The Negro World

To the Editor of The Negro World: The Universal Negro Improvement Association from now on will assume a very distinct international role. The demonstration made by the faithful members of the organization on Mr. Garvey's deportation is an indicator of this viewpoint. Our leader and chairman, here, there, or anywhere; we accept no other, and we will acknowledge no other. --- To the selfish and narrow-minded, he is merely a "British subject," but such persons have failed to get the true comprehension of Mr. Garvey's ideas. They are to be pitted rather than ensured. But we are now facing a crisis that has no place for pity of this nature. We must either go forward or submit to the inevitable destruction in now planned by our enemies. She awakened Negro refuses to accept such a dismal and hopeless fate, so he has aligned himself under the banner of the Red, Black and Green to blaze a path to nationhood. Any skeptical person who doubts the feasibility of African redemption for the Africans and those of African descent, need only to peruse the magazines and daily newspapers for the facts. Africa is bestirring herself in no unmistakable manner, and the dominant whites are becoming extremely nervous and excited. Why? All robbers become uneasy when the robbed become aware of their trick. And when preparations are vividly evident of the determination of the robbed to recover their property, this resiliness is self explanatory. In the past the whites have been successful in fooling the natives and other Negro peoples. MARCUS GARVEY HAS EXPOSED THEIR HAND! And when we consider the significance of AFRICA'S AWAKENING, in comparison with Asia's revolution, or even India's unrest, we can safely and frankly state that in the future game of international affairs, from all present indications—THE BLACKS ARE TO MOVE AND WIN!! ARTHUR S. GRAY. Oakland, Cal. Negro Sudly in Need Of a National Home To the Editor of The Negro World: Allow me space in your valuable Negro World to say a word to the whites and black-white Negroes who chose to debase themselves so the lowest strata of humanity by ridiculing and criticising our honest, fearless, matchless and indomitable leader, Marcus Garvey. We, the new Negroes, have acclaimed him the first Providential President of Africa, and so it will be to the end of time. Now, we are watching with a keen eye those that claim they have so much more love and are so much more interested in the mass of Negroes than Marcus Garvey. It is indeed shocking to see how some of our intellectual Ne- THE ADVERTISER OF THE NEGRO W Extends Xmas and N to All Its Advertisers Hoping that the Year 1922 One for Yours since HAROLL TO BEHILTH, 'TOO WAYS TO GET BREAKS,' WITH THE WORDS OF THE LORD. goes his themselves, or permit themselves to be fooled, by also propagate. One writer in a recent release stated that "The thought of conquering Africa is childish and the attempt to operate steamships as sensations as trying to cook an egg without fire." Well, personally, I think such utterances are prophesied and such men are simply admitting their own inferiority, when considering historical events. Alexander, we read, wept when there were no more worlds to conquer. Napoleon came nearly to the same point. There was a time when no such thing as a steamship existed, but today what do we see? Continents have been discovered and developed. Millions of ships plough the seven seas. How about that, Mr. Critic? Then, you, too, Mr. Twentieth Century Negro, must make your like contribution if you are men in the true sense of the word. And right there is where Marcus Garvey comes in as the boss pioneer and trail blazer of Negro genius. I am bold enough to admit that if there is a race on this planet that needs a country of its own and needs it badly, too, (As the Negro race. And as for ships, it is hard to explain how much we are in need of them, because after all we are not all of us such good swimmers. If we, as Negroes, could only follow Marcus Garvey not very far down the years, it won't be long before we'd realize he is not the idle dreamer that some folks are endeavoring to make believe he is; but to the contrary a bold optimist and the creative genius of African nationalism. In conclusion I ask these faithless Negroes who think that the redemption of Africa is an impossibility not to oppose us. Just give us a chance. And those selfish whites who try to hold us up to ridicule and poke fun at us today some day may repent. L. M. JACKSON. Brooklyn, N. Y. Colored Coal Miners Colored coal miners are being held under conditions amounting to poisoning in the western Pennsylvania coal regions, according to reports received by the American Civil Liberties Union from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. These workers, it is charged, are deceived into accept employment in the mines where strata are in force and are the taught in the modes of the company store credit system. The report state that these men are herded into "bull-benn," where they are in many cases effectively deprived of all personal liberties except the right to run up accounts at the company stores. A high official of the United Mine Workers of America has written to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: "The conditions at these places are unbearable. In fact, they are beyond any description I could give you and must be seen to be appreciated." THE ING DEPT.

"100 WAYS TO GET RICH" Birmingham crises has been reduced twenty-five percent in New York City in the last year, Police Commissioner Joseph A. Warren told members of the Women's City Club at their clubhouse, 22 Park avenue, last night. The decrease in major crimes since 1925 has been sixty percent, he said. This he attributed to the splendid work of the police force, who were making New York "the safest city in the world." It was unfortunate, he said, that the public heard about the Beckers and Grahams, instead of about the faithful efficient work of the ninety-five percent of the men. The Commissioner declined to answer questions from the floor, and turned the proceedings over to Deputy Commissioner Phillip D. Hoyt. There are more automobiles in New York City than in any country of Europe save England, Commissioner Hoyt said, and three times as many as there are in all Germany. In 1917, he asserted, there were 100,000 cars in the city; today there are 700,000. Boon there will be 2,200 electric traffic light signals in the city and an additional force of 700 men, the Commissioner said, most of them assigned to traffic duty. The next street on which traffic lights will be installed is Lexington avenue. He submitted to many questions about left-hand turns, Jay-walking and so forth. Mrs. H. Edward Dreier, president of the club, presided. Girls 5,400 Years Ago Wore Gold Hair Nets PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16. — Women of Mesopotamia 5,400 years ago wore gold hair nets and changed their coifures to keep abreast of the times. C. Leonard Woolley, head of the joint expedition to Ur of the Chaldees of the British Museum and the University of Pennsylvania Museum, said in a report made public tonight. Mr. Woolley characterized these and other discoveries, including the grave of a royal prince who lived centuries before the first dynasty of the Kings of Ur, as the most important the soil of ancient Sumer has yielded to archaeology. A gold "wig" worn by Prince Meskalam-Dug in 2500 B. C. was pronounced the only discovery of its kind in all Mesopotamia. The report of the joint ex-edition, which has been working six years, stated that the women's headaddress were found in a cemetery. In one period hair nets of gold ribbons, interwoven with beads of carnelian and lapis lazuli, were worn.

Shanghai Has Its First Strike of Teachers SHANGHAI—When a group of local teachers refused to attend their classes the other day unless promised higher salaries, they were participating in the first strike of the sort in the history of Shanghai's turbulent labor circles. Forty teachers stayed away from school and left 10,000 Chinese students without instruction for one day. The instructors were back at their desks the following day after word was received from the local Chinese Government authorities that their appeals would be considered. In Pekin strikes among teachers and college professors are common owing to the precarious state of the treasury, which rarely enables teachers to be up to date with their salaries.

El temor del enemigo a la instrucción de nuestro líder ante las masas. Al correr las puertas de unn bohio se abren las de un nuevo. A los miércoles de la organización y de la raza en general: Mentivo de nuevo feliz porque puedo seguir sirviendo en la grim causa de la redención africana. El "acto subito" de secuimos de los Estados Unidos, no ha sido sino uno de aquellas incidentes ordinarios, que siguen a las ideas grandes que no levantan con todos los movimientos progresistas. Entoy convencido del miedo y debilidad del enemigo al no permitirme aparecer ante las masas de mi pueblo, desgraza de mi salida de la prisión. Temieron de que yo le hablara a la cerdadera conciencia norteamericana. Mas estima inusitos no piensan que cerrándoseme aquella puerta, so bien abierto los portales del mundo a mi pensar, decir y obrar en favor de mi idea. No de presentar vuestra causa al consejo de justicia internacional y estoy seguro de que tanto vosotros como el que en habla, nos regocijaremos del resultado que obtengan. Dedicaró cada instante de mi vida a la gran causa de vuestra liberación universal. No es el gran pueblo norteamericano el que me ha administrado allí, sino un grupo reducido de políticos, de industriales imperialistas, quienes pretenden burlarse de los masses en toda ocasion. Amo a eze pueblo como amo a toda la humanidad. Contribuiré a la salvación no solamente de ese país sino del mundo entero, mediante una solución pacifica del árduo problema racial; pero ante todo, Africa deberá ser redimida para los negros. En lo que a los asuntos a tratar en la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra en los Estados Unidos, os pido vuestra cooperación con el Hon. E. B.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 2017 Alrededor del Capitolio del estatio de Okalihoma se ha visto en los dos ultimos días despliegue de soldados y emplazamiento de ametralladoras, de orden del gobernador de esa entidad federal, Mr. Henry S. Johnston. Fue esta la réplica del gobernador a la decision de las camaras legislativas del estado de reunirse para formular cargos contra el funcionario, en concepto de que este habia distraído les fondos del estado para el pago de funcionarios extras o ilegales. Con anterioridad, el gobernador habia obtenido que la corte decretara la prohibición a las camaras de formular cargos contra la primera autoridad ejecutiva del estado. ; Podia reunirse la legislatura en sesión extraordinaria para el efecto indicado sin ser convocada por el gobernador? ; Podia el gobernador impedir la reunión de las cámaras haciendo uso de la fuerza? La contestación categorica a cualquiera de estas preguntas diria cual da los dos cuerpos es el sublevado. La primera pregunta es materia de discusión sobre la cual no se ha dicho palabra definitiva por las autoridades competentes, aunque pareciera que en el curso ordinario de la administración pública tal requisito sea necesario. La segunda pregunta es más fácil de contestar, pues toda usurpación de atribuciones, en el caso de que la hubiera de parte de las cámaras, según principio constitucional admitido, es nula y carece de eficacia, siendo las tropas innecesarias. Las cámaras, por lo demás, podian haberse reunido en cualquier parte sin ser molestadas y todo lo que habia que averiguar entonces era la validez de sus deliberaciones. En efecto se reunieron, formulando la camara de representantes varias acusaciones, entre ellas la de usurpación de atribuciones civiles de parte de las autoridades militares. Los cargos en referencia, que fueron varios, pasaron al senado, que es el cuerpo encargado de substanciar el asunto. L camara, también, hizo cargos al juez que le prohibió enjuiciamiento del gobernador, acusandolo de haber sido corrompido. Indudablemente que el despliegue de las tropas era innecasario y si el gobernador, en vez de cercar con bayonetas el Capitolio y prohibir la entrada a los representantes del pueblo les hubiera dejado paso franco, la situación habria quedado planteada en el terreno del derecho. La situación continua siendo de hechos, con despliegue de tropas y todo, con reunión de camaras y lo demás. Y la unica conclusión que se mipone por el momento es que uno de los dos cuerpos está sublevado, si es que no lo están ambos. —La Prensa, N.Y. En pro del azucar Las gestiones del coronel Tarafa, llevadas a cabo para llegar a un acuerdo mundial sobre la producción azucarera, han puesto ya bajo el control de la organización a cuatro quintas partes de Europa. La estancia alli del coronel Tarafa esta tocando a su fin con las conferencias que en estos días celebra con commerciantes de Inglaterra en relación con su proyecto. El ha Manifestado, refiriendose a sus planes, que no piensa consolidar acuerdos azucareros con los intereses ingleses, franceses y americanos, porque estos países no figuran con exportadores. No obstante, cofereciaría con los agentes vendedores de Nueva York. Tambien he declarado que en enero próximo será constituido un comité internacional, integrado por dos representantes de cada nación exportadora, cuya misión fundamental será la de fijar a cada país la cifra de suministro en relación a la demanda de los mercados mundiales. Aadió también que todas estas medidas no tienden a elevar los precios, sino a estabilar el mercado. El prominente representante cubano ha firmado un acuerdo por cinco años con Santo Domingo e invitará al Perti a completar la alianza mundial.

