The Negro World

GREATER EFFORT IN 1928 Fellow-Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: The year 1928 is here. It must be a year of triumph, and so I call upon Negroes everywhere to pledge themselves anew that we shall be emancipated industrially, commercially, socially, educationally, religiously, and that we shall make one effort to free Africa politically and plant upon her loftiest hill-top the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green, the emblem of Negro liberty. Yes, for this flag we shall live, for this flag we shall die as the Frenchmen dies for the tri-color of France, die as Englishmen will for the Union Jack of Great Britain, die as the American does for the Stars and Stripes. Surely we shall not be less than men when the hour comes for us to march out and, if need be, die for the redemption of our motherland. This is the time when men and nations make resolutions. Englishmen make new resolutions in the interest of their country; so do Frenchmen, Germans, Italians and white Americans, so likewise four hundred million Negroes the world over shall, in this new year, make new resolutions that we shall not play a second part in this world, but that we shall unitedly march onward and upward until we meet the Creator, whether it be in the judgment, in His eternity, or now, the equal of all men with whom He created us, and of whom He said we were all brothers, and He but the common Father. Negroes, I trust that you have cast away with the old year your doubts, your unbeliefs. Those of you who have always thought it impossible that Negroes can get together, those of you who have always thought it impossible that Negroes can accomplish anything, I trust you have buried such old beliefs in the oblivion of the past, that they have gone away from you with the old year, and now that 1928 is here, I hope you have new confidence in self, in your race, and with this new confidence you will march on and on and on until we accomplish the great work we have planned. I am making an earnest appeal to you of the Universal Negro Improvement Association everywhere to buckle on your armor for more work, harder work, more determined work in this new year of 1928. It is a year of work, work, work. There must be no shirking, no falling back. You must work and go forward. Tell me that it cannot be done and I say, die, useless incompetent man. We must realize that we have not a minute to spare. Every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month in 1928 must be given ever to the great cause of Negro freedom everywhere and of African political independence. If at any time you feel doubtful of yourself just remember the oath you took in this new year that you will with one determination go forward to the end. Turn not back, look not back, look forward always, retrace not the step you have made. We must march on from one degree of accomplishment to the other. In the last few years we have accomplished much. If we were to look back on what has happened to us in the last eight years we will see that we have grown from thirteen visiopary members to a great movement, into a mighty multitude of six millions. The six millions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association look forward with great hope to the future, and we pledge ourselves that in the year 1928 we shall bring into the fold at least twenty-five million more men, women and children to help us in this universal campaign for a free and independent Africa and an emancipated race. Those who aver that the African should work cut his ultimate salvation where he is (by "fear and trembling" or by force), have arrayed themselves against those who insist that the sphere of his final glory is in Africa. Like the Jews of New Testament times, they would have no dealing with the Samaritans, except, possibly, the dealing of worldly blows. But they are wrong. They remind one of the proverbial "simp" who would cut off his nose to spite his face. Concentration upon any one position to the entire exclusion of every other where life is involved, does not make for the common good. Voluntary self-application might bring personal satisfaction to the hermit; It does not help society. Mono-mania is a phase of dementia. Darwin and Edison The man who possesses a phenomenon with no reference to its antennae, to its reactive relations, is either a genius or a fanatic. And both of these are of a kind in this, that neither is at any great remove from lunacy. Darwin, the scientist, was so engrossed in his specialty that his artistic faculties from sheer disuse suffered acrophy and used. Here was a towering intellect who actually responded, to life as would a cipple to labor. Had Darwin been a little less obsessed with his single quest he might have been able to behead to posisity the boom of the discovery of "the missing link." He might have found it probably himself. But over against Darwin there is an Edison who shows himself a simplestton when he leaves the realm of applied science to trespass as one with authority in the region of psychology. The eye can take in only one surface of a given plane at the same time. But the man of common sense will neither deny the existence of the other side because he can't see it, nor try to explain it or describe it with that degree of finality which comes with consistent oil and painstaking investigation. Men who have contented themselves with burning up their energy on and point are ill-formed men. The fanatic purues his phantom to the exclusion of everything else and ends by making of himself an object of ridicule, and prejudicing his judgment of man against the thing in which he is interested. The difference between the genius and the fanatic is mainly a pragmatic one. Great men are well-proportioned personalities. E. P. Hoe has a very significant title to one of his many beautiful books. He calls it "Nour to Nature's Heart." Well-developed personalities are such, because they live near to "Nature's Heart." The Duty of Leaders Now, in the matter of leadership, there is the ever-prevent danger of an insignifying one's own peculiar position as to make the other's position appear to be the direct opposite of that which is reasonable. Such an attitude will, sooner or later, hurt both the leader and his cause. Truth, like life has an inherent aversion to being distracted unto as to the method or the manner of its manifestation. The vital elements of religious faith are those which respond readily to new relations because they are suffused with—the qualities of life, growth and adjustment, and can stand their grounds without the aid of the ecclesiastical police. The time has come for rank and file to insist that the leadership of the race come together and arrive at a definitive program sufficiently comprehensive to include all that is of value to the race. To divert energies that might be utilized for constructive ends into channels, making for the destruction of an organization out of sheer personal jealousy is poor economy, and the leader of such abortive propaganda stumps as a subject for some psychopathic ward. Those who insist that Africans remain Do You Know What a Woman of 30 Shonld Weigh? where they are hold to a position that should only apply in part. They are guilty in the language of logic of applying particulars to universals. Some Argonauts will remain, and should remain where they are. It would be a matter of physical impossibility for it to be otherwise. The weaker animals, those that lack endurance, are consumed when a worst fire of extensive range occurs; their burnt carcasses remain to cumber or enrich the soil. The stronger ones make their escape by flight and live on after the confugation to perpetuate their kind. The fit survives; the unfit falls out in the race of life and ceases to be. Help for the Weak The African race is no exception to this rule. It has its fit and unfit. And our leaders must reckon with this fact. There are those who will be everlastingly indisposed to move out and make of themselves a people and a nation. The exertion incident to pulling stakes, the rigors attendant upon pioneering; the physical, climatic, social and international obstacles to be encountered; the impediments imposed upon their minds by reason of radically unwholesome teachings—all these will inevitably decide the issue for some. This is their Promised Land, and here will they abide as long as they can, or do if they can't. And they must be considered. What if they have not the capacity for endurance, imagination, desire or intention? What if they say: "Anchored to the Rock of Agen, I shall not be moved." By all means let them stay. And, as humans, help them in every way to fight the common foe; help in the struggles to maintain manhood and womanhood inviolate (in hard struggle that); help to attain personal, political, economic security; help to put down injustices and enthrone a social conscience. This is the duty of all, to serve for the realization of push conditions up would cleft mobility of character, here and everywhere. League of Robbers at Geneva Split Over 'Mandated Territories'—Germany Wants Her Share in Ple Restored Geneva, Dec. 30.