The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XXIII. No. 14 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1927 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES Racial Self-Interest Necessary To Progress The world is not in the disposition to divide the spoils of materialism, but on the contrary every group is seeking the aggrandizement of self at the expense of those who have lost or who ignore the trend of human effort in the direction of self-preservation. The Negro, surrounded as he is, has no other alternative than going forward in the atmosphere of racial self-interest, working for the generation of the present and providing for those of our posterity. In the service of race the Universal Negro Improvement Association finds its program, and for its advocacy or promotion we offer no apology. It is foolish for us to believe that the world can settle itself on chance. It is for God and man to settle the world. God acts indifferently and His plan and purpose is generally worked out through the agency of human action. In His directed, inspired prophecy He promised that Ethiopia's day would come, not by the world changing towards us, but by our stretching out our hands unto Him. It doesn't mean the mere physical test, but the universal and independent effort to surround ourselves with the full glory of man. No human apologies are needed for the moving or going forward of any people, so none will expect that we will apologize for the efforts we are making to unite our race the world over, and the creating for ourselves of a political superstate wherein we will find the representation and protection that will make us secure in the selfish adjustment of a material world. Go ahead, Negroes, and organize yourselves! You are serving your race and guaranteeing to posterity of our own an existence which otherwise will be denied them. Ignore the traps of persuasion, advice and alien leadership. No one can be as true to you as you can be to yourself. To suggest that there is no need for Negro racial organization in a well-planned and arranged civilization like that of the twentieth century is but to, by the game of deception, lay the trap for the destruction of a people whose knowledge of life is incomplete, owing to the misunderstanding of man's purpose in creation. With the vision of a new life the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall direct the course of the four hundred million members of our race, enemies from within and from without notwithstanding. The campaign of abuse against your leaders and their imprisonment is but a part of the plan to harass and discourage you on the way toward destiny. But no sober-minded Negro will allow himself to be fooled by the design of the wicked. The wicked we have always had, and will ever have. The wicked and unjust have opposed reforms in every age and under all circumstances. Personally, I am glad to suffer for the cause. My contribution to the race and to Africa is small, but it is gladly given without any regrets. Some of us will contribute through our ability and our lives, others through service of other kind; but whatever it be, let us give it freely. Do not falter or faint by the wayside, but let us, with confidence in ourselves and our God go forth in the call for service to our race and to Ethiopia.—From "Philosophy and Opinions of, Marcus Garvey," or "Africa for the Africans," vol. II. Big Three Astonished Abyssinia's Concession To U. S. Firm To Develop Country Water Power of Lake Tsama to Be Developed at Cost of $20,000,000 and Sold by J. G. White Engineering Co.—Americans Invited to Open Up Country ENGLAND TALKS OF TREATY VIOLATION European Struggle for Domination of Last Independent Country Regarded as Ended—U. S. Will Be Supreme in Abyssinia as in Liberia—But Prince Regent Has His Hopes The struggle for domination over Abyssinia, virtually the last independent country in Africa, assumed a new phase yesterday with the announcement of the J. G. White Engineering Corporation of New York that it would develop the water power of Lake Tana at a cost of $20,000,000 under an agreement reached with Dr. Warguch C. Martin, agent of the Abyssinian government. England, France and Italy for twenty-five years have been trying to extend a controlling hand over the affairs of Abyssinia. Only a year ago a secret treaty between England and Italy was revealed whereby Great Britain was to have the right to interfere with the Sudan from Lake Tana, and Italy was to have a railroad through Abyssinia, connecting her two barron possessions of Eritrea and Italian there that the United States is the only disinterested nation which can supply capital for the development of the country and at the same time train from meddling with its internal affairs and attempting to carve out for itself a definite sphere of influence in which the nations of other countries would be restricted. At present there is an American Treaty Apparently Blocked By this agreement with the J. G. White company, Abyssinia apparently has balked effectively the consummation of this treaty, which she objected to vehemently when its terms were made known. Abyssinia protested to the League of Nations, but before the protest could be heard there the British and Italian governments disclaimed any intention of dividing the country into spheres of influence, as sections of the document indicated was there purpose. The Tsanna concession was effected with Dr. Marta through Alfred L Jutner, of 110 William street, permanent agent of the government here. Under its terms the American company will dam the mouth of the lake, which is the source of the Blue Nile, and will sell the impounded waters to the British government or develop them for water power as it sees fit. The Abyssinian government is to receive a royalty on all water used and after a period of years the dam is to revert to the government. With the money received from this occasion the Prince Regent of Abyssinia hopes to develop the resources of his country, which are admittedly rich, and cast off the foreign domination which has been encroaching on the country for years. London Is Astonished That the White concession will have diplomatic reevaluations is believed probable. From London came word yesterday that British official circles were astonished at the signing of the agreement. It was said there that Abyssinia was violating a treaty with Great Britain is giving the Lake Tsann rights to an American enterprise. Since 1914 the United States has had no diplomatic representatives at Adils Ababa, the capital of Abyssinia, but on September 19, the State Department announced it would establish relations at once with the African nation and that a Charge d'Affairs would be sent there. This announcement came after a visit of Dr. Martin to President Coolidge, when he pleaded for the re-establishment of diplomatic relations. These relations never were broken for any political reason, but were dopped during the stress of the World War. Shortly after Dr Martin left Washington, following a long conference with Secretary of State Kellogg, to whom he advanced the desirability of appointing an American envoy, President Coolidge named Addison R. Southard as Minister Resident and Consul General to Abyssinia. More than a year ago Ralph J. Totten of the State Department, made an extended survey of the country. There has been much agitation in Abyssinia for the return of the American Legation because it is believed BAYER ASPIRIN PROVED SAFE Take without Fear as Told in "Bayer" Package BAYER BAYER has not affect the Heart you are the "Bayer Cross" on or an inhibitor you are not get- taught Bayer Aspirin proved widely and prescribed by over twenty-five years for Handache Lumbago Bromation Palm, Pain Bayer package one- daily. Daily hours of and over five hours. Bayer widens of 51 and 100. At present there is an American Consul at Aden, who does his best for Americans now operating in Abyssin, but he is so far away that for all practical purposes American diplomatic and trade affairs have been in the hands of the British Minister at Addis Ababa. The French and Italian attitude toward the White concession is unknown. Italy has been gaining some influence in the eastern section of the country, her sphere of influence, by economic penetration ever since the Abyssinina rose and drove out her troops twenty years ago by some superb fighting. France at present controls the only railroad in the country, which runs from the capital to the sea, thus giving Abyssinia her only outlet to the coast. The development of Lake Tsana will start at once, the White Company announces, and soon American automobile trucks will be rumbling over the roads from Addis Ababa to the mouth of the lake where the gigantic dam will be built. Britain had dreamed of doing this for years, but Abyssinia stood her off, fearing that she would be swallowed up. Prince Annals for Americans The Prince Regent hopes to develop his country along American lines with the money the nation obtains from this concession, and he already has sent out appeals for American doctors, engineers and business men to come to the country and help in its pioneering work. Through the centuries, it has remained a wild, pastoral country, untouched by the industrial revolution. With American capital the Prince Regent hopes to wake it from its sleep and create the only truly independent nation in Africa. Egypt Sees Grave Danger In Trana Dam Project CAURO, Nov. 6.—The Cabinet was summoned today to discuss the news of the projected construction of Lake Tsana dam by a New York firm, which has caused a great sensation in this country. After the meeting, at which the Minister of Public Works gave his views on the subject, a communique was issued stating that a cable had been sent to Premier Sarwat, who is now in London, acquainting him with the Cabinet's views and describing the effect of the news on public opinion. At the same time a dispatch was sent to the Egyptian Minister at Washington asking fuller details. Nahas Pasha, Zigbailou's successor, declared that he took a serious view of the matter as building a dam at the outlet of the lake beyond Egyptian control would endanger the very existence of the country, and Egypt could not agree to it. The granting of the concession by Albysalia is regarded as a strangent for a friendly neighbor. Danger threatens Egypt, is the keynote of press comment today. Reporters spent the whole of yesterday endeavoring to obtain an authoritative statement on the subject, but it is evident that even government circles were taken completely by surprise by the New York Times announcement. The Minister for Foreign Affairs admitted he had not received any communication from the Minister at Washington, whose answer to a request for details is eagerly awaited. Negro Flogged to Death LINDEN, Ala., Nov. 2... Indictments charging manslaughter were returned by the Marengo County Grand Jury today against Chris Ray, Renie Phillips and J. P. Phillips, who have been held in jail at Lindsen on a charge of flogging L. Greathouse, a Negro, inflicting wounds which later caused his death. The accused were cach released on $1,000 bail. Evidence at the preliminary trial indicated that Greathouse was flogged by unmasked men for removing a piece of wire from an automobile belonging to Ray which had been sold to Ray by the white employer of the Negro. He did not know that the automobile had been sold and believed his employer would not object to the removal of the wire, which he used in repairing a battery on his own car. Greathouse contracted pneumonia shortly after the flogging died a DELEGATES CHOSEN FOR PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS IN CUBA Hughes to Head Delegation and Deliver Good-Will Message President Coolidge to Seek to Remove Irritation and Ill-feeling WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.--An important move by this Government to strengthen its prestige in Central and South America and carry the American doctrine of mutual assistance to the Southern republics will, it is announced, be made at the sixth Pan-American Congress to be held in Havana Jan. 15, to which President Coolidge today appointed the American delegates, who will be headed by former Secretary of State Hughes. President Coolidge expects to deliver the opening speech and present the views of the American Government on subjects that have caused irritation and in. the groundwork for messages of good will by Secretary of State Kellogg and the delegates. List of the Delegates Chosen Charles Evans Hughes, Chairman, under whose administration many of the most vital issues and disputes were brought to the fore. Henry P. Fletcher, American Ambassador to Italy, who held posts in Chile, Mexico and Cuba, and is familiar not only with the questions involved in our relations but is a Spanish scholar. Oscar W. Underwood, former Senator from Alabama, who is expected to devote himself to legal questions and consideration of the international law agenda. Dwight W. Morrow, American Ambassador to Mexico, who will have an opportunity to voice the American position on questions directly affecting his mission. Former Judge Morgan J. O'Brien of New York, an international lawyer and jurist, who has given long credit to the problems involved. James Albert Scott of Washington, an International authority, connected with the Carnegie Pence Fund. Ray Lyman Wilbur, President of Le兰 Stanford University. Dr. Lee S. Rowe, Director General of the Pan-American Union. The new Ambassador to Cuba, who will be appointed before the Congress convenes, will be added to the delegation. This Congress is considered of great importance to the United States in that it will offer the Government, and the men who have been making its foreign policy, an opportunity to place fully before the Central and South American representatives policies which have been under criticism. Will Seek to Remove Ill Feeling Will Seek to Remove III Feeling It is recognized by the government that an anti-American feeling has arisen in the Southern republics, fanned by propaganda and by some who have been displeased with the position this country has assumed in its relation to pending questions. The long-standing dispute with Mexico, the Tama-Arica abutation and the recent activities of the United States in Nicaragua have developed irritations and misunderstandings that discussions in the Congress may afford a fitting opportunity to remove, in the opinion of officials. The program for discussion proposes an agreement on international law, an agreement for pacific settlement of international disputes, recommends uniform legislation on commercial and maritime law, suggests measures for extending to women the same civil rights as are enjoyed by men, proposes international laws on aviation and international regulations of railways. The proposed Pan American railway and sources of other questions aimed to benefit the members of the Pan American Union also are included in the program. The discussions may last several months. President Coxidge has indicated his intention of opening the congress, if conditions here do not prevent. If he goes to Cuba he has promised Senator Fletcher of Florida to visit a number of cities in his state, such as Jacksonville, Macal and St. Petersburg. Roads So Bad After Rains Farmers Consider Flying SPARTANBURG, R. C. (A.P.) Driven to other means of transportation by what is represented as a future twenty-five-year flight to obtain passable roads to connect them with the county seat and the rest of the world, the citizens of Gold Mine School district may consider the possibilities of a public aviation field. A circular has been issued calling a meeting to consider the subject. It asserted that roads to Spartanburg and other towns are impassable in wet weather, and that it is still necessary at times for the mail carrier to keep a shovel in his wagon. The possibilities of an aviation field, the circular said, were suggested by the recent presence in Spartanburg of one "Laneburg or Lineburger" who came to interest the people in the practical possibilities of commercial aviation. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1927 No Decision Yet Made On Mr. Garvey's Last Application For Pardon No Decision Yet Made On Mr. Garvey's Last Application For Pardon In view of the many misstatements appearing in the press in regard to the application for Executive clemency made in the Hon. Marcus Garvey's behalf, The Negro World desires to state the facts very briefly for the information of its readers. In the first place, Marcus Garvey's attorneys did not at any time ask for a parole—they asked for a pardon or commutation. No parole could have been asked for, since, being rated as an alien, although he had taken out his first papers, he was automatically debarred from seeking such relief. No decision has yet been handed down in connection with Mr. Garvey's last application for pardon, filed on the 25th of February of this year, and as recently as November 1st Mr. Garvey's attorneys were informed by a Washington official that "he had spoken to the Attorney General about the Marcus Garvey matter within the last few days and am expecting to present it to him in more definite form in the near future." A Little Truth and A Little Nonsense Africa Indeed Waiting for Help from America, but Knows the Liberator Will Not Be White LONDON, Nov 4 - Oscar Terry Grosby, noted engineer, banker, explorer and Under-Secretary of the Treasury during the Wilson Administration in the war, having charge of the financial dealings between the United States and Europe, has returned to London on his way home after six months in the interior of South Africa studying the customs of the native tribes. Given facilities by the South African Government, he visited many tribes who had never seen another white man, except possibly the police administrators, but he found, even in these remote tribes, a knowledge of America. In some strange way, perhaps as a result of the propaganda of Mervis Garvey, Mr. Crosby believes, the native chiefs get the idea that their liberator is coming from America, and many eagerly asked his interpreter if he was the American who was content to free them. Mr. Crosby says that the natives on the whole are contented with British rule, only obeying to the foot that they are not allowed to war on each other. WASHINGTON - It is reported from Nairobi, Kenya Colony, Africa, that 100 white families are to colonize in the highlands of the Kenya Colony under the Empire Settlement Act. The colonization group will be made up of farmers. Big game hunting and sport have heretofore rather overshadowed home making in the colony. It is said to have been discovered that the highlands are climatically an area of health for the whites where families may be reared there without sending children out of the country for reasons of health.

