The following able statement of the tenets of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is culled from a speech delivered by the Hon. Marcus Garvey in Liberty Hall, New York, immediately after his release from the Tombs Prison on bail on September 13, 1923. The full text of the speech appears in the second volume of "Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey," or "Africa for the Africans":
"The Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks to do for Africa similarly what the Pilgrims and, later, George Washington sought to do for America. We Negroes want a government of our own in Africa, so that we can be nationally, if not industrially and commercially, removed from competition in race, a condition that will make both races better friends, with malice toward none, but respect and appreciation for each.
"Our greatest trouble, however, is with our own people. There are some in the race who are not in sympathy with an independent Negro nation. To them 'they have lost nothing in Africa.' They believe in the amalgamation of races for the production of new racial and national types; hence their doctrine of social equality and the creating of a new American race. Feeling as they do, divides us into two separate and distinct schools of thought, and, apparently, we are now at war with each other, and they have gained the first victory in having me (through their misrepresentation) indicted and convicted for the purpose of rendering me hors de combat.
"We who believe in race purity are going to fight the issue out for the salvation of both races; and this can only be satisfactorily done when we have established for the Negro a nation of his own. We believe that the white race should protect itself against racial contamination, and the Negro should do the same. Nature intended us morally (and may I not say socially?) apart, otherwise there never would have been this difference. Our sins will not make the world better; hence, to us of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the time has come to rebuild our ancient and proud race.
"My personal suffering for the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is but a drop in the bucket of sacrifice. To correct the evils surrounding our racial existence is to undertake a task as pretentious and difficult as dividing the sea or uprooting the Rock of Gibraltar; but, with the grace of God, all things are possible, for in truth there is prophecy that 'Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand, and Princes shall come out of Egypt.'
"We are expecting the co-operation and support of liberal White America in the promulgation of the ideal of race purity, and the founding of a nation for Negroes in Africa, so that those who, after proper industrial and other adjustments, desire to return to their original native homeland can do so in peace and security.
"Now that the world is readjusting itself and political changes and distributions are being made of the earth's surface, there is absolutely no reason why certain parts of Africa should not be set aside absolutely for the Negro race as our claim and heritage. If this is not done, then we may as well look forward to eternal confusion among the races.
"Negro men will never always feel satisfied with being ruled, governed and dictated to by other races. As in my case, I would never feel absolutely satisfied with being tried and judged by a white judge, district attorney and jury, for it is impossible for them to correctly interpret the real feelings of my race and appreciate my effort in their behalf; hence, the prejudice from which I suffer. A white man before a black district attorney, judge and jury would feel the same way, and thus we have the great problem that can only be solved by giving the Negro a government of his own. The Black Star Line was an effort in this direction and bore a relationship to the Universal Negro Improvement Association as the Shipping Board does to the Government. My effort was not correctly understood, and that is why some people have become prejudiced toward me. Yet in the final presentation of truth the fair-minded is bound to come to the conclusion that the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is reasonable and proper for the solution of the vexed question of races."

In his annual report the B. Morris W. Hines, Trustee of the Mission Board, and noted that the Board had been about during the past year for mission work, an area of more than $100,000 over the preceding year.
In the attentive and interesting Seventh, the Bess Ralton K. Diffendore and John R. Lieward reported that there were now 35 members connected with the mission churches, who are increasing of about 500 over the year before. Almost half of the members are in India and Barma.
Stanley High, author and journalist and a secretary of the board, who has just returned from Africa and Asia, in an address warned of an impanding inter-racial conflict between the white and non-white populations of the African continent. The growth of nationalism in Africa, he said, was more momentous than in China, India or the Philippines, but it was being overlooked by the white races. "The white man's booze, his gambling dens, comprise one sort of forces that are making the new Africa," he said. "The propagandists of the Soviets, using mob tactics and preaching hate and revolution, constitute a further influence."
Earlier the New W Y Chen pastor of the Church of the Heavenly Rest in Newbury, China, in an address charged that Pastor Russell the philosopher was directly responsible for a good deal of anti missionary feeling in China because of the free-thinking doctrines he preached to Chinese students on a recent tour. Dr Chen said Mr Russell told the students that religion was outwork, simply a deception and a blindness to the advancement of Tolerance. This attitude was challenged by Dr Chen who said that Christianity had no permanent contributions to China, it not in buildings and money, at least in new thoughts and new ideals. It was announced that there were no Methodist Episcopal missions or missionaries in Hawkow or that part of the Yangtse Valley affected by the recent Nanking disaster in Hawkow.
Shaw Offers Simple Plan
For Prevention of Poverty
LONDON, Nov 19 - Sparkling Shavantisms from the pen of George Bernard Shaw appear in the December Issues of "The London Magazine" Some of them are
"Without religion life becomes a meningious concentration of accidents, and this evolution is the religion of the twentieth century"
"For a man of the same sort of lotot when he is not in it"
"I am not a godly that attire men to talk. My work is constitutive, early daily practice I write conveys a message. I am the messenger boy of the new age"
When asked, how he would prohibit poverty, it B.R replied "In a variety of ways, if necessary, by putting to death every person earning less than 1,100 years or asking for more."
Toes Are Transplanted Take Fingers' Place
CHICAGO--The Herald and Examiner reported an operation in which the toes of a woman were transplanted to her hand to replace dismembered fingers.
The woman Mrs Ida Jones of St Louis whose third and fourth digits on the right hand were severed in an automobile accident, watched the operation as it was performed by Dr Carl Tink at the North Chicago Hospital.
Local angioplasty were applied while two toes of the woman's right foot were sewed to the second knuckle of her right hand. They were kept in contact by a plaster cast for ten days.
The paper quoted Dr. Beck "It is only a matter of time when the new fingers will possess the sense of touch which the nerves send to the finger tip."

Punishment unless they hung on.
A basket was lowered on a rope and had placed the babies in this and they were drawn to safety.

