Fellowmen of the Negro Race, Greeting:
We have just staged our Royal Albert Hall meeting in England as the first move in laying before the people of Europe the case of the black man for international racial adjustment. The meeting was a wonderful success from every point of view, although the metropolitan press, acting under the urge of the yellow press of America, did everything to undermine the success of the meeting in supplying unfavorable publicity so as to misrepresent our great aim to the people. Anticipating them, we were on the job, and we succeeded in bringing together on the 6th inst. one of the most thoughtful groups of white people ever assembled in any hall in
ence Members of Parliament, publicists and men of every walk of life. Forty journalists sat around the newspaper tables, and the news of our determined effort for an adjustment of the Negro question was flashed to every corner of the world. This, indeed, was a triumph for the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Europe, notwithstanding the evil design of the enemy. Already the meeting is bearing fruit because several prominent friends have called upon us promising to do their best in helping to bring about an autonomous state for Negroes in Africa. The success of the task before us is so encouraging that we feel happy.
Believe us, that a real foundation is being laid and the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall thereafter move on steadily to success. We want black men and black women everywhere to cheer up and take new courage because the real programme for our universal redemption is being undertaken.
Says Meeting Was a Great Success in Spite of Misrepresentation of Aims by by the London Press
A REAL FOUNDATION HAS BEEN LAID; EVERY REASON FOR OPTIMISM
Meetings to Be Held Throughout the United Kingdom and Continental Europe-State Documents Being Prepared
The start that we have made is so splendid that most of the difficulties will be moved away. Preparing Documents
We are now preparing certain state documents which shall be released to the different governments of Europe, backed up by public opinion, which we are arousing in England at the present time. Dozens of other meetings will be staged in different sections of England, as also Scotland, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Germany and Belgium. We ask for the unanimous co-operation of all members of the race so that there shall be no dissenting voice in the great urge toward Africa's redemption. We are having the splendid co-operation of all branches of the Negro race domiciled in Europe, so that whatsoever is being done is thoroughly understood by all those most concerned. The foundation we are now laying will help us to present before our international Convention, to be held from August 1 to 31 next year, a programme sufficiently worthy as to invite the co-operation of every black man and woman in the world. We feel that great things are in store for us, notwithstanding the tremendous difficulties that have stood in the way.
Divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and to all members and friends who have done anything to help make our work in Europe a success. It takes a great deal of money to carry through the programme as we have it planned. The Royal Albert Hall meeting alone was staged at a cost of over five thousand dollars, but it was money well spent because it has opened the way in public opinion and in other circles that we could not have gained otherwise.
Help Needed
Help Needed
In going about presenting the case of our race we cannot do it in a way that will not lend prestige or dignity to our race and to the cause so that all those who can help should do so, so as to insure the necessary success.
As I have stated before, all those who desire to communicate with me during my stay in Europe may do so by addressing me at 57 Castletown Road, West Kensington, W.14, London, England.
Let us rally to the great cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let us link our hands and hearts together and make one determined effort to see that success is achieved.
With very best wishes, I have the honor to be
Your obedient servant,
President-General
Universal Negro Improvement Association.

GARVEY AND THE PRESS
ONE OF THE most formidable obstacles, if not the most formidable, Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association have had to face has been the press the powerful "Fourth Estate" which is supposed to mold and reflect public opinion. Ever since 1918, when Garvey organized the Universal Negro Improvement Association in New York City with thirteen members, he has been the target of the ridicule, misrepresentation and abuse of the press in America, both white and black. Garvey was religiously painted as an obstreperous mountebank, who, unable to earn a decent livelihood in his island home, of Jamaica, came to the United States of America to batten upon his Negro brethren here, who, he thought, had longer purses than their brethren in the West Indies. When he spoke of the redemption of Africa, he was "crazy." When he organized the Black Star Line they said he was merely a clever rascal who was seeking to play upon the heart-strings of his group so that he might the more easily untie their purse-strings. When he used the title of "Provisional President of Africa" conferred upon him by the Negroes of the World assembled in convention in 1920, he wrote himself down, the great white press of the world would have us believe, as a dreamy egotist whose pet diversion was to lie in bed at night and conjure up a vis
Garvey, at its head. When he staged, at Convention time, a parade in Harlem, it was merely for the purpose of showing off his plumes. In short, nothing that Marcus Garvey did or thought of doing was motivated by anything else but a desire to fool the "poor colored people" and enrich himself and satisfy a diseased and perverted ego. No spoke the white press, and, like sheep, the greater part of the Negro press of this country followed suit. But between 1918 and 1928 much water has flowed under the bridge, though not enough to obliterate all the slimy nonsense which the vicious, wicked, wise white man has sedulously served up for the consumption of his black victims. And so we find in this year of grace: 1928, even though a significant change has taken place in the ranks of the Negro press of America and they can no longer be prodded by the white master into cheap and wholesale vilification of Marcus Garvey and his movement; even though numerous influential newspapers and magazines in the United States of America have given Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association a just and fair appraisement; even though leaders of thought in this nation and throughout the world, black, white, brown and yellow, have in clear language expressed their admiration of the man and their belief in the feasibility and logic of his programme, yet today we find a section of the white press, led by the big dailies of London and New York, still doing everything in their power to undermine the faith of Negroes in Marcus Garvey, to disrupt his organization and to depict him as the arch-rogue of the century.
It is a very fortunate thing for the Negro race that this man, Marcus Garvey, was made of such timber as could resist the avalanche. It is a very fortunate thing that within the veins of Marcus Garvey flows blood such as must have sustained a Hannibal or a Toussaint L'Overture. The Negro Race gives thanks that, undaunted by the savage attacks of its enemy, Marcus Garvey pressed on and, in his wisdom, sought to disarm the enemy by the simple method of pointing out that advice from an enemy is worthless; that to expect any big New York daily, "doing the bidding of its European masters," to endorse Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was as fantastic as for an Englishman to hope that Ludendorff would have rushed advice from the Russian front to the British and French in Flanders as to how best to stem Hindenberg's
Thanks to Garvey and his successful efforts in removing the cobweb from the eyes of Negroes, it is today difficult for white men to deceive black men by ridiculing and poking fun at their leaders. Marcus Garvey's emergence as an international figure, blasting the myth of white superiority and placing backbones, where there were only wishbones, in Negroes, has done more during the last decade to strengthen and energize and normalize the Negro press than all other factors combined. Today black men truly read between the lines. When the great New York World devotes a two-inch paragraph to the early morning discovery of a Negro hanging by the neck dead in Central Park West and thereafter maintains a holy silence; when the white newspapers of New York and every other city in the United States exaggerate the lapses of Negroes, letting slip no opportunity to play up any degeneracy, stupidity or brutality, while doing everything in their power over or conceal heinousness found in their own, the Negro understands. He reads, smiles and passes on, thanks to Garvey, unaffected by the subtle propaganda. No white newspaper can offer any convincing argument to Negroes

