Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Citizens of the British Empire: I am here this evening as the President- Genera. of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, an organization of 11,000,000 Negroes in Africa, the United States of America, South America, Central America, Canada and the West Indies, to present to you the claim of our race upon your civilization. Institution of Slavery For more than 500 years you assumed a leadership over us, much against our will, the result of which took us into slavery, and we labored as such slaves for 250 years in the country now known as the United States of America, and for 230 years in the countries known as the West Indies—British, Spanish and French. I can well remember when you, the English, entered upon the slave traffic. John Hawkins, whom you afterward elevated to knighthood, in seeking a charter to empower him to take slaves from Africa, from Elizabeth, then Queen of England, said that he wanted this charter to empower him and others to take the slaves from Africa for the purpose of civilizing and Christianizing them. Under a pretense of Christianizing and civilizing them, the Queen signed the charter. That traffic removed millions of black men, women and children from the West Coast of Africa to your Dominions and Colonies in the West Indies and in America. As I have said, for 250 years we struggled in America under the burden and the rigors of slavery. We were brutalized; we were maimed; we were killed; we were ravaged in every way. Then in America a man sprang up by the name of Abraham Lincoln, and in 1865 he liberated the American Negro slaves. A woman by the name of Victoria the Good, the Queen of England, in 1838 emancipated the West Indian Negroes. Tonight we have on the platform here native sons of Africa, descendants of the slaves in the Western World, Negroes of America and Negroes from the West-Indies. We have come to tell you how we feel about it and Masterly Presentation of the Negro's Demands for Justice and Fair Play and Freedom to Build "United States of Africa" Declares an Enlightened World Opinion Must Force Those That Administer Government to Heed the Ominous Cry of 280,000,000 People what we want done at the present time to prevent a recurrence of what happened to us hundreds of years ago. Presenting the Case for the Negro In presenting this case I want to do so with the best of feeling toward all concerned. I came to England under instructions from those millions of people to approach you through your government, through public opinion, through your King and through the crowned heads and the governments of Europe, especially those that have dominions at the present time in Africa. England, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, have assumed within the last fifty years the right politically to parcel out the land of our fathers without anybody saying a word to us. At the Versailles Conference, at the League of Nations, the representatives of those governments created certain mandates without asking us—nearly 300,000,000 people—one word about it. We are here to let not only Europe but the world know that the new Negro is not going to be railroaded into slavery, into becoming a peon, into becoming a serf, as was so easily done in the centuries gone by. (Ap- plause.) Africa for the Africans We are men; we have souls, we have passions, we have feelings, we have hopes, we have desires, like any other race in the world. (Applause.) The cry is raised all over the world today of Canada for the Canadians, of America for the Americans, of England for the English, of France for the French, of Germany for the Germans-do you think it unreasonable that we, the blacks of the world, should raise the cry of Africa for the Africans? (Applause.) Somebody with an evil mind has placed a wrong interpretation upon our motives and upon my expressions. They have tried to make me all kinds of things. They tried to make me a Socialist and a Bolshevist, and when they found out that I was neither they said I was a crook. (Laughter.) And they sent me to prison as a favor (they said) to the colored people; and after they kept me in prison for two years and ten months and found it was not a pleasure but a grave displeasure they found an excuse to commute my sentence, and then they deported me from America. I thought of coming from America at the request of my organization to speak to the English people about whom I read so much and about whom I heard so much for their liberal attitude towards all men; I thought I would have a fair hearing in England to present a clear case not only for the organization I represent but for the Negroes of the world, and to clear my character. The first thing they said about me when I arrived here was that I was a desperate crook—and the person who wrote that about me never saw me; knew nothing about me, had had no dealings with me, but he and others were willing to state a case against me so as to prejudice the success of this meeting, without investigating. An Empty Envelope Do you know what I went to prison for? They said that some unknown employee of mine, because I was President of the Black Star Line, a steamship corporation, and an auxiliary of the organization that I represent now, posted a letter to somebody; in the evidence an envelope was presented to the witness which he identified as addressed to him, but he could not identify any letter contained in the envelope, and the prosecuting attorney presented it in evidence as a fair assumption that the envelope bore mailed matter from the Black Star Line, of which I was President, and because of that—an empty envelope—I was sent to prison in America for five years. (Cries of "Shame!") And you call me a criminal for that; and the newspapers in England have published only that evil side of it without seeing the good that the organization which I represent has done in its fourteen years of existence. ull Report of Historic Meeting In Royal Albert Hall Iarcus Garvey Warns World That the Negro Race Cannot Be Insulted With Impunity Recalls Days When Britons Were Slaves and Their Modern Determination Never Again to Be Enslaved —Says Black Men, Being Human, Have Made the Same Resolve—The Great Issue Cannot Be Evaded MASTERFUL ADDRESS, SENT OUT TO WORLD, RECEIVED ATTENTIVELY BY AULIENCE Reviews Persecution in America and the Dark Ways of Soulless Politics —Says Deporting Negro from America Has Humorous Side—Touches on Great Humanity of the Negro and His Sterling Service to England and America NEGROES ARE THINKING HARD AND WILL NOT ABUSE GOD'S CONFIDENCE IN THEM What have we done in fourteen years? In fourteen years we have organized 11,000,000 black men. (Applause.) We made an effort to prove to you who have helped us—some of you, with very good intentions—to help ourselves that we were capable of doing something for ourselves. Destroying the Black Star Line We started at amusement line called the Black Star Line, the object of which was to offer an opportunity to the Negroes in the western world who were destroys of going back to Africa as missionaries and as settlers to help develop their country. Preparing for that, we started a commercial relationship with the nearby Negroes of the West Indies and America. A big fruit company in America that has exploited the Negroes of the West Indies for 50 years and rallied up a reserve of nearly one billion dollars—starting with one, little, three-masted schooner and today having a steamship line of 150 ships—when they saw that we were in earnest and we were making a successful effort to help the Negro from a commercial point of view. We were able to influence and influenced servants of the American Government, hired our employees so as to make it impossible for this little venture of ours to succeed. After they had done everything in conjunction with others who were desirous of preventing us from entering into any serious business proposition, after they had destroyed the possibility of success, they found someone to complain and offer some promises they indicted me for the failure of the company. They found somebody, who would vouchsafe to me that he should stock in the Black Star Line on my stock on my request. After indicting me the company, they petitioned with 35,000 names and sent out a questionnaire to the 35,000 stockholders of the corporation, making them if they were satisfied with the investments they had in the undertakings of Marring Garvey, did Marring Garvey influence them to buy stock; and so on—there were over 100 other questions—and out of the 35,000 they got eightteen people to say that they were dispatched. These eighteen people were all employees of the American Government. These are the people they tried, to convict me in America. U. N. I. A. Legal Advice Promoted In addition to the fact that for six years 25 per cent. of the employees were secret service agents of the United States Government, it is peculiar also for you to realize that the counsel general to me and to my organisation, on whose advice I agreed, not being an American citizen but a British subject, not knowing the American laws—the counsel general of our organisation, and for me, like this A. THERE is nothing that has ever taken the place of Bayer Aspirin as an antidote for pain. Safe, or physicians wouldn't use it, and indoors it by others. Sure, or several million users would have turned to something else. But get real Bayer Aspirin (as always) with Bayer on the box, and the word genuine printed in bed; Bayer Tablets Aspirin Genuine myself, from the common funds of the organization, an American citizen, who was responsible for the legal phase of our business—while he was in our employ he was also in the employ of the Government. When I was indicted by the Government they called him out from serving us as counsel general, and, after convicting me, they made him an assistant Attorney General of the United States. If anybody should have been indicted, the counsel of the organization, who gave the advice to the organization, should have been indicted. They did not indict him, however; they indicted the President, who acted on the counsel generally's advice. The President was copied and he honored the counsel by giving him an assistant Attorney General of the United States. There are the merits of politics in America. SURPRISED at British Press And I am surprised that the English press should influence the English public to contemn me without a hearing, trying to state that I am a criminal and an ox-convict under those circumstances. (A voice: "Because the principle exists here just the name Another voice: "That is right!") Order, please. Now, I am not here to present my memory, but I am forced to make a statement to go to clear the minds of you, and remind you as a good friend, who have come here in spite of all the vicious and wicked things that have been said—you have come to hear what I have to say on behalf of my race and on behalf of my organization, though secret propaganda has been constructed to present the success of the war, which were chiefly instrumental in my imprisonment in America, and those who profit most by interrupting the success of this organization desired to do that. It is such a grave question that I will endeavor to present it briefly in parts. But once from your minds that I am an ordinary criminal trying to influence you to do something that is not right. I am here because I am in careless, because of my love not only for my own race, but because of my love for humanity. (Applause.) Presenting a Righteous Cause Since I arrived in London the many interviewers of your race, who came to see me only wanted to know if we are a section of Africans, and they wanted to know what part of Africans, and all the rest of it. We are not evil-minded, as the Chairman said, we believe in righteousness. We have a righteous cause, and we are going to present it from that angle. But you Bittlesham, you Englishmen, who have suffered as we did in the past, although far removed from the period of today, were as much slaves hundreds of years ago as we were slaves sixty, seventy or eighty years ago in the western world; you grew out of slavery, the slavery imposed upon you by the Romans; you have developed a culture, and you are a position today to treat with others. (A Voice: That is why they are good slavemasters.) When Englishmen Were Slaves We want to place you mentally back into the position that you were in £5 B. C., when you were slaves to the Romans. Surely you do not feel well about it. It is because or that that you have become such a sturdy race, determined that you shall never be slaves to the Romans. Britons rule the waves and that Britons never, never shall be slaves. As you feel about it, so do we feel about it. (Applause.) You are human beings; we are human beings; we are not asking for anything that is unfair and unreasonable; we are only asking for the right to reposefulness; our fur, our skin, anybody to go into your country and dispose you of it? Surely not. You love the old homeland too well, too much, for that. Appeal to Public Opinion So tonight we come to you Englishman and Englishwomen, you who form public opinion, before going to the Government, because we interpret government only as an executive for the people.

Marcus Garvey, berated the London press for its campaign of misrepresentation. we go to the people to test the sentiments of the people so that you can by that sentiment, direct the attitude of those who represent you from an executive point of view. We do not contemplate rushing on the Government without proper preparation, for the Government to excuse itself by saying, "Well, we are not instructed to do this and we cannot assume the responsibility of doing so." In your public forum we can talk well in your public forum to get your opinion about the matter. We want to find out if you Englishmen, if you Englishwomen, who make up the bone and sinew of your nation, intend that Africa must be exploited, must be taken away from its native peoples; that black men from Africa must be killed, about all over the world, without a home, without a vise and fig tree of their own. If you say you empower your Government to carry that out, then we will know exactly the attitude of the English people in the world, who do not believe that the hearts of Englishmen and Englishwomen are so deprived, so unreasonable, so unfair, so unjust as to instruct their Government to go into the black man's country and dispose him of every bit of his native rights in his own life, if hisoes bring in his own park, an lady told me in Hyde Park just Sunday, "Go back to your country," when I asked a question of a speaker in the ant-苏联 platform. *Deportation Has Humorous Side.* Now, this is something about which you ought to be serious.