King Fuad Would Extend Jurisdiction of Courts To Cover All Residents
JONES N.Y. July 17th. The highest important duty of the Egypt relations with the powers together with substantial charges to the status of foreign affairs in the Nile Kingdom, and powers in official affairs here as foreseen by King Fuld's speech opening the Parliament at Calais. Egypt today. What is regarded as the most important portion of the speech is directed toward a mediation of all negotiations required so as to assist the jurisdiction of the Egyptian courts and the application of laws in all matters of Egypt.
The king said that when agreement in principle to all reforms had been obtained from all the capillatory powers the Egyptian government would invoke an international conference to arbitrate the necessary agreements. The monarch's optimism though purposeful, vaguely framed references to the recent conversations here between Sir Austen Chamberlain the Foreign Secretary, and Premier Sarwat as sending toward an eventful treaty of alliance-recognition. Anglo-Egyptian relations are regarded here as justified by the progress of the negotiations so far.
Some opposition from the foreign colonies in Egypt to the proposals regarding the civilisations is expected, but, in view of the recent marked improvement in the relations between Great Britain and Egypt, the British government may be expected to back up the Egyptians' position in this respect.
STABS TO DEATH SCHOOLMATE HE COULD NOT BEAT
White Boy Joins Fistic Battle with Negro Schoolmate, Then Wields Fatal Knife During Grudge Fight—Were Evenly Matched
MONTCLAIR, N. J., Nov 18 - A 14-year-old boy stabbed to death a schoolmate of the same age here today with a knife manufactured in the manual training room from metal used for kicks of try balloons. The dead boy is Thomas Johnson, a Negro, of 49 New street, and his assistant is Joseph Glannett of 79 Elm street, now under arrest charged with murder.
Last Monday, Johnson, an athlete in the "opportunity" class, had sought with Glannett, who is in the eighth grade. Few classmates knew of the light, and none, apparently, was aware of the cause of the bad feeling. Classes of the Glenfield School were dismissed at noon today, and as usual the pupils arrived through Glenfield Park, which贮藏 the school, on their way home for lunch.
The path of Glannett and Johnson crossed, words were exchanged, and instantly the chant. Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! rang out. The two boys were of a size, both hunkily built. They stood toe to toe and hammered away as only grunted fighters can. Soon they were rolling over and over on the ground.
Glannett squirmed loose, there was a flash of metal, and Johnson a stened muscles, relaxed. Glannett was too dazed to realize what had happened.
Patrolman Richard Harman of the Essex County Park Police pushed through the crowd and sent for an ambulance Johnson died at the Mountainside Hospital at 10 o'clock, fifteen minutes after he arrived there. Dr William Brien, Deputy County Medical Examiner, said that the weapon had entered the heart.
Herman, arrested Grumetti at his home and he was chased with murder and sent to the Parental Home in Newark to await a hearing. He told Chief of Police Edward F. Kelly that he made the knife "to protect himself." He had ground an edge and atttole point on the blade.
Principal Gaye Hoe said Johnson had had a very good record and that Glampert was a bright pupil who had never given trouble.
The death of the Johnson boy is the third in his family in a few months. In September a brother was killed by an automobile, last month a younger brother died of illness. His mother is a widow and has two sons living. Schoolmates sent a wreath and are planning to attend the funeral, which will probably be Monday.
MOOR'BRIGANDS FREE
SIX HELD FOR RANSOM
RABAT Morocco, Nov. 11. The Steeg kidnapping adventure which thrilled all of Europe, came to an end today when two men and two women, who were captured by pathe the tithe men on October 20 and carried into the Moroccan interior were released. The party is understood to be on its way to Kabba, a French outpost at the foot of the lower Atlas Mountains. Meanwhile, it was learned that the Armed aliens' who were captured a month ago by another tribe also have been released. The others freed are Yves Steeg nephew of the French Resident General at Morocco Jean Mullot, Mime Dickoole and the Burmese Stuart. The tribesmen demanded 6000 francs a man in a city of trump and to the
14-YEAR-OLD BOY MADE SULTAN OF FIERY MOROCCO
France, to Increase Influence Over Moroccan Protectorate Arranges Choice of Boy to Ascend Throne of Late Sultan Yussef
PARIS, Nov. 18. Monlay Yussif late Sultan of Morocco, was buried today at Kez with the rest of the Mussulman religion, and with all the honors of the Christian French Republic. His third son Monlay Mughan med, we will admire his successor this afternoon. The late Sultan is 80 years old and was recently rebuilt. It is bride was his cousin a daughter of the former Sultan brother, Monlay Othman, and is the first of the four legitimate wives to which the Sultan of Morocco is entitled. The lad was selected by the College of Ulmus in an almost all-day session today in preference to his two older brothers, Monlay Hassan. It is understood that both personal and political motives played a part in this selection, since the presence of a monarch on the Moroccan throne will doubtless tend to increase the power of the French over their protected state through the influence of the French Resident General was always powerful over the late Sultan. Today's ceremonies, in accordance with Moslim destiny, were extremely simple, but French troops in great numbers defiled before the cataclysm upon which the dead monarch lay exposed in the courtyard of the great palace.
Theodore Shog French Resident General, accompanied by the highest military and civil dignitaries, made all haste to Fez from the capital, tobat when the death of the Sultan was learned. They were respectful witnesses of all the days proceedings with the exception of the Mosque rites for the dead, which were performed in the Great Mosque. Non Moshes are not admitted to mosques in Morocco. M Steege and other officials waited for a long time outside the mosque for closure during these services.
Then the procession, with the prescribed chants, proceeded to the cemetery, where the Sultan was entombed beside his predecessors. Troops under the command of the General de Chimbrun there rejoined nightly honors. The entire population of Fez and nobles from the furthest loyal districts attended the ceremonies. In which the three sons and the two brothers of the former Sultan were prominent figures. While these services were going on the College of Uleinas had been deliberating in secret. Its choice was not announced until after the burial rites had been complied.
The accession of the new Sultan, whose complete name is Moulay Mohammed Hammada, will be the signal for sweeping changes in the Sultan's administration. Practically all offices of importance, with the exception of that of El Mokht, incumbent Grand Vizier will be subject to new appointment. The reorganization of this personal will afford the French an opportunity for judicious direction. The young Sultan is known in Morocco for 'ing, am and other things, the first Prince of the Dynasty ever to ride in an automobile in Fez. The event, which occurred when he was four years old, inspired the Grand Vizier to write a poem which is known throughout Morocco.
The Sultan, according to tradition, will live in rather close retirement within the palace. A nunchuk guards each door of the Sultan's quarters on the second floor. There he has a great room with a veranda overlooking the gardens.
The installation of the new Sultan has been somewhat disturbed by reports current in Morocco that as a result of the recent kidnappings of six Europeans and their ransom recently, reprisals are being prepared against the rebel tribesmen by a French.
The Irench Foreign Office issued a flat denial of the report that General Weygand, former aldea of Marshal Foch, will be named I solident General of Morocco replacing M. Steeg who would go to Algiers as Governor during the military action which it said to be contemplated.
Mr. Abramovitz Goes Back to School
Unless set right by later returns we must accept Lena Abramovitz as the oldest pupil in New York's elementary evening schools. But he is only seventy-seven. The older Cato began learning Greek at eight, in an age when lives aseraged much shorter than they do today. There must be many such examples.
Born in Russia to Mr Abramovitz remained different not for lack of native ability but for lack of opportunity immigrating here he had to work hard to support at his childhood length a wife and five children. Now the children are happily married and self-supporting, the old man has more time and he is employing part of that leisure very happily in going to school.

Once they conceived the soaring folks that this was something just out the information horizon well worth finding for it. Only interest no more in science than in the pleasure at the discovery. No more in the discovery than in the pleasure at the discovery.
GOVERNOR OF ALGERIA
French Cabinet Names Prefect Bordes to Succeed Violette
PALACE, No. 19 - Pierro Borday the Prefect of Albes was appointed governor general of Algeria to succeed former Governor General Maurice Violette at today's meeting of the Brunei Colonel at the Elsies Palace.
This definitely ends the rumors regarding the appointment of General Maxime Weygand as governor general of Morocco and the transfer of Governor General Julie Steg to Algeria to facilitate theiliation of a campaign by the French to subdue the unattended tribes of the Atlas Mountains.
M Bordes has spent much time in official positions in North Africa. He was appointed prefect at Constantine in 1917, general secretary of the Algerian government in 1819 and prefect at Algiers in 1926.
It is said that he not only enjoys the
college of the French government,
but also that of the native population,
which will probably make his position
doubly strong.
'TIGER' FLOWERS, FAMED FIGHTER, DIES SUDDENLY
---
Collapses After Minor Operation for Cataract Over Left Eye In Private Sanatorium—Cause of Death Shrouded in Mystery
(From the New York Herald-Tribune, November 17)
Tiger Flowers, former middleweight boxing champion of the world, died suddenly last night at Dr W. G. Frank's sanatorium, at 42 West 70th street. Fighters had just undergone a minor operation for a cataract over his left eye. Advices from the sanatorium indicated that he died at about 8 o'clock.
The Negro prizefighter was operated on during the afternoon and came out of the ether in good shape. He was creating comfortably when two hours after the operation, he collapsed suddenly and died shortly afterward. Details of the cause of the collapse were withheld at the hospital and death was announced here at the office of Walk Miller Flowers' manager.
Flowers won the middleweight title in a fifteen-round decision bout at Madison Square Garden February 26, 1926, from Henry Grob, who died under similar circumstances in October, 1926. He lost the championship on a questionable decision to Mickey Walker in Chicago, December 3, 1926.
Boxing followers were surprised to hear of the death of the mauling, quenching Negro, as there had been no indication of the trouble which resulted in his death. Only last Saturday night 'flowers had spared a four-round knockout victory over Lee Gates in this city, and he was preparing for a long-delayed return bout with Walker.
Boxer Was Church Deacon Theodora ("Tiger") ("Deacon") Flowers was one of the quaintest characters the ring has ever known. He was a man of simple faith, with a firm belief in Christianity, and these characteristics earned for him the appreciation of Deacon Nor was it merely a ring nickname, for Flowers was the steward of the Butler C M E Church back in Brunswick, Ga., his native town. His ring connections caused much disapproval among the congregation in Brunswick. But Flowers quoted from the Scriptures to prove a man can be a worthy Christian and a professional fighter as well. He called attention to the first paragraph of the 11th Psalm, which always has been his prayer in the ring and which reads:
"Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my eyes to fight."
This mixture of religion and boxing made the Tiger a colorful figure of the ring
Won Title from Grab
Flowers was born in Comble, a little town in Georgia, on August 5, 1895. His father was a porter on the General station of Georgia, and from his father and mother I flowers acquired his faith and love of religion. It was not until 1917 that the Tiger had his first experience as a boxer and less than ten years later he won the world's middle eight championship by defeating Harry Grob in a fifteen-round decision bout at Madison Square Garden. February 26, 1926. He lost the championship to Mickey Walker in Chicago on December 3, 1926. On a celebration which to this day has been called one of the most questionable on which a title changed hands.
Older Turkish Women Now Bob Their Hair
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov 19—Since shingling and hobbling are now popular with Turkish flappers their big fathers and mothers, who once knew the restrictions of the veil and social exclusion, are following suit. This was metied at the first barbers' expedition in Turkey which opened here this week.
While Turkish women of the present unanticipated generation have not widely adopted President Kemal a expressed preference for European women a headgear, yet modish Turkish bats are increasingly musting the silk courses which are worn closely about Turkish women a heads hiding their hair completely.