why Africa should not be redeemed for black men; why the voice of Marcus Garvey crying in the wilderness of white hate and prejudice should not be heeded. Marcus Garvey went to London and staged a meeting in the Royal Albert Hall. In the capital of the British Empire he stated the case for oppressed black men, women and children. A certain section of the British press strove with might and main to prevent his appearance. This failing, they resorted to the usual weapon—ridicule. A white reporter in London would have the people of the United States believe that only two hundred persons attended Garvey's meeting. The "life" of his story is that a drunken cockney from a perch in the gallery shouted at Garvey, as he started to speak, "E's barmy, 'e is." And this remark, states the great, powerful New York Herald Tribune, completely killed Garvey's spirit. Says the Tribune: "He struggled on, but the old spirit was missing. He pounded the table and smote the atmosphere, but conviction had fled. His car for the first time seemed to catch in this comment the scepticism of the age—and he was done." In other words, the great white press unblushingly and childishly submits that a man who smiled in the face of a would-be assassin; who dared a white judge, jury and prosecutor to do their worst; whom the sneers and taunts of the "cracker" in a penitentiary in the heart of the "hospitable South" of these United States could not ruffle; who, by almost superhuman courage, rose superior to every obstacle and built up, from a paltry thirteen, a following of millions in a few brief years; who boarded the Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in his den; who at a meeting in New Orleans, La, ordered a heckling Chief of Police to sit down—and was obeyed; who would be at his ease in the presence of any living man, be he Pope or King, Emperor or President—that this man was put out of countenance, his blood chilled, his bulldog spirit crushed by a single sentence from a drunken cockney!
Even if only two hundred persons were present at the Albert Hall meeting, this circumstance in no way dims Garvey's prestige; it lessens not by a tittle the high regard which black men openly, and white men secretly, have for him. London is a community where black men can find employment only at the docks, after white men are placed. Few Negroes, except students, live in London. Garvey had a message, and he was in London to deliver it, and he delivered it; and the press of the British Empire and of the world was represented at that meeting by forty stalwarts. Garvey's speech, as it was delivered, will appear in the next issue of The Negro World, but the George Harrises will not be interested; their receiving station will be able to pick up only the drunken drivel of an illiterate coockney. What this, perhaps mythical, inebriate lisped is as gospel to such as George Harris—the same George Harris who with a couple of the N. A, A. C. P. clan, and five other "intellectuals" signed the infamous letter sent to the notorious Daugherty when Attorney-General of the United States, beseeching him to silence Garvey.
It is not "poor, Garvey," as the Herald Tribune exclaims; it is "poor Mr. white man"; if, by any chance, he fails to read and need the handwriting on the wall.

IS the unshirkable duty of every member, every chapter and division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to obey the orders which emanate from the Parent Body. The members comprise the chapter or division, and the officers of the local are but the servants of the organization elected by the members to administer their local affairs while obeying the letter of the Constitution and carrying out the orders that are issued from headquarters. When a president or secretary of a local fails to fulfil the terms of his contract—to conserve the interests of the membership and carry out the orders of the governing body at New York, which is in touch with and under the direction of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, that president or that secretary has outlived his usefulness. The Association as a whole will only continue to progress in direct ratios to the degree of loyalty and efficiency which those who are placed at the head of affairs in the various communities throughout the world bring to their tasks. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, has no room for time-servers. Mr. and women who see in it, or would make of it, a means to an end, and that end merely the procurement of the wherewithal to live, have no rightful place within its administrative ranks. The laborer is, indeed, worthy of his hire, whether he toils on the docks at Tilbury or in the cause of Negro nationalism, but something more than the day's pay should set the lips and hands and brain of men in motion who are in the service of this freedom movement.
The self-seekers and the blood-suckers have been the barricades around the neck of the glorious organization which Marcus Garvey founded. Many of them, mainly those who attained to high place, have fallen by the wayside, their names forever besmirched, living but dead, paying the price at the hands of conscience which Judas paid. But there are still numerous deceivers in less important roles than these in the organization who ply their nefarious trade unhampered. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. As long as this world revolves on its axis men will be found who are ready and willing to prostitute themselves for money, but it behooves the membership, the millions of Negroes who make up the rank and file of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to be on guard eternally and to see to it that those whom they elect to office are not recrant to their trust. And the modus operandi is simple: Take a deep interest in your local's affairs; read The Negro World from front page to back page every week, and see that the commands of the Parent Body are obeyed.
Marcus Garvey is at the helm. No prison walls confine him. He is playing well his part, and he is expecting each and every member to play his. This is your organization; the Red, Black and Green, your flag. Rally around it. Africa must be redeemed; Africa will be redeemed; black men were not predestined to be drawers of water. But black men, Africans at home and Africans abroad, will not rise to the zenith of their inherent power until they learn to be absolutely self-reliant, alert and vigilant. Eternal vigilance is dentanded. Beware of the smooth hypocrite. Support the Parent Body. This is what Marcus Garvey would have you do.