E. B. Knox introduced Dr. Charles cred an eloquent address on the "who, declaring his agreement with cus Garvey, berated the London presentation. INTRODUCING DR. GARNETT Mr. Kox said: Upon the platform on my left we have a man, an Englishman, who has lived and worked in Africa among the maplesters, and who is going to reply to the speech of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. I am going to introduce to you a man who has travelled in Africa and who has worked among the Africans and who is capable of responding to the speech of the Hon. Maggie Garvey in such a way as to warring your respectful attention. I have great pleasure now in presenting to you Dr. Charles Garrett of London. Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, or as I prefer to say, brothers and sisters, and I include average whether you are black or white, yellow or brown, or no color at all. You are members of the family to which I belong; you are children of God. We are brothers and sisters, and I should like to speak to you as much. Now, I am allotted, understand, and accept the question which to reply to the element question to which we have been listening, and I propose to divide it so that I shall not trespass upon your patience by exceeding my ten minutes, into three threes, and then there will be one left. "Honest and Honorable Man" The first his reference to the speaker, the Ken Macauley Committee, I have taken the trouble, let me say, quite recently of making curious inquiries and various investigations with regard to the character of our speaker. I do not care to appear on a platform with anyone about whose character there is even a serious doubt, and in view of what the press has said, or suggested, I have taken good care to ascertain that Dr. Tarvey is an honest and honorable man, a credit to the race to which he belongs (Applause.) Now, with regard to his statement of the case of the Negroes, you will probably agree with me that he has stated it clearly and strongly, and it is not necessary that I should add a word to what, has been said with regard to their prejudices the indifference to which they have been subjected, the indignities they have had to bear, and all the rest of it. Though you are not so familiar with these things as he is yet you are quite confirmed. I am sure that our treatment of creative races in America and Africa and elsewhere has been far from what it ought to have been. Conditions in South Africa I do not want to make any attack it, if you can help it, that home is really home to me, and I ought not to be forced to make that home in other lands where I am not wanted. The local! Have you looked upon it from the humorous point of view? It was all a joke to the western world. They, of their own free will, wend 200 years ago to the native land, where I was happy and at peace with myself and with my family, with their own country, and then, after 200 years, deported me. Now, is it not a joke? (baughter and applause.) Little Revealing Incidents They claim that I am an undesirable alien. Just imagining, after 300 years, a Negro becoming undesirable in America. It is such a huge joke that we have not finished laughing at it yet. But those are the little things that weaken you, that weaken white-civilized men, that weaken darker, darker peoples of the world. Those are the little incidents that cause us to think that you are not serious. Fought England's Battles We are not here to do anything that is unreasonable. We are here to present a just claim. You who know your relationship with the Negro know that we have done everything possible to assist and to help you. The history of the centuries tells it. In nearly all your wars we assumed a common responsibility with you so to preserve the Empire. Why, we ourselves are responsible for adding so much to your Empire. Nearly all your possessions in Africa were made possible by the blood of our men under your direction. The West India Regiment, which you have just disbanded, tells a tale in history. You used the British West India Regiment to add nearly all West Africa to your Dominions—(apprehense)—you used the West Indian and African soldiers in the last war to take over all the His Fellowmen of the Survey Is Right; His Accepted If Trouble Are Avoided Cicist Raps British Press, for Against Garvey—Says He Has for Famous Leader as Man of and Honor—Africans are Equal Marcus Garvey's, address the Hon. les Garnett, of London, who deliv- "Africa for the Africans" topic, and the programme of the Hon. Mar- press for its campaign of misrepre- made to the state of things in South Africa. I went out at the resort of the native chiefs some years ago. Some of you may remember that they came over, about a mere of them altogether, and headmen and others, to appeal to our Government to intervene on their behalf, particularly with respect to their land, land that they had inherited for congregations, but from which they were being disposed, driven out. Well, I went over there and remained for a considerable time, making inquiries and leading deputations, making representations to Members of Parliament and what not. I was not only surprised but I was astonished to find that, the treatment meted out to the South African natives was so wanting in sympathy, to say nothing about anything else. Farley three-color hair has been continued after the war, and eventually it would be removed, instead of which I found when I was there that the hair was being extended. The argument was in the Cape Colony, as it was then styled, the natives enjoyed rights and privileges which had not been granted, to those in Natal and the so-called Free State; but it was stated in Shrilim, as you may remember, that when the matter was gone into eventually no doubt the color bar would be taken away; the native would have his rights restored; he might become not merely the occupier but the plegeson of some portion of his native land. Orange Free State Evils I do not know whether you know of the fact, which is indispassible that up to this hour in the so-called Free State no native, however respectable, however well educated, however devoted to the welfare of his people and country—no native can hold immovable property in the so-called Orange Free State. They cannot own a house! they cannot together own a church. They cannot together own a piece of land in which to build themselves the law of that particular state is still on the statute book and has been屡屡 repudiated; instead of the color bar being good of it in being imposed more thoroughly and more severely than ever before. Generating from Africa Well, so far as the matter of West Africa is concerned, I should live to say a word. I am not at all surprised, and I am not at all sorry, that the attack by the lion, Marcus Garvey, and his associates broke down and has come to nothing. I am pleased to think that eventually one struggle on the platform E. B. Knox Tells Achievements of Leader in Speech Of Introduction Introducing the Hon. Marcus Garysey at the Royal Albert Hall meeting, Hon. E. B. Knox said: I am now about to introduce to you a man with such courage and of such sincerity of purpose that he has become the greatest Ngro in the world. (Applause.) The most wildly advertised man in the world; a man who has overcome all sorts of difficulties in the putting over of this program. When he first came to America he was told that what he was endeavor- ing to do could not be done. I think the largest aggregation of Negroes in the western world is in America: Negroes who have become very roughly in all the arts and sciences of the twentieth-century civilization; but, notwithstanding that, as regards the solutions of the Negro problem, that might was right. The Hon. Marcus Garvey taught the Negro in America, the negroes in the West Indies, the Negroes in South and Central America, and the Negroes in Africa, that, to the contrary, right was might. (Applause.) He told the leaders of the Negroes in these respective countries who had just about adapted themselves to the policy that might be right, that within a little while I can prove to you that right is might, and within ten years he has taught the Negroes in these respective countries to disregard the non-essential things that tend to separate us and which have kept us separa- tions for four or two centuries. What Garvey Tught the North Perhaps there are people here, can there people in America, who feel that they know the last word in the solution of the Negro problem. The leaders of your country, perhaps, as the leaders of my country, have taught you that they have well in hand the solution of this Negro problem; but not understanding that I suspect that there are many people here who do not know that Negroes talked the fruit which was on your table this morning. I suspect that there are many people here who do not know that the Negro countries constitute the economic foundation of the western world practically, and your apparently based upon it. Survey has completely upset in the mind of the Negro. (Appliance) This man, in spite of all difficulties, has taught us, as I said before, to ignore, and we have practically overcome, every distinction, every obstacle, that has for four or five centuries kept the Negroes in Central and South America, the West Indies and Africa separated. He has taught us to love, he has taught us to establish a culture of our own. (Appliance). He has converted us to the program of Africas for the Africans. (Appliance)—when the rest of the world said it could not be done. He has taught us to ignore the apparent obstacle in the way of the freedom of conscience and believe in the proposition that a rightous cause is stronger than all the forces of hell; he has taught us to believe that by following the eight principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association after a while every obstacle in the way of the redemption of Africas will be removed. (Appliance) A Voice; God be praised! By following those principles we shall be able to overcome the obstacles that are set in our way by money; we shall be able to overcome the obstacles that are set in the way of African redemption by battleship, and it can be done by doing the right thing, and doing light does not hurt anyone. (Hear, hear.) It will be good for the all. His indomitable Pluek in the putting over of his program in America they maneuvered all kinds of schemes to discredit him, even to the imprisonment of him; but white he was in prison; to show the kind of spirit that he possessed, he wrote the song, *keep cool* (Lavinia and plause). I think he is a fair example, a fair pattern of a modern John Bunyan. He has overcome his difficulties; he has taught us to feel that the Africans, within a reasonable space or time, will become a reality (Hear hear)—that the world will soon be begin to respect the Negro; that the world will soon realize that the God who created us all, created or one blood, all millions of men to swell on the face of the earth, and that He is no respecter of race. He has taught us to believe that the proposition of the golden rule can be made equally amone mankind, and he has taught us to believe that humanity really wants to solve the problem of earth, the only thing necessary to be done at all times is to revenge back to the robbery made—but it infiltration, do not camouflage it; just have the courage to decide the right thing in the right time, sense that is done by all mankind, by the powers that the Negro will not alienate any person. I take pleasure in presenting to you the Ken. Marcus server, who will present the case of the Negro in international affairs. U. S. LEADER TELLS BRITISH WHY FIRST GUNS ARE FIRED IN LONDON Says It is Fitting That Powerful Nation with Great Interests in Africa Should Be Thoroughly Familiarized with Negro Problem; the Solution of Which Might Vitally Affect It in the Days Ahead FOR HARMONY BETWEEN WHITE AND BLACK Men and Women from Every Walk of Life in Attendance at Historic Meeting in Famous Albert, Hall—Great Importance Attached to Event—Ethel Oughton Clarke, Coloratura Soprano, Scores Notable Success LONDON, June 7.—Wednesday night, June 6, will go down in history as one of the eventful dates in the life of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; for it was on this night in the city of London that the organization staged its most important meeting for many years at the famous Royal Albert Hall. The purpose of the meeting was to lay before the people of Europe and, incidentally, of England, the case of the Negro for International Racial Adjustment. Every preparation was made for this meeting, the staging of which cost more than $5,000, and, indeed, the money was well spent, for the assemblage of some of the most serious minds in Europe at the meeting testified to the great importance attached to the effort. Scattered in the great hall were men and women from every walk of life, and of every race, who were deeply moved, judging by their demeanor and the general acclamation, by the reasonableness of the cause advocated in "Africa for the Africans at home and abroad." Everybody has expressed satisfaction over the result of the meeting and there is no part of Europe nor of the civilized world that has not yet learned of the success of this great meeting at the Royal Albert Hall on June 6. The meeting was held on the evening of Derby Day. Yet the great classic race of England, which attracted hundreds of thousands, did not affect the holding of this most important meeting in the vory heart of London. An excellent program was rendered introductory to the speeches that were delivered. The following are the items of the musical programme: Overture, "Masanellel (Aubert);" by Meny Bain; band; audience stands and singa "From Greeland On! On! Mountains!"; by Meny Bain; Band; On!

Meeting a Tremendous Success Meeting a tremendous success Miss Ethyl Amy Johnson Clarke, who will brought over from America to take part in the Concert Program, capitulated the entire audience with her wonderful renditions; all London is talking about her and it is expected that she will have a wonderful future in this country. In this concert, B. K. Know, personal representative of the President-General of the United States, came over from New York to preside at the meeting and created a wonderful impression on the minds of the cosmopolitan audience. Indeed, it can be said that the Universal Negro Improvement Association scored a tremendous success in Europe by putting over successfully this great meeting at the Royal Albert Hall. The principal speech of the evening was delivered by the President-General, Hon. Marcus Garvey, which has become the theme of the chancelleries of Europe. The speech was delivered by forty newspaper reporters and it is today being read all over the civilized world. The enthusiasm with which the speech was received and the voiceless neclamation given proved conclusively that Europe in general, and Engleham particular, have shifted to think about the Negro in terms most serious. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the race has started on a new era and all its neatlined units may look forward to a better future. The opening remarks of the chairman. Hon. E. B. Knox, were as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen, we are assembled here this evening under the umbrellas of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are to promote universal confrontation among all mankind. It is very significant that we are assembled here if the heart of the great British Empire. It means much what you who are assembled here in that what you do, here will help to solve a great problem that is baffling civilization at this time. The whole world awaits this time is interested in the question of peace-peace on earth; peace among mankind; and the Negro people of the world constitute a very vital phase in this problem. The American Negro, the West Indian Negro, and the Negroes of Africa are united in opinion as to what part they are to play in the solution of the problem. Great Work on the Problem. The aims and objects of this organization with which you will be presented in pamphlet form this evening, constituting 13,000,000 members with 12,000 branches in various parts of the world, at work upon the solution of tion was founded by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, (applause) who sits upon my right. He is the moving spirit of the Universal Improvement Association (Applause) and the every phase of the problems that confronts the black people of the world. We are assembled in the heart of the British Empire tonight because we realize what an important factor Great Britain is in this twentieth century civilization. We know the part that she plays; we know the part that she has played in the affairs of the Negro people of the world for the last four or five centuries. We know, on the other hand, that you who are living here in London—in England—constitute the vital part of the population of the great British Empire. You are the nucleus around which this great empire was built, and as the thought and the ideal that gave rise to the foundings of the great British Empire abides in England, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, under the direction of the late Mr. that now was the time when this organization could best advance toward its real by coming back to the salient, people of the great British Empire, and familiarize them with the great problem confronting them and confronting all mankind, and the Negro people of the world especially, at this time. That Peace play Beign Perhaps many of you here do not just exactly know how the Negro problems can be advantageously advanced by holding a meeting in the Royal Albert Hall at this time. This great nation is one of the leading powers that have interests in Africa at this time. We feel that you who constitute the backbone of this great empire will be greatly affected by the course that the solution of the Negro problem within the next few years will be established unless it has to do with the solution of the problem composing the Negro people of the world. (Applause.) We feel that the people of this great nation are fair-minded; we feel that your intelligence and your sympathies are in harmony with the aims and objects of this great organization provided that you are familiarized with them. With our matchless leader, who is here tonight, we have the opportunity to meet this meeting. We have laid our hands, or our minds, upon the pulse of London and I dero say of England and the great British Empire. We feel that we are thoroughly convenient with your knowledge and your observations as to the Negro problem.