La goma en Africa Deade hace algún tiempo se agita la idea de aprovechar el Marruecos capafal y las colonias de Rio de Oro y Muni para el cultivo y aprovecha-miento del arbol de la goma. Aquel gabinarno ha estufado ya caidendo-somente el asunto, tratado en la actitudidad de enviar técnicas que investigan las regiones capafalas en la cuesta africana donde existen el concho. en abundancia y donde podria interlinearizar el cultivo y la producción, Maganda Kapala a ser un piso productor de guna y de sus productos derivados en gran escala. Las manifestaciones hechas por el presidente general de esta organización a su arribo a Kingston, Jamaica, demuestran claramente el sentire de un hombre que ha pasado casi tres años en una prisión, y sale de ella para respirar de nuevo y aire puro de libertad. Ella es sin duda la benedicción mas suprema otorgada a la humanidad. El célebre prisionero de Chillón ha debido sentir de ese modo, apesar de que Lord Byron declarara que altas nutallas no constituian una prisión ni tampoco pesadas rejas de hierro constituian una jaula. El heroe de la revolución haitiana en una masmora en Francia, donde la traición napoleonica representa su mejor papel, no era el mismo hombre que condujo sus huestes a la victoria, porque se le privó de su libertad; ni tampoco lo fue el mismo Napoleón en su destierro en Santa Eleha, muriendo paulatinamente y con si vista en dirección a Francia. El tono en que el Hon. Marcus Garvey se expresa, revela el que su nueva libertad le ha proporcionado una nueva vida. Ello no es el pensar y sentir de aquel que se cree perdido; es la expresión del hombre que se siente libre y sabrá hacer uso de esa libertad, en beneficio de su tan abejada raza. Nuestro gran lider declara que la verdadera lucha en pro de la emancipación de un pueblo y la redención de una patria empieza, teniendo el convencimiento de que los miembros de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, han de mantenerse firmes en el patrocinio de su apta direction. Sobre el exceso de población El gobierno canadiense ha aprobado el proyecto de estudiar las condiciones en cinco paises que se consileran especialmente adaptados para la colonización, absorbiendo excesos de población en los paises que cuentan ya con un número excesivo de habitantes por dilómetro cuadrado. Su estudio, el cual es patrocinado por el Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones de los Estados Unidos seria conducido con las mires puestas en determinar la capacidad del Canada, Siberia, Australia, Sud Africa y Sud América para asimilar le emigración de otros paises y aumentar la producción de materias alimenticias. El objeto de conducir este estudio sobre la capacidad asimiladora y productora de estos cinco territories enumerados es el de estar en preparación para cpando los Estados Unidos necesiten importar grandes cantidades de productos alimenticios y para cuando el exceso de su población desee emigrar a otros países. El premier canadiense en una conferencia celebrada con miembros de su gabinete y representantes de la universidad de Saskatchewan y de la Queen's University, prometió la asistencia del Canada en el proyecto estudio. Se tiene entendido que varias universidades han decidido participar en los estudios, prestando su cooperación al Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones de este país. La bienvenida a nuestro lider La ovación y bienvenida hecha al Hon. Marcus Garvey a su llegada a Kingston, Jamaica, el sábado 10 de diciembre, supera a todos cuntos los mas antiguos habitantes de aquella ciudad puedan recordar. Tan pronto puso pie en tierra fue erstuendosamente aclamado por millares de jamaiquinos, quienes horas antes de la llegada del vapor se habian conglomerado desplegando sus mejores galas, para hacer honor el famoso lider. Las divisions de la organización estaban conspicuamente representadas en la manifestación de bienvenida. Una gran parada precedida por la representación de las divisions y una banda, le acompañó hasta su residencia temporal. En la noche del domingo 11, se celebra un mass meeting en su honor en el tatro Ward, donde se prohibió entrada a centenares de personas, luego de haberse llenado el amplio auditorium a toda capacidad. Reportes de la ciudad de Colon, Panamá, donde el gran lidar paró en su viaje hacia Jamaica, manifestan que mas de cincuenta mil personas se habían reunido en los alrededores del malla para aclamarla. Las autoridades de la Zona del Camal prohibieron la entrada al malla y solamente una comisión compuesta de seis personas, sus admitidas para calcular al patrierca de una gran malla. SUBJUGATION OF ZULUS BY ENGLISH WAS A LONG AND DIFFICULT TASK (From the New York Times) An article appeared in the Times of December 11 in which I noted the subtitle, "On December 16. Dutch South Africa Celebrates the Great Victory That Broke the Power of the Zulu Army." Evidently the writer of the article has forgotten the trouble that the English had with the Zulus and the bloody shambles at Lendlewana and Rorke's Drift, which was fought on January 22-25, 1879. In order to appreciate the power that the Zulu wielded in their time it is necessary to give a brief review of the succession of chieftains that held away over them. Early in the nineteenth century a leader arose among the Amazuliz, a branch of the Bantus, whose name was Dingisawayo. He became the leader of a very troublesome and aggressive tribe. Their name was the Zulu tribe. In time they expanded and when the son of Dingisawayo, Chaka, succeeded to power, the real martial history of the tribe be- The 'Assegai Was Chaka's Chaka disciplined the Zulus and even regulated the type of headaddress they should wear. He instituted the systematic use of the assegual (short stabbing spear) and the oxskin shield. He evolved a peculiar set of tactics which made the Zulus practically invincible in a pitched battle and extended the fealty of the surrounding tribes. Before Chaka died he controlled territory that occupied almost all of Southwest Africa. In Chaka's drive for power it is estimated that 2,000,000 lives were sacrificed. Chaka fell under the assegals of his enemies in 1828. As long as Chaka lived he was feared and hated, and was finally done to death by treachery, it is supposed, and war succeeded by Dingaan, one of the royal princes. Dingaan is noted for acts of ferocity that even Chaka would not have stooped to commit. Chaka slew his millions in battle—Dingaan killed his thousands by treachery. It was in Dingaan's reign that the Boers suffered the greatest massacre. Peter Retelf, the head of the period, led a motley army of colonists and dunky allies against the impis of Dingaan at Blood River and defeated the Zulu chieftain's army with heavy slaughter on December 16, 1833. The article in the Times says that the backbone of the Zulu Army was broken. This does not seem logical, as the Zulus were still a very real menace to the English interests and necessitated the keeping of four or five English regiments on the frontiers. Dingaan was succeeded by Panda, a peaceful chieftain, and during his reign the English and Boers took advantage of the tranquility of the situation to resume colonization and pressed further into the interior. When Panda died Cetwyayo succeeded him and straightway resolved to put a stop to the incursions, if he could, with his resolute and bloodthirsty impulse. His intentions were so warlike that Lord Shepstone, the English leader, declared war on him in 1879. English Cut to Pieces The first operations in this short but bloody war were disastrous to the English. At Isandlewana, or "The Place of the Little Hand," two regiments under Colonels Durnford and Dartnell were surrounded and cut to pieces. The savage hordes, sweeping down upon the British squares, liter- mas que la persecusión del Hon. Marcus Garvey en este país, ha ganado soporte a la causa que el patrocina, dada la recepcion de que fue objeto en su peregrinación de Atlanta, Georgia, a Kingstno, Jamaica. ally here the English under by sheer weight of numbers. A miscellaneous remnant occupied to a place called Rorke's Drift and there entrenched behind biscuit boxes and stone and mud embankments. Here the Zulu, enforcing for the first time trench warfare, were beaten back and were unable to force the defense. They left thousands of dead upon the field, but were unable to make any further effort that day. They finally agreed to peace but were still able to make trouble, and once again the English were compelled to set in motion the army. At Ulundi, July 4, 1879, Cetawayo's impels were again caught in the away of battle, and this time the British squares prevailed and the Zulu power was broken forever. It was broken at Ulundi, not at Blood River. The successor of Cetywayo, one Dinizulu, was the minion of the powers that allowed him to succeed, but he was unable to restrain the spirit in the shattered impis and again a war broke out, but was so short that the outlying colonists did not have to move into the more protected areas. The rebellion was crushed with heavy loss to the Zulua and Dinizulu was thrown into prison as a warning. General Botha finally let him out in 1910, an old, broken man, and the drama came to an end. The Zulua, as a warlike and fierce people, faded from history's pages after the carnage at Ulundi. DALTON COLLINS. Hartford, Conn., Dec. 13, 1837. When President Lincoln When President Lincoln sat on the floor of the kitchen of the old Campbell Hospital in Washington, D. C., with a plateful of strawberry shortcake on his lap and his long legs stretched out in front of him, he created an unforgettable impression on the mind of Helen B. Cole, Wisconsin's only living Civil War nurse, who is soon to celebrate her eighty-ninth birthday. The Civil War President was to Mrs. Cole, who saw him day after day walking between the cots of the wounded and dying in Campbell Hospital, a pleasant memory, and an ideal. Mrs. F. M. Stanton, wife of the Secretary of War, had given eight bushels of strawberries to the hospital, and Mrs. Cole, the head dietitian, had supervised the baking of a mammoth strawberry shortcake. As the soldiers were lounging around the kitchen President Lincoln and his Cabinet entered the room. There were few chairs and the dining room was filled. When Mrs. Cole brought the President a large piece of the cake he graciously took it, walked to the corner of the room and sat down on the floor. The Cabinet members all followed his example—Milwaukee Journal.

OR OF THE HEUMATI M GREAT THRONG IN LIBERTY HALL HEARS NATIONAL LEADER DESCANT ON THE OLD NEGRO AND THE NEW The New Negro, Says Mr. Knox, Is Glad He Is Black, Even as White Men Thank God for Being White—Realizes He Will Be Regarded with Respect Only When He Reprovents Power GARVEY GAVE THE NEGRO RACE ITS BAPTISM The New Negro, Strong in the Knowledge of His God, Given Powers, Is Confident of the Successful Culmination of the Program for a Free and Redeemed Africa; Wants a Government of His Own LIBERTY HALL., NEW YORK, Sunday Night, Dec. 18. Thousands of New Negroes sat here tonight, on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting of the New York Local, listened to the Hon. E. B. Knox deliver a thoughtful and engaging address on "The New made in believing that the powerful white governments of the world were concerned about improving the lot and welfare of Negroes in their midst and declared that only when the Negro became a powerful entity in the body politic of the world would he receive from his scheming and grudging enemy of today the respect and consideration which were his due. Hon. J. H. Miller, vice-president of the New York Local, occupied the chair, conducting the meeting in his usual capable and easy manner, while Hon. Madame M. L. T. De Mena, Assistant International Organizer, back from an afternoon visit to the Brooklyn stronghold, enthused with an encouraging address. The proceedings were interspersed with musical contributions by the Universal Band, the Choir and various artists, including Mr. J. Brown, who has become quite a favorite with Liberty Hall audiences. MON. E. B. KNOX'S ADDRESS Mon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the President-Ortustat, spoke as follows: "I have chosen to speak on the subject of 'The New Negro,' a subject that is commonly spoken of in the circles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but even though it has often been spoken of there is much yet to be said. "I want to emphasize the significance of Garveyism in the world in general, the part it is playing in the Negro race in general and the special effect it has on a certain part of the Negro race. And it is this certain part upon which it has had direct and immediate effect that we call The New Negro." The New Uprising "Since the World War a great wave of nationalism has swept the entire world with a force more terrible than the world ever witnessed before. People who had resigned themselves to the oppressive program of the more powerful element of the earth's population are tonight rising up in their power, rising up in unity, rising up at the behest of programs like that of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, determined that under God and with unity they are going to overcome the oppression that they have suffered so long. The Honorable Marcus Garvey has contributed more and is still contributing more to keep the wave of nationalism alive, to keep it a burning issue among the peoples of the earth today than any other men, any other agency in the world, and he has already done more in that direction than any other man the world has ever known. The Many Are on the Move The Many Are on the Move "Nationalism is not a new thing, however. Certain groups of the earth's population have been moved by the urge of nationalism from time immemorial. Back in ancient times Egypt was moved by the urge of nationalism and the result of it was the establishment of the great Babylonian empire. In their turn the Persian, the Grecians and the humans were moved by the urge of nationalism and their respective empires founded in power and supremacy. But at the time when they were moved by their great urge of nationalism the balance of the human race who still unrestricted. But it is different today. We have France and Germany preparing in the next that they are Frenchmen or Germans and looking forward to making a way for their posterity. We have great Britain and the United States of America pointing with pride to their power and to the influence that they are able to wield all over the world and rejoicing that the American white man, that the English white man, wields such an influence in the world today. But just as they are contemplating a happy day or a happy future for the posterity of the white man, we also tonight have a new element of the earth's population feeling proud of the fact that they are being moved by the spirit of nationalism and that is, the sons and daughters of Ethiopia. Victims of a Vicious System "The world has become accustomed to regarding the Negro, the entire Negro race, as an unimportant element of human society. That is, they made the Negro that. They have by their vicious times driven the Negro race, and not only just that part of the Negro race that is in the Universal Negro Association. You know a lot of people have called us backward for a long time, and that is ever since the organization has been established; they said that the people who followed the Garvey movement were rather backward, but the white man has had us backward ones and up. forward ones, too, for a long time before the Hom. Marcus Garvey came on the scene, thinking that we were nobody, and we were not trying very hard to be somebody. We were victims of the white man's system of civilization; we were victims of the white man's system of religion; we were victims of the white man's system of diplomacy, and we had just about thoroughly resigned ourselves to being just what the white man intended that we should be—nothing and nobody. And we didn't mean much either for a long time. Defeating the Negro Rose Get this FIRST Book from your dealer or write an direct.