The reservations concern South Africa's right of self-defense, and state that a violation of any of its provisions relieves all signatories from obligation. A provision also is contained in the answer: "The would permit South Africa to fulfill its obligations under the League of Nations."
Protest against the manner in which twenty or more Negro commissioners of the Presbyterian Church were said to have been treated last month while attending the General Assembly in Turin, Ohio, was voiced yesterday, by Henry H. Layburn, elder of Christ Church, who, as one of eighteen delegates sent from New York, reported on the assembly at a meeting of the Presbytery of New York.
Mr. Layburn, attacking the "Jim Crow" laws, of Oklahoma, revealed that the General Assembly had been forced to give up plans for holding its annual good-will dinner because, he said, a hotel had refused to entertain the Negro delegates.
Mr. Layburn, who made his charges before members of the Presbytery meeting in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, also said that the Negro commissioners had been forced to take up their quarters in the Negro section of Tulsa during the assembly convention, which lasted from May 24 to May 29.
"These men," he said, "were compelled to live in the Negro section of the town called. Niggertown." Such behavior on the part of our Southern hosts is a disgrace to this country."
William L. Ines, Negro pastor of St. James Presbyterian Church, was the only other reporting commissioner to comment on race discrimination. He said that the segregation of Negroes in separate living quarters had been embarrassing. After John L. Goodell, an elder, had delivered his report Mr. Layburn was called upon to speak. "It's the usual custom," he said, "for the General Assembly to have its annual dinner on a Saturday night, but this year we had no dinner because of the Jim Crow laws."
Following the meeting of the Presbytery Mr. Layburn explained that during the first sessions of the General Assembly the Negro commissioners were made to sit in a separate section of the church. The elder said the majority of commissioners resented this, though they took no action.
"During the remaining days," he said, "when the sessions were held in sections, the Negroes and whites met together in violation of the laws of Tulsa."
New Range Uses Heat Ordinarily Wasted
A gas range which utilizes heat ordinarily wasted, and which cooks without attention many foods otherwise requiring constant watching, is now available in a number of sizes and types for the home.
Cooking on the new range is done largely by a retained heat, this feature being given by a heavily insulated oven and by an insulated dome arrangement which lowers into place over pans cooking on top of the stove. This dome accumulates the heat from a few minutes of cooking with the gas burner turned on, and further cooking is done with the domeslowered and the gas shut off. Soups, cereals, vegetables and other foods are declared to be more savory because they are more slowly cooked. There is also no danger of scorching or burning.
The operation of the range eliminates the usual need of basting and tasting meats, keeping water on vegetables and attiring cereals to keep them from scorching. The ranges are finished in porcelain enamel.
Interesting History
WASHINGTON, June 16.—There is ever unfolding to our view facts which link the Negra to important events in early American history. The one hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was celebrated in this city on June 2, when publicity, was given to the fact that the daughter of the 18-year-old colored giel who piloted the boat on which President John Quincy Adams rode to the ceremonies which marked the beginning of the canal route, a century ago, now lives in a suburb of the nation's capital. Her name is Mary Moton, 78 years old, and she is the mother of a large family. Her mother met and was coureted by her father, Thomas Harris, while she rode on her father's canal boat, and many times has the story of the famous Presidential life and the turning of the soil with a golden spade been told to members of her family. The canal boat which Mary Moton's grandfather commanded was used on the old canal built by George Washington on the Virginia side. C. P. B.
HOMELY PHILOSOPHY
"Beware of yourself," said an old Hilddu sage, "for if you take care of your own emotions nobody from outside can hurt you." In following ourselves we find that we ourselves have been our own worst enemies. Blinded by cosmic, we rush into tangles and masses that no still one altogether undo. In looking about us to discover the causes of mistrust and failure, let us first look critically toward. We are generally more willing to place the blame upon another, but let us be frank with ourselves at least and bearer of ourselves. Georgia Douglas Johnson.
When Spain was at the height of her glory as a world power she had stamped on her coins the pillar of Hercules, and took for her motto "Ne Plus Ultra"—no more beyond. But the discovery of America by Columbus gave Spain a new vision and she speedily eliminated the "Ne." leaving "Plus Ultra"—more beyond.
From time immemorial men and races have added to the sum of knowledge and intelligence by reaching out beyond the confines of their immediate communities. Human needs have given birth to an army of adventurers, explorers and pioneers whose intrepidity forms the core of present day civilization. There were times in days gone by when men thought that they had reached the borderland of truth, but the rapid development of science, missionary activities, and the expansion of world trade and commerce coupled with the new taste for travel and adventure unfolded the vast resources of God and nature, dwarfing our imagination and giving us more light and understanding. "Plus Ultra" has been the urge of nations dependent upon the economic strength of other lands for their existence. It gave Britain "the empire on which the sun never sets," and made France the second god of imperialism. It sent Japan into Manchuria, inspired the Monroe Doctrine and gave the United States her territorial possessions. It is realization that there is more beyond which makes white men and yellow men roam the seas and explore distant lands in search of wealth and power. It is this that causes their business men to invest billions of dollars in foreign bonds and securities. "Plus Ultra" Invited Sir Thomas Lipton to turn his back on the rich shipping, cotton and coal markets of his native land to find "acres of diamonds" In the tea leaves of Ceylon. It sent the oil barons into Roumania, Russia, Mesopotamia and Mexico. It directed Cecil Rhodes to South Africa. It brought millions to the diamond kings in Amsterdam, Brussels and London from Kimberley and the Rand. It sent a handful of adventures white men down to the West Indies and Central America, who gave to the United States two of its largest commercial institutions—the United Fruit Company of Boston and the William-Wrigley Co. of Chicago.
We of the Negro race should nail this motto in our schools and newspapers, our churches and homes, our lodge halls and places of business, for beyond the limits of our community, our little world—out there in distant lands, the peace, the prosperity, the success we are denied here await our reaping. Others are gathering the harvest and so should we. Africa needs every ounce of our energy, every pound of our intelligence and manhood. Let our vision penetrate beyond our lawn with its beautiful flowers, beyond our farms and backyards with their array of poultry and vegetables, for these can be multiplied an hundred fold in other fertile spaces of the universe. We are slaves to the short-sightedness of our predecessors who taught us to "let well enough alone." We are prone to settle down on the altitum, "No Plus Ultra." And we are choking economically because we are not, like white and yellow men, conscious that there is more beyond. One of the safest mottoes for any race or individual is this which Spain coined when Columbus returned from his conquest across the Atlantic. No matter to what degree of perfection a nation, a race, an individual or an institution may develop, there is more beyond.
At War With Oppression
Not only here in the United St Central America, the Negro press and liberty to black men; more are tolerance and a larger democracy press and pulpit are the only two can properly be presented to a conote that the ignorance and self clogged them are fast disappearing to all, taking on more courage and These are our foremost defenders from time, to time those who are and abroad.
Not only here in the United States, but in Africa and the West Indies and Central America, the Negro press is at war with those who would deny justice and liberty to black men; more and more it is speaking out fearlessly for more tolerance and a larger democracy on behalf of its oppressed clientele. Our press and putpit are the only two forums from which the case of the Negro can properly be presented to a cold and heartless world, and it is inspiring to note that the ignorance and selfishness, the fear and uncertainty which once clogged them are fast disappearing, making room for intelligence and service to all, taking on more courage and resting their morits on a higher idealism. These are our foremost defenders, and it is our duty to reveal to our people from time to time those who are struggling valiantly in their behalf at home and abroad.
A Valiant Defender
During the last ten years there has forged to the front, by dint of hard toil and perseverance, another defender of Negro freedom in the Caribbean. He is Mr. Hubert Hill Cain, founder, editor and proprietor of "The Bellize Independent," Bellize, British Honduras, Central America. He is the elder of one of the most distinguished Negro families in that section of the world. It was while struggling for an education in a mission school that young Cain Visioned a free and Independent organ to champion the rights of his people, who were being sifted under the atrocious weight of Crown Colony rule. Working quietly like all men who had a mission to fulfill, Mr. Cain practiced self-denial and made many sacrifices in preparation for the great tush ahead. He got his golden opportunity when he entered the service of "The Carlion," the oldest newspaper in the colony, then edited by the late P. Stanley Woods, Esq. After several years of training in the important branches of this plant, and mastering the higher technique of journalism, Mr. Cain, with limited resources, launched "The Bellize Independent" in 1914. His firm stand for truth and justice, coupled with his fearlessness in exposing political chechery and governmental extravagance, soon stamped him as no moral adversary of the costly policies of Government House. Soon after the paper made its bow to a dubious public efforts were made to stop its publication, and even the very people whose ignorance and poverty inspired its birth were apathetic. But, encouraged and supported by a few faithful citizens, Mr. Cain hardened the barriers and continued his work with greater vigor and inspiration. Today the "Bellize Independent" ranks as one of the best advertising mediums and defenders of Negro liberty in Central America. Quite recently His Excellency the Governor, in his annual message to the legislature, made a velled threat to muzzle the paper. The following, taken from an editorial reply under the caption—"Governor Threatens to Muzzle Press," will give his colleagues in this country a better picture of the character and manhood of the founder and editor of the Independent:
"We have taken upon ourselves, as our name implies, the duty of an independent newspaper, and we would wield our cudgels solely in the interest of the taxpayers, consumers, and others of the people of British Honduras." In general.
"Among others; one of our fraudulent ambitions is to secure better government for the colony, and the most peaceable, constitutional and rational way to achieve this end, is to bring into the lightlight the shortcomings, defects, misdeeds and incompetency of the persons and departments which form our Government, from His Excellency downwards.
"And where is the disloyalty of which His Excellency speaks? There is no disloyalty in this Colony. There is no disloyalty in our paper. We must, we have a superintendent or royalty right to the Empire and to the Colony. It is true that the Governor is the King's representative. The King is the symbolic head of the Empire, but it must be remembered that the Parliament of Great Britain is elected by the people, from which elected members most of the Ministers are chosen, and among such Ministers is the Secretary of State for the Colonies. The Secretary of State is responsible for the appointment of our Governor who is and can be no other than a trustee for or the servant of the people of this Colony over which he is made Governor and Commander-in-Chief.
"Under these circumstances, where is the disloyalty is criticising our trusts and servant for failing to carry out the duties of his trust and the orders of his masters—the people?"
Governor Burdon is adjudicated to himself the role of Clerk or Dictator in this Colony, and the sooner he realizes that he is merely a public officer, all of whose actions must bear the light of day and bear the brunt of public criticism, the better it will be for himself and everybody concerned.

