The Negro World

JAPANESE STATESMAN SAYS WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO U. N. I. A. IN BRILLIANT TALK AT OAKLAND Dr. Nakashima Stresses Tremendous Power of Nationalism in Enlightening Address to Oakland, Calif., Division— "A Kind of Dynamite" Which the Oppressed Have Never Hesitated to Employ Declares. Famous Leader Has a Feasible Programme Which Embraces All and Should Be Staunchly Supported—Recites Elements of Success and Gives Useful "Don'ts"—The Power of Money The members and friends of the Oakland, Calif., Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association were signally honored on the afternoon of May 27, at the U. N. I. A. Hall, by Mr. Kaora Nakashima, of San Francisco, Calif., Dr. Nakashima, who is the Executive Secretary to the Japanese Consul General at San Francisco, has frequently granted personal interviews to the High Commissioner of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, manifesting on each occasion a keen and attentive interest in the difficulties of the Negro's racial problems. In response to an invitation from the Oakland Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, this scholarly representative of the Japanese nation delivered the following address, on "African Nationalism" to a large and appreciative audience. DR. NAKASHIMA'S ADDRESS Dr. Nakashima spoke as follows: "Mr. Chadman, ladies and gentlemen, it affords me especial pleasure to have the privilege of making a talk before this great organization which is decided solely to the improvement of your race. In spite of my being a native of a different country, I have always felt a singular interest in your people and a deep sympathy with their progress, although I do not know much about your condition here and elsewhere. As to your achievement in the past, as well as for your future plans for improvement, it is needless to say that you know for more than I do. For this reason I fear that I am outruling my individual opinion too much when I venture to speak on such a topic as African Nationalism." There peacefully under the flag of this great commonwealth. Now, do not misunderstand me by thinking that I am trying to instigate the Negro race to assert itself in opposition to the United States, or that I am calling attention of the black people to the desirability of forming a government of their own. That is not my purpose at all in speaking here. I am simply intending to discuss, as one of your fellowmen, how your can best improve the future of your race. The Business of Hating Garvey "As I understand, there are two major purposes in the movement of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. One of these is to maintain the doctrine of a return to Africa, with the ultimate purpose of building there a great Negro republic. The "I understand that there are among your people many organizations which are devoted to almost the same identical purposes, but operate with slightly different methods. Inasmuch as these organizations are entirely sage to me, I shall neither champion nor challenge any one of them. In other words, I am strictly neutral in my attitude towards your political parties, if there exists any differentiation. Although I have temporarily chosen African Nationalism as my topic, I am afraid that my discussion this afternoon will not be strictly confined to the subject, but will be devoted in a rather large measure to the Negro problem in general. "A Kind of Dynamite" The angel *Nationalism* has in much of its vital word *Nationalism*, many countries have deigned their boundaries, and thousands of people have shed their blood in their defense. In a certain sense, it is a kind of dynamite. Scholars are advancing various, widely divergent theories, some seeking to identify nationalism with language and race, while others begin with politics, culture, government or religion. Others again try to define and analyze it in a still more complicated way. But I believe *Nationalism* is no more than a sense of belonging 'together as a nation, and this nation' further means a community associated and organized under one government and living together in a certain definite territory. Therefore *African Nationalism* means a feeling or consciousness on the part of Negroes that they are a distinct race, though living in the same territory under a government in common with other races. However, you were born in this country and, therefore, the United States is, of course, your own land by right of birth, to which you pledge your loyalty. You are living THERE is nothing quite like Bayer Aspirin for all sorts of aches and pains, but be sure it is genuine Bayer; that name must be on the package, and on every tablet. Bayer is genuine, and the word genuine—in red—is on every box. You can't go wrong, if you will just look at the box when you buy it: Bayer Tablet's Aspirin MADE IN Venue Aspirin is the trademark of Bayer Manufacturer of Monocotrienesglycines of BayerLiquidat here peacefully under the flag of this great commonwealth. Now, do not misunderstand me by thinking that I am trying to instigate the Negro race to assert itself in opposition to the United States, or that I am calling attention of the black people to the desirability of forming a government of their own. That is not my purpose at all in speaking here. I am simply inclined to discuss, as one of your fellowmen, how you can best improve the future of your race. The Business of Hating Garvoy "As I understand, there are, two major purposes in the movement of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. One of these is to maintain the doctrine of a return to Africa, with the ultimate purpose of building there a great Negro republic. The principal leader in this gigantic undertaking is, as you all know, Marcus Garvey. Just as the tallest tree at all times encounters the full force of the strongest gate, so too, Garvey has been most harshly criticized as to his movement, even by those of his own race. So many people assert that his scheme has very little possibility, if indeed, any at all of realization, for the purpose is too—idealistic—Still others say that Garvey is insane. Some of the white Americans hate him as a 'fanatite' or 'radical'. These adverse criticisms may be true in some cases, but still we must admit that he is by no means a man of common calibre. Marcus Garvey is a statesman, leader, and ardent patriot. (Amphion.) Beneficial "Insanity" "He is a prophet, who with enthusiasm and sincerity looks forward to the future of his own race. Hence, for the time being he cannot be called insane, for he sees visions which no other mortal has yet been able to see. (Cries of Yes! Yes! and Applause.) This is really a strange world in which we live, for ninety per cent of our civilization is ascribable to this kind of insane persons (Laughter and Applause.) Take, for instance, Napeoleon Bonaparte. When he intended to cross the Alps, the men under his command thought that he was crazy, but he did cross those apparently insuperable mountains! George Washington took up army, with his meigre and untrained band of militia against England, then the mightiest country in the world, possessing a well trained army and navy. At the time, such an undertaking was considered by many as an action that no man of common sense would have dared to attempt. When Columbum thought that India could be reached by sailing Westward, the people ridiculed him by calling him crazy. Saving the Negro "After all, nearly every achievement of any note in the history of mankind was accomplished by this type of man, popularly called 'enry.' In like manner, Mavus Garvey, in no exception, no matter what kind of denunciation may fall, to his lot, his undertaking is truly a manly one. (Loud Applause.) I hope and believe that he will realize his ideal in a not distant future. He can be called a veritable Moses of the Negro race. (Cries of 'Heart' 'Heart') Just as the Jewish people had suffered from despoise rule in Egypt by Pharaoh, so the colored race is now suffering from race-prejudice all over the world. (A voice: 'It's the truth!') Who shall be the leader to save the Negro, and who shall lead him out to the land of liberty, peace and equality? Let us now consider some of the examples of how Negroes are facing their difficult les. Social Equality "I am told that a few years ago, when the Houston Informer, a Negro paper in Houston, Texas, published an article advocating 'social equality,' its secretary was assaulted by a mob in that city. Again attempts were made in North Carolina to prevent a state school from advertising in the Crisis, also well known Negro paper, on the ground that now and then it injects into its editorials a note of radial equality. It was in 1920, in the state of Mississippi, when a Negro preacher named Franklin distributed a few copies of the Crisis in the train was riding. For that reason he was mobilized after he got off the train at a cartain station. A white lawyer who was coming to defend him when he was arraigned was threatened with lynching and was forced to leave him without legal aid. Although this has no connection with the aforesaid case, the Mississippi legislature of 1920 passed. An act to make it a dememoran, to print or publish or circulate printed or published appeals or presentation of arguments or suggestions favoring social equality or marriage between white and Negro races. Canker of Pascual de Canker of Race Prejudice These examples are perhaps nothing new to you; you know quite extreme cases than these. There are many places in the South and North, as well as in the East and in the West, where justice and law do not prevail; where a Negro's dollar is not worth as much as a white man's. These instances are not limited to the United States, but you will find the same situations everywhere in the world. Accordingly, I am not particularly denouncing this country, but I am reproaching it with race prejudice. I believe you would hardly be satisfied to consider this sort of social system and condition as unavoidable. Most naturally you would try to think of some means by which you could escape from this bitter opposition, that is constantly irritating you. You would earnestly seek to remedy the situation by some method through which you could protect your own rights and safeguard your social status. (Applause.) It is, no doubt, the most natural thing for human beings to desire to do. The Universal Cry: for Freedom Looking over the world today, we see here and there and everywhere that the so-called weaker nations have awakened to a sense of nationalism, and are demanding their rights and liberty from their oppressors. They are saying to the stronger nations: We are able to manage things in the way we think proper, and we ought to have a government of our own to suit our people. Give us liberty, land and freedom—then catch what we can do. You will hear this pathetic cry in India, Egypt, the Philippines, and many other places in the world, where they are fighting and struggling in order to secure a government of their own. This is why there is such unrest in the present outlook of the world. The great dynamic word, *Nationalism* which has changed the map of Europe in the last century, is again formulating a like change in Asia and in Africa today. (Prolonged Applause.) No Unrest—No Advancement "The Negro race began also to think most consistently and, seriously as to how it could secure a place and recognition as a nation among the family of nations. Therefore, the entire greatfulness of nations at present is not a phenomenon to be lamented, but rather one on which they ought to be congratulated; for where there is no untested will be no advancement on the part of the so-called weaker nations. (Heart Heart and Applause.) Amalgamationists Given Jolt "Certain members of the Negro race in America are proposing, as a method of solving the race problem and also the best means of establishing their racial equality, the encouragement of intermarriage between blacks and whites. If this could be realized it might perhaps be a splendid plan, but as far as I can see it seems to be too difficult to realize for many centuries. (Laughter.) Some American social observers say that the Negroes today in this country are far more apart from the whites socially than they were at the time when the Revolutionary War closed. If this statement is found to be true, it is a most discouraging fact for the advocates of intermarriage. Another Idea. "Still another idea advanced by thinking men of the colored