AFRICA'S STRENGTH NOT HER GOLD DIAMONDS, IVORY OR RUBBER, BUT HER PEOPLE, IS THE SIMPLE FACT
White Men No Longer Are Able to Spread Their Propaganda That the African Is an Inferior Human Being: The African Is Now Fully Awakened, and Even the Enemy Must Admit His Worth and Greatness
Africa has always been a puzzle to the world, and we believe she will continue so till the end of the chapter. There was a time when the scientific world seriously engaged itself with the consideration as to whether the African was not the missing link between man and beast. That stage seems past forever, and it is a curious phenomenon that at the present day some European thinkers are beginning to recognize that the aptitude of the African in the field of culture and intellectuality is of a higher order than that of the average

Packed in a metal box, on a roll-fold container
Denial of recent assertions, that foreign-born elements of the population have a higher rate of criminal commitments than native born is contained in a letter from United States Representative Emmanuel Celler to Richard Washburn Child, acting chairman of the Conference on Prevention of Crime. The letter was made public yesterday by the National Council for Protection of Foreign-Born Workers.
"When the two groups are compared for identical urban districts," it reads, "the foreign born generally have lower rates than the native born, for felonies as well as misdemeanors. Adult native-born whites in Chicago in 1920 had 1.09 times as many arrests for felonies and 2.2 times as many arrests for misdemeanors as the adult foreign-born whites."
The letter attacked Representative Albert Johnson, chairman of the House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization, saying, "I know no man in public life today who has been less sympathetic to the aliens than Mr Johnson.
"No one has laid heavier-restrictions upon the non-native than he. His suggestions, therefore, must be taken with many grains of salt in the light of his prejudice."
The "suggestions" attributed to Mr Johnson included compulsory registration of aliens.
Drops in Diamond Prices Blamed Chiefly on Wars
LONDON, Nov. 19 — Throughout history wars have been the principal cause of temporary depreciation in the prices of diamonds, according to a report prepared for the National Jewelers' Association of Great Britain by Sidney H Fall. New York goodwill. The report says that the first attentive record of prices on any particular diamond was £3 a carat, paid for a brilliant in 1750. The price of a similar stone in 1901, it says, was £45 in 1914, £60, and today, £90. The total annual sale of rough diamonds at the beginning of the nineteenth century did not exceed £500,000. By 1860 it was £1,250,000, and today it is £17,000,000. Sixty years ago the Portuguese Court sold 60,000 carats for £110,000 and upset the market. Now that is the production of three days.
Mr. William J. Clissold in the London "Star" has recently drawn attention to this phase of the matter. He points out that Africa's strength is not her gold or diamonds or ivory, but her people, and adds: "We are extraordinarily slow to realize the simple fact." He proceeds to show that gradually the worth of the African is dawning on the minds of many white people, and that those who know best are making the discovery first. In dealing with the adaptability and capacity of the African he points out that the wisest magistrates, teachers and missionaries unite in praising the African's adaptability and capacity, which, given the chance, can turn an African, even in one generation, from a savage to a civilized man. Now what follows is in his own words: "Probably such a phenomenon has never been seen before. I have talked to an African Chief who might, but for his color, have been a member of Parliament or a diplomat. Yet his childhood was spent in herding cattle on the velvet. Imagine a Dorsetshire peasant being transformed similarly."
Today Negro America is furnishing not only students eager for knowledge, but teachers of students. They are said to be taking charge of their own greatest institutions, and that they are even entering the teaching ranks of white institutions. This is truly an astonishing result in a little over fifty years of Negro emancipation.
And the results are the same who ever you turn, either to the West Indies or to West Africa. A West African of the Gold Coast, Mr. J. B. Danguard, has just taken the Ph.D. degree of the London University, about the highest test in the world. With these facts before us it is extremely difficult to appreciate the views of those Europeans who been resolved to contine the African to a water-tight compartment as far as his training goes.
We are glad to see that this matter is fully taken up in a recent issue of the "African, World" under, "West African Echoes" by that versatile writer "W F H". He opens by drawing attention to the fact that there is much talk just now in connection with the question of African education about "Africanism" and the necessity of preventing Africans from being (Continued on page 5)
4 U.N.I.A.Victims of Chattanooga Outrage Appeal For Aid To Battle For Justice
TO THE MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION IN ALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD:
We, IRA JOHNSON, HENRY BAILEY, LEWIS MOORE and JAMES JACKSON, are now confined in iron cells in Hamilton County. Chattanooga, Tennessee, jail, awaiting trial under exorbitant bonds which we are unable to make, and we are appealing to our friends and to the lovers of liberty for assistance.
The cause of our imprisonment is as follows: We attended a meeting in Chattanooga, Tennessee, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, at which there were about ten or fifteen men and about forty or fifty women and children present. Police officers forced their way into the hall where the meeting was being held without warrant of law and without any claim that they crime was being committed at the time, and after entering the hall over the protest of the doorkeeper of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, said doorkeeper, having objected to the officers coming into the hall without stating their business, or what they wanted, a Chattanooga police officer drew a pistol and fired two shots at the doorkeeper and in the direction of women and children sitting in this hall.
EXPANSION FUND DRIVE
STEPPING ON THEIR CORNS
As if they had taken offense at our reference to the fact that the rural areas had outdone the urban in their respective responses to this appeal; several of the larger cities sent in reports (see acknowledgments on this page) showing that they were by no means asleep. This is very heartening, and it is to be hoped that other cities that have not so far made a showing, will "gird up their loins and enter the fray." The individual dollar may not count for much, but if each individual sufficiently interested will deny him or herself to that extent the results can be made not only gratifying, but amazing.
We are not ashamed to confess to our readers that we feel they are being deprived of two pages of reading matter which they ought to have and which we-cannot give them because of the stern necessity of husbanding our resources so as to assure our continued existence. We believe in the old saying that "the sick can get well, but the dead may be resurrected." Well, we mean to stay alive so as to stage what the athletes call a "comeback"! You who are reading this can do your little to assure the success of our efforts. There is an old western saying that to succeed a man needs the three GIs—Grace, Grit and Greenbacks. Now, the good God has given us the grace and we have the grit, so we leave it to you to read between the lines. Now, while you are thinking about it, cut out the below coupon and send it in with your donation.

