Hon. Marcus Garvey Comes Back Strong In Retort To White Editor Of London Newspaper
Fellow-Men of the Negro Race; Greeting: It is a pleasure always to write to you conveying the latest news and developments in the world as they affect the Negro and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in particular.
The White Man at His Game
One of the members of the Association in London, England, has just sent me a clipping taken from a late edition of a large English weekly paper known as the "News of the World," published in London. The clipping purports to be a news article written up for the paper by some white man and Negro hater: The article is supposed to be a report of my arrival in Jamaica and is headed thus: "Dusky Crook Arrived at Native Home; Received as a Prince, but He Is a Crook." The matter that follows this goes on to show how I swindled 40,000 Negroes of the Black Star Line out of $1,000,000; that I made promise of establishing an African Empire; that I created Dukes, Barons and Knights by selling them honors in this empire; that I never bought any ships but had two tubs—yet they were illogical enough to state in another part of the article that I had a yacht and that I lived aboard with a harem of twenty-four women; that I had taken millions from the black race to improve their condition, etc.; that I wore fantastic robes and regalia which appealed to the ignorant Negroes. So much for the vicious lies and statements of "The News of the World," but let us go into facts to see the thieving and living white man as we line him.
What We Know
Every stockholder in the Black Star Line knows that the Black Star Line would have been a going and successful business today were it not for the tricks and practices of white men who laid the plans to break up the company, as they did not want black men to operate ships in competition with them for the trade of Africa, South and Central America, the United States and the West Indies. These whites paid millions of dollars to smash up the company and dishearten the Negroes. Their chief game was to lie to the Negroes in every part of the world, as "The News of the World" is now doing; so as to get the people in a distrustful mood by which they calculated they could prevent the support necessary going to the company. They planned to hold me up to criminal ridicule so as to weaken my leadership which they feared, and so in keeping with this they opened the floodgates of journalistic criticism against me. But let us analyze their criticism.
Who Is the White Man Fooling?
How is it that I could have robbed a $1,000,000 from the stockholders of the Black Star Line, when it is a fact that the money subscribed by the stockholders of the Black Star Line was used to buy its ships, the Yarmouth, Kanawha, Shady Side and Orion. The first three ships were owned by the Black Star Line and millions saw them in active operation. The Orion was never delivered by the U. S. Shipping Board, although they have kept the $25,000 paid them as the first installment, and which white sharks are trying to rob from the corporation by railroading me out of America so that I could take no steps to recover it for the people.
Garvey's Only Reward
All that I ever received as salary from the Black Star Line the entire time I was president was about $3,500, as the court record at my trial showed. I was the largest investor in the Black Star Line, having more than two thousand dollars paid up shares.
The Properties of the Black Star Line
The Black Star Line owned property in New York City paid for by the money of the corporation. It paid its expenses to run and manage the ships, and the court

Shows How He Was Railroaded to Prison-Then Rushed Out of the United States While the Properties of the Organization Were Stolen
WHITE "LOGIC"WOULD MAKE HIM "EAT-HIS CAKE AND HAVE IT"
record shows that every penny taken in was spent for the promotion and development of the company. No one knows these facts better than the white liars and thieves who have written against me. If the money of the corporation went to buy ships and run them, as everybody knows, how in the name of reason and goodness could I have robbed the people of the same and very amount of money? Can a man eat his cake and have it at the same time? No one knows better that this cannot be than the lying white man, but he is such a liar and thief that he will stop at nothing to defame those of other races who are making an effort to free themselves from his greed, graft, lies and thievery.
The World's Great Liar
This list has stolen the whole world from other people and now he has the nerve to accuse me of robbing my own people. What Negro is there in the world who has not been robbed by the white man? From the time of Cain and Abel white men have been murdering and robbing other men. If the white man wants a history of his robbery, I will accommodate his writing if for him.
What right has he in Negroes affairs, but to rob and exploit them? The whole world knows that. So when liars like the editor of "The News of the World" spread such falsehoods across their papers, the Negro knows well how to value it.
Dukes, Barons and Knights
I am accused of creating Dukes, Barons and Knights. Who gave the white man a monopoly on creating social orders? No Dukes nor Barons were born out of Heaven, but they are all man-made, and if one race can make them to suit their own purposes, another has the similar right. The white man is crazy or drunk to believe that he owns the world, God and man. They make effort to laugh at my robes and the regalia of the organization. Why won't they start at home and laugh after the robes and regalia of their own race, their bishops, priests, college professors, etc.? You idiots, do you think you can still fool the world as you once fooled the North American Indian, the Australian barbarian and the ancient African?
Lying About Marcus Garvey
You may lie about Marcus Garvey, but you will convince no Negro that he ever robbed a penny from him in all his life. You are cowards to stab me as you have always done your enemies and opponents behind their backs.
False Propaganda
You first raised a false propaganda about me to defuse me; when that did not succeed, you corrupted and hung over twenty per cent of my employees. When you found that they had no information to sell on which you could destroy me, you framed me up and sent me to your prison.
an institution that was invented for your own race. When you found out that imprisoning me did not cause black men to lose confidence in me, you had to release me, for the sentiment for my cause was growing stronger each day. Then after my release you have started the old game of lying again. Are you not ashamed of yourselves, crooked white men?
Railroaded Out of America
Why did you not allow me to go back to New York to fight you in your own Federal Courts and get returned to the Negroes the beautiful ship General G. W. Goethals, that you lied and called a tub, and which is one of the best ships afloat today owned by the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company which you robbed from the race by a trick, and by bribing the unfaithful men I left behind when you sent me to prison? This was the trick you played: You inveigled the disloyal and foolish men who assumed charge of the company when you railroaded me to Atlanta to keep all information of their activities away from me, and then you got them to sign up for a cargo of small tonnage to be removed to Miami. After the fools signed the contract, you delivered to the ship just about five tons of cargo and then went around the commercial area and influenced other shippers not to give the ship cargo so that they would not have a full cargo to go to Miami or any other point in that direction. You know that a 5,000-ton ship could not go to sea with five tons of cargo without a tremendous loss. When the ship did not soil according to your planned contract, you libelled her and had your own white court to order the case damages, and your own white marshal sold the ship to the people who made the contract with my disloyal sentatives; and the ship that two months before we bought cash from your race, and refuted at a cost of $250,000, you robbed from us at the marshal's sale for $25,000, plus weeks afterward you sold it to another white man for $90,000, when the cargo you put aboard was not valued at $5,000.
Now, white than, who is the chief and crook—you or Marcus Garvey? You deported me so that I could not recover in the Federal Courts, as you know well that I was held a federal prisoner in Atlanta during the period of your tricks and since I was no party to them, as president, director and bondholder of the court, could have sued for recovery of the ship in a federal court. In the same way you robbed the organization and the race of our Liberty Hall, New York, and our Liberty Hall, Pittsburgh, an asset of $170,000. You also stole our office buildings and publishing plant at 52-54-56 West 135th street, New York, an asset of $80,000. All this along with the $25,000 in the hands of the United States Shipping Board could have been recovered for the people, yet you rushed me out of America so as to allow white men to gobble up the money, then you have the nerve to call me a "Dusky Crook." If I am a dusky Crook, white man, what do you call yourself and what do you think the world of black, brown and yellow men think of you? You have also tried to cause us to lose the legacy left to the organization by Sir Isaiah Morter, a black man of Belize, British Honduras, an estate of nearly $250,000. I need say no more for the present, but I feel sure that there is no Negro in the world that will allow himself to be fooled by white men like editors of "The News of the World."
With very best wishes for success.
I have the honor to be
Your obedient servant.