FELSON'S Hair Dressing sape to find that it was already and was not to play a complete part in the affairs of the world. And for a long time the more educated the Negro became, the lesser part he played in the affairs of the world. But Gervasius has produced the New Negro. (Applause.) Yale and Harvard do not produce New Negroes. Some Negroes come out of Yale and Harvard and Columbia older than the oldest Negro, so to speak. "What I mean is, they are more complete victims of the white man's scheme. They have learned well what he has taught them and they are going out into the world preaching it, disseminating that propaganda throughout their race, and they are unconscious victims. But the New Negro is as glad that he is black as the white man is that he is white. (Applause.) We shall never be content until that day comes, when the Negro will have absolute control of his own educa" of his own religion, of his own politics, and, in the final analysis, of his own strong influential government. (Applause.) Old Type of Negro "There was a time when the old type of Negro—and by that I don't mean the earlier people. I am talking about the Negro with old ideals, the Negro that is afflicted with the inferiority complex, the Negro that is still chasing after the coat tails of white people, the Negro that still thinks that nothing is of any worth unless it has the white man's approval, the Negro that thinks he has not gone to a good college unless there are white teachers there, the Negro that still thinks he is going to take the white man's place in this government—the biggest piece of tomfoolery the world has ever known. That is the kind of person I call the old Negro, and it makes no difference whether he is ten years old, he is an old Negro. Gled to be Block "But the New Negro is the Negro that is glad that he is black, and if he is 60 or 100 years old, if he knows that and feels that, he is a New Negro. And you didn't have that until Garvey came on the scene. And do you know why you didn't have that? The Negro has for many years felt that his church or his lodge, or some other social organization was about the most important thing in human society. He would spend more time getting ready to get into a parade, getting his hat shinned and his uniform pressed—he lost more time thinking about that than he would spend thinking about a lynching down in Georgia. He would give more time to thinking about which one of his religions was right—Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian or Christian Scientist—than to the general welfare of his race. That is the old type of Negro doing like that. The only thing he is looking forward to in 1928 is how big a parade he is going to have. But the New Negro looks at things a little differently. The Greatest Institution "We heard the church is important, has played and still plays a conspicuous part in the affairs of men and in the affairs of the world. We know that fraternal orders have gone a long way in creating the proper moral conduct in the human race; but we also know that in this day and time the most important institution in the world, the most influential institution in the world is a government. The New Negro knows that. And while we believe in religion, our strongest belief is pent up in the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. We are looking forward to that day when 400,000,000 Negroes, lined up behind the greatest garden the world has ever known, the Men, Mission Carver (the lead applause), standing firm in the execution of the program which he has himself, remaining ever loyal to the tenants of this noble organization yet, we New Negroes are determined that 400,000,000 strong, we are going to build up in Africa the strongest government with an influence so powerful that it will protect a Negro thousands of miles from Africa, just as the influence of the American Government protects the American white man in the land of China, while, if you please, at the same time absolutely ignoring the rights of the American Negro right here on its own soil. Mighty influence of Economic Streams "The New Negro sees these things We can see the possibility of the successful culmination of this, great program. Call us backward, if you want to; go more and more to, think all of the time about, your churches if you want to, but here is one thing I am going to tell you: unless something is done to relieve this situation, the economic situation, the economic stress of the Negro—and it is getting worse and worse as the days pass—unless something is done to relieve it, you are going to find the heads of your churches and your lodges, your bishops and grand emailed rulers looking for something else to do, because the average Negro will be unable even to support his churches and lodges. Understand, I am not anticipating the destruction of the church nor the destruction of your fraternal orders, but I am anticipating the distribution of the foolish conception in the Negro's mind that a church or a fraternal order should come before the idea of a government. Wants More Segregation in Washing- tion "Down there in Washington last week a Southern Congressman produced a bill providing for the extension of segregation in the District of Columbia. Yes, he wants more segregation down there; that is not quite enough. The Congressman, from South Carolina, I think, does not want Negroes riding on the same street care with whites in the District of Columbia. They already have segregation in every thing else in Washington — different places to eat and different places to live, but the Congressman wants a little more of it. Flicking Superaction in Sports WASHINGTON...Henry L. 'nason of New York, former Secretary of War, who, as this government's special commissioner, was instrumental in restoring peace in Nicaragua, has been appointed Governor General of the Philippine Islands by President Coolidge to succeed the late Major General Leonard Wood. Mr. Stimson is entirely familiar with the Philippine situation, of which he made a recent study. He is sympathetic with the problems encountered by General Wood, who was his trusted friend, and announcement was made that he would carry out the policies laid down by his predecessor and approved by President Coolidge. This program, it is believed, will assure stabilization of the policies of the islands and show the politicians who have been demanding changes and the naming of a man opposed to the Wood policies that the Administration wants to carry out the program initiated by the former Governor General. It is understood that Mr. Stimson undertook the work at a great personal sacrifice and against a disinclination to live in tropical countries on account of his health. Post Accepted as a Duty Mr. Sitmson accepted, the post, it was said, as a duty, believing that he must be able to accomplish something because of the study he made in 1926 of the political and racial situation in the islands. He feels that a fixed policy, rightly carried out, will lead to American investments and a great increase in the rubber and other developments there, which have not expanded greatly because of unfavorable political conditions. The success met by Mr. Stimson in his recent mission to Nicaragua is believed to have weighed favorably with President Cookidge in his search for a successor to General Wood. Mr. Stimson accepted a commission from the President last April to investigate the revolutionary situation in Nicaragua and, if possible, to persuade the contending forces to lay down their arms. Shortly after his arrival in Nicaragua he won over the Conservative President, Adela Díaz, to the cause of peace and later influenced the Liberal commander-in-chief to lay down his arms on condition that the United States supervise the 1932 presidential elections.

The idea is that for us to allow so important an institution in Negro life as is THE NEGROWORLD to die just at the time and in the manner that the Imperialists hope to have it die, would be a lasting disgrace to the entire Negro race.

In addition, Federal officials assisted in the arrest of 18,093 more violate through co-operation with State agents. The arrests netted jail sentences of 4,477 years and fines aggregating $5,775,225. Of the 51,945 cases brought in the Federal courts 36,546 resulted in convictions with jail sentences attached to 11,818. In making this announcement in his annual report exhibition Commissioner Doran points out that the bureau was striving through its laboratories to remove all trace of poison in denatured alcohol that has been the cause of numerous deaths each year. "Work is being done and information being obtained with the view of eventually eliminate the poisonous ingredients from the formulas without decreasing the non-beverage character of the alcohol," the report said. are expert in tearing down but are totally deficient in the masterful faculty of building anything. The Negro race has many masterful critics, but not so many masterful builders. Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom of the African Methodist Episcopal Church is one of the most learned and eloquent Negroes of the world. He has always been an outspoken man with the courage of his convictions. The Pittsburgh Courier, which has never been very friendly towards Mr. Garvey, in its issue of December 17, publishes a Chicago release, headed, "Marcus Garvey Is Mightiest Prophet," quotes Bishop Ransom, among other things, as saying: "Marcus Garvey is the mightiest prophet who has appeared among us in fifty years," declared Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom of the A. M. E. church in addressing a large audience here Tuesday evening at the Metropolitan Community Church, under the auspices of the Umbrian Gloe club. After declaring that the Negro did not believe today as Frederick Douglass did that "the Republican party is the ship, all else is the sea"; that the Negro accepted Booker Washington's idea of industrial training for the masses, but not political affacement, that the race "acknowledges the force and power of the scathing denunciations of political and social injustice proclaimed by DuBois, but refuses to join him by fighting with his weapons in a campaign that can only inflame our oppressors," the bishop pointed out that Marcus Garvey has made articulate the heart throbs and aspirations of black folk everywhere. "He proclaims for the unity and solidarity of the black people throughout the world. He pleads that we put into commission and organize the intellectual, financial, professional and industrial resources of the entire race and use this power to participate in the redemption and development of the continent of Africa." continued Bishop Ransom. "As a prophet Mr. Garvey has run true to form by meeting the age-long rewards of a prophet—he has been stoned, he has been imprisoned and now he has been banished. But truth, aspirations, and ideals can neither be imprisoned nor deported." After reading and digesting this thoughtful and just statement about Mr. Garvey and what he has accomplished, by Bishop Ransom, it is easy to listen without being disturbed in the least by the persistent yelping of Blanche, Tray and Sweetheart. They are indifferent yelpers and poor biters, and will not be able to undermine the great work of race unification and self-help Mr. Garvey has accomplished or deter in the least the work of building on a good foundation which Mr. Garvey has just begun. The redemption of Africa from European overlordship and exploitation, and the conservation of the Negro's social, civil and economic values, is a great work, which must be done as a matter of self-preservation, and will be done. So much is written on the wall where he who runs may read. ARMED TO THE LIMIT, SOVIET RUSSIA DEMANDS DISARMAMENT AT A RECENT meeting of the League of Nations, at Geneva, Litvinoff, as the representative of Red Russia in its first appearance as a member of the League, and speaking for the Russian delegation, proposed the complete abolishment of all land and sea forces and the scrapping of all warships and the destruction of all fortresses. The proposal created the greatest possible sensation, because of the source from which it came and because it is known that Soviet Russia has a standing army of 1,124,000 soldiers, the largest if not the strongest armed force in the world. While talking peace, it is admitted by those who know that Russia is making the most elaborate preparations for war, and the European Powers are greatly disturbed, with constant flare-ups in the little Balkan States which may provoke a great war at any time. Russia, like Turkey, has long been a disturbing influence in the politics of the world, and it was never more so than at the present time, but just what Russia is now driving at, with the greatest armed force in the world and yet demanding the utter destruction of all armies and armament and fortresses, has got the statesmen of the world guessing. And Russia, by its propaganda of communizing the nations of the world, with a disturbing appearance just now in war-ridden China and native discontented and restless South Africa, has antagonized most modern nations, many of which, including the United States and Great Britain, have no diplomatic relations with it at this time. Of a truth, the peace of the world is as frail as the thread from which the sword of Damocles is said to have been suspended. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention, to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. "ON EARTH PEACE: GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN" CHRISTIAN people everywhere are turning their thoughts this week to the most masterful personality in the history of mankind, judged by the new gospel he preached and the hosts which have come to believe on him and to revere his name and to stand up for his doctrine, and they are turning to Luke ii., 8-14, again, and reading of the advent of Him who in His manhood said of Himself, "I am the resurrection and the life," in the following words: "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, so, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shepherd round about them, and they were sure afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." There is no piece of fiction in any language so full of mystery, of miracle, of achievement, of tragedy, as we find it all in the short life and crucifixion of Jesus. The twelve men whom he sent forth to preach his gospel of peace and good will, and their successors, have conquered the world, and rule it, albeit they often say and do in the name of their Lord things which he repudiated in his lifetime and they cannot justify in theirs. The staff of The Negro World entering into the spirit of the Christmas holidays, sends a message of peace and good will to Hon. Marcus Garvey, President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and to Mrs. Garvey, his wife, and to Hon. E. B. Knox, his personal representative, and to the splendid membership of the association in all parts of the world. And let us all join in the glorious message, "On earth peace, good will toward men," and pray that it may more and more make for the "resurrection and the life" in the affairs of mankind. THE ASSOCIATION WILL RALLY AROUND MR. KNOX If all of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the United States, gathered in their meeting places, shall show the same enthusiasm as the members of the New York local, gathered in Liberty Hall last Sunday night, showed upon the announcement of President-General Marcus Garvey, that he had designated Hon. E. B. Knox as his personal national representative, with a number of persons in different sections of the country, yet to be named, to advise with him in the conduct of the work of the association in the United States, until the meeting of the International Convention next year shall make the selection of those who shall control and direct the affairs of the association—if all of the members could have seen the enthusiasm with which the members of the New York local received the announcement, they would have been animated with the supreme purpose which President-General Garvey wants to have animate the whole association—the supreme purpose of standing shoulder to shoulder in furtherance of the work of the association. We dare say the like enthusiasm was shown by all of the other locals of the association in which the announcement of the President-General's desires was made. Our business is an good as the other fellows, the reason it is not bigger and better in because the members of our group are not loyal enough to give it their full support. The more we pour into the coffers of our own treasury, the bigger the dividends we pay. It's true that we are only infants in the business world, but, like other infants, we grow big and powerful. In supporting any race man's business, you are not only helping him but yourself as well, because in the growth of his business he will give employment to others, in some way send some of it back to you. -Western American. The address made by Mr. Knox to the New York local, printed in full in The Negro World of December 17 dealt almost entirely with a recital by the speaker of his interviews with the President-General at New Orleans, before his steamship sailed out of the harbor with its course set for the West Indies. It was an address full of the pathos which is eloquence, and of the sympathy which the speaker felt in the great subject with which he was dealing. The vast audience was drawn all the more closely to the speaker because he came to them direct from the leader they love and who was rushed out of the country with indecent, if not scandalous, haste, without an opportunity to adjust his affairs or to look his New York followers in the face. Mr. Knox so presented the matter as to make it seem to those who heard him that the spirit of the great leader was among them in Liberty Hall. So it was. So it always will be, wherever there is a Liberty Hall and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association gathered in it. The aged men and the aged women—fathers and mothers of children—contributors for decades to the progress of our civilization, who, because of infirmities brought on by the multiplying years, must cause their active labor; those old people deserve something better from us than to be showed aside into any corner that's handy. They merit comfort and happiness and the right to live their sunset days in security, peace and comfort.—Black and White Chronicle. We believe in punishing criminals. We firmly believe in giving the fullest extent of the law to anyone who breaks the law in any manner, but we have seen too many instances where innocent black men have been burned and otherwise tortured merely because they happened to be at the end of a "Nigger Chase."—Southern News. Yes; the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will stand by Mr. Knox, as President-General Garvey desires, if work as one person for the success of the association. "MARCUS GARVEY IS MIGHTIEST PROPHET," SAYS BISHOP RANSOM It would seem that a person of average intelligence would be liberal enough to give the other fellow at least the right to have an opinion of his own and to weigh that opinion in the angle of common sense and mature judgment before an opinion is formed as is the correctness of an idea or the impossibility of a theory.—Oklahoma Eagle. HILK there are numerous voices throughout the United States in praise or blame of Marcus Garvey, drawn out by his release from Atlanta prison and deportation, and manifested by the brutality of some in their treatment. Here we find consolation in the fact that one of the penalty-great is to be misunderstood and abused by many, who always know what they do, and who being naturally small is unable to appreciate greatness in others. That is a important, the savest critics of those who do things, the biggest air in the world, who accomplish most, being those who are unable to build anything themselves. They The colored voter should maintain an open mind and an attentive ear to the issues now confronting the nation in general and the rare in particular.