This produced a panic and reinforcements were called for by the police and practically every colored man that was seen leaving the hall was shot at by these officers. One man in the hall had a rifle and he shot two or three times, as we are advised, at the policeman who was shooting at him. We did not do any shooting ourselves and were innocent spectators at the meeting and two, of us were shot during the trouble.
Previous Threats
Prior to this trouble threats had been made against the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the members were told that the Ku Klux Klan was going to blow up the hall where they had the meeting.
This incident was written up in the paper with flaming wheadlines as a Negro riot, and the organization was represented as being guilty of anti-American sentiment. It was circulated that we were worse than the Holshevists of Rugsa; in fact, we were pictured as having assembled for the purpose of scattering sedidious literature and making seditious speeches, and great bitterness has thus been an angered against us. Our bonds would require approximately $40,000, and we have not got one cent in the world.
We are laboring men and were listening to the statement of our leader as to the purpose and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and attended the meetings in
a lawful way, and at the time of the raid made by the police we were singing religious songs in the hall, with no thought of creating a disturbance or a riot. Two of us were hurt and one policeman was hurt, and the newspapers at Chattanooga are hostile towards us. We have no money, and the organization at Chattanooga has been practically dissolved and disbanded and its leaders scattered, and we are left in jail helpless and without assistance from the outside world.
This case is liable to be made a test case as to the rights of this organization and its membership to act under the law, and we are advised that we have a right under the Constitution of the United States and of the Constitution of Tennessee to meet and to discuss public questions and to hold religious services, and that this meeting was a lawful meeting.
In Need of Medical Treatment
James Jackson, one of our number,
had one of his legs shot, all to pieces

a cell with his leg in a plaster of Paris

Glare of Publicity Brings Quick Help To Slavery in British Protest
LONDON, Nov. 4—It is an old and trite saying that one-half of the world does not know how the other half slaves. But its truth has just been proved snow. Most Americans, and most Britishers-for that matter, probably would say that with abolition of slavery in the United States the ownership of one human being by another ceased to exist in any country in the world where white men ruled.

We ask that all contributions be sent to HONORABLE WILLIAM WARE, 330 GEORGE STREET, CINCINNATI, OHIO. We need $10,000 to prepare and take care of this case, and to appeal the same in the event of conviction.
Under the law of Tennessee, the defendant is required to get his own proof and to pay the expenses of his witnesses to and from the court if they live outside of the state, and he is to hear the expense of taking the depositions of his own witnesses, and we have no funds with which to meet these expenses.
Save Four Innocent Men
Four Race men are suffering in a Tennessee jail and are appealing to the philanthropy of friends of all races to help them in this case, because, they are not guilty of crime and are without friends and money to make the necessary defense where every citizen is entitled to have made for him when his liberty is involved. Language is inadequate to convey our feelings to the outside world in this letter. The half has not been told, but our trial will soon be called, and without help from outside friends our doom is certain. Four innocent men will probably be consigned to the Tennessee coal mines for long terms upon charges made against them when they are innocent and merely victims of circumstances.
Says There Are Judges Who Break the Dry Law
URBANA, Ill., No. 14 (A.P.)—Judges who violate the prohibition law, and public men who "love their bellies more than their country" were held indirectly responsible for crimes of present day south by former Judge Andrew A. Bruce, professor of law at Northwestern University, in a convocation speech before students of the University of Illinois last night.
"Young men and women commit crime because they have lost their faith and their reverence," he declared.
"They have lost respect for the government, themselves and their parents."
The Eighteenth Amendment never will be abolished, Judge Bruce said, "so there is only one judge to do—obey the law."
Glare of Publicity Brings Quick End To Slavery in British Protectorate
LONDON, NOV. 7—It is an old and trite saying that one-half of the world does not know how the other half slaves. But its truth has just been proved anew. Most Americans, and most Britishers-for that matter, probably would say that with abolition of slavery in the United States the ownership of one human being by another ceased to exist in any country in the world where white men ruled. But they are wrong. Slavery has just been abolished, to take effect on January 1, in the British protectorate of Sierra Leone. The protectorate, however, must not be confused with the British colony of the same name; where slavery was abolished a long time ago.
This action followed with dramatic suddenness upon the disclosure to the public, which was nearly 100 percent ignorant regarding the matter, that slavery existed there. It was the result of a court case in Sierra Leone which, from the standpoint of its effect upon the institution of slavery, deserves to rank with "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
Blavos Sue Mastero
Two slave owners in the protectorate recently recaptured some runaway slaves. The slaves sued their masters for personal assault, force having been used in the capture. The slaves won in the first trial. The slave owners appealed the case to the Supreme Court of the Colony of Sierra Leone. By a vote in two to one the judges ruled that, slavery still legal in the protectorate, the masters had the right to use a force in the capture of runaways.
News of that decision was a blow to the public conscience of this country, which had supposed that no such thing as slavery existed anywhere under the British flag, at least not with the authority of British law and the backing of British officials.
It was followed by publication on the editorial page of the Times of a letter from Sir John Simon, Member of Parliament, former Liberal Cabinet officer, one of the leaders of the Liberal Party and one of the outstanding leaders of the English bar, protesting against continuation of slavery in the protectorate. Commenting on the court's decision, he wrote: "Judges do not make the law, but only do their best, often in most difficult circumstances, impartially to interpret and apply it. But the law in question is what British legislatures and British administrations choose to make it and if this decision represents the present law in the Sierra Leone protectorate, is it tolerable that it should remain so?
Departed British Support
"It would be inestable indeed if the chiefs of West Africa were led to believe that they have behind them the support of the highest British authorities for maintaining a system of slave owning."
The judge who dissented from the majority opinion declared, "Slavery is repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience, and the court should not support the institution in any shape or form, whether the legislature expressly forbids it or not."
This letter of Sir John's immediately was supported by dozens of other letters and editors in the British press, and a few weeks later the Legislative Council of Sierra Leone passed a bill abolishing slavery in the protectorate. It was a picturesque occasion. The Council met in a long low room of Government House in Freetown. Oppose the Governor, Sir A. R. Slater, and the other British officials, who were dressed in, white, sat the colored members of the Council, including three native paramount chiefs, in long robes of blue and green, colored fezes and bright slippers. Thore were present also representatives of the colony's natives, wearing tall coats, high collars, white vests, massive gold chains and tan shoes.
Government is Surprised
The Attorney General, A. C. V. Prior,
in moving the second reading of the
bill, explained that the Government
was as much surprised as any one at
the court's decision, that it had been
supposed slavery was abolished under
the ordinance of 1928 and that, in view
of the recent judgment, the time for
piecemeal reform had passed. There
was some native opposition to the bill
on the ground that slave owners should
be compensated for their loss, but in
the end the chiefs bowed to the inviable and the bill was passed.
It is estimated that 215,000 slaves in the protectorate will become free on January 1. In 1916 the number was 219,255. Virtually all of them are owned by natives, as the law already forbade white British subjects, subject to British law, to possess slaves. The number of slaves was, in addition, gradually decreasing under a law passed a couple of years ago providing, first, that slaves became free on the death of their owner; second, that all children born after January 1, 1927, were born free and might not be enslaved, and, third, that any slave might purchase his or her freedom for the sum of £4.
Two Problems Involved
The great difficulty with which the British authorities have had to contend in carrying out their desire to abolish slavery has been, first, to obtain the willing consent of the native chiefs, and, second, to overcome the problem created by the maintenance of slavery in adjacent territory.