What Christmas Means To the Negro Explained by Hon. Marcus Garvey To Great Holiday Throng In Jamaica
According to 20th Century Characterization, Christ Was a Negro—A Man of Colored Blood, Whose Philosophy Is the Greatest of All Time—The Great Master Mind, He Came to Redeem All Mankind
GREAT LEADER DETERMINED TO REMOVE POVERTY AND DIRT AND DISEASE OF HIS FELLOWMEN
Hits Absence of Christian Charity of Those Who Profess to Be Followers of Christ—Rich Live in Plenty, While Families of Eight Occupy a Single Room—Will Fight Relentlessly for Square Deal
One of the outstanding events of Christmas Day in the island of Jamaica, British West Indies, was a solemn mass meeting held in the Ward Theatre, Kingston; under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The spacious auditorium was filled to the doors, the people of Kingston turning out in full force to hear their special Christmas message from the lips of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, famous black champion of the cause of the Negro peoples of the world.
Christmas Day in the West Indies is an occasion of great solemnity, the performance of religious rites being the prime consideration of the people, who reserve their merry-making for "Boxing Day," the day after Christmas. Every cathedral, every chapel in every city and village of the Caribbean is filled to the doors on Christ's natal day with devout and prayerful thousands, who, no matter what their delinquencies in church-going may be during the rest of the year, regard it as an unmissable duty to convene on December 25th before the altar, of God and sing hosannahs in congregation. This fact made all the more remarkable the avid desire of the people to flock to the Ward Theatre in their hundreds at an early hour to be present at the Christmas Day meeting of which the great protagonist of African redemption was the central figure. It was truly an eye-opener for Jamaica, a silent reminder to the world of the firm hold Garveyism has taken in the minds of men, a fitting climax to the series of welcome manifestations of the people of Jamaica, joying in the presence among them of their chieftain. Tradition and custom and religious ardor waited on Garveyism.
But nothing of the spirit of the day was lacking for the thousands who thronged the great theatre. In his opening words the Hon. Marcus Garvey struck the religious keynote: "This is Christmas," he said, "and this is Sunday, and I desire to speak to the Negro people on the subject, 'What Christmas means to you.' It is a pleasure for me to do so, because there seems to be a great deal of misunderstanding of what Christmas means. Before I enter upon my subject, I want you all to recite the Apostles' Creed." The audience recited the Creed, after which Mr. Garvey began his address.