NEGRO TAKEN FROM HOSPITAL COT IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, AND HANGED Politicians Alarmed Over Grim Welcome to Convention Delegates—Unusually Prompt Measures Taken to Capture Lynchers—Large Rewards Offered, Texas Rangers and Grand Jury Busy—Six Men Indicted --- HOUSTON, June 21. After the Grand Jury had heard witnesses testify concerning the lynching yesterday of Robert Powell, Negro; who had been accused of killing City Detective Davis, four white men were arrested today. A special committee of citizens helped Houston and Harris County officers in their search for six unmasked men who took Powell from the hospital to his death. The men arrested are Bill Duren, a friend of the dead detective; H. J. Kecee, a taxicab driver; John Kent, an ambulance driver; and A. B. Wheeler, a boilermaker. The police said three more men would be arrested. The Grand Jury subpoenaed several policemen who, they thought, might throw light on the crimes. Every one who saw the man who went to the hospital and carried Powell away in automobiles is being called to testify. Some witnesses have reported that one man in the lynching party wore a police uniform. The rumor that police, in revenge for the death of their fellow officer, participated in the murder of Powell was given special consideration. Bad Feeling in Houston There has been bad feeling between police and young Houston Negroes because of the light sentence given Peter Chester, a Negro, who recently killed P. P. Jones, a white officer; Chester received a death sentence in Harris County, but at a new that in another county got off with four years. This caused friction, and many people believe this instigated the lynching. Rewards aggregating $15,000 have been offered for the arrest and conviction of the killers of Powell, and all available city and county officers, under the direction of Texas Rangers, are working on the case. District Attorney Soule has charge of the manhunt. Judge Langston King charged the Harris County Grand Jury, in session here, to quit everything else and investigate the lynching. Many welfare organizations of the city are, active in the drive to seize and punish the men who committed the crime, which is described by Jessie Whitney and other leading civilizations as a "cold blooded murder," not a lynching in anger. The Commissariats Court, the Loyalty to Law League, the Houston Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation, the Cosmopolitan Club, the Kiwianis Club and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have joined forces to run down its perpetrators. The promise of early success has earned the nerves of men and women who are horrified by the lynching. Texas people try to convince themselves that the killing of Powell was murder, not a lynching. HOUSTON, Tex., June 20—Attended by the first lynching here in fifty-four municipal, city and State officials joined today in the search for eight unmasked white men who early this morning took Robert Powell, twenty-four-year-old Negro, from a hospital cot and hanged him from a bridge outside Houston. The fact that the lynching took place while the national political spotlight is turned on the city council officials particular concern, and quick steps were taken in an effort to fix responsibility. An appropriation of $10,000 was voted by the city council for an investigation by a committee of six, two members of which are Negro. District Judge Langston King changed the Grand Jury to drop all other matters while it inquires into the lynching. Governor Moody, at Austin, offered a reward of $250 for the Rangers here to join others assigned to duty for the Democratic National Convention. Powell was charged with, killing A. W. Davis, city detective, in a gun fight hero Sunday morning. The Negro was shot in the stomach and was in a serious condition when the lynchers entered the hospital early this morning with drawn revolvers, placed a rope around his neck and carried him to an automobile, in which he was whisked away. Policemen found the body swinging from the bridge several hours later. One meager cloak was developed which investigators believed might lead to the apprehension of the lynchers. A Negro attendant at the hospital told officers one of the party wore a white cap, with gold braid on the left alvege and over the left breast, and also wore a stiff cap. In a statement the Houston Commission on Inter-Radial Co-operation, comprising both white and Negro members, said it felt the "law enforcing officers of the State would leave no effort undone to bring to justice the perpetrators of this outrageous crime." Eight white members and fourteen Negro members signed the statement. Six Indicted for Murder In Houston Lynching HOUSTON, Tex. June 22 Indications charging murder were returned here today against six men accused of having lynched Robert Powell, Negro, twenty-four years old, alleged slayer of A. W. Davis, city detective. The indictments named John Kent, twenty-seven years old, ambulance-driver: Charles Oldham, twenty-four; P. T. Shick, thirty-two; Howard Minton, T. J. Rosee and Allen M. Kent. With the exception of Kent all are under arrest. A. B. Wheeler, twenty-six years-old, who made a statement to the police admitting he participated in the lynching and naming others, was not indicted. The Negro was taken from a hospital, where he was, being treated for wounds suffered in a gun fight with the slain officer, and manged from a bridge outside the city early last Wednesday. Detective Davis, was shot last Sunday when he attempted to disperse a group of Negroes. Wheeler, in his statement, said the Negro was not killed when he was first dropped from the bridge with a rope about his neck. Powell was put back on the bridge, the rope shortened and thrown off a second time, the fall dislocating his neck. BESS RETURNED TO PRISON FOR 'SAFE KEEPING' White Woman Repudiates Her Affidavit Which Said She Lied on Negro—Pardon, It Is Said, Will Hold COLU MBIA. S. C., June 22—Ben Bess, Negro, sentenced to thirty years for attacking Mrs. Maude Collins and pardoned after thirteen years of imprisonment when the woman swore he was innocent, was sent back to the State penitentiary today for "safe keeping" while the Grand Jury investigated several mysterious angles of the case. The grand jury based its decision on information obtained by L. C. Johnson, State detective, sent by Gov. Richardson at the request of Solicitor L. M. Ganquid to have discuss the case. This revealed that John M. Timmons of Florence, retired farmer and merchant, gave Mrs. Collins $40 furnished by Bede to enlist an aidwarrant which resulted in the release of the Negro early in May. Bess it is said, won the money gambling with fellow prisoners. In the second aidwarrant the woman said in part: "I have not at any time signed any paper to release Bess from the penitentiary. I did sign an paper saying that I forgave him for the wrong he had done me, or that in what I thought I missed, I can't read at all, and that if how I understand the paper when it was read to me in the Probate Judge's office." "The affair, reiterated that Been was "guilty of the charge." Tinnmouth, was not called by the Grand Jury. He told newspaper men his only interest was sympathy for the Negro who had framed at his store. He denied the contents of the first affair, had been misrepresented and said he had read the paper to the woman in the presence of her son. It is said the pardon, however, will hold and that Been cannot be tried again because of dupl. jeopardy. Detective Johnson has a warrant for Been charging felonious assault and battery with intent to kill. He is accused of attacking a fellow prisoner with a knife. NEGRO • COLLEGE FUND NOVV TOTALS $160,000 $10,000 from Julius Bosenwald Aiids Livingston Institute in North Carolina A gift of $10,000 from Julius Rosenwald, chairman of the board of directors of Sears, Rockbuck & Co., toward the drive for $20,000 being made by Livingston College, Salisbury, N. C., one of the leading Negro educational institutions in this country, was announced recently by W. J. Trent, president of the college. Speaking at the New York Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, Mr. Trent explained that the receipts now total about $160,000, including a contribution of $75,000 from the General Education Board, $25,000 from the James B. Duke estate and $50,000 from various Negro city organizations. "Negro education is being stressed as never before in order to train members of the colored races to compete on an equal basis with white men and women." Mr. Trent said in a talk on "Negro Education." "Liyingan College, which has already achieved an A rating, is doing a great work in educating Negroes to act better with their white neighbors. "One of the most encouraging signs of our times is the interest which our white neighbors have taken in the campaign for broader Negro education. John D. Rockefeller, Julius Roszewald, B. N. Dukes and many others who have contributed to our drive have also expressed their praise and well-wishes for this work." For Legal Defense of Miami Members Claude Green and J. B.

MARCUS GARVEY delivered his famous address at the historic Royal SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, June 18.—Antonio Barcelo, President of the Porto-Rican Senate, was stabbed with a chisel at the close of a welcoming demonstration at City Hall today and probably owes his life to the fact that he is fat. The chisel made a four-inch wound, then was dicked by a rib. Justo Matoz, 35 years old and believed to be demented, who attempted the assassination with the unusual instrument, was himself shot through the abdomen by an unidentified bystander after police say, actually, had him in custody. The condition of Matoz is considered critical. In their efforts to protect Matoz police were unable to detect who had shot him. The account on Sengar Barcelo took place at the close of a holiday welcome while hundreds of persons arrived about him with greetings. Sengar Barcelo was just returning home from New York where Columbia University gave him an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws and President Butler had referred to him as captain of his island people." 'SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, June 18, 1961' Sengar Barcelo tonight was in a hospital undergoing treatment for his wound. Matos was in prison, heavily guarded to protect him from an outraged populace. 'A house crowd met Sengar Barcelo at the docks and escorted him to the Plas, where on 2 balcony overlooking the grenomade he addressed them. It was while he was speaking that J. A. CRAIGEN, High Commissioner. Mates "edged through the crowd, pushed his way onto the low balcony and wilthed his chisel. The crowd ap- parently did not comprehend what had happened. There was a shot from somewhere, and Mates was seen to fall, writting in pain on the street level, where police took charge of him. At the hospital, where Sonar Bar- celo was taken, Booters declined to state whether the wound was likely to prove fatal. The motive to Mates action is not known. Some in the crowd who not- iced him before his deed said he re- marked him he was ill, and then added that he could kill ten Porto Ricena wilt- ingly. The stabbing itself perhaps by coincidence, followed the statement in Senator Barcelo's speech that he was not a member of any political party or faction but a Porto Rizan, and was proud of the honor accorded him by Columbia University not so much for his own values as that it went to a citizen of his country. In Democratics, Senator Barcelo's newspaper, this afternoon said States had visited their office and the Barcelo home for a week asking when the legislator would return here. Other afternoon papers refer to him in a "Socialist tangle," and one calls him a "confessed anarchist." LONDON, June 22.—Twenty-seven people were arrested in London last year, all of which were solved, according to a report by the Police Commissioners today. Twelve persons were charged and ten paupers committed suicide, while one died in an accident. The value of property stolen was $82,200, properly recovered announced to $66,000.

A copy of the purported letter was given to the press yesterday. "The shipment of medical supplies was sent from New York in the early part of March. In answer to a plea from General Sandino that "for want of bandages and medicines my wounded are dying like dogs on the road." When the constriction reached Froylan Turcios, personal representative of General Sandino at Tegucigalpa, Honduras, a call was made for a volunteer to take it to Sandino, according to the story told yesterday, by Harry Gannos, Secretary of the "Anti-Imperialistic League in this city."

Firestone, president of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, who recently visited New York to welcome and greet his son, Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., on his return from Liberia, said that American rubber interests had made progress "in combating the control of crude rubber prices caused by the British Rubber Restoration Act." He pointed out that Liberia, the Dutch Colonies, and other unrestricted areas were catching up with Britains controlled production. Despite this, he declared, the price was still high, because the British were releasing only 60 per cent of their normal supply. Seeking an unrestricted supply of rubber, the Firestone Company is developing its resources in Liberia. The youngest Mr. Firestone has been there to open a chain of stores to distribute American products to the natives, as an inducement to work on the rubber plantations. Hospitals, houses and trade schools are also to be established. The Firestone Company has leased 1,000,000 acres from the Liberian Government and when this tract is planted and producing the company expects to have an independent supply of 500,000,000 pounds of rubber annually.