people is that of educational movement. They believe that only education can bring the Negroes up to the standard that has been attained by the whites, and that only thereby can they compete in any walk of life, whether it be politics, science, business, or industry. Such a man as Booker T. Washington was, of course, this type of leader. This movement, unlike the other, is more practical and there are sufficient proofs for the possibility of realizing such an ideal. Economic Power The third method is the one which particularly stresses economic power. The men who believe in this are led by Jugose K. Jones, the moving spirit of the National Haitian League. The Negro people who belong to this group are endevouring to control the economic power, an the best weapon with which to combat social injustice. This also is a practical and efficient means for strengthening the status of Negroes among the whites, here and elsewhere. Building in Africa The fourth group is the one under the leadership of Marcus Garvey, who fervently advocates the repatriation of the Negro by means of a voluntary migration to Africa. He believes that the Negro people ought to return to Africa and build, a republic of their own. This again is too gigantic an undertaking to warrant an outsider, like myself, predicting success. However, I sincerely and wholeheartly hope that the feasible ones of these movements may be brought to a realization within the shortest possible period of time. The first base, though difficult, may be a good plan if realised, the second and third are the easiest and most practical, but as to (Continued on page 5) People Turning to a Common Political and Economic Leadership — Single Government Possible for the First Time Since 1911 Out of the kaleidoscopic changes which are today taking place on the map of the East there may arise a united China differing sharply from anything known to recorded history. South of the Great Wall, where lies the west area of the old Kingdom of China, a population of some 375,080,000 people is turning toward a common political and economic leadership. This is the belief of Dr. Jeremiah W. Jenks, president of the Alexander Hamilton Institute and long an expert on Oriental affairs. He recently returned from revisiting scenes with which he has been familiar since he served on the International Monetary Reform Commission in China twenty-five years ago. While there he met General Chang Kili-shek and other Nationalist leaders and learned at first hand the plans they have made for consolidating the interests of the Chinese people. North of the Great Wall, and not for the present included in Nationalist China. Iles Manchuria, with possibly 20,000,000 people. This was the stronghold of Chang Tso-lin, war lord who held Peking until a few days ago. If reports of his death are true, it is now also possible that this area may be added to the Nationalist domain, for it has long been known that the people there sympathize with the Southern cause. Though Dr. Jenks is not prepared to advise that the United States immediately recognize the Nationalist government, he says that within a few weeks conditions may make this far-reaching step advisable. Then, for the first time in a generation, the government of the United States will be able to deal with authorities speaking in the name of all China. If the Nationalists are able to consolidate their position and to instill a measure of harmony into the strife-torn atmosphere which has long retarded all progress, the nature of our relations with China may well become a dominant factor in our foreign affairs, he believes. For should a stable government be established, it will mean the blossoming of a nation of united potential wealth and power. - End of First Stage of Program "Apparently," said Dr. Jonks today, "the Nationalists are approaching the end of the first stage" in their program. "It will be recalled that Sun Yat-sen, father of the Nationalist movement, stated that the reform would come in three stages. "The first of these was military. That, we may hope, is nearly ended. "The second was political. That meant the establishing of firm governmental control over all of China. The third is connected with the second, and involves the elevation of the common people, economically as well as politically. This third step must, of course, be a gradual development, extending over years. "If the second phase is now about to be inaugurated it will be important to the people of the United States to know what form of government there will be. "It will probably take about the same form of the regime which has held sway in the South. It will be made up of a national congress of delegates from the various districts and provinces and overseas citizens and called to meet once each year. At the beginning, at least, the delegates will probably largely be selected through appointment." "A central executive committee of thirty-five members will meet every three months. It in turn will name a political committee of fifteen members; a standing committee of the central executive committee of nine members; and a military committee of sixteen members. Of the latter, nine will be military leaders and seven non-military. "Already this form of committee government is functioning. A meeting of the central executive committee was held in late February and early March. "Possibly the most influential man (Continued on page 8) Seville Archives Yield Three Columbus Papers MADKID—There have been discovered in the archives of Seville three curious documents relative to Christopher Columbus—which hitherto were entirely unknown. One is a power of attorney granted by the illustrious navigator, and another is a power granted by his brother, Don Hernandez. These are respectively dated from Salamanca and from Astorica, in 1606. The third document is more curious. It is a reply of the Commercial House of Seville to a royal note ordering it to restore him who discovered the New World a certain quantity of gold that was his property. It is said, in this reply, that Christopher Columbus had not a meravelle belonging to him in the Commercial) House of Seville. These diverse documents have been found in the course of research made in the archives of the protocole with a view to the reproduction of the famous caravel Santa Marina; on which Columbus sailed for the discovery of America, a reproduction which is to figure at the Hipano-Americana Exposition at Seville. ROYAL ALBERT HALL MEETING TRIUMPH FOR ORGANIZATION SAYS HON. MARCUS GARVEY The following cablegram, dated June 7, was received by The Negro World in reference to the first public appearance in Europe of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President:General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association: The American Civil Liberties Union, through Roger N. Baldwin, director, announced yesterday that it was placing all its resources at the disposal of station WEVD, the Debs Memorial station, in its fight to keep its licence. In a letter to sir G. August Gerber, managing director, of the station, Mr. Baldwin said that the Union, considered the threatened revoking of the license, a matter, of free speech and that the legal staff and other resources of, the Civil Liberties body would be used in the battle. It was stated yesterday that Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President, will lead the delegations to Washington that will be organized to protest to the Federal Radio Board. "We are basing our protest against the threatened closing 'down of our station,' said Mr. Gerber, "solely on the ground of free speech. We are in no sense a commercial station. Station WEBD was established as a memorial to the late Eugene Victor Debs, and it has been used from the beginning as a platform from which every shade of opinion can be freely expressed. Trade unions, Negro organizations, Consumers' leagues, Peace societies, minority political parties and Friends' societies have been among those that have used this station. During the last campaign the Citizens' Union used WEBD to broadcast arguments against one of the constitutional amendments before the people. The station is open to any shade of opinion, and will continue to be open, in the spirit of Debs. The air is one of the most important channels for the transmission of ideas, and so long as those upholding ideas hold by the majority of the people have free access to stations of their own. It is rank determination to single out the only station frankly dedicated to the interests of minority ideas for suppression. I am convinced that the commission will reconsider its order when these arguments are presented to it." Dr. Drew Nominated With General Coxey on "Third Party" Ticket Dr. Drew Nominated With General Coxey on "Third Party" Ticket WASHINGTON, June 9.—White Washington gossiped about the possibilities of a third party growing out of issues before the country, one not only was organized, but it was announced today that General Jacob S. Coxey, known for his leadership of Coxey's Army, and been nominated for President and Simon P. W. Digew, a Negro preacher, for Vice-President. The party, the announcement says, is "the Interracial Dependent Political Party, which will be known as the third party." A message to the press extols Dr. Drew, who is listed as president of a real estate company, president of the National Ministers' Alliance, pastor of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Institutional Church and foe of unemployment, and as a man who can draw one of the largest Negro votes in a national election. The third party convention says it represents 15,000,000 cored citizens of the United States. In a resolution tribute is paid to Governor Smith of New York for his appointment to all the plague of a State commissioner and also for naming P. D. Morton as a Civil Service Commissioner for the City of New York. William H. Thompson, Chicago's Mayor, received the thanks of the convention in a resolution commending him for his indorsement of Oscar de Priest for Congress to fill the place of the late Martin B. Madden, Republican leader in the House. A force of field workers for the third party will be organized in Washington, under charge of a church bishop, Sylvester C. Blackledge, who urges: "Rally to General Coxey for President and Dr. Drew for Vice-President, on the third party ticket." Flouting Metric System Penalized in Mexico TAMPICO, Mexico—It is unlawful and expensive to buy the metric system here. A Tampico merchant was fined 200 pesos ($100) for advertising his wares in terms of pounds instead of kilograms. The metric system is supposed to prevail all over Mexico. In the country the Indians often have vague measurements of their own and in the cities Americans and British sometimes lapse into pounds and miles and quarts. Much lapses, in describing or advertising in Tampico, will be followed by fines, the Department of Weights and Measures will be. Miss Alice O'Brien of St. Paul, Minn., who went to Africa last rail to travel from the west to the east coast through the Belgian Congo and the Tanganyika territory, told reporters that the trip had been a complete success, and a great adventure. Miss O'Brien returned to this country a few days ago. She reached Matadi, a Congo river port and the starting point of her African journey, last November and came out on the east coast near Daree-Saaim five months later. One of her avowed purposes was to enjoy herself and to show that a leisurely journey across Africa could be made, in a somewhat longer time, but with very nearly as much comfort and much delight than a journey across Europe or America. Practically the only bother encountered through the absence of civilized conveniences, she said, was the need for precaution to avoid infections and disease from water and native fruits. Miss O'Brien said she had been deeply interested in the nativities of the interior, which, the party studied at great length. More than 26,000 feet of motion pictures were taken, showing many phases of native life. The latter part of the trip was made by boat across Lake Tanganyik and by rail from the coast. The first part of the journey followed the Congo for two-thirds of the total distance. In the jungle elephant trails were used wherever possible, and bicycles formed part of the equipment of the party. The other members of Miss O'Brien's party were Mr. and Mrs. Blair Elandran, also of St. Paul; Ben Burbridge or Jacksonville, Flia. a veteran African explorer, and G.-E. Bell camera man.