Hon. Morcus Carvay's Address.
Mr. Carvay said: "Your mat; 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 in Chief is Lord.
"And occupy therewith with God the Angel a minister to the heavenly host plaining God to my neighbor.
"They be to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will beende."
"In these worries," he continued, "the 216th Angel nearly two thousand years ago greeted the shepherds of Bithloth—on that day was born into the world a Christ—the greatest being that ever come forth in the form of man. He came into the world with the one object of having the souls of men. He was long locked in, by a certain race and by a certain class of people, who believed that he was going to establish a temporal and political kingdom that would receive them.
The people who were looking for him
They were experiencing a man parody of
the Hebrew or strewth type, or trenure.
They were looking for a typical Jew.
Unfortunately for them, they were dis-
appointed in seeing a dog according
to the world; born to be called the
Prince of Denmark; born to be called
the King of Khiles, who looked like
the Negroes of today.
Christ of Colored Blood.
"In America the man who has any
colored blood in his veins is reigned
on a Negro—and of course Christ yawn
not especially a Negro in the accepted term of being a black man; but Christ was a Negro in the interpretation of the 20th century characterization of Negro. He was a man of color blood. Christ to have been Christ could not have been of any particular race; otherwise he could not be the Reberon of gibaldin. (Applause). Christ was the embodiment of all humanity. He was not such a Monolith as a Canadian and he was Appeon. The idea of Christ being a black man is simply being gibaldized in keeping with the idea of white men taking Him white. (Applause). The Ando Sapon has made Him a predecessor and very nine type of Christ, the German has made Him the Teutonico type; and therefore the Christ as the modern interpretation goes would have to be of our type; the Christ of the Italian would have to be a buanneet, and so the Christ of the Negro must be black. Christ came to save all mankind. He, therefore, took in everything that was human, from white to black—and everything between.
The Great Master Mind
"Christ stands out today in the world of thought as the great master mind. I pray, the great master mind, because there is no other master mind equal to Christ. In the philosophies (thought of the world) he stands out as the heaven light. In the course of the world's history we have had many theories and dogmas, but when we investigate them and compare them all there in only one, one philosophy, and that is the Christian philosophy, and that is the philosophy of Christ. We
have had the philosophy of Epicurus which taught us of pleasure. We also have the philosophy of the state, who reduced everything to self-control, the regulation of self is mind. Then there was the philosophy of Plato whose idea was the subordination of the lower to the higher for the good, of the state. Then there was the philosophy of Aristotle, and the Aristotlean philosophy dealt with the sense of all proportions. But all these philosophies were before Christ, and when He came He an nounced His philosophy, which has traveled down through all the ages. He gave to us a program which was imbued with the true spirit of love by which we can safely abide. It is a program which appeals to you; it is a program which appeals to me. Nowhere in human society can you find anything more appealing than the philosophy which Christ enunciated on the Mount. I will only recite twelve points—there are many others.
From the Sarmon on the Mount
1. And seeing the multitudes He went up into a mountain; and when he was set His disciples came unto Him.
2. And He opened His mouth and taught them saying:
"3. Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
"4. Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.
"5. Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth.
"6. Blessed are they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.
"7. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
"8. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
"9. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.
"10. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness, sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven:
"11. Blessed are ye, when men shall pay ye your and persuade you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
"12. Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in Heaven, for no persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Love and Charity To All
"On that platform" continued Mr. Carvey. "I stand this afternoon, and this Christmas of 1827. We who are members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, following the principles laid down by Christ, desire to extend love, charity and sympathy to our fellow men (applause). And, oh, how necessary that is for a place like Jamaica at this particular time. Men and women. I came to Kinston just a little over a week ago. It is little over ten years since I have left the island. I had painful memories of Jamaica all the while. It was these painful memories that really made me work so hard because I had something to show. From these painful memories I stepped forward and looked forward to all black humanity of America, Africa and the West Indies.
If Christ Came to Jamaica
"When I came back to Kingston two Saturday morning, I thought things had brightened up a bit. Tolmie looked to me just like little-impossible—but, can you imagine, when I left Kingston at 2 o'clock on Friday last for Port Antonio, I saw people on the way, dirty and deceived. Oh, my friend, you must realize that something is wrong in Dammam, but in Jamaica. How many people who live in Jamaica—and well in Jamaica happy—who see much money around and yet do nothing for their fellow men? Yet they call themselves Christians. If Christ came to Jamaica today, what a right he would see among the bloody! I encourage you that there would be many changes.
Heart-rending Condition of the Poor
"The condition of the poor man and the poor woman relieves me, and yet against the poverty which prevails you have the very type I speak of hounding up all the rights of the land. Do you remember the experience of reformers who tried to help the people lower down—people whose condition made them preferable dead than alive? Do you know why they despise those who help the poor people? The reason is because they profit when the people remain in such a condition; but really what profit can they get out of diseased humanity? You in Kingston don't really see what is going on. It is your own kith and kin and blood in the country who are suffering. Outside my wife, I have no close relative in the world, and I could provide for myself, apart from being in the organization. Personally, if I cared, I could rest from the duties of President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I have the ability to earn as much out of life as any man can. (Applause.) I do not depend on my office for a living. I am in it because I just must help to relieve the black men of the world. It is because of their selfishness and envy which induced many of my enemies to write against me in the newspapers, but, despite what they write, the spirit of my dead father rises up and tells me: "You must go on!" (Applause.)
Duty to Go On
You, I must go on, because it is somebody's duty to lead—it is somebody's duty to help to carry the crowd of black humanity, and the responsibility which has been placed on me is due to the fact that I know the condition of the Negro. I have been to different parts of the world and have studied the condition of the Negro, distinguished on page 58.
Negro Boy, 13. Honored As Here in Saving Train
SWEDENBORG, M. J. Jan. 22. Richard Overby, a thirteen-year-old Negro boy, was the guest of honor at a mass meeting in the Swedesboro High School today and received two passes of money for having prevented a train wreck last Thursday.
The lad, who is a student at the school, listened to speeches by Lewis K. Marr, superintendent of the West Jersey and Seaside Railroad, and Mayor A. A. Hunter, of Swedesboro. Then he spoke himself. He referred to his discovery of a broken rail and told how he had flagged a Camden-bound express at Tivy station with a red tablecloth.
More than 360 school children, members of the Kilwani Club and other visitors cheered at the conclusion of his brief talk. Then Mr. Marr gave the boy two purses, the value of which was not mentioned, one from the railroad and the other from the seventy passengers on the train.
The school was dismissed for the afternoon in order that the students might march to the building for the ceremony.
FRANCE SENDING SCIENTISTS TO CLEANSE AFRICA
Calls for 33 Doctors and Scientists to Head Big Expedition to Rid French Colony of Deadly Tsetse Fly
PARIS, Jan. 23—The organization of a great expedition to fight sleeping sickness in French equatorial Africa was announced today by the government. Thirty-three French physicians and scientists, functioning through the Dactour institute, will devote five years to combatting the disease and attempting to rid the colonies of the fatal tissue fly.
Accompanying the decree authorizing the expedition was a letter from Leon Berrier, Minister of Colonies, to President Dumougne, declaring that the present conditions in Africa made necessary special efforts to stamp out sleeping sickness above all other diseases.
Conditions Grow Worse
The midlabor said sanitary conditions had become worse, due to the concentration of native labor in connection with railroad building. He suggested that, owing to the hazardous nature of the task and the length of service necessary, special awards be offered to those who volunteered. This was provided in the decree issued by the president, M. Porter said he had supported the expedition after completion with the Pentagon Institute and that the director of the institute branch at Branxville had named a technical advisor for the expedition, installation in the expedition is open to bath army and civilian scientists. The decree signed by President Ducommune fines the size of the party at ten _physicians_, top hygienists, one veterinarian and twelve hospital attendants, all Europeans, and 105 natives. While the salaries are not unusually high, 18,000 francs a year for the physicians, and 12,000 and 15,000 for the other classes—they are offered many immunities from tation and allowances for their families.
Imply Fight to a Finish
In addition they will be given a bonus of 10,000 francs after two years' service, 20,000 after four years, and 60,000 if they cannot for an additional two years' service. The job clause incidentally, implies that the government intends to keep the expedition in operation longer than the original two years mentioned in the decree. The volunteers must pay three months in study at the Pasteur Institute in Paris or at the branch at Brunaville. They must enlist for two years' continuous service, followed by a vacation of six months, and then for another two years without interruption.