A LYNCHING, A CONVENTION AND A LEGAL MACHINE EXTRAORDINARY HOUSTON, Texas, June 21.—At the old bridge they found him, hanging by the neck. In the white oak thicket mocking birds were singing. And there was "Nigger Bob," dangling stiff, with the sun coming up behind him and his eyes turned to heaven. "Lord, have mercy!" he had pleaded. But they put the rope around his neck, jerked him from the hospital bed, and carried him off to the old bridge. He had shot Detective Davis, they said. . . "Houston has been shamed before the nation," says the Chronicle, published by Jesse Jones, candidate for the Presidential nomination. "To those Democrats who are now pouring in on us, and to the world at large, we can only say that the people of Houston do not approve this thing." The Mayor at once appointed an investigating commission; the City Council appropriated $10,000 for search and rewards; the inter-racial co-operation commission—and the Citizens' League for Law Loyalty started to function; the Governor assigned Texas rangers to the case, and posted rewards. Button the streets there is no talk of the lynching, apparently no interest. Only Negroes her and whisper, alert lest they be overheard. "Bob don't kill the cop," they matter. "Then police jest wanted blood, cause Pete Chester warn't hung a year ago for shooting another cop what beat him up." So runs the story of a white newspaperman to a New York daily annot the most recent lynching outrage that has come to shame the nation. Houston is the center of the world stage today. The eyes of the world are trained on this Texan port where, the "plumed knights of democracy" are gathered to fashion their platform and elect the standard-bearer of the Democratic Party in the November elections. And as the delegates saunter past "the old bridge," a young Negro, a hole in his side, hanging by the neck, meets their glove. It is the time when politics is to be played with a vengeance, and so there is instant indignation. The Government of Texas, public and private bodies, are galvanized, into action. Rewards are posted; the Texas Rangers are put on the job; a Grand Jury is held in readingness; the white fiends must be appreciated; the fine escutcheon of the chilivarous South must not be tarnished; the Texan house of cards, so painstakingly built up, must not torpedy—Nigger Bob" must be avenged! Let us indeed hope that this dastardly outrage, one of a series that has made the history of certain States of the Union read like a page from the Dark Ages, is not symbolic of the Houston spirit that is the spirit of the Democratic Party. Let us go further and hope that this wretched occurrence, with its seemingly fatalist timeliness, will serve to jack up the consciences of the men and women in Convention at Houston and send ther back to their respective communities below the Mason and Dixon line determined to campaign, not only for the Negro's vote, but also for his goodwill and for the institution of a new era wherein the Negro citizens of this country will not any longer be exposed to the bloodthirstiness of the ignorant and sadistic "cracker." If young Robert Powell's cruel end serves to remind law officers and demonstrate to the nation at large that launching exists only by virtue of the indifference and complicity of the authorities, he will not have died in vain. If this grave political shadow thrown across the entrance to the Convention hall of one of the major parties succeeds in accentuating the hypocrisy that lies behind the glittering promises of political expediency, poor Bob will not have darkened the landscape in vain. The Negro at present can do little more than protest. And protest he must with all the power of his lungs. But what if protests fail! It is the duty of the Negro to continue to support, to the limit of his resources, the Universal Negro Improvement Association with its programme which calls for the establishment of a Government in Africa, strong enough to compel the respect of men everywhere, and insure protection for its nationals. When all else may fail, the respect for power will win. The cowardly white mobocrat will, we know, disappear when it is made expensive for him to engage in his fandish sport. 25,000 Africans Strike On Diamond Diggings CAPETOWN, June 20 (Canadian Press Cable via Rutgers).—Twenty-five thousand men are involved in the strike of native workers on the alluvial diamond digging near Lichtenburg, which today resembled a refuge camp. The town hall and churches are being used to accommodate the flooding into the town from the diggings, and an outbreak of disorder is feared. The white clowns are demanding greater police assistance. The native Pronounced "Pay-Ping" Means "North Peace" Pelping, the new name given to the ancient Chinese city of Pelping by the victorious Nationallite, is pronounced "pay-ping," according to Chinese students at Columbia University. The first syllable, on which the accent fails, is pronounced simply as "pay" in English and the second as "ping" in "ping-pong." Dispatched from Pelping said that the word meant "Northera Pacified City." The students believe that the Turco-Afghan Treaty Signed by Ameer Has Great Significance in the Orient CONSTANTINOPLE. June 1.—Soviet Sociologists and Republican Turks may have eased their political consciences while entertaining the Afghan Ameer by recalling the old proverb that a cat may look at a King. But, during his sojourn in their unfinished capital, Republican Turks were hard put to it finding a presentable specimen of Anglo- French fleees,纤ines for the Afghan monarch to look at on his return to Kabul. Whole Republican Turkey has been careful not to lot for any of its neighbors get its goat, of which there are fine specimens on the Ghazai's Angora farm, yet there are probably more specimens of Angora's famous cat cherished by elderly ladies in Brooklyn and elsewhere, than like to be found today in Angora itself. If, however, in this post-war world there still survives political as well as commercial goals, the world is reluctantly ready to say that with the Turco-Afghan Treaty Angora has added a choice assortment to its collection. Now that the Ameer has left on the last lap of his historic court it is evident that the last impression was the beat. Which is to say that Angora, and not Moscow, had the last word. True, that last lap began on Soviet territory, from Batum, where the last foreign salutes he heard were fired by the guns of the Soviet squadron which solicitously angled, officially called here to escort him from Turkish waters. But it was at Angora, of all the capitals he visited, that King Ammanullah left behind a signed treaty of co-operative friendship. A. Profitable Shift Thus, not in vain did republican Turkey place her new capital in Asia. For centuries Constantinople linked Asia and Europe, but it was always down to the Athens of the Great war, dominated by the guns of foreign dreadnoughts, whose as strategicly remote Angora will reopen those ancient caravan routes which, since the day, the Romans built the ciselde of Anchya have stretched from east to west. And Angora, of all the capitals that Ammanullah visited, is closest to Kabul. Today there is a distinct sense of triumph in Turkey, and the results of the Turco-African Treaty are commensurate with the political significance that Europe placed upon the Afghan Amere's tour. The man in the streets does not need the cartoon reminders of his Kuraguez or Turkish. Punch to realize that the stolied Afghan Padishah, who delieved him by speeches in broken Turkish, came to Turkey unimpressed by British naval or Soviet air power. Angora has already justified its Atlantic revolution. Its first political and social influences are to be exerted in Asia. What is more, it will endeavor to build another Angora on the giddy African heights, emanated socially, an inaccessible strategically, as pepulent politically. A cynic of the old school of diplomacy might even analyze the new treaty so, being one in the pre-war civilization that pays through penetration, a triangle-hole upon the window, complains nation. With that momentous treaty be-but Amannahil, apparently know his own mind when he left Kabul. He already regarded Angora as more than the symbol of latter-day anachromism and iconoclasm. It stands for European eyes. Despite the Artatic and holem aliginities he may have esteemed, Amannahil arrived in Turkey to find that Islam was no longer the State religion, that alcohol and tobacco which his semi-fantastical subjects abhor, are State monopolies. For all that Amanu- lihil guaranteed in the figurative idiom of the East that he hadic over one of which was Turkey and the other Armenia. Bringing to Exert Influence Thus, naturally, and suspiciously under the new treaty, Angola begins to exert an influence that in time will be of a far-reaching significance to England, and Russia, the two rival colonizers in the Orient. While Angola, by the revolutionary changes in the religious life of the republic, has more or less alienated Moslem India despite the 'latter's' agitation, under Gandhi over the Caliphate question in the Turkish hour of destiny at Lausanne, yet it cannot fail to recover prestige in Indian eyes by its promised Westernization of Afghanistan. Meanwhile, the sincerest form of Soviet battery has become apt and timely imitation. During the Afghan sojourn in Turkey, perhaps in response to the Angora's Assembly's beau geste on the occasion of Ammanullah's visit to the plenary session when it passed the law setting dupe1, 1923, as the date for the onlineloading of Arabic cameras, Turkish newspapers printed the Moscow, announcement that the Russian Caucasian and Turkestan would follow Turkey's example and abandon the Arabic characters for the Roman- But, despite the natural and sentimental Asiatic affinities that have resulted in a strong political alliance, with its underlying suggestion of mutual military support in time of need, Amanullah's visit called for a display of tact and diplomacy with which Angora may not be generally credited. The religious susceptibilities of the Ammer as a strict Sunni Moslem community are clearly shown. Those which is generally used on social occasions in Turkey, was absent from all official entertainments where the Afghanna appeared. It was to reactionary Constantinople, discarded capital, historic seat of the abolished Caliphate, whose Oriental domes and minarets were the first reminder of his return from West to East. That Amanullah came to digest his whirlwind impressions of modern, western Angora. After the first glimpse of these Oriental domes and minarets when he handed from Sebastopol he had been immortalized among the Angora. Indeed, he landed on Constantinople's Aelatine shore, at Haldar, Pasha, her gateway to Anatolia and Asia. Found Many Things Changed But he returned last week to spend his remaining five days in Europe on the Bosporus, at the Dolma Bagtche Palaea of Suitan Abdul Hamid, where last summer the Ghazi returned to the reactionary city on his first official visit, after leaving obscurely in 1513 to found the republic in Anatolia. Like the Ghazi last summer, Amanuifah must also have been reminded that he no longer stood in the shadow of God’s vicegerent. The little gold and plush divan throne of the Ottoman’s stands forgot in the throne room. hind him, pledging himself and his fanatical kingdom to a new life and future under the ruthlessly pragmatic guidance of Aigrette, Amaryllah did some thinking along with his sightseeing. Like any American tourist, he visited the mosques and palaces, viewed the symbols of a vanished Moordom dynasty that was once his spiritual suzerain. Even the jeweled sword that the Ghazi, Mustapha Kemal Pasha, had presented to him in Angola was quite unlike the historic Oriental schistators of the House of Othman, which he saw exhibited behind the glass of the Soraghi Museum. But there was one visit that this orthodox Moslem mourn, suddenly turned passionate pilgrim, felt obliged to make. It is never in the ordinary tourist—historic; it was never made by lay Moslems in the past. Only once a year the Sultan Caliph received a few high dignitaries in the Hirikat Sherif Oddasi or Chamber of the Sacred Mantle until republican, iconoclastic Angora chimmed the door and put the key in its pocket. This chamber houses the five relics of the prophet, all of which were objects of idolatrous vegetation—the mantle, flag, staff, sword and bow. Being the most sacred relics in the Moslem world, once a year the Sultan Caliph invited, privileged guests to kiss, through the covering, the casket containing the Prophet's mantle. It was in the courses of the sequester visit that the Orthodox Anamulah found himself outside the closed door of the once sacred chamber. Like a plum-Moslem he wished to do his reverence. It was an embarrassing moment for Angora's representatives in Constantinople. They, too, were thinking of that newly signed treaty that belonged to sweet Anamulah's Moslem fanatism out of the path of the Western, maternalism which Angora must install. Meanwhile there was this orthodox royal guest waiting to pay his religious respects to sacred reliance that no longer meant anything to their custodians, but which doubters meant a great deal to the rest of the Medieval world. There was nothing to say or do but produce the key to the door. As I was not present it is not for me to impatiate that some modern legionnaire was invoked by Angersa embarked representatives. Let us amuse that without the aid of the key Hoodini would speedily have opened that residental door. But the fact remains that the door, closed since the day, was not the foot of republican Turkey on its Western path of progress, refused to yield to the custodians' key. And that was precisely, that, "The Afghan monarch had no Boudinat at hand, and if there is one in Constantinople there was no time to summon him. The royal senate could not be kept waiting. There were Girl and Boy Scouts to be reviewed, there was the local art school, where Turkish students are doing sculpture in the round, making images expressively forbidden by orthodox Muslim teaching to be inspected. In reply to the emerged apologies of the custodian, Ammanilah could but remarkably a loyal, orthodox Moslem monarch—that Afghanistan likewise had a mantle of the Prophet. And when this week-end the Ghazel, Mustapha Neemal Islam, arrives for the Summer season in Constantinople, let us hope that the custodian of the Chamber of the Prophet's Mantle will receive the praise he deserves for keeping that door closed upon the past and reminding. Tuckey's newest Moslem pupil that, the tempo of progress is a jazz and not a hesitation waits. Interracial Work Praised By Methodist Bishops KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 15.—The work of the Commission on Inter-racial cooperation with incorporation in Atlanta, and branches throughout the South, was highly commended by the Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church in their address to the general conference in recent quadrential session in this city. The section of the address, referring to the Commission was as follows. "As illustrating the possibility of constructive effort in the correction of race prejudice, we would call attention to the remarkable work done, by the Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation in a field of unusually delicate relationships and perplexing problems. It is one of the movements which has called constantly for self-resraint and that faith which inspires broad-minded endeavor. We would formally acknowledge our obligation to those who have given themselves to the promotion of this work, and we should not only encourage the Commission to continue in its particular field; but also should accept its accomplishment as suggestive of what may be done and ought to be done in bringing other racial groups together. The general conference has it in its powers, by the promotion of such agencies, to strengthen in a significant measure the power of inter-racial cooperation." Still Believes That "Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself" Pronouncement Will Some Day Guide White America in Dealings With Black ATLANTA, Ga., June 22.—"America has a supreme opportunity to show the world that two races radically different can live by side in peace and friendship and work out their destiny together in mutual, helpfulness," said Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tunkegee Institute, before an interracial commencement audience of fifteen hundred that packed and overran the Sisters' Chapel of Spelman College. "We have not yet learned fully how to do it." continued Dr. Moton, "but thousands of sincere people of both races are working at it honestly, and encouraging progress is being made." Taking as his text the parable of the Good Samaritan as illustrating the second of Jesus' great laws, "Thou shalt love 'thy neighbor as selfish." Dr. Moton showed how the parable applaud perfectly to the "interracial situation in America today, and made a powerful plan for an unselfish, Christlike love of humanity that will make each race kindly, just and helpful in its attitude toward the other. Such an attitude, he insisted, offers the only hope for the solution of the interracial problem. It will work and nothing else will," he said, basing his confidence on many striking incidents from his own observation and experience. "If I could keep only one of Jesus two great laws," said Dr. Moton. "I would choose to keep the second; for I very much doubt if there is any way by which a man may really love and serve God except by loving and serving his fellowmen. Whether you can measure up to that standard even though your neighbor he your enemy, in the test of both your education and your religion, for the primary purpose of each if to prepare people to get along together, in Friendly helpfulness." Dr. Moton spoke in high terms of the interracial movement of the hundreds of Southern women who have gone on record in condemnation of lynching and in behalf of a fair deal in race. The occasion of Dr. Moton's address was the joint commencement session of Spelman and Morghouie College, which brought out the largest audience assembled in the Sisters Chapel since its dedication last spring by its donor, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Miss Florence M. Read, Spelman's new president, occupied the chair and presented the speaker. The scripture was read by Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse, and prayer was offered by Dr. M. S. Davies, president of Clark University. Several beautiful musical numbers were rendered by the students under the skilled direction of Prof. Kemper Hyrlein. HEALTH TOPICS By Dr. ALICE ASSERSON of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association First Aids to Keeping Well The United States Public Health Service recently, published results of a study showing that the average American is ill about once a year. Forty percent of the illnesses are "of insufficient gravity to require continuation in bed." Yet much skepticism is preventable today. Science has learned how to prevent many diseases and how to treat many others before they have done real harm. Many physical defects are remediable if they are discovered and treated early enough—before they are given a chance to cause permanent injury to the system. Now-a-day the medical profession is aiming to keep people well, rather than just to confine their efforts to curing them of illness. But, in order to accomplish this, each individual must give his co-operation to the task. Have a complete physical examination by your family doctor once each year. This is one of the most important steps in keeping well. It is not enough to feel well. You should make certain that you are in good condition by having a doctor give you a complete "overhunting" every year. You do as much for your automobile and your radio. You do it to your family to protect your physical well-being by having a yearly examination. Get plenty of sleep. Eat wholesome, nourishing, food and avoid excess pastry and rich dhosa. Get as much outdoor exercise and sunlight and fresh air as possible. Watch your daily health habits. You will thus be doing much to decrease the forty percent of illnesses which are so severe that you keep people in bad. HOMELEY PHILOSOPHY MASTERING YOUR TONGUE Who, has not suffered through gar- dollierness? We break our necks often by the words we speak. Talkativeness is a weakness that can be corrected, even cured, by drastic measures. Resolve firmly, day by day, that you will not reveal to a Single soul this or that fact and then stick to it. At first it will not be easy, the tongue will nimby betray us, but stick to it. Try again and yet again, persistence is required of what we have done. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is an institution dedicated to the general welfare of the Negro people of the world. That we surround it with such efficiency, financial and moral, through which it can give, the race the very best service possible is the plea of its founder and president general, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, from his European headquarters in London. This is our task and we must keep hammering away until we have completed it. Sensible ministers of the gospel answer the critics of Christ and Christianity from the philosophy the Master himself gave to the world and from which there is, no escape. They draw upon His authority, that of the prophets of old, His disciples and other Christian martyrs in clearing away any doubt, fear, and misunderstanding of those who are hostile to Christ and His program. Those ministers who have failed are those who rely upon their own ability to interpret the two to the people. Christ left his own interpretation of life—a code for the salvation of all—and there can be no substitute. "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." Like Christ, Garvey has given to the world the one and only proper interpretation of African life—a code for the salvation of the Negro people of the world—and there can be no substitute. Garvey is to us in our temporal life what Christ is to us in the spiritual, the Way, the Truth and the Life. Quite a great deal of doubt, fear, and misunderstanding, could be removed from the minds of those outside the fold of Garveyism if our field representatives, presidents, speakers, and executive officers who are charged with the responsibility of interpreting our real purposes to the people at large would rely more upon the philosophy of the program as expounded by the Hon. Marcus Garvey himself and less on their own ability to do so. Outsiders who flock to our meetings come to be informed and educated in our idealism rather than to witness a display of individual intelligence and egotism. Our program and life of the association revive around the pronouncements and activities of Marcus Garvey. He is the great influence to which the whole world is drawn and the public is primarily interested in his version of African nationalism and not the interpretation placed upon it by the officer and representatives. Many prospective members have been lost to us because these servants fail to utter one thoughtful phrase, one pertinent statement of fact that impressed their audiences with the seriousness of our program. Too much time is spent discussing religion and attacking other leaders and organizations, which is both illuminating and important to the intelligent excavation of the great work we have carved out for racial preservation. These are matters that should be left entirely to the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who has requested that we leave him to take care of his enemies. There's no excuse for any U. N. I. A. speaker failing to win the confidence and respect of his audience, however cultured on critical it may be. Hundreds of weekly messages and addresses of the founder and President General are available. So is his "Philosophy and Opinion." The window contained in these can rout the most antagonistic. The course to be followed in our locals is to select a group of intelligent men and women with the ability to read convincingly and interpret properly these speeches and messages for the edification of the people on Sundays and special occasions. These should invariably substitute for principal speeches, the majority of whom are incompetent to give the correct version of our program. From time to time also, distinguished men and women of both races deliver thoughtful addresses to our locals which are reproduced in The Negro World. These, too, can substitute for principal discussion. Behind in mind always that, regardless of your ability as a man of thought and culture, locally, you are not appreciated as you should. Our people have not yet reached that stage of cultural development to acclaim genius wherever found. They are still mental slaves, often jealous and prejudiced towards local talent, yet, any fool from outside your community can receive attention denied to you. Always keep before the people the philosophy and opinions of Marcus Garvey and other competent authorities on the race problem. Keep self in the background and push forward the fundamentalism of African redemption. Quito-recently Dr. Kauri Nakashima, Executive Secretary to the Japanese Consul General, at San Francisco, Calif., delivered a brilliant address to the people. Oakland under the auspices of our local branch there. This distinguished gentleman closed his stirring discourse in a blaze of glory by quoting from one of the most dynamic utterances of the Honorable Marcus Garvey—one that has been fully analyzed and preserved by the disciples of imperialism. The reaction to this unexpected quotation by the learned speaker was thrilling. He was cheered to the echo and acclaimed by all. Those who heard him will remember that bit of philosophy he quoted from Mr. Garvey when the doctor's own philosophy of nationalism and the important part it plays in the history of races and civilizations have been forgotten. All of us, especially officers and executives, should be thoroughly acquainted with the history of our Association and thus be qualified to meet all purposes, and to inform all associations included in from one another. The messages and speeches of Mr. Garvey on the fundamental principles of our organization and the safety guidelines where informing and educating the masses are concerned. For years I have had the respectful attention of varied audiences in my travels for the Association because early in field work I realized that the public was interested in Macdonald Garvey first and not so much in those who represent him and the Association. For eight years these messages and speeches of the great teacher have been at my side wherever I go, and they have never failed me. It is impossible to promote them all, but I have studied them so closely that certain philosophy on issues of the day of vital concern to the race are indisputably written upon my mind and one would have to go some to catch me napping in defenses of the organization and the leadership of Where there is efficiency there in culture and intelligence, knowledge and understanding, vision, and keen judgment. I read and thoroughly digest the foremost Negro newspapers and magazines published in this country and abroad. From them I gather invaluable data in defense, of the necessity for a distinct national entity and government of our own in Africa. The more I follow the progress and achievements of the race as revealed through these periodicals, the more I am convinced that the program we sponsor offers the only solution to this vexed problem of race. Our African program demands that we keep step with new imperial policies and the march of internationalism. We must, therefore, read and digest also the classical literature of the white and yellow races—their big metropolitan dailies, their scientific and political monthly magazines, and the work of their historians and propagandists. From these may be-extracted much ammunition-for arguments in favor of African Nationalism. Several pointed articles, discussions and reviews on world politics and economics as they affect the relationship of races and nations are carried regularly by these publications, and we who are serious in intent and purpose would do well to follow the trend of thought as propounded therein. The success of the struggle we are waging depends entirely upon the fitness of the combatants and not merely upon the righteousness of the struggle itself. Removing Misunderstanding. Quite a great deal of doubt, fear, and from the minds of those outside the forces, presidents, speakers, and executive responsibility of interpreting our reality more upon the philosophy of the pre Garvey himself and less on their own to our meetings come be informed as to witness a display of individual intel life of the association revolve around of Marcus Garvey.