Moslems Plot Expulsion Of Ibn Saud, Reported CAIRO. June 10.—A serious plot against Ibn Saud, King of the Hedjaz and Nejd and guardian of the Moslem holy city, Mecca, which may complicate relations between the ruler and the Indian Moslems, was reported in dispatches from Mecca tonight. Following the arrest of a man named Sayed Badulla on a charge of espionage, documents were seized which, it is said, indicated the existence of a movement directed from India for the expulsion of Ibn Saud from Hedjaz. Among the documents was, a letter said to be signed by Shawhat All, resident of the Indian Khalifat committee, and addressed to a man in the Yemen territory, inciting him to attack Ibn Saud and declaring that he would receive the whole-hearted support of the Sunni Moslems in India. The relations between King Ibn Saud and the co-religionists of India and elsewhere has been strained ever since the former seized the holy city. Do You Know What a Woman of 30 Should Weigh?

Ebimber Reviews the Rise of the U. N. I. A. and the Epochal Deeds Performed by the Hon. Marcus Garvey in the Process Says Times Are Changed; No Need to Pray with Eyes Shut—Mr. Fannin Tells What Black Men Have Lost in Africa—Their Very Name LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday Night, June 10.—The forum of Negro liberty was very alive tonight on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting of the New York Local, the faithful followers of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and a large number of friends filling the hall and listening with obvious enjoyment to a splendid program. Mr. J. H. Miller, the genial Vice-President of the New York Local, presided over the meeting in his accustomed efficient way. A fine musical program was rendered, a selection by the Universal-Band, which; under Prof. Ulric Hassell, has made marked improvement, earning well merited appreciation. Hon. Mme, M. L. T. Ebimber, Assistant International Organizer, played a conspicuous part in the meeting, in the course of which she read a letter received from the Hon. E. B. Knox from London, stating that he was proceeding to France on a brief mission for the Hon. Marcus Garvey and would return to the United States late in June. FOR LIBERTY UNIVERSITY To Whom it May Concern: This is to certify that the Board of Trustees of LIBERTY UNIVERSITY have hereby authorized PROF. CALEB G. ROBINSON, President of the School, and Mr. BALFOUR WILLIAMS, Secretary, to solicit funds for the school in order to pay off indebtedness and make improvements for the opening session in the fall. Hoping that you will give them every courtesy possible and give as large a donation as you can afford in order to maintain the upkeep of the school, I am. Youra fraternally, UNIVERSAL LIBERTY UNIVERSITY. E. B. KNOX, Chairman of the Trustee Board. MR8. L. McCARTHY'S ADDRESS Mrs. L. McCarthy, First Lady Vice-President of the New York Local, after expressing her pleasure at being present in that wonderful gathering, said she rejoiced that all ranks were lining up so solidly and pulling together to carry out the plans of their matchless leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. They were proving to the world in unmistakable fashion that Negroes could stick together, that Negroes could pull together. And this brought to mind an article written by a man who called himself a Southern "cracker," who declared he did not fear anything the Negroes would do because they never stuck together. She all the more rejoiced that Negroes of the Universal Improvement Association were disproving this by sticking together, showing they were interested, and following after the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The speaker then dwelt upon the splendid perserverance and skilful guidance of Marcus Garvey, who had brought the Universal Negro Improvement. Association into being and had demonstrated to a cynical, critical and adverse world that the Negro had cused himself from slumber and, turning a new leaf, had made up his mind that whatever others could accomplish was possible to him. MR. RICHARD DURANT'S ADDRESS Mr. Richard Durant said he brought greetings from Local 188, Oakland, California, where he was glad to say the membership was functioning 100 per cent. They were struggling hard against economic conditions common to Negroes everywhere. The machinery age had lessened the need for manpower and, the hardest hit was the Negro, who was forced to sit out of work while machines did the work of several men. It gave him great pleasure to be present in Liberty Hall and drink in the inspiration which the great form of Negro liberty afforded. He wanted to let the members of the New York Local know that the eyes of all the divisions in the United States, nay, the eyes of the membership throughout the world, were upon Liberty Hall; for by Liberty Hall they had come to gauge the condition of the organization. On receiving the Negro World, he said, the first thing that members did was to read the front page message of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and from this they turned to the Liberty Hall news. From Liberty Hall emanated inspiration that permeated the whole world, so it was a source of great gratification and pride to him to see that Liberty Hall was admirably holding its end up and keeping the colors, gloriously flying. Mr. C. HARRISON'S ADDRESS Mr. C. Harrison was the next speaker. 'Af the outset he mentioned that Hon. Mme. M. L. T. Eblimber had just returned from the State of Virginia—country well known to him, since it was in Virginia he had first become a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, having thrown in his fortunes with the Berkeley Division under Mr. Hobbs. Taking as his subject "The Dawn of a New Day," Mr. Harrison said tonight it was becoming universally accepted that something peculiar and strange had taken place in the life of the Negro. Many people did not understand the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but there was one thing they could not fail to realize, and that was that there was a new spirit of freedom in the air. What Freedom Does Not Mean Freedom did not mean being able to smoke a ten-cent cigar. There were some Negroes who were walking the streets, out of work, practically starving, and yet if you asked them how they were, they would reply "Fine! First!" That unfortunately, was some Negroes' conception of life. If he were breathing, he thought he was living—he did not know he was merely existing. The Universal Negro Improvement Association had changed, was seeking to change all that. For 5,000 years Negroes had not lived. Not afflicted the white man brought—the Negro to America and the West Indies had the Negro lived, and the Negro could never be said to be living while the white man, the white, of the 20th century, ruled. He wanted to say that a new day had dawned for 400,000 black souls through the advent of Garveyism. For him Garvey was the God of black Ethiopia. Negroes Must Know Themselves If any man have Christ in him, it was declared he was a new creature; and if Garvey resided in any man, he was a new creature. Old things had passed away. They even did not pray in the old-time manner. Once upon a time when they prayed it was compulsory that they kneel; today when they prayed they stood up. No longer did men shut their eyes while they were praying; they looked up. Speaking for himself, he had embraced the new religion of Marcus Garvey, and that was why he felt himself one of the happiest Negroes in the world. Christianity was a militant thing. History taught that the men who embraced Christianity in days gone by had little patience with those outside the pale. Over a thousand years ago it was written that the Christians turned their guns on Alexandria and burnt the library of the black race at Alexandria, destroying 700,000 volumes that dealt with the Negro race, that contained the history of black men's existence upon earth, his religious conceptions, and so forth. Negroes today were viewing God through the white man's spectacles, and that is why Marcus Garvey had told the Negro to get a scientific knowledge of himself and of God. Courage needed The speaker concluded with an exhortation that Negroes everywhere follow the example of the Hon.

FANNIN followed and in his characteristic: vigorous manner made a few stabs at those who profess to see no good in the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for a free and redeemed Africa. "I will tell you," he said, "some of the things the Negro has lost in Africa. In the first place the Negro has lost the respect of the black woman; the Negro has lost his mind; the Negro has lost practically 12,000,000 square miles of land; the Negro has lost in Africa half of the wealth of the world; the Negro has lost his very name in Africa, he has lost, to a great extent, his racial identity." The speaker ended with a declaration of his abiding faith in the principles and program of the U. N. I. A., and in its matheless leader.

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 Commissioner 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.

In a novel and engaging manner, taking the dial of the clock as a symbol, she started from one o'clock—1918, when the Hon. Marcus Garvey first organized the Universal Negro Improvement Association and eloquently portrayed its rise to the status of the greatest Negro organization in the world, the various epocalyptic things accomplished by the leader, the Hon.

To go round and round in a mental cage like a squirrel, repeat. the same phrases, making the same weak affirmatives and then doing the same thing over and over again. The only cure is to dash out suddenly, break away, do something different and the nono is able to take a deep breath, and move out and cut into new spaces. Are you in a vicious circle? Are you tired or heavy haden? If so, break away resolutely, suddenly as when one steps out into the cold and bracing waves at the seasonshire. GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON. The Negro needs everything in education that is available to everybody else. He has to compete for a living with every race and nationality on the globe. He needs skilled tradesmen to do the technical work in shop and on farm that makes life comfortable in these modern times. He needs skilled physicians to advise him in health living to cut down the high death rate that now exists. He needs competent law-trained men to protect his civil and political rights and to guide him in his business expansions. He needs scientists to look into the common things of everyday life and discover the uncommon things that are in abundance around us that maintains and prolong life. He needs captains of industry, manufactures, wholesalers and retailers to follow the raw material from farm through factory to finished product and through the complex system of distribution to the markets of the world.—Oklahoma Eagle.

LIBERTY UNIVERSITY FUND To the Editor of The Negro World: Nineteen thousand cases of measles in New York city already this year. One hundred and seventy-nix deaths from measles since January 1. Such are the figures given out a few days ago by Health Commissioner Harris. On the printed page the item looks insignificant—but lot us remember it means that 170 homes have been darkened by death; that if simple precautions had been used in all these cases few if any of these young lives would have been destroyed. Commissioner Harris rightly points out that these figures do not tell the whole tale, that menaces, neglected—as the disease" too often is—frequently leads to fatal broncho-pneumonia and thus is responsible for many more deaths than are directly attributable to it. Nor is that allie. Menaces, too commonly regarded as "harmless," may leave pernicious effects upon those who recover from the disease itself. Many times there are complications which do not end fatally but which permanently disable or cripple the little victim. This is written in the hope it may be read by parents who by exasperating a little care may protect the lives and the lifetime health of their children, for this present epidemic may not abate for several weeks. Do not expose children to menaces. Remember, too, that they stand a better chance \of "coming through" menaces unharmed at the age of six or later, than when younger. If a child has a slight fever, with symptoms of a "common cold," and watering eyes that are sensitive to light, put the child to bed, call a physician, and keep all other persons — particularly children—out of the room.

