Man is the creator of his own environment. Like God, who created all things, he (man) is a creator. If you look around you, you will find a human world that is creating its own environment every day. The world as you see it in its advanced, progressive stage is the result and evidence of man's creation.
The Power of Mind
The mind of man is his master. It rules and guides him in the way he desires to go. As the human mind advises you and directs you to move from one part of your neighborhood to another, or from one part of your community to the next, so that same human mind becomes a force that directs you and advises you to do the things that are worth while in your immediate vicinity or in the world of which you form a part. (Hear! Hear!) Mind is man's greatest internal power outside of his spirit. It acts upon him and reacts upon him and makes him the creature that you see. Every man and every woman you see is the product of his or her mind. As you see me tonight I am the product of nothing else in the world but my mind. (Hear! Hear!) Mind makes the man and as the other people conscious of their mental power have created environments pleasing to themselves so can the Negro rise to any environment that he himself creates. (Applause.)
The creative powers of the world are many and they are also inviting. There is ABSOLUTELY NO LIMIT (except the limit of divinity) to man's creative ability. Man has within himself the instinctive and elemental power to change the aspect of all creation—reducing all its elements to his service.
In the degree that man as he uses his mind makes him superior to his own kind who does not use his mind, the difference between the black peoples of the world and the white peoples of the world is purely a matter and question of mind. The mind of the white races is trained to its responsibility, to the knowledge of its power. With that knowledge and responsibility it reaches out to the conquest of all matter—giving to the subject of its control the mastery of things you see. The white man's mastery of the world is but a reflex of his acute mind. He owns the world not because of his feet, not because of his nose, not because of his eyes, not because of his complexion, not because of any of his senses—but because of his mind. (Hear! Hear!) The mind of the white man rules the world.
The mind of the Negro makes him a slave, who, until he throws off the mental psychology of weakness and realizes the potency of his own mentality, WILL NEVER RISE ABOVE HIS OWN LEVEL. (Applause.) You may rise as individuals or as a race to the highest positions

in the world if you can so play your mind. Mind is so potent, mind is so powerful, that with good concentration you can operate and influence even at a distance unseen by the object of your influence. The concentration of mind, like the radio, carries with it such a power in its movements upon the elements as to influence even from afan. It is the mind of the sturdy and powerful AngloSaxon that causes him to rule the world. It is the mind of the British statesman that shapes the policy, governs and guides the destiny of Britain's subjects throughout the
world. It is the mind of the Frenchman, the French statesman, the French politician, that fashions the life and the conduct of the French subjects in far away Africas thousands of miles away from France. It is the mind of the Negro of the Western World. in its operation looking toward the greatest object that can help the Africans at home and abroad to redeem themselves. (Applause.) We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are endeavoring to reflect that mind, that mentality that will not only operate in our midst; in our immediate community; but will reach out beyond the seas until that concentration affects the entire world of Negroes. (Applause.) It can be done. It has been done by others and it can be done by us. (Hear! Hear!)
Great Characters of the World
Let us take some of the characters of the world and find what made them great. The great Napoleon of whom all read in history and all races honor and respect for his prowess and masterly ability as a soldier. What made Napoleon the great military genius of the world? Was it his stature? Then I will answer you because Napoleon was a man of ordinary stature. Was it his peculiar physique? Surely not! There was nothing peculiar about Napoleon so much different from the physiques of other men of his own race—men born within the same borderland, in his native land. It was not his physique, race or constitution that made him excel other men. What was it? It was the mind of Napoleon that made him master of the
situation when France was in revolution. By the mind he was able to concentrate, he was able to bring order out of chaos. Through his mind he was able to organize France's rabble and rebellious crowd into an organized army; and with that ambition of his so great, he was able to lead the army not only in the battle—but to victory! The idea of being conqueror of all the world made Napoleon, the little Corsican, the man of opportunity and of destiny. And he became General of the great French army. The Little Corporal after he won his spurs, glories and victories, continued in the pursuit of more military glory so that he could be Emperor of the French. And were it not for the organized power of the world he would have been Emperor of the World—not only of France—because of his mind:
The Napoleons of the Future
What Napoleon was able to do a little over a hundred years ago, black Napoleons will be able to do for Africa. (Applause.) I look down tonight upon many Napoleons. I see in the future a Napoleon leading his soldiers—not only at Austerlitz, through the mountain passes of Russia, through the plains and fertile fields of Austria, Russia, Germany and France—but I see the Napoleons in the Universal Negro Improvement Association leading their armies upon the battle heights of Africa. (Applause.) I see tonight another Napoleon crossing the bridge—not the bridge at Liege crossed by Napoleon, but I see the black Napoleon spanning the Blue Nile and the White Nile with a bridge to lead his army across. (Applause.) I see mentally not a Brutus reading in his tent at Philippi but a black Brutus concentrating, contemplating the march of tomorrow where two millions will take the field for Africa's freedom. (Applause.)
The Florence Nightingale of the Future
And my mental forecast is not only of men but of women of the species. My mental picture is of a Florence Nightingale on the battlefields of Africa- The wounded are groaning in pain and asking for aid. I see not the white ministering angel going among those English soldiers and Russian soldiers; but I see the black Florence Nightingale going among the wounded soldiers of Africa, giving them succor so that the day may fare well for the Red, the Black and the Green. (Loud applause.) I see not the white Edith Cavell administering to wounded French and Flemish soldiers but a black Edith Cavell of Africa administering to the black sons who have fallen on the day. The mind and the mentality of white men and white women have elevated them to positions of eminence in the world. And so the mind and the mentality of black men and black women can elevate them, above their present level and standard.
And it is because I have faith and hope that I look forward to the future with courage. Who can tell that

U. S. Consul, Appealed To for Aid When Men Tramp Streets Unable to Find Lodgings Preparatory to Sailing, Says, "They Are Not Bad Fellows, You Know"—Men Say Girls Pursued Them
Melbourne, March 27 — Not for many years has a case at the City Court attracted so much attention as that, when five white girls, who had been found consorting with a number of Negro vaudeville artists of the Soinny Clay company, were today charged with vagrancy. All, however, were discharged. Long before the court opened a large crowd had gathered outside, and at least 200 were unable to gain admittance.
This unusual display of interest had been created by the dramatic police raids that were made early on Sunday and Monday morning on patrols at Howe and Monday morning on patrols at Howe and Melbourne, occupied by colored theatrical artists from the U. S. A. and by the arrest of five young girls who were found on the premises, in London, 17, clerk, Dorothy McGowan, 23, housemaid, Yi Day, 23, nurse-girl, Nola McKay, 21, dreammaker, and Dorothy Davis, 23, waitress.

Sir Noville Howe also assured the Howe that he would personally look into all applications for permission to remain in the Commonwealth from Negroes in the future.
He would not go to the extent of refusing applications, as pressed for by Mr. Jackson, as he explained Negroes
All quietly dressed, they took their places in the deck and pleaded not guilty to a charge that they were life and disorderly persons, having insufficient lawful means of support. Sub-inspector Seales prosecuted and Mr. Sonenberg represented the accused.
*Compaints Received*
Plainscloths Constable Saker, describing the police raids, said that on March 22, in consequence of complaints received concerning the conduct of white women and black men at Rowen, Plate, with Senior Plainscloths Constable Dunn, he had the place under observation from 7 to 8:15 p. m.
During that period they noticed Negroes pulling white women about in an upstairs room. They had the flats under observation on the following night, and on Saturday they made a raid. At 8:35 o'clock on Sunday morning last no forced the door, and lumber found accused McKay and Longdon.
In an unfamiliar room wait the accused boy, with one of the colored gown, who was in a dressing gown.
Continuing, witness said he danced a Negro named Lewin what excuse he had to make for having the girls in the flat.
Lewin replied that the girls were "chasing" them and that he and his friends had been a trouble to get rid of them and other girls, who attended the school.
Witness said that after the girls were scattered at the watchhouse, a small tube, containing the cocaine tablet, was found on a form.
Most of the girls were intoxicated.
He said to one of the Negroes, "How did these girls get here?" The Negro replied, "They followed, m."
He then said to the accused girl, Daisy Clay, "Are you accused replied, "There boys are Amnesiac, and they are interesting."
One of the Negroes, when further questioned, said, "Our boss is Sanny Clay, and we get 218 a week."
Ivy Day, who, on earth, professed that she was a nurse girl earning 30 shillings a week, said she had met the men at the Green Mill dance hall on the night of the rain. She had had wine and she was not accustomed to drink.
Sub-Inspector Sigalz: In Day your right name?
Accused: No. I was accused not to give my correct name.
The sub-inspector: Do you know the name of the man you were with?
Witness: No.

Hunt All way for Home; Doors Closed Against Them
Sonny Clay's man found lodged in Sydney lost might only after a hunt, which lasted all day.
Mr. Hughes said pointedly yesterday that if they had been in America they would not have been allowed to leave the country.
In all probability, action will be taken which will prompt the entry of Negroes into Australia in the future.
Colored men of Sonny Clay's band who arrived from Melbourne yesterday on their way to America engaged the city all day in search of lodges. At Darlinghurst—the hunt when they were in Sydney—all dogs were closed against them, and they were forced further abliff.
Walking around with their arms and legs, the dog not until 8 o'clock had mistaken that the hat ever found a home. The majority of them are in lodging near the Central Station.
American Corporal Lawson was appealed to yesterday to help help him. He said one of them had been in an American guard with him.
"They are not bad fellows, you know," he said.
Mr. W. M. Hinesen specializes at the annual convention of the National Army parachute soldier: "Something is being said about the Negroes learning this country. Why, if they were in America and did the same, would they be able to leave the country. The citizens would see to that."
"Frame-up!" Saya Clay
When the disgraced "Sonny Chay" troop arrived back in Stetson yesterday, to catch the Sierra, which it to take it back to America, members were completely indifferent to the pointed interest shown by a few hundred persons at Central Station, and toes and toes of bumphosphorus, oxides of lead and coasts of sounding check material, the Noceros were easy marks for the crowd to follow.
Sonny Chay told the Guardian that his men who were concerned in the incident had sworn to him that nothing wrong had happened at Rotterdam Plate.
Chay complained that detectives had angered the stops of the troops since it arrived, and had probed, belongings in them their bedroom hours such as such the temper of the cozinha was put on edge.
"It was all a deliberate frame-up," he said.
Not Ended, Yet
CANEBRA, Wednesday — The Mohammed Nero episcopa has not ended yet. Ministerial opinion is so incensed that it is very probable the Neroes, whatever their calling, will not be allowed into the Commonwealth again. The Holding of permits to enter the country is purely a governmental affair, and applicants of Nero blood can be denied admission, at the Minister's request. Such sleep would mean that vaultsville and flight enterprises would have to revive contracts both contemplated and recently entered into, where Neroes have signed up and are on their way to Australia.
A Carnegie-Ingel medal is being sought for Bud Furstler, thirteen-year-old Mississippi Negro boy, for saving the lives of three small children who had fallen into an abandoned well. While spectators screamed, helplessly, Bud slid down an iron pipe to the bottom of the forty-foot well, pulled the metal out and threw it on a bale, where he guarded them until a basket could be lowered.