Visitors came from many parts of the world, many of them sleeping until daybreak, when, if the sky is cloudless, the sun momentarily rests brilliantly upon the altar stone, where, according to ancient legends, human sacrifices were made before the dawn of history. MARCUS GARVEY WARNS WORLD (Continued from page 2) territories, that you have taken over from Germany. (Hear, hear!) Morgan Shed, Trade Board. Negress Seed Their Blood For America *Not only have we fought to add new territory to the British Empire, but we have fought to save the American Union; we have fought to make American independence possible. The first man who shed blood in America for the independence, of the American Union was a black man on Boston Common by the name of Crispus Attucks. In the Civil War, the black soldiers saved the day many a time. The great Theodore Roosevelt that you have heard of—Theodore Roosevelt the blessed—he was saved to serve his country and humanity not by his own Rough Riders, but by black men. Prospering Through Negro Labor Prospering Through Negro Labor Do you know that we have gladly borne your burdens for hundreds of years? The cotton mills of Lancashire, the great shipping port of Liverpool, tell the tale of what we have done as black men for the British Empire. The cotton that you consume and use in keeping your mills going has for centuries come from the Southern States of the United States; it is the product of Negro labor. Upon that cotton your industry has prospered and you have been able to build the great British Empire of today. (Hear, hear). Have you no gratitude for a people who have helped with all that God gives them to give in fellowship and in good grace to others? Nogroos in the World War We are not before you tonight asking you to pay us for 300 years of labor in slavery. No. We are only asking you now for common justice. With the terrible system of dishonor that existed in Europe you were forced into a great war—the War of 1914 to 1918; a war that never concerned me; a war that never concerned any black man in the world, because for the last 300 years the black man has been a man of peace. It was your war; but when it was too much for you you called for help, and two million of us black men went from Senegal, from the Yemen from West Africa, from East Africa, from the West Indies, from the United States of America, and tonight the blood of our boys has soaked the soil and their bones are buried in Flanders where the poplies grow. Not for any political reason on behalf of the Negro, but in answer to the call to save the world for democracy and to protect the rights of weaker peoples. That was the urge that called us into war. Two million of us answered, and humiliated of thousands of us laid its Distributing the Spoils At Versailles, when the Peace Treaty was to be signed, you called everybody in and you distributed the spoils of war to everybody. You gave to the New Palestine; you gave to Egyptians a larger medium of self-government; you gave the Irish Home Rule Government and Dominion garrison; you gave the Poles a new Government of their own. But what did you give to the Negro? (A voice: "Nothing"). What did you do to the Negro? You throw his dead body on the streets of Curtiss, smashed the coffin and blocked the people about ammunition, football of it after he came back from the war. In America, 260,000 boys had hardly taken off their uniforms when on parading in the streets, one of them was lynched in the very uniform of the United States in which they had died on the battlefields in France and Flanders. Is that a just, reward for service so generously given? Truth Must Be Told Yet we are not more about it; we are not vexed about it; we only want you people to know the truth; because we do not believe that the hearts of all Englishmen are bad; we do not believe that the hearts of all the American people are bad. When I spoke of the lack of morality in politics in America I did not mean to infer among the people, but I mean to infer without any reference among the politicians in power. (Hear, hear). Proud of His imprisonment. Now, I consider myself honored to have been indicted at the time and to have been sent to prison at the time under the administration of such a rogue and vengeful like the ex-Attorney-General of the United States of America, Harry Daugherty, the very man who engineered my indictment, plotted my indictment with others, who was such a rage that they had to kick him out of office and indict him for fraud in connection with $7,000,000 of allen enemy funds, and whose only plea to the jury was that he had an old mother! But because he belonged to the party in power they convicted the other fellow who acted under his urge, and let him go. As I have said, I feel honored to have been indicted under the administration of such a A Comparison When I was in the Federal Prison in America, I was associated with whom? I was associated not with the ordinary criminal of the escape; I was an associate of os and a fellow conyct in companionship with men like ex-Governor McCray or the State of Indiana, and of Senators and Congressmen of the United States; so you will understand that being imprisoned in the United States is not like being imprisoned in England. (Heart. Heart!) Therefore, you should not condemn me without trying me on the principles of English justice. I do not believe there is any law on your statute book that would convict a man because some unknown agent of his posted an empty envelope. There is no such law on the statute book of England; yet you say I am a criminal because I was convicted on such a flimmy charge in the United States of America. Means to an End But, men let me show some of the I see that are being done against us. My imprisonment in America was only the means to an and in the commercial and industrial schemes of men who are-creating so much trouble in the world today. Take the great rubber shortage. In the Cause of Rubber There was a great rubber shortage in 1823 up till 1925 on the part of the Americans. You English had cornered the rubber market; you-had all the Rubber plantations under your control in the Malay Peninsula. The Americans had no rubber reserve. Mr. Hoover acted as foster father for all American rubber interests. He set out to get control of Rubber land in any part of the world where he possibly could get control of them. Just about that time my organization, in carrying out its serious programme of rebuilding Africa through the help and influence of the educated Negroes of the West going home, had completed an agreement with the Liberian Government for that Government to place at our disposal four sections of the little country of Liberia, so that, we could start our experiment in helping to build Liberia and make her worthy of a worthwhile Negro State in West Africa. We sent four Delegations out to Liberia, who were received by the President of Liberia and by the Liberian Government. An agreement was entered into. They advised us at what time we should start sending out our colonists to Liberia. Liberia's Shameful Act Acting on their instructions and so hurry, we equip full-half a million dollars in buying machinery and materials and in securing one of the best steamships afford, known as the S. S. "General G. W. Goethals," a German liner taken away from the Germans during the war. She won a well constructed boat of "3,500 tons." We bought her from the Panama Railroad Company and paid nearly $300,000 for her and in purchasing equipment. After we had spent nearly half a million dollars, after we had entered into agreements with expert civil engineers and mechanical engineers and mining engineers, and had taken from a company in America one of their best expert civil engineers to be the director-general of our work in Liberia, after we had everything ready. Firestone's agent found out that it was possible to grow rubber in Liberia. He, therefore, influenced the President of Liberia—Charles King, the man who had entered into a sacred agreement with us—to abrogate the contract between his government and my organization, and to place at his (Firestone's) disposal the land that was to be given to our organization. Without any advice without any instructions, when our advance agents landed in Liberia, instead of receiving them as they promised they would, they departed them. Stole the U. N. I.-A. Materiali When the ships of the Rail Line arrived with our material aboard nearly $200,000 worth of materials, they landed the materials and have kept them up to now. (Cries of "Shame!" They also have Firestone 1,000,000 acres of land which they had placed at our disposal for colonization purposes. Firestone was backed by Mr. Hoover, the Secretary of Commerce in America. Giving King a Free Hand. Giving King a Free Time Therefore you will understand that it was convenient at that time, in 1822, to rush me to prison, because jung at that time I was able to make not only trouble for Charles King, but for Firestone, for double-crossing us in Liberin. I had enough influence to have unicerted Charles King as president in the next election. Firestone and the American Government knew that: Mr. Hoover knew, that I had enough influence in Liberia to prevent Charles King being returned for a third time as President of the country, and so as to weaken my influence and make it impossible for me to prevent King being returned, so that he and his Senate could ratify the agreement, they upon petition called me for five years and kept me there for six months after Charles. King was re-elected. That is the kind of thing they do. The President of the United States of America and to the former counsel-general of my organization. I know Garvey has not done any wrong, but he was a bad business man". That President and it in his power not only to commute my sentence the very day I was sentenced, but to pardon me, yet he never did, anything until two years afterwards, when it was invenient from a political point of view and from a commercial point of view to let me go; and then they deported me without giving me a change of going back to my office in New York, where I represented the interests of 4,000,000 American citizens, involving millions of dollars. They called me a rogue and vagabound and did not allow me chance to go back to New York and straighten out the affairs of these people, although I asked to be allowed to do so, and the Secretary of Labor said, "No." Prevented New York Visit They commuted my sentence on the 24th of November. The executive authority said that my commutation release should be immediate, but they kept me until nearly the first day of the following month, without notifying me that I was commuted and although I should have gone away from prison at that time. The reason was that they were moving residence, during those few days as to how they could get me out of the country without my returning to New York. Therefore, I never knew the condition of my commutation until I was on the ship. Never Defrauded Anyone. So you will realize that being imprisoned in the United States of America is not like being imprisoned in THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1928 England, where you have mortality and principle and justice and law before you can take away the name of a man and deprive him of his character. Commententiously, I appeal to you Englishmen and Englishwomen who are here tonight not to come to any hasty conclusion touching my character; because I feel in coming before you that, before my God, I can match my character against the character of any man in the world. (Applause). I dare any man in the world to say that I have ever defrauded him of one penny—any man in the world—I dare any man to say that I have ever defrauded him of a penny in all my life. (Renewed applause). So that I trust, you will not make it a point of prejudice against me and against the organization I represent that I was sent to prison, because that is a minor and an insignificant matter in considering the grave question that we have before us for settlement. Insulting 280,000,000 People As I have said, I am here as the representative of 11,000,000 people. They naturally will look towards any treatment meted out to me as a similar treatment meted out to them. I trust you will not make the mistake of thinking that the Negro 'is so simple at this time ad to accept any insult without returning it. ("Hear! heart!") So that any _peebuff_ you give us touching the representation I made on behalf of the people will not only be an insult, to Marcus Garvey but an insult to 280,000,000 - Negroes whom I represent through the Universal Negro Improvement Association. No Longer Asleep We look upon your representatives as the ambassadors of your race. We want to treat with them as honorable men. All this vile propaganda, that you have read of within the last week is purely a misrepresentation of the statements I have made as touching the aims and objects of this organization. I gave clean and intelligent and above-board statements to the press; they have not published these statements, but they have published things to make me a buffoon, to make me look ridiculous before you, and to defeat the object of this meeting here tonight. I want you, therefore, to know that the Negro is no longer sleep. The intelligent representatives of the race are thinking; but we are intelligent enough, to know that you should not be judged and held accountable for the conduct of men who do not truly and thoroughly represent you. Nogro Must Have Justice We want to be the friends of the English people; we want to be the friends of the white races the world over; because neither the black race nor the white race nor the brown race nor the yellow race can achieve anything in the world lasting except through peaceful methods. We want peace. The Negro has always been on the side of peace. We are not a nice people. You know our history throughout the last 5,000 years. We have committed our humanity; we have committed our gratitude upon civilization; we have at our disposal, today no great armaments; we have no battleships; we have no navies; we have no standing armies; therefore you must conclude that we are a people who love peace. Our attitude and our acts prove consistently that we are not inclined to disturb the peace of the world. All we want is justice, and we are appealing to the hearts of you Englishment at home and abroad to listen to the plea of bleeding Africa. The Negro's Great Humanity I have recounted to you the history of slavery; I have recounted to you our present economic and social difficulties. In your respective countries you do not want us. We cannot go to Australia and get a living; we cannot go to Canada and get a living; we cannot come to England and get a living; you will not employ us. Nearly 10 percent of the blacks in England are unemployed because you are prejudiced against employing us. That is not fair. In our countries we treat you with consideration. In the colonies, where you send out your men both as an emigrans and as an colonial administrator, we treat them with the greatest courtesy. I have hurt to recall the treatment of Negroes in Africa towards Stanley and towards Livingstone to show our disposition towards strangers. You sent consumptive Livingstone to us; he lived in our midst; we fed him; when he was sick we gave him medicine; when he died and we could do nothing more for him, we took his dead body upon our shoulders and walked hundreds of miles through the forests of Africa and brought him remains to you, to the sea, whence you could remove them at your pleasure. Returning Evil for Good The consumptive Coell Rhodes went to Africa; we treated him with kindness and consideration. What is the result. They have made Rhodesia so that a black man cannot walk on the sidewalks of that country. That is not a fair return for all that we have done. We have had our hearts and our souls bare before you. We have always been willing to suffer and to help you in all circumstances. In need of DROPSY TREATED ONE WEEK FREE Short breathful relieved in 26 to 48 hours; swelling reduced in 15 to 20 days.