When men, because they have power and influence, lie across the path of progress, merely because they have the power, then we have devilish politics.—Christian Recorder. Men soldom think of others.

THE LIFE OF MARY CATHERINE BURTON HON. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, caught by the camera as he delivered his remarkable farewell message to the assembled thousands on the pier at New Orleans from the deck of the United Fruit Line steamship Saramaeos. MARCUS GARVEY: AN APPRECIATION The following editorial on Marcus Garvey—his work in the United States and his world-wide influence—appeared in the Washington Tribune, in its December 16 issue. The editorial is a fair sample of the recent utterances of several of the leading Negro newspapers in the United States which are slowly but surely renouncing their policy of giving comfort to the enemies of the Negro race by silence in the face of a shameless and patent policy of repression. The Negro World rejoices to find that the realization is general that Marcus Garvey was punished by the scheming enemies of Negro freedom for his virtues and not for any faults of his: (From The Washington Tribune) MARCUS GARVEY: AN APPRECIATION Recognizing as we must the power of personality, the brief career of Marcus Garvey holds material for interesting analysis and possible prophecy. Why did Garvey find so much favor among the masses of colored people in America? And what is to be the consequence of Garvey's having lived and acted upon our group? These are questions worthy of thought. According to eminent students of social movements, people who are denied the full expression of political freedom, develop what is known as "oppression psychosis," or a state of mind in which their wrongs are intensified by constantly dwelling upon them. Certainly the Negro in America has had more than three centuries in which to develop a state of mind. Not being militaristic, or lacking the means to combat, and having been brass through chattel slavery into an attitude of apparent submission, or a tendency to get immediate ends by indirection, his "oppression psychosis" has taken strange forms. Our religious fervor, our abandon in the dance, our laughter, our constant criticism of each other and of every movement, our tendency to ward membership in all kinds of organizations, our following first one leader and then another, and our rapid change from enthusiastic support of a proposition to cool neglect, are all phases of the soul which is not satisfied with its expression. Marcus Garvey summed up for the masses of the colored people their several grievances and traced them directly and pointedly to the rapacity and greed of the whites. He offered the group an outlet through economic co-operation. By his proposed development of Africa and by his regalia and titles—as well as by his employment of many intellectuals who could not make a decent living in an industrial age with a prejudice which disbarred colored men and women from the higher wage groups—he combined more influences in producing a following than had any former leader. In fact, Garvey followed most closely the steps necessary to the progress of a movement among people with a grievance: he stated their grievance, financial and social; he made diagrams and phrases, easily caught and repeated; he called disattested men and women to his assistance as aides, giving them titles and license; he held conventions locally and nationally for very definite purposes, and he constantly added new dreams and visions of begin, all of which he broadcast by means of his newspaper, whose name, The Magazine, gave volume. Garvey was laughed at and laughed for his supernatural yet put the historian onto its that Christopher Columbus, whom Garvey remembered in more ways than any, deserved. And he made by Spain "Admiral of the Atlantic," Viscount with the power of life and death and part owner of a vast office of the group of the lighthouse. Above and below many other kinds of explored place by American, Garvey had and held the international land. He thought not in terms of the political and metropolitan figure, but his plans and his proseudo historical white people over the whole world. The acclaim with which he has been laughed in American literature he (Copyright by A. P. Benson, Dec. 8, 1927) By copyright of the Southern (New York) News lease from the federal penitentiary here in America (where he was sent for technical violation of a section of the Revised Statutes of the United States, after a spectacular trial, due to information and protections supplied by certain nationalized, middle class American colored people) he despares Garvey's wisdom in knowing how his "martyrdom" would preserve, if not intensify, his leadership. We venture the prediction that we have not heard the last of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, nor of its founder. We also hope not. [Editorial Note—"Brief career of Marcus Garvey"]! The man's career has just begun. Japan Soon to Have Women Lawyers TOKIO (U. F.).—Women lawyers soon may make their appearance in the courts of the Empire of Japan. The Ministry of Justice, the United Press has learned, has prepared a measure which will be submitted to the present session of the Diet, permitting women lawyers to appear and plead in court. The measure is part of a bill to restrict regulations relating to the qualification of lawyers and a draft has been handed to the technical commission of the Ministry. Portage of the measure early in 1988 is predicted. "We believe the woman lawyer will fill a valuable place in the administration of justice in Japan." Vice-Minister Nandima said, painting out the proposed law in line with the policy of the Government to grant increased rights to women in governance with the demand of the legislature. Women have should be especially well in handling the difficult relationship between the Maitreya temple, which the repository and the temple themselves are including with the general informationation of the temple, the general breaking down of the family system and the arrangement of real relationships into the group. The Northeast Tennessee and Health Commission, which is now conducting its annual Christmas goal sale, has apoyo health services which are available to residents of Kyron. It has a nutrition class for children, an information service where any one in the community may go by telephone with his health problems, a dental clinic, where children whose parents cannot afford to send them to private dentists may have their work done at national free, and a health examination clinic. It also has an institute for admissions of the community. This course is given every year in co-operation with the Health Education Service, New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, the parent association, Lectures and clinics for post-graduate study on some medical subjects are arranged. This year the course has been held at Bellevue Hospital. Among the local doctors who have attended the sessions are: Dr. N. Whitman, A. Sidat Ningh, H. Bealy, R. Young, C. Streets, W. Price, J. D. Williams, C. Polel, P. F. Anderson, H. P. Roberts, A. MacGill, H. Warner, A. Armstrong, J. J. Jones, C. Price, G. Hayen, H. Stout, W. Allen. All the services of the Harlem Committee are made possible by the sale of Christmas soils, which is now being conducted by the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association. The money raised by the sale, of soils in Harlem is all spent in the community. However, the budget allocated to the committee has always exceeded the total amount raised in Harlem. "Our committee would like to raise our entire quota this year," said Dr. Henry O. Harding, chairman of the Harlem committee and a member of the board of directors, New York Tuberculosis and Measles Association. "We are going to try to raise it all here in Harlem. We hope, at least, to raise more than we have in any of the past five years since the organization of this committee." The sale of Christmas soils will continue until Christmas Day. They may be purchased from the committee's headquarters, $35 West 186th street, or at booths placed in local theatres. HEALTH TOPICS By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association. Colda This is the time of year when colds are apt to be prevalent. Avoid them if you can. If, however, you do contract one, take measures to cure it immediately. The best way to prevent colds is to keep in good physical condition. If you are feeling well and your general resistance is high, you are less likely to catch cold, even if you are exposed. Watch your health habits. Do not neglect your sleep. The average person needs from eight to ten hours, depending up his work and individual needs. Continued loss of sleep and rest is one of the most ways of breaking down the general resistance, so do not neglect yourself in this manner. Get plenty of fresh air, wholesome food, sunlight and exercise. Another good way to build up your resistance to colds is to take cold dips or showers in the morning. If you begin this in the warm weather and continue it through the winter, you will help your skin build up its resistance to cold. Avoid crowds in indoor places where there is poor ventilation if there is an epidemic of colds. If you have one, do not endanger other people by frequent crowded places yourself. Refrain from going to the movies and theatres. In treating a cold it is important to go to bed and rest. Take a cathartic and a hot drink and a warm bath. If possible, go to bed and remain there for twenty-four hours. If this does not break up the cold and it continues to grow worse, consult a doctor. Don't drug yourself with self-prescribed medicines. HOMELY PHILOSOPHY Have you atrocious home marmors? Do you give up all your smiling and complaining for company consumption? Those who love you best are the bona fide, and you feel a kind of liberty and freedom, perhaps, to express your soul right there. Hard joy, heart-filling, awe-inspiring and general amusement make many a one in the dear heart sanctuary of the home. We should be more mindful of our marmors than elsewhere, for whooping can be more important than those who love you best! When know what a magnetic in. in some parts of the earth's crust or an environment is mixed which has the power of drawing to it magnification of iron or steel. A piece of this magnetic stuff is known as a natural magnet or lodestone. There are three ways in which a magnet may be made. An ordinary steel rod, if stroked by the end of a powerful lodestone, will itself become a magnet. The region around a magnet in which its influence is detected is called the magnetic field. Iron objects brought within this field speedily require magnetic powers. Lastly, if a piece of steel is wound with im- fused wire and a strong electric current is passed then, the steel is magnetized. Human Magnets These are human magnets. Some people possess a singular degree of the ability. They can literally draw their fellow beings towards them by personal attraction. Personal magnetism even superior to physical magnetism. For whereas the iron magnet attracts only its opposite pole, the human magnet attracts both like and unlike personalities. We are attracted to the magnetic man because he supplies the very qualities which we lack, but we are no less attracted to him if he has much in common with us. The human magnet is the perfection of the iron magnet. No limitation narrows personal magnetism. It attracts what it desires. History tells us that the personal magnetism of General McClellan over his soldiers in the Civil War was constant inspiration. Once when the tide of success seemed to go against the Union forces and dismay was gradually deepening into despair, his arrival into the camps at nights produced a transformation among the troops. The news "General McClellan is here" was caught up and echeol from man to man and eyes were rubbed and every soldier, tired or what not, was electrified. The personal magnetism of Napoleon Bonaparte inspired millions to die for him. The magnetism of Musculini is inspiring millions to adhere to his bidding. The magnetism of Touiscan L'Overture made conquering soldiers out of slaves and gave the Haitian republic to black men. The magnetism of Frederick Douglas and Booker T. Washington is evidenced by their achievements. Carlyle in "Heroes and Hero Worship" chooses Mohamed, Dante, Shakespeare, Luther, Cromwell and Napoleon as examples of human magnetism. I choose Marcus Garvey as a living and an unquestionable example of the perfection of human magnetism.