Negro Chauffeur Saves Employer's Life at Risk of His Own
Recent press reports from stuttgart, Arkansas, tell of the heroism of a Nigro chauffeur who saved the life of his employer at the risk of his own. While the two were driving, the steering gear broke and the car plunged into a drainage, ditch. The white man was plinned under the machine, with his head under water. The chauffeur succeeded in reaching him and for ninety minutes held his head out of the water until rescuers came.

Bitterness Grows with 150,000 Cotton Workers Out and Rail Dispute Likely to Spread
BOMBAY, May 13.—Labor troubles which have been causing so much restlessness in India have been accentuated this week by the Russian trade union, which has applied to rail workers here as well as propaganda to the Workers' and Peasants' Party with Communist posters calling 'on all workers-to unite to shamish "imperialism."
Bombay mill owners refused to accede to the workers' main demands, thus increasing the bitterness which already existed.
Only four of the eight Bombay cotton mills are now working and more than 150,000 men are idle. The stifler began early in April when the owners of the mills began to give highly skilled employees more work but higher pay. There is now an apparent deadlock in this industry and no prospect of a settlement.
The spirit of revolt is even more assertive in the railway union, whose members have been infilmed by Communist activities. A preliminary meeting of railway workers Saturday night meant a greeting to workers the world over pleading support in the class war against the "common enemy." Already the railway workers are in progress, one of ten weeks duration among the East India Railway employees at Lilbhua and the other among the workers in this railway's shops at Howrah. The Howrah station has been marked by disorders and rioting and the leaders made an open appeal to Moscow. It is possible that their work may cause trouble to spread and it seems likely this week that the Great Indian Peninsular Railway will be drawn in.
The British Government of the Gold Coast, West Africa, has adopted for the natives of that province the educational methods developed by Tuskegee Institute, according to Sir Frederick Goulden Goulden, former Governor of that colony, who was a recent governor of the state. Washington has not only helped you here in Appalachia, Sir Goulden deserved, "but his influence has reached out overcrowds. We have honored and adopted his ideas."