Angle-Americans, to listen to the plaintive cry of the black man who has been abused for nearly 300 years in the Western World. I understand that a great scare was laid around me as a deterent to holding this meeting here tonight. I want to say to you, that up-to-now, you do not understand the Negro. You cannot scare the Negro any more. (Hear, hear.) The Negro is a man. We represent the new Negro. His back is not yet to the wall; we do not want his back to the wall because that would be a peculiar position and a desperate position. We do not want him there. It is because of that we are asking you for a fair compromise. Where in Africa? Where in Africa? Now, you have sent your agents to me asking what part of Africa we want. It is for you to decide; it is for the British Government to decide; it is for the French Government to decide; it is for the governments of Belgium also, and of Portugal and Spain; all in conference with us, to decide what part of Africa they will place at the disposal of the natives, so that they can live in peace in their own native land. (Applause.) The Belgians have control of the Britain. Come which, they cannot use, they have not the resources to develop nor the intelligence. (Mean hear). The French have more territory than they can develop; the Italian have more territory than they can develop; you English also have more territory than you can develop. There are certain parts of Africa in which you cannot live at all; now it is for you to come together and give us a United States of Black Africa. (Applause). If you want South Africa, you can keep South Africa. (Laughter.) If you want East Africa we are reasonable even to say, "Have it." But we are going to have our part of Africa whether you will it or not. We are going to have it. (Applause.) Because we are not going to be a race without a country. Will Not Abuse God's Confidence God never intended it; and we are not going to abuse, God's confidence in his men. We are men, human beings, capable of the same act as any other race; possessing, under fair circumstances, the same intelligence as any other race. You do not know Africa. Africa has been sleeping for centuries—not dead, only sleeping. You have all read the story, or Rip Van Winkle, who got up and walked around. Today Africa is walking around, not only on its feet but on its brains. (Hear, hear!) You can enslave—as you did for 300 years, the bodies of men, you can shackle the hands of men, you can shackle the feet of men, you can imprison the bodies of men, but you cannot shackle or imprison the minds of men. (Applause.) No face has the last word on culture and on civilization. You do-not St. Joseph's Pure ASPIRIN 1-GRAIN TABLETS AS Pure AS MONEY CAN BUY The largest selling aspirin in the world for 10¢ you 25¢ know what the black man is capable of; you do not know what he is thinking. You are thinking in terms of battleships, of dreadnaughts, of submarines, of aeroplanes. Do you know what we are thinking about?—that is our private business. (Applause.) So give us credit for being able to use our minds; and with people becoming conscious of themselves, determined to use their minds, you do not know to what extent they can go. I believe the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men. And I am here tonight as a representative of the new Negro, the new Negro in finance, the new Negro in art, the new Negro in literature, the new Negro in music, the new Negro in eco- nomies, the new Negro in science. Gentlemen, do not you know that one of the ablest scientists of the world today, is a black man in the Tuskegee Institute of Alabama in the United States? Do you know what a scientist can do for the world? You had a little fellow over here the other day—I believe his name was Matthew—who had an idea that he had dis- (Continued on page 8) NOTICE For quite some time I have not heard from my brother, Milton Alleyne.

