SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION ON LABEL, EDITOR SEND ORDERS TO MRS. AMELIA SAYERA, BOX 22, STATION L, NEW YORK CITY Fellow-Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: It was Horatio Nelson at the great crisis at the battle of Trafalgar who said by way of inspiration to his men: "This day England expects every man to do his duty." May I not repeat the historic words in stating that today Africa expects every black man to do his duty? Yes, it is necessary for every black man, woman and child the world over to now make up his and her mind to do their everlasting and eternal duty to Mother Africa. Seeing Europe As It Is As I go about Europe seeing, coming in contact with and experiencing the things that are happening, I cannot but conclude that the black man is now at the danger period of his existence. Everywhere it seems that subtle and underhand methods have been adopted to persuade him into a state of watchful waiting and oblivious insecurity, the object being ultimately to deprive him not only of his manhood but to deny him a place in the affairs of men. Throttled Africa Europe has almost throttled Africa, seemingly bent on denying her the least of her rights and privileges, but the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is about to force a change, and it is only by the united determination of the world of blacks behind the organization can we bring Europe to a sensible realization of the fact that Africa must not be deprived of her native rights and privileges to which her sons and daughters are entitled as heirs. A Great Awakening Our presence in Europe at this time is creating a great awakening, and we are taking advantage of the fact to see to it that all those concerned are sufficiently enlightened to the realization of the truth that Africa must be redeemed for the black people of the world. We have already touched the hearts and consciences of men who think about Africa in terms of fairness, when heretofore they thought of Africa only as a pawn in the hands of governments and as a sphere of exploitation. The holding of the meeting at the Royal Albert Hall has brought about wonderful results. It is true that the metropolitan press of London endeavored to smother the meeting and to prevent its success, but to all appearances there has been a boomerang, and that boomerang is working out splendidly to the advantage of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the black people of the world. Royal Albert Hall Meeting Has Been Very Fruitful of Results—Many Friends Made for Cause in Spite of Venal and Corrupt White Press EUROPEAN ENLIGHTENMENT PROGRAMME IS CAUSING A GREAT AWAKENING Continuous Work and Unfailing Co-operation Demanded of Every Member—"Africa Expects Every Black Man to Do His Duty"—Final Victory Is Assured—Money and Moral Support the Prime Requisite people of Europe will be lightened and be made pleasant if the Negroes throughout the world will co-operatively rally in sentiment and in truth behind the principles of the U. N. I. A., which I am endeavoring to represent. We must present to the world a united front. It is encouraging to see that Africa at home is rallying splendidly, morally and otherwise, to the call we have sent out to impress Europe with the fact that we are in earnest. The great American, Divisions and the Divisions of South and Central America and the West Indies have also rallied to the call, so that I feel satisfied that the urge toward Africa's freedom is not sectional but universal. We must not only work for a day or a week or a month, but we must keep at it until victory is perched upon the banners of the Red, the Black and the Green. Venal and Corrupt White Press Much has been done by the venal and corrupt white press to misrepresent us, but when it is considered that the press of today is controlled by unscrupulous and unprincipled capitalists who make their living out of the exploitation of the weaker and darker peoples of the world, you will not be surprised that we have been held up to ridicule. But truth cannot be crushed; it is eternal and will rise again. This being true, we feel safe to continue and to go forward with our programme of righteousness. With all that the press has done they are wondering in surprise how it is that we are succeeding. It is because we are able to convince the public of the falsity of the press and the righteousness of our cause. The London press, working meeting, but today we are reaping the results of the holding of that meeting, for the friends we made are willing to do any and everything to help the cause Afric. As we were able to carve our way in America to victory out of the opposition of the metropolitan press, so shall we do in Europe, and already we have started toward success in that direction. From indications I can see nothing else but a glorious success for the work of our organization in Europe. We have already won for ourselves a prestige that is very valuable to the future work of the organization. Everybody knows what we are endeavoring to accomplish, and everybody with an honest heart and clean mind is willing to co-operate with us and help us to put the program over. Every Black Man and Woman Should Rally I am encouraging every black man and woman to continue to rally to the Red, Black and Green. Now is the time for us to stand together and rally like one giant to pull and put over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let the cry of "Africa for the Africans at Home and Abroad" ring out clear and strong in every corner of the world. Let no propaganda turn you from this cause of righteousness, but press on nobly and strong, for in truth victory is in sight. All Should Write During my stay in Europe I shall be pleased to hear from all members and friends who desire to help in the crusade we are pushing forward. Money and moral support are necessary at this time. The cost for pushing the propaganda is tremendous, but, personally, I am willing to assume the responsibility and go ahead, because I know it will bring great reward to the race and organization. Write to me for the next four months to the U. N. I. A. Headquarters, 57. Castletown Road, West Kensington, London, England, W. 14. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, NATIONAL CONGRESS OF W. AFRICA MUST WIN SUPPORT OF THE MASSES Movement to Unite All Africans on the West Coast of Africa Applauded by an African Leader—Suggerits "The Union of Hearts, the Union of Hands" as Mette Groot Possibilities One cannot help being exceedingly grateful for the opportunity afforded him to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest the bunch of Resolutions unanimously passed during the recent session of the British West African Conference at Headquarters, now officially known as the National Congress of British West Africa. We have read them three time, "over in seriatum," and more than that in parts with the deepest interest imaginable. We deyouthly bless the day this grand omnife idea of a National Congress was conceived and shaped with the view of promulgating and fostering the organic Union of all Africans on the West Coast of Africa. sand' charms of freedom which slaves, however petted, pampered and prosperous, can never know. (To be continued) We recall in this connection the watchword which gave the great Republic of America her place and station—"United we, stand-Divided we fall" and if we may be permitted to suggest a motto—"The Union of Hearts—The Union of Harths" would suit this progressive movement most admirably. There is no gallaying the fact that the project, if carried through to its logical issues and in all its ramifications, shall, at no distant date, accelerate the moral, social, intellectual, political, economic and—may we reverently add—spiritual liberation of our race and nation, whatever may be the peculiar views, ancient prejudices and solish motives of the whole hierarchy of Troglodytes, Machlavlidana, Chauvinists and obscurantists inhabiting in and surrounding upon the land. There is indeed nothing to warrant any doubt or suspicion, worry or anxiety or fear as to the near approach of the Day of Advance. The light shineth and at long last our decadent country shall be compelled to comprehend it and be benefited by its life-giving effulgence. Sincere congratulations, and hearty good wishes are justly due to the astute promoters of the movement from all enlightened sons and daughters of the soil for maintaining in their integrity the high and glorious traditions of our illustrious predecessors, and we fervently pray that they may be gilded to carry on for the welfare of the race and the permanent good of our beloved fatherland. The Arguedeyed originators of this epoch-making organization did more than they thought and knew when they faced forth to attack the hydra-headed monster—the colossal Terrorism and political inattention obtaining and provoking throughout West Africa. We do hereby admire their powers of endurance their Spartan fortitude and their indomitable pluck. We would strongly recommend to local committees from the frontier to the Nile valley in the hinterland the adversity and necessity of taking the guesses into their confidence, and by interpreting to the people generally the specific object, aims and policy of the Congress, as foreshadowed in the resolutions in question, insure universal co-operation until all strangles, opportunists, possumists, traitors, parasites and Althorphe are given the chance of rallying round or else be severely let alone an political suicides and social lepers. The authorities everywhere should make it a point to educate public opinion on these matters, thereby creating a situation which shall command to all, great and small, whatever has been done and may be done by the National Congress at home and ahead for British, West Afren and for generations to come. The members of the Executive Committee now in London have our best wishes for phenomenal success in all their undertakings.

ROCKEFELLER GIFT TO HELP HARLEM'S NEEDY CHILDREN Grant of $72,000 Made to Help Correct Juvenile Delinquency and Ill-Health — Economic Stress Hits Negro Children Six Times as Much as White An the result of a grant of $72,000 from John D. Rockefeller, Jr., first steps will be taken immediately toward a program to correct the conditions contributing to the high degree of juvenile delinquency and ill-health in Harlem and the Columbus Hill district. It is announced today (June 25) by William Hodson, executive director of the Vulture Council. Mr. Rockefeller's gift will be used in two projects; the establishment of a children's recreation center and a commercial cafeteria in the Utopia Children's House to provide hot lunches for the children of this community, where a large proportion of the mothers are employed away from home throughout the day, and the establishment of a community center for the Columbus Hill District in the Henrietta School Building of the Children's Aid Society at 224 West Sand Street. The projects will be administered by the Children's Aid Society, with the assistance of an advisory committee from the Harlem and Columbus Hill communities. The center in each case will be under the direction of a Negro. The plans for these projects and the grant from Mr. Rockefeller are the direct outgrowth of the study of "Delinquent and Neglected Negro Children in New York City" conducted last fall by a joint committee representing some thirty social agencies; in co-operation with the Urban League and the Women's City Club. This study revealed that the number of mothers forced to abandon home duties for outside work is four to five times as great among Negroes as among the white population; that the proportion of delinquent and neglected children is four to six times as great among Negroes as among the white population, and that the family life of the Negro was being broiled up by overcrowding, rent exploitation and the lack of non-commercial recreational facilities. "The Welfare Council accordingly appolished a committee of representatives from the many organizations seeking relief for Harlem and the Columbia Hill district. This committee, after further study, decided that the provision of recreation and hot lunches for the children were the most urgent of the many needs for social service among the colored population, and so drafted the plans upon which Mr. Rockefeller's gift toward the budgets of both projects for four years was made." The communication from Mr. Rockefeller's office to the Welfare Council notifying it of the grant says: "This decision has been reached because of the measure of co-operation which has been worked out by the Welfare Council, the Childrens Aid Society and other agencies, as well as representatives of the neighborhood." Concerning the situation in the Columbia Hill district, the Welfare Council's committee reported: "Approximately sixty per cent of the total population is colored, many of whom come from the West Indies, Five Negroes Lynched To End of June, 1928 --- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 7; 1928 IMPORTANT! Hon. Marcus Garvey's London Address Agents should immediately send in their orders for any additional copies of that issue they may require. WASHINGTON, D.C.—Dr. Rachel E. Hill of Monrovia, Liberia, Africa, who was recently granted the degree of doctor of dental surgery by Howard University, won the distinction of being the first native African woman to enter the field of dentistry. Dr. Hill was born of Christian parents. Both her mother and father were educated in England. Her father owns much property in Monrovia, Liberia, and in the hinterland. The American Legation at Monrovia, Liberia, has been quartered for many years in a building owned by her father. He also owns coffee plantations up the Saint Paul Rlyer, a few miles from Monrovia. Her mother is a native of Anhydria. After completing her elementary schooling in Monrovia, Dr. Hill attended high school in London for three years, coming to America seven years ago. After one year she was graduated from the Washington Irving High School in New York City. Her next year she spent in New York University, Washington Square, New York City, and her third year in America was spent in the Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg, Virginia. She entered Howard University, College of Dentistry, in the Fall of 1924. Dr. Hill was elected a member of the Rho Pai Phil Sorority and served as treasurer. She was recently elected to the Zeta, Pai Beta Sorority. Gov. Smith's Position On the Prohibition Law Gov. Smith's Position On the Prohibition Law ALBANY, June 29.—Gov. Smith's statement, of his position on prohibition, in his message to the Houston convention, reads: Also equal and even enforcement of the law in the cornerstone upon which rests the whole structure of democratic government. If it is the will of the people of this nation that I am to take an oath as President, of the United States to protect and defend our Constitution and laws, I will execute that oath to the limit of my ability, without reservation or evasion. It is well known that I believe there should be fundamental changes in the present provisions for national prohibition, based as I stated in my Jackson Day letter, on the fearless application to the problem of the principles of Jeffersonian democracy. While I fully appreciate that these changes can only be made by the people themselves through their elected legislative representatives, I feel it to be the duty of the chosen leader of the people to point the way which in his opinion leads to a same, sensible solution of a condition which I am convinced is entirely unsatisfactory to the great mass of our people. Common honesty compels us to admit that corruption of law enforcement officials, bootlegging and lawlessness are now prevalent throughout this country. I am satisfied that without returning to the old evils that grew from the saloon, which years ago I held, and still hold, was and always ought to be a defunct institution in this country, by application of the democratic principles of local self-government and States' rights, we can secure real temperance, respect for law and eradication of the existing evils. Turks Try Reds CONSTANTINOPLE, June 28—The trial has begun of seven Communists accused of disturbances on May Day. Their leader admits having taken part in the Russian revolution and having not other Communists in the Soviet Embassy here and also board Soviet warships sent to escort the Aucer of Afghanistan to Ratum. The seven include two women. All are said to be connected with these convicted in January, when "Viva Lenin" was chalked on the walls of the State tobacco factory and Communist propaganda tracts were published. DARK CONTINENT! AFRICA COMING INTO HER OWN Black Continent is the "Dark Horse" of the World, Says Traveler—Most Important Development Is Taking Place AFRICA (From the Star of Zion) It is the habit of the American mind to think of this country as the greatest in everything that men regard worth white. It is this turbulent top-leftness that makes America disliked among the nations. Nations, as individuals, resent constaint reminders of their inferiority. But Africa, we are told, is not the hopeless "Dark Continent" of our imagination. At the present rate of her progress, in the brief period of a century, and a half, Africa will have usurped the leadership of America. Africa possesses every essential which America possesses and in larger amounts. Also she has the advantage of climate. The natives are intelligent, and will contribute enormously to the development of their country. Wyndt- D. Hubbard, writing on "Africa Emerging from Darkness," is enthusiastic in his optimism from the beginning to the end of his story. He exclaims. Africa — the Dark Continent! Visions of slaves, ivory, heat, fever, jungles and deserts rise up before most of us at the mention of that great continent. Fifty years ago parts of this vision of Africa as the Dark Continent were probably true. The slaves, for instance, and the ivory and the fever. But now a true picture should contain fruit orchards, railways, gold, diamonds, wool, great stretches of grazing, and a soak lake, river steamers, courtoisse Negroes and modern hotels. The Dark Continent? Not now—rather the dark horse, the unappreciated contender for first place among the continents. Since the days of Stanley, Spoke, Cornwallis, Harris and Du Challu, Africa has changed, and mightily. One of the most important and interesting developments of our time has been taking place, and it has been largely overlooked by Americans. "Ethiopia shall again stretch forth her hand unto God." Mexicans Plan to Ship Fruit to U. S. Markets TAMPICO. Mexico, June 30 — Blans are reported near consummation which will make Tamplico a center, for the shipping of tropical fruits to the Northern markets of the United States, principally New York. If negotiations proceeding are realized Tamplico will become the greatest fruit exporting center in the republic. These plans are being promoted by Gin Frutera del Gallo, a Mexican company, and, according to G. M. Salinas, the general manager, considerable progress is being made. He says the Ward Line has assured his company that sufficient vessels are equipped to move this fruit quickly to the United States and that banana planters in the Tamplico area plan to increase their production in expectation of the start of an extensive fruit exporting industry here. Assurance also has been given by tomato growers that they will aid the project by supplying large quantities of that vegetable, Salinas says, and a similar promise has been made by pineapple plantations and potato, onion and cataelope farms. "It is the plan of this new fruit company to contract for the crops and make the necessary connections in the United States for the disposal of this produce."