He made this clear to callers today in discussing the visit yesterday of Quezon and Osmana, the two Filipino officials who came to Washington and sought an interview with him. The President said he had intended to talk further with General Wood about the proposal to put the Island government under a civil bureau, but the general's death prevented. The more he discussed it, and thought about it, he told callers, the more he became convinced that the best thing to do was to leave affairs unchanged. URges Action By Legislature In literally, Mr. Coolidge, in his talk with the Filipinos, urged that the Philippine Legislature should act upon the appropriation measures and appo- nitions before it. It was not stated at the White House whether the President went into details as to the Wood appointments which the Legislature has declined to confirm, but it was said that Quezon and Osmena agreed that the Legislature should act. The two Filipinos, it was stated, talked with the President about general conditions. They did not recom- and any particular person for Governor General, but expressed the hope that the man chosen would be one familiar with Philippine affairs and conditions, and would be able to cooperate with them, from which it was amused that they meant one who would be in sympathy with the anti-Wood faction, of which Quezon has been the recognized head. Mr. Quedon told them he was interested particularly in roads, agriculture and education in the islands. He suggested they confer with Secretary of Agriculture Jardine and ask them to send an expert to the islands to look into the better development of agriculture. It was stated that they promised the President they would do this. David Present, Harrows, of the faculties of the University of California, is the latest addition to the list of those under consideration for appointment as Governor General. He is being backed, it was reported tonight, by Secretary of Commerce Hoover. Dr. Harrows knows the islands, and was superintendent of schools in Manila in 1900. Acquittal of Schwartzbard Feather in Jews' Cap Acquittal of Schwartzbard Feather in Jews' Cap (From The New Republic) (From The New Republic) All sorts of morals are being drawn, by the daily press, from the acquittal of Schwartzbard, tried in a Paris court for the admitted murder of Petura, ex-President of the Ukraine, who was guilty of some of the cruelest pogroms in modern history. We think most of these morals are unjustified. The Paris jury simply decided that Schwartzbard's not deserved to be regarded as a political crime, not as an ordinary murder, and that Petura deserved to die. Juries in France, as in America, have a habit of overriding the law to reach an end which they regard as fair, just as they will sometimes find men guilty of crimes they have not committed, in order to express a dislike for those men based on other grounds. In this case, the world in general agrees with the jury, and will not be disposed to question the verdict too closely. The Jews have been solemnly warned not to make Schwartzbard into a racial hero; but the warning is idle. It asks for too much of human nature, to require them to accept this as an ordinary trial. SOUTH AFRICA'S NATIVE QUESTION DISCUSSED BY A MAN ON THE SPOT African Journalist Reviews the Political Situation in South Africa as It Affects the Natives—Pernicious White Policy Is Dictated by Fear, but Bantu Progress Cannot Be Checked—How Dummies Are to Be Elected to Parliament Complaints and Research Secretary, I. C. U., and Sub-Editor, "Workers Herald" (Writtan for The Negro World.) South Africa's native affairs could unhesitatingly be divided into three groups, viz: Political, economic and social. The most acute of these, to my mind, is the economic position. The three positions above mentioned have, however, branches and sub-branches, with the result that when one attempts to deal with the three major branches separately, the position becomes bewildering because they are inter-dependent. There is also a sort of religious "problem," but this is largely caused by the natives themselves. Not being a religious fanatic, Read every word of this FREE Book.