'SENSIBLE JUDGE' IS HARDY. FOR THE DEFENDANT IS NOT-GARVEY
New York World Praises California Judge for Not Trying Murderer When His Impartiality Is Questioned
BUT CONSIDER GARVEY CASE
Judge Mack, Member of N. A. A. C. P., Escaped Criticism When He Stuck to Bench Over Garvey's Protest
It is now a matter of common knowledge throughout the world, in spite of the silence of the white press on the subject, that Judge Julian Mack, who presided over the famous (or rather infamous) trial of Marcus Garvey for "using the United States mails to defraud," is and was at the time of the trial a member and stanch financial supporter of the N. A. A. C. P, which means National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (in America).
It is also well known that the N.A. A. C.P., through its Negro officers, was the most implacable enemy of the man Marcus Garvey and his work, two of its officers, William Pickens, Field Secretary, and Robert Eagall, Director of Branches, affixing their names to a vile letter to the now notorious Daugherty, then Attorney General of the United States, asking him to silence Garvey.
It is also well known that Marcus Garvey, at the outset of his trial, asked Judge Mack to give way to another as presiding judge on the ground that, being a member of an enemy coterie, he could not pass on the issues impartially. "To which request Judge Mack gave a ready and decisive NO.
It was, therefore, with more than ordinary interest that Negroes must have read an editorial, headed "A Sensible Judge," which appeared in The New York World on January 27th. The New York World, you may know, is a powerful white New York newspaper, considered one of the strongest dailies in the United States of America. It makes a brave show now and then of being "liberal" toward Negroes on matters of small import. During the trial of Marcus Garvey, and as recently as two months ago, the New York World was foremost among white newspapers which tried to hold up Marcus Garvey and his organization to ridicule and to wilfully him.
It now seems that the New York World, great defender of the weak, knew all along that Mack did not act "in the interest of public justice" when, against all common sense, he "passed on his own impartiality," which was questioned by Garvey.
Said the New York World on January 27:
"The motion of Judge Coulson S. Henry of Collincoln in refraining from the trial of William Edward Nickman because his impracticality had been impeded will commend itself to meet who give thought to such matters. Just such an justice was raised here as van railed in behalf of Secco and Vanscott, the two Italian radicals who were recently executed for murder. Throughout the extended legal proceedings which marked, that case, although his official utterances had caused the soberest citizens to protest that he was biased, and although his unofficial utterances provoked a rebel from the commission which reviewed this case, Judge Webster Thayer, who presided at the original trial and heard all the motions for another trial insisted that he was impartial, and the Supreme Court of the State of Massachusetts saw no incongruity in his insistence, or in his taking it upon himself to pass on this question. It was this satenishian, attitude, an the part of the State judiciary rather than the preponderance of evidence for or (Continued on page 5).

According to another report Sir Gordon Goggisberg stated to an American audience that we out here in Africa "are suspicious of the American Negro, fearing an attempt on his part to take an advantage of them." We are bound to correct this, as it does not accord with facts.
Far from the African at home being suspicious of the African abroad, it has been the constant wish of the latter to get into touch with the former in the development of their common nationality. Hitherto local governments have adopted every device to make contact difficult, if not impossible.
An instance of this is the prohibition of the Negro World from circulating in British West Africa. The Negro World is a powerful American paper run in the United States. The Post Office intercepts every copy that attempts to reach West Africa, and that shows how the wind blows.
As a fact the African at home desires to see the African of the dispersion come back to the land of his forefathers, only naturally those who must be must of the right sort prepared to take their place as peaceful citizens of a free country. If American black men were encouraged to help in the development of this country, we shall see substantial advance in various directions in no time. Then, again, if this country is open to the enterprise of the different nation-states, why should it be closed to Africans coming from abroad? Of course, there are no discriminatory laws in this direction, but we have known of African efforts with American support which have been mingled in the hud indirectly, if not directly.
American College Men Needed.
We are glad to see that Sir Gordon encourages the idea of American Negroes taking up tutorial work in the Gold Coast, ostensibly at Achimota. Said he: 'I hope that some of you will become inspired to go to the Gold Coast to help the race from which you sprung.' We have now and again drawn attention to the need of augmenting the tutorial staff at Achimota by suitable American College men, and we have gone so far as to indicate that it will be the acid test us to a real centre on the part of the authorities for African cooperation. Indeed, we have wondered at the times that has been used in making provision along this line. If about the time that the European tutorial staff of Achimota was being collected home half-a-dozen promising African youths had been sent for training, by now they would be well-night equipped to take their places in the teaching work at Achimota.
No matter what a couple may be proposed, the African mind is convinced that no white man, no matter how gifted, can so easily reach African mentality as the African born. We have a prominent female teacher in this country offer a herself for training, but we power beyond any more of it. We want to see some of the rest.
(Continue on page 3)
(From the Gold Coast Leader, Dec. 17) Africa remains the sphinx as of old. She still propounds her riddles which none can solve but herself. The European mind of today glows with enthusiasm over Africa educational problems and ransacks every corner of the earth for a solution, and the result seems to be as tantalizing as ever.
We thought that we in the Gold Coast had found a panacea for all our difficulties and that the Advisory Boards had set out a scheme of African education that would satisfy the type they wish to produce. But it appears that from the latest efforts of Sir Gordon Guggisberg in the American field there is something still wanting in the scheme of things. Well our late Governor has visited America, and, addressing an audience there, has had something to say as to the system of education which will prove the solution of the race problem. If we accept it generally that the object of the European educationist is to find out for the African a type of education that would best fit in with race adjustment, then what Sir Gordon has to say is of some importance. Our attention has lately been drawn to a view expressed by him that it is desirable that the ruling power should shape educational methods for the African least the latter take his education into his own hands, which is not a desirable thing. Be that as it may, he has now discovered "that the system of education of Negroes in the United States will prove to be the solution of the problem which we have so much talked about—the race problem." He adds: "I believe that you have arrived at the beginning of the solution of this great difficulty."
Now, the foregoing must arrest the attention of thoughtful persons and invite examination in its application to practical conditions. To begin with, what in truth is this race problem of which he hear 'no much'? Broadly speaking, it is the 'fitting' in—the scheme of Western civilization a virile type of humanity pressing for recognition where before it was tame and inarticulate. This race is indispensable to European civilization. In order to do the work of civilization it must be so shaped as to be amenable to discipline, and control, and thus arises the importance of the right type of education. And to this, end men have spent the midnight off in arriving at a solution, and it seems after much labor the result is much the same as when they started.