BROOKHAVEN, Miss, June 30.—Stanley and Fugl Boarden, Negrens, accused of shooting "two white men" yesterday morning, were taken from the jail here by a mob last night and lynched. The mob overpowered the guards at the small jail, took the Negroes from their cells and drove out of town in automobiles. One of the Negroes, a 'rope' around his neck, was dragged to death behind an automobile. MISSISSIPPI,TOWN QUIET AFTER DOUBLE LYNCHING Brookhaven Carries on as Bodies Sway From Trees BROOKHAVEN, Miss., June 30.—Quiet and a little bit apprehensive. Brookhaven carried on as usual today with no traces of the violent excitement that rocked the town last night when two Negroes were lynched by a mob. Early this morning the mutilated bodies of the victims were swaying from trees beyond the city limits. The lynching resulted from a fight early in the day between the two Negroes, brothers, and two white men, Claudo and Cabby Byrne, automobile service station proprietors. Claudo suffered a broken hip; his brother, Cabby, received a scalp wound from a pistol shot and Police Chief Walter Smith was slightly hurt. The Negroes fled, but were captured and failed after one had been shot three times by officers. With dusk small bands of men gathered on downtown corners and when night came they joined to form a huge mob which immediately moved on the fall. Sheriff Brister and his deputies were overpowered. Held off by locks, the mob sent for an acetylene torch to cut through the cell bars. The Negroes, James and Stainley Bearden, were carried to the street, where one was placed in an automobile and the other dragged through the town by a rope around his neck. The prisoners were driven slowly to separate points on the outskirts of the town and hanged. His Troops, Who Kept City in Order Before It Changed Hands, Will Go Back to Manchuria TIENTSIN, China, July L—General Pao Yu-lin, the Manchurian brigade commander who kept Peking in order from the time it was evacuated by the Northern troops until it was occupied by the Nationalists, has finally been allowed to depart for his home province. The General arrived at Taini this morning, motoring from the former capital. He said that his troops, with arms and munitions, would entrain at Peking at dawn, en route to the same port, whence they would take steamers to Newchang. The disarming of Pao's corps and his detention in Peking caused a diplomatic protest by representatives of foreign powers at Peking. The diplomats held that this action broke the evacuation terms, and they pointed out to the Nationalist Government at Nanking that the Muldenites had lived up to the agreement and had turned over an orderly and unlooted city to the victorious Squatterers. "Remarkable Behavior" Of Native Earns Him 12 Months in Gaol BLOEMFONTEN.—A middle-aged native inberer, Jan Gosseau, was found guilty of an offense against two European girls (aged nine and ten years) on the night of March 12, and sentenced to 12 months with hard labor by Mr. Justice McGregor in the Supreme Court, here. The mother of the two girls said that when her boy brought her coffee in the morning he told her he had seen a native asleep in the room occupied by the two sisters. She called one of her boarders, who was a detective, and with aid she pulled the native out of the bed. The elder of the girls said she was disturbed during her sleep and felt somebody alongside her, but she took it to her sister. She only awoke when the detective had the native out of bed, and then did not know that he had slept between herself and her sister. The accused stated in the witness-box that he was given two full glasses of brandy on the day preceding this occurrence. In addition to this, he had plenty of Kaffr beer. He was "as drunk as a lord" and could not remember how he got into the room. He only got his senses back in the cell later that day—Rand Daily Mall. The Negro Delegates at The Houston Convention For the first time in the history of the Democratic Convention, space was reserved, for colored delegates, and spectators, not in the rear of the hall, but reserved space right next to the platform. Through the instrumentality of Congressman Royal H. Weller of New York, two colors, argenna-at arms were appointed. The Negro of Houston contributed $2,000 toward the subscription for the convention hall. The colored Democratic delegates were most cordially welcomed well rewarded for. SOUTH AFRICA TRIES TO FIND A WAY TO GAG CLEMENTS KADALIE, PATRIOT Crowds, composed mainly of natives, besieged the Pretoria Magistrate's Court, when Clements Kadalie, national secretary of the I. C. U., appeared before Mr. S. A. McCormick, chief magistrate, on a charge of making a speech likely to cause ill-feeling between Europeans and natives. Kadalie, who was smartly attired, and wore a red tie, was defended by Mr. O. Schreiner. The Crown case was conducted by Mr. E. A. Wollaston. Johannes Lamprecht, a constable employed on the central staff at police headquarters, said that on April 22 he attended a native open-air meeting at Marabastad Location. Kadalio addressed the gathering, and witness made shorthand notes of what he said. Cross-examined, the witness said one of the objects of the meeting was to promote good feeling between the I. C. U. and Native National Congress. There had been organized police raids in the location previously for passless natives. One native speaker at the meeting urged his hearers to throw away their passes, but Kadaille was more moderate, and advised them to wait. At times, however, he became very excited, and it would be difficult to say that he had a pacifying influence. Kadaille spoke of increased wages, and also discussed the land question. He said the land was "robbed by the forefathers," and declared the people in the Union Building could "go to hell." Referring to the European population, he remarked, "they are the most sinful people. God ever made." It was possible that when he said "the whole of this people can go to hell" he was alluding to the Government. Philip Steinkamp, a detective, who was present at the meeting, said feeling was running very high when Kadaille spoke. Witness noticed a native push a European reporter by the arm, ordering him to take off his hut. Kadalie's Evidence Kadalle, in the witness box, said he came from Yuxalassand originally, but had resided in, the Union, for some years. In 1919, the I. C. U., of which he was national secretary, was founded in Johannesburg. The movement was affiliated with the International Federation of Labor at Amsterdam. At a Congress held recently, in Bloomfontein it was agreed that the Government should be asked to suspend the pass laws for six months as an experiment. If natives remained law-abiding during that period the Government would be asked to repeal the pass laws. Kadalle said that a Scottsman was on his way to South Africa to take up the position of secretary with the I. C. U. movement. Alluding to his address at the meeting, the accused said he advocated the increase of native wages. The land question was appealed from "socialistic point of view." Kadalle added that he was pleased the Prime Minister had realized that the land was not fairly divided between the two sections of the population. His whole attitude was summed up in the phrase: "This land must belong to the poor little natives as well." Witness said he then mentioned the pass laws, and explained the scheme regarding the suspension of the laws for six months. Alleged to Be Savages "In saying the passes should be burned, I said the pass laws were introduced because it was alleged the natives were savages." Kadalle continued. "I said that if our rulers supported the pass law system on the ground that natives were savages, then they must be hypocrites. When I said the people could go to hell I was referring to our rulers. In saying they were the 'most sinful people ever made' I was dealing with our rulers, who had passed, the Color Bar Act and many other acts which I regard as oppressive. I said they were a disrespect to Christianity and civilization. When I spoke of slaves I said the confluence of the pass laws meant that passes could only be regarded as badges of slavery. When I spoke of the enemies of South Africa I referred to the Government. I said I knew the Government would refuse our constitutional request to suspend the pass laws; and would do as they had done in the past, shoot down the strikers." A remark about organizing an "army," Kadalle said, was intended to convey that he hoped natives would become scientifically organized. This was a phrase commonly used by Labor leaders, "I am an anti-militarist," he noen. Mr. Schreiner: Had you any intention of setting natives against the whites? Kadalle: I have always deprecated such action on the part of native leaders. Cross-examined by Mr. Wollaston, Kadalle said he had not meant to refer to "placks and whites" in regard to the division of land. He really intended to differentiate between "capitalists and workers." Asked why he had not made it clear throughout his speech he was referring to the Government, Kadalle said he was taking a course in the science of speechmaking, and was trying to avoid a repetition of a word. John Bellman, an ex-actor, said he was the distributing agent for the I. C. U. paper. He was present, with his wife, at the meeting. The gathering, said witness, was very much in the nature of a "Sunday school treat," and Kadalle was "like a parson giving fatherly advice." Kadalle said nothing to creat any ill-feeling. After hearing argument, Mr. McGormick reserved judgment till May 31. FACTION FIGHTS HINDER ZIONISTS IN CONFERENCE Bitter Debates and Near Fisti-cuffs Mark Rally — Nathan Straus in Letter Pleads for Convention Harmony PITTSBURGH, July 2. — Delegates attending the thirty-first annual convention here of the Zionist organization of America strove today to overcome a bitter factional fight in order that the session may proceed and something be accomplished. The convention opened yesterday with an afternoon and evening session, at which time little was accomplished; except, the election of Louis Linsky of New York, president of the organization, as honorary chairman and the election of the credentials committee. Bitter verbal battles and near-fist fights prevented the progress of the convention and allowed only the debating of "non-essentials" as the presiding officer prescribed session. Rabbi Wise as Guest A noon luncheon today was expected to serve as sort of a peace meeting for the rival factions in the organization who are fighting for leadership. Dr. Stephen S. Wise of New York, chief critic of the administration, was guest of honor; and Lipsky, the target of Dr. Wise's attacks, was toinmaster. Desperate in their efforts to create an atmosphere of harmony in the convention, officers of the organization unite public a letter from Nathan Strada, head of American Judiah and noted philanthropist, in which he pleaded with the delegates to conduct the convention without ranger. The convention will resume its sessions this afternoon to hear the report of the committee on committees and continue the debate over financial and political matters. Dr. Wise in leading the discussion against the policies of Lipsky on the floor of the convention declared: "This is a noisy, chaotic mob, a disgrace to American Judiah," and asked that disturbers be removed from the room. His speech had been heard with "hoos" and threats from the 1,000 delegates. The Main Izausa The two main issues of discussion in the convention of the organization, which is a branch of the World Zionist Organization for the Upholding of Palestine as the Jewish National Homeland, are the leadership of Lipsky and the Jewish agency. The "oppositionists" have charged Lipsky with failure to conduct the business of the organization properly and they oppose the agreement of the World Organization of Zionists with the Jewish agency for the upholding of Palestine. Dr. Chain Weizmann of London, president of the World Zionist Organization, was instrumental in the reaching of the agreement with the Jewish agency. Lipsky in his annual address to the convention praised Great Britain in its activities—as mandatory power over Palestine and Dr. Welzmann for his political negotiations with the Jewish agency. Soviet Trade Gains MOSCOW, June 30—Soviet foreign Trade turnover, increased more than 11 per cent. in the initial eight months of the fiscal year beginning October 1 over the preceding similar period, it was announced by the Commissar of Foreign Trade. The total turnover was $517,000,000, as against $563,000,000. The Skiniest Man In the World Can Now Learn How to Put On Pounds of Solid, Healthy flesh?