I am not speaking tonight to African man of destiny? Who can tell that I am not speaking tonight to African woman of destiny? Black women, can you put介nat the African deeds of the woman of the American Xinnex before you? (A voice, "I will!") I ask men, can you not do the heroine, the great and table deity, the other men before you? Have you not read of the great Wellington, who with Butler sternened the title of the French army and robbed it of Waterloo? Can you not stem the title for African as Wellington sternened the title for the armies of Great Britain at Waterloo? Wasn't Wellington made out of the same mould as you? Then, If you have decided to do, we want you to be men. Oh, If we could only understand what it is to be a man!
The Manly Character
So many of us appear to be much when we are not even the semblance of man. Who is a man? A fellow who stands firm in his 'character as God made him to be,' ("Hear flesh!") Who understands himself, who understands his purpose in life, who is fully cognizant of the fact that he represents the highest in Nature. That is a man. The creator of his own destiny, the master of his own pathway, the architect of his own fate, the captain of his own human ship. That is a man. The man who is free from penury, bergary and wung—being too proud himself to admit of a superior being, too proud himself to admit himself an intercessor, the man who sees apology in himself, mastery in himself. The fellow who goes to you, making favors and begging chances, begging opportunities, is only in apology, for what you call a man. (A voice, "That's right!") Imagine how inferior you must appear when you go to someone blessed with no other senses more than you—no nose, mouth, feet and hands with an organism that must you mist you who the same sympathies go to the other fellow, who looks like you, for all that you want? Oh, how much difference there is between both of your 'dogs' is a mental flaw, a weakling, a puppy, a good for nothing, while the other is just a man. My dog comes to me for food and for water and for things that the dog was not created in Nature to provide for itself. When
JAPANESE ACTION IN CHINA BACKED BY GREAT POWERS
Moscow Press Declares a New Struggle for Pacific Has Begun—France, and Britain a Backing Japan-in Violation of Washington Treaty
MOSCOSO, May 11.—A new, startling and dangerous phase of the struggle for world power on the Pacific Ocean among the United States, Japan and Great Britain is soon as a result of the Sino-Japanese clash in Shantung by the official press today.
Summarized, the situation, as viewed by the press, is this:
1. There is an actual state of war between Japan and Nationalist China.
2. Japan enjoys the moral or tactic support of France and Great Britain, which, as leading members of the League of Nations, were loudest in condemning "aggressive war" in the recent disarmament meeting at Geneva.
3. Japan has obviously seized the opportunity to nullify, the Washington Conference by reoccupation of Shantung.
4. This creates a new phase of the struggle for world power in the Pacific.
In view of the prominent interest of the Soviet Union in Chinese affairs, one wonders why official comment alike from the Government organ Javesta, and the Kremlin mouthpiece, Pravda, was so long delayed. It is more significant still that Pravda follows the "Welptopitika" line, and Javesta the Comintern, a more strictly Communist thesis.
But let no one interpret the delay or Pravda's caution in indifference. The illuminating message from the New York Times's Peking correspondent a month ago emphasised the growing activity and energy of the Chinese Communist and present proletarian movement, under pressure of militant misrepronunciation. The Kremlin is equally alive to the possibilities. It is realized here the Chinese situation in approaching a showdown, which seemed imminent twelve months ago, but was averted
Day for day a year ago, Yen Hsian, the Governor of Shuaih Province, who is now drawn into the fight against Marshal Chung Tso-line, the Northern dictator, told me in the same breath, that he would now engage in civil war and that "Bolhovich is a dragon which grows strong by the hunger and misery of the poor."
Then Soviet influence was paramount at Hankow and Canton. Today Michael Borodin, Eugene Chen, Mne, Sun Yat-sen, General Gulen and a score of others are fugitives in Moscow, escaping their car to the Chinese ground.
"Last year," says a Moscow paper, "Great Britain, Japan, France and America made a demonstration of intervention, but did not carry it out. Now Japan intervenes with British and French approval. What about America?"
One might answer, "And what about Russia?"
man goes to man for food, for favors, for help, he is in no better position than the dog, because if one man is able to create these things for himself it is the 'duty' of the other man to do likewise—if he is a man. And that is why the white people and all people treat Negroes like they want a dog if we feed the dog we feed the Negro, and that is why black men are being kicked about by other people the world over for a dog, because they want a dog for a dog. For 2,000 years he has been too lazy to create his own environment. I see not the white man in the world that I would humiliate my manhood to approach him as a dog. That is, to ask him for the things that I can create for myself within Nature. What right have I to go to someone else white, I have a right as anyone else to get things out of the world for myself?
And as of the individual, so of the race. As the world treats the individual black man because of his absolute dependence so the world treats the individual of the Anglo-Saxon race with courtesy and respect because of its absolute independence. Prejudice against you is not because of your color, as not because you are black, but because you are too damned lazy to be men; to own something, to possess something. And the world will never respect you until you do that. Until you Negroes get something the world will kick you around like the golfer or the better life ball around.
Nothing But Power
Niceros, look around the world, and tell me what you see. You see power all around in the hands of men. Power is not a useless thing; otherwise men would not seek it. Look at America, England, France. What are they? Organized groups of people, and every one is powerful. There are so many black people in the world—the black people living under the English, French, American, not together with those under the German, Italian and Russian thrown in, and get you represent no power. A fellow could come in here tonight and take a club and whip all one of you out of Liberty Hall, and all that you could do would be to complain to somebody else about it and go to the drug shop to get some rubbing to rub out the pain. (Laughter.)
Senator King Flays Occupation of Hayti; Weak Nation Trampled
lam H. long at a protest meeting held, yesterday, under the joint auspices of the "All-America Anti-Imperialistic League" and the Haytan Patrolte Union in the New Harlem Casko, at 118th street and Lenox avenue.
"Not content with having abolished the Haytan constitution and dismembered its assemblies," he continued, "this country, in the name of the Monroe Doctrine," is now setting out to deprive all the peasants in Haytl of their land and reduce them to slavery. The American troops should be withdrawn at once. Let Haytan settle their own destinies."
FIGHTING FEVER IN WEST AFRICA
Indian Monkeys Aid War on Yellow Fever—Similarly Affected as Human Beings
Recent discovery of the Indian monkey as an experiment-animal in the study of yellow fever in West Africa was issued as an important stop in the combating of disease in the second part of the annual review of the activities of the Rockefeller Foundation, made public recently by Dr. George E. Vincent.
For more than two years the foundation had been concentrating its yellow fever work on the West-African coast in an endeavor to discover an experimental animal which might lead to a solution of various fever problems confronting the investigators.
The blood of human yellow fever patients, had failed to affect various animals on which the foundation experimented, including guinea pigs, white rats, white mice, philated rats, kittens, goats and other local fauna of West Africa.
Monkeys Used as Last Resort
An almost a last resort a consignment of chimpanzees, crown monkeys from India and Brazilian marmosets were used. The African yellow fever finally affected the Indian monkeys and one died. An atypia showed the same kinds of changes which yellow fever causes in man, Dr. Vincent reported.
More than fifty monkeys were tried and the experiment was successful. Later a monkey was infected with both the virus of the disease and with the blood serum of a person who had recovered from the disease. The monkey shares no signs of infection.
The discovery opened a wide range of possibilities, which were being automatically explored, Dr. Vincentata. The use of the Indian monkey will throw a good deal of light upon the problem of the likenesses or differences in the African and American forms of fever.
While the interests of the foundation's yellow fever experts centered in 1927 on the West Africa type, Dr. Vincentata said violence was not related to northern Brazil, where a slight outbreak of the disease occurred in 1926. No case had been reported there since April, 1927, he said.
Reports on Malaria Control
In the control of malaria the foundation continued to aid in work started in 1816, and in 1827 twenty-seven countries in eight states of the United States. Porto Rigo, five South and Central Amazonian countries, three European countries and two areas in the Amazon. The quinoo-breeding was controlled by dugging the surface of streams with parts greaseable a low cost.
The foundation continued its chief aim of helping governments create or improve general health organizations and in 1927 added 352 country health organizations in twenty-three states of this country, including eighty-two counties in flooded areas.
The foundation continued its policy of adding to the spread and development of scientific knowledge by supplying funds for fellowships for 864 persons in fifty-two different countries, 218 fellowships being administered by the American National Research Council and three intergroup groups in England and Australia. It also co-operated with health agencies all over the world by sending specialists, funds and books.
And what is true of you here tonight is true of Negroes in all parts of the world. Anybody can get a big club and club them to death. That is the condition of the Negro all over the world. Let somebody take a club and attempt to hit down an Englishman and what do you have? You have the marines, the British army to satisfy When you say you made a mistake, they say: "Tell it to the marines" and clean you up. Must Organize for Power in Africa Negroes, you must organize a power in Africa, so that when they attempt to spite you in any part of the world, if they do not apologize you can say to them: "Tell it to the marines!" (Hear! Heart!)
Proud of Black Races
I feel proud to be a member of a race that has such an outlook and is working for and hoping for such a nation.
Nationalists Say That the Ameer of Afghanistan Was Petted and Feted and Respected Because Afghans Worsted British Troops—Egypt Must Be a Free and Independent Country Enjoying the Same Status as the Ameer's Realm
CAIRO, April 14—As Amanullah, Ameer of Afghanistan, wends his homeward way to his remote Asia realm, after that, triumphal European progress which culminated in his brilliant reception by his fellow-monarch, George V. of Great Britain, added by all the splendor which the British know so well how to lavish on Oriental potentials whom they wish to flatter and impress, the Egyptians gaze retrospectively on this burst of pomp and circumstance with a mixture of envy and anger.
They cannot help feeling that Amanullah is receiving a consideration at the hands of the British which their own life, including that I never got and cannot hope to get unless there a sweeping change in the present relationship between Great Britain and Egypt.
free Egypt from the British army of occupation and the right of the British High Commission to steer and shape Egyptian policy.
And, reasoning thus, the Egyptian Nationalists pull wry faces at the report that Great Britain contemplates Egypt.
King Fund, to be sure, visited England not long ago and received a grand and royal welcome. But it was not the only ashes with 'Amanulah of Afghanistan.
Britain Called Real Ruler
The latter went to London as an independent monarch, lord of a land ranked as among the free nations of the earth. Faced, on the other hand, though treated with every mark of respect, was the ruler of a realm over which the British exercise feeble and watchful control of a realm whose so-called independence is, in the eyes of Egyptians, no better, than a shadow, since the real power there, the real unanswerable privilege to say "Thus shall it be done" and "Thus shall it not be done" is vested not in the King of Egypt, not in the Egyptian Parliament, not in the Egyptian people, but in the British High Commissioner, who lives in Cairo and carries out potentially, but firmly, the orders which come to him from the British Government. Hence the grand progress of the Afghan King through Europe and his aplendid reception in England have fanned the over-armored fires of Egyptian nationalistic feeling in Cairo and the rest of Egypt.
"Why," ask the nationalist, "should Great Britain accord to Amanuallah the recognition as an Independent, sovereign which it denies to Fund? Why should it allow Afghanistan a rank among the free and sovereign nations of the earth which it denies to Egypt?" The Nationalist Answer
The Nationals' Argument
"The reasons adduced by Great Britain and the Asiatics in British control over Egypt, apply equally well to Afghanistan, according to the arguments of Egyptian nationalist extremists; in fact, these reasons, as they are them, really apply more fiercely to the realm of Ammanullah. They arrive at this conclusion by the following line of reasoning:
"Britain includes that she must keep a controlling hand on Egypt because of the geographical location of the latter along the shores of the Suez Canal, the vital artery of communication between England and the far-flung Asiatics' territories of the British Empire, especially India and Australia.
To grant Egypt full independence would, as the British see it, bring the British hand to the hands of some rival nation, which, by severing the communications" between Great Britain and the Asiatics and Australian territories of the empire, might strike a fatal blow at that empire.
Therefore the British brush aside all Egyptian arguments to the effect that the Egyptian army could adequately guard the canal; that an Egyptian-British offensive and defensive alliance would serve the same purpose as the present system of Limited Egyptian independence combined with British surveillance of Egyptian affairs; that the British air operations both ends of the canal I conjunction with the British air forces based on Palestine, could effectively safeguard British interests in the event of a real crisis. The British insist that their troops stay in Egypt and their will remains law there.
All very well, growl the Egyptians, but what of Afghanistan? Why is not sauce for the goose sauce for the gander? Why is not Afghanistan in exactly the same—relationship to the British Empire as Egypt? Why do not the Afghanis, in full enjoyment of independence, entirely uncontrolled by British High Commissioner or British troops of occupation, constitute quite as serious a menace to British overland lines of communication between Asia as does Egypt to the Sinai Conflict? Afghanistan the Egyptians point out, how aside the hard route between British India and Europe, it is separated from India only by a range of mountains threaded by the Khyber Pass. Should Afghanistan quarrel with Great Britain and ally herself with some powerful rival of Britain—say, with Soviet Russia—would she not instantly become a menace of the grevest sort to British India?
Would she not instantly become for more dangerous to Great Britain than a hostile independent Egypt could ever conceivably become, in view of the fact that the British Navy would be powersome to overcome the Afghan in their land-locked fortresses and the British air force could operate only with the greatest difficulty among the mountains of Amaqallah's country?
Stirred by Treaty Report
So why is it, continue the Egyptian line of argument, that Great Britain can view with such compacency the existence of an independent Afghanistan, untransected by British control, and at the same time fairly refute to
free Egypt from the British army of occupation and the right of the British High Commissioner to steer and shape Egyptian policy.
And, reasoning thus, the Egyptian Nationalists pull wry faces at the report that Great Britain contemplates concluding a formal treaty of friendship with Afghanistan, whereby are hopes to cement the friendly ties now existing between herself and the realm of Armenia into something really valuable and durable.
That is just the kind of treaty, the Egyptians tell the visitor in their midst, which they wish to see concluded between Great Britain and Egypt.
They do not want the kind of treaty which was drafted, after long discussions, by Sie Austen Chamberlain and the Egyptian Premier, Sarwat Pasha, and which submitted in February to the Egyptian Parliament, was rejected by the higher with such unmistakable indignation that Sarwat was obliged to resign.
Had that treaty been accepted, the Nationalists insist the present status of Egypt in relation to Great Britain would have remained unchanged; it would simply have been another case of a vascular state accepting concessions deloited out to her by her overlord. On the other hand, any treaty concluded between the British Government and Afghanistan will recognize the latter, without qualifications or quibbling of any sort, as a sovereign nation, the equal in status of Britain—which Egypt tells one, is just the kind of treatment which Egypt believes. Optimists here believe that a formula might be found whereby British control over Egypt could be maintained without being Egypt's nationalistic susceptibilities. Some of them, they feel, could be introduced. Into a treaty which would take the sling out of Egypt's present status, that of an "independent" nation, subject—so British reservations which, the Egyptians insist, reduce "independence" to a shadow.
But even the optimists find great difficulty in saying exactly what this formula should be, exactly what magic words should be used to, break the deadlock into which the Anglo-Egyptian situation has raised itself.
Scoa No Help in Warfare
Meanwhile, the Egyptian extremists growl and grush their teeth in impatient rage. One of their newspaper organizations went so far the other day as to tell its readers: that Afghanistan and its liens were being treated with such irritating favor by the British because the Afghanis openly defied Great Britain and actually worsened their troops on more than one occasion.
Yet seven of the most embittered Egyptians see no hope in that direction. The remote mountains of Afghanistan are one thing, the flat lands of Egypt, within easy striking distance and soldiers, quite another.
So the Egyptian extremists drop all thought of armed resistance and continue themselves to hoping that something of the tenacity and ability of Zazilah Pasha, their dearest leader, may manifest itself in Nafis Pasha, present Egyptian premier, the man who is now seeking to kill Zazilah's shoes.

Negro Race Is Blessed with Outstanding Leader Who Is Fully Capable of Handling Any Situation Which Might Arise—High Praise for The Negro World
INDEPENDENT AND FEARLESS, IN A CLASS BY ITSELF
Negroes Should Thank Garvey for Having Given Them a Mouthpiece Which Cannot Be Muzzled—Mme. Ebbember Speaks on the Significance of Mother's Day
LIBERTY HALL, NEW_YORK, Sunday Night, May 13. There was another very enthusiastic meeting tonight at the forum of Negro Liberty on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting, held under the auspices of the New York Local. Mr. J. H. Miller, 1st Vice-President of the Local, occupied the chair, while Hon. Mme. M. L. T. Ebimber, Asst. International Organizer, delivered the principal address, making some timely remarks on the meaning of "Mothers' Day," which was being celebrated throughout the country. Other speakers were Mr. J. Harrison, who paid tribute to The Negro World, and told why it is unique among newspapers; Mrs. L. McCartney, 1st Lady Vice-President of the Local, and Mr. J. H. Smith.
The concert program was as follows: Selection by the Universal Band, under Prof. Ulric Hassell; anthem by the choir; recitation by Master-George Sumuel; duet by MsDames James and Wallace; a bass solo by Mr. H. Daly, and a contralto solo by Mrs. Ulric Hassell, the band accompanying.