My Dear's Name is
In the protectorate of Sierra Leone, which came under the British rule only thirty-two years ago, Great Britain does not exercise sovereign rights. The British authorities there deal with the paramount native chiefs more or less as equals, and many laws affecting the latter are established through treaties. Then, too, existence of slavery in Liberia complicates the enforcement of the abolition of that institution in the protectorate. It is estimated that there are more slaves there than in Sierra Leone, and slave trading from Liberia into the protectorate is continuing on a large scale. There are many exports, in fact, who fear that as long as widespread slavery exists in the hinterland of Liberia it will be almost impossible to abolish slave owning in Sierra Leone.
Students Suspended for Armistice Day Protests
As a result of protests against compulsory military training which they expressed at an Armistate Day meeting at the College of the City, of New York, Alexander Lifschitz and Leo Rothenberg: students, were indefinitely suspended on Monday, November 14, by President Frederick B Robinson. President Robinson charged the two students with "disrespect" toward the faculty because of their criticism of that body for failing to live up to an agreement to provide suitable civilian training for those who objected to military drill. Dr. Robinson announced that dolinite action in the case of the two suspended students would be taken by the Board of Trustees of the college at meeting to be held the latter part of the week
Cotton Estimate
12,842,000 Bales
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 — An increase of 161,000 bales in this year's cotton crop during the last month was forecast today by the Department of Agriculture, which announced total production, as indicated November 1, to be 12,842,000 equivalent 500-pound bales. The indicated crop is 5,135,000 bales less than last year's record crop. Generally warm, dry weather in October, the Crop Reporting Board said, permitted rapid gathering of the crop, with less than usual loss to yield and quality, and bolls damaged by the weevil matured with less loss from not than is usually experienced. Prospects Improved in Alabama, Mississippi and Oklahoma, but increases in those States were partially offset by a substantial decrease in the forecast for Texas, where production of 4,300,000 bales was indicated, as compared with 4,420,000 bales a month ago.
A month ago crop of 12,673,000 bales was indicated, with a yield of 148.9 pounds per acre. Last year's crop totaled 17,377,374 bales, with a yield of 182.6 pounds an acre.
Upon the 40,626,000 acres for the harvest this year, an preliminary estimated, the indicated production would approximate a yield of 151.2 pounds of lint cotton per acre.
Cotton of this year's crop ginned prior to November 1 totaled 9,025,795 running bales, counting 343,689 round bales as half bales and excluding linters, compared with 11,253,873 bales, including 268,327 round bales, to that date last year, and 11,207,197 bales by 184,708 round bales, to November 1 in 1925. the Census Bureau announced today.

WO things mankind, it appears, has always demanded and
[ possessed, as a mental aspiration after“freedom from the.
slavery pf the physical man., It has insisted upon hav-
“ing something to love and worship and something to hate and exe-
crate. We find this stubborn and ugly fact in the history of all
peoples, in the most primitive as well as in the most advanced. It is
a phasé of human character which has never been sufficiently ex-
plained. It is renarkable, ‘also, as ‘a matter of history, among all
peoples, that they gradually developed along family, race or national
lines, a system of worship which lent itself most readily to their
iopes and fears, and that they -have gradually evalved a priesthood
built upon their hopes and fears. It 18 equally true that all priest-
hoods, whether so designed or not, have tended irresistibly to de-
grade rather than to elevate the-worshippers. The priests, begin-
ning as the servants of the believers, have always gragually gathered
all power and wealth unto themselves which their people would
‘stand for without revalting, and finally become the masters instead
of the servants. _ of
But the Christian peoples, sho began by creating a priesthood
which they gradually, for the most part, supplanted with a respon-
sible ministry subject "to election and tenure by the will-of their
membership, are also idolators, having adopted the wrong thing as
the object of their worship. The God of Israel is,nothing more nor
less than’ the sun,god of Fgypt. Israel spells that: “I am Ra, the
Sun God" That is to say. in adopting the Semitic worshipt of the
Jews, who adopted the worship of the Egyptians, the Christian anto-
matically adopted the Sun Gad of Fgvpt as the qhject of thir adora~

lurcement ofthe liquor amendment to the Constitution as any
other group of the American citizenship. They mostly,-believe in
the proper covitgol arid regulation ofthe liquor question. as a matter,
of nidrality and good governthent, and they regard the failure of the
Federal Government to enforce the Volstead act, because the States
and’ mumcipahties have neglected to co-operate qwith the Govern-
ment, and the consequent development of a widespread and lawless
manufacture and sale of death dealing liquors, breeding more ‘law-
lessness than ever before existed in the history of the country, as
a matter of the gravest concern. The wisdom of the Adoption of the
eighteenth ariendment, and’ the inability of the Geverninent to en-
| force the enabling act has Jed to the gravest condition of affairs pos-
sible, as lawlessness in the manufacture and sale of liquors has bred
lawlessness ih a thousand other- directions, so that protection oi hie
and property bas become a real problem which taxes the police pow-

prevent Prohibition enforcement from becoming a party issue, be-|
cause there is such wide differences of opinion among the’ members
as to threaten the breakdown of old.party alignments, and th¥y have |
met ‘ith siime success, But living issues have a way of over-riding
he wishes of politicians and ‘becoming issues anyhow, because the|
great mass of the people demands that the question involved be set-
ted one way of, the other. . |
Senator W, F -Barah of Idaho, who has a‘way of forcing unpnpu-
lar issues upon the attention of the Republican party, of which he
(mstossy petrel sort of member, has raised a great big rumpus by
insigting that thessatonal Republican convention include in its plat
form direct endorsement of the Prohibition laws and a demahd for
their enforcement. He has provoked a discussion of the question
by partisans of all shades of opiniorl, and side issues have been
raised which are as vexatious as the main question. The demand
has been made that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, which
gutyantec the suffrage privileges. and immutities of Negro citizens,
which the Southern Democrats have made of no, force and effect,
shall be enforced if the Prohibition amendment ts to be enforced:
and the demand is made hecause the Southern “Bemocrats would
have it appear that Prohibition enforcemeift is largely in their keep-
ing. e .
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia says there is no similarity he-
tween the denrand for hquor enforcement legislation and sulfrage
enforcement, because there is no legislation in favor of suffrage en-
forcement, while there 1s such legislation in favor of liquor enforce-
ment. And Senator Glass jn this way directs attention to the glar-
ifig and scandalous fact that Congress for quite fifty years.has failed
ta pass the enabling fesislation necessary to make suffrage privi-
leges and Sgigunitirs eecrve alGough it has such power and has
been appeafed to insistently for fifty years to da so. Senator Glass
has, however, completely sprked the guns of those Republicans who
have threatened to go after denial of the right to vote afd be voterl
for in the Southern States as a checkmate to the Democratic clamor
for, Prohibition Enforcement. Nobody expects that Republican
leaders will rgeetithe challenge by having Congress enact the neces-
sary enabling legislation, to protect the Negro in the South in his
fight to vote and be voted ‘tor. . :
There is every indication that Prohibition enforcement will be
‘made one of the leading issues of the next Presidential election, and
that the conventions of both the leading parties will have tor make
some sort of declaration on the-question in their platforms. If the|
question should be forced to the front it may serve as a forerunner |
of a movement to correct hy appropriate Congressional eractment,
the scandalous disfrdnchisement of the Negro voters of the South-
ern States, to which the Federal Supreme Court has lent the weight
of its approval, based,on the right of the States to regulate such mat-
ters in the absence of Congressional enactment. The people should