KNOX ENTHUSES WITH RECITAL OF EVENTS THAT CAME IN WAKE OF HISTORIC ALBERT HALL MEETING Says There Was a Conspiracy on the Part of the Press to Distort the Import of the Meeting and Maintain Silence on the Profound Impression Marcus Garvey Made FOLLOWING THE MEETING GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SOUGHT OUT GARVEY Churchmen and Leaders of Kindred Movements Promised to Furnish Him with a Forum Any Time He Desired—Prof. Caleb Robinson of Liberty University Makes Plea for Support LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday Night, July 1.—The Mother Division upheld its reputation in able fashion tonight, on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting. The hall was filled to capacity, in spite of the fact that a subscription was taken at the doors, and a splendid programme was enjoyed to the full by as loyal and enthusiastic an assembly of Garveyites as can be found anywhere in the world. Their splendid showing, past and present, was the subject of congratulations by Prof. Caleb Robinson, President of Universal Liberty University, who made a stirring address in behalf of that institution. He said it was a great pleasure to note from afar and in their midst the great work the members of the New York Local were doing. The principal-speaker was the Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the President-General, who entertained, while enlightening, his audience with details of the splendid results that had already begun to accrue from the famous Royal Albert Hall meeting in London, at which the Hon. Marcus Garvey stated the case for the Negro in the first of series of addresses he has planned to deliver in Europe. The meeting was presided over by Mr. J. H. Miller, who, in a brief opening address, stressed the fact that that was Garvey Day, the day on which all the followers of the Hon. Marcus Garvey specially commemorated his work and worth. The programme was as follows: Selection by the Universal Band under Prof. Ulric Hassell; antithem by the choir; soprano solo by Mrs. F. Rhoden; duet by the Misses Brown: "Garvey Is Our Leader, and a soprano solo by Mrs. M. Stewart. PROF. ROBINSON'S ADDRESS. Prof. Calc) Robinson first apoke. He said as he stood before that vast audience he had the feeling that something of an overwhelming character was going to happen. (The audience soared that the speaker was referring to Marcus Garvoy's work in Europe and cheered to the echo, as he repeated the statement.) He said he wanted to eay to the New York members that he congratulated them, with all his heart. He had come from Virginia, the old mother of States, to compliment the good people of New York on their admirable work for the cause Atrie. Coming from all over the world to the great metropolis of New York, they had focused their eyes and their minds on one great man, on one great purpose. "I feel that something great in happening and compiling greater is going to happen," said the speaker, and the audience cheered again. Liberty University in Need After paying a compliment to the Hon.

The organization was doing a splendid work, giving the boys and girls of the race the correct education, and again he had to congratulate New York for having furnished the first three students to graduate.

HOM. E. B. KNOX'S ADDRESS The Hon. E. B. Knox then spoke. He said he was indeed glad again to greet the membership on the day that had been set aside as Garvey Day. "The first Sunday in every month," he said, "we dedicate to the Hon. Marcus Garvey. We held a splendid meeting this afternoon under the sapiens of the Juveniles especially to commemorate the work of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. It was well attended. Those who were present enjoyed themselves and caught new inspiration from the children that they may go forward, day in and day out, encouraging the Hon. Marcus Garvey to go on in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association." Albert Hall Meeting Mr. Knox then proceeded to speak of the great meeting held in London on June 6. "Tonight," he said, "the work is going forward by leaps and bounds." The meeting was a masterpiece, a master stroke, rather, in the defense of the four hundred million Negroes of the world. Those words were the opening words of a great European campaign, and I think each one of you should buy several copies of The Negro World and preserve them throughout all time so that your children and your children's children may be able to read the introductory remarks of the great campaign launched on June 6, 1928, in behalf of the Negro peoples of the world. Proceeding, the speaker said the meeting was a truly wonderful one, and as he sat presiding over that meeting, he felt like Professor Robinson said he felt that evening—thrilled. He felt thrilled even at that moment from the effects of the meeting. At this juncture, he said, it might be well to repeat that the meeting was held in London, the campaign was launched in London, because England was the greatest of the colonial powers that are dominating Africa. The Hon. Marcus Garvey had convinced every intelligent Negro man and woman of the feasibility of his programme and he had, now embarked on the task of making an intensive appeal to the white race. Tolling' the Facts "The Hon. Marcus Garvey," said Mr. Knox, "has gone to those powers that control our destiny to make them realize that if they would make their own future secure, if they were going to exercise their better judgment, they had better take into account that there are 400,000,000 resilient Negroes in the world, and that those Negroes have realized that the greatest obstacle, the greatest handicap that stands between them and freedom is the white man and his vile propaganda and crafty practices to hold them down." After the Meeting The onthusiasm of the audience reached its height as Mr. Knox recited several remarkable events which followed the great meeting. He dwell upon the anusing attempts of the white reporters when fire the Hon. Marcus Garvey arrived in England to helpless his mission, and contrasted it with their subsequent concern and seriousness, "Way," he declared, "after the Albert Hall meeting the telephone was constantly ringing, and no sooner had one reporter left than another was uttered in." A SigniGeant Visit "One significant event," continued Mr. Knox, "was that after the meeting representatives came to interview the Hon. Marcus Carvey. One said: 'Mr. Carvey, I have been interested in the African question for a long time. I am the man who is responsible for the incorporation of a certain provision in the Treaty of Versailles on behalf of the Negro peoples of the world. I am the man that influenced His Majesty's Government to take a certain attitude toward the Negroes in Africa. I have travelled in Africa. I have worked there; I have lived there and dealt with the Africans on behalf of my Government, and I know the whole situation; so I would like to know, Mr. Carvey, what you are going to do—what you want the Government to do.' He said: 'You know there is a great unrest down there and we would not like to see any fighting there. If anything can be done, if you want us to do anything, let us go about it in a mutual way.' And you know, "said Mr. Knox," "when he began to speak in that the Hon. Marcus Carvey stepped on the gas euro enough." (Applause.) Ministors to Help Mr. Knox then told how a large number of pastors had come to the Hon. Marcus Garvey and promised to give him an opportunity to speak to their congregations, so impressed were they with the righteousness of the cause and he expounded it from the platform of the Albert Hall. The President of the Indian Freedom League, too, which is operating in England, said the speaker was so impressed that the day after the meeting he sent a letter to the Hon. Marcus Garvey inviting him to come and address the Indian people, and on the following Sunday he (the speaker) accompanied Mr. Garvey to the forum, where they addressed the Indian movement, and on the following day the President of the Indian Freedom League sent Mr. Garvey a letter congratulating him and stating that the Freedom League would make itself an agency in his behalf to make it possible for him, to speak anywhere they had any influence. An Epochel Period) Mr. Knox concluded his speech with references to some of the striking things the Hon. Marcus Garvey had said in his speech and assured the membership that the Association had certainly entered an epochel period—a period which, he was certain, would be brimful of achievement. Years of civilism from both within and without the State have finally brought an end to Alabama's convict lease system. It has now ceased officially, and the last of the prisoners who formerly worked in mines and lumber camps have been assigned duties and quarters under the direct and exclusive supervision of the State. Thus it ended a controversy that began in 1915 and has echoed and re-echoed through the legislative halls and played a part in subsequent court-room and prison investigations. Alabama for a number of years held the distinction of being the last State in the Union to work her prisoners under leases to private corporations. Protest, against the system began in Alabama itself, but it was augmented by the voices of social workers and prison reformers everywhere. In 1918 Mobile County led the way in a voluntary withdrawal of all county convicts from the turpentine and lumber camps, engaging them in highway work and later demolishing them on a 600-acre farm, which is still in successful operation. Starting New Program Yielding to the pressure of Staple-wide insistence, the Alabama Legislature, in the administration of Governor Thomas E. Kirby, voted to halt leasing by January 1, 1923, and the matter was for a time believed settled to the satisfaction of the people. In the following administration of Governor W. W. Brandon, however, it was said that plans were not sufficiently worked out for the care of the convicts who would be brought back into State institutions under the reform, and a new legislature amended the law and placed the withdrawal at the discretion of the governor. The Brandon Administration did not complete this program, and it was left to Governor Bibb Graven, who assumed office in January, 1927, to make final arrangements for abolishing the system. Within a month after his inauguration a detachment of convicts was taken from the private mines, and put to work in factories established by Governor Kirby at Spetgner and Kilby prisons. At frequent intervals thereafter other convicts were transferred to the factories or to the highways, until by the autumn of 1927 only 300 or 400 men remained to be placed. Meanwhile, the Legislature of 1887 had approved Governor Graves's proposal to establish two convict farms—one in the southern and one in the northern end of the State. The one for the south has been started in a rich agricultural section near Atmore. It contains 3,500 acres and accommodates the final group of State prisoners just taken off private contracts. While there will still remain a few county prisoners working under lease, it is expected that the next session of the Legislature will dispose of the last vestige of the system. What has been described as an interesting commentary on prison reforms in Alabama was the policy of self-discipline established among the convicts who were engaged in the construction of the Atmore buildings. More than a hundred in number, they went about their work, with many of the privileges of free men. No armed guards stood over them; they were not locked in steel cages or night, but slept in tents, without the barrier of a stockade. There were no whips or lashes. Yet they are said to have labored with great efficiency. Many of them received pay for putting in overtime at their jobs. While the lash is still permissible under the Alabama law, it has fallen into disuse and may be applied only in emergencies, such as that which arose in a mutiny in Killy Prison on March 22, 1927. That was before the Graves system had been fully worked out. Now for more than a year the whip has not been used. When in May, 1928, three men made a successful break for freedom. It was not the prisoners who were punished, but the guard, who was discharged. Along with the abolishing of lenses has come the segregation of prisoners. Women are now kept from all contact with the men prisoners, and the youthful and first offenders are separated from more or less habitual or incorrigible criminals. Coincidentally, it is the declared policy of the Graves administration to reduce executive clemency to the absolute minimum compatible with justice. Under the previous administration pardons and paroles were granted to an extent that brought widespread criticism. Governor Graves has declared that it is not the function of the executive to override the judiciary. 15 Are Killed in India As Hindus Attack Moslems CALCUTTA, July 1.—Newspaper reports say, that fifteen were killed and twenty-five seriously wounded at Khargpur Friday, when a Mohammedan, religious procession with music attempted to pass a Hindu temple. Hindus and Sikhs attacked the procession. There was much stone-throwing, but most of the deaths occurred in fighting in hwene, sulties and houses, where the police were unable to intervene effectively. Two women were stabbed to death while trying to save the lives of relatives. Police reinforcements have been sent to Khargbur, and the situation is reported as under control. PARIS, July 1. Within the next few weeks, it is expected here, the final terms will be, reached in the long-professed negotiations for signature of the treaty outlawing war, which Secretary Kellogg developed out of the original proposal of Foreign Minister Brink for a compact or perpetual peace between France and the United States. During the days which have elapsed since Mr. Kellogg's last note with its proposed treaty formula was submitted to the fourteen interested nations, close study has been made of all the documents involved, and there has been a full exchange of views between the jurists in the various Foreign Ministries involved. And of these examinations and discussions the outcome appears to have been a general conclusion that, with only a few more precisions of view publicly stated, so as to make their various positions perfectly clear, all those invited to sign this treaty will be ready and willing to do so. Have Borne the Senate in Mind In coming to this conclusion, European colonists have never lost sight of the fact that they must reccion not only with Mr. Kellogg, but also with the American Senate. They have come to believe that the Secretary of State has gone as far as he can toward meeting the various resources which were attached if he is to succeed in getting this New World charter approved by the upper house. For this reason there will probably be less insistence on further modification of the document than would otherwise have been the cage. Each invited country has made its views and reserves abundantly clear and there, can, it is believed, be no misunderstanding. For instance, the fact that the English Government has proclaimed a kind of Monog Doctrine for the Suez Canal and other districts of the empire in the same way as the United States holds the Monroe Doctrine with regard to Panama, has no specific mention in the treaty draft as proposed by Mr. Kellogg. But there can be no misunderstandings in view of the English note, with regard to that situation. For the rest, Mr. Kellogg's explanations have gone very far toward satisfying the French reserves. Indeed, it may be said that on examination the new note has proven even more satisfactory than was at first believed. Inclusion of Franco's Allies Inclusion among the first signatories of Czechoslovakia and Poland, which thus makes the new compact applicable to all the signatories of the Locarno Treaty, is of great importance. For the logical conclusion from this situation is that any Stake which violates the terms of the Locarno records violates at the same time Mr. Kellogg's treaty against war. All the other parties to Locarno, therefore, are at once liberated from their engagements under the Washington treaty. And, furthermore, it is not by any means to stretch the moral sense of Mr. Kellogg's proposal to believe that there will be a certain obligation on the part of those who sign his treaty to support the signatories of the Lo- Nothing does as m liness to a plain face pretty one as beaut ingly arranged.