MRS. L. McCARTNEY'8 ADDRESS8
MRS. L. McCARTNEY'S ADDRESS
Mrs. L. McCARTNEY, first lady Vice-President of the New York local, was the first speaker. She said she was indeed filled with inspiration to see such a goodly crowd out to hear and to exchange thoughts and feelings and to revive their spirit in Garvycism. Speaking of leaders, she said, "In the course of everyone's Motivation there comes some happenings which are of extreme importance in determining the future views of the individual. Many times it occurs in childhood, but usually it is later on in life when this more serious shock occurs. History is filled with incidents, which, on the surface, appear to affect a single individual, when in truth it has been found to affect a nation, the world, people everywhere.
Baker T. and Gerwin
Booker T. and Garvoy
"This proved to be the case with the late Booker T. Washington who was born a slave boy and became a mighty educator of America. Men have been inspired From reading his book, 'Up From Slavey', and one of the greatest men in the world found pleasure and inspiration in reading that book, and that was no other than the Hon. Marcus Garvey who read the book while traveling in Europe and determined that he would come to America and visit and exchange thoughts. Booker T. Washington did a splendid work, as far as it went, but this great leader of ours thought that in the same way Booker T. Washington could start out and raise money from the very people who were oppressing us, he could form an organization that would eventually lead us from economic slavery to nationhood.
"With that determination he started out and had a solid foundation upon which he is building daily. He has suffered, great setbacks, insults and everything else, but the cause triumphs. Every great leader in the world's history has been forced to pay the price, and there is no powerful organization in the world today that did not know early and tremendous setbacks."
Stand, by, G. N. I. A. and mother
The speaker then made a stirring appeal to the members, to stand together and unto their forces so that the plans that the Hop, Muncus Garvey have for the fulfillment of the program may not be hindered. She knew, she said, that the enemy was still busy approaching the weaklings trying to now dissension in the ranks, but all their efforts were doomed to failure, for no one ever had much to fear from weaklings. That day was Mother's Day and it might be fitting for her to observe, for any Negro to be false or traitorous to the Universal Negro Improvement Association was like being false to one's own mother. It was the duty of Negroes everywhere, she concluded, to stick to the program, for if they stuck to the program, victory would assuredly be theirs.
MR. J. H. SMITH'S ADDRESS
Mr. J. H. H. Smith, a member of the New York Local, was the next speaker. He said, as he surveyed the great crowd that thronged the hall, a wondrous feeling surged within his breast that same kind of feeling, that is making the whole civilized world sit up and take notice. He wanted to urge upon each and every member to think hard, think seriously and think constructively. They belonged to a mighty and serious movement, and it was the duty of all to do individual thinking. He did not mean to imply that there must not be enemies of action and wholehearted co-operation, but in the quiet of the home, in social life, as they went about their daily tasks they should lot the guiding motif of Garveyism govern their every action.
Not Like the Good Old Days
In times past, when Ethiopia was
in times past, when Ethiopia was
the art, perhaps they could afford to
be light-hearted, but today the Niggas
was constrained to be serious, to be
ever on guard, for his very life was at
stake. They had only to read the daily papers and study the white man's treatment of news items to see what a prefrontal, the Negro was in. The white newspapers ran great big headlines when Marcus Garvey was ratroced out of the country, but since then a solemn stillness reigned. Marcus Garvey went to Jamaica and made an historical record, but not a word was set in the great white press. He was in England now on a serious and important mission, and he was sure that the white press here would suppress all reports about him to give Negroes the impression that he was held in no esteem, and that he was being nothing in their behalf. But members of the U. N. I.A.A. would not be deceived. Marcus Garvey had gone to Europe in the interest of the entire Negro race and by the very silence of the white press of America about his tour would the measure of his efforts there be gauged.
MR. J. HARRISON'S ADDRESS
Mr. J. Harrison, a great favorite with 'Liberty' Hall, a velchent and versatile speaker, was next introduced. Taking up Mr. Smith's discourse where he had left off, Mr. Harrison said there was something radically wrong with the Negro press, too. And he know what it was—they were subalized, many of them, by the white man; they had to depend on the white man for support. Many editors who printed great columns of criticism and calumny, about Marion Garvey would, if they met him in secret, come through with the truth, practically apologize for the stunt they allowed to appear in their papers, and assure him that he was right and that they knew he was right.
Praise The Negro World
Praises The Negro World
The Negro World was the only Negro newspaper he knew of that was fearless in staring the cage for the black man and which, regardless of what anyone gold, kept on hammering away regardless of consequence. The Negro World was not subsidized or supported by white men; black men edited it; black men advertised in it; black men read it; it had no reason to pusyfoot about anything "Thank God for Garvey!" he exclaimed, amid applause. The Negro World, founded by Marcus Garvey, was the most wholesome, the most helpful new paper for Negroes to read, and it was little short of treason for any member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to fall to purchase a copy of their paper every week, and not only purchase it, but read and digest its contents. "Yes, white men do not like The Negro World," he cried. "They want you only to read their papers, read how they invite white men to come to Africa to divide the spoils, while they urge black men to go to heaven."
But Nejroos, he asserted, need not be worried about heaven. They believed in Marcus Garvey. Marcus Garvey had his hand in God's hand, and whoever was anxious to get near the throne of God, whoover wanted to be with God, to seek communion with God, all he had to do was to place his hand in Garvey's hand. Then the circle was complete.
Mr. Harrison ended his address with a forwent appeal for united support for the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who had demonstrated that he had all the ability needed to lead his downtrodden race to the glorious goal.
MIME, M. L. T. ERIMBER'S ADDRESS
Hon. Mme. M. L. T. Ebimber. Assistant International Organizer, was the last speaker. She said: "Today is Mother's Day, a very popular day, the day when men choose to honor the queens of the world. And as we do so our thoughts turn to some of the beautiful women of Ethiopia who brought Kings and Empressa to their feet; we think of Negro womanhood the brightest gem in mankind's crown; we think of the Negro woman who captivated and held enthralled the wise Solemon." Proceeding, Mrs. Ebimber said she hoped that there was no man within the sound of her voice who had put on that day paid homage to the woman who had brought him into the world. If she was dead, homage should be paid the same to her memory, and if alive nothing should be too precious. For her nothing should be left undone to show
The Hon. E. B. Knox, Personal Representative of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, has just returned from a conference with the President-General in the British West Indies, prior to the sailing of the Hon. Marcus Garvey for Europe.
The Hon. E. B. Knox brought a personal message from the President-General to be delivered to all the American Divisions and Chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but on account of having been suddenly summoned by the Hon. Marcus Garvey to join him in London, England, not later than May 28, he will be unable to make an itinerary until after his return from Europe. He has, therefore, instructed the Hon. J. A. Craigen, High Commission for the States of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, to make an itinerary to the following divisions to deliver to them the message of the President-General, in the interest of Liberty University. Members and friends are to show the Hon. J. A. Craigen all respect and consideration as a high official representative of the Parent Body.
her that she was appreciated and recognized as the world's greatest and best mother. In the canonization of the Blessed Virgin by the church lay added proof of the realization by the thinking of the inestimable soon womankind is to the world. And this brought her back, she said, to certain events of 1924.
"In 1924," she said, "Marcus Garvoy, the President. If you please, the Provisional President of Africa, if you know, told the white man: 'Mr. Whiteman, you have canonized the Blessed Virgin, but you have handed her down to us as a pale-face.' Marcheus Garvoy astonished the world when he decided that it was time that black men should see God and naturo through something that looked like themselves, and so in the convention of 1924, Marcheus Garvoy handed back their white Jesus, their white God, their white mother of Jesus to the white man and canonized for the Negro peoples of the world in Black Madonna. When Garvoy did that the white man received a shock. It was like running electricity through his body, for the white man well know that when Garvoy opened black men's eyes to the monastic deceptions that had been practised upon them in the name of religion, the black man was well on the road to real emancipation. And even as from the womb of a good woman came, the Son of Man who came to save the world, so from the womb of a good and lovable woman had Marcus Garvoy come to save the Negro race, and it was a very happy circumstance, that Marcheus Garvoy by one stroke had not only killed deception that was impeding the black man's progress, but he had increased respect among Negroes for the Negro mother."
The speaker ended with an appeal to the membership to stand by the Association and support it with their dollars so that the floridous work might go forward unharmed and Marcus Garvey, away in Europe, doing a man's work for the Negro race, might not be worried, by any disturbing news from any of the outposts of Garveyism.
MIAMI, Fla., May 7.—After three months of investigation, the Dade County Grand Jury today charged the Miami Police Department with "underworld alliances, summary executions, revival of the tortures of the Middle Ages and despotism of such nature as to destroy the freedom of our citizens." The denunciation of Police Department polices was contained in the final report of the Grand Jury which some time ago indicted Chief of Police H. Leslie Quigg and several members of his force for murder and beating. Quigg together with three of his men was acquitted recently of killing a Negro prisoner.
The Grand Jury pronounced Quirk "wholly unit for the office." He now in under suspicion.
Specific instances of torture, indulgence and tyranny were described in the report. Residual of these instances came from more than 90 percent of 300 witnesses who appeared before the inquiry, the Grand Jury said, but much of the testimony centered on offenses now outlawed by the status of limitations.
Common practice in police questioning of witnesses included forcing them to sit on a chair electrically wired so as to cause acute discomfort, with an officer standing ready to knock back into position any one who attempted to escape the torture, the report said.
The jury said it had been instructed that one alpha prisoner had the tales of his hardeest beaten with a superbound rule for an arrest and a half. The alpha was accused of stealing an antimicrobia.
CHICAGO, May 13—Scientists at the University of Chicago differ over the assertion of Sir Arthur Keith, famous English anthropologist, that death ends all.
Proof. Anton J. Carlson, head of the physiology department, said:
"All scientists, except those still under the influence of nursery rhymes, agree that there is no spirit or soul that survives death.
"This, of course, is entirely opposite to the theological view, which holds to its belief that there is a survival of the spirit and uses an proof evidence which scientists cannot consider.
"Men like Sir Oliver Lodge cite psychic evidence, which they claim proves the spirit lives after death. They even claim they can communicate with such a spirit. But to a scientist, at least, 30 per cent of that evidence is faith, schooling or foolishness.
"Such evidence is no flimsy that it cannot be accepted by perverse seeking facts. There is nothing in the nature of man to indicate that a spirit survives after the brain is dead. For that reason men of science agree with the statement made by Sir Arthur Keith." Dr. A. S. Herscheld, noted psychiatrist, said: "We have no proof of soul in science, but the brain manifests energy, and energy never disappears. So we cannot free to believe the brain after death may live on as an immortal soul." Prof. Arthur H. Compton, who this year won the Nobel Prize in physics, said: "There is not enough scientific evidence to shake my belief in a spirit after death. Until science proves otherwise I am willing to accept the belief that spirit survives."
ATLANTA, Ga., May 14.—The Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation, with headquarters here, recently announced the following awards in the annual Southwide college competition for themes on race relations:
First prize, $100, to Miss Selena Hunter, of Baylor University, Waco, Texas (home address, Minden, La.);
second prize, $50, to Miss Martha H. Hall, of North Carolina College for Women, Greenboro; third prize, $25, to Miss Blind Morrow, of Maryville College, Maryville, Tenn. (home address, Union, Miles.)
The subjects of the prize-winning papers were, respectively, "A Survey of Inter-racial Conditions in Wexo," "A Study in Negro Criminality" and "The Negro and Education." There were more than eighty entries in the content, representing fifty institutions in fourteen States. Officials of the commission of expressed themselves an greatly pleased with the results of the contest, which appears to have enlisted wide and serious interest.
Ancient Cemetery Found.
A cemetery of the Bronze Age, consisting many decorated sculptures of stone, bronze and clay, and including a tomb which dates from 1,600 B.C. has been unearthened at the ancient site of Bathhemeh, near the Village of Aln Shame, in Palestine, by the archaeological expedition of Haverford College, headed by Dr. Elithu Grant, An account of the discoveries, just received via radio from Dr. Grant by his brother, W. T. Grant, in New York, indicates that the objects unearthened carry the history of the ancient city back another 1,000 years and classify it definitely as existing in the Bronze Age.
This small sculpted objects that instructed long Canaanite occupation, short Phallicite transition, Bronze and Iron Age evidence and finally a strong Egyptian influence. Imports from Cyprus also were unearthened.