In the view of the European the idea of unencumbered Newvo was to be a helping hand in different European industries, establishments, and homes; in the view of the African, maybe, to make him self-reliant and eventually his own master. Whatever view prevented in theory, we have today an uncommonly like result in the (Continued on page 5)

Sunday, January 17, was Woman's Day, and Garvey's Day also for our division. We had a most favorable day. Our meeting began at the usual hour. Our chaplain led us through the Universal rites. The missionary chant was sung. Our chaplain gave us a reading from the Bible, after which "Blegit be the Tie That Binds" was sung. Mrs. Melvin Wilson, our lady president, gave the introduction of the mistress of ceremonies, Mrs. S. Swan. She lectured in a very pleasing way. Miss Volma Olpson read the aims and objects. Our first vice-president, Mrs. L. T. Berry, spoke with great earnestness, explaining to us the full life of the U. N. I. A. and our determination to go forward. A duet was rendered to us by the Gibson sisters. The "mouthpiece-of-the" organization was by Mrs. Lois Clarke, our ex-lady president, who served us most-willingly during her term as lady president in this division." Mrs. J. H. Saunders gave us a reading from one of our president-general's selections. A recitation was given by Mrs. Robert Andrews entitled "How Ruby Played." She made the few moments of her recital lively. It certainly was a mistake when it was said we are good only to hw wood and draw water. Those who said that should be here in this age to see our artists. The dawn of the black race is here.
Our choir gave us a selection while the collection v. taken. The introduction of the principal speaker was given by Mrs. S. Swan, our second lady president, who has served us four terms as second lady president and is still holding the fort. Mrs. Nathaniel Rouse, the principal speaker of the afternoon, took as her subject "Garvey in the Minds of Negroes." All nations have their heroes, and we have ours at last; and when he asks for ships, or anything else he desires, it shall be given by us, the Universal Africans. This program is the only one that will save the race. Garvey, our honorable, leader, has given us light, and an abundance of race-consciousness.
Madam M. Joyner, our visiting friend from Chicago Division, had a few words with us on "One God, One Alm, One Deathy," which was very interesting. In her closing remarks, she asked that we read more, think more, too more, do more, and talk less, and we will achieve more. Our worthy president then introduced the strangers and extended his best wishes to all. The meeting was dismissed by our worthy chaplain.

The chair again rendered a fine anthem, "Cha'i Burden on the Lord." They were loudly applauded, Mr. Richards, first vice-president of the Camacuyu Division, was introduced amid loud cheers; his noble and attiring subject was, "he would be closing in on us!"

A short announcement was made, after which an enjoyable meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem and prologue. JOSE N. ZEPHIL,

The regular Sunday afternoon meeting of the Brooklyn Division was held at 300 Cumberland Street on January 22, at 5 p. m., with Mr. Maurice Daneiels presiding. The division is becoming a cultural center for the more wide-awake student minds of Brooklyn. Frequent meetings have served to exemplify the fact, and the effort which the young people are making in behalf of the division's activities is indeed creditable. The president commented on the news of the approaching international convention in 1925 and made a few remarks on contemporary history of nations in the making. He contrasted the struggle of the Irish people, and their ultimate success in securing a Free State, with the Universal aim of the black race toward nationhood.
Mr. Randolph O'Neale was one of the principal speakers of the afternoon. He prefaced his speech by a reading on "The Power of the Useful Spirit," after which he delivered a stirring address on "Our Youth: Do They Give Us Cause to Worry?" Mr. O'Neale gave his hearers a resume of the modes of the "sheiks and sheabas" of

today and their apparent disinterestedness in the future. Imitation, failure of women to uphold the ideals of the race, and lack of parental control were the main items discussed. He ended by telling his audience that it was necessary that everyone awaken to the reanimation that Youth is the only hope of our future salvation.
Miss Alice Phillips, an accomplished pianist of the division, delighted the audience with her selections, after which Mr Ira Gibbons made an impromptu speech entitled "Loyal Alliance to Our Relationships." "In our material world we may have some regard for the survival of the fittest, but at the same time we must also know what others are doing," said Mr. Gibbons, who, like Mr. O'Neale, is a member of the Brooklyn Research Society and another of the unaccomplished young men in the vicinity who have accepted the struggle of the more toward nationhood as his great obsession. February 5 will be Women's Day and, in much a great event to anticipated, MONEL RICHARDSON, Reporter.

Old Harbor Division dream it necessary to ask you spouse in your journal to make a suggestion to Divisions and Chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
As Garveyites, we appeal to Garveyites the world over wherever the Red, Black and Green is upheld to now make it a point of duty to contribute ungradually to the support of the Honorable Marceus Garvey, and one serving unimindingly for the putting over of the program.
We are glad for his release, but depreciate his humiliation. Notwithstanding, there may be something in it invisible to us. Therefore, if he is to be affenced to that he can unhastingly transport himself to where he would desire to do from time to time, knowing that where he goes will be for the promulgation of the cause, every division and chapter should do its bit in this manner supporting him until the completion of his inspired task.
His imprisonment was for Negroes,
not for personal right, for which reason
we can show our appreciation, of his
determination in making up his mind
to die if needs be for the freedom of
his fellowmen. Our little drops in the
bucket of gratefulness, will be a
spokesman in time to come. Therefore,
help him to have an independent purse
at his command.