—The mooted question of sovereignty over mandate territory, vaguely defined under the Vernalites Treaty and the League Covenant as resting in the territory itself, has again come to the forefront and perhaps for years will be one of the troublemice issues before the League of Nations. Under the Versailles Treaty certain colonial possessions of the ex-enemy powers were intrusted to the victorious nations to administer "for the good of the territories." These territories were called "mandated territories" and the country administering them "mandate power." The territories were divided into three classes, those practically able to govern themselves, those less advanced politically and the backward territories, which probably never would reach a state of political development which would justify direction of their own destinies. Naturally the status of such territories as Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Transjordania and the Lebanon was easily definable. France and England were to direct their affairs as "trustees" until such a time should arrive that they could take over actual administration themselves. The question of sovereignty was never raised. Germany Wants Her Colonies Back In the Class C mandates, however, perpetual proprietorship was assumed by the mandate power in ablence of any contest. And this theory was becoming accepted despite the fact, that the League covariant supposedly safeguards the economic, commercial and other interests of all countries in the undeveloped territories so long as they are under the scrutiny of the Permanent Mandates Commission. The admission of Germany into the League has brought to a climax certain mysterious political maverages. Germany, it will be remembered, was the sovereign power which controlled many of the mandated territories Southwest Africa, the Cameroon, Togoland etc. As a result of their being placed under the League, she has harbored a hope that eventually they will be restored to her. Through the Versailles Treaty she voluntarily surrendered her sovereignty. Under pre-war practices this sovereignty would have been vested in the victorious powers. Instead, however, it was vested in no one. The establishment of fait accompli controversial questions is a favorite though neither outworn custom in Old World diplomacy. Act first and never afterward has ever been the motto of captain powerful nations. Even Greece, in the abusive invasion of Bulgaria some time ago, and Poland, in the occupation of Vilna, infilated the pre-occupied practices of Great Britain and Germany. But the formula does not seem to work any more. Greece paid dignity for her adventure into Bulgaria. Poland finds she has caught a partner in the seizure of Vilna. Industrial presumably by the same theory, South Africa, in a more uniform way, sought to secure the recognition of its sovereignty over what was formerly German Southwest Africa. The move unanimously was prompted by the fomenting entrance of Germany into the League and a realization that Berlin would oppose to secure the re- (Continued on page 5) ERUSALEM, Jan. 4.—An invitation to American archaeologists to visit his country was given by Emir Abdullah, the ruler of Trabzonjordan, in an interview at Amman today. "I wish to invite American archacologists and scholars to come to examine the military fortifications in my country," he said. "I shall lead all possible aid and grant facilities for their work. Our widely-reputed hospitality shall be proved." When asked for his opinion on the situation in the Near East, he replied: "I believe the Near East is rapidly experiencing a period of stabilization and slowing the time in peace when adversity and social progress will be in his hands." CALIFORNIA. Jan. 4. One of the most extensive plots against the British rule over unarmed in this country was revealed today, when the trial of twenty, including on charges of conspiracy was carried out at Dumbo in the state of Rajasthan. A revolutionary conspiracy involving several previous was disclosed in the course of the hearing against nineteen Gengalls and one Jujublah changed with conspiring to wage war and murder and the possession of arms. Underground arreals were discovered in at least three provinces, it was declared at the proceedings, which are a sequel to a raid at Dokher in October when sedition literature and cipher documents, giving the names, and addresses and passwords of the revolutionists, as well as their arms and ammunition dumps, were tracked down. A further series of raids has bared additional evidence, policing to a nationwide conspiracy in which the widespread use of codes and more arms centers were revealed. WOULD INCREASE PAY OF RULERS IN PHILIPPINES WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.—Senator Willis, of Ohio, chairman of the Committee on Territories, introduced in the Senate today a bill for a number of changes in the Philippine government act. Senator Willis said it was understood these changes were generally acceptable to the War, Department, and the people of the islands. In a statement explaining the changes, he said: "The principal changes relate, first, to increases in salary, including the salary of judges, and, second, making provision for special assistants, thus avoiding the necessity for detail of military officers to aid the Governor General. "The proposed salary increases are slight and believed to be justified because of the changed conditions which have affected the purchasing power of salaries everywhere. The salaries of judges are increased $2,000 each. There are increases also for the auditors and for the governor and vice-governor. "It is further provided in an additional section that all taxes levied, collected and paid, in accordance with law, upon articles, goods or warrants brought into the United States from the Philippine Islands shall be heretofore accreted interest to the general government of the Philippine Islands, and of the amount so accruing the Governor General may, with the prior approval of the Secretary of War, expend not to exceed $15,000, per annum without the necessity of further appropriation, for salary, travel and other expense of civilian assistants and technical advisers not exceeding seven in number." "Big Bill" Thompson, Chicago Mountebank, Hasn't Come Across CHICAGO, Jan. 5.—The Negro population of the southern words who plumped 99,008 votes out of 100,000 for "Big Bill" Thompson for Mayor, and elected him by 85,000, are pressing demands for recognition. The physicians have organized and have the Mayor backed against the wall with these demands. Appointment of a Negro physician an assistant health commissioner. Appointment of "a member of his colored constituency" to the Board of Education. Admission to the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium of Negro patients on the basis of the number of cases among their race. Establishment, on the south side, of a hospital maintained similar which shall be open to all physicians, nurses and patients without regard to creed, color and race. In support of the demand for the appointment of a representative to the school board the positionist state "that successful attempts at segregation of school children older rich, ill, are must be made by means by simply superintendent and superintendent, and have been made and allowed by the members of the Board of Education. There is a strong belief among some of the teachers that they may be 16 Negroes to Receive Cash and Medals for Distinguished Work in Fine Arts, Literature, Music, Etc.