It is this aspect of the situation which has mostly led to the waiving of precisions in the definition of treaty obligations by the European powers. Among them France, at least, would prefer a treaty which imposed sanctions, that is to say, which called for solidarity of action among the other signatories in case of the treaty's infraction by any one. It is, however, doubted that such a specific "entitlement" would pass the Senate. But though the letter is not, incorporated in the treaty, its spirit must Mexico Pays Up Arrears Of 1927 on Foreign Debt MEXICO CITY, June 20—Mexico has paid her arrears for the year of 1927 on her foreign commitments due the International Committee of Bankers on Mexico in New York, thus bringing up to datagall payments on the financial agreement which began in 1925 and expired on last December 31; according to an official announcement from the Secretary of the Treasury. Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow was instrumental in obtaining a moratorium for the government, which expires today, and while there is no official confirmation, it is anticipated that upon his return from the United States he will take up the question of extending this moratorium until the end of the year, although the Secretary, of the Treasury declares that the government is now waiting to hear from the bankers as to what they intend to propose in regard to their new agreement in accordance with recent examination master of the nation's finances by a committee of experts sent here by the bankers.

Amber 25' ADVERTISMENT (From the Sunday American) The United States should speedily recognize the new government of China. It is a republican government, with ideals based largely on the government of our own country. It controls the whole of China, which for the first time since the emperor was deposed is under a single government. It represents the Chinese people, their ideas and their aspirations. It has taken the place of the rule of a number of military chiefs, some of whom, notably Chang-Tao-Lir of Manchuria, were backed by Japan and other foreign nations. The purpose of Japan was to disrupt China and obtain part of it for Japan. The republican government which now has control of China wants to maintain the integrity and independence of the nation. China for centuries has been oppressed from the outside by foreign powers. It has been oppressed from within by an archile and despotic government whose only object was to exploit the people. At last the government of China is in the hands of the people themselves. They have always looked upon America and their one unselfish friend, and our government should hasten to prove that America in such a friend by recognizing promptly the present people's government of China. We also have a selfish reason for needing a substantial friend among the Asian nations. Japan is hostile to the United States, and always will be China has always been a friend, and can be reminded as a very chap and grateful friend. Finally, China is in going to be the most powerful and progressive nation in Asia. It has more than three hundred million people and an enormous territory, rich in resources. If the United States lines any shadow of diplomacy and any degree of foreseeing, it will bind China to itself as a lasting friend. "His dar qu'il cité dat"—he gives twice who gives quickly. Give recognition quickly and receive in return the good will of a great people. The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. THE Republican and Democratic Conventions have passed into history, the candidates have been chosen, and the country is on tip-toe, awaiting with unprecedented relish the political battle which impends. Hoover, yoked with Curtis, will lead the Republican hosts, while Democracy's banner will be carried by Al Smith and Joseph T. Robinson. Two great principals are in the ring—Herbert Hoover, the Quaker, and Alfred E. Smith, the Roman Catholic; the one, buttressed by a reputation for unusual efficiency and thoroughness; the other, as highly favored as an administrative wizard; Hoover, of international note, the finished product of the modern university; Smith, ex-newsboy, graduate of the school of hard knocks, the most engaging political figure of this generation. Great is the responsibility of the voters of America today, greater than at any time in the nation's history; for America is now the most powerful country in the world, the greatest republic that ever existed, the most potent force for good or evil in the universe. The wrong man in the White House, however limited his scope of action by the laws of the land, can work incalculable injury not only to this country, but to whole groups and nations in the other half of the globe. And so it is a very fortunate thing for America and the world that the two candidates for the Presidency are pre-eminently fitted for the task to which one of them will be summoned in November. The United States of America, it is pretty well agreed, will be as safe with Smith as it will be with Hoover, but this does not touch the consideration that of necessity is uppermost in our minds. It will be beyond a doubt safe for the white citizenry, but what of that considerable band of fifteen million black men and women who, also accounted citizens, owing allegiance to the Stars and Stripes, yet are buffeted and hamstrung by an unsympathetic majority of their fellow citizens against all law and justice? These, we submit, should not be as satisfied with either choice as the rest of the citizenry. It is not that the Negro stands to gain more by a Republican in the White House, or a Democrat, but we believe that as between Hoover and Smith a choice can be made with advantage to the Negro, even though the candidates have so much in common as Presidential timber. That Hoover is a Quaker or Al Smith a Roman Catholic has no importance or significance for the Negro whatever, and the Negro is a fool who, aping the white bigot, runs around in circles prating of the Pope in the White House. The Pope in the White House, at that, could do no less for Negroes than Calvin Coolidge did. But, as we see it, the Negro should carefully consider the two men in the light of their humanity, and the Negro vote should be recorded for the man who will be more prone to listen to the anguished wall of Negroes for recognition and a square deal in the affairs of men. The rank and file of Negroes should spurn the Negro political bargainers who urge them to vote for any man in the coming election merely because of a Party label. Smith and Hoover. Two outstanding men-statesmen who can do much for the harassed Negro, not only in this country, but abroad, if they are so minded. Let the Negro determine which will be of the greatest service to the Negro race, and having done that, let his vote be cast accordingly. IT IS A great game—this feverish furore, politically speaking, between the "Wets" and the "Drys." And what is Prohibition? It is a decree that members of the human race resident in the United States of America shall not drink beverages containing more than one-half of one per cent, of alcohol. Christ turned water into wine that men and women may drink. When men and women are ill and in extremity the famed of the medical profession prescribe alcohol, Come to think of it, a world-famed physician, no less a person than Sir Arbuthnot Lane, tells us that "Alcohol is a better food than meat." But in America, "Demon Rum" is a demon indeed. He would be exiled by law. If it ever became our special task to find the arch-hypocrite of the age we would search for him in the ranks of the "Drys"—that precious band of men who bolster up their courage in their bedrooms with hard liquor and sally forth, chewing peppermint, to make the world safe, with sober men, for democracy. For we have more than a suspicion that some of the most rabid "Drys" are the most faithful disciples of Bacchus. They are like the portly, self-righteous preacher of days gone by, calling on God to witness the sins of this precocious generation, while winking at the prepossessing matron in the front pew. The "Wet" and the "Drys" in the body politic of America—there is no such animal. All men do not drink alcohol. All men do not smoke. All men do not marry. All men do not eat meat. And who to say that the abstaining minority should either be damned or given a passport to heaven? Consider Harlem, the largest Negro city in the world. And at the same time consider Prohibition. We say "Harlem" because we dwell PROHIBITION --- in Harlem, but there are thousands, and thousands of Harlem in this fair land of Volsteadism. In Harlem the greatest vice is not "playing the numbers," not the cabarets, not the debauchery of young womenhood, but Prohibition. The corner saloon and the evils it bred were a sacrificial altar compared with the degradations of the apartment-speakeasy. In the saloon the confirmed tippler and the quean of the streets were segregated. In a thousand homes in Harlem they rub shoulders with innocent children. Where there is hooch the people perish. There is not a bootlegger in all this land who would not lay down his life for a militent "Dry." The "Drys" make money or build reputations advocating and defending Prohibition. The bootleggers make money and earn concomiums from millions selling spurious liquor. And where the "Dry" happens to be the mentor of a congregation, it is the bootlegger who is the most liberal contributor to his stipend—it is the man who waxes rich selling putrid liquor to human beings who is as the very breath of life/to the sacrosanct dry crusader. Show us a preacher who would banish a bootlegger from his church and we will show you an egg-dealer who abhors laying hens. Harlem, New York, like countless communities throughout this nation, is being prostituted by Prohibition—this monster of hypocrisy. Governor Smith says he wants to see the Prohibition Law changed, and we are with him heart and soul. Let any man rid the Commonwealth of this cancer and he will earn the undying gratitude of this and future generations. The Passing of T. Thomas Fortune EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Thomas Fortune is dead. His active life covered the most dynamic half century in human history. More rapid and radical changes took place in his day than this old planet of ours had witnessed from creation's down up to the time of his arrival. These world-sweeping movements made little or no conscious impression upon him. He lived in a limited racial world. The onward sweep of cosmic forces made little dirt upon his zealous soul. Amid the cosmic sweep of science, discovery, invention, the world transforming changes in literature, art, religion and practical life, he stood aloft and indifferent like the Hobrow prophets, declaring with clarion voice that righteousness and righteousness along is the salvation of the nation. Like up to a voice crying in the wilderness, the world listened for but a moment, then stopped its ears to the impotent wallings of the conscience. Fortune was born in the year of the Dred Scott Decision. His infancy covered the stirring years of the Civil War. An soon as his boyfriend imagination began to stir his spirit he was caught up in the whirl of Reconstruction. Never did youthful spirit feed on more nourishing and stimulating pabulum. His soul made instant response to that stimulus. The diverse strains of Negro, Indian and Caucasian blood kept his nature in unstable equilibrium. He was motivated by the dynamics of balanced pressure. The waters of liberty were stirred and his malicious youth was baptized therein. These were the days that tried men's souls. In such an environment as this young Fortune found his soul. Contrast that day with this day. The rallying cry of the Civil War was the purchase of liberty; the watchword or the World War was the purchase of Liberty bonds. The youth of this day was obesessed with a love of liberty that would not let him go; the youth of our day is obsessed with the craze for luxury and ease with a demonic insignition. A reverent and devout friend of mine declared that he had find that he got religion fifty years ago, for it would be impossible for him to get it now. The same timely disadvantage applies to indoctrination into the principles of liberty and the rights of man. Young Fortune at once launched upon the political tide, then at high flood. At twelve years of age he wan a pare in the Florida legislature. He soon found himself in Howard, University as did many a high spirited youth of that day. But he found the tedium of pedagogy too restorative for his restless youth. Indeed the school has nothing to impart to a great mind or a great spirit except dead formulas, under which it charges, as a spirited horse under restraint of the bit. Who The lack of money should not permanently discourage any one who is seeking a higher education. Even if he has to work, and work hard, there is a way. It is not unlawful nor disgraced to spend more than four years in college. A student having to work might well do part time college work. Spending six years in college will be far more profitable to him in the end than the ready money he might make outside Cleveland Call and Post. A government that does not provide equal opportunities and equal voice for all the people in the management of the public welfare will overthrow itself. While discrimination may begin against the minority, it inevitably will include the majority, which will end in revolution and intolerant eligency. - Atlanta Independent. The doctrine of the vicarious suffering or the virgin birth or the origin of man or the inspired writ or any other time-honored speculative theory can have no chance or a continued existence in the minds of people who discredit their exponents on the grounds of these exponents' actual practices. The actual importance of these doctrines is the basis of all fundamentalism. The excuses for departing from the traditions may be well taken in the inner circles or suffered for political reasons, but they are the strongest arguments for defections from the old faith, and the matter of preaching one thing and practicing another will make dosens of converts to any new faith that is opposed to hypocrisy, superstition and tradition.—Birmingham Reporter.

