impedir la agresión de Norte América. Cree que la parálisis actual de Rusia no durará por más de una generación y urge que no es desableable mantener a Alemania permanentemente desarmada, pues que debe formar una barrera contra Rusia, que realmente no es europea. Ique no cree que la India ni China constituirán un peligro militar para otros países, pero dice que cree que el peligro se presenta unicamente en el campo económico y es unicamente evitando el uso de la fuerza que los países principales pueden impedir veres corrientes en la competencia del trabajo humano. Dijo también que no es claro que los rasas americana y las obscureas aumenten más rápidamente que la blanca, jergando que los Estados Unidos tendrían dentro de setenta años unos doscientos cincuenta millones de habitantes. Cree imposible la formación de los Estados Unidos de Europa a causa de los prejuicios acrim�ados. Una situación seria se ha presentado entre las autoridades judiciales del canal y el juez de distrito Martin, quien insiste en que los violadores de la ley de la prohibición deben ser perseguidos en nombre del gobierno de la Zona del Canal, sosteniendo el procurador de distrito F. E. Mitchell que la infracción viola las icyes federales de los Estados Unidos y que, por consiguiente, el asunto debia substanciarse en nombre de los Estados Unidos. El caso por el cual se origina la controversia comenzó a ventilarse a principios de la semana pasada; pero fue pospuesto para el 27 de los corrientes, a causa de que la información se consignó en nombre del gobierno de los Estados Unidos. El procurado Mitchell declaró que no presentaría el caso sino exclusivamente en nombre del gobierno de los Estados Unidos, por lo que el caso se aplazó por otra semana. Al anunciar el aplazamiento, el juez declaró que el caso quedaba aplazado por una semana para que el procurador del distrito ó su adjunto, debidamente torizado, presentara la información en nombre del gobierno de la Zona del Canal. Esto, opinan muchos, indica que existe una abierta ruptura entre el juez y el representante del ministerio público, causando probablemente una investigación de parte de las autoridades judiciales de los Estados Unidos. El gobernador Walker viene a este país a bordo del vapor Pastores para tener una conferencia con las autoridades sobre el canal y se cree que probablemente discutirá el problema judicial. El senador norteamericano Royal S. Copeland estuvo de visita unas horas en la Zona del Canal de Panamá, mientras el buque iba de transito hacia Balboa y San Francisco. Discutiendo sobre los asuntos del canal el senador, después de emitter opinión favorable acerca del canal de Panamá, opinó también que la construcción del nuevo canal por Nicaragua no era era necesaria al presente. Otro caso de azote Un hombre de apellido Harris entró tambaleándose en la estación de policía de Kent, Ohio, e informó que había sido azotado con cuerdas anudadas por ocho enmascarados, que, después de la medianoche de ayer, entraron en el taller, lo secuestraron y lo llevaron a un solitario paraje. Harris fue conducido al hospital de la ciudad, en donde se dijo que estaba sufriendo de fuertes contusiones en todo el cuerpo. Hace dos años, Harris encabezó una protesta contra los métodos seguidos por las autoridades de Kent en la investigación de un crimen. Desde entonces, dijo que había tenido frecuentes encuentros con la policía y que hace dos meses había sido arrestado por no hacer nada. En aquel entonces dijo que estaba al frunte de un establecimiento de muebles. Después de su arresto, hizo circular una petición al gobernador. A. V. Donahey, pidiendo que se investigara el caso. Una esecma dramática tuvo lugar en el hospital cuando el jefe de policía entró en la habitación donde se hallaba Harris hablando con un detective particular y emheriff. Levantándose en su cama, Harris empenó una acalorado acusación contra el jefe y su administración del departamento de policía. He contratado mis propios detectives para descubrir a seso verloga, dijo Harris. El assinato de Apple, de Clayton, que Harris dice Tanhera enredado de tal manera que nunca se pudo averiguar nada en su investigación, escurrió have varios años. Apple era un vigilante nocturno de la policía de Kent. Pud asinado a tres veces en el cumplimiento de su deber y sus asesiones nunca fueron habidos. Las autoridades del condado de Sunmit se unieron a las autoridades del condado de Portaga en la investigación del successo. Dissertation to a French Journalized By EMIL LENGVEL These are the memoirs of a man who with a handful of irregular troops defied for five years two important colonizing powers of Europe: France and Spain. Abd-el Krim el-Khatabe has undoubtedly achieved the most important colonial feat in contemporary history. The valor of his troops and his own strategic genius were the talk of the world for years, and he made history not only on the Riff coast of Morocco but in Europe as well. The Anoual disaster in 1921, when the Morocco army of Spain was wiped out, was directly responsible for the internal political troubles of the Spanish people. Several Governments had to resign and the military juntas were forced to give up their activities. The revelations resulting from the investigation of the Battle of Anoual made it incumbent upon the Government of the Marques de Alhucomas to adopt a more liberal attitude and this led to the strengthening of the liberal and radical parties which, in its turn, was the excuse for the dictatorship of Don Miguel Primo de Rivera. The immediate cause of de Rivera's dictatorship was the unfortunate turn events had taken in Morocco and the concomitant loss of prestige of the Spanish Army. After having defeated the Spanish forces the Rifian chieftain, intoxicated with victory, went into offensive against the French Moroccan protectorate. He succeeded in making the situation extremely critical for the French, too, aggrandizing the internal political situation of France and adding new elements of uneasiness to the chaotic financial conditions. General Lyautey, the man who had pacified Morocco and who enjoyed the confidence of the majority of the native tribes, was recalled, and General Petain of World War fame was sent to Africa with a force of about 200,000 men. From an insignificant colonial skirmish Abd-e Krim transformed the Riff campaign into a war of prime importance. The memoirs were mostly dictated by Abd-el Krim to a French journalist, J. Roger-Mathieu, war correspondent of the Matin of Paris, while he was being transported by the French from Morocco to Frioul, there to be transferred to a ship bound for Reunion Island, his future residence. Some parts of the memoirs—the most important chapters—were written by Abd-el Krim himself and given to M. Roger-Mathieu to be incorporated in the book. When the great Riff campaign began in 1921 Abd-el Krim's tribesmen were an ill-assorted rabble, armed with very primitive weapons and lacking discipline. After their first victories, which resulted in enormous losses for the Spanish, they were enabled to seize large supplies of arms, including machine guns and cannon. Krim's great ambition was to have an airplane as well which, he thought, would impress his countrymen who had a sacred horror of the Spanish filers. Unfortunately for him, the machine he bought crashed to pieces on the first occasion. We learn from Krim's words that his "army" consisted mostly of tribesmen who would fight only for two and three weeks in a stretch and then would go back to their tents. The irregulars were so ignorant of the tactics and "ethics" of warfare that he never let them engage in a battle without the aid of a small number of regulars who showed them not only a better technique of fighting but also some appreciation of the value of the life of prisoners of war. The irregulars liked to massacre their prisoners, a practice which led to deplorable reprisals. As victory followed upon victory the conduct of war became easier for Krim's forces. They made the Spanish pay ransom for the prisoners, imposed levies upon the inhabitants of the captured territories, and even received offers of financial aid from sympathetic foreigners. Soon Krim's headquarters were the place of rendezvous of foreign adventurers, who, batting on the victory of his arms, made ready to obtain a large portion of the spoils. The Riff has copper mines and iron ore, a circumstance which the foreign adventurers did not overlook. When Abd-el-Krime became the Emir of the Rift he was at the zenith of his career. A sacred war, a djihad, was declared against the Europeans, and the formerly neutral tribes were precipitately joining his forces. When he was most successful in clearing the Spanish out of the Rift he made, in his administration, a tragic mistake. In spite of the fact that the Spanish troops could not have offered serious resistance he did not lay siege and did not attack Melilla, which he could easily have taken.