The Editor, Negro World: Sir.-My reports as follows, Los Angeles Division. No. 156, held its regular mass meeting on June 10th at the usual hour. Third Vice-president Mr. J. Ross called the meeting to order. The missionary chant was sung by the audience. The evening's lesson was taken from Romania, chap. 3. I-xxl Hymn No. I was sung by the choir. The lady vice-president Mrs. S. Swan gave a short address, after which she introduced the mistress of ceremony, Mrs. Ora Montis. The program opened with a song from the choir. The junior vice-president spoke to us for a short while. His subject was, "Women of Our Race," and the parables of the talents, which was well delivered. Mr. R. Fowles read the aims and objects. Miss W. Amongs rendered a piano solo; Mr. S. Morgain addressed us, his subject being U.N. L.A., which was well accepted by the audience. Mrs. S. Swan gave a reading entitled, "God Bless Our President" was then sung by all. Our workday lady, president addressed us to the works of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. She said as follows: "Now, we must do our best and wit out all foolishness." This is no play-time. Stop saying no, when you are asked to do something. If you are new Negroes and want to be called Garvey们, do something. Do you know where the Hon. Marcus Garvey is today, and what he is about to do for you? I know you must think of him, so give him your support. He desires us to think and work, so go ahead with what he wants us to do. He has not only awakened us, but he has enlightened the whole world. He is from God to do this work, and we know it and he shall not fall, by God's help. His our Moses; we must put all we can behind him and push him forward. We must make it now or never. The padrons have heard him; if they haven't, they soon will hear him in Europe. I thank you, and all for listening to my few remarks. (Cloud applaud.) The third vice-president then introduced Mr. H. Gordon to us for a few remarks, who in that introduced the speaker of the evening, Mr. M. Carrere. He had for his subject, "We Are at the Crossroad Now." He spoke as follows: "Friends, I am proud to be with you this afternoon to say a few words hoping it will do some good. My subject will be, 'Where We Are At.' It is the crossroad. We will have to go forward for the better or turn back and be wiped out, one way or the other. Destiny of a pace here in the mirror. The thing that intersects most in working conditions, so we may procure, that which is most necessary for life. We are on the great road to death. We must decide now. The ability of mankind is to do and say begin to act now, to produce and merchandise, and when we do that we will be safe, or otherwise on the road of life. We must master this and use it to our advantage, that's the fundamental part of life. We get out of life what we put into life. As long as we are servants of producers, we should not be inspired we are not recognized. Why are we here? Its for a purpose. We are not less than any other race, and we should not think we are the least. For two hundred and fifty years or more we contributed to other races, and we have done we but little good, so we must contribute to ourselves now. We are only wasting time and using people's money when we call ourselves going to the law for equal rights, for its ineffective. It does no good. Why not rise as one man. White people have run us together by shuttling us off in many ways; we see it, we feel it, we hear it, and for God's sake we ought to cooperate and move our business. Pressure makes anything move, but it has not moved the Negroes, and its because we follow poor leadership. We are at the crossroads now, and its time to strike from foolishness. They use us when they can't do better. Economic weakness is our trouble, and we will never be respected until we remedy this condition. As long as we are contented with the crumbs from the whiff man's table he will never treat us with humanity. Yet, after all, he is merciful to us, for he knows we are a bunch of babies and leading a life of waste. The white man is going to, be glad when we take our burden off his shoulders. He's tired now and don't want to be bothered with us. The time is now ripening. Marcus Garvey is right on time, follow him (Loud applause). He is not paying any attention to segregation. He is for a free and redeemed people and their homeland (Loud applause). Its time to think black and stop so much white thinking. Unless we break this chain that divides us and think right, stop containing so much and produce some it will be too bad for us, and die we must. I thank you one and all for your patience in listening. (Applause.) Mr. W. Wadell and Mr. W. M. Morgan lifted the offering while the choir gave their services. Mrs. S. Ryan read the front page of The Negro World and a telegram from the parent body. Meeting then adjourned religiously. Prayer by our chaplain. MRS. FLORENCE SIMPSON Reporter. HAVANA, CUBA On May 6 the Hiyana Division held its usual Garvey Day meeting, which was called to order by the chaplain. The hymn "From Greenland's Ice Mountains" was sung, followed by the prayer and Scripture lesson. After the chaplain's address, the acting president, Mr. C. Collins, was introduced, and he conducted this program for the evening. He gave a very stirring address, and stated in brief the obligation of keeping up the Garvey Day meetings. The program was as follows: Address by Mr. A. Medford, who appeared to the audience for unify. Nexx was an address by a Cuban visitor, Senior Albian Azune, a great Inventor, who pledged to do all he can in helping this cause. Then a piano solo was rendered by one of our favorite Cuban ladies, the wife of our interpreter, Senora Gallino, who, in her gentle and calm way, kept the audience spellbound during her performance. The reading of the President General's telegram from Liverpool by Mr. Gallino, which was well applauded; recitation by Miss Ruth Walker, entitled "Garvey," solo by Miss Emma Santanaria Domino; Hymn No. 66 from the rite-of-address by the lady-president, Miss Hilla Walte; address by Mrs. Hannah Sylvester; address by Mr. C. Granange; address by Senior Rogelle Gallino, who spoke in English and Spanish. Finally the executive secretary, Mr. S. E. Johnson, made a special appeal to the audience for help, showing the reason why all young men should join the ranks of the U. N. I. A. I am pleased to announce that in spite of the conditions existing, in this city, we are still on the job, and in spite of the tightening of the screw of our oppressors, the U. N. I. A. is making more progress. Those who did not believe in the warning of the Hon. Marcus Garvey are forced to organize themselves, seeing that the race is on the road to destruction and the only way to save it is to get together. By so doing we are getting in quite a number of Cuban brothers. During the month of March we enrolled 14 new members, and they are coming in every week, and are doing very good work in the Division. In a short time they will be founding a chapter in this city. Death of President It is with regret that I announce the death of our president, Mr. J. Musgrave Brown, who died on the 4th of April after a days' illness. He had served this Havana, Division No. 23 as president for two terms and a half, and was a faithful worker for over six years. We will miss him from among us and mourn his loss. He was given one of the most impressive official burials ever held in this city, and will long be remembered. Special praise must be given to the few loyal and good-hearted workers who keep to their pledges and caths by standing firm to the principles of the U. N. L. A. In spite of all the obstacles that beset their wars and the quarrelling and blundering, The doors of Liberty Hall are open, and cannot be closed. We here are determined to hold on to the line until more and more help comes. Let me beg that all faithful workers of the U. N. L. A. keep on in the same spirit of love and unity as you are doing so that our leader who is pleading for us will be more encouraged to go on and on. The darkest part of the night is just before the break of day. STEPHEN E. JOHNSON. Reporter. The members and friends of the Brooklyn Division, were greatly inspired by the stirring address delivered by Mr. Ira L. Gibbons, a prominent member of the Brooklyn Research Society and a sincerer worker of the division, on Sunday afternoon, June 10, at 350 Cumberland Street. After the opening of the meeting the chairman made a few remarks on the passing of the great character, T. Thomas Fortune, mentioning briefly the great and noble work which he performed for his race in America and particularly in New York. A large and appreciative audience turned right to hear the long expected address of Mr. Gibbons, who spoke on "Doing Without." A reading taken Emerson's "Essay On Compensation" prefaced the address of the afternoon. In a philosophical way Mr. Gibbons was able to convince his hearers that very much of what any man is able to do often depends upon what he is able to do without. "Endless are the rejections we must make." Mr. Gibbons stated, "in order to dwell with beauty we must renounce our vulgar tastes or any contentment with things usly. We must learn to do without it in order to see more clearly the possibility of true nationhood. On Sunday afternoon, June 17, Mr. Thorpe delivered a brilliant address on Improving the Understanding." On June 24 Mr. Philip Barrow will speak on "Garveyism." The Sunday following, which will be, June 1, will be Women's Day, and Mrs. M. Doyley, the lady president, has assured everyone of a wonderful afternoon. LIONEL RICHARDSON, Reporter.

Personal Representative of the President General. New York City, June 25, 1928. BANES, CUBA The Banae Division celebrated its eighth anniversary on Sunday, June 3, at 7:30 p.m. There was a fine turnout of the uniformed units. The processional hymn, "Shine On, Eternal Light," brought into the hall a beautiful procession of the units, all in full dress, and the officers of the division. After the singing of the opening hymn the acting chaplain, Mr. R. Blake, carried through the ritual service, concluding with the hymn, "Thy Hand, O God. Has Guided." The Scripture lesson was taken from Exodus, Chapter 3. The chaplain in a few well chosen words likened the call of Garvey to that of Moses, declaring that Garvey was nothing less than an instrument, in the hands of God. The special speakers for the evening were Mrs. J. Francis and Mr. D. Solomon. Mr. J. Francis spoke for about twenty minutes on the subject of active cooperation. "Where there is a will there is a way," she declared. "Active cooperation spells unity. Continue to labor for the future as you have done in the past eight years." Failures are stepping stones to success and glory." She took her seat amidst thunderous applause. Mr. G. C. Douglas, executive secretary, next gave a, masterly address. He gave a synopsis of the working of the division since 1920, when it was organized, entreating all to continue. Mr. D. Solomon spoke next on the subject, "The World as I See It." During the course of his address he appealed to the audience for funds to help Mr. Garvey on his tour in Europe to which a very good response was made. Every member at this time should make it a duty, he said, to contribute something to this fund to finance our leader, who is putting our clause to the nations of Europe in no unmistakable terms. Garvey is the divine twentheth century gift to the world. Mr. Samuel W. Monroe, President of the division, was the last speaker and urged the members to unite themselves as never before and so make the seeming impossible possible. The program was as follows: Introduction of chairman by Graham; next verse of National Anthem; short address by President; recitation by Miss Clarice Collins; recitation by Master Percival McKey; recitation by Master Warren Satchchell; address by Mrs. J. Francis; organ recital by Master Ferdie Wright; recitation by Master William Clarke; solo by Mrs. Hildred Bambury; address by Mr. G. C. Hammond; solo by Mr. S. U. Hibbitt; recitation by Miss Catherine Satchchell; anthem by choir; solo by Miss S. Lawrence; address by Mr. A. T. McLanty; solo by Mrs. H. Trout; recitation by Mrs. Noel Lawrence; address by Mr. D. Soloron; National Anthem and benediction.

Dicha reunión obtuvo un éxito completo, apesar de la propaganda de la prensa local con el objeto de hacer fracasar nuestros propósitos. Preparados de antemano y con la determinación que nos caracteriza, túvimos la fortuna de reunir en dicho local un selecto grupo de blancos de conciencia. Entre ellos se contaban miembros del parlamento inglés, publicistas y elementos de todas las esferas sociales. Cuarenta periodistas ocuparon las mesas reservadas para la prensa y las noticias de nuestros esfuerzos por el reajuste en la condición actual de nuestra raza, fueron trasmitidas a los cuatro puntos del globo. Ello fue realmente un triunfo para la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra en Europa. Ya hemos sido visitados por varios hombres prominentes, prometiendo su cooperación en lo que al status autonómico del hombre negro en Africa concierne. El éxito de nuestro primer paso en este lado del Atlántico es tan alentador, que nos fortifica para continuar la árdua marcha emprendida. Estamos en la certeza de que la verdadera fundación ha sido colocada en base solida y la labor de nuestra organización, por consiguiente, va con paso firme por el recto sendero hacia su éxito. Estas realizaciones redundarán en nueva savia de determinación para todo hombre y mujer negra en todas partes, pues el verdadero programa de nuestro redención universal-ha sido concientemente delineado para evadir todo obstáculo que se presente. Preparamos cierta documentación legal la cual será presentada ante los diferentes gobierno de Europa, respaldada por la opinión pública en nuestro favor que estamos acquiriendo en estos lares al presente. Docenas de meetings se llevarán a cabo en distintas secciones de Inglaterra; así como también en Escocia, Irlanda, Francia, Suiza, Alemania y Bélgica. Hacia tal fin apelamos a la cooperación unánime de todos y cada uno de los miembros de la raza, de manera que no se escuche una sola voz que disienta en la gran defensa de nuestros derechos como humanos. Contamos ya con la espléndida cooperación de todos los ramos de la raza negra domiciliados en Europa. Nuestra peregrinación por este continente adadirá una página de gloria en la historia de nuestro movimiento emancipador. De ella ha de dimanar un programa que incite la cooperación de nuestro elemento universalmente, el cual será sancionado en la próxima convención internacional de nuestra organización. Deseo por este medio expresar mi gratitud a todas las divisiones, miembros y amigos de la organización, por la contribución hecha con el objeto de que la labor en Europa sea un éxito. Como todos sabemos se necesita gran cantidad de financia para llevar a cabo nuestros propósitos aquí. En el meeting del Royal Albert Hall se invirtieron varios cientos de pesos, pero fue dinero bien invertido por los resultados que de ello hemos obtendio. Como ya dije en mi mensaje anterior, todos aquellos que deseen comunicarse conmigo durante mi estancia en Europa, pueden hacerlo dirigiendo su correspondencia al número 57 Castletown Road, West Kensington, W. 14, London, England. Arraiguémonos, por consiguiente, a la gran causa de nuestra organización. Unamos nuestros brazos y nuestros corazones y hagamos un esfuerzo determinado para poder experimentar el éxito de una causa generosa y justa.

"100 WAYS TO GET RICH" El gobierno español ha decidido illevar a cabo mejoras importantes en sus territorios en el golfo de la Guinea, entre las que figura el dar una carta de emancipación a los indígenas. En esta carta se conignan las condiciones necesarias para que los naturales de la Guinea Espaolaí pueden emanciparse de la tutela que España ejerce sobre ellos, entrando en pleno uso de sus derechos civiles. Esto será obtenido por el indigena cuando venga cierto grado de instrucción y observe buena conducta. Seguidamente, después de aprobar esto, la junta examinó un proyecto de estatuto de patronato a los indigenas. Este nuevo organismo se refiere a las condiciones de vida de los naturales, su bienestar, defensa, etc. y en suma cuanto pueda redundar en su beneficio. Por ultinio, la junta acorde aprobar un proyector de ordenación de funciones notariales en la colonia. Ahora hay sólo un nbterio en la Guinea española y poresta ofenación pueden ser facultadas determinadas personas que posean las condiciones que se señalan en el proyector, para ejeer la fe publica en lugares apartados de aquel donde radica el otario oficial Es interesante que, mientras en Puerto Rico se lucha con creciente entusiasmo por el derecho a obtener un gobernador native, en el Canadá cobre impulso extraordinario semejante aspiración de los naturales del Dominio. Los argumentos tienen identico origen en ambos, países: Pero en el caso de Puerto, Rico adquieren mayor proyección, ya que si Inglaterra ha sido la Metropoli siempre, la bella Isla antillana vive bajo la soberania de Washington haço sólo trienta años. Por otra parte, y es solo justo consignarlo, los mismos argumentos en contra de la aspiración al gobernador nativo canadiense, se martienen contra el que solicitan los obtuérriquenos. Mas si estos obtuieran el derecho a nombrarlo, hay cierta garantía de que nunca fuera —como se teme en el Canada— instrumento de los antagonismos raciales, pues, para los fines de una elección de sentido nacionalista, en Puertorico no hay ni puede haber sing nacionalistas de raza hispana —que son los que aspiirán a verse gobernados poe un compatriota. Que este, resultara —según se sugiere ocurrira en Canada—parcial a los elementos de su partido, ya es una probabilidad de cierto peso en Puerto Rico. Debe partirse de la base, a fuer de imparciales, de que el gobernador nativo de Puerto Rico, unionista, republicano o socialista de origen, a menos de poser dotes de superhumana ponderación, trataría de favorcer a sus amigos y entre ellos, al menos con preferencia, distribución los dos más aptecibles del frondoso árbol administrativo. Mas ¿qué otra cosa acontene en washington, por ejemplo? ¿Que otro precedente se observa en la republica todas de sistema, repres- sentativo puro? Y en Puerto Rico, frente a tal limitación o peligro, ademas, existiría siempre—a menos de acceptar como posible la indep- pendencia absoluta—el freno o restricción de Washington. Mientras la actual realidad política de Puerto Rico exista, en suma, sea cual sea el método para designar gobernador, a. Casa Blanca tendrá un poder absoluto de control. Y en tal caso ¿donde está el peligro? Los problemas nacionalistas, en sufase administrativa sobre todo, van asimilando rápidamente el caso de Puerto Rico, con el del Canadá, con el de Filipinas. Pero, dehecho, Puerto Rico tiene una personalidad absolutamente propia, de distintivas únicas y, de acuerdo a ellas, debe resolverse su problema. So hará, no se hará? Mientras ello se decide, no dejá de ser oportuno — y haasta obligado— conagrast un recterdo de repeto y de encerro buen deseo al emisista, ahogado y talentoso leader puertorriquio que dirige el pátio del defensor de los derechos de su pueblo ahora.