Mercury Curvity, the Magnet I was privileged to visit him in Atlanta more regularly than any other person. I was able to sight him from personal observations and observations to note the匀姿ity of the man in his endeavor to nationalize Negroes. The匀姿ity of Garvey is unquestionable, and because I this attribute that contributes to the匀姿 of his magnetic personality, millions are drawn to him. And remember, were it not for this particular essential that goes to make up a magnetic character, Garvey could not have drawn these people into him. When thousands heard that Marcos Garvey was released, as the soldiers of McClellan, the arse was sent all over the world and those who had become tired of well-doing and had become dependent in the army of Negro nationalism awoke and found themselves in battle army for Garveyism. Dues cards were reuscripted and the holders made a grand rush to pay up their back dues that they may be there when Garvey comes. To show you the magnetism over the name, Marcos Garvey, a woman by the name of Laura Koffey, who styles herself as an African Princess, and who promises to have ships to take all Negroes back to Africa, is at this present time collecting hundreds of dollars from Negroes because she uses the name Marcos Garvey. Although all efforts are made to stop her, because she continues to say that she is a discipline of Marcos Garvey, she draws thousands to her call. Sitting in the immigration station in New Orleans awaiting deportation, he maintained the confidence, happiness and good humor that a magnetic personality possesses. Using his mental energy to formulate plans for his cherished dream, he showed confidence in the ultimate realization of his objective, and although he was yet held behind prison bars, persecuted by a democratic government for no other purpose than for solidifying the Negro that he may become an independent entity in the family of nations, he maintained that good humor, one of the essentials of a magnetic personality.

The tyrants' wills shall never Our hopes asunder roast, The Red, Black and Green forever, God bless our President!" As Garvey stood upon the deck of that ship and delivered that never-to-beregistment address, I could clearly see the Magnetism of Sincerity, the Magnetism of Confidence, the Magnetism of Mental Energy, the Magnetism of Knowledge, the Magnetism of Attraction, the Magnetism of Happiness, the Magnetism of Strength. As he continued to speak I saw the magnetism of that ardent and insistent desire for an Africa redeemed and I concluded then that Marcus Garvey, the Magnet, shall inspire millions to work unceasingly and die, if need be, for the cause he promulgates. FEWER ALIENS SEEK CITIZENSHIP PAPERS Drop from 375,000 in 1924 to 203,000 in 1927 Revealed—Women Applicants Rise The number of men taking first naturalization papers in 1927 was 200,000, compared with 220,000 in 1926, 225,000 in 1927, and 255,000 in 1924, according to an analysis of naturalization figures in the United States from July 1, 1926, to June 30, 1927, by Harold Fields, Executive Director of the League for American Citizenship, for publication in the January issue of New America. From 1924 to 1927 the number of women taking out their first naturalization papers increased from 49,000 to 55,000. In commenting on his study of naturalization statistics, Mr. Fields says: "Citizenship was granted to almost 200,000 aliens this year, as compared with approximately 150,000 in each of the past three years. The only time this number was surpassed was in 1919. Naturalization certificates were granted this year to 24,000 women, showing a tremendous increase over the numbers for 1921, 1925 and 1928, which were 14,000, 18,000 and 24,000, respectively. There is a tremendous stimulus now being given to Americanization work among the aliens, and the media of countless texts, motion pictures and news items in the foreign-language press are all bearing fruit. "Of the approximate 12,000 who were denied, 1,500 were damned for ignorance. 1,100 for immorality; 600 for causes associated with loyalty to this country, and the rest, almost 9,000, for administrative reasons. It brings to a focus all the baseless, undesirable statements made about our alien population, since these 240,000 individuals represent more than thirty-three different nationalities and are thus a large enough cross-section of the foreign-born in the United States to warrant a logical conclusion. "Of equal value to this phase of naturalization study is an analysis of the proportion of the Nordic to the non-Nordic elements granted citizenship. Careful examination reveals the fact that 25.5 per cent of all those granted certificates came from Nordic countries, and of this group over half comes from the British Empire alone, 70.5 per cent from the non-Nordic countries, and 4 per cent from the American continents, repatriated Americans, and others not included in the first two groups."

Satisfying the Irish Negro But the New Negro looks at the thing differently. We do not want to stop segregation in Harlem, we are not just after stopping segregation in the Treasury Department, we are not just after stopping segregation in the Post Office—we are out to stop segregation by the white man against the Negro all over the world. And we know until you can elevate the entire Negro race to a position of power, these little compliments in spots that the Negro is making won't mean anything. Because the white man considers what he is doing to one Negro he is doing to all, and it is pretty well true. They look on us all alike. Of course, he does not treat the Negro that has just come from Harvard in the same way as he treats the other Negro. The Negro from Harvard he calls a dangerous Negro. I hope you understand what I mean. There are some very foolish Negroes that come out of Harvard, but I mean the Negro that is trained. The white man has a sound policy for this type of Negro. To prevent this Negro from sowing seeds of ambition in his race, he gives him some medicine job, and that Negro is satisfied for the rest of his life. He calls himself a leader, and he is ready for heaven. The Ways of the Wise To illustrate further the white man's scheme. Last week the Negro newspaper broadcast over the country that the President had approved the appropriation for Howard University. That is a pretty diplomatic scheme. While they are putting up a few thousand dollars in Washington, in the District of Columbia, to educate a handful of the Negro race, they continue to ignore the fact that down in the Southern States the white people down there prevent the humblest Negro child from receiving the slightest education. Some of them don't go to school at all—thousands and thousands of them. What I am trying to show is this, that the rank and file of the Negroes are being held back while a play is being made of magnanimity to a handful. These are all New Negro thoughts, and we don't mind talking about it, we don't mind making it plain, because the truth is the light. One great writer said, "Give the people the light and they will find their own way." Marvous Garvey has given four hundred million Negroes the light, and they are going to find their own way. (Ansulane.) The speaker ended his address with an earnest appeal to the membership throughout the world to remain steadfast to the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and in their loyalty to the Hue. Marcel Garvey, who was now making plans for the rehabilitation of the organization and the furtherance of the program which would startle the world. He prophesied that the next international convention would be by far the greatest in the history of the movement and of the world and expressed the hope that every branch and chapter throughout the world would put its house in order, function one hundred percent, so that it would be able to do itself justice and credit when the great day came and they met their leader face to face. Army Guns Always Ready to Move Fort Abrahani Eustis, even in peace time, must sleep with one eye open. As the only railway artillery post in the United States, its guns are ready to move quickly to any part of the country. The huge railway guns can entrain for any point on an hour's notice, while even less notice is required for tractor-propelled artillery. These two types of artillery comprise the movable forts which were found highly valuable during the World War. Normally there are approximately 1,800 officers and men at the fort, but in the summer it is the scene of a citizens' military training camp. A sound ranging battery, the only one of its kind in the country, is charged with locating enemy guns during war. This is done with electric "listeners" which receive and record the reverberations of guns, no matter how far distant. The sound is pliote-I and the location of the gun may be told to an inch.—Washington Star. Tuberculosis, when it sets out on its campaign of death, prefers men to women. And, as a metropolitan setting for its drama it chooses Manhattan. These facts the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association announced yesterday as part of the informative program of its Christmas drive. In 1830, for which figures are now available, it is asserted tuberculosis caused the death of 15 per cent more men than women in the City of New York. The Borough of Manhattan, with a population less than one-third that of the whole city, has a no tax rate the report stated, greater than that of all New York. In the first map centres of 157 Manhattan had a tuberculosis death rate of 154 per 100,000 population, whereas the whole city registered a rate of 24. In the same time running Manhattan had 274 new census per 100,000 population against an average of 174 for the entire city. Manhattan maintained nearly one-half of the 1,924 new census dugout time period. Two hundred new census the report commission, are reported every week in the city. And each week the district takes the lives of 199 New Yorkers. Parent Body To Function As Before Special Message to Officers and Members of Divisions and Chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association The Hon. Marcus Garvey has designated me to administer the affairs of the Parent Body in the United States until the next convention, and has ordered me to instruct the various branches of his desire that they return once more to their normal functions as units of the organization. It is his express wish that the divisions, chapters, etc., resume at once their previous normal relations with the Parent Body. Members are especially requested to see that their secretaries make REGULAR MONTHLY REPORTS to the Parent Body. Special attention is also directed to the YEARLY ASSESSMENT TAX of One Dollar, due on January 1 of each year, NOW PAYABLE. THESE INSTRUCTIONS TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY which means that reports should at once be made for the month of December, 1927. Information as to BACK REPORTS will be sent direct to the officers of divisions within a few days. Personal Representative of the President General. New York City, Dec. 12, 1927. portunity of making good in the islands, while the British planter has great difficulty in getting a supply of native labor. So acute is the shortage of labor that some Britishers have sold out their holdings to French companies, while others are turning French nationals. The cry of the British planter is, "Allow us to indenture labor, and then we can hold on!" Indentured Chinese and other natives are supposed to be returned to their homes when their term of service has expired. But many of them have wives and families, and prefer settling in the islands to returning home, and, in these cases, travellers are convinced that considerable laziness prevails over the administration of the law. Consequently there is growing up at our door an increasingly strong colored population, which may well prove mimical to our White Australia policy. Forget-Me-Not Once The forget-me-not was once known as scorpion grass because the flower buds were thought to resemble the coiled-up serpent. In the early days men, believing in the doctrine of signatures, supposed this to indicate that the buds would cure venomous stings. Vying with the forget-me-not in its sentimental association is the lily of the valley, which blooms about the same time, in May, and is sometimes called the May lily, says the Detroit News. In the old herbalist's heyday it seems also to have vied with the forget-me-not in curative properties, for one writer says that "Sowers of the lily of the valley, being close stopped up in a glass, put into an anthill, and taken away again a month after, ye shall find a liquor in the glass which, being outwardly applied, helpeth the most." In the world of legend, however, the forget-me-not seems to have a distinct advantage, for whereas an angel scattered them, the lily of the valley springs from the loam of a more mortal Bvv, as she left the Garden of Eden.