NUESTRO PROGRESO ECONÓMICO COMO UN
GRAN FACTOR
Tiempo es ya de que nuestro pueblo, como los demas pueblos progresistas, se constituya en un poder industrial; sin industria y sin comercio nuestra raza demostrará muy poco progreso en el materialismo de la edad contemporanea.
Para que la raza sea respetada y verdaderamente progresista tiene que cimentarse sobre algún punto industrial o comercial. Tal cimentación nos es imprecindiblemente necesaria; es inportuno e inseguro el construir una fundación comercial e industrial en tierra extraña, rodeada de hostilidades dimanas del prejuicio de parte de una raza fuerte y superior en número.
Dicha fundación debe ser colocada solidamente en terreno propio y por ello significamos a los cuatrocientos millones de la raza, el desarrollo industrial y comercial de la madre patria en donde debemos naturalmente laborar nuestros propios destinos.
El elemento energico, económico e industrioso de nuestra raza en el hemisferio occidental, debe hacer su resolución de colonización en Africa porque ella es la tierra de nuestro porvenir, con la mayor parte de su riqueza mineral y agricola virgen aún. Sus ganatiales de petroleo, sus minas de oro, de plata y de cobre y sus grandes montanas de carbón y de diamante, estan aún por ser explotados para beneficio general del país y de la raza.
Porqué no leer tan siquiera una página en la historia de los grandes financieros americanos? Estos hombres de la raza blanca, edificadores de la gran nación americana, hicieron uso de su cerebro, de sus energías y de sus abilities para promover las industrias de America, facilitando ocupación a millones de su propio pueblo; de igual manera nuestro capitanes de industria pueden explotar las riquezas del continente africano, con el propósito de facilitar empleo a centenares de millones de nuestro pueblo, convirtiendo el país en una comunidad industrial y comercial poderosa.
Queremos hombres y mujeres con el deseo de cooperar, desde un punto de vista patriótico, a la reorganización y al adelante de nuestro pueblo; hombres y mujeres que no teman al trabajo en pro de su propia estabilidad y la de sus hogares. Nuestra organización cree firmemente que este será el único medio de salvación para la raza, porque rodeados como estantos con el malestar de una civilización que no es nuestra, hemos de caer con el tiempo y perecer arrollados por la marea de un océano de intrigas.
Nuestro elemento esta maleado y casi ha perdido su propia conciencia, con la influencia que sobre el ha ejercido la civilización en esta parte del universo; le vemos sin un propósito determinado y lo que es mas aun sin el requisito ordinario del respeto propio. Cómo es posible adelantar en este estado de cosas?
Tenemos primeramente que aprender a ser honestos y respetuosos para con los nuestros y estas lecidones serán las mas dificiles de asimilar dado a la poca-opportunidad que le facilitan la circunstancias, para convertirse en un verdadero hombre. Solamente podemos elevarnos girando en nuestro propio medio ambiente; solamente podemos adquirir el respeto que nuestra raza requiere, cuando por obligación tengamos que obedecer nuestra propias ordenanzas.
Hacia la juventud y hacia la inteligencia de nuestra nueva generación la Asociación Universal para el Adolanto de la Raza Negra dirige sus miras, advirtiendole el no seguir el sendero recorrido por nuestros antepasados, quienes tal vez ignorantemente lo rendian todo a cambio de los desperdicios de la mesa de la simpatia.
Hora es ya, juventud de la raza, de revestirnos de
caracter y sobre todo de virilidad, dos grandes factores en
talés circunstancias. Ha sido la acción conciente del
hombre blanco la que le ha proporcionado el medio
ambiente que le rodea; ha sido también la acción conciente
del japonés la que le impulsa hacia el frente en el concierto
de las razas y de las naciones; y será también la misma
actitud la que nos hará hombres de respeto y de porvenir.