DEPOSITS OF PLATINUM FOUND IN WEST AFRICA British Official Wireless Tells of Discovery in the Colony of Sierra Leone Platinum has been discovered in Sierra Leone, the British colony in West Africa, the Colonial Office has announced in a message from the official British wireless. The announcement says: "Platinum was first found in May, 1926, by the director of the geological survey, Major Jumper, and a recent investigation by him indicates that the platinum bearing area is about forty square miles in extent, and that the deposits which are believed, are likely to be of considerable importance.

Marcus Garvey-White Colleges Still Releasing Educated Negro Tools Liberty Hall, New York, Sunday Night, Jan. 8.—A crowded auditorium listened with rapt attention tonight to the Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the President General, Hon. Marcus Garvey, as he delivered a very thoughtful and reasoned discourse on the difference between the Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Negro on the outside. Mr. Knox spoke with eloquent conviction and evidently voiced the sentiments of his hearers as he declared the imminence of the day when the old type of leaders, who had now become convinced that salvation for the race lay only along the path mapped out by the Hon. Margue Garvey, would cast out false pride and fall in line in the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Negro, he said, had, thanks to the U. N. I. A., seen through the sham of the politician and the preacher, the one battering on the masses to fatten his private purse, the other exploiting the old religious fervor of the Negro and still seeking to maintain his weakening grasp with blood curdling pictures of hell and stirring chants. He issued a warning that if the so-called intellegentsia persisted in its way it would find itself deserted by its followers, who were, now ruled by common sense and had learnt to glorify black. Hon. J. H. Miller, vice-president of the New York Local, presided. A splendid concert program was presented, after which, came the speech-making. Mr. C. Smith, a veritable stormy petrel, delighted with his matter of fact quips and thrusts, while Madame M. L. T. de Mena, Assistant International Organizer, evoked cheers as in her inimitable way she bade the membership go forward. Of Marcus Garvey, their leader, she said, they had all reason to be proud, for he had not only awakened the Negro race, but had been an inspiration and guiding star to seekers after freedom, the oppressed of the earth everywhere. HON E. B. KNOX'S ADDRESS Mr. Knox, after reminding the members of a pledge made a few days ago at a previous meeting to donate the sum of one dollar per week "in order that the Hon. Marc Garvey may be better able to function in his high office as President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, process to aid in the gathering. He asks: "I want to speak to you tonight on the distinction between a Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Negro on the outside. We have fast passed through the first week of 4023. One-unit-second part of the history of our great organization for 1655 has already been written; one-unit-second part of the history of individual achievements of every one sitting in this hall tonight has already been written, and I hope that as you sit here and cast your minds back over that brief agenda of time you will see three recorded conduct that will contribute to the welfare of this great organization. "This week and the week previous there have been many subjects of delays delivered relation to the race problem. Several were announced for tenure right here in Houston in different places teaching on the race problem. I have read an account of many during the past week, but most of the appeaches that have been made were along the same old lines that our no-called leaders have spoken for years, and the appeaches will soon be forgotten because at this day and time the-world is face to face with a Negro, face to face with a how Negro that thinks differently, that looks at his problem differently, that is hoping for a different kind of a solution than that which has been held before him for the last 60-odd years. Greater Things to Be Accomplished "You might wonder what is it that I can ask tonight with reference to the Negro being beautified by being a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that we have not already said. You might wonder what difference is it that I can further point out between the Negro who has adhered to the preachments of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the Negro who is still asleep at the post. We have spoken to you for over eight years; we have had great joy before you the benefits of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in all kinds of forms; we have had it all in one way that they have been able to accomplish. Negroes from becoming active members in this great organization? What is it that keeps various leaders, what is it that keeps the politicians, what is it that keeps the preachers, what is it that keeps all of these leaders that existed before the Hon. Marcus Garvey's time from lining up and becoming active members of the greatest organization for Negro achievement and advancement than the world ever known? They claim that they are out for services; they claim that they are trying to render service to their race! It that be their desire, what is it that keeps them from linking up with an organization that will make it possible for them to render the greatest service that is possible to be rendered? What is it that holds them back. It is a very deep reason. It is a reason, then, explained, does not sit well on the minds of some of them, but the race question, the Negroes question is a world-wide question. It does not exist just in American homes or just in the British dominions alone, but it exists wherever Negroes are domiciled, and it cannot be solved by touching, on it in any part of the earth's surface, but you have got to touch on it at the very foundation. You have got to try to solve it for the whole race, or you cannot solve it for a part of the race. "The Hon. Marcus Garvey says that he is writing the second chapter. He points out in this week's address that what the world has done to Marcus Garvey was not being done to Marcus Garvey as an individual, but they were telling it to him in order to impede the progress of a race. But after all that has been done he has come out with the conviction, and he has so expressed it, that he is glad that things have happened as they have, for it has all tended to promote the welfare of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They didn't think that, though it was not anticipated that prosecution of the Hon. Marcus Garvey was going to enhance his cause, the cause of his race, but it served to empile also once again that truth crushed earth will rise again—right will out in the long run. A Matter of Common Sense The Association between the North in 1914, Universal Negro Improvement Association said, the one of the chief role in your society a matter of what you think? The Negro business is their business. The Negro business is their business. The Negro business is their business. NEGRO WORLD EXPANSION FUND WHAT WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH If the reader-will look at the head of this page he will see that the date of this issue is December 31. If he is the sort of person that keeps files of his favorite newspaper he will observe upon referring back to it that our first issue for this year was dated January 1. This is, of course, purely accidental, but we like to think that it has some sort of significance. It is symbolic of the fact that THE NEGRO WORLD is on the job from first to last and all the time in between. As "a newspaper devoted solely to the interests of the Negro race," we hope to accomplish much this coming year of 1928. In a spiritual way we hope to continue the almost superhuman task of arousing the Negro to a sense of his true racial value. We hope to continue educating the masses of our people toward thinking in terms of nationhood and self-government. We hope to so keep before him his true position in modern world affairs as to inspire him with the determination to change that position for the better. In a material way, we hope soon to put the paper back in size to where it was before circumstances forced us to reduce it. There has been much that we wanted to say during these past few months that we could not say because of lack of space in which to say it. And there have been excellent contributions from the pens of various serious-minded men and women of the race that we could not reproduce in our pages for the same reason. Even in the matter of the exchange of views between Negroes in different parts of the world, as represensited in the "News and Views of the U. N. I. A. Divisions," we have been handicapped in that we had not the usual number of pages in which to afford them expression. All that we hope to remedy. And for the early accomplishment of these objectives we continue earnestly to solicit your support. Fill out the coupon below and send to us with whatever you are able to give. Wishing you the best of health and success in the New Year and pledging ourselves to the furtherance of the work, we are. Respectfully yours. We must present it to you and teach it. We must tell you the devil we must present out to you the false and the misleading the old type of Negro leader in order that you may break away from the ranks of those who are still following him and fall in line with the progressive type of Negro. Solving the Problem We have today a large number of people who are still trying to solve the raca problem like they tried to solve sixty old years ago. They are trying to solve it just by going to church on Sunday. Some people may wonder why we refer to the churches so often. Well, the Negro 'leaders' have been churchmen. That is the only kind of leader we know anything about, the only kind of a leader that has led the battle and that has won it if the have any mistakes made, if there are any shortcomings, why, they are the ones responsible for it, because they are the ones that have been doing all the leading. So, we are just going to how to the line and let, the chips fall on them. That is all. There are vast sums of money spent under the pretence of leadership. I notice one organization close by spent something like nearly four hundred thousand dollars on a church, and I am wondering how much benefit will accrue to the race as a result of that spending, something that is going to lift the race up out of this depressed condition in which it finds itself tonight. U. N. I. A. Class By Itself E. E..MAIR, Business' Manager MARCIR GARVEY, Managing Editor to apply it. "Now, a Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not adjusted by any such false teaching and false doctrine as that. The Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association looks at the race problem in the light in which Marcello Garway has set it, but before the whole world. The Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association looks at the race problem from a racial point of view, while the Negro on the outside tries to look at it in some high falutin' way that the white man has pointed out to him. "Too Ashamed to Confess" Negroes do not like to go tell you that they have, been victims of white people's propaganda. Some Negroes are so conceited and their