This misgiven is all the less comprehensible because it was followed by his attack on the French protectorate which led to the co-operation of the French and Spanish forces and to the downfall of the Rif emirate. Krim enumerates several reasons which determined his attitude toward the French. While the Riff drive on the Spanish was in full force, his brother had gone to Paris in order to arrive at some settlement with the French government, but he had not been received by any statesman of importance. Krim himself had sent several messages to the French government and to the resident general in Morocco, General Lyautey,' offering them friendship, without, however, receiving any reply. This slight made a very unfavorable impression on the Krims, impulsive by nature and spoiled by victory. The tribes, stunned by the unexpected rapidity with which the Spanish army received one defeat after the other, began to adore Krim as an invincible religious leader, and implored him to use his superhuman power to make the entire Rif territory independent. As the last and most important reason Krim maintains that it was the French who furnished the cases bell by invading his territory. The French refrained, at the beginning, from drastic action in the Riff, mainly out of political considerations. The "cartel des gauches" was then in power and the government, fearing the radical reaction, was anxious to avoid irritating Parliament. Moreover, the French had always, and almost traditionally, opposed the Spanish occupation in Morocco and had therefore followed Krim's victories with considerable satisfaction. The French-Spanish alliance in the Riff was consummated only when Krim's victories monached the interests of France. When Paris and Madrid realised that Abd-el Krim was too strong for either of them, M. Malvy was charged with arranging the details of a joint action in Morocco. The Spanish landed some of their snack troops in the Bay of Alhuceman, and, with the arrival of Petain and his soldiers, the French, too, went into the war with the utmost seriousness. Krim could have, perhaps, carried on guerrilla warfare for some time if he had not so long ago had chanted the ecology of the "favorite of the prophet."