Y. El secretario de Estado anuncio que habia enviado invitaciones a todas las republicas hispanoamericanas para que tomaran parte en la conferencia de conciliación y arbitraje que se va a celebrar en Washington el próximo 12 de octubre. El secretario y el Sr. Charles Evans Hughes represente a los Estados Unidos. La convocatoria de la conferencia se decidió en la la quinta conferencia panamericana reunida en la Habana. El congreso ha erogado sensenta mil pesos, que se emplean en los gastos de la conferencia, que se propone que todos los paises participantes negocian tratados de conciencia, arbitrata similares a los firmados recientemente entre los Estados Unidos y varios países europeos. La delegación norteamericana en el congreso de la Habana en enero, anunción que los Estados Unidos, no se opondrian a la conclusion de un tartado multilateral de arbitraje entre todas las republicas del nuevo mundo, pero se tenia entendido que tal-tratado debia ser de carácter práctico y contener las ordinarias solvedades, tanto respecto de las cuestiones que se sometieron al arbitraje como con respeto al derecho del senado a especificar la forma exacta en que el problema debiera ser sometido al arbitraje. Tienen entendido que el departamento de Estado es de opinion que la situación general en el hemisferio occidental, es particularmente propicia a la solución pacifica de las disputas internacionales. Creese que los países del nuevo mundo, al contrario de los europeos, no vive en la continua, aprehension de guerra, ni existe la division del balancé de potencias en este hemisferio que mantiene a Europa en un tumulo.politico. Recomienda mayor restrici- La promulgación de leyes necesarias con objeto de imponer más restricciones a la entrada de inseñarios e indesables: extranjeres procedentes de los, territorios que hindan on este pais y que están desplazando los trabajadores americanos, fué recomendado por H. E. Hull, comisionado de Emigración del Departamento de Labor, en un discurso que pronunció en Baltimore sobre problemas de emigración. El comisionado Hull declaró que el personal de emigración debería ser duplicado con objeto de examinar y vigilar los puertos acresos que estan construyendo al presente en el país. Deberia de haber patrullas de vigilantes en todos los puertos para registrar los vapores en los cuales se internan de contrabando personas de otros países que no tienen derecho a entrar. Empleados de deberían ser estacionados en los puertos con objeto de llevar nota de los visitantes y ver que empendan viajan pronto expiran sus pasaportes. Gran número de extranjeros estan en este país que vinieron como visitantes, temporales, y al presente estan trabajando y quitando el puesto a los americanos. El comisionado manifestó que habia entrada annual de 164.000 extranjeros procedentes de Europa y un número ilimitado de los países que no tienen cuota. La inmigración permanente en el año pasado dijo que fue 304.488 y el aumento de población después de haber restado las salidas se considera en 268.351, un aumento de 35.000 sobre el pasado ao. También dijo que cada año acquirir la cuidadania 150.000 extranjeros. Estas cifras, dijo, son significantes, porque prueban que a pesar de la restricta y selectiva inmigración, los extranjeros tratan de venir a América y que un gran número de ellos adquieren la cuidadania americana: Esta es una de las cosas que más influyen al formar la cuidadania en este país. Dijo además que la emigración restricita favorece a concentra y dos millones de personas que estaban a la prosperidad americana, producción y riqueza; estas tienen derecho a recoger en primer término los beneficios de la trabajo sin estar amenableados por quienes no están calificados por los fundamentos de la ciudadania. Estas personas son consumidoras de los productos de su mía labor. Son la mayor garantía para los negocios americanos, recibiendo salarios y crean un mercado para los productos del país. Obligarios a competir con trabajadores americanos que no provienen de países prosperos, aería un crimen frágido con propósitos茎ienstiem. Restringiéndose la emigración continuará la prosperidad americana. Las leyes del país tienen algunos defactos, en resumen, que las que el país necesita. Hopes Caulimilators, Will Repent I agree, with Brother, Gavry and his movement. (Applause). I am not ashamed of saying this, and I hope that those who are engaged in this campaign of misrepresentation and calumny will repent of their misdeeds, change their conduct, and represent truly and more fully the sympathetic attitude of the English people and the desire not merely to do justice to these black people, but to help them on the onward march. That is what they are out for; they are going forward; they are going upwards in spite of every obstacle and every hindrance. I believe that these men and these women have got within them a divine urge a divine instinct, which is moving them forward in the right direction. They are making no attack upon us; they are not attacking any nationality or any particular interest; they are simply asserting themselves as human beings who love their country from which they have been driven; and it is for you and me, so far as we can, to help them to regain that from which they ought never to have been disposed. Of years millions of natives from the Niger region and elsewhere were shipped off to America under human conditions to work as slaves that we might be enriched and that we might prosper. The time has come when the fact ought to be acknowledged and when we should in some way recompose those, people by giving them the liberty that their hearts are set upon. If Trouble is To Be Avoided I quite feel with Preston Gray that it will be necessary if trouble is to be avoided, if there is to be no great clash between black and white, that their case, having been fairly and fully stated, should be properly considered, and dealt with by our politicians, or perhaps I ought to say our statesmen, and especially those who have international interests; and I am not without hope that through their "For several years I was denied the blessings of Burton and Kennewick City, "I was terribly harried and subject to periods of terrible turmoil.

Liberia's Relief Discrimit to Race The fact that when those immigrants arrived they were allowed to land and that almost immediately afterward, when their property had been seized and confiscated, they were driven back to America—the fact that that was the management of affairs in Liberia are a discredit to their race and not fitted at all to be the pioneers in the movement of Africa for the Africans. (Applause.) What Possible Objection? Well, I cannot dwell any longer upon that. I merely appeal to you, in the third place, to extend your sympathy in some practical form to the great movement that is so ably represented by Dr. Garvey. It is not for me to suggest ways and means, but I earnestly hope that whilst we tender to him our appreciation and express our sympathy with his objects and aims, that there may be at least some at this meeting who will stand up for them and help them so far as possible to carry out their objects. What possible objection can there be to a large proportion of America and in the black fields, where we have self visited and come into contact with them—what possible objection can there be to those persons, if they desire it, being returned to their own native land, with every opportunity of consolidating themselves and of proving to the world, as the people in Liberia have not proved, that they will develop their own resources, that they will aim at a high form of civilization and culture. Terrible Conditions in Liberia Why, when those folk went over to Africa, they will correct me if I am wrong in this—the idea was not merely to find a home there where they would enjoy liberty in a larger measure than in America, but the idea was that they wore going out there to elevate the native; they were going out there to demonstrate to their friends in America that the black man can help the black man. But what has happened? It is no exaggeration to say, if I may use a phrase we often employ, in Lancashire, where I was brought up—they have been left to stow in their own juice. They have not elevated them; they are exploited them; and the conditions in which they were brought up indistinguishable from the worst possible form (Heart Heart!) it seems to me that before very long there must be a great change. I should be delighted if that might be superceded with some such organization an that which has been represented to us on evening. That may be out of the range of practical politics, but, anyway, I am quite satisfied that the way, with land sufficient to meet the requirements of millions of black people in America and elsewhere can easily be found by the action of the united nations and the League of Nations. Africans Equi to Development Task Africa is a great continent; it is almost bewildering when you get there because of the vastness of the landscape veld; it is almost bewildering to try to realise the millions upon millions of acres which have never been touched with the spade, and the extensive territories that have never been developed to any extent. There are three nations that are mandated or whatsoever, but whether it is the Germans or the Italians or whoever it may be, they are not equal to that task.

We have just moved our term and I want to let the world know that the university at Claremont, Va., is the greatest school in the world today for the educating of Negroes. I am proud to say that I was a student at the university last term and will be back again if mother and father live.

There is probably a feeling existing—there are probably ideas in your minds based upon a misunderstanding of this great problem confronting your nation. We feel that a greater degree of harmony should exist between the black people and the white people of the world. (Hear, hear.) Better for All We know that that there are thousands and thousands—yes, millions—of white people in the Western world, who do not realize that the black people, and the countries they inhabit, constitute the economic backbone of these nations. We feel that if the Negroes of Africa, if the Negroes of the West, Indies, and if the Negroes of South and Central America can work day in and day out year in and year out, producing wealth, giving their labor for the sustenance of the great British Empire, and of the United States of America, and of the United States of Europe, that there ought to be a better spirit, existing between these nations and these peoples.

Marcus Garvey To the Editor of the Negro World: Please permit me space in your valuable paper to express to the world my feelings toward the Hon. Marus Garvey, the man who has made a new life for Negroes everywhere, As a Negro, I feel that it is my duty to cling to him, who bore the shots, who suffered imprisonment, just for my life, and watch him a while, as I watched the others on their battle fronts? We have no need to wait; nor stop to think, for not I alone, but all who are Negroes have seen that his everyday words are coming to pass. Some may not declare him our matchless leader, some may not call him the God sent one, but like the people of old, in the time of Noah, who ran to the hills, rocks and mountains, when the waters washed the earth, in like manner shall the unbelievers run to this, his progeny, and the people of the world.

The Universal Negro Improvement Association has at its head a man who is thoroughly familiar with the part that the Negro player, with the part that great Britains play, among their two great civilizations. For this years he has been directing this great organization, and he has directed it in such a way as to win the entire confidence of the Negroes of America, the West Indies and Africa (Applause). We are solidly behind him; he has nothing to do but to go on according to the dictates of his own conscience. We support him in every way.

Are you going to force us to a corner where we have to think, and think evil? I trust you will not do that. If God's sake do not force 200 million black men to think evil, because probably a unit of that great number may think so dangerously as to be a manace to the world; by the time it gets up with him he will have gone away with the world. Do not force us to think that way. Give us a chance to live in ease and comfort, so that a chance would bring those hidden powers which made us a Newton, which gave us a Darwin and a Huxley. We are capable of giving such man to the world if we are forced into a corner to think. But, as I have said, before, we are a peace loving people. We love humanity; we love your race-not for social fellowship but in the common brotherhood that God intended we should live. We love the white race because we believe the white race has a right to peace and happiness, and all those things conductive to a happy life. We believe the yellow man has such claims and we are not going to deny ourselves the privilege. Pure Black Race I thank you for coming out here tonight, and I compliment you upon the independence of spirit which has forced you to come to this meeting, because you could have adopted the attitude of other Englishmen who are, not here tonight, under the persuasion of the propaganda to destroy me, holding me up in the way that you have read of—the fact that you have come here shows that you are in search of information. I would not for one minute accuse all Englishmen of dishonor; I would not for one-minute accuse all the white American people, of dishonor.

LUCK BLACKCAT WISHING RING I recognise one of them in the audience here, a man who has stuck by me all through because he believed that we were right; he represents one wing of his race, the platy side of his race, and he has been struggling for that upheaval that heigner him and upheld that heigner want in see a pure white race, and we are going to work so that we are going to have a pure black race. Circumatances sometimes create conditions over which we have no control. Men who are thrown into foreign places and people do not domicile naturally do not cause they are right but because they are convenient. Those are the side shows and incidents we will not discuss, but the wider issue reveals the fact that we respect the white race remaining as if it, and we also demand that you allow the black race to remain as it is. (Aplause.) In the Colonies you have tasted us unfairly; you went to Africa and you have given us there a mongrel population; in America ala you have given us a mongrel population—nearly 4,000,000 people—and so we are aggrieved socially. But we art not going to press this grievance; we are only going to ask you to give us a fair chance, a fair opportunity to express ourselves in terms of reason.