Foster, Negro, Breaks World's Record WASHINGTON, June 6.—Wesley Foster of Wenatchee, Wash., broke the world's record for 175-yards in 16.6 seconds at the Pullman athletic meeting last Friday afternoon. The former record, held by Charles Paddock, world's 100-yard champion, was 17.4 seconds. Foster's record was made in the dual track meet between Washington State College and the University of Oregon. Running in the 220-yard dash for Washington State, the Negro "Sash" was clocked at the 175-yard mark. Getting off to a perfect start, he led the field easily all the way to the finish. Although Foster was declared not, to have been favored by wind or other conditions, fears were expressed that his mark would not be recognized, due to the absence of an official of the Amateur Athletic Union. At the same meet Foster also won the 100-yard dash. C. P. B.

PROGRESSIVE POLITICS THE EYES of the world are trained on Kansas City this week. There a great political battle is in progress to choose the man who will be the Republican standard-bearer in the coming National elections. Many other things of importance will be done here, but they will receive scant notice from the majority of people. The world is mainly interested in who will be the man chosen by one of the two dominant parties to represent it for president. This man may be the next leader of the greatest nation on earth. The Negro is there, too, playing his part as best he may. He, in common with his political associates, is interested in the choice of white man's president in a white man's country, but above all things, he is fighting, fighting, fighting to secure for the 15,000,000 black citizens of America the thing that they were supposed to have received more than fifty years ago. Out of 1,089 delegates, we are told that there will be sixty Negroes. Not many; but certainly a voice loud enough to be heard in the warmness of prejudice called America. It is interesting to note the gradual political metamorphosis of the Negro in these National conventions. Time was when the Negro is a known quantity in the political equation. Those were the days when the Negro who was fortunate enough to be permitted to tend a convention dared not raise his voice in protest against anything, for fear that this coveted privilege would be withdrawn from him. Then it made no difference how pugnacious a Negro politician appeared among his people at home, he subsided into a meek, unaltered "yes-man" when he reached the convention. Not so today. And we rejoice at the outlook. Race consciousness is so developed that Negroes are black men primarily, and Republicans or Democrats secondarily. And they want the world to know Men and measures, with "measures" as the chief consideration. His attitude will tend to strengthen the political power of the race America. When there are Republicans in the race with all sorts of cleanings, and Democrats who may jump the political fence at any one, there are men who must be converted to certain issues, and those vote must be sought as a precious thing. Therein lies political power. There is no power in political certainty. Paradoxical as it may seem, much of the political strength of the Negro, which he has acquired in the last two decades, can be traced directly to the fact that he has slowly, but surely, divided his vote. His change has been very gradual and is the direct result of increased intellectuality and race consciousness. The Negro no longer believes that a thing is true because "the white man says so," nor does he pursue his political career blindly with no thought for the progress of the race as a group. Today the black American demands results from his leaders which will benefit not only one man, but the group which has sent him forth to represent it. Present-day leaders, therefore, realize that to survive they must do more than just on the political hand wagon and take a pleasant ride. In line with this new policy, we read that certain prominent Negro republicans are urging that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments be included in a plank concerning the 18th amendment which author Borah proposes to put into the Republican platform. They realize even more than the average Negro, with intelligence, but no particular political enthusiasm, the tremendous power of the ballot in this so-called Democracy. With full power to use its franchise, the Negro American will have in his hand a weapon for which the white man has the utmost respect. With full power to vote and be elected to office, the Negro will have to be respected, and sought because of his numerical strength. Which is as it should be. We do not want to be too sanguine, but a new political day seems be dawning. We are glad of the passing of the average politician the old school. And we applaud the arrival of the fearless, aggressive, race conscious Negro political leader, who cannot be soft-soaked to silence when the destiny and well-being of the race is at stake. So much praise cannot be given to those who are helping to raise a political standard of the American Negro. Group progress, not personal perf, must be the watchword.

IS not without a significant purpose that Hon. J. A. Craigen, of the Detroit Division, and one of the High Commissioners, and Dr. Caleb G. Robinson, President, and Mr. Balfour Williams, Secretary of the Universal Liberty University, have been designated by Hon. E. B. Knox, by and with the advice Hon. Marcus Garvey, to make an extended visit to the local organizations for the purpose of arousing more interest and enthusiasm and greater financial support for the upkeep and discharge of necessary obligations of the University.

Robinson, President, and Mr. Balfour Williams, Secretary of the Universal Liberty University, have been designated by Hon. E. B. Knox, by and with the advice of Hon. Marcus Garvey, to make an extended visit to the local organizations for the purpose of arousing more interest and enthusiasm and greater financial support for the upkeep and discharge of necessary obligations of the University. The maintenance of an educational institution such as is designed to make Liberty University is very great and constant. The best endowed and oldest universities in the United States are constantly clamoring for more money to carry out their numerous educational plans, and it is natural that universities without endowments have a difficult problem before them all of the time. Liberty University is in this situation. It has mortgage obligations on the property to meet and interest charges; it must have a competent faculty to manage the several departments, and it must have a large body of students who seldom pay as much into the school as they take out of it in expense incurred on their account. There can be no intelligent or effective association work without a substantial basis in education of the highest and best. This is necessary in order to cope with modern forces which are making THE NEW YORK TIMES for the conquest of the earth and the fullness thereof for their benefit. The man who doesn't know a diamond from a pebble or a grain of gold from a grain of sand, who doesn't know how to differentiate soil values—whatever line of activity, he determines to pursue the more and higher the education he has the more likely he will be to succeed. Science has done more in the past fifty years to enlighten mankind on the potential values in the air, in the earth, and in the waters, than heretofore had been dreamed possible. The invention of farm implements operated by steam power has revolutionized human labor problems and made mass production on large scale the leading factor in most industries. The conquest of the air for radio and aeronautics has been one of the most remarkable developments in the history of mankind. The Negro in the United States, West Indies, Latin America and in Africa who does not possess the same sort of complete education that the white teach in their universities to the highest and best advantage in the results cannot hope to compete with the whites. This has been notably the case in Africa, whose priceless values have been unearthed by the high intelligence of the white man and his high development of the telegraph, telephone and railroad and steamboat transportation. The Negro's lack of this education in Africa has made him the lowest paid laborer and has placed him in the position of being practically a slave in his own country without any participation whatever in the appraisement of his social, civil and economic values. The vast wealth of the country is fast passing in the hands of the white man because he knows how to appreciate these values and how to use them to the best advantage, while the Negro does not. We need all the effectiveness that can be got out of Liberty University for the benefit of Africa and we need to give all encouragement and assistance to the growing schools in Africa which aim to unify the aims of the people and enable them to get out of their values the most, and not the least, for their own benefit. THE PLIGHT OF THE PULLMAN PORTER HEYWOOD BROUN coined a happy phrase when he characterized the Pullman Company as a panhandler. Some federal police officer should take away the tin cup from this corporation, he says, and confiscate its pencils. Here is a great private corporation, paying fat dividends to its shareholders, and denying, as a settled policy, to the thousands of Negro men and women who so efficiently serve it and provide its dividends, even the right to organize and ask that they be granted a moderate wage; that they and their families be not forced to depend for meat and bread and the bare necessities of life upon the whims and dimes of the traveling public. Working—we should have said "slaving"—240 hours a month, these men and women, so unfortunate in their employers, and whose efficiency is a national byword, receive on the average $25 a week—tips, which amount to a little less than $15 per week, included. They organize and make a coicerted plea for humane treatment—for shorter hours, and a wage which would make them independent of tips and restore to them some modicum of honor, and they are ruthlessly rebuffed. "They organize and threaten a strike. The United States Railroad Mediation Board finds that "no emergency exists." The Pullman Company laughs in the men's faces and threatens to fill their places, in case of a strike, with Filipinos and such white men as happen to be unemployed and willing to seab. The American Federation of Labor, whose co-operation is sought by the leader of the porters' organization, sympathizes, but advises a postponement of the strike and a recourse to a "campaign of education and public enlightenment regarding the justice of their cause and seriousness of their grievances." The strike is called off. The Pullman Company still grins. The trains still roll. The hardy white-jacketed victims of a band of heartless capitalists must still toil and fawn to cajole diples from the Pullman's patrons. And these victims are black men and women all, no powerful voices raised in their behalf, compelled by economic ineptitude and an inglorious perch on the ledge of white civilization to endure or hunger.

Thomas Fortune, dean of American Negro journalists, were as he would have had them—simple, quiet, dignified—typical of his life during the last decade, when, weared and worn by his strentuous journalistic and political activities in his early years, he became the sage and seasoned editorial writer and columnist, guiding the destiny of his people and pointing out the pitfalls from the wealth of his experience. At the last, he was surrounded by only those who knew him well. A small company, each with, a loving memory of the generous, warm-hearted, fearless but gentle friend lying so still in death. The service was brief, in accordance with the last wishes of the deceased. It opened with a short prayer by Bishop Alexander Heard of the A. M. E. Church. After the singing of "Nearer, My God, to Thee," a portion of the Plae Psalm and the fifteenth chapter of Paul's first letter to the Corinthians were read by Fevered J. E. Rogers of Burlington, New Jersey. After the singing of "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," Fevered Rogers read a brief sketch of the life of the deceased. Short talks on the life of Mr. Fortune were given by Congressman Thomas Miller, Mr. T. B. Patterson of Hampton, Virginia; Father Yensen of the Episcopal church of Trenton, New Jersey, and. Bishop Heard. Each of these men told his own interesting story of his long years of association with the deceased. A selection from "Thals," by J. Massonet, was played by Mrs. Alethe H. Jefferson, who presided at the piano during the service, which closed with the committing of the body. Interment was in Eden Cemetery, Philadelphia. For two days the body lay in state in the undertaking parlor of Mr Royal S. Wenver. Fitzwater Street, where the funeral service was held. Mahy beautiful floral offerings were sent by prominent men, women and newspapers throughout the country. Letters of condolence were too numerous to be read at the service. The palacebearers were Major Edward W. Henry, Dr. J. Q. McDougall, Mr. L. O. Summergait, Dr. Charles W. Dorsey and Dr. Harold Norwood.