To Discuss Status of the Lands They Rule—Disturbed at the Changing Political Conditions in British India
LONDON, May 8.—Leaving his elephant and silver howdah at home, the Jam Sohil of Nawenapar, will come riding into Victoria Station in a steam train tomorrow as the first of a dozen Indian potentates headed for London this summer to consult the British Government because they are frightened at the experiment of constitutional government south of them.
They have heard that the British will consult with them in a series of conferences which will last until fall. Heralding their arrival, Sir Harcourt Butler, chairman of the Indian States Committee, with several allies arrived here last night after a tour of 8,000 miles in India in 100 days.
Sir Harcourt's tour and the Indian Princess journey to the Occident are preparatory, to regulating anew to some degree the government over 700,000 square miles of territory and the 70,000,000 people of India who have no idea of what is going on and who, even if they did, would not know what it was all about.
The Indian depots on route here constitute a committee from the Indian Chamber of Princes. Nominally sitting in the chamber are, 7,000 Maharajahs, Rajahs, Nawabs, Princes and petty chieftains whose territories are entirely outside the area covered in the inquiry of the commission headed by Sir John Simon and the turmell of India that reaches Western India. Actually, there are some Princes who would not be annoyed at attending the chamber settings.
Hydrabad Prince-Indifferent
Some of these absturdies are very important people. There in the Niam of Hyderabad, for instance, one of the wealthiest Indian Princes, who is so wearied of Stato functions that he spends his leisure hours in his jewel room dipping his arms up to the elbows into chests filled with diamonds, gems and pearls gathered for centuries by his forabara and playing with these bubbles as a child in the Bronx might play with marbles.
On the contrary, it is understood that the Gookwar of Baradoh, a man who owns a $10,000,000 carpet woven out of emeralds, rubies, sapphires and diamonds, will be represented, if he is not in person at the London gathering. Enough of his time has been spent at European resorts so that he is a familiar figure in the West. He is a familiar as philanthropic monarch who is rebuilding at his own expense. 10,000 homes of food sufferers in his domain.
The abstainers and participant allices, it is said here, are realizing that things are chaning in India. They are disturbed at reports of the communal strife and parliamentary struggles in British India, where Great Britain experiment in the extension of Western democracy is being made. The rulers of most of the States belong to the military causes if they are Hindus, and do not always approve of Brahmin political supremacy in the Indian Legislatures.
At the present they have no constitutional channel for the expression of their views in such matters as increased customs duties or the sanction of articles of general consumption in

India which might affect their State.
Seek Redefining of Treaty Rights There is also a Communist trend in the specieses of many of the Indian radical leaders, which naturally disturbs the Princes, since they are the representatives not only of capitalism but also of feudalism as known from the time of Charlemagne, mitigated only insofar as the inhabitants' rights are concerned by the counsel or pressures of their British advisers.
Possessing 'various treaty rights under which they recognize the British power as paramount, even in lands under their rule, they are coming here to ask Britten to define those rights in view of the changing conditions of modern times. It is expected that the conferences will start in the second week of July. Britten also has several things to ask of the Princes as a result of Sir Harpur's tour. They are:
First—To six limits of the privy purses and in some cases to curtail their extravagant personal expenditure.
Second—To establish administrative services with reasonable security of tenure.
Third, to create independent jurisdictions.
Sir Hari Singh in Delegation
Among the Princes who will arrive will be Sir Hari Singh, in noted in 1824 as "Mr. A" in the celebrated Robinson vs. Midland Bank case, which arose over an attempted blackmail.
Sir Hari's role, then presented him in an unfair light in Western Europe, it is said here, since in India he is known as one of the most progressive Princes and for ten months of the year is busy in the task of the actual administration and increasing the value of his great property and curing for the welfare and lives of its inhabitants.
In British Government circles these Princes and their system of government have strong supporters among idealists who recognize in the primitive peoples a real loyalty to their rulers and dynasties. The natives have a human dolltail in their dumbars and other paganities attending the princely rule in the Far East.
The Prince likewise can recall on their London visit their attitude during the critical time for the Empires in the World War, when they dipped deep into their treasure chests to add the British cause, besides furthering the home forces with an Indian supply of man power.
Proposed Congressional Action to Limit Free Importation Arouses Island Planters Favoring Cuba, Is Charge
MANILA, March 31.—The introduction of legislation in Congress seeking to limit the amount of sugar that will be allowed to enter the United States duty free from the Philippines has aroused a storm of protest and indignation among sugar men here. Governor General Henry L. Stimson is among those strongly opposed to the bill, as he has cabled to Washington, and together with members of the Philippine Sugar Association, the seeking ways and means to prevent the measure's passage. He feels that it is unfair and that it would do great harm to one of the chief industries in the Philippines at a time when the new administration is just getting under way on a program of economic and agricultural development.
The sugar interstate here assert Cuban sugar men are back of the legislation, together with sugar interests in the United States, and possibly Hawaii. Porto Rios and Haiti. Cuba protested the free admittance of Philippine sugar as a violation of the reciprocity treaty Cuba has with America. However, it is pointed out this treaty refers to "foreign countries," and the Philippines are not a foreign country so far as America is concerned, but an "unincorporated territory." Hence, it is felt, the Cuban attack is unjustified.
The bill, according to reports from Washington, would limit the amount of Philippine sugar entering the United States free of duty to a total of not more than 500,000 tons annually. While the average sugar crop in the islands for many years past has not been an great so that, it is felt that any effort to limit the American market would have a bad effect on the industry's growth.

UW -President-General Marcus’ Garvey hai contributed to The

‘tions of the race in-North America, Central and South America,

along these lines which the Negro race should have taken advantage
of long ago, as Mr. Garvey graphically pictures; as it’enibodies the
réal principle ‘of modern business among the white races, which
really ted to'the.explorations in the sixteéntli century and the con:

WANTED IMMEDIATELY $1,000 From 1,000 Members
For Legal Defense of Miami Members; Claude Green and J. B. Nemo
In Miami, Florida, a woman by the name of Laura Champion, of Atlanta, Georgia, but who styled herself as Princess Laura Koffey, was fatally shot on March 8, 1928.
Of ten officers and members of the Miami Division arrested in connection with the murder, eight were subsequently freed, but Claude Green, ex-President, and J. B. Nemo, Colonel of the Legions, are being held under a charge of first degree murder.
There is evidence in abundance to show that these men at the time of the killing were not even in the vicinity of the murder, but the white newspapers in Miami and elsewhere are saying that Marcus Garvey wrote letters from Jamaica, giving orders to these two men to kill Laura Koffey at any cost and promising rewards if they were successful.
A thousand dollars are needed immediately to defend these men, and I am authorized by the Hon. E. B. Knox, because of my knowledge of this upheaval, to request that 1,000 members of the Association rise up as one and forward to me immediately one dollar each or more so that these innocent men can be represented by proper counsel.
Every member of the organization knows of the value of the Miami Division to the entire organization. These men's lives are at stake.

Higher Pay Voted For Federal Workers
WASHINGTON, May 7.—By a vote of 281 to 14 the House passed the Welch bill to give an $18,000,000 salary increase to 135,000 government employees. The measure now goes to the Senate. The bill carries pay increases for virtually all of the civil service employees except those in the postal and foreign services.
Representative Woodrum, v. Virginia Democrat, argued on the floor that it discriminated against poorly paid employees in favor of those in high grades. He contended it would give a $5 a month raise to a man drawing $2,800 a year and $375 a month more to the man drawing $7,200 yearly. As a substitute he proposed a flat $300 a year raise to every employee. Chairman Lohbach of the civil service committee, Representative Welch, Republican, California, author of the bill, and Representative Puchmann, Republican, West Virginia, defended the measure, pointing to a provision that the personnel classification board study the problem and make recommendations to Congress in December for further remedial legislation.
Turkish Family Names
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 8. A law is being framed to effect a reform in Turkish names since the census experience reminded the Angora government that registers of vital statistics, now kept in the Western style, are seriously hampered because Turks lack family names.
A more definite cognomen than All, son of Yusuf, borne by thousands, is required, and it is proposed to study European social customs and devise a national system of family nomenclature.
The Turkish press explains that Western civilization evolved family names from crafts and professions like goldsmith, carpenter and shepherd, and Turkey, being largely agricultural, has many opportunities for the same procedure. The Turkish schools will be the first officially to register the children as soon as the Western style of patronymic is adopted.