minds are twisted that they are embarrassed and ashamed to let the world know they are really wrapped up in a racial movement. Many of these Negroes, some of them that you see running around here, have been following, other ideas and customs so long that they are kind of ashamed—they know they are going wrong, but they are a little ashamed to admit it; they are afraid somebody laugh at them; that fellow is afraid to lose some of his popularity; he is afraid he will lose his political job. But I am not that that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is going to make jobs for Negroes politically to such an extent that where you have bine now you will have ten after a while. I mean you are going to become a respected and respectable race, and wherever you reside you are going to get all that is coming to you when this organization blossoms forth. "Some people say, I wonder what it is about the Garvey movement that caused it to attract the attention of the world. What is it about the Garvey movement that in spite of all the persecution and denunciation by people in the so-called higher circles, makes it still the most popular Negro movement in the world. You know what it is—it is nothing but righteousness and justice. It is the only organization that is attacking the race problem from a just and right point of view, and when you are right you know you change everything that comes before you; when you are right you break down all obstacles; when you are right you overcome everybody that tries to impede your progress; when you are right the world respects you, and the world tonight is paying two respects to the Hon. Marcus Garvey and this mighty movement, despite the fact that some Negroes who pretend to be intelligent, have not yet linked up." his own special exam reading the same of the times, bespelling from every day experience, and the other type is better prepared than the other, propagating of the white man. He long will it test, do you think? Right years have proven to me that this old type of leadership is fast preceding. Right years of experience, slight awareness of faithful study of the platform and program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have shown to every fair minded person that it is high time that every Negro that thinks anything, of himself and his race to fail in line behind this might movement. I would not do anything that I could not reconnect, with my better judgment. I mean, fundamentally. I would not follow a道理. I knew that it was not intended to do the things that it proposes, and many of the movements in existence tonight pretend to be attacking the race problem when, as a matter of fact, the greatest problem, is to solve, somebody's individual problem. What I mean is that this: If you look into it closely you will find that most of the people who are leading various organizations are in a business, the business of taking care or self, all their professions to be engaged in solving the race problem, notwithstanding. The intelligent Negro has pretty well set back the Negro who suffers all over the world. This so-called intelligent Negro, this old type of Negro, him minded has somewhat become saturated with the belief that he is inferior to everybody else. And this old type of leader will have to be relegated to the background, just as he is being now relegated. He will have to be stamped out, and the best way to stamp him out is to do so anyone said in a paper this week. He said the way to make the preacher fall in line with the racial movement is for the people to stop patronizing the collection plate and stop becoming cultual when the chores begin to sing. He said if the people would carry that out, the preachers would come to their senses. Religion for the Masses "No. I am not opposed to religion. I am not opposed to the churches when they function as they ought. I am not opposed to the preacher as such. I believe there are some of them who are confidentous and trying to do real and lasting good, but the vast majority of preachers in the Negro race are illiterate and careless of the destiny of the rage and are only concerned with collected money from the people. This is a sad statement to be compelled to make, but it is the truth. And if you cut out the funds, then he cuts out the preaching. There are lots of politicians who are supposed to be the leaders of the race, but out for the interests of the race politically; that are just looking out, in the true sense, for the leaves and the flames that they get in the form of graft from the white politicians higher up for the race, that the Hon. Marcus Garvey has pointed out all these defects for eight years, and he has so revolutionized the thought in the Negro race that the old type of Negro leader is golden less and less comfort, and the masses of Negro people are becoming more and more aggressive as a part of human society. What is that makes us come to Liberty Hall night after night and be given a gift by get-well. What is that gift that we give to Liberty Hall night after night, to be interested in the welfare of the Hon. Marius Garvey? What is it that he has brought into existence in the mind of the Negro that is welding Negroes together all over the world? It is nothing, but that instinctive desire of love and fellowship that was planted in the Negro people just like it was planted in any other race, but which had lain dormant for centuries. But the Hon. Marius Garvey awakened it and is causing the Negro all over the world to feel that brotherly care, to feel that sense of fellowship that is already rife in all other people of the world; and that sense of fellowship is steering the Negro, is making him feel that he owes a duty to the world; and that sense of fellowship and is arousing him to a true sense of his responsibilities as a member of his race and as a brother of his fellowmen. It was intended by nature that people should be that way. It was intended by nature that you and I should work just as harmoniously together as any other race or people, or, if you will pardon me, even as the bests of the field. Worshipping False God The Negro in his church, his church program, his church tenets, his church doctrine, had been tampered with so much that, it seems to me, oftimes in serving your God, you are serving the white man more than you are serving your God. You, do not know it, however. You go to church and you sing and pray and get happy, but when you come back the next morning, to your home and proceed about your work, in the final analysis, all you find out is you are serving the white man instead of serving God. And the same thing applies to your lodges: it applies to most of your Negro organizations. If these things had been pointed out to the Negro earlier, if they were about 20 or 40 years before this important type of leadership had taken hold of the Negro, the whole Negro race would be much better off tonight. But the ignorant type of leader led us no long, that we became fearful and impatient of the very thing that meant life to us. Result of False Teaching For instance, when this program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was first presented to the Negro peoples of the world, the Negro people rebelled against it. They thought Africa was really a dark continent. They thought the Negro people of the world were too incompetent to do for themselves what the other people of the world were doing for themselves. They thought the Negro people of the world were not worthy of such an honorable thing as a government of their own in Africa—a united Africa. That is what they though when the Hon. Marcus Garvey first presented this program to them. That was plainly and simply the result of 50-old years of false teaching. That was plainly and simply the result of a false religion. God Is Not as Ho Is Painted And religion, you know, is a mighty dangerous thing. It is a mighty good thing, but it can be a very dangerous thing. There is nothing in all this world that holds a people so strongly and always them so definitely one way or the other as religion. And if you get hold of a religion and get it going wrong you are going to ruin everybody that comes into contact with you. (Heart! Heart!) And a lot of our folk know it, too. They know they have a decided advantage, and that is why the average preacher is so bold. They have heard that, when you appeal to a people's religious sentiment you can do more with them than anybody else. And right here in this country we have got some people going around exploiting the people in the divisions, even preaching against the Hon. Marcus Garvey, by simply pandering to and exploiting the religious fervor of the people. But the Universal Negro Improvement, Association has given out a proper conception of religion, and, thank God, the Negro is realizing that God is not what some of us have been saying Ho was. They are realizing now that hell and heaven are not, quite the places they have been painted for them. They are realizing that these leaders that appealed to their religious continent were doing it for something else far removed from the glorification of God, far removed from promoting the race welfare. The Hon. Marcus Garvey taught the people that. Why So-Called Leaders Hesitate "How long do you think we would have such a thing as a race problem if every Negro lined up behind the Universal Negro Improvement Association? The very moment that was done would mean the end of the vexed problem (Applaise). The very moment the aims and aspirations of the Universal Negro Improvement Association take firm root in the hearts and minds of men the world over, the troubles of the race in the sense in which we speak are ended. Every reasonably-minded person knows that to be a fact. The thinkers in the white race, the thinkers in the yellow race, the thinkers in all races. know Women, Weak, Tired, Rumdown, and Nervous The most expense expression of these decided woman to feel like a new woman. And others "I don't have any help whatever only more." I can better give the most time your Wonderful! that if Negroes are as white as they are by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, that spells the solution of the race problem. And if this is known, why is it that these educated Negroes, those would-be leaders of men, do not come into the organization? No. They think it will mean a shortening of their funds for a little while. But they are very foolish. Machinery and Pressurity Magninery and Prosperity The people did not want magninery in the world. The average worker said: "we don't want work done by machinery, because it will cause hand laborers to be out of work, but we find that the age of the machine has brought more comfort and happiness and more jobs to the millions. The same thing would happen in the case of these brothers of ours. If they would think along the right lines. Cohesion within the race would make the race stronger and powerful, and the race would be able to wield a greater influence politically, religious, and in every way. Then we would have real politicians. We would not have politicians-slinking into the back doors of buildings, you would not have the people being objects of charity, you would not have ministers afraid or disinform to appear before men and women of race and tell them the truth, but you would have face with so much influence and power that could act just as freely, be just as independent in all of their activities as the American white man, or the English white-man, or any other man.