Burleson, Episcopal missionary Bishop of South Dakota, spoke on the problems of 5,000 Indians in his jurisdiction at the annual meeting of the National Indian Association recently in the Y. W. C. A. building, No. 610 Lexington avenue, in New York, Nine-tenths of the South Dakota Indians have become Christians, it was said. "The American Indian has reached the end of the trail," he said. "His future lies in his adaptation of himself to the ways of the white man and his absorption into the ranks of the self-supporting and self-respecting citizens of the United States. "I sincerely hope that President Coolidge will not judge the present condition of the Indian by the prevailing features which were displayed to him in the Black Hills. He saw too much war paint, feathers and dances, all of which are things of yesterday, chiefly reproduced now for the entertainment of the white man. "There is much ill-considered talk about leaving the Indian as he is in his old environment. There is no way to turn back the clock. The Indian must live in the sort of world we have made. They are not true friends of the Indian who would educate him for yesterday instead of tomorrow."

The Childhood Education, U. N. I. A. originated on Sunday, November 28, at Corporate's Hall, one of their halls. Inspiring and interesting meetings. The program began at 3:30 P. M. with Mr. G. E. Iman, acting president, providing. The opening ode, "Tennan Guamand's Key Mountain," was sung and the chapman led the audience in devotional exercise. The setting president, Mr. G. E. Iman, who filled the past of master of ceremonies, wrote a next, short address, in which he explained the need of supporting the grand program and elevating the holy principles of the organization. The next next favored with a sacrifice entitled "Lord God Most Holy," which was beautifully rendered. The children then called on Mr. Felix, third vice president, for a few remarks. Mr. Felix responded with a brilliant talk on some of the fundamental principles of the U. N. I. A. The next number was the "Objects and Alms," read by Mr. Liewollyn. Following this the redemption of a short jujuese program, in which Miss Jackson rushed in five styles "How We Should Understand," and Miss Panny Yelling gave an浸读 reading from one of the Men. Marcus Garvey's masterly artiste. Miss Yelling was loudly applauded. Owing to the non-arrival of the Negro World, the President General's message could not be read, and Mr. A. S. Gray was then called upon to read the "Current Topics." The read was then treated to a bit of valuable information from the various articles read, bearing on matters of local, national, and international affairs, as they affect the Negro race. Mr. Gray, as he read, stopped and commented on the high points in some of the articles, among the most important ones being one from the "Associated Forum," with references to the Men. Marcus Garvey; one from the "Western Appeal," giving some light on the Glen case, also an article dealing with Negro conditions in the South. Mr. W. A. Dean was then called on for a special article, which he read from the "Library Degree" of November 7, entitled "Japan's Wish for Chinese Freedom." The article was pregnant with food for deep thought, and the members were advised to read and study it closely. The picture of Madame Sun Tat Ben, wife of the late and immortal Dr. Sun Yat Ben, "Father of China's Nationalism," was then shown to the audience by Mr. Dean in "Adah for December," and he imbued the membership to secure a copy and read the illuminating article on China's great fight for "liberty and independence" from foreign imperialism and glorious domination. The chief mean commented on the various topics and the chair rendered in fitting style "Give Thanks." Rev. C. A. Williams, ex-president, was then called on by the chairman to introduce Madame McNeil, the ex-organist of our division. Madame McNeil, who is known as the "Western Nightingale," and who is the possessor of a sweet voice, rendered in dramatic style "The Voice of One Crying in the Wilderness." The audience applauded to the echo, and Madame McNeil was compelled to respond to an encore, which she gave in the superb rendering of "Deep River." The offering was taken, while the choir sang. At the close, the speaker of the day, Mr. J. Cypriani, second vice president, was introduced by the president. Mr. Cypriani spoke on the "Power of Tranquility." The speaker illustrated the various forms of power and their uses in the life of a "nation or race." The speaker in his address brought out some deep and silent points which left a great impression on the minds of his hearers. The visitors were then introduced and the "Ethiopian National Anthem" was sung, followed by announcements. The secretary's report came next and the benediction was pronounced by the chaplain. YOU WIL IF YOU One Copy of "Superma NEWARK, N. J. The Newark Division had a reel treat Sunday afternoon, December 18 at 3:30 p. m., by the presence of the devoted wife of the President-General, Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey. Services began Sunday morning, 11 a. m., with a sermon preached by Rev. J. Tunaton. The Sunday morning service closed with a very enthusiastic prayer for the safekeeping of our President-General. At 3:30 p. m., we opened our mass meeting in the usual manner. A wonderful musical program was rendered by the Newark Division Choir. The opening address was by the President, Mr. Charles L. James. Rev. J. Walker made the welcome address. He spoke with zeal to the membership, and spoke very highly of the service rendered by Mrs. Garvey to our leader. A recitation was given by Miss Gladys E. Parker, entitled "The Black Woman," one of the latest poems of the Chief while he was imprisoned. This was received with much applause. Mrs. Whitney sang a solo entitled "Garvey Is the Negroa Leader," which also received much applause. The closing number on the program was the principle address by Mrs. Garvey. Our hearts burned within us while she talked with us. We all enjoyed her interesting speech. A floral presentation was given her by the ladies of the division as a token of gratitude. The meeting then; closed in the usual manner. Evening services were also very enthusiastic. MRS. MAMIE BLAND, Reporter. SAGUA LA GRANDE, CUBA On Sunday, December 4, Garvey Day was celebrated with great relicting in this division. The people packed to Liberty Hall in great numbers just to hear the message that was sent by our revered leader, the Mon. Marcus Garvey. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p. m. by the first vice-president, Mr. Horace Taylor, and was duly opened by the singing of the processional hymn, "Shine On, Eternal Light." Sincerity for the great movement shape on the faces of the whole gathering as the chaplain, Mr. Jas. A. Isaacs, conducted the religious preliminaries. He selected a few words from Holy Writ, which read, "Behold, a sower went forth to sow." The secretary, Mr. Simon A. Taylor, read amidst undivided attention the message on the front page of the Negro World, after which the chairman in his lucid address expressed his delight in announcing that the Hon. Marcus Garvey was released. All hearts were delighted to hear this great news, and at this time we feel sure that the release of our leader is a great Christmas gift for the Negroes of the world. A song was sung by the choir, entitled, "The Fight is On." Messrs. Douglas, Prentice, Mills and Scott gave brilliant addresses in English and Spanish. The true spirit of Garveyism was shown when the audience stood and sang "Listen to the Voices of Garvey." The happy faces of the children were seen reciting their respective recitations in celebrating Garvey's day. The secretary addressed the audience with these words, "Will they remember me?" and asked for oneness in prayer for further protection of our leader. The choir sang "We Are Marching On to Victory." The chaplain brought the meeting to a close in the usual way, after a well spent evening. SIMON A. TAYLOR, Reporter THE NEWORO O. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 NEW ORLEANS, LA. The New Orleans Branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association on receiving news of the release of the Hon. Marcus Carvey, and of his deportation, immediately went about preparing to let the world know of its appreciation of our hero and leader. At 7:45 A. M. November 27, he arrived at the Louisville and Nashville station, where he was met by many of his loyal followers, who greeted him with imperial dignity, after which he was taken across the river to the immigration station to await orders. As the hours passed, members friends and sympathizers hurried to pay homage to their hero and leader. Newspapermen and curiosity seekers all went in large numbers and were permitted to see him. He told everyone to look forward to a greater H. N. I. A., for his plans for African colonization have just begun. In the meanwhile, news was flashed throughout the country. Dr. J. J. Peters arrived on the evening before the arrival of Mr. Garvey, the Hon. J. A. Cralgen two days later, also the Hon. William Ware and the Hon. S. V. Robertson of Cleveland, Ohio. These gentlemen set to work and with others co-operating, did everything possible to make his temporary stay happy. Liberty Hall was filled to its capacity at every mass meeting. Messrs. Robertson, Ware and Cralgen spoke at these meetings. On Sunday night, December 4, the Hop. E. B. Knox was the principal speaker of the evening. Mr. Knox said enough to inspire thousands to hold onto the program of the association. In the remarks of the Hon. Knox there was much food for thought. Our president, Dr. J. J. Peters, gave a forceful lecture in which he pledged to ever go forward with the instructions of Mr. Garvey. A farewell message written by the pen of the Hon. Marcus Garvey was also read by the president. The program was supplemented by musical selections as follows: Dust by Misses Dillon and Parker; harmonica selection from our genius Mr. Freddie Small. A very enjoyable and eloquent recitation by Misa Ida Voleson; closing remarks by the president. The meeting came to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem and benediction by the chaplain. S. E. BUCHANAN, Reporter. BRIDGEPORT, CONN. On Sunday, December 4, meeting was called to order at Liberty Hall at 3 p. m. and opened with the song "From Greenland's Ice Mountains." We were led in prayer by the chaplain, Mr. Joseph Allsop. After the song, "O Africa, Awaken," the president, Mr. Henry James, gave us a very inspiring talk which strengthened our determination to have a government of our own. The treasurer, Mr. James Allsop, read to us Hon. Marcus Garvey's enthusiastic speech from The Negro World and also delivered an instructive talk. After the singing of "God Bless Our President," Mrs. Martha Allsop gave us a very interesting speech. A brief talk was given by the first Lady President, Mrs. Anna Lewis. We then had a very encouraging talk from the Vice President, Mr. Robert Baker, on Africa's redemption. The meeting closed in the usual manner. meeting closed in the usual manner. MARY ALLSOP, Reporter. LOS ANGELES, CAL. Sunday, November 20, was a very interesting meeting at the chapter's hall, 4618 Central Avenue. Meeting called to order at the usual hour, 2 p.m., by our chaplain, Mr. J. A. McGann. After the ritualistic service followed by concentration, under the guidance of Dr. R. Scott, for release of the president-general. The meeting was then turned over to the president, Mr. Frank Fulton, who gave the welcome address and introduced the master of ceremonies in the person of Mr. P. I. Parrison. We had a very elaborate program. After the various speakers the speaker of the evening was then introduced, Dr. R. A. Scott. His subject was "Will Power." His lecture was very, very interesting, and his hearers were much impressed. He said in part: "One's individual power is to be used as an instrument through which God works and one personality is an agent to impart instruction and help where help is needed." The Honorable Marcus Garvey is a striking example, he said. Whilst the hymn, "Onward, Christian Soldiers," was being sung the offering was raised by McGann. After a report of the receipts of the evening, the meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. Sunday, November 27, was a very lovely day for Chapter 5 A. The news spread like wildfire that our leader had been released; therefore, the hall was filled to its capacity, everyone anxious to hear about the president-general. Meeting was called to order at the usual hour, 2 p. m., by our faithful chaplain, Mr. J. A. McGann. After the proresculational hymn, "Shine on, Eternal Light." The religious service was performed in the regular way. The meeting was then turned over to the president, Mr. F. Fulton, who acted as master of ceremonies. After delivering the opening address, he read an article from the Nation, which pointed out that so many Negroes who were against Mr. Garvey are for him now. The first number on the program was the song, "Oh, Africa, Awaken," followed by a short address by a distinguished lady, Mrs. R. A. Fowles, a member of Division 156. Next, we had a short talk by the lady vice-president, Miss F. Hagues, who also read the front page of the Negro World, followed by the president's hymn. After the various speakers were heard, the speaker of the evening was introduced in the person of Hon. R. A. Fowles, who spoke on "The Principles of the Organization" and pointed out the necessity of carrying on. The collection was then raised whilst the audience sang "Where He Loads Me I Will Follow" in very good spirit. We then had the receipts of the evening and a report from a tacky party, given by Mrs. McGang for the benefit of the chapter. This brought the meeting to a close with the singing of our glorious national anthem. Every one went away with new inspiration and feeling fine. MISS FANNY HAGUES. Reporter. PORT LIMON, C. R. The Port Limon Division of the U. N. I. A. has taken increased courage on receiving news of the release of our dear leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey. We have been conducting a series of meetings on behalf of our leader's release, but on December 4 a thanksgiving service was held when we learned that he had been freed. In spite of the inclement weather, our great Liberty Hall was thronged with hundreds of Negroes who fled in to drink the happy news, for if any division feels glad, it is the Port Limon Division. Our rostrum was occupied by our full staff of officers and residents of various nearby divisions, also a distinguished guest, Elder Morley of the Free Seventh Day Adventist church. Our celebrated choir chanted "Shine On, Eternal Light" as the crowd filed in. Divine service was conducted by Mr. L. Brown, first vice-president. Passages of Scripture were selected for the occasion, also the order of prayer conducted by Mr. Samuel Nation, president of the division. Hymns to suit were selected by the choir. A masterful talk was given by Mr. Teddy Smith, principal of the U. N. I. A. school. The program concluded in follows: Solo, "Garyey is Free," composed by Mrs. Daisy Hawkins, first lady vice-president; clerion solo by Mr. D. Simpson; addresses by Mr. Smith, president of the New Castle Division, and Mr. Joseph of the Pacucriro Division. A selection by the band brought the meeting to a close. C. CONSTANTINE CORN ALL. Reporter. To Whom This May Concern: This is to inform you that Divisional Charter No. 16, of Rural District No. 16 of Jacksonville, Florida, may hereby avail, on account of insolvency, by order of the New Haven Barter, the Executive Board of the University League, Intergovernmental Association, and the University League, and the police and security department may propose to the New Haven Division No. 16, of Rural District No. 16 of Jacksonville, Florida, to make a personal New Haven Association.