Mussolini to Hear Famous Negro Melodies
ROME, May 10—American Negro melodies will he heard in the courses of one of Premier Mussolini's private concerts at the Villa Tortorion tomorrow night. Mina Horn, New York soprano, is to give a program in four languages, featuring Southern folk-songs by the request of the Premier. Other numbers on her program will be Pergolesi by Straus and the aria from Heroflade.
Mussolini, now that the political season is drawing to a clap, is holding these intimate recitals more often. The other night he made Mariacella Crisciolo the proudest 12-year-old pianist in all Italy. She had been invited with her parents to play for him.
Marlucella, so delighted the Fasciat leader with her selections from Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin that he insisted that she accompany him while he played Gounod's Springtime Sonata on the violin. Mussolini is generally shy about exhibiting his ability with that instrument but the young girl had completely disarmed him.
Watch, Still Ticking
Found Inside Fish
CAPE MAY, N. J., May 11.—A chronometrical croaker was hauled in today by Captain Francis Holmes, of the Reeds Beach fishing-fleet, along the Delaware Bay shore here. The captain was dangling his line over the side of the boat when the croaker, a fish which noses among the clam beds for dainty morsels, bit, and as he was brought up his captor could hear a distinct tick, tick, tick.
The four-pound fish was opened and inside of him was a watch, which one of the party with Captain Holmes had dropped over the side a little while before. Despite a plunge of several fathoms and its incarceration inside the croaker, the timberline had not missed a tick.

Influence of Italy
Reported Spreading in
European Circles
ROME, May 13.—Zaleski, the Polish
Foreign Minister, who arrived—in
Venice recently on his way to Rome,
is the fifth Foreign Minister to come
to Italy within the last few months to
confer with Premier Mussolini. The
others were M. Titulceau of Rumania,
Towfik B. Turkey; M. Michalacou-
pules, Greece, and Ilias Moni, Albania.
This array of statesmen visiting
Rome to establish personal contract
with D. Duce is a source of satisfaction
to Italyana, who see therein evidence
of the important role Italy is
playing in European politics after the
years of neglect immediately following
the war.
M. Zaleski's visit has not any specific importance. It is interesting chiefly as showing the great care and painstaking activity that Mussolini has dedicated to wooing the sympathies of the Little Entente powers. It is a measure also of success in this direction, as it proves that though perhaps Italy has not yet supplanted France in the role of protector of the Little Entente, yet Italian influence is beginning to be strongly felt throughout the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Rumania, Greece, Albania, Bulgaria and Hungary have now all established ties of the closest friendship with Italy, while Poland and Czecho-Slovakia also look to Italy with sympathy.
So startling, indeed, has been the spread of. Italian political influence eastward recently that some newspapers abroad have announced that, as definite alliance is about, to be made between, Italy, Rumania, Greece, Albania, Bulgaria and Hungary, with the possible adhesion of Turkey in some form. Such reports can be denied absolutely, as no alliance of this nature is planned for the present.
The fact, however, that rumors such as this are sufficiently plausible, to find their way into print shows the skill which Mussolini has played the difficult game of captivating the friendship of Balkan countries which are so deeply suspicious of each other that the friend of one, it was hitherto thought, must necessarily be distrusted and hated by all the others. It shows also that Yugoslavia cannot be entirely blamed when she complains that she is rapidly being isolated and surrounded by countries tied to Mussolini's charlot.
BALTIMORE, May 7. — Though strongly supported by Archbishop Curley and a leading rabbi for one of the vacancies on the School Board, Dr. D. H. Rhetta, a Negro physician who had been pushed forward by Negro leaders, will not get the appointment. Dr. Rhetta's political managers, who had made a determined campaign for Dr. Rhetta, belove their sight is lost and that Mayor Broening will reappoint President Frank J. Goodnow of Johns Hopkins University, Warren S. Seitt and Theodore S. Spraus. These three men were originally appointed by Mayor Broening during his previous administrations. He had indicated his purpose to reappoint them before Dr. Rhetta was punched forward and he had been advised it would be a mistake to disturb the board. However, the Negroes hope at an early date to obtain a representative of their race on the board.
Sea Water Power Plant Planned in Egypt Desert
CAIRO, May 13—What at present is an uninhabitable desert, imponetrable even for caravans, will be transformed into a huge power station electrifying the whole of lower Egypt if the Egyptian Government passes favorably on a scheme worked out here. The plan calls for an expenditure of $75,000,000 and would let the waters of the Mediterranean into a big territory which is below sea level. It would pass through a conduit about eighty miles long and would develop, according to conclusions of scientists, 300,000 horsepower. This would be enough to supply power for the whole section and operate the irrigation system.

"Dry Ice" May Cut Cost Of Ice Cream to Public
ATLANTIC CITY, May 10. — By the use of "dry ice," or solidified carbon dioxide, the price of ice cream will be cut considerably within the next few years it was said here by Fred Rasmussen, of Harrisburg, executive secretary of the International Ice Cream Manufacturers' Association, during the annual convention of the body.
Only fifty pounds of the "dry ice" will supply the needs of an ice cream delivery truck for nearly a day, he declared, and use of the substitute will spread rapidly when it is made in quantity. It is now being used in transporting ice cream by truck from Philadelphia to Atlantic City.

Because of the growing demand for a life insurance company, several of Harlem's most substantial business men have organized the Harlem Life Insurance Company, whose headquarters are at 2270 Seventh Avenue, and which has been Licensed to operate under the laws of the State of New York. They feel that Harlem offers a special field of life insurance to its insurance world and so this company hopes to take advantage of the open field, which Harlem offers for domestic life insurance.
The new company has been capitalised at $200,000, with 10,000 shares of par value of $10 per share, to be sold at $20 per share, producing a total capitalisation of $200,000. One hundred thousand dollars of this amount will, according to the report of the company, be apportioned to capital and $100,000 less organization expenses, to surplus, thus giving the company a surplus of $200,000 greater than any Negro-life insurance company, had when it commenced writing insurances. This would be a decided advantage in so far as the investors in the company were concerned.
The officers of the new company are: Junius M. Green, president; Jerome P. Ottley, secretary. It would appear from the general excitement which this new company has caused in the business world that it represents the highest and most modern business efforts in the life insurance field. The Harlem Life Insurance Company invites the public to investigate its standing with the Insurance Commission of the State of New York. The officers and directors of the new organization are chiefly interested at the present time to afford service to the public and will be willing to give an interview to any who may be interested in visiting the offices of the organization.

Turkey Adopts 'A to Z' Alphabet for Schools
ANGORA, Turkey, May 10. — The Turkish schoolboy is to join those of many other lands in learning an alphabet beginning with 'an' and ending with 'Z', instead of the "elig" to yoh" of the Arabic. This is the latest enactment of the Turkish Parliament which, under the leadership of Ghazi Mustapha Kemel Pasha, has been Westernizing Turkey. A new dictionary will be prepared so that the new alphabet may be taught in schools. Newpapers will be printed partly in Arabic and partly in Latin characters, and the latter will be used for all official documents. Fifteen years will be allowed this nation of 14,000,000 souls to accustom itself to the new-letters before use becomes obligatory.

BROOKLYN, N. Y.
The Brooklyn Division No. 2 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has taken on a new impetus. Meeting on Sunday afternoons, as usual, at the Republican Hall, 880 Cumberland street, at 5 p. m. precisely. Members of the division in the borough and adjacent parts are coming out in large numbers to "put over" the work started by the High. Marcus Garvey. It can be safely predicted that a great future is in store not only for the representative units of the association in these parts, but also for the entire organization all over the world. People are becoming more and more enthusiastic over the cause than ever before. Brooklyn may be taken, among other communities, as an indication of this representative spirit already referred to. it will not be a very long time before the hostile attitude taken by certain groups in various parts of the world will be changed.
On April 29 the former administration of the division under the capable leadership of Mr. M. Daniels gave way to a new and promising administration under Mr. Exloy Thorpe. Realizing that the work of the association must be carried on at all costs, members have rallied faithfully to the banners of the organization. The anguish spirit that was exhibited at this meeting may be referred to as noteworthy. Outgoing officers as well as now have promised co-operation.
On Sunday evening, May 13, the division presented a wonderful three-act drama, "Toodled Out," and His Two Brides" at Utele Hall, 669 Herkimer street. The public turned out in large numbers to witness "the courtship and marriage of Frederick Douglas." Ex-Commissioner T. Brooks and Mrs. Brooks were the authors of the play.

COLON. PANAMA
On Sunday night, April 5 the division was favored with a grand program entitled "Easter of Long Ago," which was prepared by the ex-lady vice-president, Mrs. A. Segeant. The meeting was called to order by the acting president, Mr. C. O. Hudson. The religious proceedings were taken care of by the first vice-president, Mr. A. Smith. The lesson for the evening was taken from St. Mark 108 chapter, 6th yere. After a brief lecture, which was fitted for the occasion, Hxnn No. 34 from the ritual brought the religious service to a close.

Hudson, entitled "Most"; dialogue by Miss Archelhald and others, entitled "Easter Bell"; anthem by the choir, entitled "Easter Morr": address by the lady president, Mrs. Allen Carson, which was very inspiring and instructive, as she bade her hearers to be courteous in the fight for Africa's redemption.
At this point the acting president thanked M. A. Bergman for her service to the association from time to time, and hoped that she will never be weary in well done. He also thanked M. R. Shackford for his energy in preparing the elder. Special matters must be made of Kate C. Karrie, who noted as nobody her part in explaining the conditions. The meeting was brought to a close with power.

Sunday, May 4, began Harvey Day the Philadelphia Division adopted the guidelines as set by the city authorities a few weeks ago, when they gave people one hour of time which they could use their ability as heads of governmental departments. So, the entire working of the division was given over to our young people and they proved by their every action that they have been freely inhibiting of the principals of our great organization. The meetings throughout the day were conducted with marked intelligence. After a big street parade and demonstration by the U. A. L. and the Cadet Corp of the American Legion headed by Major. E. S. Norman and the Cadet Corp of the U. A. L. entered the Palace Theatre on South street, where our afternoon mass meeting was held. The ritualistic service was conducted by Mr. C. W. Norman, who also acted as master of ceremonies, and chaplin for the day. Adjutant W. Walters acted as President and was slated as principal speaker. We had a distinguished visitor, Madame M. L. T. Demena Ebimber, who paid us a visit which was highly appreciated by all. She brought to us a message from our great leader, and told us, many inspirations, and expressed the interest in the story she told of the arrival and reception of the Hon. E. B. Knox and the cordiality accorded the representatives, who met him on the pler.
Mr. Fanning of the New York local also visited us and spoke very invigorily.