Los nuevos candidatos
La nominación del candidato republicano a la presidencia de la República, llevada a cabo en el Convention Hall de la cuidad de Kansas recayó sobre H. Hoover, actual secretario de Commercio.
El señador Carissa de Kansas fue nominado para la candidatura viperesidential por la Convención Nacional del partido republicano.
Joseph Scott de los Angeles, predijo en su discurso que los candidatos republicanos Hoover y Curtis dejania al Tigre de Tammany dor mido como un conejillo de Indias. Pocos minutos despues de haber sido nominado candidato a la vicepresidentia el senador Charles Curtis, de Kansas, llegó al Convention Hall, siendo recibido con una ovación entusiasta y ruidosisima. Curtis antes de entrar en el salón tuvo que someterse al rigor del celo policiaco, pues los guardias no le dejanan entrar, alegando que no llevaba su pase. Una vez identificado entró por una puerta lateral, siendo acompañado por un grupo de delegados hasta la plataforma, donde el presidente de la Conventión Moses, lo presentó como el futuro vicepresidente de los Estados Unidos.
La lealtad de Puerto Rico
Pocas veces ha hablado un hombre público con la tremante sinceridad que vibra en las declaraciones del licenciado Barceló, que publicamos en nuestra última edición. Feliz de expresión como siempre, el presidente del Senado puertorriqueño, vale decir, el presidente del país, abandón hablando con el representante de La Prensa todo convencionalismo.
Una sugeridora perspectiva aparece a la luz de las palabras del jefe de la Alianza de Puerto Rico. Frente a la pintura oficial de Washington, que presenta a la bella y poco dichosa Borinquen en el extremo de la prosperidad económica y en pleno del la prosperidad económica y en pleno una vision dolorosa y deprimente. "La única culpa nuestra, tal vez el exceso de lealtad a Washington", viene a decir el senator Barcelo. "Nada tenemos que esperar de alli", arregla.
Puerto Rico, en verdad, no podrá jamás ser acusado de desalegad a los Estados Unidos. El proceso de su desarrollo, desde 1898, es un largo, y a veces doloroso, sacrificio de los más caros iguales, de las más generosas ilusions de un pueblo libre. Porque, y este es le fondo del problema, Puerto Rico es un pueblo de definidas características nacionales, de alma y sangre absolutamente propias, que insiste en elaborar su destino dentro de sus peculiaridades raciales y su idiosinceras espiritual. Nunca, sin embargo, ello ha entrendido al país con las realidades políticas que le impone su situación geográfica. Nunca, ni en los instantes de mayor exultación popular, sus "leaders" han abandonado una línea de conducta absolutamente intacha-