HOLDS SOUTH AFRICA QUITE FREE OF BRITAIN Cabinet Officer Says It Would Not Even Need to Declare Neutrality if England Went to War CAPE TOWN, South Africa Nov. 1. The Minister of the Interior, Dr. Malan, has made a statement to a Prestoria paper on the flag settlement which, it is thought here, may have serious effects. Dr. Malan, who all along opposed further concessions to General Smuts, maintained in his declaration that dropping the shield on the national flag is hereditarily unimportant. The earlier design provided that the Union Jack and the two Republican flags should not be an integral part of the national flag, but should be imposed on them in a shield. The accepted design includes three force flags as an essential part of the national flag, but Dr. Malan contends that that makes no difference. "They symbolize" he said, "exactly the same thing as they would have done in a shield." He then declared that the Nationalists had lost nothing by the settlement, and continued: "What we should not lose sight of is what the Union Jack still stands for. It symbolizes for us only and solely an association or connection with the other parts of the British Commonwealth of Nations. The difference, therefore, is that our own flag flies over us, while the Union Jack flies between us and Britain. We might, for instance, do the same with the American flag if we were on an exceptionally friendly footing with the United States." Dr. Malam also said that it would not be necessary for General Hertzog to propose a common symbol for the Empire at the next Imperial Conference because there does not exist such a thing as an Empire." He added: "We are absolutely free—so free that if England were in a state of war it would not be necessary for us to declare a state of neutrality. It follows naturally that we are neutral. The Union Jack simply indicates that we are on a friendly footing with England." Dr. Malan's statement is so completely at variance with the views of Minister of the Justice Roos, and of the Cabinet as a whole, that it is unlikely it will be allowed to pass over. s "problem," but this is largely s. Not being a religious fanatic, however, I think very little of it. The Political Situation Just a peep into the political situation within the scope of this brief article may be of interest. I am quite aware that American writers and other public men are fairly conversant with the political situation in South Africa, but when the vill is lifted by a South African, who is on the spot, then a different shade of interest may be cast on the matter. Many prominent politicians, statesmen and educators of the world still believe that Africa is a "dark continent," and that its people are far behind the times. This may be true to a certain extent in so far as the Central African jungle is concerned, but when the term is applied with the object of including South Africa, then the whole humbug can be exposed. It is generally held by the white people of South Africa that the native is not qualified yet to have equal political rights with them. This is a half truth, and a half truth is more desploable than a whole lie. South Africa's native population can be divided into three classes: (1) Rofned, educated, and as civilized as any white man; (2) semi-educated; (3) raw natives, but not apt to as "raw" as you would think, because some of them even do skilled work in the gold and coal mines. Taxation Without Representation Now, for the raw natives nobody will perhaps press for equal political rights, although one would like to see them get something else in return for the taxes they pay to the government. For the semi-educated native we claim a certain amount of representation in Parliament, gradually increasing as they fill the ranks of the educated and civilized class. And, lastly, who can object to give an educated and civilized man full political privileges? The whole argument, however, centres around the cold fact that there can be no taxation without representation. This very fact places the South Melanian white man on the horns of a dilemma, hence his shifty, facing-both ways attitude when dealing with native affairs. In the Cape Colony alone the native and colored (mutuato) people enjoy the franchise, although General Hertzog's Native bills now seek to take this privilege away from them. "Free State" a Slave State The Native Representation bill dealing with this matter, provides that there shall be seven native constituencies in the Union of South Africa, in which the native will elect white representatives to sit in the House of Assembly; one such constituency will be in the Free State (called "Free State," but is really a "Slave State") FLORENCE WILLS, FAMEB ARTISTE, PAID REMARKABLE LAST TRIBUTE AS WORLD MOURNS HER PASSING 180,000 Jam Harlem Streets from Morning Till Dusk as World’s Greatest Comedienne Is Borne to Her Final Resting Place—$100,000 Floral Offerings in Funeral Mawoleum to Be Erected By ERNEST K.

It is significant that the greater portion of the amount received has come from the smaller centres, and not from the large cities. It is not the majority who will save the race by fostering those instruments that serve its interests. Ig has never been so. It perhaps will never be so. Rather, the thinking few have been as Atlas—bearing upon their shoulders the burden that belongs to all, The Negro World is not a newspaper in the ordinary sense of the word. If it were, there would be no necessity for it to be subsidized by its readers, It is because of the serious- ness of its program and policy that it has such hard sledding in the open field of journalistic competition. It is a serious paper for serious people—people who see no sense in fiddling while a racial Rome is in flames. Are you one of the race’s serious members? If you are, the way to show it is in a practical manner. Ideas are great, but they must be propagated by means of the dollar.

We hear a great deal about “civilized | labor” and a “white man's country” and “white civilization.” Even ; Mr. Amery succumbed to the temptation to talk in this strain. “You ; have got here,” he said, “from the point of view of climate and physical conditions, an ideal base from which white civilization aad | physical conditions, an ideal base work.” In one sense this ts perfectly true but a point which should be remem bered and which 1s 80 often ignored {i that the total population of South At. rica ta larger than that of Australis and almont as Inrge an that of Canada It Is true that the great majority o this poration ts non-European and uncivillzed of comparatively unciv- MMized, but we cannot afford to diare- kard their existence on that account On the contrary, their very backward- nena is a danger and a handicap, In all our achemes for adding to the num- hers of the white popviation by rein- ‘forcementa from outside we must never for a moment overlook the pres- ence, aa the most permanent element In our population, of the ersential kafir.

Mr. Amery did not, of course, over- look thin factor nor did he suggest that the natives should be driven out of the fields of employment ati lopen to them by further legislative discrimination or penallzation, He recognized that short cuts are not posaibte—they are least of all possible !n @ country lke this, Mr. Amery's view was that “you have to bring tn the type who are already cap- able of doing the work; whether it {s the work of try farmer with capital “4 the ekilled ar.isan, to fill the kind of places which are already occupied by white people, and trust to the steady and rapid development of the country, with its increased demand for native labor and the consequential rise in the scale of pay for native labor, to en- able the spheres of white men's Inbor to extend.” That is x very fair state- ment of the positicn. The fact re- mains, however, that where the scale| of pay for native labor Is lowest—as, for Instance, on the land, which in the other Dominions absorbs a larze pro- portion of the white population and from which tho white man, save In a supervisory capacity, 1s here virtually excluded—there ts in many quarters cho strongest opposition to any attempt on tho part of the laborer to improve nis economic position.