DETROIT, MICH
The Detroit Division under the direction of the High Commissioner, attaged a very successful membership drive lasting from April 22 to May 3, 1928, continuously every night. During this drive the Hon. S. R. Wheat of Chicago, a special representative of the association, was the principal speaker. Several churches were visited for the avowed purpose of educating the Negro population in Detroit, which the organization and this was ably done by Mr. Wheat. The Hamtramck and the River Rouge Divisions were also visited.
It is appropriate to mention the sentiment that was created in favor of our association at the various places visited. Many who did not understand Garveyian readily agreed with the program and joined. Much credit must be given to the Hon. S. R. Whett, who understands the psychology of the masses and was able to use it to his advantage for the benefit of the organization. He spoke each night on different subjects and among them we think the ones most forcibly elucidated were "Tall Trees of Jericho, Come Down" and "Cry Baby," showing to his audience that Marcus Garvey who was once a crying baby. in his mother's arms, caught the vision of an African rebellion. He was a member of Africa for the Africans aroused millions of Negroes everywhere. The High Commissioner, Hon. J. A. Craigen, and the President of the Detroit Division, Hon. Leonard Smith, although both were convalescing, ended the drive with several Yorubaful and inspiring addresses.
The Detroit Division wishes to thank those pastors who have been broad minded enough to allow the doctrine of Garvoysm to be preached from their pulpits, realizing that it stands for Negro advancement. With another similar drive all Negrodom in Detroit will be awakened as to the possibilities of Garvoysm.

El alienio que vena manteniendo el ejecutivo e el gobernó de Cuba en relación con el caso Barlow, fue roto cuando se entregó oficialmente a la Prensa Asociada una nota, en la que se declara que Cuba considera el caso Barlow como injusto y falto de todo merito legal. El subsecretario de Estado se Campa, declaró que Barlow no compro derrechos sobre la propiedad "manglar" sino derechos de combate, los que el esperaba hacer valiénde mediante la intervención del gobierno, de este país. También declaró que Barlow se habia visto enviuelto en repeditas ocasiones en acusaciones presentadas contra el por las autoridades de la nación, y las cuales estan aún pendientes de decisión, por vender Barlow supuestos terrenos sobre los cuakes no tenía titulo legal de propriedad.
UN GRAN OBJETIVO JUSTIFICADO
Los que abogamos por la emancipación de una raza y la redención de una patria, representamos un nuevo orden pensante entre nuestro propio elemento. Llámese pensamiento avanzado o pensamiento reacionario, uno o otro nombre no nos preocupa. Si es reacionario para aquellos que buscan la independencia del gobierno, entonces nosotros somos reacionarios. Si es un pensamiento avanzado para aquellos que buscan la libertad y la emancipación, entonces nosotros representamos la escuela avanzada del pensamiento entre los elementos de nuestra propia raza.
El secretario de Estado, doctor Rafael Martinez-Ortiz en una nota oficial exclusiva la Prensa Asociada; manifesto lo sugiente:
Los que tomamos parte en todas y cada una de las actividades de esta organización, creemos que lo que es bueno para los demás también es bueno para nosotros. Si el gobierno es algo que deba estimarse, si el gobierno es algo que es apreciable para ayuda y protección de otros, entonces nosotros necesitamos experimentar en el gobierno. No queremos decir un gobierno que nos haga ciudadanos sin derechos o subditos sin ninguna consideración; nos referimos a una clase de gobierno que ponga nuestra raza en control, tal como las otras razas lo tienen de sus propios gobierno.
Cuba es una nación soberana y en su tratado permanente con los Estados Unidos existen ciertas cláulas que establecen ciertas obligaciones específicas, las cuales han sido asumidas librería por cada una de las partes contratantes, pero ninguna de estas, puede ser aplicada al caso Barlow por los Estados Unidos. La política exterior de la república de Cuba está basada en el respeto a las demás naciones y en un cumplimiento religioso de todas sus obligaciones; pero Cuba pede en cambio que se la trate a ella también de la misma manera.
El gran objetivo de esta organización no sugiere nada fuera de razón, como no lo fue sin razón para Washington, el heroe y padre de este país, el haber luchado por Norte America, craendo esta gran república democrática. No fue irrazonable para los liberales de la Francia el haber luchado en contra de la monarquia, para dar a su pueblo la democracia y el igualitarismo republicano francés. No fue una causa inequivoca la que guió a Tolstoi dar el grito de libertad a la Rusia, dando asl a aqueel pueblo el sistema democrático social ruso, experimento tal que probará ser un faro luminoso y una bendingión para la humanidad.
Los alegatos de Barlow de que se encuentra en posición de decisiones rendidas por el tribunal supremo de la nación, las cuales son favorables a su caso, no son ciertos. Hubiénse rendida una decisión final sobre el caso, cualquiera que esta fuese, se cumpliría al pie de la Jetra. Los tribunales de Cuba son absolutamente libres en el desempeño de sus funciones. El gobierno cubano no ha tomado interés o acción alguna en el caso debido a que la corte suprema no ha decidido sobre él sobre.
si no estuvo fuera del derecho la causa que guió a Washington a luchar por la independencia de su país, y tampoco fue equivocación de los libertales franceses, el establecer la república, es una causa más que de derecho y justa la que persigue esta organización, el guiar a la raza en su lucha por la libertación de su propio palis.
Considererando que no se ha verificado el menor cambio en el status de las reclamaiones de Barlow ante los tribunales, cubanos, el gobierno de la nación se siente incapacitado para-hacer declaraciones que diferan de las que se han hecho hasta ahora por los vias diplomaticas. Es imposible que el gobierno cubano expresse una opinion relativa al caso Barlow sobre la actitud asumida por el comité de Relaciones Exteriores de los Estados Unidos, al autorizar se condujese una investigación del caso Barlow.
Al abogar por los principios fundamentales de esta organización, hemos encontrado que el mayor número de veces no se nos ha entendido, y otras tantas hemos sido mal interpretados por elementos dentro y fuera de nuestra raza, quienes figularmente desconocen el porque de nuestras actividades, Cualquier movimiento de reforma que busque almacenar cargos para beneficio de la humanidad, esta expuesto a ser mal interpretado por aquellos que han tenido siempre la conciencia turbada y el cerebro innoblecido, para guiar y aminorar a los desafortunados; y así proseguir dirigiendo a aquellos que se hayan situado en desvantajas temporales, victimas de las circumstancias que así los rodean.
Este asunto pertence entarmante el gobierno interno de una república anigna de los Estados Unidos. La investigación, mientras se conduce por medio de las vias diplomatica, implica meramente el flevar a terminar una de las prerogativas internas del estado, al determinar el bienestar de sus ciudadanos en el extranjero.
El embajador de Cuba en Washington pudiera presentar si necesario fuese toda clase de documentos relativos al caso Barlow, con objeto de poner este a la luz de la verdad. Estos documentos han sido suministros por el ministerio de Esjad al embajador de los Estados Unidos en la Hahana. Todos los extranjeros gozan aquí de los mismos derechos en relación con sus propiedades, de acuerdo con las clausulas de la constitución, que los ciudadanos de Cuba, y las ascuaciones de Barlow de que muchos interests en Cuba estan siendo amenazados, son falsas y estas aserciones pueden ser probadas.
Esto ha sido el modus operandi Hevado a cabo en casi todos los movimientos sociales y políticos, y aqui que nuesstra organización que tiene fin por conseguir, no se sienta bajo ningún concepto perturbada por el mal entendido o la mala representación que se hagan de sus actuaciones, porque esta institución de la raza lleva un objetivo por adquirir y va recta, directamente a vaciar en moldes firmes el material que va reuniendo para dar formato al plan constructivo, que durante los años de su existencia ha tratado de poner en acción.

Yes—Boothwae! Our Wonderful Boothwae! Our Shakespeare! Our King and anointed One in the Great Heaths of Music. We there ever such universal homage paid, to any other human being, be he philosopher, statesman, warrior, or philanthropist, scientist or artist!
Was he appreciated while here with us? Oh not, of courses not, not in this kind! Nor the Sorberes the Pharisees are still demons and where the heart of the common man is move open to New Light! For you know of old they heard Him gladly, and they have always taken more kindly to new ideas than the uncommon man, so to speak. It was always so, is so today, and will no doubt remain so for a long time to come—this short-sightedness, lack of vision of the educated and well-to-do! Do you realize that this is a mental world? It has not yet been reached. That will come later. History shows how misunderstood and unwelcome are really spiritual men, beginning with the Saviour down to the present day.
I always think of a symphony as the greatest achievement of the human mind. Did I say 'mind'? I should have said soul, for exalted music is not primarily of the intellect, but of the soul; it is spiritual, not intellectual. Just think of building an atheoretical or that it what a symphony is, in the sense of the greatest, structure in the world of architecture and of music. Only the Symptomatic Masters are in the highest rank!
66 is interesting to note that the great ones have come to us in groups of two. First Bach and Handel, both born in 1868, then Haydn and Mozart, then Beethoven and Schubert, then Schumann and Mendelssohn, then Brahms and Lizzt, and last of all, Richthofen Strauss and Max Rexer. There are all symphonic giants.
What do you know about Hummel, Beethoven's contemporary, who was counted his equal and even his superior, for one of the leading critics said, "Of course—we feel young Beethoven has talent but he is so radical) and bizarre. He is a composer like Mendelssohn, a same composer like Hummel, for instance something worth-while might be expected or him."
You might ask why haven't we more opaques and symphonies? You would not expect to raise figs, birds, or even trees where the atmosphere is too chilly, in Greenland, for instance. Neither does music blossom unless there is a warm or mild temperature, as in Italy and middle and southern Germany, spiritually speaking.
But as a nation we are still in our teens artistically. Our day will dawn in due time. Let us be patient.