Solar Activity Related To Radio, Solar Scientist
WARNINGTON...There is a definite connection between solar activity and radio transmission when observations are averaged over long periods, in the conclusion of Dr. L. W. Austin of the Bureau of Standards.
Dr. Austin has just submitted a report to the committee on solar and terrestrial relationship of the International Research Council in Brussels for its approval. It gives a summary of the conclusions which may be drawn from the work of E. Expenchick, Anderson and Dalley and C. N. Anderson, of the University of California, Berkeley, the Wireless Company, of G. W. Hokkard, of the Wireless Specialty Apparatus Company, and of Dr. Austin on the relationship of radio transmission to solar activity.
Year by year and probably month by month the daylight signals in the medium and long wave ranges rise and fall, with the sunspot numbers in the changes of the sunspot cycle, while the night signals appear to change in the inverse sense, the report reveals. There is evidence of changes in reception in the period of the sun's rotation—twenty-seven days. It also appears that daylight static is less in years when sunspots are numerous and greater when sunspots are few.
Nanking to Be Capital
Of China, Leaders Decide
SHANGHAI, June 16.—The problem of choosing a capital for China has been absorbing the attention of Nationalist government leaders since their troops occupied Peking which is not preferred as the Nationalist capital because of Northern imperialist associations. According to present plums, Peking will be the capital of Peking with Tsinghua, will be ruled by a Nationalist political councilacknowledging Nanking's authority. All Nationalist government ministries and departments are centred in Nanking. As a formal step to inaugurate the new capital, Chang-Kile-shek, despite his recent resignation, has been selected to proceed to Peking to remove the remains of Dr. Sun Yatson, father of the republic, who died in 1925 and was buried in a temporary tomb on one of the western hills of Peking at Punxia Mountain in Nanking, the scene of the bloodshed and most decisive revolutionary battles in 1911. It is adjacent to the ruined graves of the Ming emperors.
Poking is reported to be perturbed over the Nationalist decision to transfer the capital to Nanking, which, although steeped in tradition, is a backward and undeveloped city. Removal of the capital will also entail the transfer of legations from Poking, where the ministers lived in walled-off quarters, but this will not be contemplated until the powers are convinced of the stability of the Nationalist government.
A possible solution favored in some quarters is the creation of a new Federal capital similar to Washington, and the creation of a new city adjoining Nanking, which is in the centre of China and resemble from the sea.

Lancashire Island of
150 Natives Becomes
Regular Port of Call
CAPE TOWN—Tristan de' Cpnha,
once the smallest island in the world,
becoming a regular port of call for
huge lines carrying treasure around
Africa. The Empress of France, which
has arrived in Table Bay, brought the
latest news from the island. We know
the messenger who landed with several of the line's officers, declared the islanders were badly
in need of relief when the Empress of
France arrived. Fortunately the
weather was good and twenty tons of
food and clothing were sent on shore.
150 People on island
The Rev. R. A. Pooley, who went to Tristan eleven months ago with a lay assistant, had met "no one from the island" before he gave Dr. Edgar a favorable report about the life of the little community of 150 people. There had been only one death-since the last ship called—a little girl had fallen down the mountain and been killed. The people have enjoyed the superb health made possible by the germ-free atmosphere of the South Atlantic.
The islanders approached Dr. Edgar with bullock horns, shells and penguin feathers, which they wished to barter for food and cloak. The men and the children were many. Many of the islanders rowed out to the liner in their canvas boats and tasted ice cream for the first time.
Dr. Edgar was impressed by the physique of the islanders, especially their very fine teeth. He thought, however, that their mentality had surfeed through their isolation. There was no insanity, but their outlook on the old world, extremely limited. Only a few of the elderly had ever been away from the island. Dr. Pooley, in a letter recently received, said:
"Tee islanders, welcomed me as a leader outside their own circle. There is no need to abandon Tristan da Cunha; for a profitable trade in whales, fish and seabird's eggs be built up. If Britain gives up the island, some other nation would quickly relize it. Norway would be glad to establish a whaling station here." **Homes** "Lazy people do not exist here. The men could work as well as any other men in th' world. If they had up-to-date tools, they very soon built our house with the wood we brought from South Africa." **The next job is the erection of a school. We need wood, tar and zine for roofing. We are the poorest folk in the world, and cannot help begging."
"I married three couples recently, using a gramophone in the piano, as the organ had broken down. The islanders take short steps, then suddenly turn round. The forcet will reach us in fifty years' time."
Dr. Pooley considers that some of the islanders should be removed to South Africa, as a state of over-population.

lation is rapidly being reached. Like other missionaries on the island, the pleads for an annual visit from a British man-o'-war.
Stone landed, at Tristan included 1,800 pounds of flour, 1,100 pounds of sugar, 400 pounds of tea, 600 pounds of soap, 500 pounds of rolled oats, 150 pounds of tobacco, several gramophones and records, and several harmonica. The American tourists made generous contributions.