ALICE ASSERSON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Care of the Feet We hear a great deal about mouth health and foot health an' skin health and other kinds of health today. This is natural, because we have learned that' health—real' health—involves every part of the body. All our organs must be functioning properly to keep us in good general condition. However, even though we know this, we often do not take care of our bodies as we should. For instance, our feet need good care. They are the foundation on which our bodies stand. They carry us about from place to place, walking over hard cement city pavements, all day long. Care of the feet involves, first of all, proper shoes. Far too many women abuse their feet disgracefully nowadays by wearing shoes with extremely high heels and very pointed toes. Common sense should tell us that we cannot expect to keep our feet healthy if we bind them in shoes so poorly adapted to the normal shape of our feet. A good shoe should have a straight inner line, should fit snugly over the arch, should have heels that are not too high and toes that are fairly broad. Such a shoes does not have to be ugly. There are many attractive shoes which possess all the characteristics of "sensible" shoes and are also pleasant to look at. Many also develop foot trouble from improper use of the feet in standing and walking. Point the feet straight to the front in walking. The weight should be supported on the outside of the feet. Proper care of the feet demands that we bathe them every day. It is necessary to change the stockings often, too every day if your feet persep freely. Changing the shoes often also rests the feet, and shoes wear longer then. Some people exercise their feet at regular intervals, thus helping to keep them in good condition. We need organization. We need to get together. We need to weed out of the public eye men who try to construct such efforts. Really, we are in a vertical stage of our existence. However, the conditions of the times should not control us. We should control them. We are the masters of our fate, we are the captains of our soul. What we organize to do and require to do—we can do.—Methotrex Triamide. One writer said that the world really belongs to those who can harness it and keep it. This fellow must have been an imperialist or son of an empire builder. The conclusion smacks of imperialism rather than human justices. God never banegeth this expensive universes with its priceless treasures for man's happiness to any one group of people or any particular set of men. When He said, "Let-there be light," God had stocked the earth—man's storehouse—with sufficient supplies for those than living and those who were to come after. So far as actual living is concerned man can be satisfied with much less than what he must now have, but the more he digs into the vast resources at his command, the more he is eager to kill off his brother and hog all for himself. It is this phase of man's conduct, his greed and selfishness, which accounts for the chaos and confusion with which society is now obsessed. Races are killing off races, nations exterminating nations, individuals crushing individuals, all in the mad scramble to harness the world and keep it, for themselves. For the Negro to remain indifferent in the midst of this rampage, for him to be conservative in spite of what is happening ground and about him, is to invite a catastrophe of huge proportions. If the Negro is to survive in the race for a livelihood he must go into every section of his Master's vineyard and garner what supplies he can lest his white and yellow brothers complete the looting and leave him to a tragic fate. Must Look to Africa Those of us who point the Negro to Africa as his one hope of racial security are conscious of the desperate race now on between the white and yellow races for economic privileges. Fortunately, Africa is the one field where competition has not reached the freezing point. The economic resources of Africa can take care of the world's population for at least ten more centuries, while that of Europe and the United States can hardly last another three hundred years. South and Central America can only depend upon certain limited commodities in which the white and yellow peoples already hold the monopoly. Asia is a closed corporation dominated by the Orientals. Africa is the one field where the Negro can successfully challenge the economic supremacy of his oppressors. It is to the motherland we must look in our quest for a sound guarantee of racial security. "Up from Slavery," the intimate revelation of the struggles and successes of the late Booker T. Washington, written by the great industrial teacher himself, has been translated into the language of Mustapha Kemal Pasha for the inspiration of the young Turk. Great Britain, after years of fruitless efforts to formulate an educational program that would meet the spiritual and temporal needs of her African natives, has transplanted the Tuskegee idea to her African colonies. White America, the chief benefactor of Mr. Washington's labors, drunk with prejudice and racial intolerance, does not think as well of the book as "the unspeakable Turk"—there's no abiding place for it in her educational institutions by which millions of white and colored students might profit from the vision, the indomitable fortitude and courage of the sage of Tuskegee. Time will prove, what a great many white men and Negroes are too narrow to concede just now—that Booker T. Washington was not merely an unusual Negro, a leader now of his race, but he was one of the foremost world figures in racial adjustment. He was for peace and understanding between the two races. His program of industrial education for his race was based upon this ambition. If he had yielded to his friends and the radicals of his time he would have died "unwept, unhonored and unsugr." George Washington was "the father of his country." Patrick Henry ennobled American patriotism. Alexander Hamilton gave us the finest fiscal system of any nation—Nono of these, however, excelled in his chosen field the achievements of Booker T. Washington in his own. He belongs to that so-called group of men and women who have contributed much to the happiness of mankind and the peace of the world. "Up From Slavery" is not alone a book. It is a lighthouse whose brilliant ray illuminates the whole universe from the campus of Tuskegee. Society is so contaminated with immoral practices, so weighted down with sin and corruption that we too often forget that villain band of humanitarians whose lives are consecured to our spiritual development and general welfare. We are reminded by their gallant comrades that the names of eight distinguished men have been added during the last year to the list of "martirs of science"—research workers who have given their lives in the quest for knowledge. Dr. Hideyo Hoguchi, Dr. Adrian Stokes, Dr. R. Gullet, died in West Africa, victims of yellow fever, for which they bought a positive cure. Dr. Alvaro Alvin, a Brazilian roentgenologist, died as a result of his experiments with X-rays. Dr. Maximo Memard, French roentgenologist, died from the effects of similar researches. George C. Williams, London radiologist, after submitting to 10 operations, died as a result of his studies. Dr. Alexander Brogdard, a Russian, lost his life after transfusing the blood of a tubercular student to himself. Dr. S. Rawson Wilson, an English anaesthetist, died while experimenting on himself in search of a form of general anaesthesia that would permit patients to retain consciousness. In every country there is a small group of men and women who have voluntarily dedicated their lives to the service of humility. Hidden away in seclusion, behind closed doors and in up-to-date laboratories, these seekers of knowledge toll unceremoniously, absorbed in their experiments, eager to rid society of those human alliances who rob us of youth and the essence of life. In spite of our indifference to their interest in our welfare it is doubtful whether we can make them happier, add to their zeal and inspiration by praise and adulation. Humanitarians do not solicit applause nor grave publicity—always with them is that consciousness of life worthwhile, of a duty performed, than which there is no greater peace of mind. They build their own monuments and write their own epitaphs. Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his brother." It is from such an affection that peace is born, that races and nations are welded together in one common bond of fellowship. Let us perpetuate it. Garvey in Europe Marcus Givley is in Europe cementing white public opinion in the interest of national status for the Negro people of the church.

This is the tragedy of the world betrayal in business, in politics, in social life, in church, everywhere we see men's close friends betray them—those who were trusted, go back on their trusts and sell out to the enemy.

Education broadens and lengthens one's vision, thus making it possible for him to see and more accurately judge the consequences of the courses of procedure and the future, through the magnifying glasses of history and comparison. Again, education makes one reasonable, and respectful of the rights of others, rids one of self-conceit and enables him to recognize the difference between facts and feelings, substances and shadows - essential factors in civic, commercial and social development. - Shreveport sun.

Either democracy is workable or it is not. If it is, its laws should be enforced or repealed by due process. To say it is workable, only so long as it leads to white supremacy, is to deny it. We go back to first principles when we say, that the rape of the Negro's rights brings the patition to the place of decision. It faces universal law observance and national vigor, or nullification and national extinction.

June 9.—If the Republican party writes into its platform a declaration for enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, it must include the Fourteenth and the Fifteenth," is the slogan of Negry leaders here today. The report that Senator Borah is on his way here with a plaik naming the Prohibition Amendment specifically has arused Southern G. O. P. leader, and wet members of Congress. S. D. Redmond, Negro delegate, who has been selected for the Mississippi member of the Committee on Platform and Resolutions, said he would insist on pledging the Republicans to a more vigorous enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. "Why should there be any discrimination?" said he. "It is well known to Senator Borah and other prominent party men that these are being ignored. Every Negro delegate here should resent any plan to favor the Eighteenth over the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments." Negroes Demand "Justice" Thoroughly ingested over this matter. Negro delegate, were busy today calling on their white friends from other States, urging them to stand by them in their efforts to get justice. "Nogro leaders in attendance at the convention," said a statement issued by Redmond of Mississippi; Robert R. Church, Tennessee; John T. Risher, District of Columbia; Ben J. Davis, Georgia; Walter L. Cohen, Louisiana, and Roscoe Simmons and Oscar Depriest, Illinois, "are planning to make a determined fight to have a plank inserted. In the platform committing the party to the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution. They feel the amendments, involving their suffrage rights are as sacred as the Eighteenth Amendment. The Negro voters throughout states where they exercise considerable influence have always looked with some degree of apprehension on the expenditure of millions of dollars by the Federal Government to enforce, the Prohibition amendment while it has refused to give aid to the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth. Howard to Champion Plea Perry W. Howard, Republican National Committeeman from Mississippi, the Special Assistant, to the Attorney General of the United States, will argue for inclusion of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. "That proposal of Senator Borah," said he, "is very vital to the South. I am not opposed to the enforcement of the Prohibition Amendment, but I cannot see the difference.