With an important figure in the establishment of African Union membership devoted to the French, the French document made a formal statement and predicts him for allotted positions in the French refused to qualify for his request and called him in the establishment of 1990 to European Union, among the most recent of Africa. Abd-el-Krism has contributed to history one of the most curious memorials packed with indignations and multifaceted statements. He mentions natural Spainards, the helpless of official positions, who tried to induce him to attack the French. He names several Englishmen and Americans, who, allegedly, were inciting him to keep on fighting the two protecting powers of Morocco. He states that some of his guns and a large part of his ammunition were sent from Gharibar, and when his star was declining two British boats stationed at Jal伞ch and Ilaret Fildarn, offered their ammunition to run the blockade of the two associated powers and to take him to safety in some British aviation业. Throughout the book Abd-al Krisn is engaged in proving that, in his intentions, he has always been the best friend of France and without prevention would never have attained her armies. It is amusing how often he confirms his statements with solomon oath, especially when his interlocutor shows himself skeptical. Occasionally he denies well-known facts, such as his association with a German spy, even in the face of irrefutable evidence. Yet, he mostly wants to be frank, and it is on account of extraneous reasons that he does not always succeed. His lavish praise of the French, his reputation, does not make him appear a very courageous man. Naturally, when he praising his personal qualities and particularly his valor, one must take into consideration that his field of action was in the Atlas Mountains and that he is unaccustomed to search himself for motives and give a psychological explanation of his deeds. Nor must it be forgotten that he was on a French ship bound for a distant island and that, apprehensive of his own future and that of his dependents, he waited naturally to avoid references to unpleasant dealings with the enemies of France. Abd-al Krim is passionate about the future of the RM which, he thinks, will suffer much from internal convulsions under Spanish administration. He praises France as the friend of Islam and of the Mohammedans, insisting that, if he were free, a factory arrangement could be renamed between the natives and the French Republic.

We as a race of people have been taught too much about the world beyond the grave by our so-called race leaders, and not enough of this univocse and the gardens therein. The truth that impedes the progress of this great race is due to the teachings of our penny-footing, foxy leaders who never tell us about Our Motherland and the richness of it. But daily the truth is coming out. I am begging every Negro to rally to the cause of Africa's redemption under the ampleuses of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Negroes Think once, think twice, and figure your position a few years hence if you allow this great movement to decline. Support it with your whole heart, soul and strength and it won't be long before you will reap the fruit of your inner. Negroes, don't be fooled any longer. What's the use of building churches, lodges, insurance companies, etc., and no government to knock them. Why, that's all vain glory, make of this yoke of oppression and forget your past false teachings of religion and get the true religion. If we as a race want to be free from exploitation by white or black usurpers, we have to stop these teachings and laugh at the clever fellows and tell them in plain words, "The tide has turned; you can no longer lead me to welldom. I am radical. I have made a complete change, no get out and get under." be fooled to be our trouble. Such a valuable tenet should be more practiced and not only be used in a parochial sense.

He does not leave his own to be looked after by another, but seeks the best in him and uses it for mutual good. We have not his age, but a leaf of his book will put us on the high road.