And so Young Thomas passed through Howard University without the slightest impressment upon his impatience and impetuous spirit. He at once plunged into journalism which is the swiftest and surest institution yet devised by Ryan to bring into life and power whatever is within us. After all has been said and done Thomas Timothy Fortune represents the best developed journalist that the Negro race has produced in the Western World. His pen know, but one theme—the right of man. His editorials were accepted throughout the journalistic world as the voice of the Negro. For a season, bridging the declining of Douglas and the rise of Booker T. Washington, he was the most influential Negro in the nation. A record of his life would be an adequate history of the Negro race for the past fifty years. He knew intimately and infinitely ever upstanding Negro, who participated in the dramatic episodes of Reconstruction. He was not merely an onlooker, but a participant. NOT IN THE MORNING GLORY Not in the morning glory, When life is full of flowers, When the garden glows with each crimson race. As emblem of sunny hours; When life is fair with a promise rare And the sun shines bright above. When a magic chime keeps the world in rhyme Not then would I pledge my love! Stinks down on the seat dark breast; When light is fed and the flowers abed And the joys all come we know. Then with faith apart I would seek your heart— Ab! then would I come to you! J. M. STUART-YOUNG. Onitsha, Nigeria. CONSTANTINOPLE. June 30. That polygamy has proved expensive since its abolition for those Turks who before abolition acquired more than one wife is shown by the case of one with three wives. The high cost of living, led him to sell one wife to a neighbor for $30, all the parties being satisfied until the facts became known to the authorities, when the seller was prosecuted for dealing in slaves. quired from their forefathers; they still grow their maize, cassava, yams and other food products, let alone such exportable products like cocon, in the old fashion. Now, there is no useful purpose served in maintaining a Department of Agriculture in a country unless it is closely connected with the industrial life of the people and it can influence the work of the peasantry in such a manner as to show results in improved methods of cultivation and preparation for—the market.—Gold Const. Times. Each man should study himself more minutely than the studen other people. There is no bridge from one being to another; each is a self, each rests on itself, and will only itself, understands only itself.—National Depot Yellen. Judge not. The man who sees ever so accurately, ever so finely into the motives which prompt other men to act may possibly be ignorant as to his own motives. It is by the mental as well as the physical eye; the object may be placed near the sight to be seen truly, as well as too far off; nay, even too near to be seen at all.-California Voice. The fellow who is continually, telling some one how he should conduct his business never has any business of his own to devote his time to.-Oklahoma Eagle. Let all of us stop saying "business is bad." Go to work. Do business, talk laugh when it's dull and; smile the gloom away. Don't have to lie, either. Business, doesn't have to be pleniful to be good. It's like money—money is good. Ten dollars may not be as much as one hundred dollars, but ten dollars is good—that is, it was good the last one we had—Tamara Bulletin. It is with great pleasure that we hail the return to the Colony of the Rev. Mark C. Hayford, M. A. D. D. R. G. S. our distinguished countryman, and founder and general superintendent of the Baptist Church Mission of the Gold and Ivory Coasts. No citizen of the Gold Coast has been honored as Dr. Hayford was when he was in Europe and America laboring strenuously to secure the means by which to advance the religious and education interests of our country, and where he had the honor of being the guest of noblemen and statesmen and ecclesiastical dignitaries of the first rank. Both the Presidents of the United States of America and France, to whom he was presented by the British ambassador in those countries, received Dr. Hayford and endorsed his work, and from Buckingham Palace His Majesty the King sent him a message of high appreciation, stating among other things he "more than realizes the remarkable work achieved by him on behalf of the spiritual and material welfare of the people of the Gold and Ivory Coast," and "wishes him god-speed and all possible success in his noble and self-sacrificing mission." Dr. Hayford is the author of several works which discuss religious, educational and social problems in West Africa, and his interest in sanitation and his effective endeavors towards improving, health conditions in an equatorial country have gained for him a membership in the Royal Sanctuary Institute, and he has also been elected a Fellow of the London Federation of Medical and Allied Services. On his way to the Gold Coast Dr. Hayford stopped at the Ivory Coast, where he was enthusiastically welcomed by the thousands of converts belonging to his mission thore. The colonial minister of France had specially written the Governor-General of French West Africa to afford Dr. Hayford facilities in respect to his work on the Ivory Coast, and chios and representatives from different parts of the French colony came or sent to greet Dr. Hayford on his arrival in the dependency, where alone 37 stations have been established in connection with that work, and many new church buildings have been erected during the past six years. Preparations are being made by Dr. Hayford, whose success appears to have excited, as may be expected, the leisure of certain persons, to build a first-class girls' training school, in the work of which Mrs. Hayford will take a prominent part, and a chapel. For these proposed buildings two ladies in England and Ireland have kindly made special donations: The school and college already built at Accra, and which has at present over 200 students and scholars, is also to be enlarged. The Christian, educational, and benevolent work of the church and mission represented by him, is to be greatly developed, and the Gold Coast will be all the better for this. Dr. Hayford, who, in one sense, may be regarded as the Booker T. Washington of West Africa, is to be warmly congratulated on account of his scientific efforts and achievements in the best interests of this country, which will ever be grateful to him. Modern Education "Yale's greatest contribution to her students consists in teaching them (1) what the term education means, and (2) that they are not possessed of such a thing." Such is the rather harsh indemnification of the Yale educational machine made by the Student Council in its report on Yale pedagogy. The outstanding criticism is that Yale, like other institutions of higher learning, has failed to adjust her curriculum to the "unprecedented body of knowledge of the modern age, and has become, as a result, far too departmentalized." The freshman is confronted with a great array of courses, each separate and distinct from the others, and scant effort is made to help him orient himself. He has simply set loose in the sea of Yale culture, with certain technic and at times unintelligent "group requirements" as guides. At the end of four years he finds that he has a wide smattering of knowledge in numerous fields; he has taken some work in science, history, Latin, some modern foreign language and literature, and still more work in other subjects; but it is the rare student who has a really comprehensive understanding in any particular field of knowledge. The report recommends, therefore, that the university provide orientation of survey courses in the natural and social sciences to help the student find his main interest, and capable students should be freed from petty requirements and be allowed to concentrate in their chosen field. In this way, these students argue, original thinking can be developed; under the old plan it is penalized. The Nation. 135H ST.

Moon, moon, moon, tem-ton, moon. We would have been very much surprised had the white press of America and Europe commented favorably on the first European appearance of the Hon. Marcus Garvey at the Royal Albert Hall, June 6th. It gives somebody a pain whenever the "Tiger" goes forth to speak on that heart-breaking subject, "Africa for the Africans." Garvey is a heart-breaker-to the imperialists. How many white hearts he has broken since he founded The Negro World, launched the Black Star Line, made history at Madison Square Garden August, 1926, sent two delegations to the League of Nations and launched an ambitious colonization program for Liberia, will never be known. We can only guess the torture he is to white men by the pulse of their propaganda and persecution leveled at him and his cohorts. Black men are getting quite a kick out of the desperate efforts of white men to get them to desert Marcus Garvey and the U.N.A. For once the shrewd imperialists—to whom Africa is as sacred as a white elephant is to the Hindus—are baffled by the determination of those who they once thought were resigned to a condition they had forced upon them. The Negro people of the world regard Africa as a heritage, and so long it remains in control of a gang of white thieves they may expect no quarter from them. Garvey and Garveyism have plenty of work yet for the New York, London and South African propagandists to lose sleep over. Right now black men are getting ready to place at Garvey's command twice what they alleged he squandered in the Black Star Lino "fusco." The interest of Negroes in Garvey and the U. N. I. A. is just as intense as the vilification white men thrust at them. The time is past when the dictum of the white press becomes law and gospel to black men. The New York World, the New York Times, the New York Headline, the London Times, the News of the World, and the African World will never succeed in laughing down Garvey and Garveyism. They will never succeed in caricaturing "Africa for the Africans" sufficiently to cool the passions of those who are in earnest about the job. They will never succeed in their propaganda to minimize our efforts. The game is over. Black men know that white men are mad—mad because Garvey crossed over into forbidden territory, mad because Garvey woke up the sleepy-headed Negro to a consciousness of his, strength, mad because black men endorse the leadership of Garvey and his program for racial development, mad because Africanusut homo and abroad have sworn to resist to the last manny attempt to make Africa "white man's country." Who Laughs Last Keep it up, Mr. White Man—by representing, wilting Garvey and acceive with all the pomp and glory the Court of St. James, at Washing and several Ministers in your att freedom of citizens of the great A. Sizing Up the Situation Mr. Stanley High, journalist at try from a year's studying of the declared in an address that: "The longer willing, to leap in the place assigned them—two very different advocating justice and equality by cating those ideals by a method of the vital choice will be determined West. We in America and Europe man race, the men of yellow, black to determine just how they must a Gary school strike, every outburst of other lands that only by the co they win their place in the sun. What do you think of this, White Man? You who are out to be, love, hatred, or force? Keep it up, Mr. White. Man—by the time you get through haranguing, misrepresenting, wilflying Garvey and Garveyism, black men will force you to receive with all the 'pomp and glory which go with it, a black, ambassador to the Court of St. James, at Washington, at the League of Nations, at the Hague, and several Ministers in your stately capitals to represent and protect the freedom of citizens of the great African Commonwealth. Laugh, fools, laugh. Mr. Stanley High, journalist and author, recently returned to this country from a year's studying of the nationalistic movements in Africa and Asia, declared in an address that: "The youth of Africa, India and China are no longer willing, to leap in the place of inferiority to which the white man has assigned them—two very different doctrines are being presented to them, one advocating justice and equality by force, or Communism, and the other advocating those ideals by a method of love, or Christianity." "The place where the vital choice will be determined," he said, "is not in the Orient, but in the West. We in America and Europe live in glass houses. Two-thirds of the human race, the men of yellow, black and brown skins, are watching us in order to determine just how they must act if they would win their freedom. Every Gary school strike, every outburst of our fangoes helps to convince these people of other lands that only by the communistic doctrine of hatred and force can they win their place in the sun." What do you think of this conclusion from a star of your literature, Mr. White Man? You who are out to scald Garvey and Garveyism—what shall it be, love, hatred, or force? The Policy to Exterminate The Atlanta Independent, judged greatly concerned over the political Speaking on "Distranchion and 14th," it fired this opening statement and has been partly put over, to distarve him, no as to reduce him. With apology to our worthy contender, "The program of the white to disfranchise the Negro, and then channels—political chicanery and eminence." We are passing through Indian and the ostracized abhorrence into the extermination of helpless little for us mentally. When a race no longer inspires fear and temperature, notwithstanding. Is merely far removed from such sufferance, influence, the figure it cuts in into that places it beyond the pale of The Atlanta Independent, judging by the tenor of recent editorials, is greatly concerned over the political and economic conditions of the Negro. Speaking on "Distranchisement and Economic Starvation" in its issue of June 14th, it fired this opening statement: "The program of the South seems to be and has been partly put over, to distranchise the Negro, and then economically starve him, no as to reduce him to a condition of poverty and dependence." With apology to our worthy contemporary, I revamp this statement to read thus: "The program of the white people of the world—as is low in force—is to distranchise the Negro, and then economically starve him, and through these channels—political chicanery and economic necessity—insure his swift extinction." We are passing through the same experiences of the lowly Red Indian and the ostracized aborigine of Australia. Seemingly, history, as it relates to the extermination of helpless minorities and weaker peoples, does very little for us mentally. When a race is reduced to poverty and dependence it no longer inspired fear and respect—its contributions to science, art and literature, notwithstanding. It merely becomes the underdog, the slave of those far removed from such sufferance. It is really the power a race wields in world influence, the figure it cuts in international politics, industry and commerce, that places it beyond the pale of extinction. Hold Onto the Life Line The selfishness, prejudice and white man, keep the North from us can bring him safely to port—the predecessor—the American Negro, the Wested only in his own immediate just another way of being our own use that causes the white man to us economically.