THE NEGRO WORLD ; . . |Grasfontein Diggers Stage Diamond Rush JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Nov. 4.--Grasfontein Farm waa the xeene of another exciting diamond rush this morning. At sunrine thou- xands of dixsers, representing prac- tleally the entire community, hurried to the digcings and began a well- organized raid on the owners’ re- nerves, the whole of which wero perrcd. The raid wan made in anticipation of the passing of the Precious Stones DIM and the determination of the Unten Government to paas the retro- spective clauses, especially as they apply to the limitation of the owners’ renerves to 250 claims, If the bill ts passed at the Joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament. It in estimated that there will be 12.000 claims on Grasfontein Farm available to the dixcers. This morning's ruah was not con- fined to the reserves on Grasfontein Farm, but the entire southern por- tion of the farm was also systemat- ically pegged, This part ts not yet prociuimed, but it is atated that proa- pecting has becn carried on there and that thousands of diamonds have heen lincovered In the last three days. | Dwarfs All Known Records | WASHINGTON, Nov. 2—The higite eat standard of living ever attained In the history of the work wes reached last year hy the Amertems people, the Bureau of Internal Reve~ nue sald todar in a report showing that the 117,000,000 p -sons in the United States had a total income tm 1926 of nearly $90,000,000,000, an tm- creane of about $27,000,000,000. or more than 43 percent, in the five years alnce 1921. ‘The bureau's figuree revealed an tm- crease in the nation’s income for each year since 1921, when a total of $62,000,000,000 was recorded. It tm greased $3,000,000,000 in 1922; $7,000,- 600,000 tn 1925 and $3,000,000,000 tm 1926, when a total of $89,682,000.000 was earned. The same increase hobis true for the average per canita in- come of persons gainfully occupied, which In 1921 was ‘$1,637, compared with $2,210 in 1926. “Phia great Increase in Income.” the bureau said, “is not the result of am Incrense in the price level, for the average price of consumed goods was actually slightly less in 19296 than im 1921."

DON'T FORGET PRESIDENT-GENERAL GARVEY AND HIS PARDON WE say, don't forget President-General Garvey and his pardon in this holiday season, but we hardly mean that, because it is unthinkable that there should be a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who could do so under the circumstances. He is always in the minds of the members and the hope is with them always that he may be soon released from prison and restored to them. That is a natural and consistent attitude of thought on the part of the members of the association, but it is our business nonetheless to keep them in remembrance and cheer them on in the good work. During the approaching holiday season, and before and after it, until we get what we desire, let us labor and pray that President Coolidge will extend executive clemency to President-General Marcus Garvey, the most valuable holiday present he could make the Negro citizenship of the nation, and of the world. WHEN THE GIFTED DIE YOUNG exceptional person does the world's thinking, average person does the world's work. It is not being without either of them, as they are necessary. It is fair to say that the exceptional person and appreciates the value of the average person, the person does not always understand and appreciate the person. The former is often stigmatized as being carried away with his learning or wealth, a ward for the rights and interests of the latter, an imagination of those who think in this way, the thinkers and workers naturally are bound to necessity. The architect and the builder nowhere without the workers who do the plans and specifications of the architect the master builder. The best of understanding, therefore, exist between the two, but it is so people are rich in average persons, those fed out and financed by others, but they are persons who map out and finance such works, indicap to the race, not only in the United States and in Africa, where we need more than we have. In this condition of affairs, it is one or more persons who have special gifts, life and make a place for themselves that contribute the thoughtful and discriminating, die, while work but partly begun, as it were. It is a calamate when the death of such persons occurs. So people are much poorer because of the rejection Scott Delany, daughter of Dr. Emmett University, and of Miss Florence Mills, the far. Both of them died in New York city, in the end the beginning of their careers, after thoroughe work and making a place for themselves on their chosen field. Mrs. Delany was thorough of a social worker by systematic education in the country, and she possessed in large measure of the dreamer, the poet, one of her last poems, number of Opportunity, entitled, "Sola nature and wonderfully appealing, as they will disclose to the reader: THE exceptional person does the world's thinking, but the average person does the world's work. It is not easy to get along without either of them, as they are necessary the one to the other. It is fair to say that the exceptional person usually understands and appreciates the value of the average person, but that the average person does not always understand and appreciate the exceptional person. The former is often stigmatized as being uppish and loof, carried away with his learning or wealth, and without proper regard for the rights and interests of the latter, but there is more in the imagination of those who think in this way than exists in fact. The thinkers and workers naturally are bound together by the law of necessity. The architect and the builder of a temple could get nowhere without the workers who do the rough work of shaping the plans and specifications of the architect and the directing of the master builder. The best of understanding and sympathy should, therefore, exist between the two, but it always does not. The Negro people are rich in average persons, those who do the work mapped out and financed by others, but they are poor in exceptional persons who map out and finance such work. This is a positive handicap to the race, not only in the United States, but in the West Indies and in Africa, where we need more trained minds and hands than we have. In this condition of affairs, it is a serious matter when one or more persons who have special gifts come upon the scene of life and make a place for themselves that commands the attention of the thoughtful and discriminating, die, while yet young, with their work but partly begun, as it were. It is a calamity to the Negro people when the death of such persons occurs. wei agr Aby tire rig' ne d' The Negro people are much poorer because of the recent death of Mrs. Clarissa Scott Delany, daughter of Dr. Emmett J. Scott of Howard University, and of Miss Florence Mills, the famous theatrical star. Both of them died in New York city, in the prime of their years and the beginning of their careers, after thorough preparation for the work and making a place for themselves on which to build in their chosen field. Mrs. Delany was thoroughly prepared for the work of a social worker by systematic education in the best schools of the country, and she possessed in large measure the creative genius of the dreamer, the poet, one of her last poems, printed in the November number of Opportunity, entitled, "Solace," being of this dream nature and wonderfully appealing, as the following closing lines will disclose to the reader: I am thankful for my bit of sky And trees, and for the shifting Pageant of the seasons.