On Sunday, January 8, Cumberland Division of the U. N. U. A. and A. G. L. celebrated its eighth anniversary. The hall was totally decorated with flowers and hannah befitting the occasion; the forms and roses used in profusion gave a festive air to the naturally attractive hall.
At 7 p. m. the doors of Liberty hall were opened to admit a vast crowd to celebrate our anniversary service. The frateral societies were well represented. The real sincerity manifested throughout the meeting showed clearly, that the audience appreciated the program, which was made up of addresses, songs, recitations and duets. The atmosphere was charged with vibrations tending to harmonize and make perfect a beautiful service.
Special mention must be made of Meadams L. Clarke and S. Williams, whose beautiful, duet made hearts beat with rapture. Miss Clarke really displayed a pleasant modulation of tone, while Miss Williams' enunciation was perfect. Miss Blanche Taylor, laterly of the Banes division, thrilled the house with an eloquent address. Her magnificent speech was punctuated with loud and prolonged applause.
After the swearing in of six new members, the National Anthem ended art impressive service.
On Tuesday night, January 10, the active members gathered in business meeting to elect officers to guide the destiny of the local for the year 1928. Mr. A. E. Monroe was re-elected president; Mrs. Sarah Walcott first lady president; Mr. Alonso Davidson, first vice president; Mr. J. Aaron, second vice president and choir master; Miss Selma Williams, second lady president; Mr. L. P. Rattray, general secretary, and Mrs. Eulalie Robinson, secretary ladies division. Miss Ruth Maxwell was elected corresponding secretary and reporter by acclamation. Mr. O. S. Hurley, treasurer; Mr. A. W. L. White, trustee. Pursuant to the election, installation of officers took place on Sunday night, January 15. After the devotional services by the chaplain, Mr. Lionel Smith, Mr. F. A. Francis, ex-president, conducted the installation ceremony, which was rather impressive. After the installation some of the officers gave short addresses reaffirming the pledge just taken, and expressed their determination and loyalty to the sacred cause of the U. N. I. A.
It is the hope of this division that the new year has opened bright with promises leading to a bright and successful future, and that it will mean in each division a general, forward and upward movement making it what our esteemed and indomitable leader intended it to be "a thing of beauty and a joy forever."

COLON. PANAMA
On Sunday night, January 15, the Colon Division staged a very interesting meeting. The rap of the novel in $1.5 brought the house to attention. The meeting opened with the professional hymn, "Shine on Stained Light," with Mr. C. O. Hudson, acting president, in the chair. The religious part of the meeting was conducted by the chaplain, Mr. J. A. Mitchell. He tools for his text, St. Matthew's Gospel 4:1. During the course of the chaplain's address, the Holy Mary, B. E. Aird, field worker for the Republics of Panama and Costa Rica, with Little Miss Alexander, elocutionist, accompanied by M. O. Crawford, first vice- lady president, headed by which Green nurse and legionnaires entered.
At the close of the chapman's lecture, Hymn I.19, from the Eilum brought the religious part of the meeting to a close. The literary program was then opened with an anthem by the audience. The president in his opening remarks welcomed the audience to Liberty Hall. Ho was followed with a recitation by Master E. Yearwood. The reading of a letter from the Hon. Marcus Garvey by our secretary, Mr. Richard B. Bruce, brought much applause. A recitation by Miss Alexander, the elocutionist, was heartily applauded. Songs composed by Secretary Bruce were well appreciated, followed with a recitation by Miss L. Yearwood. Next was another recitation by Miss Alexander, which was again well applauded. At this stage the president, Mr. C. O. Budson, introduced the speaker of the evening in the person of Mrs. Bridget E. Aird. Rising amid a tumultuous outburst of cheers, she took for her subject "What Effect Has the Imprisonment of the Hom. Marcus Garvey on the Negroes, and What Effect has His Release on Negroes?"
The one who was not present to have listened to that silver-tongued orator as she forcefully expounded the doctrines of Gervaylaim missed an opportunity never to be regained. She spoke for half an hour, after which she was warmly applauded.
The setting president then thanked the audience for their contribution in making the occasion one of long remembrance. The hour being far spent, the meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the Mithiopian national hymn and prayer.

Mrs. Burton Advises Women on Motherhood and Companionship
For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood. I was born in Burton of Kansas City. I was terribly nervous and subject to periods of terrible pain. I was the proud mother of a beautiful little daughter and a true companion and inspiration to my husband. Before believing in the secret of other women would like to know the secret of my applause and I will surely reveal it to you. I would like to be the proud mother of another woman who could be the true mother of a beautiful little daughter.

En nuestra ultima edición publicitaria tu programa de esta organización delineado por su presidente general, con hambres capaces y de responsabilidad para la consumición del miamo.
El anuncio de que la proxima convención internacional de los pueblos negros del universo se llevará a cabo en la ciudad de Toronto, Canada, del 1 al 31 de agosto de 1929, que las oficinas generales de la organización en este país quedaran radicadas en esta ciudad, que las del extranjero estarán en Kingston, Jamaica, y que la organización en los Estados Unidos estará dirigida por el Hon. E. B. Knox con la asistencia de los altos comisionados de distrito, seis de los cuales han sido ya seleccionados, nos da un algo definido que considerar-y nos alienta en nuestra labor de enaltecimiento.
La filosofia ordinaria no es materia convincente para despertar la aletargada conciencia de nuestro pueblo. Podemos explicar detalladamente el terrible desastre de un terremoto, pero él no se compenetrará inmediatamente de su significancia, hasta no haber observado personalmente la erupción de un volcán o haber experimentado la sensación desagradable de un fenómeno sismico.
Por más de ocho años nuestra organización ha venido profetizando los grandes peligros que nuestra raza ha de afrontar en el futuro en esta parte del globo, según previsión dimanada de un análisis ciudadoso y de un estudio minucloso del crecimiento social, politico e industrial de las naciones y de las razas dentro de esas mismas naciones.
La conservación y desarollo del valor económico, social, clivo y político del negro y la creación de un estado en Africa, donde este se ve libre para gobernarse sin molestias, es un programa constructivo que lleva en si la inspiración de una gran esperanza, el cual debe inducir a todo negro en la unificación de sus fuerzas en beneficio de su raza misma.
Una y otra vez, y con razones convincentes, hemos manifestado que nuestra raza no tiene un sitio determinado para su estabilidad en el hemisferio occidental, porque a medida que las demas razas se desarrollan, requieren mayor espacio para su comodidad, reduciendo a cada instante nuestro radio de acción.
La raza blanca se unifica en todas partes para robar y dominar a los teblos indefensos sin consentimiento de estos. Ella ha conquistado y exterminado casi totalmente al indio en America y a los pueblos de las islas del ocano Pacifico; lo cual ha ejecutado a sangre fria y sin respeto al derecho a la vida de todo ser humano. Lo que el blanco ha hecho alli, ha puesto también en práctica en el continente africano.
Al hacer tales manifestaciones, las cuales creemos razonables, muchos de los tal llamados directores de la raza se burlaron de nosotros y nos calificaron de locos demagogos, particularmente cuando expusimos la razón de que la única salvación de la raza estaba en la redención absoluta de Africa, en donde pudiera aquella establecer su propio gobierno.
Nuestro elemento en este pais es requerido una y otra vez para que se adhiera a este movimiento, bajo la direccion del Hon. E. B. Knox y los also ccmisionados de distritos, dando impulso a la iniciativa de estos en la consecución del éxito.
Ellos dijeron que el manicomio nos estaba ya hechando de menos; pero desde hace ocho años, cada dia, cada mes, cada año de nuestra existencia que transcurre, nos hace experimentar ciertos hechos que a continuación justifican nuestra idea en preparar la raza universalmente para su propia salvación.