Dinnfield, speaking for thirty five temperance associations, said today his organizations are ready to support the Borah plank. They demand an enforcement plank with real teeth in it. On this subject the Negro leaders here are united. They are divided on candidates, but they wrist the same sort of platform touching racial relations. Lowden Workers Busy While Secretary Hoover has the support of a majority of the Negro delegates seated, Mr. Lowden is said to have the greater number of colored workers. Lowden headquarters was the scene of great activity on the part of Negroes who have been for him President since 1520. There is some uneasiness in the Hoover camp lest the Negroes fall to stick in a crucial moment. The protest against the ousting of a large number of Southern Negroes by the National-Committee early this week is growing louder and wider spread. It was decided today to take a large number of cases to the Committee on Credentials. Cohen of Louisiana claims the entire delegation should be against Hoover. Ten of his delegates, he adds, were refused seats. The anti-Hoover group assent the Florida delegation also should be anti-Hoover, but if the Credentials Committee does not come to the rescue all will go for Hoover. Friends of Howard of Mississippi demand reconsideration of the delegation from his State. They declare the twelve Hoover delegates should be turned out. · JAPANESE STATESMAN (Continued on' page 2) the overcoming of rule prejudice, that will not make such an effect as we hope, for no matter how well the Negro may be educated there will still be a great social distance between him and the whites. As long as they live among whites they probably will not be able to eradicate the deep-rooted prejudice merely by education or economic power. The Garvey Plan All-Embracing The last one, that is, the creation of a Negro republic in Africa, might be the best if it could be brought to reality in the near future. This, as I have already said, is a tremendously difficult enterprise but, when realized, no other method can better satisfy the longing and burning aspirations of your race than this plan. You will then have a country of your own where there will be no prejudice, no unequal treatment, no discrimination by courts or otherwise by reason of your racial differences. You will then be master of your house, and you will not be tormented and afflicted constantly by the irritable question of racial prejudice. (Loud applause.) Therefore, as a principle, every one of you, regardless of to which one of the preceding groups you may belong, can fully support the last plan I mentioned, namely, Garvey's plan to build a Negro republic. (Pandemonium of applause and choirs greeted this declaration.) In fact, most of you assembled here this afternoon are, I believe, the supporters of this movement. Gigantic as the undertaking is, it is perfectly possible to redeem Africa by Africans, so that it is your duty to work toward the attainment of this glorious goal. (Great applause.) Five Elements Necessary "But in order to facilitate the realization of this ideal it is most vitally necessary for your efforts to have five distinct elements. In the first place, you must have good leaders. These leaders ought to be men who are unselfish and self-sacrificating, with lofty ideals and high character, so as to secure the full support of their fellowmen. In the second place, you must have money, or financial power, in order to realize the doctrine of 'Africa for Africans.' If you do not possess this power, all your talk and all your hopes will be nothing more than building castles in the air. Especially, in the world today and tomorrow you cannot do anything unless you have economic power. John D. Rockefeller says: The two most important words for a young man are "patience" and "economy." But these two words are just as important to grown-up people as they are to young men. "In the third place, each of you must become a powerful man, not only in a physical sense, but mentally, morally and spiritually. This world is ruled by power, without which you will be bound to perish without the intervention of external power, Noah Webster said. Power is always right, weakness always wrong. We can not take this maxim at its false value, but yet there is some truth in it. To build a country of one's own is an excellent idea, but what is the use of building one that is weak and helpless? The mere creation of a small, powerless country is much worse than not to create one at all. Look at the world of today! There are too many weak countries detrimental to the stronger ones! If you are to build one, build one that is good and strong. (Appease.) In the fourth place, you must unite all of your people into one solid and harmonious body, guided by a man of the highest moral character. A nation which cannot unite, will always be the prey of one that is united. (A voice: 'Hear! Hear!') Individual power is limited, but united power is always unlimited. In the fifth place, you must increase in number. I do not mean to include a large number of men physically and mentally defective, but men of forceful type and of better mental capacity. You must attain to a higher plane of racial advancement in order to insure the production of greater men. (Applause.) "When you have all these five elements you have achieved about ninety-five per cent of the ideal which Marcus Garvey has been proaching. It is very encouraging to note that the Negroes in this country are gradually proving their potentiality for such an undertaking as building the Negro commonwealth. The accusation against Negroes to the effect that they, are born mentally inferior can easily be refuted by such men of the present day as Dr. Carver of Tuskegee; Dr. Ernest Just of Howard University; Dr. Julius Lewis of the University of Chicago; Dr. Theodore Lawless of North Western University; Dr. Woodson and many others. A few years ago, Dr. Alexander of New Jersey was hailed by both Negroes and whites as the first man of your race to be elected as the Speaker of the House of that State's Legislature. Miss Eva B. Dykes of Washington was conferred the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at Radcliffe College, Cambridge, Mass. Not only are the Negroes producing men of higher type, but they are attaining higher planes in the financial world as well. I will quote from the statement made in May, 1930, by Senator Spencer of Missouri, who speaks most eloquently to prove what a wonderful progress the Negroes are making in this country. He says:— "Since they obtained their freedom from slavery they have acquired property worth more than $1,000,000,000. They have acquired lands exceeding 21,000,000 acres—an area greater than the entire State of South Carolina—and they cultivate as much more. In fact, they either own or rent about two-thirds of the cultivated land of the South. "During the first fifty years of their freedom, the American Negroes saved nearly double that sum, or $70 aplace, an aggregate of $700,000,000. "They own 100 insurance companies. They, own and conduct banks with a capitalization of nearly $20,000,000 and an annual business of $20,000,000. "The Negro is not lacking in inventive power; and more than a thousand patents have been issued to him. He is not lacking in literary power, but edits and publishes 500 newspapers and other periodicals. He is patriotic. The Negroes gave $225,000,000 for Liberty Bonds and for war work activities. Two Negroes were the first soldiers of the American army to be decorated for bravery during the World War, and four entire Negro regiments received the Croix de Guerre for herelism in action. In addition, about 400 Individual Negroes received medals of honor for bravery. It is a most striking fact that 74.60 per cent of the Negroes examined for the draft were accepted, and only 69.71 per cent of the whites." Four Valuable "Don'ts" "Against these favorable conditions, however, there are not a few signs which cause some pessimism. To clear away this gloomy shadow, allow me to give you four 'donts'; DONT be discouraged in the face of hardships that are bound to come, one after the other. DONT give up and become rockless, but be patient, enduring adversities for the attainment of higher hopes in the future. DONT undervalue yourselves, but try to cultivate self-respect, for you can thereby attain to the same point as has been reached by others. DONT be satisfied with your present condition; endeavor to rise higher in whatever occupation you may be following. Your past does not count, but your present plans and ideals determine your ultimate destiny. If you can watch for these four horsemen of Apocalypse, so to speak, the future of your race will be very bright. (Applause.) Besides, if you can acquire all the fundamental necessities I have already prescribed for you, you are fitted to grasp the first opportunity that may present itself. For the uplifting of your race, as well as for the building of a Negro republic, higher education is very necessary; economic power is extremely important, leaving out of the list moral training; but you must at the same time be courageous and respond to the call of your leader, when he comes to you and asks your cooperation. No Peace Until Afaism is Secured "We all aspire to the achievement of world peace. Peace does not necessarily mean a state of not being engaged in a conflict of arms. To give ease to human minds is another form of perfect peace. There, will be no eternal peace in the minds of the Negro race, until it receives back the country, Africa, which rightfully belongs to it. (Prolonged applause.) Negroes need and ought to have a land where they can live without being oppressed and agitated by the interference of other nations. (Cries of 'Yes!') Too idealistic it may seem at first, yet the plan of going back to Africa can be realized in a not distant future, provided you acquire those five fundamentals which I have already mentioned, namely, leaders, money, power, population and unity. (More applause.) Depends Upon the Individual "Marson Carver" is not the only leader. Each one of you should be a leader also. You do not have to attempt to create the great Negro Empire within a decade or two. Great work needs a longer time and more careful consideration. You have the will as well as the ability to material- SAFE THE LARGEST SELLING ASPIRIN IN THE WORLD FOR 10¢ ONE DOZEN 10¢ St. Joseph's Pure ASPIRIN 5-GRAIN TABLETS AS Pure AS MONEY CAN BUY When pimples cause you worry and shame!

To realise or get to realise the great republic predicted for you depends entirely upon yourselves. (A voice: "That's right!). If it can be accomplished, it must be done by you Negro people in America and not by others elsewhere. (Vociferous applause.) In the Words of Marcus Garvey "I believe it is more appropriate to close my talk here, this afternoon, with Marcus Garvey's words than with my own. "It, falls to our lot to tear off this shackles that bind Mother Africa. Can you do it? You did it in the Revolutionary War. You did it in the Civil War. You did it at the battles of Marne and Verdun. You did it in Mesopotamia. You can do it marching up the battle heights of Africa. Climb, ye the heights of liberty, and cease not in well-doing until you have planted the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green upon the hillsops of Africa. (Deafening applause and cheering saluted this climax.) CONGRATULATIONS Congratulations and expressions of appreciation were showered upon the gifted speaker by officers and members alike.