Develop it an other man have and economic starvation to earth. The selflessness, prejudice and acuteness inherited from our neighbor, the white man, keep the Negro from unanimously accepting the only life-line that can bring him safely to port—the program of Garveyism. Living apart to ourselves—the American Negro, the West Indian Negro, the African Negro, interested only in his own immediate environment and his fellowmen therein—is just another way of being our own 'understander'. It is this unintelligent attitude that causes the white man to succeed in distranchising us and starving us economically. How different the attitude of Japanese and Chinese, Jewen and Italians, Germans and Irish. The oceans and seas divide them not, rather, the waters pool their mutual interests and result in a closer fellowship and understanding, a brotherly communion from whence cometh protection, one for another. The fault is not with the white man entirely. He has taken away everything from us that that which God intended shall be ours always-brain. Develop it as other men have done and you can run distranchement and economic starvation to earth.

I found that a small group who had converted the division into a closed corporation, a kind of secret society, were up in arms against supervision by the Parent Body. When I instructed the Secretary to forward the Parent Body a report of my action in disciplining two of the group who were imboding the progress of the division and embarrassing the President in his efforts to lift the division out of the rut. I was rudely told by the secretary, the officer whose duty it is to protect the Parent group's interests and see that its members are respected that "there is no Parent Body" and in this he was supported by the first vice president. A standing notice is carried in this organ weekly informing all officers and members that the Parent Body is functioning as of yore under the direction of the Hon. E. B. Knox, but there are a goodly number of self-seekers, grafters and exploiters in our divisions who have very little respect for the Parent Body and those entrusted to protect its interests. High Commissioners whose duties as District leaders make it imperative that they demand loyalty to the Parent Body and the Hon. Marcus Garvey, are purposely held up as crooks and impostors by divisional officers and members whose own crookedness and impolition the Commissioners refuse to tolerate. The Smooth Hypocrite Keep your eye on the smooth hypocrite, that fellow to whom honest labor is desired, person who in his own language is loyal to Garvey, our disloyal to the rest, who knows Mr. Garvey and Mr. Garvey knows him, who would have you believe that The Negro World is the always right, who has attended all conventions and is official interpreter of the Constitution.

DIVISIONS KINGSTON, JAMAICA A memorial service for the late George Theophilus Allen, trustee of the U. N. I. A., was held at Liberty Hall on Sunday evening, June 17, commencing at 7:30 p.m. The spacious hall, draped with black, decorated with flowers and wreaths for the occasion, was jammed with people, standing room being at a premium. The chapel, Mr. H. B. Green, presided over the first part of the divinity service, and the sermon was preached by Rev. S. M. Jones, High commissioner T. N. L. A. for Jamaica, who took his text from 2nd Samuel, 14:14. The revered gentleman delivered an inspiring address, commenting on the career Mr. George T. Allen. He went away back to the year of Mr. Allen's birth in the town of Montego Bay giving a synopsis of his life from that time to the period 'before' his death. During his lecture, he impressed on his listeners how devoted and active a member, Mr. G. T. Allen had been, naming the different offices he held in the Association during his life. In conclusion he exhorted all to initiate the life of our devoted brother so that when death comes to us, we will be able to say: 'I have done my duty.' The mass meeting was opened immediately after the divine service, which was presided over by Mr. Charles D. Johnson, president of the division. The special offer for the evening was Lady Humbertia Vinton Davis, Fourth Assistant President—General N. C. A. who delivered a very inspiring and appropriate address, she expressed the pleasure it afforded her to be present, but it was with deep sorrow and sympathy that she took part. She had to perform a double duty on the occasion for her. Mr. Allen but for Hon. Maries Garvey, who was away his present, on Mr. Allen had been held in high esteem by Mr. Garvey. During her course she gestured on the sterling quality of Mr. Allen, impressing on her attentive hearts the good impression she had put in for the Negro people all over the world. In her speech he did his duty and was always ready to be at his post, and the members of this division would always keep him in their hearts, and the same would be instructed to his consent. In conclusion she appeared to her hearts to follow the example of our deceased brother. The next speaker for the evening was Mr. C. J. Chamberlain, a representative of a lodge (Ancient Order of Shepherds) of which Mr. Allen had been member. The gentleman stated he came to the lodge every month when he had been associated with for over 25 years, and he was 'sure' Mr. Allen 's place in the lodge would be hard to fill. He had to move with the former speaker that Mr. Allen had been one of the lending emigrants of Damascus, for he was cognizant of the fact from his personal experience. At the close he Mr. Allen and hoped that the blessing of the missionaries to the literature and instruction of the women of our organization had begun. The provision was on follower Anthem by the chanty recitation by Mrs. Mabel Dunning direct by Mrs. Treese and thank you and chorus by Mrs. Keer and quenched recitation by Mrs. R. McBaldan; solo by Mrs. to cheer recitation by Mrs. Sweeney direct by Mrs. Sweeney solo by Mrs. Dargy; solo by Mrs. Williams recitation by Mr. A. R.

Loeyey entitled "Screaming the star" which was composed by Mrs. Irif L. Patterson. Other speeches were made by Measur, L. C. Praser, A. S. Burton and J. J. Whitley. After a speech by Mr. A. Loe Gingot the Fitting terminated with the address of the Ethiopian National Anthem. H. V. BOOKSTEPS, R. ROGERT FLORIDA, CUBA The Plough Division, No. 243, held its regular mass meeting on June 1928. The meeting was called at 8:30 p. m. The gathering was small yet a very permanent time was spent. The few people that attended the meeting showed the true spirit of Carvayism. Because of the illness of the president it was impossible for him to attend. However, the first vice-president, Mr. R. E. Whyman, occupied the chair. The ritualistic part of the meeting was performed by Mr. J. Ewen. He explained to the audience how they should live a spiritual life. He showed how we should live in unity with each other. The chairman gave a short speech and then the program went on follows. First was the reading of the truth page of the Negro World by the lady president. The chairman then expressed the meaning of the news read from the paper. The choir gave a song, which was followed by a warm address delivered by Mr. J. Thomas, ex-president of the San German Division. The gentleman told the audience that members of the U. N. T. A. should live in unity, love and maintain respect for each other. He said again how he greatly prized the movement. Next was a solo by Miss Wilson, and this was received with loud, cheer. A reception by Miss W. Peters; then a recitation by Mr. Eastman followed. Mr. A. A. Reid read the speech of a notable officer, who, though not a Negro, spoke on behalf of the Negro cause. The meeting was very interesting and came to its close after the announcements were made. W. W. CHAMBERS, For Reporter. PAY YOUR YEARLY ASSESSMENT TAX OF $1.00 NOW! LOS ANGELES CHAPTER Sunday, June 3, 1928, was a Day that will not soon be forgotten. In the Chapter's Hall, 48.8 Central avenue. A special meeting was staged by order of the President-general, which was one of the most successful the chapter has had from its birth. Meeting ended to order at the usual room 3 p. m. The processional hymn, "Shine On Eternal Light," brought the officers to their respective places. The chaplain, Dr. R.A. Scott, performed the spiritual ceremonies, and at the end of his service had five minutes' concentration for the success of Mr. Garvey in Europe. The meeting was then turned over to the president, Mr. Frank Fulton, who after a few brief remarks, introduced the master of ceremonies in the person of Mr. J. Meygan, who had an elaborate program prepared, especially for the occasion. The program was as follows: "Oh, Africa, Awaken!"; welcome address, Mr. A. T. Garrison; "Alms and Objects," Mr. T. Garrison; "World reading, Miss Hugues," followed by the singing of the President's hymn; address by Mr. T. J. Herrera; "Battle song by the choir and audience"; address by Mr. F. Marriott. At this stage the collection was raised, every one responding most heavily. Next the speaker of the evening was introduced in the person of Hon. St. George McCallum, who spoke of man's inherent power, and kept the audience spellbound for half an hour. After the report of the receipts of the evening the meeting was brought to a close in the usual way. On Sunday, June 19, the chapter held a successful meeting. Enthusiasm ran high as the various speakers eloquently outlined the significance of the principle of the U. N. I. A. championship for the great works of our race in the person of Hon. Marcel Garvey. The meeting was called to order at 3 p.m. The chaplain, Dr. R. A. Scott, performed the religious rites, followed by five minutes' concentration for the success of our leader. The president then made his opening remarks, stressing the importance of Mr. Garvey's mission to Europe. We had a very interesting program for the afternoon, all the participants giving out much food for thought for the ensuing week. Every one had an enjoyable afternoon and was much inspired from the addresses of the various speakers. The meeting was brought to a close with the shaking of our glorious Ethiopian National Anthem. PANNY HAGUES, Reporter. 南安里村 1. On Sunday afternoon, June 11, the meeting of the Gwenn Club was called to order at 5 o'clock by the president, Mr. John Thunston.

The right pace article of The Negro World was read by Mr. James Taylor. The next number was the President's song, that offered the hearts of all present, Mr. L. Wilkinson. under the opening address, choosing an his subject, "Good Thinking," and he electrified his hearers. This was followed by another speech from our companion manager, Mr. Gibson, who gave us very much encouragement. A short talk by our lady president relative to our drive followed. Then there was a short talk by Mrs. N. Pinder. The meeting was then turned over to the president, Mr. John Thunston, who in his masterly way gave the closing address. All present manifested a splendid spirit. The singing of the National Anthem and benediction brought the meeting to a close. Le WILKINSON. Reporter.

A. is this fast-stepping peanut center of the South, M. J. L. Godfrey, a veteran in years, but a zealous Gervyite who hold on to the charter and talked Gervyism when all but him had fled, saw the sun shine upon his labors last Sunday evening, June 24, when an appreciative audience, made up of a number of young school teachers, and a few business men, graced the beautiful new institution of the Nansemond College Institute strategically located on the Suffolk highway, and listened attentively to a brilliant discourse on the philosophy of Gervyism by the Hón. S. A. Haynes, high commissioner, M. I. D. Morris, a talented member of the faculty of the new public school adjoining the Institute was mistress of ceremonies. Miss Maggie Goodman, honor graduate of Virginia State College, was at the piano. Mr. W. L. Peace, secretary, read the weekly message of the president general. Prayer was offered by the Rev. T. Debro. Inspiring remarks were made by the Hon. White Bunch, president of Norfolk Division, and Mr. Watson T. Goodman, proud father of the talented Goodman family, a prominent citizen and churchman, and an ardent Carvette priest, for a few remarks proof. William Huckerson, principal of the institute, who greatly contributed to the free use of the auditorium by the association elected much applause when he frankly admitted that while quibb a few of his college chums had urged him to become interested in the Carvette program he hesitated because he did not quite understand all of its phrases, and too, the ideal was a little too big for him to thoroughly comprehend at the time. Mr. Huckerson said that the thing that won his interest in Carvette and his program was the unification of the race through realization of openness of purpose. Thanks are due Mr. Walter Savage for giving publicity to the meeting through the colored news section of the white press. Commissioner Haynes and the visitors from Norfolk were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Watson Goodman and family. Plans are already under way to bring Mr. Haynes back to Suffolk at an early date. ZANESVILLE, OHIO Sunday, June 24, was one of the most historical and eventful days ever witnessed in Zanesville, Ohio. The occasion was the visit of Sir William Ware, High Commissioner of the States of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mike Milton Metcoe, the president, an exponent of Garveyism, advertised widely for three meetings, and all were well attended and filled with the spirit of freedom and Garveyism, but the three stock meeting was filled with more enthusiasm than the other two, because it was at this meeting that our commissioner unveiled the charter. This marked a special sign of a great division in the future, even in the souls of the 'doubling Themes'. Although the division has just recently been added to the Universal Negro Improvement 'Association and the first one ever in Zanzarec, the spirit of Garveyism was apparent everywhere in Liberty Hall, which fact makes us confident that with a little more time the Zanzarec Division will be one of the outstanding and model divisions, not only of Ohio, but of the world. Commissioner Ware, installed the following officers: Mr. Milton McGee, president; Mr. F. Alexander, first vice-president; Mr. Sylvester McKnight, second vice-president; Mr. Elliot Jones, third vice-president; Mrs. Nangle Springs, secretary; Mrs. Rosa Johnson, lady president; Mr. Julius Johnson, treasurer, and the chaplain, Mr. Gill. Much credit is to be given the president, Mr. Milton McGee, and his noble wife for spreading and teaching the doctrine of Carvvoyism and the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Zanesville, and thereby making it possible for the establishment of a division INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Indianapolis Division 771 received a fillip on June 25 and 26 with Dr. G. B. Pickens, of Chicago, Ill., who brought good news and glad tidings. He was received with a glad welcome by the members and friends. We are hoping that Dr. Pickens will come back soon, as he is needed to arouse these people, as he did the two nights. Among those that were present in these meetings was Lawyer. B. Louis Moore and Dr. Gillard and many other prominent citizens. All were delighted with Dr. Pickens. The Legions and Black Cross nurses made a wonderful display. The meeting closed with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem and the benediction.