MARCUS GARVEY, President General. ST. LOUIS, MO. The St. Louis Division held its usual mass meeting in Liberty Hall, 2003 Pine street, Sunday afternoon, November 20. The meeting was opened in the usual manner by the chaplain, Rev. Hogue, who then turned the gavel over to Mr. William Mines, first vice-president, who very ably talked upon the alms and objects of the U. N. I. A. Many joined after he concluded. The front page of The Negro World was read by Benjamin Bland. The choir rendered several very inspiring selections. The president, Mr. Aaron Johnson, then took charge of the meeting and gave a brief and very inspiring talk. President Johnson is of very young man, who deserves much credit and encouragement, for with the heavy care of the Division and a mother critically ill, he is "carrying on" courageously. The next speaker was in the person of Mr. John R. Steele, noted architect, and one of the most progressive race men of the city. Mr. Steele's talk was a wonderfully impressive heart-to-heart appeal for more race co-operation. Of the many striking utterances were: "The Negro is afflicted with inferior complex and has no confidence in his own." He has spent many thousands of dollars in the building of several institutions, and not a Negro mechanic here in this city got a dollar out of it. We have over 500 churches here and 100 is enough. I am one of you and won't flatter. You have not done a thing. You think only somebody else can do things. Have faith in yourselves. Be polite, but don't cringe. Strive to have something and the world will see you in a different light." With men of this type preaching the doctrine of the U. N. I. A. we must go forward. Lady President Mrs. Dittle, and Mr. White, one of our progressive business men, were the main speakers for the mass meeting of December 4. Both spoke with telling effect, inspiring the membership to make Division 162 second to none. The afternoon of December 11 was devoted to the Legiona Captain Brown spoke very encouragingly of the Lezion department and called for recruits. One of the most striking numbers on the program was the oration of Private James Lynch, who bears a very marked resemblance to the late Paul L. Dunbar. His subject was "Time and Talent," and with rare eloquence and force he made a very favorable impression. The U. N. L. A. is helping men and women to find themselves. The Division has quite a large sick list. Our treasurer, Mr. Neal, is confined to bed. Our lady vice-president, Mrs. Moore, has just lost her devoted brother. BENJAMIN BLAND. Reporter. Merry Christmas to all. BROOKLYN, NEW YORK One of the most enthusiastic gatherings that has ever packed the meeting hall of the Brooklyn Division. No. 2 was to be seen on Sunday afternoon, December 18. Members and friends of the division from all parts of the borough and a few from New York City filled the spacious hall at 330 Cumberland street. Indeed, standing room was all that could be had in the course of the evening. This representative gathering came not only to attend the regular Sunday afternoon meeting, but also to enjoy the concert which was given under the auspices of Mr. Garfield Hurley, an active member of the division. Mr. E. Thorpe acted as chairman on the occasion. Besides the numerous features presented at the concert, Mr. Hurley, the choirmaster of the division, led a monous body consisting of over ten voices, accompanied by Mr. Winston Gibbons, pianist. Mr. Thomas Brooking, commissioner for the states of New York and Connecticut and one who will always be remembered for the thrilling address which he delivered a few weeks previously, was one of the speakers of the evening. The audience also listened with rapt attention to Mr. Randolph O'Neale, who delivered a masterly address on the occasion. Mr. O'Neale is a member of "Brooklyn's younger set" and a prominent member of the L. O. B. reception society.

INDIAN HERB and IRON SIMILAR, HOW LONG SHALL THESE THINGS BE IN AFTER? DISKSP RANSOM OUTSPOKEN IN PRAISE OF HON. MARCUS GARVEY Says He is "Mightiest Prophet in 80 Years"—"Truth, Aspirations and Ideals Can Neither Be Imprisoned Nor Deported" CHICAGO.—"Marcus Garvey is the mightiest prophet who has appeared among us in fifty years," declared Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom of the A. M. E. Church in addressing a large audience here Tuesday evening at the Metropolitan Community Church under the auspices of the Umbrian Gloe Club. After admiring that the Newman after declaring that the Negro did not believe today as Frederick Douglas did that "the Republican party is the ship, all else is the sea"; that the Negro accepted Booker Washington's idea of industrial training for the masses but not political effacement, that the race "acknowledges the force and power of the scathing denunciations of political and social injustice proclaimed by DuBois but refuses to join him by fighting with his weapons in a campaign that can only induce our oppressors," the bishop pointed out that "Marcus Garvey has made articulate the heart throbs and convictions of black folk everywhere." "He proclaims for the unity and solidarity of the black people throughout the world. He pleads that we put into commission and organise the intellectual, financial, professional, and industrial resources of the entire race and use this power to participate in the redemption and development of the continent of Africa," continued Bineto Ransom. "As a prophet Mr. Garvey has run true to form by meeting the age-long rewards of a prophet—he has been stoned, he has been imprisoned and now he has been banished. But truth, aspirations and ideals can neither be imprisoned nor deported." we have consolidated our position in preparation for renewed offensive and advance. In education we have been forced to detour through many circuitous roads to learning, but always pressing onward to the great national highway where brain and culture set the highest standards in every department of knowledge. Economically our resources have been meager, but a race long inured to poverty, we have learned to march on short rations and thus keep on our way. We have never lost heart, we have never turned back for a single day and the marvel of it all is that desertions have been so few." Pleas for Christmas Aid Show Big Increase More applications for aid are being received this Christmas season by the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor than have been received for a number of years past, Bailey B. Burritt, general director of the association, said. The association needs $555,000 to complete its 1928 budget of $1,216,000 for relief work. The association secured work in the past year for 740 old people and gave a permanent home to seventy-eight older men and women at Ward Manor and Ward Lea. A total of 7,047 families were provided with food, money, clothing and health service. Nurse and doctors have attention to 852 tuberculosis patients and 2,308 families were given supplementary attention by the tuberculosis committee.