And she had what the hoofer calls a personality, and the poet calls a soul. She will be long remembered." When the gifted die young, with little more than a suggestion of that they are capable, the race mourns and refuses to be comforted because they are not, and because "the harvest is rich but the labor are few." INTEREST GROWING IN THE NEGRO WORLD DRIVE gratifying to note that interest in The Negro World drive grown steadily and promises to continue, as the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association realize how important it is to have the paper not only function but to be of its departments. The members appear to be awaking that The Negro World is their paper and that it is their give it proper aid and comfort. There should be a general line. It is conceded that it is absolutely essen- have a newspaper which shall voice the hopes and aspirations and to declare for the benefit of outsiders the high aims and purposes of the association. The best there is in the association should find a voice in The Negro World, without which the association would be poor indeed. President-General Garvey understood this thoroughly when he established the newspaper as a medium between him and the people he desired to reach and influence. Not only the viewpoint of race interest in what the association is doing and purposes to do, in the parent organization, and in the local organizations as well, but the great body of people who make and direct the business and diplomacy of the world look to The Negro World for information and opinion on the international as well as the local aspects of the Negro question in all of its ramifications. That is to say, The Negro World is a high authority in its broad field on the Negro question, one of the paramount questions of the times, as rauch if not more so than the Jewish question. Judged from this angle alone the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can readily see how all important it is that the paper should be supported in such wise as to enable it to function in the highest and best way. Drives are necessary to arouse the people to their best interests in The Negro World, but drives go so far and stop. What is much needed is a larger circulation of the paper among the members of the association and people interested in Africa and its people, and in the Negro wherever he has become a part of the life of other nations. It needs more regular subscribers. The presidents of locals everywhere should, from time to time, direct the attention of their members to The Negro World and the importance of subscribing for it or securing it from an agent of the local, and there should be a reliable person in every local to sell the paper and to take subscriptions, and such person should be responsible to the president of each local for the proper accounting of the moneys collected. We are asking the president and his body of officers of each local to cooperate for the more general reading and paying for The Negro World. The Negro World is the necessary medium of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; as such it should be generally read by the members. It is far from being as generally read as it should be, if each member would make it his or her business to secure one or more new readers for the paper. And we should have a reliable agent in each local of the association. Shall we have what we should have? Of course. The question answers itself automatically. INVITING HELP FOR THE AFRICAN IN AFRICA It is quite a coincidence, to say the least, that two outstanding persons from Africa should be in the United States at this time to tell us about Africa and its people and its possibilities and to invite the American Negro to lend a hand in helping to solve the African's problems in the home land. Sir Gordon Guggisburg, governor of the Gold Coast, West Africa, speaking at Livingstone College, at Salisbury, N. C., invited educated young Negroes of America to have an interest in his brothers in the home country, declaring that he would gladly aid in placing any who wished to engage in the work of education. And he was not slow in declaring, after twenty-five years of contact, that the black man of West Africa "is equal in intelligence to any man of the white race." He says that the one great hindrance to Africa's progress has been a faulty system of education. A new and better system is going to be introduced, from which he hopes much, and in the working out of which he invites the active co-operation and assistance of intelligent young Negroes of the United States. While Sir Gordon was talking to the students of Livingstone College Chief Amoh III., of the Gold Coast, was talking much the same thing to the students of Howard University, at Washington. He, like the governor, pledged his willingness to lend support wherever possible to those seeking service in the rich continent of their fathers. It is to be hoped that the appeal of the governor and the chief will have fallen on good ground and that many will respond to the call to high service. Following the clarion call of Marcus Garvey six years ago and since interest in Africa and its redemption must grow more and more among the Negro people of the Western Hemisphere, who have enjoyed the advantages of a liberal education and been fortunate in gathering wealth. It will become a pleasure and sense of duty among a large body of such people of education and wealth to give of service and money to help the African in the homeland solve his problems, which are many and vexatious, but which can be solved to his advantage, as Sir Gordon and Chief Amoh so eloquently insist, and which we have for long believed and advised as a matter of policy as well as duty. Interest in Africa and its people is growing more general and must continue by the nature of the case to do so. We shall soon be making a systematic study of the whole question in our colleges and universities, as we have already undertaken to do at Universal Liberty University on the James River. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Just as long as we are separated, possessed of a do-nothing policy, standing on the receiving end, too hide-bound, stings and tight-waisted to give our means to the cause we profess to espouse, just so long will we be political scavengers and at the bidding of unscrupulous bosses. Without entering into the merits of any particular revolt, the striking Negro student is the symbol of the growing discontent of the Negro masses with present-day conditions of racial and economic prescription and discrimination, and of their purpose to protest and challenge them.—Washington Tribune. It is an impossibility for any of us to be styled successful unless we can muster up some co-operation among our own people. When the true spirit of co-operation takes hold of us, then we will see success coming to us from all directions.—Oklahoma Eagle. But what does tomorrow bring? Another sunlight, another day of hope, of tackling the tasks of life with a will to accomplish.—Tampa Bulletin. There is no certainty of action. Whatever we undertake is more or less determined by something related to chance. We feel that deatiny is not altogether governed by chance, yet there is something in our nature that takes a leap into the darkness sometimes in search of light.—California Voice. No race on the globe is more ignorant of its past life and history than the Negro race, and, as a consequence, no race is less proud of itself than we are. Ignorance creates fear; knowledge is the mainspring of bravery and generosity. Hence the Mary things that are necessary to our future advancement as a race, none is more important than a careful study of our past history and a thorough knowledge of our possibility and rights as citizens.—Shreveport Sun. Applause counts for but little. The men and the women who occupy the front pages today will pass into forgetfulness tomorrow. Only those who stand for and champion great principles and causes survive the tooth of time. The others die. are buried and forgotten.—Star of Zion. The Negro press presents many stirring historical episodes. Papers existed in the past of the race whose editors had no commercial motive whatever in publishing them. Many were published at great loss. The effect of their influence will perhaps never be accurately measured.—Pittsburgh Guard. Uniform and systematic programs must become effective if the race is to fit into its rightful place in American life. The masses must be educated to take their places in the industrial fields of this country, and the professional men must fit themselves to compete with the best talent in the world. The fortunate ones who have an opportunity to get the higher training must give of their time and talent to the uplift of the masses.—Atlanta Independent.

Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in a meeting of college students and faculty, recently called by Dean William Stark, announced that Hampton Institute is now recognized and accredited by the State Department of Education of Virginia as a standard technical and professional college, a classification which places its teacher training work on a parity with that of the State teachers' colleges at Farmville, Harrisonburg, and Fredericksburg. "It is fair to say," he said, "that Hampton is doing work now equal to that being given in these institutions, and more, for Hampton is training not only teachers, but business men, builders, and librarians in its college, none of which is yet done in these other institutions. Hampton is not a liberal arts college and should never seek to be. The liberal arts colleges are already numerous enough both North and South. The distinctive place of highest usefulness of Hampton is without question what the State Department indicated—that of a technical and professional college, developing teachers of agriculture, home economics, physical education, music, teachers for the high and elementary schools, for business and librarianships. Hampton should be second to none, seeking quality above quantity, with the highest standards of instruction and performance, graduating men and women known for their ability to do their work and for their character wherever they go. Hampton does not want to lose any of the characteristics that made it famous in the years gone by—characteristics which included wholesome respect for hard work and hand skill, as well as for character, moral fitness, trustworthiness and dependability. Foreign Students Study Aims and Methods HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. — A party of eighty foreign student- from the International Institute, Teachers College, Columbia University, visited Hampton Institute Monday and Tuesday, November 7 and 8, for the purpose of studying educational methods and alms at that institution. Under the leadership of Professor Del Manzo and a chaperone, the party visited the Whittier school—the community day-school used as a practice school by college students of education—and inspected the work of the Home Economics School, Trade School, School of Agriculture and Shellbanks Farm, which offered much of unusual interest to the group. A special chapel service included an organ prelude, singing by the Hampton Institute choir and religious folk songs by the student body in Ogden Hall. The foreign visitors spent the second day visiting classrooms, meeting in the afternoon for a special conference with the staff workers, where educational problems were discussed and questions provoked by the party's visit to Hampton answered. The party left for Baltimore, there to conclude its program of inspecting notable educational institutions in the East. HEALTH TOPICS By Dr. M. ALICE ASSERSON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Healthy Middle Age As we approach our middle years it is well to get the habit of having yearly health examinations. Everyone should have a complete medical examination by a competent physician once every year. This is especially important from thirty years on. Heart and kidney diseases, serious digestive disturbances, cancer and other diseases can usually be discovered in their early stages and corrected before they have done serious harm. If people will have thorough medical examinations every year. Be sure you get a sufficient amount of rest. Do all things moderately, because temperate living has a great deal to do with healthy middle-age and older years. Do not over-eat. Avoid constipation. Exercise regularly. Do not try to do in one afternoon what should be distributed over seven days in a week. Go to your family doctor or to a nearby clinic if you cannot afford private physician's fees. If there are any physical defects that should be corrected the doctor will discover them and prescribe treatment to remedy the impairment. Take care of your general health. Do not neglect having a thorough physical examination once each year by a competent doctor. CHARITY Could we but draw back the curtains That surround each other's lives. See the naked heart and spirit, Know what spur the action gives, Often we should find it better. Purer than we judge we should— We should love each other better If we only understood. Could we judge all deeds by motives. See the good and bad within. Often we should love the sinner All the while we loathed the sin. Could we know the powers working To 'erthrow integrity. We should judge each other's errors With more patient charity. Ah! we judge each other harshly; Knowing not life's hidden force; Knowing not the fount of action is less turbid at its source; Seeing not amid the evil All the golden grains of good; Oh! we'd love each other better If we only understand.