Berry acted as chapman and performed, the Universal alter after which the missionary clerim was sums by all. The program opened with a few remarks from our willing body president, Mrs. S. Swan.

Simpson, Mr. Loe Churke rendered a violin solo, Mrs. P. D.

Hoxle, then addressed us, Mrs. S. Swan, our lady president, introduced the principal speaker, Mr. J. Gibson, who took his subject "The U. N. I. A." His address was very comprehensive and instructive. We had for our next speaker our most worthy Commander of the Day Sequoia, Mr. C. Hyde. He spoke to us on "Life and Its Obligation" and in his closing remarks he talked on "Father's Day," which was well accepted by all, Mr. G. S. Simpson and Mr. P. Moore raked the offering. A reading by our noble vice-president, Mr. W. Bard, followed, and our Hon. Vice-President, Mr. L. T. Berry, made the announcements. Meeting was adduced by Mrs. L. T. Berry, who sold the bonfire. On Sunday, June 24, the general mass meeting of the Youngstown Division, No. 123, was very successful. At 3 p.m. the meeting was called to order by Mr. Coleman, the president of the Division. The opening bym, "From Greenhill to Jay Mountains," was sung, after which the Scripture lesson was read by Mr. Cline, vice-president. The front-paper article, of The Negro World was read and explained by Prof. Aldglen. A short program was rendered by the Black Cross Nurses. A paper was read by Miss Lola White, subject, "Love." The mistress of "ceremonies, Mrs. Lela Clayton, called, upon the indy secretary, Mrs. Pearl Atkinson, of the Youngstown Division, to read and explain page 48 of the first volume of the "Philosophy and Opinions" of Marcus Garvey. The subject was "The Nexro as an industrial Misk-shift." An inspiring talk was made by Mrs James Brooks. The president made a wonderful address in behalf of the Division. The lady president, Mrs. Whetherington, capped upon the ladies for co-operation. The singing of the Ethiopian National Autumn brought an enjoyable meeting to a close. BOYKIN BROWN, Reporter. W. B. LEWIS, Reporter. KINSTON, N. C. On Wednesday evening, June 27, this Division met at the Gideon Hall and staged one of its not-together meetings. After the usual opening ceremonies were performed our President-General's latest message was read, rather which "God Him" Our President" was sung very enthusiastically by all Communications from Commissal Haynes giving important direct were road. The proceedings following President Haynes' opening remarks were mostly those of suggestions and selecting of committees. With the appearance of difficulties in making preparations for舞会 a discussion followed. Finally it was conclude to approach the authority Saturday, June 20, 1958. After repeating "One God, One Alma, and One Destiny," we were dismissed by President Hayes. At last Kinston is making a few steps forward—slowly, but surely. DAVID WARREN, Reporter. The months of May and June have been of marked activity in the St. Louis Division No. 162. Our drive for my members has been very gratifying and the financial offers have also been encouraging. We have tried to meet each call of the Parent Body in a substantial way. We have also started a drive for a business enterprise whereby the membership can do business in a construction way. Some very prominent figures in public life have graced our platform recently, notably Judge Harry Roseen of City Court No. 1, who spoke very encouragingly and praised the U.S. I. A. because it stood for organization for the good of the people. From June 9 to Hon. S. R. Wheat was here with a message of cheer to the new Negro, a solemn warning to the sleeping ones and vitriolic criticism for the reactionary Negro who is attempting to obstruct the upward rush of an amphibian group. Mr. Wheat was accompanied by Prof. C. Welburn, noted Chicago pianist, whose mastery of two pianos at one time was something absolutely new in these parts. Many of his popular compositions were remixed. We are looking forward to the early return of our former President Wheat to help our fighting young president take the old town of skepticism, and lethargy for Garvovism. The rank and file is now in fine tettle and determined to win. Much of the attention in June will be over to a very creditable juvenile program prepared by Mrs. V. A. Needham. Mr. R. Thomas, our master scene artist, exhibited some of his work and offered to open a class of instruction in a field that the Negro is practically barred by unions. Wo were indeed pleased to have Hon. J. E. Craigen with us on June 20. This was his first visit to St. Louis and he made a favorable and lasting impression here. Mr. Craigen held his audience in rapt attention as he pleaded for support of our school at Cairmont. A sense of his striking words were: "This is a God movement and it cannot fall. I have never been discouraged even in the darkest hours when things hung in the balances." We hope that when Mr. Cretgen comes again we will be in position to give him a greater welcome.

GENERAL H. SALTUS. Liberty Hall was resplendent with an enthusiastic gathering on Saturday evening, June 23, at a barbecue and delegates' reception on the campus of the hall. The delegates consisted of the officers of the divisions from the States of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas, who were summoned by the Hon. Commissioner J. J. Peters to report here for a conference to be held on the day of June 24, 1928. The delegates met on Sunday morning at 10:30 to register for the conference. They were blessed with the presence of Hon. J. A. Cralgen, whose mission in New Orleans was to deliver the personal message of Right Hon. Marcus Garvey to the Negroes of this country. Many important questions arose in the conference which were handled, by Dr. Peters for the best interest of the program of the U. N. I. A. In this section of the country, Mr. Cralgen, in his eloquent manner, aspired the delegates, all resolving to return to their respective localities and do even more for the cause of the race's redemption. At 8 o'clock Liberty Hall was filled to capacity with the loyal followers and friends of Hon. Marcus Garvey to hear his message. After the procession of the official staff and choir, the rituals were read by the chaplain, Mr. James Reed. The program was as follows: Reading of the President-General's weekly message by the secretary, Mrs. L. Jones Hillard, followed by much applause; duet by Misses Lucille and Hazel Hawkins, which was well rendered; harmonic selection by Mr. Freddie Shall; recital by Pauline Clay, "Love's Morning Star," written by Hon. Marcus Garvey; address by Dr. J. J. Peters, which was very inspiring; song, "God Bless Our President," by the assembly, after which the speakers of the evening was presented in the person of Hon. J. A. Crainge. Mr. Crainge rose amid applause and in the course of his address he pointed out the fact that the age in which we now live is very serious, as regarding the black man and requires much forethought on the part of any one attempting to lead. When Mr. Crainge announced that he would read the President's message, wrist-silence pervaded Liberty Hall. At the close of the message cheers and more cheers were given, which registered the whole-hearted appreciation of the membership and friends of the L. N. I. A. A financial appeal was made; announcement; Ethiopian Ancestry; benediction by Dean R. Hoyen, of New Orleans; University. Everyone left Liberty Hall inspired and encouraged to do even more for the cause of the race. On Monday night, June 25, Liberty Hall gave again filled with a joyful crowd of merry-make. The Lions Military Club gave a military display. Too much cannot be said of Capt. Jones, who has charge of (this group) of clubmen some of the sold. Mr. Jones commanded them for their display of military tactics and invited them into the folds of the U. N. L. A. L. J. JONES BILLARD, Reporter. HAWTB4MCK, MICH. The Hampton, D.C. Division had a splendid, program Sunday, June 17. The principal speaker was Mr. Ketter, a native of West Africa. Meeting was opened, as usual, by the chapelman, Mr. T. T. Suttler. The new vice-president gave the opening remarks and also introduced Mr. Stringfellow, who made a spicy talk, right to the point. Then followed reading of The Negro World by Mrs. Shaw; congregational singing of "God Bless Our President"; Mr. Johnnie Vincent made a few remarks and also presented the Rev. J. B. Ford, our chapelman, who spoke with telling effect. We were then shown the pictures entitled "We Are Rising" and "We Have Risen." Mr. Suttles introduced the Principal speaker, Mr. W. J. Ketter, native of West Africa, who spoke on "The Influence of the U.N. L.A. in Liberia, West Africa." The New Haven Division, No. 38, U. N. L. A., though small in membership, is trying its very best to carry on the war which is on foot. It is a true and old saying, "A man may be down, but he is not out." This is the sprite that is exhibited in our division. Our regular mass meeting was called to order by the acting president, Mr. Rufus A. Rawlings, at 2:30 p.m. m. sharp, at the Masonic Hall, 76 Webster Street, with the opening-ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains;" followed by the organization's official prayer. After the opening exercises, the president offered a prayer for our great leader, the Hon. Marcus Gexley. The preamble of our constitution was read; the front page of The Negro World also was read by the general secretary, Mr. Charles Mills. Then followed a short address by Mr. Waiter Liburb, a visitor from New York City; his subject was "Follow Your Leader and Fear No Evil," which was received with rapt attention. Then a song, "Father of All Creation" short address by Mr. Anthony Skinner, "The Unshaken Faith"; plano solo by seven-year-old Miss Sylvia Ward; short address by Mr. Charles Clark, "Back Across the Atlantic." The general secretary, Mr. Charles Mills, who was sent to Newark Division as a delegate on Sunday, June 10, to watch their activities and wish them well for the cause we are all fighting for, made his report and was received enthusiastically. A vote of thanks was given to the brother. The president made his weekly announcements. The singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem marked the closing of a most enjoyable meeting. CHARLES H. MILLS, Reporter. SAVANNAH, GA. Sunday, June 17, was a great day for the Savannah, Ga., Division 986. Meeting was opened at its usual hour by Rev. G. C. Andrews, acting chaplain. Prayer was offered by Mr. Nathan Frazier. Another hymn was sung, after which our scripture lesson was read from the book of St. Matthew 1:15. The meeting was then turned into the hands of the first vice-president. The minutes of the last meeting were read by Mrs. Viola Sparks. The same were adopted as read. The front page of the Ngro World was read by Rev. G. C. Andrews. This great message coming from our leader was enjoyed by every one present. Our organizer in the person of Hon. J. A. Boltram made his farewell address. He has been laboring with us, for the past two months, but on account of ill health he has to make his departure. The alms and objects of the U. N. I. A. were explained by Hon. J. A. Boltram for the benefit of visitors. He is leaving for New York Tuesday, June 19. Division $60 will miss him very much. We hope for his speedy recovery.