Australia—Two native women taken by force from their homes by the white captain of a trading schooner! It seems incredible that such an outrage could be perpetrated in this year of grace 1927, under the flag of any civilized nation. In White Australia summary justice would overtake any offender guilty of so gross a violation of the human rights of women, whatever their color. The wrath recently aroused by the disturbance in South Australia of stones held sacred by the natives proved conclusively our feeling in a much less important matter. But the "Sunday Times" has it on the excellent authority of a clergyman who has recently returned from there, that such a crime was committed less than a month ago on the island of Aoto in the New Hebrides. What the outcome of it may be, we cannot forecast, but such a crime should not be allowed to go unpublished. The story, ar told to us, is that the day before the Makambu put in on her last trip to Aoba, a foreign recruiting vessel came in looking for labor. Some of the natives signed on, and two married native women, wives of native teachers, in the mission station there, were enticed on board on the pretext that they would be allowed to say good-bye to their friends. They were forcibly detained, in spite of their protests, and those of their husbands and the missionary on the island. The natives induced one boat with its crew to come ashore, and they then pulled the boat into high and dry and made the crew prisoners. The captain of the recruiting vessel threatened them with all the pains and penalties of the law, but so incensed were the natives at the treatment of the two women that they would not allow either boat or crew to be returned unless the women were sent ashore. The captain returned to free the women and sailed without his boat or men. Apart from the inhumanity of such a proceeding, it may well be imagined how dim streets an effect such an incident would have in the lowering of the prestige of the white man, generally, in the eyes of the native. It was the intention of the ministery who related this story to the visiting elongymen to report the case to the Cundominium Government, so that further study concerning it may be available a little later on. Negro Risks Life in Heroic Exploit SHREVEPORT, La., Dec. 14. The heroism of a colored man in helping in the rescue of six white fellow workers Monday after they had been blown from a Gulf Refining Company's launch, "The Gulf Special," at the wharf at Moringsport, is being acclaimed by colored persons and white persons alike. The explosion, the cause of which has not been determined, occurred just after eleven employees of the company had boarded the launch for a trip about Caddo Lake, where the men, employed on various projects, had left for their work. Robert Fisher, who was piloting the boat, proved the hero of the catastrophe. As the din and smoke of the explosion that rocked the pier NEGRO EDITORS' LIBEL CONVICTION SUSTAINED During Trial of Two Men of Their Race They Called Case "Legal Lynching Coming" FRANKFORT, Ky., Dec. 16.—The conviction of two Negro editors for libeling Judge Ruby Laffoon, who presided at the murder trial of Nathan Bard and Bunyan Fleming, was upheld by the State Court of Appeals today. The editors had been fined $250. Bard and Fleming, also Negroes, were hanged at Madisonville, Ky., recently after having lost an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. They died maintaining their innocence of the charge of assaulting a white girl. Another Negro who turned State's evidence, insisted they were guilty. During their trial the Louisville News, owned and edited by William Warlay, and I. Willis Cole, referred to the case as "legal lynching coming." The prosecutor of Bard and Fleming announced under the editors would be indicted under a statute which provided a maximum penalty of twenty-one years' imprisonment. However, he found that this statute has been repealed, so the case was made one of libel. Treatment for All Veteran WASHINGTON, Dec. 16—An announcement that will appeal to all covered all-service men was recently made by Walter R. Miller, chairman of the Legion's National Rehabilitation Commission. Congress will be asked to disband the World War Veterans Act so that it will be possible to provide hospital treatment to all veterans in need of it, rehabilitation of the entire range of sickness or disability. Under the present law the Veterans' Program is its discretionary program that hospital treatment if held any condition, but it has been deemed that rehabilitation must be considered if it will be necessary to acquire additional hospital treatment in order for the non-disabled veteran to stay for the non-disabled veteran. died away, men were seen struggling in the water. Many were badly burned and dazed and were in danger of drowning. Fisher was painfully injured, but he retained his strength and coolness. He swam to the aid of the stunned men, who were clinging to pieces of wreckage. Six trips he made carrying injured to the pier before he himself fell out, exhausted. The boat was completely destroyed and witnesses said that but for the heroism of Fisher a number of the men would likely have drowned. Besides Fisher, five white men, Joe Lewis, Robert Nelson, Sox Bonham, Charles Brassie, and Big Boy Eason, were treated for injuries. Race and Religion Should Not Prompt Differences WASHIN' ON, Dec. 16. — After being elected to the Speakership of the United States House of Representatives, Saventleth Congress, on December 5, by 225 votes as against 157 for his Democratic opponent, Hon. Nicholas Longworth, Republican, of Ohio, in a gracious speech said, among other things: "I hope that while we may be widely divided in our opinions upon what is best for the country, our differences may always be based upon fundamental economic principles and never upon questions of geography, race, or, above all, of religion."—C. P. B. Sees Savagery in Bloody Sacrifices The cross of Christianity is fading because it is a "savage survival" of earlier days, the Rev. Charles Francis Potter said in New York at the Church of the Divine Paternity. "The idea of Jesus as the Lamb of God, plain to appraise the wrath of an angry God, is a survival from a lower culture level and should be abandoned," he said. "Sixty-five million people in the United States do not go to church at all, not because they are bad, but because they are too honest to subscribe to creeds of blood sacrifices which are holdovers from days of savagery and superstition." Dr. Potter added: "The martyr is not the highest type of citizen. Intelligent self-giving is infinitely more desirable than self-sacrifice martyrdom." Rochefeller Aid in Egypt GARBO, Dec. 17.—American aid is to be sent to Egypt auto-motor plagiers in Egypt, such as bikers. The Egyptian Government has just made the offer with the Rochefeller Company for the establishment in bikers' duty for the treatment of bikers and prostitute slaves. The Pensioners will get the salary of an American motorist engineer, who will be provided by the Rochefeller Company with a small salary and accrual dollars, and the pensioners will get from certain depths of bikers' own money. BRUSSELS, Dec. 12.—Declaring that the Filipinos were "never so ready for revolution as at present," Anacleto Aliminiana, delegate to the League Against Imperialism, said today at a meeting of the League that the Philippines had given up hope of receiving independence without a struggle. "The Philippines offer the most strategic point from which American capitalism can penetrate into the Far East," he declared. "It is hopeless for us to continue hoping that we will gain freedom from Washington or that the promises made by the Presidents of the United States will be redeemed. The islands can best realize their independence by enlisting the co-operation of workers in the United States and Latin America." Salvador de la Plaza, political exile from Venezuela, declared that the anti-American feeling in Latin America is becoming crystallized in South and Central American countries. Professor Alfons Goldschmidt of Berlin, said that the United States was trying to create a "new Panama by detaching valuable oil regions from Venezuela." World Will Be Kingless In Century, Says Ibanez PARIS, Dec. 18.—The world will be Kingless within the next century, Vicente Blasco Ibanez, Spanish novelist, predicted yesterday in an interview with the Paris Herald. He said: "Look at Europe now. Not more than four or five Kings are left and Republican sentiment is spreading fast. That is largely due to the influence of the United States." The writer said he had no desire to return to Spain, from which he is exiled, until that country became a republic. He came to Paris from his retreat at Mentone to assist in last night's ceremonies on the Victor Hugo centenary. Although he said that he felt more in sympathy with the people of America than with those of his own country, he had never learned a word of English on his various visits to the United States and did not intend to learn any. CHICAGO. Dec. 16. Five million may be added to the colored population of the United States every ten years, based upon the present birth rate and substituting the present death rate, according to figures compiled by Allan Levy Loeh, professor of philosophy and sociology of Howard University, Washington, D.C. AFRICA'S BLOOD BEING POLLUTED BY WHITE SQUATTERS WHO PLANT SOCIAL DISEASES IN THE LAND Terrible Health Conditions in Africa Revealed—Young Africa Blighted with Syphilis at Birth, as Diseased Europeans Roam Unchecked NATIVES FORCED INTO UNSANITARY QUARTERS Thousands of Natives Live in Squalor and Want; Huddled in City Hovels That a Few Whites May Live in Luxury (From The Mission Herald) Along the west and east coasts of Africa and the interior of South Africa a good number of towns have sprung up. Some of these are large towns. They all have large native populations. Sometimes the non-Europeans far outnumber the Europeans, though their beginning and growth were due to the coming of the white man. Both urban and rural, the white man practically owns Africa. But this is especially true when it comes to the towns. Whether it be a few white inhabitants or a large number, they live in luxury and splendor, and the whole town exists for their comfort; while the natives, who many times outnumber them in population, very often have to live in such towns under conditions, moral and sanitary, that are indescribably bad. Circumstances brought about by land grabbing by the white man in the rural districts have forced them into these towns. Think of fifteen or twenty thousand natives coming into a town from country life, thrown together in proximity, where the streets are unpaved and unclean, without sewage or water, no lights; living in huts unfit for habitation under economic conditions which make it almost impossible for them to halfway clothe themselves. The cities are many times so filthy that the stench is unbearable. Such towns are regular incubators for all kinds of terrible diseases and immorality. Many of these towns are frequented by the very worst class of Europeans at night, who leave in their white social diseases and many other plagues which the native people are powerless to combat. All along the West Coast of Africa the white man has sown this evil seed until the very worst form of all social diseases has become deeply rooted; and the situation is appalling beyond description. Many of the children are born into the world with this terrible disease handed down to them from their parents. Some years ago one of our missionaries brought from Nigeria's little boy who, upon arrival at Ellis Island, New York, was found to be dangerously affected with one of these terrible social diseases. Thus he was prohibited from entering our country and was returned to Africa. Just a few years earlier one of our missionaries came home, bringing with him a native child whom the doctors have been treating in one of our beat hospitals for two years. Though the child had been away for some four or five years, it was first thought that he would have to be returned to Africa. A hard fight has been put up during these two years to get the boy's blood cleared of this terrible disease. Though hopeful, the doctors haven't yet succeeded. Several of our missionaries have written for medicines to cure these dreadful diseases among their school children. Perhaps nothing is more appalling than to see how easily many of our women folks along the coast of Africa fall prey to the Europeans who touch along the coast. One can hear of and see dozens of cases where, for a few pounds, a chief or a father will hand over to some of these violent people a fine young girl who is to live with him as his wife during the two or three years he is to spend on the coast of Africa. When he returns he may leave her with two or three half-caste children, give her thirty or forty dollars, and thus she is left to fight life's battle alone. Much of this is going on as we write these lines. With all the white man's boast of his culture and high standard of morality, he never touches any part of Africa but that within a short period there begins a mixed blood population. The more unfortunate fact is that many of the Europeans who touch the coast of Africa are terribly diseased and communicate their disease to the poor, unfortunate natives who usually fall prey. Unless a large force of well trained doctors is distributed along the coast of Africa and also in the interior, it is hard to imagine the end results of the many evil seeds sown along the West Coast. The excellent work and the great blessings that have been brought to Africa during the past century by a fine class of Christian white people who have spread their very love for Africa are being fast commended by a different type, which is greatly affecting Africa in many ways to satisfy their base desires for carnal pleasure and curtsey richest. The South African Outlook, October 1, 1957: ss of Africa and the interior of South have sprung up. Some of these are large native populations. Sometimes over the Europeans, though their be the coming of the white man. Both practically owns Africa. But this is so the towns. Whether it be a few member, they live in luxury and splenfor their comfort; while the natives, them in population, very often have to oms, moral and sanitary, that are in- deaths 777, leaving a balance of increase of 12 persons only for the year. Of these deaths 557 were of children under five years of age, being 126 more than last year, and 239 of persons over that age, being 27 more than last year. The infantile mortality was 63 per cent. of all children born, compared with 6 per cent. in whites. The deaths of children between one and five years were enormous, 225 in all, which is 14 times the number of Europeans of that age deceased, although the deaths of those were above the usual average. The Medical Officer continues: "This condition of affairs is bound to continue and likely to get worse unless the matter is taken in hand in a purposeful manner. What is needed is better military surroundings, more skilled supervision and better instruction in infant management. These things will cost some money certainly, and the amount needed cannot be obtained from the natives themselves. The white rationaries must, therefore, therefore, should shoulder the responsibility or let the matter drift." HONDURAS SIGNS TREATY Gives America Unconditional Most Favored Nation As- WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—Unconditional, in place of conditional, most-favored-nation treatment is accorded the United States in Honduras under the terms of a commercial treaty, the signing of which at Tegucigalpa last Wednesday was announced by the State Department today. The treaty is one of a series recently negotiated by the United States with Salvador, Germany, Hungary and Estonia. It replaces the commercial treaty of 1864, and contains many changes to conform to modern conditions. The text will not be made public until after it has been sent to the Senate for ratification. Race Deteriorates as Civilization Marches On The advance of civilization, with its emphasis on creature comforts, runs hand in hand with the deterioration of the human race, writes Dr. Henry Fairfield Osaborn, president of the American Museum of Natural History, in his latest book, "Man Rises From Parmasmus," which is soon to be published by the Princeton University Press. The doctrine of individualism, outstanding in the third decade of the twentieth century, is the greatest deterrent to racial progress, he believes, "When man begins to specialize," he writes, "and human races begin to intermingle, nature loses control. It appears that the finest races of man, like the finest races of lower animals, arose when nature had full control, and that civilized man is upsetting the divine order of human origin and progress." People of the lower stone age, who lived more than 3,000 years ago, had a much greater mental ability than is commonly believed. By Gilbert also adding that some of the lower stone age men actually were superior to those of the higher ending direct. From the conclusion that the upper and lower North of the completed station of the Neolithic man was balanced in proportion, Dr. Wendell defends that man grew and progressed from lower North to higher North and that in the upper North he will be found in the lower station region. The better we understand the nature and the material of the lower and higher stone age, the more we can understand the nature and the material of the higher stone age. surance The Independent Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World Relegation to the House of Commons The Daily Almanack Journal NEW YORK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1987 VOL. XXIII. No. 20 ON THE EVE OF BIGGER THINGS Fellow-Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: This is to inform you that I am perfectly well and happy. I never felt better in all my life. I am now ready for the greatest phase of the program of racial development, under the aegis of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I have a great joke on my enemies. They thought I should have been dead, but I am very much alive, with a greater and bigger program for Africa's redemption. I am pleased with the loyalty to the cause of the Negroes in America, and that of the Negroes of South and Central America and the West Indies is wonderful and marvelous. We have a grand time of service before us, and each and every one is going to do his or her duty. I am tremendously busy getting things together to tour South and Central America and the West Indies before going to Europe to represent you at the bar of international justice. In my next message I shall outline for you the program, until the next International Convention-something that is so big and wholesome for racial manhood that will make us all feel proud to be black at this particular time of world readjustment. Until you have everything outlined from me, I want each and every member of the Association in America to rally to the leadership and support of the Hon. E. B. Knox, who is charged with the serious responsibility of representing in America the President-General until the next Convention. In my next message I shall also make public the names of the section leaders who are to help Mr. Knox in America. We are looking forward to the greatest period of the organization's history, and there is great cause for rejoicing. I am really feeling fit and fine and by the grace of God we shall win. Everything will come out all right between now and Convention. Obey no orders except they go through Mr. Knox, who is directed by me as President- General. When I meet you in Convention I want to see and know that you have been loyal to the last man. I do trust you will not allow any other influence to break in among you. Keep cool and march forward. Leave my enemies alone-I will handle them when the time comes. For the present, let us concentrate upon building the greater organization that we have always had in view. Support the University in Virginia and keep the colors of The Negro World flying. We shall now in a short while have the old Negro World back in its real place. You shall have my speeches as usual. We have a fine Liberty Hall out here, and in a few months I shall have one as large as the New York Liberty Hall which they stole when I was in prison, and kept me from going back to New York to recover. God is with the U.N.I.A. and no power on earth shall destroy it. Pray universally for your enemies. Pray for God to handle them, and He shall do so in His own way. Hold fast to the faith of Christian love and rest in God and your own initiative for victory. Believe me, I am feeling fine for work for Africa, and Christ is leading me to see the light more and more. Pray for me to keep the faith. Your prayers helped me in Atlanta, and shall help me always. Be assured that wherever I go I shall always be working for the development of our cause. CHEER UP, AND BE BRAVE.