(Signed) GENERAL T. BALTENS helped; and in plain, commonplace language told them the plain truth. The people who have to get out and bear the burden and the heat of the day—those are the people that are suffering most from the oppression of the white man, and those are the people that the Hon. Marcus Garvey had in mind when he said that certain types of leaders were as a millstone around the race's neck. He meant that you had a type of leader leading you this would be just as successful in their leading as a man leading an army as a millstone around his neck. They have been leading you upward, and you have been going downward. And I feel we have gone a long way in setting the Negro right on the religious question. We have gone a long way in setting the Negro right as to the opinion hold of him and the destiny that would be carved. out for him by the white man. There are some men of the Southlands that declare they would rather live there in spite of lynching, in spite of hell, than anywhere else in the world. They would rather live in America or under the British flag than under a flag of their own. There are some Negroes so devoid of race pride and race consciousness that they have more respect for any other race than the Negro race. But, I reloiced that the Hom. Negroes Garvey has burrowed into the hearts of black men and made them glorify black. (Applause.) The Other Fellow Knows The other fellow knows that if the Negro feels his mind on nationhood, then nationhood will come to pase.

ROYAL WELCOME FOR MR. GARVEY IN THE WEST INDIES WE are sure the readers of The Negro World and the members generally of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, have read with absorbing interest and pardonable pride of the royal welcome which President-General Marcus Garvey received at every point in the West Indies which he touched on the way, from New Orleans, in spite of the churlish attitude of the American authorities at the Panama Canal, and especially at Kingston. The people gave him more than an ovation, and the British authorities at Kingston rendered a splendid part in shaping the tremendous reception so as to cause the least friction and to insure the greatest success. Mr. Garvey's first address at Kingston, as reproduced in The Negro World of December 21, was a masterpiece of oratory, discovering the infinite sympathy which the speaker feels in the misfortunes of the Negro people everywhere, with a masterful determination to do what he can to better those misfortunes. Mr. Garvey spoke as a British subject, bound to obey its laws, but he was unafraid and would stand for the rights of the Negro as best he could. He enunciated a great principle, applicable wherever the Negro finds himself subject to the rule of others, when he said: "There is no need to be disloyal. All the people of Jamaica want to do is to seriously understand and know themselves, and as British subjects to know that they have rights that the British government is bound to respect when you intelligently represent those rights to them. I shall not have any scruples in presenting those rights." And we are sure he will be heard. It is written in the stars. EAST INDIA DETERMINED TO BE FREE WHEN nations reach the conclusion that they are better than their neighbors, and that they have a divine right to rule others without their consent, as well as themselves, they sow dragon teeth which are sure to spring up as if by magic at the psychologic moment and plague them. That is the fact. It was conclusively demonstrated in the outcome of the World War, when the Hohenzollern, the Hapsburg and the Romannoff dynasties, not only died masty, as the world plainly spells, but were wiped off the map of sovereigns. They sought through a long series of years to impress upon the other States of Europe, and the States of Asia and Africa, that Germany, Austria and Russia were better than their neighbors and could order the governments of others to do as they commanded, whether they were so minded or not. What was the outcome of it? The governments of Germany, Austria and Russia, and their small allies, were so bitter and crippled by dismemberment and reorganization as to change the map of Europe, as it was changed as the outcome of the Napoleonic wars. It has always been that way. It will always be that way. Nations must have proper respect for the rights of other nations or they will pay for violation of the principle in the long run. Learning nothing by the failure of Germany and her allies, the English-speaking nations, including the United States, have decided upon a concert of action by the logic of events rather than by predetermination, that they are better than other nations and that they will rule those nations and races which have been forced under their flags as they please and without giving the subject peoples any self-determination and participation in their governments. The United States takes that attitude in Haiti and the Philippines and Great Britain takes it in East India and her African colonies and in the West Indies. The policy is working none too smoothly anywhere. There is unrest and protest everywhere. During the last days of December the forty-second Indian National Congress convened at Mundras. There were delegates from all parts of India. A resolution was adopted among others, which declares that the goal of the Indian people was complete independence. Another resolution unanimously adopted declared a boycott of the recently appointed commission, under the presidency of Sir John Simon to investigate India, and on which there was not one representative of the Indian people. The attitude of the congress was that "no sane, self-respecting Indian would ever admit Great Britain's claim to be the sole judge of India's political advance." The dye is cast, as far as East India is concerned. And the black subjects of the British West Indies and British Africa are thinking and restless and organizing and protesting against the rule which considers them good enough only in peace to wring taxes out of in restricted forms of labor of the lowest kind and with the smallest wage and as fodder for cannon in times of war. The wise white Britishers in the West Indies, in British Africa and in British East India, sense the danger and are sounding the warnings, but those who should listen appear as Ephraim to be joined to their idols and will not heaf and heed. Truly, "whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." And may the East Indians achieve their independence. No man is good enough to rule another man without his consent. STAND FIRM AND WAVER NOT IN his first message to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association from Kingston, printed in The Negro World of December 17, President-General Marcus Garvey said, among other things: "Rally to Mr. Knox and help him to put over the school and The Negro World. Read The Negro World and be informed." How else can we be informed except by reading The Negro World? It is the heart of the association from which its stood. If you do not lead the body properly there will be inferior blood; the paper cannot function as you want it to and as President General Marcus Garvey wants it to. Certainly, those of us who know can testify that Mr. Knox is doing a man's work in seeking to make effective the wishes of President General Garvey and the loyal membership of the association. He is on the job early and late and the people are responding to his efforts with aplendid enthusiasm. That is what is needed. No half-hearted enthusiasm is going to be of service to Mr. Knox or get the association anywhere. West Indians are making good and useful citizens in all parts of the United States. They are making their way in the schools and in the thought and work of the country which commands respect. They know the value of good positions of service as well as the development of independent business enterprises, and they are making the most and not the least of the opportunities open to them or which they can open. The better citizen they make the more they earn, the bigger business ventures they carry through the more helpful can they be in helping to carry out the vital purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. And don't forget the Universal Liberty University on the James River. There is plenty of good work ahead for all of its graduates. CRISIS IN THE "BACK TO PALESTINE" MOVEMENT ALL-THE world, especially the Christian world for sentimental reasons rather than any other, are interested in the Zionist Movement, the Back to Palestine Homeland Movement, which has occupied much of the public interest for years. A great many Christians believe that the Jews will return and build the waste palaces of Palestine when the Lord their God calls them to do so, and that any effort they may make to return without such a call will end in failure. There are many other Christians who believe that there will be no physical rebuilding of Palestine and that the gathering will be in a spiritual way in another country than the Land of Canaan, and the City of New York appears to be nearer a rehabilitation of the Jewish people than any other place on earth. Certainly it is that the Greater New York appears to be destined to be dominated by the Jewish people. Their spiritual and physical growth here has been phenomenal in the past half a century. We may have the New Jerusalem among us and not know it. Publication has just been made of the fact that the Palestine movement has reached a crisis, but there need be nothing alarming in this fact, as crises come in the progress of every great movement. They are to be expected, however unwelcome. It appears that there are 150,000 Jews in Palestine and 700,000 Arabs, and there is no very good blood between the two races. The Arabs consider Palestine as their country and resent the Jewish claims as without foundation, and as they are in the majority and dominate in everything as far as the British authorities will allow them, they make it very uncomfortable for the Jewish minority. There are some 4,000 Jewish working people out of employment and some 3,600 are being paid doles of $1.25 per week. There have been waves of Jewish refugees into Palestine during the past year, fleeing from Semitic persecution in Poland and other East European countries, and this with the taxing policy of the British authorities, and the conduct of some rich Jews, who do not hesitate to take advantage of the misfortunes of their brethren, is said to be the immediate cause of the crisis in Palestine. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New York does not think the affairs of the Zionist Movement have been conducted in a business way like way, but that it has been inadequate and ineffective. Meanwhile persecution of the Jews in Poland and other East European countries has grown in violence and deadly effect, so that the harassed Jews do not know which way to turn for a haven of safety. The persecuted Negro, can afford to sympathize with the persecuted Jew. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS More and more the white man will find that it is safer to connect only God, and fair laws; for under the bright sunlight of publicity he will find it impossible to dodge these laws himself, and apply them to the other follow.