Concentration of Press Ownership in the Hands of a Few a Real Menace The following article, which appeared in the "Nation," is of special interest to Negro World readers as throwing light upon the heightening magege of consolidation of newspaper ownership which is taking place both in the United States and Great THE CONTROL OF THE PRESS Every day brings fresh evidence of the international movement toward consolidation of newspaper ownership. In Great Britain whenever a paper is offered for sale it is at once offered to the Berry brothers, or to Lord Rothermere, or to Lord Beaverbrook. Last month Lord Rothermere bought the Derby "Telegraph" and its weekly, the "Reporter," while the Berry brothers purchased the "Express" and its weekly, the "Mercury." Even more striking was the recent sale of the Aberdeen newspapers, the "Press and Journal," the only morning newspaper published in the entire north of Scotland, and the "Evening Express" and the "Weekly Journal," to the Berry brothers. As the first two are virtually the only important newspapers in the upper part of Scotland, this gives the Berrys almost complete control of public opinion in that portion of the United Kingdom. The only competition is a Labor evening newspaper. Curiously enough, the sale of these Aberdeen papers was made to the Berrys, although Lord Rothermere's offer, was $1.50 per share higher. The Rothermere interests do not concede the validity of this sale at a lower price than they offered, and the matter may be taken to the courts. Politically, of course, it makes no difference which of the groups wins, for both are, like Lord Beaverbrook, Conservative. How long will it be before 80 or 90 per cent of the British dailies are owned by one of these two groups? They must be near the first figure now. Meanwhile, the Liberal press of Great Britain, is getting weaker, as was shown by the recent disappearance of that valuable daily, the "Westminster Gazette" so long and so easily edited by J. Alfred Spender. In announcing Rt. annalogization with the "Daily News" the management said that it hoped to achieve a circulation of a million readers. This, it declared, was essential to the proper well-being and influence of a daily journal in London—which tells the story of the way British newspapers, like the American, fight for more readers in order to gain more advertising in order to meet the constantly rising costs of production. It also explains the difficulty of starting a new daily in London and why it is that the Labor Party, with millions of voters, has only one struggling daily journal to uphold its cause. In this country-Frank E. Gannett by his purchase of the Rochester "Democrat and Chronicle" has added a fourteenth daily to his holdings. Only a few months ago he purchased the Hartford "Times," which has the largest circulation of any daily in New England outside of Boston. In purchasing the "Democrat and Chronicle" Mr. Gannett has obtained control of what goes during the Cleveland days, the most immediate daily, politically, in New York outside of New York City. Long the organ of its Prentice Hall, it maintained extremely high standards of editorial writing, and news reporting. In Mr. Gannett's hands it will be a member of a distictly liberal group of newspapers. No one, we think, will suggest that Mr. Gannett is extending his newspaper holdings for the purpose of controlling public opinion, either for personal prestige or for political power, but the fact remains that such chains are growing every day, and that the press of the country tends to concentrate in the hands of a comparatively small number of men. With amalgamations and discontinuities taking place every day and the difficulties of starting new newspapers almost insuperable, even for the very rich, it is hard to see how this tendency can be overcame. In Germany similar developments are recorded. Alfred Hungerberg, business man, and politician, owner of the leading news service, the leading moving picture company, one of the leading advertising agencies, and a long string of newspapers. Mr. Hungerberg was chairman of the board of directors of the Kupp Works during the war; he entered journalism in 1920 because the great industrial magnates of the LUCKY GOLDSTONE DRAWS THE MONEY LIKE A The LUCKY GOLDSTONE is causing a sensation.

He already owns dozens of newspapers outright and supplies no fewer than 1,600 newspapers with telegraphic news and even with editorial matter, which some of the weaker papers are glad to print in the absence of adequate local editorial writers. In five fields he has won in eight years a most alarming influence: movies, advertising and propaganda, national and international telegraphic service, the press of the capital and that of the provinces. He thus controls the news and controls opinion and he can specify whose picture shall be shown in thousands of movies and whose shall be excluded. It is, of course, not true that all of these eleven hundred newspapers take news only from Hugenberg; there is another competitive news service. But his indirect control of many of these newspapers is not to be questioned. Many have had to mortgage their plants to Hugenberg, buy their supplies from affiliated companies, and get their advertisements from him. Nor does his control and with the daily press; he has taken over several of the largest magazine publishing concerns in Germany. Is it any wonder that this "strong, silent man," who keeps himself in the background, is looked upon as a grave menace to the development of the country from the liberal point of view? Fortunately, the last German election, with its trend to the Socialists and democrats, shows that there is still independent thinking in that country, and that Mr. Hugenberg is not yet its press Kaiser. Perhaps everywhere concentration of newspaper ownership will be followed by a decline in its political influence. But the immediate peril remains. Archbishop of Canterbury LONDON, July 2.—A plea for calmness in facing the 'grave solemn occasion in the history of the Church of England' caused by the House of Commons' rejection of the revised prayer book was voiced today by the Archbishop of Canterbury, addressing a church assembly. The House of Commons vote, the venerable Archbishop said, "housed and violated" the well-proved work of Church and State. The Assembly, he said, must rally its whole strength to find some way out of its "besteing difficulties." "I cannot see," the Archbishop continued, "how the Church Assembly can be expected at the present time to offer a further praxebook measure to Parliament. No, measure would be non-controversial; it would be indefensible for us to omit the very parts in which our difficulty lies. "Neygrthless, the situation cannot be allowed to drift. The Church is responsible for ordering its own life. It is thrown back perforce upon administrative action by the Episcopate—receiving, we trust, the consent of the clergy and latty." Strange Oriental Woods Vie with U..S. Timber TACGMA. Wash.—Strange woods from the Oriental forests vie with American 'pine', hemlock, oak and maple for fine buildings today as never before, according to the manifests of incoming, cargoes of trapa-duchee ships. These woods are coming into regular use in certain phase of construction over the country. Some of their names like 'Jarrah or kauri pine are well known to the average carpenter. Others such as silky oak, tuart and wandoo are recognized only by professional timbermen. Tasmanian oak is recently used in a large building in Detroit, palustin and gurkin for floors in three Eastern banks. Mora, greenheart, purple-head, are used in colored pencil work and steamship tabbing. Exotic species being imported for fine homes include, atticin, obohonekwel, mukh, cruspo and greywood. The popular belief that May marriages are unlucky is widespread, being found in most European countries, according to an article in Nature. It was also the view of the Romans, who extended the period of ill luck to the first half of June. Other periods have also been regarded as unlucky or forbidden; for example, Lent, and the period between the Rogation days and the first Sunday, in Trinity; August in Siefly and France; July in Sardinia; between Passover and Pentecost among Jews. Marriages in the month of Moharam in Morocco and Egypt might entail death or madness. Certain days were also to be avoided. Marriages on the Sabbath was forbidden among the Jews, on Friday in the Mohammedan world, while in popular bodies certain days of the week were to be avoided; among others, Thursday in England, because of its connection with Thor; Tuesday and Friday in Italy, because curses are peculiarly officiacous on those days. Yet among Teutonfe peoples Tuesdays and Thursdays were favorite days for weddings, because they were connected with the deities Zlu and Donan. The Romans did not marry on calendrs, ides and nones, or on the dign parents (Feb. 13-21). Friday is almost universally regarded as unlucky in Christian countries. The avoidance in the north of Scotland of a waning moon, which will lead to a barren marriage, or a falling tide, is due to an obvious dearth of ideas, it is stated. Among people of a lower culture, the article says, marriage is regarded as a time of peculiar danger, and it is a widespread practice to assure its taking place at an auspicious time by means of consultation of omens. On the other hand, the occasions on which marriage is regularly avoided are those which are regarded as especially critical—that is, when the powers of evil are peculiarly potent. For this reason marriage is avoided in Macedonia between Christian and Epiphany. The month of May, although the month of fertility and growth, is also the month of the witch. It is the time when the powers of evil are supposed to be particularly active. Electric Ranges Decreed For Army Housewives WASHINGTON, June 28.— Army housewives who have been unrung with worn-out gas, wood and coal ranges are going to receive electric ranges. The War Department announced today that 1,200 electric ranges had been purchased and would be distributed to posts in the United States. Improved Farm Conditions Improved Farm Conditions WASHINGTON, June 28. — Colored farmers throughout the nation will be glad to learn that the Federal Farm Loan Bureau has virtually been reorganized by the new members of the Federal Farm Loan Board, to whom appeals have been made for a more liberal extension of rural credit to colored farmers. In its annual statement, issued last week, the Board declared: "Indications are seen of a turn in the title and farm values are gradually improving." While admitting that some of the farm banks had been mismanaged, with the result that three of them were thrown into the hands of receivers during the past year, the Board said that the farm loan system had demonstrated its soundness and usefulness. "The mistakes of the past must serve as lessons for the future," the report added.—C. P. B. INFORMATION WANTED Any one knowing the whereabouts of Hardier H. Oscar, a native of St. Lucia, B. W.

The news from the Tokio correspondent of La Tribune of Home that for over a month the Tokiwaa Theatre, in the Asakusa quarter of Tokik, had been crowded nightly by Japanese working-class folk anxious to see "Mussolini," a three-play play by Shimoi and Atakuei, has brought from the Japanese capital a description of the play and the information that there are no fewer than three plays rubbing in Japan with the same hero in evidence. The interest, which the authorities do not discourage, is said to be due to the fact that, while the personality of the Duce appends to the Japanese Imagination with its prototypes in the history of Nippon Japan, like Italy, also had a narrow escape from Bolshevism and has long been awaiting a leader from the people who would restore the dignity of the throne with work and discipline for the people. The first act of the Tokiwa-za play shows Mussolini as a refugee in Switzerland defending the rights of the people against speculators and protectors and studying in his garret while other political exiles are spending their time drinking in taverns. The second act shows the hero as editor of the Socialist Avante at Milan and his defying of his party by urging Italy to enter the war on the "Japanese side." What happened in the war is related in dialogue at the beginning of the third and last act; then come the failure of the general strike which was to annihilate Fascismo and the failure of the Facta Ministry, which was striving to do the same thing, and the rise of the middle class, overwhelming both radicals and reactionaries. The drama ends with shouts of "On to Rome!" The second play with the same (the is said to be enjoying an equal success at the People's Theatre at Osaka. The third Fosfista drama is called "The Duca," and in running at the Meiji-Prose Theatre of Tokyo. This work is by the noted writer, Kari Osanai. The role of Mussolini is played by Sadamiti, who has been described as Japan's greatest tragic actor. Chinese Actresses Must "Impersonate" Own Sex SHANGHAI, June 23. — Actressen, long excluded by the orthodox Chinese theatre, have a unique obstacle to overcome as a condition of their acceptance by the theatre-going public. Even in modern Shanghai, whee, in defence of long usage, they are beginning to be even rarer; they must learn to imitate the male impersonators of women who for generations have played all feminine roles on the Chinese stage. George Kim Leung, an outstanding Chinese dramatic critic, explained to an international audience that so firmly have male impersonators of women, such as the famous Mel Lan Fang, intrenched themselves that playgoers find their, dramatic standards outraged by women of the stage acting as women normally would. Therefore the ambitions actress must acquire the artificial songs sung falsely created by men who have usurped female roles. One actress who has won popularity advertises herself as a pupil of well-known actors who have starred in women's parts, and other young women are following her lead.

"LOVE'S COMING OF AGE" By Edward Carpenter COUPON NEGRO WORLD, 142 W., 130th St. New York City Enclosed and $ Send The Negro World for to Length of time Name of MEXICO CITY—The theory advanced that Orientalists played a prominent part in the history of the more cultured ancient peoples who inhabited parts of North America has apparently gained support. Evidence that Atlantis either lived in Mexico in ancient times or exercised a strong influence upon certain of the vanished races that inhabited this country long before the adventor of the white man is afforded by two of fifteen jade relics that have just been placed in the National Museum of Archaeology here. One of these mememtoes is a small head, about there, inches long. The face is characteristically Japanese. The eyes are oblique and the eyelids are heavy. The other relic is a plaque made of a hard mineral upon which had been etched the likeness of an ancient Zapotec priest whose face is of Oriental cast. These relics were discovered at Monte Alban, in the State of Oaxaca, in an ancient burial vault which had been broken open by the recent severe earthquakes. The relics were found among human bones which, however, crumbled to dust when they were touched by the excavators. As some of these relics bear evidence of having been affected by fire, it is believed that their owners met death on the sacrificial altars. According to Professor Raimon Mena, of the museum, these relics belong to the time of the ancient Zapotecan. The descendants of these people were described by the Spaniards as the most intelligent and powerful of any of the people they, encountered on the western hemisphere. Most of the relics were ornaments or articles of personal use. French Senate Sidetracks Woman Suffrage Measure JARIS, June—The vote for French women was once more refused by the Senate, today when Schauer, Louis Martin, champion of the women's rights, lost a vote motion to set aside July 6 for discussion of what he declared to be a needed reform in the electoral law. Strenuous lobbying had been going on for weeks and the galleries were packed with elegantly dressed women. But although the Chamber of Deputies had twice approved a bill giving the suffrage to women, the Senate decided by 176 to 128 not even to discuss the proposal. A public vote was demanded and an outburst occurred in the galleries when the result was proclaimed. The opposition was mainly on the left side of the Senate and is supported on the idea that women as voters would be influenced by the Church. For quite some time I have not heard from my brother, Milton Allene, I would indeed be glad for any information of him. If you wear SOCK with REHUMATISM, SCHAT- ICA, LUMBAGO, LANE BACK, GOUT.