Notamos recientamente que no, solo se pone barrera a los privilegios sociales o industriales del negro, sino qué se hacen grandes esfuerzos pada privarle de sus derechos como ciudadano. No solamente será posible que el negro se vea privado de su voz política, sino que inmediatamente después de la actual campaña electoral, ha de verse sin ocupación como recompensa de su cooperación, al dejarse influenciar por los parasitos de la raza, quienes a cada inescente agravan más y más nuestra condición actual debido a su actitud de servilismo.
Debemos realizar cuando hemos de luchar y como debemos hacerlo para obtener lo que anhelamos. Es poco cuerdo el hondear una bandera roja en presencia de un toro salvaje, 6 el colocar la mano en la boca de un icón provocando así su bestialidad. Esta es la actuación de los políticos de la raza con el objeto de adquirir lo que aspiran, dejando la raza en general expuesta a los graves peligros que como consecuencia le amenazan.

15 de enero en Huelva, Ciela, se significó con la presencia del presidente Cocinillo y una de las delegaciones más fuertes que los Estados Unidos inviaron a conferencia al ruma.
El discurso del presidente Collidge fue delineado para crear un sentimiento de interes mutuo y sinceridad, evitando así todas las cuestiones que poiden crear un malabor entre los delegados vecinos, el cual fue recibido con gran entusiasmo.
El evitar el presidente Coolidge la discusión de las cuestiones políticas que gobernas el criterio de la conferencia, se dice que ello indica la haber una corriente subterranea de sentimiento entre los delegados asistentes a esta sexta conferencia; sentimiento este expuesto a explotar en cualquier momento, en el cura de los procedimientos parlamentarios que rigen los debates, en reuniones de se ponen a prueba las quentes mas preclaras de las dos Americas. La Doctrina de Monroe esta considerada por muchos de los paises hispano-americanos, como una usurpación por los Estados Unidos del derecho de hablar por los estados de este hemisferio, en todos los asuntos concernientes a sus intereses en relación con los poderes europeos. El silencio sobre este tema esta expuesto a ser interrupido en cualquier momento en la conferencia, apesar del esfuerzo que se hace para prevenir dicha interrupción.
El reclente entendimiento entre Méjico y los Estados Unidos ha sido un paso muy afortunado, en lo que a sus relaciones diplomáticas respecta; pero la ocupación de Haiti por este país y la administración arbitraria de sus asuntos por un conisionario americano, junto con la intervención armada en los asuntos domésticos de Nicaragua, son cuestiones que se sometarán a discusión y una determinación sobre la cuestion vital—cuanto podrá intervenir un estado en los asunto políticos del otro...
Haiti y. Nicaragua no son -los únicos estados latino-americanos que tienen resentimientos en contra de este país, lo cual puede facilmente convertirse en una hoguera destructora. Existe, pues, una necesidad urgente de una liga entre los estados de este hemisferio occidental y la actual conferencia no tendría verdadero éxito, si de su seno no dimana la creación de una asociación tal.

Nepalese Assembled Poste
of States of Freedom
On Capital Dome
WARHINGTON, Jan. 11. According to Countryman Phila J. Gurvett, of Tennessee, "militery leader in the U. S. House of Representatives, a Negro Philippe Read, assembled the parts of the House of Freedom, which now informs the dome of the Capitol in this city.
The colossal image was cast at the Clark Mills Foundry, near Bladenburg, Md., about eight miles from the Capitol Building. The model was designed and cast by Mr. Thomas Crawford, while in Rome, Italy, from plans adopted by United States Senate Jefferson Davia, of Mieselappi, chairman of the Committee on Public Buildings, in 1850. The model was put together and constructed by an Italian workman to prevent its being taken apart by anyone except himself.
But the facts are that notwithstanding this difficulty, its successful taking apart and handling in parts as a model was due to the faithful service and genius of an intelligent Negro in Washington, named Philip Reed, a mulatto slave owned by Clark Mills, and that much credit is due him for his faithful and intelligent services rendered in modeling and casting America's superb Statue of Freedom, which kisses the first rays of the aurora of the rising sun as they appear upon the apex of the Capitol dome in Washington, D. C.—C. P. B.

SIVE PAPER GOES
City From Scramble
A year of 18,1919 was spent this year by the society's organization affiliated with the Volunteer for the Support of Jewish Publication Society in New York. In mounting up this total of Temporary Hibernation, 100 staged and Fifth avenue, it was also assumed that member hospitals that gave more free services had your than any other group, and that they are now caring for many who are not of Jewish faith.
Sok M. Stroock, the president of the federation, in analyzing the report of Col. M. A. Guinisburg, the treasurer, said that many of the donations and contributions received by the federation had come from non-Jews, including one gift of $6,000 from John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
"Among the private and semi-public hospitals Mount Sinai gave the greatest of free service, and among the hospitals for the chronically ill Monterey Hospital headed the list," said Mr. Stroock.
Of the, total number of patients treated in 1927 by 66 non-municipal hospitals 88 per cent were—free patients. The percentage at Mount Sinai was 61, and at Montsoreau it was 57. I am informed that these examples are typical of the situation with respect to the percentage of free patients in other great hospitals and medical centers affiliated with the federation."
The amount actually collected by the federation last year was $6,817,-829.14, Mr. Broock explained. The difference between that and the total represented amounts contributed by the municipality and incomes from endowments. Unconditional legacies amounting to $92,692.57 and special legacies amounting to $6,250 were received by the federation during the year.
Statesmen Trip to Jazz
At Brittish Foreign Office
LONDON. The Charleston has
invaded the august Gold Room at the
British Foreign Office in Downing
Street. Lady Chamberlain introduced
dancing with her first reception of the
autumn season, and a very modern
band played all the latest dances to the
great delight of callers who had
expected a regulation official tea.
In addition to dancing, there were
also mong jong and bridge. The innovation was a great success, and a surprising number of mature and sedate politicians showed skill almost equal
to that of youthful diplomats.