Old Tribute to Maya
Gods Is Found in a
Yucatan Temple
The discovery of valuable ceremonial articles used by the Mayas in their religious worship in the Buried Temple in Kukatlan has just been announced by Paul Kirchner, the Institute. The discovery came after four years of explorations on the same site where, it was found, three successive temples had been built.
The most valuable discovery, in Mr. Morrilla's opinion, was a limestone jar approximately fifteen inches in diameter and a foot high, which was found a few feet under the floor. It had apparently, Mr. Morris said, been buried centuries ago as an offering to the Mayan gods. Inside it a highly polished mosaic disk of turquoise was found. On this were the bodies of a bird, a jadeite ball and all the parts of a necklace. The jadeite ball is said to have been used by the Mayas in ination.
The mosaic disk which Mr. Morris called the Chichen Mosaic Plaque, is between eight, and nine inches in diameter. The body of it, made of wood, has been reduced to a powder by the ravages of time. As a result, all that holds the mosaic pieces in place is the paste used in making it.
In the plaque's center is a. pink disk, made, it is believed, either of sandstone or a composition of paste.
Caves of Mayas in Belize
Yield Pottery Wealth
BELIZE, British Honduras, May 2. Exploration of Maya caves in the Southern Cayo district has been concluded with most profitable results and much pottery has been found. The most important specimens of this ancient art are two cylindrical orange vases, which, as did one previously found, both contained nashes and probably were funeral urns. One bears two black and red glyphs repeated decoratively, and the other has sixteen different ellyphs, undoubtedly comprising a second statement. Dr. Morley thinks one of the latter is numerical. I believe that another possibly means "west." A third possibly means "dayy," the unlucky five-day period ending the Maya year. The others as yet are untranslatable and Dr. Morley will re-study them with me later. Dr. Morley, Dr. Kilder and Mongaz Aizend of the Carnegie Institution, and Clive Smith of the British Museum, viewed, part of the collection today, confirming my opinion of its high value.
George Valliant, of the American Museum of Natural History, a brilliant specialist in Maya pottery, is coming from Guatemala to inspect the collection, which contains pieces from fifteen to thirty inches high, incised with decorations. They are apparently new pottery, and the pottery of the Third Pyramid in Egypt than the older Maya pottery.

although I wish to emphasize the fact that I personally do not advocate the theory of Egyptian origin of the Mayans. We found additional sub-divisions of the caves. A tomb in one cave yielded jade beads, pendants and ear plugs. We now estimate that the three caves explored housed 2,000 persons. High pockets in the sides of the caves contained pottery, indicating that they were inhabited by a mountain habitat (in the manner of the cliff-dwellers in the south-western United States). A further study of the pottery is required before it can be estimated. Certainly the caves were inhabited in the First Empire.
We discovered & fourth cave nine miles west of the preceding group in the midst of terra cotta roads. Encrouching stalactites blocked many tunnels in the cave, because of which no treasures were found there. Austin is going home with a valuable collection of 200 birds and fifty mammals. I am cataloging, our collection and then will engage in orthological research in Southern British Honduras.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
To the Editor of the Negro World:
When our President General, the Hon. Martin Garvey, was in America we wanted to give him a motor car for his private use, but he would not accept it. Probably 1 did not care to own a car at that time, as traveling in this country is very convenient. But now that his home is in the island of Jamaica, where traveling is not so convenient. I feel that we Garveyites of America should get together through the Garvey Club and send the President General a fine seven-passenger car as a birthday present on his coming birthday.
We of America, have had 'more of President Garvey than any other group of Negroes. Therefore, we should show our appreciation by remembering him personally on his birthday, the greatest of all days. The President General may have a car at the present moment, but that shouldn't make any difference. And I am sure that every Garvey's would like to see our leader sitting on top of the world, for he is our father and emancipator.
So let us consider this proposition and see if we can put it in action, right away. His birthday will be in August, and he will be in Jamaica, a present of this kind waiting for him in Jamaica or be sent to him immediately after his return to Europe.
My donation is ready for this fund
if it is put in action. Let us get busy.
We will be working to help
tear through The Negro World or other
medium. W. E. LAUTHER.
To the Editor of The Negro World:
The Negro world needs to wake up
Negroes. It is time that you wake up
out of your, lethargy and see for
yourself. The Universal Negro
Improvement Association, founded by the
Honorable Marcus Garvey and sponsored by him, has a wonderful program for the Negro race. Its principles are the grandest that have ever been presented and the ground to the other race a program like that of the Honorable Marcus Garvey. He has paved the way for the 400,000,000 men and women of our race. Yet we cannot understand what is in the matter with the Negro.
We need each and every Negro who feels that he can be taught the principles of the organization. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has been on the scene, in the last ten years, in the country, but the Negro is still silent. Can you not are the Negro
authoring more and more? Can you not see the Negro hurry back into slavery? Can you not see the Negro's hell where you are being made hotter and hotter? Then join the organization and close ranks in order that no enemy pass.
We need each and every Negro in our race to line up with us in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and help in the struggle to found a government in our mother country, Africa. It is the only safe refuge for us. Many men are telling us to let down our buckets where we are supposed to get by letting down their buckets in America or any place else other than Africa. For three hundred and fifty years these Negroes have let down buckets and they can't afford to draw these damnable buckets up. It is because they haven't a thing in them. And you will let these buckets down until judgment day if you don't try to let them down in your mother country, Africa. Hell will be your portion

until Bilich comes. Old grandmammus and old granddaddies have let them down so long now they are decrepit. "What are the results?" dim-crooked, segregated, lynched, burned, shot to death, and it is all over.
"Wake up, Negro! Get something in Africa, our only refuge. Send something to Africa; get men in Africa. That is why Africa. But the Zionist movement is directing the principles of the movement to Palestine. The Jew is sending millions of dollars to Jerusalem. They expect some day to have a great, Palestine. So we of the U. N. L. A. who are talking about a government, direct your mind towards Africa. Try and get into Africa and set down your buckets there and your tubes and everything else you have, and when your buckets have been down three hundred and fifty years you will be able to draw them up with your buckets. Negro you put on to be a beggar by letting down his bucket in America.

Deaths Due to Poison Increase in Jamaica
KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 2.—Deaths by poisoning are increasing to an alarming extent, according to the annual report of the official chemist of the colony, which has just been made public. The total number of cases submitted by the police was 379, an increase of 30, over the number analyzed during the preceding year. A great increase in the number of opium or ganga samples, submitted was due to the vigilance of the police in connection with the Dangerous Drug law, the number being 200, compared with 100 for the previous year. An improved chemical method for the collection of trruces of ganga and its preparations has been devised by the Deputy Island Chemist, and used with much success.
Among the samples of poison submitted by the police were several cases in which powderid gasses was used. One case of poisoning revealed the fact that a large quantity of Eosm salts had been added to cooked food by a boy who had been dismissed by his employer. Other chemical results showed asafoetida in a sample of rum, arsenic in coffee, wine and cooked food, lead acetate in water copper, sulphate in milk, corrosive sublimate in sugar, phosphorus in ten. Caffeine was found in the stomach of a race horse. Out of fifteen samples submitted by the police the Food and Drugs law, eleven were found to be adulterated.

ALBANY, May 15—Voters living in districts where personal registration is required receive an extension of time in which to register this year under amendments to the Election Law which were explained today by Secretary of State Robert Moses in connection with the issuance of the annual State political calendar. Under the new provisions a voter who is to be unavoidably absent from his district during the regular registration period may register on Mondays, Fridays or before Saturday noon, any time between July 1 and September 20, by appearing Before the County Board of Elections. The dates for State and judicial convictions may be forward so that these may come as early as September 26, according to Mr. Moses's calendar, which also fixes September 18 as the date of the fall primaries and November 5 as Election Day.
Designating positions may be circulated beginning July 7 and must be filled between August 14 and 22. The last day for declining designating positions is August 24. Independent nominations must be filed between October 2 and 2 and the last day for declining nominations is October 15.
The regular registration days for New York City are October 8 to 13. Inclusive. In other cities and villages of 5,000 or more the regular registration days are October 12, 13, 19 and 20. Non-personal registration is between October 13 and 20. Absentee voters must file their absentee between October 7 and 20. Inclusive.
The final day for filing campaign receipts and expenditures is November 28.
Palestine in Nine Years
Total expenditures and investments in Palestine by the World-Zionist Organization in the nine years ended last September since British occupation amount to $20,000,000, according to the treasurer's report, made public by Louis Lipsky, president of the Zionist Organization of America, a constituent body of the world organization. This amount is exclusive of another $,000,000 expended for land purchase during the nine-sacrific period; $240,000 was paid for immigration, exceeding by nearly $500,000 the expenditures for labor, and more than twice as much as the trade and industry expenditure. The United States contributed more than 70 per cent of the $20,000,000.

NEW YORK, May 14—The Right Rev. William T. Manling obstructed yesterday afternoon at services in St. Martin's Church, a new Episcopal session for Negroes in Harlem at Lenox Avenue and 123rd Street. The Rev. John Howard Johnson is vicar.
To accommodate the large number of worshipful services were held in the open air, where a children's playground is to be opened under the umbrella of the City Mission Society. The Rev. John Howard Johnson interment in the establishment to minister to a great number of Negroes in that part of the city, and spoke in praise of the young vicar.
The Rev. John R. Johnson, vicar of St. Cyprian's Chapel in the Columbus Hill District, and father of the Rev. John Howard Johnson, participated in the ceremonies as did Dr. L. Ernest Sunderland, superintendent of the City Mission Society; the Rev. C. A. Nero, director of the Church of the City Mission; the Rev. L. P. McDonald, Horace Owen, C. A. Dana, and Maximo Duty, chaplains of the City Mission Society.
St. Martin's Church occupies property formerly owned by the Holy Trinity Church. The main auditorium was burned in 1925. Worship will be in the chapel for a time. The site of the old auditorium will be used as a playground.

The sixth-Amnes father-in-law, was a consecrator of the religion of Christ, the Rev. Dr. C. P. Fotter died at the Church of the Divine Paternity, Central Park West and 7th street, New York City. He said:
"The brotherhood of man is a direct corollary of the doctrine of the father-in-law and God. When once a man consoled a child, he was God of all men; that man naturally takes the next step of recognizing other men as his brothers.
"This seems all very simple, but it is the dynamic back of all social reform and progress. The first man to believe in the brotherhood of man to the extent of refusing to make war on neighboring nations was Khu-n-Aten of Egypt, 1850 B. C., and the reason he refused to make war was because he was the first to believe in the One God, the Father of all men.