This was the occasion of a "Silver Tree" function, and a beautiful program was carried through to the utmost satisfaction of all present. The proceedings commenced at 8 p.m. with the singing of the opening Ode, followed by the fictional preliminaries by the chaplain, during which the Hon. Lady H. Vinton Davis, fourth assistant president 'general arrived and' was escorted to her seat on the rostrum. The bilinaries and uniformed ranks were well represented, and the spacious platform, which accommodated the divisional officers, Black Cross Nurses and choir, was filled to its capacity. The president, Mr. Chas. D. Johnson, in his usual heud, and breezy style next addressed the vast crowd, explaining the object of the meeting, in the course of which he introduced the chairman for the evening, Mr. E. Walters, who very satisfactorily filled the position accorded him. Mr. Walters upon rising was greeted with loud cheers. He gave a very inspiring address which he was punctuated from outbursts of laughing from tentive hearers. The star speech for the evening, was made by the Hon. Lady Davies who rose amidly prolonged cheers. She held the tremendous crowd spellbound with a fluent and inspired address which was listened to with rapt attention, at the close of which she received, long and loud applause. The literary and musical items were of an exceptionally high standard and reflects the greatest credit on Mr. U. Leo Grant, choirmaster, and Miss Robinson, organist, also the members of the choir themselves. The program consisted of air anthem by the choir; solo by Miss Davies; duet by Miss Jacques and Miss Baker; solo by Miss Adamson; song by Miss Rahor; recitation by Miss Spence; anthem by the choir; duet by Mrs. Adamson and Miss Robinson; solo and chorus by Mrs. Jacques and others; duet by Mrs. Ellis and Miss Brooks; recitation by Miss Bennett; anthem by the choir; solo by Miss West and song by Mr. Newaholme. Special mention may be made of the renditions of Mrs. Adamson, Mrs. Jacques, Miss West and Mr. Newaholme, late of the Mirinda Division of Cuba, who responded to an encore. The band also rendered two items which were well received. The proceedings, after a neat speech by Mr. J. J. White terminated at 10:30 p.m. with the singing of the Ethiopian anthem. Much praise is due to the president, Mr. Chas, D. Johnson and his capable assistants, for the team work they have put in through their untiring efforts, and which enables them to maintain the prestige and efficiency of the University of Kansas. The work of the Universal Kerosene Improvement Association. We regret to announce the death of one of the esteemed members of the *East Brooklyn Chapter* in the person of Mrs. Judith Richards, who was ill for some time. She passed away on May 27. The funeral service was held on May 29, at Unita Hall, 659 Herkimer street, where members and friends paid their last tribute to the departed sister. The service was officiated over by Teresa Win. Miller, after which a book was published by the president, made brief remarks. The deceased left a husband and sister to mourn her loss. The East Brooklyn Chapter extends its heartfelt sympathy to those bereaved. On Sunday, June 3, the East Brooklyn Chapter held a successful mass meeting. The spirit of enthusiasm ran high, as the various speakers eloquently outlined the significance of the principle of the U. N. T. A. championed by the great genius of our race in the person of the Hon. Marus Garvey. The meeting was of double importance, first, because it was Garvey Day, and, secondly, because we were instructed by the chief to stage such a meeting during his European tour. We had as our principal speaker His Emilience, Bishop George Alexander McGuire, D.D. M.D. private of the African Orthodox Church. His subject was "What Benefit Will the Hon. Marus Garvey's Mission to Europe Be to Negroes?" He kept the audience spoolbound as he outlined the great good the U. N. T. A. has done and is doing for the Negro peoples of the world. He stated that the Hon. Marus Garvey won the victory when he was sent to prison. We also had with us the Rev. William Miller and Rev. Walsh, who spoke eloquently on the work of the U. N. A.

Members, non-members and friends, also anti-Garveyites paged the hall as early, at 7:30 p.m. Late comers had to stand outside. The evening was the promise of the early cloudy morning—a "calm, cool and pleasant morning." Unfortunately, the attention of the vice-president could not attend, but the first vice-president, R. M. R. Whynn, acted inadvertently, satisfactorily. The ritualistic part of the program was performed by the chaplain, Mr. J. Ewan, who impressed on his hearers the necessity of living a godly life. To begin the program, the chairman gave a welcome address and called for the reading of the front page of the "Negro World's" current issue. The lady president responded to the appreciation of the audience. This was followed by a recitation by Master Debut Thompson, who also won the applause of the audience.

A solitary by Miss May Kennedy broke the monotony and then a duet by Miss Whynn and Miss Wilson. Another stirring address was delivered by Mr E. G. Davis, president of the Vertientes division. In speaking on the "Nobleness of the Association," the speaker showed how the Universal Negro Improvement Association was incompatible with other societies whose welfare is not for the universal Negro. He further impressed it on his hearers that the potency of the cause still survives its persecutions and the Negro who speaks against, the aspirations of the movement, can not be rightly compared with anyone whose moral integrity is that of a rationalist, Mr. Davis is a warm worker for the cause, and the division in wishing other branches of the association success, extends the same to the Vertientes Division and further hega to encourage its president in the fight to which he has so nobly harbored himself. Other pieces on the program were:—Recitation by Miss Marsh McLean, solos by Mottley McLean and Song direct by Negro Hutchinson, and Mr J. Jenkins and address by Master Webster Chambers, and the reading of the president-general's communication to the Negroes of this locality. The executive-secretary read the letter from the president-general and explained what he will be doing for the next few months in the interest of the Negro everywhere. He also expressed his sincere belief in the president-general, after speaking to the different peoples of the world, getting a proper in the sitting of the League of Nations.

En su último mensaje desde Londres a los miembros de esta organización, el Hon. Marcus Garvey hace las siguientes manifestaciones: Me encuentro actualmente en Inglaterra y puedo deciros que el país ha cambiado mucho desde mi última visita en 1914. Anticipé este cambio, desde luego, y amenudo hablé en mis conferencias públicas, así como en mis escritos durante mi estadia en Norte America. Inglaterra ha venido a ser tan prejuicial hacia el hombre negro como lo es Norte America, o quizas mas. Este país ha sido arruinado en este respecto por los blancos norteamericanos de casta baja, sin principio ni educación, que se las hechan de turistas en el viejo continente. Estos irresponsables van sembrando la semilla de su prejuicio por todas partes en esta Europa, dándose el caso que a un negro decente, se le haga dificultoso el encontrar acomodo o alojamiento en cualquiera de los hoteles de primera o segunda clase. A mi llegada aquí me alojé en el hotel Cecil uno de los mejores en Londres, donde permaneci dos días a disgusto de la clase baja de norteamericanos blancos que se hospedaban en dicho establecimiento; pero mi temporada en dicho hotel se hizo posible, simplemente porque se me conociera de antemano. Mientras permaneci en el, decidí dar una vuelta a Londres de incógnito y visitar otros hoteles de primera y segunda clase y estudiar la actitud que hacía el hombre negro asumian estos establecimientos. En un día visité cincuenta hoteles buscando alojamiento para mí y mis acompañantes. Adondequiera que fui, tan pranto me aproximaba a la puerta, se desarrollaba un secreteo entre los nüspedes y los empleados, de manera que, al acercarme al oficinista, generalmente habia la excusa de que todas las habitaciones estaban ocupadas y que la capacidad excedía al número reglamentario que la lev impone. Este es el cambio notable que he observado desde mi ultima visita aquí; porque en el 1914, antes de la guerra, y antes de que los norteamericanos empezaran a invadir a Inglaterra, al hombre de mi raza se le acomodaba y alojaba en cualquiera de los hoteles de primera clase. En uno de estos hoteles que visité había una joven a cargo de la oficina. Esta nos dio una bienvenida miuy cortes y amablemente nos dio el boleto correspondiente a mi alojamiento con mi esposa y otro boleto para mi secretaria. De acuerdo con las costumbres de este país nos habiamos registrado, por consiguiente, todos los arreglos para el alojo se flevaron a cabo, con el entendido de que nuestro equipaje se mandase a buscar al hotel Cecil aquella tarde. Se hizo esto no porque deseasemos alojo, mas si porque teniamos necesidad de poner a prueba su actitud como dejo ya explicado. Inmediatamente que nos retiramos del escritorio de la joven que nos registrara, una vieja norteamericana levantándose apresuradamente de su asiento gritó en el pasillo: "Sirviente, sirviente," y al acercarsele dicho empleado le dijo algo al oido como sugerencia de que el hotel iba a tener como huéspedes a negros. El sirviente se apresuro hacia el escritorio de registro donde se encontraba la joven que nos diera los pases de admisión y los tres, la vieja norteamericana, el sirviente y la ofioinista entraron en un cuarto cercano. Cuando nos disponiamos a abandonar el salón, uno de los empleados nos suplicó esperásemos un momento. Poco despues la joven oficinista de quien habíamos recibido la documentación necesaria, aprobando nuestro alojamiento, vinó hacia nosotros y en tono de cortesia y disculpa, nos manifesó que sentía mucho el no podernos satisfacer, pues los cuartos y asignádonos "habían sido tomados." Este incidente demuestra claramente el prejuicio peculiar que Europa esta asumiendo en contra del hombre negro. Indudablemente los autores de esta predisposición le estan diciendo a los pueblos del viejo continente que los negros se los van a comer, porque son canibales y salvajes. Mi experiencia sobre el particular es oportuna y corrobora mi creencia de que el prejuicio del hombre blanco no es seccional y, por consiguiente, debemos combatirlo como un problema universal. Candidaturas presidenciales Ante la expectativa de la reunión de la primera convención nacional la nación entera prepara, su política activa al fin de la cual se habrá decididoinitivamente la cuestión de las candidaturas presidenciales y vicepresidenciales democratas y republicanas. Entre los republicanos los candidatos más fuertes han sido el secretario de Comarcio Herbert Hoover Spanish Section y el ex-gohernador Lowden de Illinois, el amigo de los agricultores. Entre los democratas el candidato más fuerte es el gobernador Alfred E. Smith de Nueva York, al que posiblemente sigue en cuanto a posibilidades el senador james Reed de Missouri. Ambos candidatos democratas, sin embargo, son antiprobhibicionistas, lo que hace su candidatura no simpática a los elementos prohibicionistas del partido y compica gravemente la política entre los democratas. A large number of foreign visitors are expected for the celebration-Icelandic-Americans will be numerous among them. Many thousands are living in the United States and in Canada and yet they themselves "West-Icelanders." They have already planned a joint visit to their old country on this occasion.