This expedition of a group of scientists now en route to South Africa is interesting. They plan to penetrate British Bechuanaland in search of the Missing Link. This part of the world is known as the bushmen's country, the most primitive place in the world today. Human beings dwell there in the lowest state of metal and physical development. It is supposed to be the place of science. Science is still seeking the Missing Link, and Darwin was timid when he advanced his theory of evolution. This theory is still awaiting direct proof, and so this expedition of scientists seeks it in Africa.
After all is said and done, Africans, native or foreign, should be proud of this undertaking, because Africa will then become the mother of civilization in the eyes of the world. Tob often theories have been advanced as fact. The African people have elected to seek the Missing Link in Africa may be successful.

N. A. A. C. P. Now Offers Freedom for $500
To the Editor of The Negro World:
Has the organization referred to by some persons as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People suddenly transposed itself into merely a "commercialized" life in the South, and proposing this query are exceedingly well founded. Recently our community was visited by a representative of their national office, in the person of Dr. Robert W. Bagnall, known as the Director of Branches, and after a rather lengthy address, our urgent appeal was made for the purchasing of what was offered at the modest price of five hundred dollars (1500.00) per person.
These memberships were guaranteed to secure us "FREEDOM." Freedom from mob violence; freedom from legal "injustice"; freedom from residential segregation; freedom from social discrimination; freedom from economic exploitation; and freedom from educational disadvantages. Certainly, a most attractive proposal. But why, may we ask, should the Negro peoples be requested to close their respective schools? Their brave, attitudinal amendments carried to assure them of this protection? According to our historical records we have been the largest contributors, already, to this "fund."
For more than 200 years we labored and died, under the institution of slavery, without compensation; during the Revolutionary War we sacrificed our life's blood that this nation and its people might enjoy independence; throughout the bloody Civil War we fought, bled and died that the nation might not perish; Spanish-American War Veterans will testify to the valor exhibited by our boys at San Juan Hill. Mexico has tested the courage of the black, regiment: of Negro troops; the late and acclaimed World War in Africa; the African-American officers; the volumes of Liberty Bonds purchased and sold to Negroes of every community; in addition to the Red Cross, disaster, and many other appeals for freedom,erty, justice and all rights ameliorating thereto.
We repeat—why this unexpected "surcharge"? It is the primary duty of every government to protect its citizens, for this purpose taxes are loved and collected. If the National Association or any other association supposed to be responsible for the welfare of people, has realized the inadequacy of the government to function in our behalf, then it is the government which should be held responsible and blamed—not the people who have done and are yet doing all in their power to comply with governmental requirements. Furthermore, if the Negro peoples must have a separate fund to fight for their interests, merely because "they are of Ethiopian parentage, such a person is not a Negro, are a SEPARATE people, and not included with the hour-poise of American CITIZENS.
**Fellow-members and fellow-sufferers of the Negro race, we are simply drifting, drifting, drifting.** Let us face the gordid face and rebellies, we have one and only one redress or course to pursue. We are the most ment operated, and controlled by the Negro people of the world will put an end to 'theo infumerable injustice and persecutions. Look at little aggressive dog—do they moll, lynch, insult and brutalize her citizen? NO! And why? Simply because she has established for herself and her people a representative government capable of restoring the rights of men with the red blood and manhood of the Negro seo-

Shakespeare, the noted English writer, in one of his dramas, included this phrase: "First to thine ownself be true, and it follows as the night the day, you cannot then be faire-to any man." The Universal Negro Improvement Association in its fight for nationhood for Negro peoples offers you such an opportunity, and they do not require you to pay $500.00 for the privilege. And if they should, our motherland, Africa, offers us infinitely more for $500.00 than America has ever offered us for five million! HOME, SELF HESPECT.