BEATTLE, Wash.—One of the oldest tasks in building history here was finished recently when a one-inch alley was cut from a concrete building which had bulked over onto adjoining property. An offer to buy the land of land under trespass was turned down, the owner dealing to sell the entire lot at a figure which the prospective purchaser thought prohibitive.

Nagoya Oryo Release Of Homo, Marcos Garvey
In the Manner of the Nagoya World,
In order of the improvement of our
bedroom, the King, Marcos Garvey, found
of the U. N. I. A. , the members of
this great organization have been ever
needing from the columns of the Negro
World with increasing inspiration for
the continuance of the good work of
the U. N. I. A. , which is seeking a
national home with a government in
Africa, our motherland, for Negroes.
We read with great pride of the un-
finishing efforts which the Negro
World has put forth to enthuse
the members of the U. N. I. A. with the
spirit of Garveyism.
In December 2 of the
Negro World, we read with great joy,
of the release of our leader, the Mon.
Marcos Garvey. The members of the
La Africa Branch of the U. N. I. A.,
with friends and well-wishers, were
filled with unspeakable joy. In spite
of the deportation the members are
determined to carry on until Africa is redeemed.

Fight Unceasingly For a National Home
To the Editor of the Negro World:
Mexican bullfighters may have their way for using a red tablecloth; others may use it for decorating the dining room table; but Richard. Overby, a thirteen-year-old Negro kid of Swedesboro, New Jersey, has a way all his own. Overby believes that a red tablecloth can be used in a hericol, in a humanitarian way.
Two years ago the Negroes of this country were startled by the news, conveyed to them by the Negro press, informing them of the fact that the good citizens of Catharan, out of the city, burning down Negro churches and schools and battering their heads with baseball bats. Today, the same white press tells us on the front pages of the daffies of the harbors, and humanitarianism of Richard Overby, a thirteen-year-old Negro student of the Swedesboro High School, who perhaps was one of the fortunes to have escaped the baseball bats and Polish confugations of the Negro churches and schools of 'Christian Catharac two years ago.
How significant! A red tablecloth,
bay on a green and grassy
railroad track. Richard Owrey, it appears, while flirting away his time on the track of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad, discovered a broken rail, knowing that a train was due to arrive at the Iry station, a short disa

high school in the two counties and
sought a job. He then sentimented
the idea of personal hospitalization
above, he ran to his home, a short
distance away, contained in a neat
table cloth from his room, that he
back to the truck in time to save the
red saddlebag to the engineer, who
brought his train to a standstill a few
yards from the broken rail and the
little black boy.
A great mess meeting was held at
the high school in his honor and, after
listening to speeches by members of
the Kiwis Club, Mr. Lewis K. Marr,
superintendent of the Seahorse Rail-
road, and Mayor A. A. Hunter, Overy
was presented with two purses, one
from the railroad company and the
other from the grateful passengers
aboard the lucky train. The contents
of the purses have not been made
known, but we venture to suggest that
they contained what Overby deserves.
Two thousand years ago another Negro of Cyrene -Simon by name -was on his way down a street in Jerusalem, when he, too, discovered a man, staggering under the weight of a cross herociously and, with the spirit of humantartism, he proffered his assistance, which was happily accepted by the tired and grief-striken man. Taking hold of the burden, the Negro assisted the man with the cross up the steep and rugged heights of Mount Calvary, where the Negro was disposed of, at least, so the people thought.
The Negro is a peculiar character. The life of no one else is more in danger than his, yet he is always first on hand to "throw out the lifeline when someone, is sinking." It "means to me that if humanity is to be rescued from the universal cataclysm with which it is now confronted and which may culminate into one of the most devastating catastrophes in the life of man, the Negro must take the lead with the lifeline for sinking humanity. Humanity will not be saved by acts of tyranny, economic and scientific murders, lust, greed and exploitation. It will be saved only by the application of the grand principles of the seapon on the mount. "Do unto all others as ye would that they do unto ye." It will be saved only through the heroic effort of man to shake himself, out of the spirit of selfishness, intolerance and bigotry, and by taking on a new spirit, a spirit of brotherly love and humanitarianism one towards the other, irrespective of race, color or creed, so characteristic in the Negro peoples of the world.
The Negro race will receive yet another purse, but it will not be the kind of purse that was given to Burney Key of Montgomery, Georgia, who delivered his brother to the crackers to be lynched, nor will he be given to the slave owners, just as this deserving Little Negro boy, Richard Overby of Swedeborough, New Jersey. The real purse that the new Negro is out to collect is the purse of liberty,

Senate Advances Plan To Admit Aliens' Kin
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—The Senate Committee on Immigration today ordered a favorable report on the Senate joint resolution by Senator Copleland, intended to permit wives and minor children of alien declarants to enter the United States as non quota immigrants. The bill as reported is amended from the original so as to omit, hubbails. It applies to declarants between July 1, 1831, and July 1, 1824, and children under eighteen. Applications must be made within a year after passage of the act.
The committee also ordered favorable reports on a bill by Senator King to exempt American Indians born in Canada of tribes formerly settled in the United States from the operation of the immigration act of 1924; a bill by Senator Reed, Republican of Pennsylvania, increasing the salaries of immigrant inspectors, and another bill by Senator Reed intended to amend the law of 1924 as to make more strict the admission of teachers from foreign countries.