Thomas Fortune Con la muerte de este decano del perlodismo, el telón en la escena de la vida ha caído sobre la carrera utilisima de un hombre, quien comparado con Federico Donglass, quizas algo más que Booker T. Washington y poco menos que Marcus Garvey, la sido un gran factor en la vida e intereses de la raza negra en la presente generación. El Sr. Fortune fue por muchos años agua, filosofo y amigo de aquel gran educador industrial, a quien los blancos concientes reconocían y los negros idolatraban. Felizamente eldestino decibel que el se uniera para colaborar con el único honre que aqui en el exterior superara a la grandeza de Washington y quien continuando la labor de aquel, llevou muy alto la antorche de la veredadera emancipación de la raza negra, llamando especialmente la atención de los multiples parásitos, segun lo advirtiera también-el paladin de Tuskegee algun tiempo ha. T. Thomas Fortune fue nombrado-redutor del Negro World en 1923, cuando Marcus Garvey y la Asociación Universal para el adelanto de la Raza Negra cruzaban su valle de Gesemani, y pronto emprendió su campaña en contra de las pequeñeces y prejuicios de los afroamericanos enemigos del movimiento que trata de confraterrizar aquel elefento con el negro antillano. Mas aun, sus sanos consejos, su fe y lo justo de sus resoluciones, fueron de un valor inestimable para esta organización, mientras el tenor a la pluma en sus manos mitigaba la furia y silenciacla la vociferación de aquellos que adelcanlaba hasta la decapitation de Marcus Garvey. La peridida de T. Thomas Fortune será sentida por millones de negros en todas partes, por haber sido un huchador incansable, un troyano sincero a su encomienda, un carácter firme con una determinación inquisquible. Fue un progresista con muy poca conmiseración para el extremista que usurpara los derechos de Etiopia, amparado por la orden existente; un radical ultrajado por el látigo de un conservatismo discriminante. El era un viejo joven, un negro moderno que amaba la tierra donde vio la luz primera, aunque reconocia en ella mucho que desear, pero más amaba a su Africa. Nunca pato por desapereibida la nueva orientación de su raza. Siempre advirtió a nuestros hombres y mujeres las oportunidades que se presentaran, arenguidoles en la lucha por todo aquello que la Constitución del país les garantizara, con el principal 'propósito' de ser más utiles a la labor por la emancipación de Africa. Indudablemente el builiera descado ver dicho día deOLOR. Desgraciadamente T. Thomas Fortune nos ha abandonado pari siempre y la raza negra ha perdido amo de sus mas grandes hombres. Dos meses y medio ha, cayó enfermo en esta ciudad y fue trasladado al hospital Migericordia en Filadelfia, donde tenia la tierra asistencia de su hijo el doctor Rederico W. Fortune. Segun vivió asi murió—aportando su contribución intelectual en beneficio de los suyos. Desde su cama de enfermo dictaba a su secretaria los editoriales para el Negro World, Los editoriales en nuestro número de la semana pasada fueron sus ultimos consejos. Murió como el buen soldado—armas al hombre, reteniendo hasta el último momento su vigor mental. El nombre de T: Thomas Fortune vivira impercedero. Desempeno conciliamente la encamienda que el destino le designara. Las generaciones venideras han de appreciar el valor de sus sabias predicas.

NEGRO WORLD EXPANSION FUND The Negro World acknowledges with thanks the following subscriptions to its Expansion Fund; Mentaje de despedida - El dictador chino Chang Tso-Liu en su mensaje de despedida dijo. - Esta guerra ha dejado a muchas personas en la calle y el hambre se deja sentir en las masas. Si continuamos peleando, el pueblo sufrira-mucho más. - Este estado de cosas no se esperaba cuando yo comencé la campaña contra los rojos. Mi propósito era salvar el estado. Y aunque ames deseos no han sido coriados por el exito, no debo continuar las operaciones y estoy dispuesto a evacuar la gaudida de Pekin con mis tropas; los asuntos políticos quedan en manos del niño. Contiando que, China no será terminado como resultado de mi gobierno en los asuntos públicos, y esperando que el peligro del bolsivismo no reyiviría, ne declaró inocente y mi conciencia limpia ante el mundo y las futuras generaciones. Instrucción individual La instrucción individual es uno de los métodos pedagógicos modernos más importantes y a la vela, uno de los que está adquiriendo día, por dia mayor número de adeptos. Si bien es cierto que es un hecho reconocido que no hay dos niños iguales, no es menos cierto que hasa nada se habla preocupado de establecer esta diferencia y de estudiar las causas que la originan. Al hazer el estudio de este asunto, la psicología moderna ha demostrado que no se puede obtener gránsito en la educación de los niños a menos que los sistemas que se utilice para ello se adapten a dischas diferencias individuales. Iceland's Parliament to Be 1,000 Years Old in 1930 REXLJAVIK, Iceland. "The 'mother of Parliaments' is generally understood to be the English Parliament, but if age counts the palm goes to the Icelandic Alting, which is to celebrate its tenth celebration in 1930. The Alting, was instituted in the year 1930 on the plain of Thingvalla. The festivities in connection with the jubilee will be held on the old historic spot at Thingvalla. 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-Prident; 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 Gatvey wrote letters from Jainiceau 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. The prestige and the existence of the organization in the South are at stake. Therefore there can be no delay. Presidents of Divisions can collect same at meetings and also see that this matter is properly emphasized, but, members, do not wait to be told by your President.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM To the Editor of the Negro World: The truth is like the sun. It may go down today, but it will rise again tomorrow as sure as such. We repeats the truth of the second century when thousands, years ago when every prospect was fleeting and only man was wise when the haughty Romans captured and slaughtered, white Christian conyers, removed their heads, quartered their bodies and placed the horrifying human fragments on exhibition on bridge and poles of different heights. Colleen Coulter the second person of God. . . Mani tested in the flesh. . . Glorified in the spirit. etc. said, "All power is given unto me, go ye into all the world and teach all people, etc." Jesus having been glorified in the spirit, war, how- ever, "taken up to heaven," dedicated all power unto man on earth according to the command of His Father the Creator, when He said, "have dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air and the beasts of the field, and over every living thing that walketh or creepeth upon the face of the earth" etc. and man has been exercising that power in diverse ways, the water, the song, the bear and arrow, the boulder and stone, vile and disception ever since on this day with his improved field, guns, dreadnaughts, submarines, air- planes, tanks, poison gas, hand grenades, liquid fires, bounces and tar pores. In those days the people knew nothing about the American continent, which proves, that the world, has changed a great deal and on which every prospect is pleasing, save that man is a great deal older. Whether the Africans are the Christian converts, or the Christians are the Roman emigrants or the African emigrants, What we do know is that the voices on an exodus and united African race, inspired by the stilled voices of countless millions of black slaves, who told like benits, brutes, under the whip and lash, lied and under the A. writes Miss Ludie Barentine, popular "Mommy" co-ed (photo shown above), but I over since I started to use Harade Pomade I find it a pleasure to dress my hair.

Tell them, the black soower, ye soweth that shall ye also, reap, according to the law of contribution."

"Prepare ye the way; make the path straight for the children of God even among the Pyramids and the loneons Phoenix. Yes, the proclaimers of those ground and glorious civilizations which flourished on the banks of the great River Nile when white men lived in caves and done, slaughtered and ate each other and roamed the continent of Europe in nude savagery, are coming four hundred million strong, and not even the fiery gates of hell all impede our glorious forlorn independence, Nafshhood in Africa, the land of our fathers, stolen from us through the guiles, sultanty and hypocrisy of Christian gamblers." Who have not read, who have not heard the strange voice of the fearless "Tiger" crying from the cage of Christian injustice?

He is Tan Yen-kai. He has shown great ability in bringing together the leaders of factions, which have been only too ready to quarrel. "It is easy to be seen that this form of committee government is not adapted to quick decisions, and it remains to be seen if it can be made to function efficiently. "During the military operations the committee government has been disposed to remove generals at will, and to demonstrate that it intends, not only to keep a close rein on executive matters, but also to insure the supremacy of the civil authority over the military. It is to be noted that for the first time since 1011 there may be a single government for all of China. Of course, no definite statements can be made at this time, but it is possible that the success of the Nationalists in their Northern drive will inspire the permanent adherence of factions which have heretofore made unification impossible. "The placing of Yen Hhi-shan in charge at Poking augurs well for harmony, for he has never shown a desire to extend his authority, and may present disputes from arising, between Chiang Kai-shek and Pyu Hs-lang. "This is the situation that confronts our government:—There have come into power, for no one can say how long, a Nationalist group which holds nominal, momentary sway over all of old China south of the Great Well. Already it has shown such confidence in its power that it has desolved Minister MacNurray that our troops are no longer needed at Poking and Tientsin. For the time, however, American citizens are safer if the troops are no well-known.