States of India Seek Autonomy Reforms Granted by Great Britain Create Enthusiasm for Democracy The existence of the Indian States in the Empire of India is unique. Nowhere else in the world does there exist, perhaps at no time in the history of the world has there existed, a great empire containing within itself large areas which, while owing allegiance in the paramount power, in this case the Crown of England, are so free of its control. Independent, yet not wholly independent; sovereign, yet not owning complete sovereignty, constitutionally based upon treaties and agreements which confer rights and create obligations, these States have puzzled the jurists for a concise definition, says the London Times. They cover one-third of the area of India and contain about one-fifth of her population, and they are so scattered that without them the map of India would look like the picture of a moth-eaten garment. government, and having observed the downfall of kings in Europe without realizing that in more than one instance the power has simply passed to the uncrowned dictator, contemplatively talk of the States as "anachroisme," and are content to ignore the traditions of their history and the living sentiments of their people. But, as has often been remarked, it is by no means certain that what is sauce for the English goose is sauce for the Indian gander. It is true that not all of the many Indian States are With the exception of a few on the west coast, of which the most important are Travancore, in the extreme south, and the Kathiawar group, which lie a little north of Bombay, they are all situated in the interior. This geographical distribution has an important bearing upon their economic relations with British India, because, while none of them contains any port comparable to the great ports of British India, some control the headwaters of irrigation rivers, some have rights in their middle courses, and all potentially or actually come within the scheme of railways, of posts and telegraphs for the whole country. The Question of Reforms When the question arose how best to satisfy the aspirations of British Indians for a larger measure of autonomy it was, as the report itself shows, one of the primary considerations of its authors to avoid anything which should infringe the rights of the princes and their subjects. The problem of the States was too important, too vital to be overlooked; the States are far from being negligible, and to the extent at least of their area, population and resources they are as important to the welfare of India as a whole as British India itself. The position was none the less delicate and difficult. The princes, of course, recognized that they had no right of interference, nor did they ever try to interfere; they saw, moreover, the impolity of any attempt openly to oppose the reforms and so to antagonize the educated classes in British India. On the other hand, the authors of the reforms could not but admit that whatever they did might, and probably would, affect the Princes at least indirectly, and it was more in order to allay possible misgivings than to bring the States within the orbit of a scheme, which could not in any case apply to them, that they added those assurances of loyalty to existing engagements which are contained in the short chapter relating to the States. Certain adjustments in the machinery of control were, no doubt, suggested, and it is possible that the authors had in view the potential power of the new democratic constitution to interfere in the affairs of the States. There is, however, no evidence that these changes were devised to placate the Princes or to justify the conclusion that certain deplorable incidents resulting in abdication, which repeated in the present what has occurred in the past, can be traced to them. Enthusiasm for Democracy Enthusiasm for Democracy The consequences to the Princess, not only of the reforms, but of the whole trend of policy in late years, are to be sought mainly in the cumulative effect rather than in any act passed in British India. That which is done in the latter is reflected, not necessarily at once or very faithfully, put ultimately and in some measure, in the States. There is, in fact, a clash of systems. We have, rightly or wrongly, introduced the idea of democracy into British India; in the States, as indeed in British India, it is still personal loyalty to the ruler which counts for most, and in him is controlled the ultimate authority. British Indian politician, full of enthusiasm for democracy which holds out to them the only hope of safe- government, and having observed the downfall of kings in Europe without realizing that in more than one instance the power has simply passed to the uncrowned dictator, contemptuously talk of the States as "anachroome," and are content to ignore the traditions of their history and the living sentiments of their people. But, as has often been remarked, it is by no means certain that what is sauce for the English goose is sauce for the Indian gander. It is true that not all of the many Indian States are well administered; it is true that in some of them the old—we would not say Oriental, but, rather, medieval—ideas persist, but in many of the largest and most important States the government is admirable; it is notorious that, be the reason what it may, communal dissensions are there conspicuous by their absence; the agitation of British India is, if not unknown, greatly discouraged, and communism, slender though its chances are anywhere in British India, has but a foreign hope in the Indian States. In no instance in which the power of certification was used by the Viceroy was its use better justified than when the bill for the protection of the princes against abuse in the British Indian press was passed over the heads of the Legislative Assembly. The princes have known how to protect themselves and they had a clear right to protection from their more powerful neighbor. Nor are politics the only consideration. The geographical position of the States subjects them to the consequences of economic policy in British India. If British India, yielding to the popular desire, adopts protection, the tariff cannot but react upon the people of the States, although they themselves have no voice in the policy itself. It may be objected that the same disabilities apply to any island State with full sovereignty and that the arrangements with maritime countries in a State such as Switzerland could be applied to the Indian States. That those have not been made is probably due to the peculiar political conditions of India. The Indian States form part of the British Empire, and their fortunes are far more closely linked with those of British India than are the fortunes of any two foreign States with one another. Social changes have crept in from the one into the other; the governments of the more advanced States are modeled on the British pattern, and in some important departments continuity of management has been thought necessary. In handing over the control of economic affairs to the British Indian Assembly the paramount Power has placed or is placing in power those who might still have seen, as one they were, the subjects of those very princes over whose States they are to wield influence in this vital respect. They can, however, hardly be expected to view coming changes without a thought of the possible influences of those changes upon their own interests, and it behooves those on whom devovens the study of Indian politics to see that, so far as may be, the prestige and authority of the princes shall be strengthened rather than weakened. Blue Poppy Sought In Wilds of India KARACHI, India.—An expedition is on its way from England to search for a blue poppy in the northwest frontier mountains of India. The head of the team will be Capt. Kingdon Ward, noted explorer and naturalist, who has already made journeys into China and Thibet to search for unknown plants. "Blue poppies are by no means unknown," says Capt. Ward. "But they are very rare. We shall search for mountain plants and fauna of all kinds, and we shall be away from England about a week." mae ERE: ie SE ep ye ee Ee op see oe TNS ae ee "THE NEGRO WORLD, 8A’ EDABAR 12, 1987 4 i ss @W BREATH OF THE ORIENT | Maya Temple Incense, Delicate and enctio efucs het |e air with the j Se) Fo Seema tea keto ae Le] age.

Among the higher castes, says the London Da'ly Mall, where the males are the wageearners and women sre relegated to the performance of huure- hold duties, their Ions is moro casily endured, and the parents willingly part with thelr daughters for nothing. Among the well-to-do they even pay & handsome price for an eligible hus- dand. The husband selected ts invariably a few years older than the bride, and the marriage rites are performed tn the home ef the bride's parents. Among the Hindus marriage is unt- versal. All Hindus atrive to marry off thelr daughters young, and strange dovices are often rerorted to in order to comply with the letter of the rtrict Hindu religious laws. Failing to xc- cure nn eligible husband a girl is made to go through a mock marriage with na arrow, a flower, or a trce, the real marrlago being performed later when a suitable hustand 1s availabe.

By Former War Leader Te Refuse War Service’ EERLIN, Nov. §.—The strange spec- tacle of a former war leader and en- thuatastle follower of the old regime and Commanding General in the World War advocating the refusal of all war service by the people of Germany was presented here last night. Speaking at a meeting of the League of Huran Rights, together with a number of prominent chemists and pacificts, Major General Baron von Schoenaich predicted that any future war would be conducted entirely by polson Kasea and would destroy not only civilization but humanity. The only way to prevent much horrible wurfare, the Gencral added, would be the refusal of every man to do miii- tary nervice. “War today Is oly a quertion of business,” he said. “The only bene- ficlaries of war are a few big indus- trlallsts oF politicians, The queation in how long will the nations leave chelr fate in the hands of a few irre- sponsible and selfish men.” Continuing, the general asserted chat the way to prevent wars was to reduce the tension between nations, udding that the pacifist movement ip most countries was much stronger chan tn Germany, although 92,000 per- wonn had joined the peace leaguo at cwickau in Saxony within the last few wocks and 9,000 at Dortmund. ‘X-Ray Is Turned on Cotton to Kill Weevil EL PASO.—The X-ray has been turned on cotton plants to ald growers in the fight against the boll weevil.