_ The following excerpt from the speach of a white settler In Souther Rito~
Joule gives one an idea of the «ompwative popflations, and how they hope te
cope with the eituation — : : 7 & ve
‘an England and Weles thors aro per square mile 638 persona: In
Southern Rhodowa, 4 white and § black; In the United States, 33
whito and 3 blacks in the Union of South Africa, 3 white and 12 black.
During the past five yeare Rhodosia “has increased at the cate of
1,000 a year, half of whigh 1 due to immigration. Of the inorense.noarly
four-fifthe is due to growth of townships, leaving a baro 1,000 for the
rural districts, With the world changes which we havo seen going on

"ing the period at,tho rate of 1,000 a month, .« figure which many call
inadequate, Whitd.Ahodeste Is only « baby yet in years, | entirely

Why all thls anxiety to live in Africa one mey: avk? And we supply the
answer In the words of, one Major Percy Inskip, one of the campaigners tor ”
“snore whitee In Afiiea”? Of courad, he only refers to Rnédesia, a colony
founded “ay a consumptive Englishman nanied Cecll Rhodes, but the induce-
ment holds good .tor ge Afrita. Major Inskip states.— .
+ * "Rhodesia contains large areas of most fertile ‘soil, an oxcellent.
climate, and a sufficient rainfall. Jt boasts of many natural features
of great beauty, such ae the Viotoria Falls, tho Matopos, the Sincia
Caves, the Mazce and Umtati valleys, Melsetter and Inyhnga, and the
Umvukwes. Tho now eottler in assured of @ hearty welcome from =
progrecave and hoshitable commiinity, and when if is remembered that
Southern Rhodesia is an exporter of gold, coal, asbestos, chrome ore,

the noar future, you will yndorstand why 1 say thatel ‘shall be supe

at least doubled within tho next ten years.” :

THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS
OAKLAND, CAL.
Members of the Oakland Division are conspiring their efforts to reach disinterested or misinformed persons of Negro blood with the true aims and purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Friday evening, November 11, a representative group visited the 86th avenue Baptist Church in Elmhurst. The pastor, Rev. Thomas expressed himself as being in favor of the Garvey Movement, and extended to the members of the organization a hearty welcome. The sinister influence of the N. A. A. C. P. to divert the peoples' minds from the program of Africanism was distinctly in defense. "We do not want to be segregated," and "We are American citizens" (without rights), seems to be the disconcerting battle of this deceptive organization. There can never be any harmony between the truth and hypocrisy. It is the bounden duty and responsibility of all U. N. I A. Members to "spread the gospel of truth."
The mass meeting of Sunday afternoon, November 13, was pregnant with inspiration and vital information Lieutenant Joseph Johnson was master of ceremonies.
Mr W. R. W. Williams delivered a wonderful address on "The Black Man's Constitutions to Civilization" and the Moral Effects of Curvoyism.
The speaker proved to be a keen investigator of public affairs and the early history of the black people. The Juveniles continue to enthuse and courage the youth of the civil follower of Little Ester Johnson, only three years old, spiritedly and clearly gang, one versed of the National anthem and the chorus. "Advance, Advance to Victory."
Current Topics were read by A. S. Gray. News concerning the further partitioning of Africa was of paramount interest to all present. The progress of Chinese independence, another topic of importance to the African Nationalists was read and commented upon. Internal or local news contained the sad intelligence of another Tennessee bynching; the victim, accused of murder, accused of "attempted" assault of a white girl. The mob contained 360 "avenger." What will become of white posterity when the Negro imbibes the "avenging" spirit for the innumerable injustices suffered at the hands of the white mobbist? Such acts serve to further intensify the tigers of Garvoism.

MONTHLY SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION: Has Aviation Benefited Humanity?
BROOKLYN, N. Y.
The Brooklyn Division, No. 2, held its regular Sunday afternoon meeting at 880 Cumberland Street on Sunday, November 13, at 5 p. m. The aftermath of the division's seventh annual dance, which was held recently at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, indicated a new prospectus of the divisions activities in the city of churches. Well may it be said that an entourage of new faculty is in need to accelerate the work of the association in terms of effort and superior forcissort.
Doubts the present outlook is not blessed, especially when we attempt to predict that for the coming year the real work of the association's activities in these parts will be vested solely in the Brooklyn Division. Whether or not the thousands of inhabitants, of color in our borough will, be aware once more of the great momentum of race-consciousness and the only ultimate source of "deliverance" which the U. N. L. A. propagates, will be determined, not by flamboyant make-shift, enterprises, but by concrete examples of sterling worth. Members from local literary clubs have pledged their support in behalf of the work of the division.
As an evidence of the growing interest which is being manifested in our work by local students of contemporary thought on November 13 Mr. I. L. Gibbons, himself a member of the Brooklyn I. O. B. Research Society, was the principal speaker. He delivered a lengthy discourse on "Our Present Inconvenients and Future Hope," which was "put over" in a masterly manner, judging from the apause of the audience. "The philosophy of life yesterday, today, and for years to come," he wrote, "maze of the survival of the fittest." Mr. Gibbons explained while he drew an analogy of the Jews and their dispersion. He carried the audience through their period of suffering up to the Russian revolution of 1917, then to the present time. He recounted the many limitations placed in our patria and brought us toward a final assurance that "we are the masters of our fates and the captains of our souls." Mr. E. Thorpe gave a reddening taken from a current issue of a local publication re "The Clash of Color in South Africa." A delightful, educational and inspiring afternoon was enjoyed by m. on November 28 and 29. The speaker has been accredited for the occasion. The rhythmic soldier, "Onward Christian Soldiers," which injects an invisible motive force impelling action, was sung by the members, after which the meeting came to a close.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.
The New Haven Division of the V. N. I. A. held a delightful and interesting meeting at the Masonic Hall, 75 Webster Street, Sunday, November 13 at 3:45 p.m.
The division was honored with the presence of one of Africa's native sons in the person of the Right Rev. D. M. Alexander, D. D. Archbishop and Primate, African Orthodox Church, Province of South Africa.
The meeting was conducted by the first vice-president, Mr. Rufus A Rawlins, in the absence of J. Joseph Ward, the president of Greenhut's Mountain, and the organization's official prayer was said. After the welcome address by the acting president the front page of The Negro World was read by the general secretary, Mr. Charles H. Mills, at the celebration of the reading it was highly applauded by the audience.
Program as arranged: Hymn, "Shine On, Eternal Light," short address by the ex-president, Mr Wm Hester, basing his discourse on "The Little Work Done by the Missionaries.," president-general's hymn sung, "Father of All Creation"; short address by the general secretary, Mr. Chas, M. Hills, basing his subject on the greatness of white men of the various countries and comparing them with the few great men of our race; recitation by Miss Elysia Ward, daughter of the president, who recited and sang the National Anthom of Ethiopia; Miss Helen Clark, daughter of the indy president, M. Maume Clark, recited, basher her discourse chief, on Africa. At this juncture the Bishop was introduced and the audience stood up in token of our appreciation of the coming of our brother. The most reverend gentleman stated that he was glad to be in our presence and that his mission was clearly to the church of his denomination of this city, but being a race man he was compelled to visit the U. N. I. A. meeting. The most reverend gentleman congratulated us in our efforts in trying to assail Mother Africa, but shows us some of our shortcomings. He then made an appeal for help in designing a printing press, which he hopes to take back with him or come after him, so that the good work being done throughout the world will be better known throughout Africa. The collection was lifted. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of our National Anthem, and glammed with the benediction. CHARLES H MILLS.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1927
NEWARK, N. J.
Sunday, October 20, was a red letter day in Newark, N.J. It was on the occasion of our dedicating Liberty Hall to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Long before 11 a.m., the hall was crowded with visitors from nearby divisions, including Brooklyn, New York, etc. The morning service began at 11 a.m. promptly. Miss Grace Amos, our pianist, played the processional hymn, "He Leadeth Me, He Leadeth Me." The Newark Division Choir followed to the strain, after which the ritualistic ceremonies were conducted by our president. The sermon was preached by Roy, A.C. Barber of the Triumph, the Church of the New Age. It was very impressive, hardly hard to hear, but the impact of the incarceration of the leader, Hon. Marcus Gatway. He gave a wonderful thought to the membership to keep in view as he spoke on the subject, "She build the wall because they had a mind to work."
At 3 D. m. the Universal Royal Guards guarded a wonderful demonstration on the sidewalk which caused many thousands of Negroes to wonder at our great organization. The U. N. I. A. Band, consisting of 30 pieces, made a wonderful impression, under the leadership of Bandmaster O'Laughlin. It was a treat to the outside public when the African Royal Guards encountered a demonstration, under the leadership of Col. Wattley of New York City. At 3 45 our afternoon meeting started. The uniform ranks were in good trim. This meeting was for the purpose of our dedication. Our worthy President, Mr. Charles L. James, presided. Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, was the principal speaker. A splendid musical program was rendered by the New York and 'Newark choirs. Mrs. Harriet M. Roy, Newark choir, and Mrs. Whitney of Newark's division choir, received much applause. The musical program ended with a band selection.
The chairman made the opening address, which was enjoyed by all. He then introduced the Hon. E. B. Knox, who kept the audience spellbound for fully twenty-five minutes. Our hearts burned within us while he opened to us the possibility of Africa's redemption and assured us that he would at all times uphold the hands of our leader. The meeting was then brought to a close with the singing of the Ethidian Anthem.
At 8 p. m. our meeting was brought to order by our President. He then called, for the selections that were omitted in the afternoon, because of lack of time in the afternoon. Meeting continued with an opening address by the President, Hon. Charles L. James, who has just been recently appointed as Commissioner for the State of New Jersey. A special appeal was made for a donation to the Negro World. An address was made by Rev Butler, our also chaplain. After which the President announced his regret that he would have to leave the Newark Division on vacation in university in elasmut, Va., and the Hon. Marcus Garvoy, Newark Division is traveling by leaps and bounds since the appointment of Mr. James as president, and we hope to tear the crown from the other larger divisions in the near future. The meeting was brought to a close by the singing of "God Bless Our President."
NUEVITAS, CUBA