Family Life Not Breaking Says Rabbi Wise Family life is not breaking down in this modern age, in the opinion of Right Stephen S. Wise, "addressing the Free Synagogue yesterday morning in Carnegie Hall, but is only discarding certain forms for newer and perhaps better usages. He admitted that the old idea of the family an a sorridid group has been replaced by that of a group of individuals. The domination of "everybody in the family by everybody else" has passed, he said, and this is "not an unmixed cause of sorrow." "The old family recognized no such thing as privacy of intellect or of spiritual life." Dr. Wise went on. "It is quite natural that children who go from the home to school and college should absorb new ideas. I am convinced however, that they will not abandon the best things in family life but will rather add to them." Referring to companionate marriage, he said: "If Judge Lindsey had his way, family life would be replaced by childless marriages. Only the exceptional marriage of the future would result in children. But I feel no worry on this point, because I believe the younger generation does not regard it very highly. There is no chance of the companionate marriage plan being successful." Avalanche Buries 24 Japanese Students TOKIO, Japan (A.P.) - A dispatch from Nagano to Amrita Minimum says that a party of university students on a climbing expedition were caught in an avalanche.

Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. W. The deportation of Garvey was the least that his enemies could do to him. Madame Mary, Church Terrell, admitted one of the bravest women in these United States, aptly remarks that they deported Garvey, but they could not deport his ideas. What appeared to be at one time in the nature of a tragedy may yet prove to be a divine plan for the furtherance of his great work. Selah! MORE COPIES OF THE NEGRO WORLD MUST BE PRINTED For many weeks now The Negro World has been running an advertisement appealing especially to the secretaries of the U. N. I. A. Divisions to enter a subscription content designed to increase appreciably its already wide circulation. This contest is due to close on February 29, which means that the entrants must exert themselves now if they want to be the kind of success that things of this nature usually are in the U. N. I. A. The Negro World serves the Universal Negro Improvement Association more than it does any other interest, and is therefore justified in expecting from it the ultimate in helpful cooperation. Let ALL divisions and chapters of the association do their utmost in assisting the business department toward making this contest an unqualified success. By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Seriousness of Rheumatism She William Willcox, speaking before the Royal Sanitary Institute in England, recently, said that rheumatism was "the most dangerous and destructive of all human diseases." Chronic rheumatic troubles cause more loss of time and money among working people and employers in England than any other disease, he said. In addition to the waste thus caused and the fact that rheumatism in itself is a serious disease and causes a great deal of suffering, the after effects may result in heart disease and chronic ill-health. Heart disease is one of the most serious and most frequent of the after-effects of acute rheumatic infections in young children. It is in the cause of more diseased hearts than all other causes combined. It is a frequent cause of "damaged hearts" among all people. One of the best safeguards against rhinotism and heart disease is to have a yearly health examination. Go to a competent physician once every year and have a complete looking over. He may discover foot of infection which, if not removed, may result in rheumatism or heart disease. He will also advise you how to correct physical defects and will tell you how to keep in A-1 condition. Have your children examined once a year also. This is especially important, if they have attacks of tonsillitis, rheumatism in any form, including "growing palms", chorea, or St. Vittus' dance, as it is popular known. Eat Apples This is the season when apples are prevalent in the market. We rejoice to see them because juicy, tasty apples appeal to most of us. Why not get the habit of eating apples? They are excellent for the health. They have definite food value and are certainly agreeable to the taste. Eat them raw and eat them cooked for a change occasionally if you like. Eat them now. Eat them all winter. Eat them the year round. It is a good thing to eat them at night before going to bed. Apples and all fresh fruits should be included in the diet because they are sources of mineral salts, sugar, cellulose and vitamins, all of which are valuable to the system in supplying energy and 'tissue-building' materials. Practically all fruits have laxative properties. Include some fresh fruit in your diet every day. During the winter season when fresh fruit may be scarce or expensive eat canned or dried fruits which can be stewed and made into appetizing dishes. But eat fruit in some form every day. Madame M. L. T. de Mena to Wed. Dr. Milton T. Ebimber The Negro World is pleased to announce the forthcoming marriage, at 4 p.m., the 15th inst., at Liberty Hall, New York, of Madame M. L. T. de Mena, Assistant International Organizer of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to Dr. Milton T. Edlumber, A. C. A., of Cameron, North Africa. Dr. Edlumber attended medical school in Berlin, Germany, and is now completing a year's work at Columbia University, New York. He is an accomplished linguist, speaking German, Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, Spanish and English, besides several African dialects. He attended school three years in Japan and two years in Africa. Minster blinded and twenty-nine has passed into history, and since it is traditional to review our triumphs and failures each outgoing year, that we may better plan and work for the future, the writer pleases. In an exquisite the diagrams and friends of african nationalism of last years successes, the year has been a distraction one for the association's high point being reached in a healthier attitude of Negroent towards our flung program and popular respect and profound admiration for the Hon. Marcus Garyey, its indomitable founder and president-general. Our perseverance and unstoppable seal in the cause we hold so dear brought us moral victories that were conspicuous for the sources from whence they emanated. The crowning achievement of course is forcibly manifested in the Thanksgiving release of our leader from Atlanta prison by President Coelidge, who it is only fair to restate here; made his commutation order unconditional—quite a glorious culmination of the untiming efforts of his devoted followers and friends the world over. Africa in the Limelight Strangely enough, and in striking contrast to its policy before Garvey started the world with the cry of "Africa for the Africans," the Negro press in 1927 printed more news about Africa and Africans than it did during any single year since its inception. The map of Africa was proudly displayed in three of our foremost papers and editorial comment on Africa and plans of the imperialists to encourage or destroy the aspirations of her people was most marked. A brazen attempt was made by the N. A. A. C. P. to steal the thunder of the U. N. I. A. Du Bois' "Pan African Congress" came to Hardem, there being, by order of Mr. Garvey, no international convention of the U. N. I. A. Releases carrying news of African activities as reported in the "African World" and other native and white journals of South Africa were sent out by the N. A. A. C. P. in a desperate desire to capture the imagination of the masses whom Garvey had awakened, ere Garvey returned. Special mention must be made here of the splendid work done by the press on behalf of Mr. Garvey's release. There was an appreciable increase in the tone and quality of feature articles, special contributions and news releases on African activities in the white press by eminent journalists, statesmen, historians and travelers. Several distinguished writers and publicists disassociated from Garvey and Garveyism gave critical attention to both. Foremost of these was Prof. Kelly Miller, the sage of Howard, whose "After Garvey—what?" attracted attention on four continents. Dean Wm. Parkins, Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. E., one of the petitioners who rescinded Harry M. Daugherty, former attorney-general of the United States to deport Garvey as an undesirable alien, did a right-about-face, wielding his vile pen in such a manner as to leave the impression that he was an unwilling actor in the now notorious drama, "Garvey Must Go." Thoughtful contributions also came from the pen of Mr. J. A. Rogers, author and journalist. The Pittsburgh Courier published several interesting articles on the program and work of the Universal, Negro Improvement Association from the pen of Mrs Amy J. Garvey, wife of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The Rev. Junius-C. Austin of the Pilgrim Baptist Church, Chicago, Ill., eloquently pleaded for a free and redeemed Africa at the last meeting of the National Baptist convention. Addressing a distinguished gathering in the South last summer on his return from an extended vacation in the Orient, Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee made it clear that "the darker races of the world are being welded together to combat the prejudice of white men." Sent to Geneva by the Foreign Association of New York as an unofficial observer of the work of the League of Nations, Dr. Alain Lorey Locke of Howard University and former Rhodes scholar said in an interview on his return last fall: "Intelligent participation in African affairs, constructive help in African reconstruction, will eventually be the Negro-American's world duty. . . . It seems to me that nothing is more reprehenzable in our race life today than the comparative lack of knowledge and interest about Africa." In Africa the Universal Negro Improvement Association has made inroads into the cultural and political aspirations of the natives to such an extent that the white overlords have been constrained to adopt reformative measures to appease the growing demand for a square deal. And because of the exercise of stricter censorship the whole truth of what is actually taking place in Africa is withheld from us. But the determination of the African at home to keep in close communion with his brethren abroad not infrequently hurdles the limitations placed upon it, and so we know positively that the battle cry of "Africa for the Africans" is swirling the fatherland like a tropical hurricane. Sympathetic Interest of Asia Japan and China continue to talke-keen interest in our work. Their students, scattered throughout the cultural centers of the universe, imbibing the civilizations of other races read The Negro World and "The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey" with avidity. Oriental Journalists and writers devoted much time during the year to an unbilled review of "African Nationalism" as propounded by Marcus Garvey. In Liberia we continue to rise in the esteem of her intelligent citizens who are alive to the future and are silently working to safeguard the sovereignty of their country against the cunning designs of the invader. The most regrettable occurrence of the year under review was the desperate assault on the ideals of democracy with a mob of white devils raided a peaceful meeting of the Chattanooga, Tenn., division, killed, wounded and imprisoned several Garveyites, reputable citizens of the land. So uncivilized was the attack that it inspired a fearless editorial from "The Afro-American" condemning the mob and commending the Garveyites for standing up for their rights under the constitution.