Yo soy El Estado" exclamó Luis XIV en el apogeo de su expectacular carretera como "EL GRAN MONARCA DE FRANCIA." El DUCE MUSSOLINI se conceptua una persona de igual calibre parodiando al francés en lo que a la vida del pueblo italiano respecta en la actualidad. El lo compone todo. por La Asociación Universal para el Adelante de la Raza Negra No nos desalentemos un solo momento, aconseja nuestro presidente general. Ninguna humillacion ha de ocurecer su visión del futuro. Un gran espiritu vive aun en nuestra raza. Su influencia le ha de llevar al triunfo. Con el fuerte oprimiendo y explotando al debil, la paz universal brillara por su ausencia. El señor Joe A. Rogers, quien a esta hora pasea por Europa, y que esta ligado con nosotros por la cooperación que nos prestara cuando trabajamos en El Negro Daily Times, en uno de sus artículos que escribiera desde Milan, dice que optó por demostrar un afecto político a Mussolini, tal como lo hace todo el mundo especialmente en las poblaciones pequeñas de Italia, o de otra manera se corre el riesgo de ser estropedeado por la multitud por la mas mínima sospecha de no asentir con la política del hombre de la hora. Hace una descripción del Fascismo de Mussolini de la manera siguiente: El honorable presidente general de esta organización da las gracias por los grandes esfuerzos realizados con el objeto de obtener su libertad. Lo conciente de ese apoyo y la lealtad a los principios de la organización, son para él una gran satisfacción la cual será manifestada ton pronto como se vea libre para luchar en la batalla en pro del adelanto de la raza y de la libertad de la madre patria. "El tópico de mas intensidad aquí como se ha dicho, es Mussolini y Fascismo. Me permito usar el singular porque Mussolini y Fascismo es una misma cosa como lo es Garvey y Garveismo; remontándonos a los caprichos de imaginación que la Edad Media imbuia en las mentes de algunos que podían decir con exactitud el número de angeles que danzaban en la punta de una aguja y establecer diferencias entre los mismos, así yo, no entiende italiano pero me siento como en casa en este medio ambiente después de haber pasado por la tormenta de discusión que se desatado al rededor de Garvey en 1922, en Harlem. No que exista tal tormenta aqui acerca del Fascismo, porque esta concepción política del Duce esta en el poder e Italia es como una calle restringida a determinado tráfico, o como una de esas aceras de Nápoles donde uted no puede caninar sino en una direccion tija estando expuesto a ser perseguido por la policía si atentare ir en dirección opuesta." A los millones de amigos en los Liberty Halls de este pais y del exterior envio mi mas expresivas gracias por su lealtad y patrocinio, dice el honorable Marcus Garvey en su mensaje semanal. Nuestra labor ha de producir el fruto apetecido y me place el poder contribuir hacia tal fin. Ha pasado el tiempo cuando la humillación y el abuso podian alterar el espíritu del verdadero hombre. Sin temor a las estrategias de los seductores, hoy mas que nunca me siento yo mas firme por el progreso de la raza; no importe cuan fuertes sean las barras de mi prisión ni la planta del opresor, yo continuaré con mi vista fija en el rayo de luz que nos ilumina en el camino hacia nuestra redención. La Asociación Universal para el Adenalto de la Raza Negra ha llegado a un nuevo periodo de prueba, y si nuestra labor durante los últimos siete años no ha culminado aún nuestras aspiraciones, en el cumplimiento de un deber sagrado hemos de redoblar nuestros esfuerzos, encarriando el programa cuya realización nos ha sido incomendada. Fortalciendo nuestra fé en el ideal de la causa que defendemos, no hemos de ceder un paso en el terreno que moralmente hemos ganado desde nuestra iniciación en la lucha por la absoluta restitucion de nuestros derechos. Demostremos al universo entero que el espíritu de determinación del valiente vive aun en nuestra raza, y por medio de su influencia llevemos al triunfo tan grande y noble causa. Leaders como un Mahatma Gandhi, Duce Mussolini y Marcos Garvey, que se suman un número de partidarios que creen en ellos, lo siguen a todas partes, creen en sus predicas, y estan siempre dispuestos a perder la última gota de sangre en defensa de sus apóstoles y de las doctrinas que estos patrocinan. Y de ahí la face del carácter de Marcos Garvey que sus enemigros nunca han podido comprender, porque ellos no pueden crear la corriente que ocause las ideas, y haga que estas sean mantenidas con entusiasmo y devote fervor. Aun escuchamos al presente las pláticas de la decantada paz universal. Pocos años ha, Wilson de America, Lloyd George de Ingraterra y Clemenceau de Francia profetizaron en Versalles un reinado de paz; gran número de conferencias tanto industriales como políticas se han celebrado con el objeto de sancionar la cuestión de la paz, pero todavía no ha dimanado de ninguna de ellas la solución del problema de una paz verdadera, de una paz duradera. Cuando el honorable Garvey tuc encarcelado, fueron muchos los que quisieron cumplir su sentencia e imponseer el sacrificio del encierro tal como fueron publicado en El Negro World a su tiempo debido. Esto significa que la contextura de que estan hecho los leaders es real y he aqui porque son muy pocos los que resisten la dura prueba de saber dirigir. Son muy contados los leaders de la humanidad; necesitan una modelación especial que responda a la gran tarea a que los ha destimado la Providencia. La paz del universo no ha de ser obtenida solamente por medio de conferencias industriales 6 políticas; si hemos de obtener paz en el universo, ella ha de sobrevenir cuando se cite a una conferencia inter-racial; cuando el judío se reuna con el cristiano, el anglo-sajon con el teutónico, la gran familia caucásica con la mongólica, y cuando todos ellos esten dispuestos a sancionar ese tan importante asunto con el negro. Todas y cada una de las sextas y de las razas alli representadas, podrán sanjar las diferencias que les ha guardado distanciados por centenares de años, y que les separará por illo tempore, toda vez que no se llegue a un mejor entendimiento. Si el hombre blanco continua explotando al malayo, al indu y al negro, todo cuanto podemos esperar de ello serán desavenencias, guerra y destrucción. Siempre que el anglo-sajon oprima al indu, toda vez que c' ruso continue sesinando al judio, será ello causa para una conflagración y veremos al hombre luchando en contra y destruyendo a su semejante. Si Inglaterra anhela paz, si Francia quiere vivir en paz, deben salir de Africa, porque en el futuro Africa será para ellas lo que ha sido Europa por más de trecientes años—un volcán de intrigas políticas y un emporio de rivalidad. El mundo experimentó el poder de los napoleones, de los czares y de los kaisers; hoy dia experimenta el poder de Inglaterra como el símbolo del astro mas brillante en la constelación política de Europa; pero, ¿qué sabemos del mañana? Open for Inspection Africa, victima de tanta injusticia, producirá en el futuro la misma intranquilidad creada en Europa en el pasado. Con tal disposición la humanidad entera caminará hacia el abismo y hacia la destrucción. ¿No podrá realizarse que no se cimenta la fundación de la verdadera paz, sino que por el contrario se provocan las pasiones de las razas? ¿Por cuanto tiempo ha de creerse que los cuatrocientos millones de nuestra raza hayan de tolerar el que se las explote y se les asesine? Cuando los encargados del readjuste universal prediquen la verdad escuesta con la sinceridad que a ella caracteriza, cuando los pueblos ogrimide desplierten del lotargo de tantos años, y se den flenta de su potencialidad, entonces cual Sampson, utilizarán su fuerza para derribar los pilares del templo de las injusticiens. Vemos con placer todo esfuerzo realizado por el mundo intelectual y obrero de la América Latina en el extranjero con el propósito de combatir los avances del imperialismo en nuestros países. Indudablemente la obra que se realiza con estos trabajos es excelente, pues esta agitación y propaganda conquista la opinión de las masas liberales de los pueblos donde tal propaganda se realiza y además, porque los elementos de procedencia hispana que han tenido que abandonar sus resistivos paises tienen una oportunidad para contribuir a la buena obra de dar a conocer al resto dal mundo cuáles y de que naturaleza son los males que aflien a nuestros pueblos. Las fuerzas que combatimos el imperialismo, también casi siempre, por multiples razones, conquistamos la simpatia de diversos y variados representantes de la opinión pública en el extranjero. Con la propaganda se llega a crear ciero estado mental poco partidario de las agresiones militares y guerreras contra la soberania nacional de nuestros pueblos. Este sentimiento puede en muchos momentos tomar cuerpo y arraigarse en la conciencia pública y ser eficaz en el momento critico que una acción belica vaya a poner en peligro nuestra integridad territorial. En otros casos en que poderosas naciones extranjeras consideran y ayudan a conservar la soberania de un pueblo pequeño y débil, es simplemente porque estas naciones no estin seguridad de la cantidad y calidad de la parte que le tocaria en los despojos del pueblo que se trata de agredir. Si estos poderes supieran que en el reparto del botin, ellos iban a ser favorecidos, entonces ese sentimiento de respeto a los debiles desaparecería por completo, dando curso al verdadero sentimiento imperialista que late en todos los gobiernos capitalistas. El trabajo más importante que tienen que realizar las fuerzas ante-imperialistas que hoy levantan su voz en favor de la América Hispana no es precisamente el que se esta realizando en el extranjero, sino el que hace falta llevarse a efecto en nuestros propios países en contra de los políticos de ocasion y del sinnimero de logeros de la patria que con el fin de apoderarse de las riendas del poder civil, military y politico, entran en transacciones vergonzosas con banqueros y con gobiernos extranjeros, a cambio de su cooperación y ayuda. La rivalidad y la intriga de estos caciques y tiranuelos sin prestigio y sin talento provocan commoniones y disturbios en la vida nacional de nuestros pueblos, que culminan en complicaciones e intervenciones extranías en la vida domestica, siempre con perjuicio de los intereses del pueblo. Dichos politicasticos venden, sin reparos de ninguna clase, no solo las riquezas naturales de su país, sino que encadenan y esclavizan económicamente a dos o tres generaciones, las cuales tienen que sufrir las consecuencias de las hastardas acciones de uno de sus hijos. —Grafico,N, Y. BENJ. F. THOMAS, Prop. Scientists Hope to Solve Puzzling Problems of the Third Dynasty Art CAIRO, Nov. 4.—The prospect of important discoveries is opened through the work at Sakkara of the Egyptian Antiquities Department excavators, who have unearthed the shaft of a tomb leading far underground into a chamber which may be one of a series of chambers and quite possibly, according to the evidence available, prove to be the burial place of Pharaoh Zoser of the Third Dynasty. This find, if it proves actually to be Zoser's tomb, will be the culmination of three years of exploration which have already revolutionized previously held conceptions regarding the early centuries of Egypt and have swept away many long accepted theories regarding the evolution of Egyptian art and architecture. The discoveries, it is thought, may throw light on the problem of why Egyptian Third Dynasty art, embodying fluted columns, rounded bastions and delicate architectural beauty, apparently suddenly gave place to massive masonry characterizing the buildings of Cheops, the great pyramid builder. New light, perhaps, also will be thrown on the myterious predecessors of Hykos, who flourished at Tunis long after the earliest period of Egyptian history. Metropolitan Museum Interested Discoveries concerning King Zoser and his time are of particular importance to students of Egyptian history because his reign in the third dynasty came at the beginning of modern authenticated knowledge of Egypt. Furthermore, he has generally been credited with being the originator of the pyramid, which later attained such grandeur under Cheops. Egyptologists at the Metropolitan Museum expressed great interest yesterday in the cabled news of the discovery of what is believed to be the tomb of King Zoser at Bakkara, near Calro. Archaeologists throughout the world have been closely following the work of F. M. Firth, an Oxford man of high standing in Egyptian research, who has been carrying on the excavation of Bakkara for the Antiquities Department of the Egyptian Government. From time to time notable discoveries have issued from his excavations. One of the most important was that reported last March of the finding of the tomb of Im-Hotep, architect of the funeral temple of King Zoser and credited with being the author of the earliest stone monument known to man. Mr. Firth, it was said at the Metropolitan, has been engaged for several years in excavating the enclosure in which King Zoser was buried. This, containing his pyramid, is surrounded by a high limestone wall of great beauty. Within this enclosure have been found the tombs of members of Zoser's family. Im-Hotop also rested near his royal master. Two years ago a statue of King Zoser was found in a niche in the wall. The statue is now in the Museum at Calro. According to Egyptologists here, the craftsmanship of Zoser's tomb is of unusual interest because it shows the beginnings of the architectural style employed in the Theban Empire at an earlier period than it previously had been supposed to exist. The discovery of the actual funeral chamber of King Zoser had previously been reported, but authorities here said yesterday the dispatch from Calro might indicate that the chamber previously reported was a blind passage purposely constructed to throw footers off the trail.