But the U, N, I, A, and A.C.L, as conceived by our Hon. Marcus Garvey, and preached by him for the past decade, in my modest estimation, equals Christianity in the matters of clarity and concreteness of issues. The abstract is so sound, the concrete is so strong, that something to beat it is yet to come on this earth. Facially humanitarian, nationally, it is all-embracing in its scope. The mind that conceived this society is of the highest social grade; the weaving of a universal fabric where he and his can eat in entropy and in peace with the world. Catholicism, too, has a lesson for us. Tongues and colors all blend in one under the Papal edicta. Robbins leave, doing little or no damage to a Preparedness is anonymous with cohesion. Intelligent mutual understanding is indispensable to cohesion. Good intelligence of our local leaders is necessary for our putting over the program. Social culture and politeness is the backbone of the movement. We have the ability to "put it over" so we will have no excuse for failure. Let our locals be the rallying grounds for bright, honest people. Know the principles, teach them and stick to it yourself. With cohesion we will soon engrave a name in the Hall of Fame.

Negroes Are Too Easily Blinded To the Editor of The Negro World: Please allow me to say a few words in this wonderful paper of ours. The trouble with this race of ours is that the Negro believes everything other races say except his own. Mr. Haynes has been attacked by one Mr. Schuyler. Mr. Schuyler stated what Mr. Dyer and Mary Ovington and others are doing for us. If they have done so much for us, why does lynching still exist? And why are we the first to be thrown out of work and the last to be employed? It is time that the Negro wakes up. Give one Negro a job in a white man's office, even if it is to shine his shoes, he feels that the race problem is solved; not seeing the means of his people who are suffering. The so-called big Negroes will sell you out for a cigar that is bigger than his mouth to see the smoke as it goes up. I say to Mr. Haynes, keep on writing Garvey first, Garvey last, and Garvey at all times. MRS. JOSEPHINE DUNKRETT. Detroit, Mich. Some African (Yoruba) proverbs: "Boasting is not courage.

ROSE As one of the weaker peoples of this earth, we should keep ourselves in line with the signs of the times, and learn much from current events. Today the name of Charles A. Lindbergh is revered wherever courage and daring are appreciated. And what do we see? Several other ambitious young men are trying to cellophse his feat—are endeavoring to shatter the record he has established in the flying world. That is but a fair example of the ambition of the white race. Each member is ever striving to do some deed wherein his name will be a byword for all times. This, therefore, should be a stimulant for Negroes of the world. Reinhard, O my fellowmen, that this great urge for wonderful attainments in the breasts of the other nations is the power that has placed them in the limelight of the world's activities, and its constant manifestation is making their positions somewhat secure. I will not for a moment say that the Negro has not got ambition. Yes, my friends, he has, but his ambition is of the wrong kind. He seems only ambitions to be the best servant of the other man. To perform some tank assigned him to the best of his ability, and to receive the commendation of "well done" by his boss. But, knowing better, we should not yield to such a condition any longer; we must not consider the white man's approbation for a tank performed our highest achievement. We must observe the efforts he is making to better himself, his community, his race. One of the greatest drawbacks of our people is the flippant way in which we go through life. We are not serious enough regarding our destiny. We do not take into consideration the fact that times and conditions will change. Until we can see that our doom is in the active preparations by other nations' air, naval and military forces, we will think our positions safe from danger. Until we can glean that our own inactivity is but the nail in the coffin that encloses us, in preparation for total extinction, we ever will be satisfied to "be supinely on our back."

To best show that we are thankful that this great man opened our eyes to the dire catastrophes that lie in wait, and who is trying to pilot us over three racial turbulences, let us assert the true ambition for racial power that lies in us. Let us be no less than the other men who have left their names as indelible memories on the slab of accomplishments. Too long have we accumbent to the obvious illusions that the land of our fathers is the most uncivilised spot in creation, and thus we should not waste our time in striving to obtain it. Propaganda of this kind has brightened our sense of appreciation for a country which is rightly ours. But, my fellowmen, how long will you be deceived? How long will you be a victim of mental insertion? When will you begin to think for yourself? While we are sleeping, the enter- prising nations are fostering industries of all kinds in the country which is ours by right. And we are no sally as to say that we have no use for that blessed land—Afries. I am sure that we are possessed of the grand and glorious qualities which make a people great, and it is time that we assert them.