The Morter Will Case An appeal from the ruling of the British Honduras Supreme Court in the celebrated Morter Case involving an equity of almost a quarter of a million dollars in the estate of the late Sir Isaiah Emanuel Morter of Belfast, British Honduras, left the association by him, was argued before the British Privy Council, the highest court of justice within the British realm, the Hon. Francis R. Drasten, K. C., L. L. B., of Belize, appearing on behalf of the association. The ruling of the Privy Council has not yet been made public. In spite of plots and counterplots, in spite of treachery and intrigues the association rushes on like the mighty Amazon, conscious of its strength and undaunted, by the attempts to sap its vitality. Marcus Garvey's deportation to his island home symbolizes his greatest triumph over the prejudice and deceit of white men whom his African program so ostensibly offends. We thank God that they can never deport him from the heart and mind of the new Negro. The white man has dared us to continue our faith in him. He has challenged us to continue our assault on the rape of African. Black men the world over refuse to be intimidated. We accept the challenge without reserve. Africa is ours and we swear by the spirit of our fathers that Africa shall today, tomorrow, and always remain African in government and culture. We take Garvey's deportation as a stern notice from the white man that Black men must not suffer to the glorious heights of nationalism. But we must in turn serve notice on him that Garvey, living or dead, is our patron saint, our supreme leader and counsellor, and that neither the cannon of hats nor the whip of prejudice can ever awake us from our allegiance to him and the great ideal of African nationalism.

Jan 6. Vote for the intelligent only—this amuse was urged by Dr. William J. Hickson, of Chicago, director of the world's largest crime circle, at the Race Bettermore Conference here tonight. "If we continue with a political and social system which takes no account of varying mental endowments," he said, "nothing can be done. If we revise and adapt our institutions in such a way that superior intelligence and exact knowledge can function we will be on the way to ridance from great evils and to immeasurable enrichment of life. "Proportional voting will be a long way toward accomplishing this result. It is working satisfactorily in Europe. I favor the granting of the franchise on the basis of the intelligence quotient." As a result of examining 40,000 criminals over a period of twelve years Dr. Hickson has arrived at the following conclusion: Criminals cannot be reformed. They are constitutionally defective. They are bred from the inferior classes that have more children than the law-abiding superior classes. Modern economic conditions and the era of plenty in which we live allow the criminal producing classes to flourish and people the earth more effectively than ever. The 2 percent of the population that are mentally defective are the 2 percent that become criminals. Yet Dr. Hickson said this small fraction of the population absorbs more than 35 percent of the taxes of the Nation. It keeps the good 38 percent of the population unscary and fearful. Science says mental defectives de- fected in youth shall be prevented from committing crimes by being segregated and that the defectives also be prevented by sterilization or other methods from reproducing their paw kind. That is the cure for crime, in Dr. Hickson's opinion, instead of the present antiquate legal method of exacting an eye for an eye. Punitive methods have failed. The restraint is vanishing. Although the number of Indians still left has not diminished markedly in recent years, the aborigine American race is working out its own salvation by blending its blood with that of the whites. This Dr. Frederick E. Hoffman, insurance statistician of Newark, N. J., told the scientists, is the real solution of the Indian problem. At present well over a third of the Indians are of mixed bloods. Dr. J. H. McCurdy of the American Physical Education Association told the conference that studies of blood pressure show that the heart pumps 40 percent less blood when a person is standing quietly than when he is prone. Here is the explanation of why women grow faint when they stand quietly during a dress fitting and why soldiers at attention keel over. 13,286 New York Residents Get Sporting Licenses Figures revealed at the Municipal Building show that 13,286 New Yorkers and 453 non-residents obtained hunting, fishing or trapping licenses during 1827. Special deer hunting licenses were granted to 726 residents and to ninety-four non-residents. them he must gain the thing he seeks; and he knows that when the day of Africa's redemption is at hand, the day when Negroes are united, that day sees the end of the denial and exploitation of the white man. He knows that the economic program of the whole world will be changed, because Africa is the economic storehouse of the world. Forgetting the reputation of the Negro race for love and sympathy and forgiveness, they fear, that the Negro, fortified with power, may wreak vengeance on his quondam oppressors. That is the fear that goads them on to persecution of Marcus Garvey and the movement he so nobly reared and so ably leads. It is that fear that causes them to oppose, us at every step. But, we have shall have ships and still more ships, as the Hon. Marcus Garvey said a week ago; we shall have industries and still more industries; we shall have factories and still more factories. We know our leader; we have implicit confidence in him; we know the nature and the wills of the enemy with whom he is matching wits, and we shall follow him without any compromise, wholeheartedly, working night and day that Africa shall be redeemed and black men and women shall get their just deserts.

Trimmer, now 93, of Mound City, No., heard of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, he made a vow that he would never shave again and he has never broken his oath. He claims the distinction of being the only person who has not shaved since Lincoln's death, says the Boston Globe. (Continued from page 2) turn of that territory, at least as a mandate. Restoration of German colonies is one of the important questions which will come before the League before long. It was unquestionably for this reason that South Africa, in negotiating a treaty with Portugal over the boundary between Southwest Africa and Angola, declared in the preamble of the agreement that, according to the terms of the mandate, it "possesses sovereignty over the territory of Southwest Africa, formerly under the sovereignty of Germany." The truly was negotiated and signed. The League Council and the Mandates Commission congratulated the South African Government and the Portuguese upon an amenable adjustment. The past was then transmitted to the League for registration and publication, after which it, as a natural sequence, would have become recognized internationally. But through some mysterious—or perhaps not so mysterious, after all—agency, the Mandates Commission was informed of the preamble and South Africa's claim to sovereignty. It happens that there are neutral members on the Permanent Mandates Commission. These men, M. Van Rees of Holland, M. Orte of Belgium; Willim Rumpard, of Switzerland, and Friere d'Andrade of Portugal, also a woman-Mme. Bugge-Wickell, of Sweden, take a personal interest in their task. One of them called the attention of the commission to the sovereignty claim. Perhaps d'Andrade of Portugal, who participated in the negotiation of the pact, had a personal reason for disclosing "inside stuff." At any rate, the clause was challenged and South Africa asked to explain what she meant. In its report to the Council the commission says: "Because of the fundamental principle involved and the importance of this question, we feel obliged to bring it (the treaty) to the attention of the Council again. In the first place, the parallel drawn in the preamble, between the sovereignty assumed by the Union of South Africa over the territory in question, and the sovereignty over that territory previously held by Germany, seems to imply a claim to legal relations between the mandatory power and the territory it administers under its mandate which are not in accordance with the fundamental principles of the mandate system." League Catchers Attempted "Scalai" South Africa was caught, figuratively speaking, with the "goods." And in all fairness, it must be admitted that she made no attempt at an alibi. Even the declaration of the Prime Minister, who had said, in quoting a decision of the Supreme Court, that: "The majesty, or sovereignty, over Southwest Africa resides neither in the principal Allied and Associated Powers, nor in the League of Nations, nor in the British Empire, but in the Government of the Union of South Africa, which has full powers of administration and legislation," was repudiated by the delegation to the League when it was confronted by the final report of the commission and the overwhelming sentiment of the Assembly. As a result, sovereignty over mandated territories does not exist. Likewise, it is recognized that Germany was the last state which did exercise sovereignty. She legally surrendered it under the terms of the Vermont Treaty—but to whom in the question. Should the League cease to exist, these large territories would be legally under the sovereignty of no power, although actually administered by the "quitter" sovereignty" theory. The pledge of equal economic privileges for all countries, exacted by the United States at Vermont when Woodrow Wilson devised the mandate scheme, haphazardly safeguarded at the moment, is in constant danger. Germany desires to secure the return of the territories; the mandate powers will leave no stone unturned to establish their unchallenged rights; the United States and the League of Nations alone can maintain the "open door."