NEW YORK (Continued from page 1) and two in every other province. The clauses in the Constitution dealing with the native and colored franchise in the 'cape' are repealed, and no native would henceforth be put on the voter list. Those already on it will be disfranchised by a special commission to be appointed by the government. Even should native names be erroneously left on the roll, they will not be allowed to vote with the European and colored (or mullatto) electors. The franchise is left as it is, so far as the Provincial Council elections are concerned. Of course, the Provincial is simply a sort of Divisional Council with nominal powers. Dummie to be Elected Now, under the new system, the natives will not be allowed to vote individually for the election of their representatives, but the government will prepare lists of chiefs, headmen or other political staffs, who will be the voters, and the value of their votes will be based on the quota or number of persons in respect of whom they are elected to vote—irrespective of the views of such persons. The members of Parliament thus elected will be more dummies. They will not be competent to take part in any proceedings in the House which deal with increased native representation, or the native franchise, nor can they vote upon a matter considered to be of confidence or no confidence in the government of the day. The utter humbung of this is patent. It is intended that once this bill is passed the native should never be in a position again to regain the franchise. It also shows that it is not through the incompetence of the native to become a civilized citizen that he is an gagged, but it is the intention to keep the gag on for all time—whether the native becomes civilized or not. The qualifications of a registered voter in the Cape under the old system are: (1) He must be able to read and write; (2) He must be in possession of property to the value of £75, or earn a wage of over £50 per annum. This applies to all sections of the population. It will be seen therefore that natives compete for the franchise on an equal basis with the Europeans. I have not the exact figures on hand at the moment, but it can be safely said that there are many natives in the Cape Colony who have the necessary qualifications, but who have not taken the trouble to get themselves registered. This lethargic spirit is due more or less to the fair treatment the natives have been receiving in the Cape during the regime in the English. In the Transvaal, Free and Natal, where the treatment is endlessly harsh, the natives would not such an opportunity to be begging. Course to register now is just as good, as close as stable door after the house, out to see his Lucianna. Fear Dictates White Policy The actualason for refusing natives the franchise in the other three provinces, and introducing legislation that will rob them of this privilege in the Cape, where they still enjoy it, is based on fear. The readiness and perfection with which the African native assimilates Western civilization has struck fear into the hearts of South African white men, and they foolishly think that they can stem the tide of African progress by means of artificial barriers like the present series of oppressive bills contemplated by the government. This, of course, as everybody will admit, is a false and futile STRANGE POWER Madam DeLong is reliable.

Bulwer Failed to Win Girl He Loved Edward Bulwer, the novelist and dramatist, had three love affaires before he met the woman he married. His marriage, it is well known, turned out badly. The first two affaires were not particularly serious, but the third was, perhaps, the one great love of his life, mays the Detroit News. "She was one or two years older than I." Bulwer wrote in his autobiography. "She had the worst face, the greatest temper ever given to girlhood. The sort of love we felt for each other I cannot describe. It was so unlike the love of grown-up people, so pure that not one wrong thought ever crossed it, and yet so passionate that never again have I felt, nor ever again can I feel, any emotion comparable to the intensity of its tumultuous tenderness." There was an enforced separation, the young woman was married against her will to another and died a few years after the marriage. Years afterward Bulwer, at the height of his fame, made a pilgrimage to her grave, and he said that his whole life had been affected by their separation.