MONTREAL, CANADA.
November 6 was Thanksgiving Sunday and the members and friends of the Montreal Division turned out in full force to give thanks to Almighty God and to renew the spirit and inspiration of Garveyism.
The president, Mr. Potter, occupied the chair and presided over an interesting program which had been arranged by Lady-Vice President Mrs. Folkes. The principal address was given by Mrs. Folkes. Taking as her subject "Elevation," she urged the women to seek those things which tend to elevate, uplift and prepare one for success. The manner was scholarly and well prepared and rendered with that earnestness and enthusiasm that characterize all, of Mrs. Folkes' work.
Mr. William H. Trott, who has been appointed by the president as chairman of the Agrent Body Defense Committee, spoke briefly on the "Spirit of Adventure and the Element of Sacrifice" that must continue to prevail in the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association if we are to survive the critical days. The literary and musical program, which was chiefly rendered by the children, was as follows: Reading The Negro World, Trustee James; piano solo, Master Clinton Weakes; recitation, Miss Baird Parris; vocal duet, Mrs. Folkes and Mrs. Dyall; piano solo, little Miss Parris; vocal trio, Cottingham sisters; recitation, Carolyn Wade; violin and saxophone duet, little Scaley brothers; piano solo, Julie-Clark; dialogue, Harold Wade and Julie Clark; piano solo, Harold and Donald Potter.
On Sunday, November 13, Trustee Tucker was in charge and presented a program of unusual merit. Mrs. Florence Marshall, the nightingale of the Montreal Division, sang in her charming manner. Ex-President Mr. Sealay played a pleasing solo solo accompanied by Mrs. Sealy. Miss Vivian Lane recited an inspiring poem. Mrs. Henry Marshall played two classical violin numbers, accompanied by her pupil, Master Clinton Weekes, at the piano. Mrs. Gladys Antwood played in her incomparable style. The president, Mr. Alfred Potter, gave the principal address, outlining the alma and objects of the U. N. L. A. and asking the support of all individuals and organizations, especially the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Employees (Porters' Union), who were the guests of the Division.
Mr. George Williams responded, bringing greetings from the C. B. R. E. and apologizing for their small representation, explaining that our vocation had arrived 'too late to be fully circulated. Himself and charter members of the U. N. I. A., Mr. Williams stated, that the majority of the brotherhood were favorable to our program and willing to co-operate. Mr. William Tritt spoke briefly on "Armenite Day," reminding the members that it was the native African troops, the Negro West Indian regiments and the "black soldiers that fought for Uman S汗," that proved the 'declive factors in the Great War.' We won the war, but we lost the page because we had no spokesman or recognized organization to champion our cause at Versailles. Garves and the U. N. I. A. are now determined to prevent the useless sacrifice of Negro lives. We must rally to the defense of Marcus Garvay, rally to the support of the parent body and to its organ. The Negro World, if the injustices and crimes of the Great War are not to be repeated.
The following are on the sick list:
Mr. Hall of St. Margaret street;

The refrictious service was conducted by the acting president, who acted also as chancellor. He took the lesson lesson, "Luke, chapter 60, verse 14: This is the Heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours."

The literary-part of the program was opened with an-anthem by the choir, under the capable management of our ever energetic choirmaster, Mr. Shackleford. Next was the opening remarks of the acting president, who welcomed all to our temporary Liberty Hall, assuring them that, by our united efforts, the association was bound to live in Colon, in spite of the destructive elements which surrounds the movement on every hand.

At this stage, the speaker of the evening, the commissioner, the Hon. S. J. E. St. Rose, entered and was fittingly introduced by the acting president. The commissioner rose amid the applause of the audience. He dwelt at length on the regrettable state of affairs existing through the greed, graft and ignorance of certain individuals whose sole purpose was to cater to their own personal needs. He was listened to with rapt attention. The next on the program was a recitation entitled "Come and Join," by Master G. Mason, one of our juveniles. At this stage the offering was taken up.

Joseph entitled "How Sad"; recitation by Miss L. Yearwood secretary, Mr. Richard B. Bruce, which was loudly applauded; recitation by Miss G. Hinkson, entitled "Stealing Rights".

He also thanked Mr. J. Henry, who kindly loaned his organ to enliven the occasion; all he also thanked those friends and well-wishers who, notwithstanding attractions, found it possible to attend this our Garvey Day.