CALLS REBEL MEXICO CITY, Jan. 8.—Augustino Sandino will fight until Nicaragua expels "American soldiers or dies," he writes to Afroylan Turcios in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The message has been relayed to Dr. Pedro Zepeda, envoy of the Nicaraguan revolution, here. It reads: "You may be sure, and you will please make it known to Central America, to the intellectuality, workmen, artisans and to the race in Spanish America, that I will not abandon my attitude until the invaders are expelled from my country. "Nobody better than you can be the faithful spokesman, for our sacred right to defend national sovereignty because your teachings of love for one's country have fructified in the heart of the youth of today love of liberty and independence. Before you knew my attitude and ideas, I felt an affection for you because everything that you wrote aroused my enthrallment. I felt entirely a man. Arriving at this age in my life, I am fortified by your teachings and wish to consolidate the national conscience with the blood of the pirate invaders. "This lesson will serve Central American youth as a prologue in the struggle for the liberty of the weak against the strong and as proof to the world, the civilized world, that the rights of the weak are more sacred than those of the powerful, who in their arrogance disavow them and whose violation should be punished with their blood. "I pledge my military honor that my attitude will not greet in the least the stability, of the government of Honduras nor that of the rest of the sister republic. My acts him solely to defend my race and the sovereignty of my country with proper decorum. "My aspiration strives to end with dignity and nobility all imposition in my country and assassinations of weak peoples. I will make them realize that their crimes will cost them dearly, for there is no right which justified their intervention in our internal affairs. "I expect there will be a bloody combat between us and the conquerors. Nicaragua should not be the patrimony of imperialists. I will fight for my cause as long as my heart heats. And if through decency I should lose my army, which I do not believe, there are in my arsenal two tons of dynamite. "This I will explode with my own hand.

The building was rented to standing correctly in the middle basement. The evening was quiet and the cold north winds refused to blow its regular bitter chill. Early Christmas morning was observed by divine services conducted by Mr. J. Ewen, when a fair gathering resisted the temptation of lying in bed, and fought the cold morning air so as to attend this first serve in the celebration of the day. At three o'clock the division entertained a bigger audience at their Christmas Carol function. Mr. R. A. Martin, was chairman, and the lady president of the division presided at the organ. The chairman in a short but brilliant speech, briefly narrated the incidents connected with the life of Christ, and then the choir opened the program with a song entitled, "Gladly the Trumpet Sounds" after which Master Debut Thompson responded with a peroration, "Christmas in the Air." Both pieces won the applause of the audience, and Mistress W. Chambers followed with an appropriate reading of an editorial in the Negro World. Other numbers rendered weeps the recitations of Master Kennedy Waters and Misses M. W. Wilson, Esmeralde Sterling, M. Thomas, Abina McKenzie, Albertha Powell, Hazel McLean, Anna Rosa, Wilson and Violet Reik. At the close of this service all seemed to be refreshed with the spirit of Garveyism and returned to a great number in the mass meeting, where several speakers addressed the congregation on matters that tend to enhance the interest of the Negro everywhere. The duet of M. McCarthy, Gordon and W. Reid was well rendered, also the recitation of Seydra Thompson, Thomas Campbell and the Miss Peters, Mrs. F. Hutchinson and Mr. R. Constable gave a sing and a solo respectively. The children of the Liberty Hall school had a breaking-up concert on the night of December 23. "Though quite a few guardians attended the entertainment yet the little ones were not the least affected, and gave ample satisfaction to those present. Those were thrills of interest and warm enthusiasm from start to finish recognized by the several appeals for encore." Their favorite poems were "Where Does the Money Go?" a poem by the teacher, "Encouraging a Scholar" and "Christmas Prayer in Scotland," plays written and arranged respectively by the same gentleman. The division thinks that every help should be given these little folks as the mark of scholarship is on them. CON ADJ. HOWLTT, Reporter. ELIA, CAM., CUBA The Eina Division of the U. N. L. A. has taken courage at receiving news of the release of our dear leader, Hon. Margaret G. Olsen. We have been conducting a series of meetings on behalf of our leader's release. But of June 15, a thankfulness service was held when we learned that he had been freed and had landed safely in Jamaica. Our Liberty Hall was strung to its capacity with Ngoe people who lived in to drink in the happy news. The general attendance was quite good of the freedom of Hon. Marcel Garvey. Our rostrum was occupied by our full staff of officers. We celebrated choral chanted "Shine on Electronic Light" as the crowd lined in. The divine service was conducted by Mr. W. McNaill, chapman.

After Honin No. 64 from the Ritual was, song, President, D. Erasmus Chorpe, master of ceremonies, read the Ensign of the constitution. That having been done, the president opened the program with a very inspiring address, taking as his topic 'The Tiger Let Loose.' In the course of the address he pointed out many things pertaining to leadership, which received great applause. In conclusion, he read an article from the Hawaii Post which informed us of the departure of the President-General to Jamaica, and the reception given him. Chorpe rang from all points of the hall, leaving all present with bright faces, ready to drink in the rest of the program. The other items on the program were as follows: President-General's Hymn, by the congregation; song, "Hall, Hall, Hall Day," by juvenile choir; recitation, "Words of Welcome," by Master L.

A vote of thanks having been given to all, the second vice-president, Miss E. R. B. Barnett, and gave the closing address, after which the closing hymn was sung. After a prayer by the chaplain and the singing of the Ethiopian National Autumn, the meeting was closed. It is hoped that all those who were keeping out of the organization because of the incarceration of the Hom. President-General will, without reluctance, again throw in their loss with the rank and title and work harder than they have worked before. May Heaven bless our cause and continue to direct the honest and true leadership of our dear captain-general, the Hon. Murray M. Garvey. Young for racial uplift. HUGH A. MATHISON, Reporter.

This we appreciate, and we are very proud of them, because they are the Columbus Division of tomorrow. Many members were afraid Mr. Garvey would never be paraded and gave up hope. Now they return like stray sheep. We that have been faithful and tried to carry on the work until now, doing the best that he could keep our Division together will be rewarded for brave and faithful soldiers.