U. S.—VS.—NICARAGUA WAR OF "SUPERVISION"
1,000 More Marines Being Sent to Nicaragua to "Supervise Elections" More Thoroughly and "Keep Order"
WASHINGTON, June 14. An announcement was made at Marine Corps headquarters today that 958 marines and twenty-eight officers would be sent to Nicaragua to augment the nearly 4,000 now there. The reinforcements are being sent at the request of Brig. Gen. Frank R. McCoy, Supervisor of the Nicaraguan election, for additional men to assist in keeping order and for replacement.
All of the reinforcements will be drawn from detachments ahead. Those from to Pittsburgh, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Idaho have already left from Puget Sound. A detachment from the Texas was put ashore at Corinto yesterday. Others will be taken out of San Pedro by a ship of the battle fleet about July 5.
Apart from the necessity for replacements, due to the need of sending marines out of the tropical climate, the reinforcements were said to be required if General McCoy is to organize effectively the election machinery.
One of the first steps, it was said, would be to bring in from the northern front hundreds of marines who have been chasing bandits, and teased them Spanish in service schools at population centers, so that they may familiarize themselves with the manners and customs of the natives.
In the opinion of General McCoy this is indispensable for men who are to be used in supervising the elections.
His request was for 600 additional marines, but the number was increased in view of the replacements necessary for men who will soon have to be sent back to the United States. The revenue heavily taxed by demands from China as well as Nicaragua and Haiti, it was felt that the situation might as well be handled as one problem at this time.
The decision was made to draw upon the units' infant because the forces at home are reduced to a skeleton basis. Ordered for the movement were issued only after the question had been canvassed at the State and Navy Departments and then discussed with President Coolidge, who gave it his approval.
ST. CATTAHINES, Ont. June 12—Confined to his bed for two years, apparently paralyzed and blind since July, 1922, Elishall Lickers, an Indian of this city, six weeks ago returned from the white man's medicine to the herbs of his fathers. Today, apparently a healthy man and with his sight restored, he has a job digging ditches. Lickers was taken ill in November, 1928, while in Stone Mountain Penitentiary, near Winnipeg. The attack, he believes, was the result of lifting a heavy iron bar to show his strength. His condition gradually grew worse and last March he was paroled to his brother. Prison authorities informed him that the bar had covered there was no hope for the invuln. A local physician was unable to help him. A buttermilk treatment was then tried and failed to produce any tangible results.
Six weeks ago a fellow Indian by the name of Silversmith prescribed an herb medlure. Within three days Lickers began to show improvement. Yesterday he appeared at local employment agency seeking work. The district office was offered and accepted.
Will Contain Name and Description of Bearer, Together with Portrait—Consuls Will Issue Them
WASHINGTON, June 16—What is regarded as an important forward step in American immigration matters will be made July 1, when a new policy of furnishing all immigrants, except those who come solely for the subject of study, with identification cards to be issued by American consuls at ports of departure, will go into effect.
The order's putting into effect as prepared by George J. Harris, Acting Commissioner of Immigration, has been approved by W. W. Husband, the Acting Secretary of Labor.
The identification cards will contain the name and description of the immigrant and will bear his photograph firmly, attached, thus forming a convenient and immediate means of identifying himself. Similar cards have been issued here only to Chinese. The extension of the system to immigrants in general is expected not only to protect the immigrant after his arrival, but to facilitate the work of the Immigration Bureau.
"The immigrant identification card fills a long felt want," said Mr. Harris in a statement explaining the order. "About fifteen years ago the immigrant department submitted a certificate for the use of the Chinese admitted, particularly those of the so-called immigrant class. The trafficking in these certificates and other abuses which had been predicted in some quarters failed to materialize. In fact, the system proved a thorough success.
"Later on immigration identification cards were adopted for the use of aliens residing in cities and towns on other side of our international borders and contiguous thereto, with a view to facilitating the crossing and to and for such persons in pursuit of pleasure and legitimate business. This plan likewise proved a success. The next step in the development of this system of identification was the promulgation on April 18, 1927, of an order providing for an appropriate endorsement of the passport of aliens admitted to this country as non-immigrants.
"Under the plan now adopted, if the immigrant is admitted, the card will be completed by the signature of the admitting officer and handed to the alien, who will be advised to present it whenever called upon so to do by an immigration officer. It will prove exceedingly valuable to the alien who later resides in the United States, to simplify the work of immigration officer, charged with the duty of investigating and apprehending aliens unlawfully in the United States liable to deportation."

U.S. Japanese Citizenship
in the Hawaiian Islanda
HONOLULU, May 22—Dual American-Japanese citizenship, once so actively sought by American citizens of Japanese ancestry, born in Hawaii, is losing its popularity.
Statistics obtained from the Japanese Consulate show a steady decrease in the registration of births among the member of the Japanese colony, such as with a dual allegiance to both nations.
Under the territorial laws the birth of a Japanese child must be registered with the Board of Health. The parents of the child then have the privilege of recording the birth with the Japanese Consulate, should they so desire.
This option exercised, the child comes into its dual relationship. Upon application, however, to the Japanese Government, the child may later obtain expatriation and subsequent exemption from service to the Emperor.
Consulate figures for 1997 reveal the fact that the Japanese births registered with the Board of Health exceeded those registered with the Consul by 2,995.
Expatriation was granted Japanese subjects last year in .326 dual citizen cases. Of this number fifty-one were women.
"The Real Difference" / Between East and West
SHANGHAL—The Orient's claims to spiritual superiority over the "materialistic" West were assailed by Dr. Hu Shih, leader of the Modern Chinese literary renaissance, in a lecture before an international audience here.
"We must realize that a Henry Ford, a Watt, a Fulton, a Curtwright, whose inventions have benefited millions of persons, is far more spiritual than the mendicant priest in the East who sells salvation for a consideration," asserted Dr. Hu. A graduate of Cornell University of the class of 1914, Dr. Hu lectured in America and England last year.
"The civilization of a race is simply the sum total of its achievement in adjusting itself to its environment," the lecturer said. Man is a following animal, and his progress is married by the invention of tools for conquering his surroundings. In this the Orient, and especially China—which once led in invention—has lagged behind.
"Her lies the real explanation of the difference between Eastern- and Western civilization," he said.

Collector at Nicaragua Nominated by Bankers
WASHINGTON, June 16. The post of Collector General of Customs for the Republic of Nicaragua has gone to Irving A. Lindberg, the State Department announced today.
Mr. Lindberg, who has been Deputy Collector of Customs at Managua since 1913, fills the vacancy made by the resignation of Clifford D. Ham, who served as collector for sixteen years.
Mr. Lindberg was nominated for this new position by the New York bankers, who carried out the original financing under which the collectorship of customs was set up. This plan will be followed by the existing financial arrangement between the Government of Nicaragua and the bankers, the State Department's announcement said.
The financial plan will be effective so long as any of the republics present bonded indebtedness exists. This indebtedness comprises a refunded debt to British bondholders made originally in 1890, and an internal bond issue made in 1918. All bond issues which have been floated in the United States have been retired, the last American bond issued, having been paid off in April, 1928. In view of a vacancy in the position of resident member of the Nicaraguan High Commission caused by the resignation of Roscoe R. Hill, Secretary of State Kellogh has appointed Dr. Lindberg to also fill this position.
Gold Trodden Under Foot
For Centuries in Alziers
ALGHERS, Morocco—Gold and silver "dust" that has been accumulating for centuries is to be taken from Moroccan jewelers "souks" and sold. The "souks" are the market places. Jewelers, like other tradesmen, work there in the open or in equal little shops, son succeeding father in the business, always on the same spot.
The "sweepings," so valuable in American and European jewelry workrooms, never have, been gathered and smelted here. The first effort to do this will be tried by a now-formed French company, whose experts believe there are fortunes in gold and silver filings trodden into the dirt floors of the native shops.