Women, Weak, Tired
CAMAGUEY, CUBA
A very fine spirit of loyalty and determination is being manifested by this division. Members of both sexes are working hard to place it permanently in a position in which all divisions should be in any community—a center of activity from which radiate forces binding and welding their people into one common mass for good.
Garvey Day, November 6, was observed with affinity with "Women's Day." Excessive rails washed out the previous date and caused the clash with the Garvey Day services. Touching dresses by Mrs. Smith, chapelhead, A. E. Moyne, president, made their obvious impressions on the audience, and such eloquent appeals to heaven on behalf of our imprisoned leader were characteristic of the whole service.
Subsequently, the meeting was turned over to the lady president, Mrs. Sarah Walcott. She gyeed a very illuminating address on the part our women would play in the life of the U. N. L. A. The program consisted of appropriate addresses by prominent women of the division and of the fraternal societies. Their depth of thought and fine delivery must have required considerable preparation. These were interspersed by some musical selections, vocal and instrumental, all of which were executed with marked musical ability.
The following persons contributed to the program: Miss A. Rose, Miss R. White, Mrs. Harrison, Miss I. Haughey, Miss A. Robinson, Mrs. A. Robinson and Mrs. Allen, who were conspicuous by the forceful nature of their appeal, and who marred the response they receive from the audience. A fine selection on the piano by Mrs. E. Brissett, a celebrated pianist, was worthy of the applause she received.
The president, Mr. A. E. Monroe, then made a brief address commending the ladies and exhorting them to continue. The meeting was subsequently turned over to the chaplain, Mr. L. Smith, who concluded the service with prayer. The Ethiopian national anthem was very impressive meeting Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. on regular business meeting was held. The resignation of the first vice-president, Mr. S. T. Atkina, was accepted. The seriousness displayed throughout the meeting and the concrete plans launched shows conclusively that Garveyism came from a deep conviction, ever growing in the hearts of Negroes, and that it is a living, gripping force, to come to a material backbone. The Negroes are now in "Washington" shall not remain adamant to our plea in releasing from prison Marcus Garvey, the idol of the Negra race—a friend to the white race.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
Many changes may be made before the reaction is complete. Shull the Negro he used as a decoy? Will he allow himself to be used to camouflage the preservation of white SUPREMACY? China has given her answer; Japan has challenged the theory of racial superiority; the Negro now has no excuse for blundering his decision.
Spirit of Garvey Is in South Africa
To the Editor at the Right
Please allow me to say something in our interesting paper concerning the U. N. I. A. I am a member of the organization who loves it Ivy and right the U. N. I. A. is with me
White supremacy, with all of its attendant inequalities, is a menace to the peace and harmony of all non-white races. When the Negro can divorce his mind from white dependence, he will be better equipped for solving his many problems. The UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION has the only plan for racial solidarity, 4.6., "to establish a universal CONFRATERNITY among the race . . . to WORK FOR BETTER CONDITIONS among Negroes everywhere."
Fellowmen of Africa and the race, the spirit of the Honorable Marcus Garvey, which is telling black men and women to build a home and shelter for themselves in Africa, the land of their fathers, reached us safely and is slowly creeping into the hearts of the thinking class here. In Ireland where I live we are also busy organizing for the redemption of Afrika—our exploited home—the great drawback is lack of education, and the task is very great.
We, therefore, appeal to all Negroes in more enlightened lands to assist in the work of enlightening duly Africa. Even if you don't belong to the organization, you can do something for respect and duty to your motherland, Africa, by throwing in your lot with those who seek to civilize or industrialise it. Let's join hands so that even if we differ in opinions, our ranks will remain undivided for as long as we remain human there. will always be a possibility for us to do what other peoples of the human family have done, otherwise we shall have to change and become animal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. — Colored farmers throughout the country who have had difficulty in financing their operations during the recent years, will be interested in the statement recently made by WgW. Powell, secretary of the American Association of Joint Stock Land Banks, who said: "The federal farm loan system has now been in operation ten years. In this time the banks in the system, numbering 12 federal land banks and 65 joint stock land banks, have made loans to farmers amounting to approximately $2,000,000,000. The United States is the last of the important nations of the world to adopt a system of land credit which provides loans on the long-term amortization plan.
Come, let's follow the leadership that shows the greater light and that shows the firmer purpose, let's join together, stand together, work together, die together. Wake up, Negroes of Africa! Get out of your decaying bunks, lest you fall and hurt yourself. You are in Africa but you have no home in it. Today my sisters came from Spelokenken telling me sad news about their lives there, where men, women and children carry equal burdens, working hard on farms to get bread. The other man does not pity them but becomes

Amortization, as used above, is the term applied to the process of paying off an indebtedness by instalment payments of a fixed amount, which includes interest and a part of the principal throughout a period of years. All loans under the federal farm loan system are made on this plan, and the farmer who borrows may arrange to have his loan run from 5 to 40 years, without renewal charges, and can pay off his debt in annual or semi-annual payments. The money borrowed may be spent to discharge existing indebtedness, for the purchase of land and live stock, or for any kind of productive improvements, for fertilizer, for construction, and for farm equipment.

Race Solidarity Is
To the Editor of The Negro World:
Much discussion is heard at this time about the benefits to be derived by the Negro peoples from the "solidarity" of the workers. While it is very true that a vast amount of the labor of the world is produced from the ranks of the Negro workers, it is too much to assume that the mere co-operation with other workers will solve our problems in general.
Racial prejudice is a trait taught to the very children of the rich and poor whites, respectively. Now that the white workers are beginning to realize the oppression of the capitalist system, commonly known as master and slave for boss and servant, they are willing to recognize the Negro worker for economic reasons only. But does this attitude mean that they (the white workers) are willing to accord the Negro all social privileges that they themselves enjoy? Furthermore, does this spontaneous interest mean that we will be accorded full political recognition to hold positions in their governments and make laws the same

"100 WAYS
TO GET RICH"
Mr. Kirnon Lectures On Slavery Abolition In the West Indies
An attentive audience listened to Mr. Hodge Kirton in a lecture of "The Causes of the Abolition of Slavery in the British West Indies" on Sunday at 207 West 327th street. The lecturer held the interest of this audience from the beginning of his talk, commencing with the introduction of sugar to Europeans by the Crusaders and British colonization of the West Indies during the seventeenth century, in which were laid the foundations of England's commercial supremacy.
The breaking up of the slave trade, the lecturer explained as being due partly to the humanitarian efforts of Wilberforce and his followers and the sudden decline of the sugar industry. As to the cause of the abolition of slavery in the islands the speaker explained at length and, in detail that while the issue was fought apparently on moral principles, in reality the determining factor was an economic one—the conflict between the capital invested by East India sugar interests and its triumph over the West Indian product. It was, Mr. Kirnson and, a clash and victory for East India interests with cheap labor at its command and West Indian interests with slave labor, which was more expensive.
The prosperity of the West Indies, built on slave labor, gruntfully totered and its ruin was made complete by the Abolitionists and their supporters.
$7,000 Found in amsterdam Big Mystery to Police
AMSTERDAM.-The Amsterdam police force is dealing with one of the most mysterious cases in its history. A month ago a citizen, walking in one of the parks of the metropolis, hit his foot against a portfolio containing a large number of banknotes to a total value of $7,000. He took his find to the police, who have inquired into the matter without any result. Nobody had informed the police of the loss of the money and not a single trace of larceny has been discovered.
As the banknotes are genuine, there is no question of a crime being involved. Could it be possible that the owner of the money is such a wealthy man that he has not noticed that he has lost $7,000?
Are you suffering from the misery of a lame, aching back? You can get almost instant relief by putting on a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster. It warms, soothes, and supports the weak back, and gently massages the tissues with every movement of the body, thus helping to restore proper circulation and normal strength. Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster brings amazingly quick results because the medication penetrates straight through the skin to the affected parts—pain goes, soreness leaves, power returns, almost immediately. And you get fasting relief, too, for the medication is continually absorbed as long as the plaster remains on the body. Try a Red Cross Kidney Plaster tonight and prove how quickly it drives away the misery of a weak back.
Just go to any drug store and ask for Johnson's, the big Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back.

Jews, Ask Eightseeing Ban at Wailing Place
JERUSALEM. — A petition to the High Commissioner of Palestine by Jewish worshipers at the western, wall of the Temple, known as the Walling Wall, asked that the generally accepted rules in regard to sightseeing at the holy places in Jerusalem also be enforced at the Wall.
The Jewish worshipers requested that the Jerusalem policies be directed to prevent sightseers from visiting the Wall during the hours of prayer on Friday night night and Saturday. The petition says that many of the spectators, who often come in large numbers, display an irreverent attitude which is offensive to the worshipers. The holy places of worship of other creeds are not open for sightseeing during prayer.
