Fellowmen of the Negro Race, Greeting:
Once more the time has come for the American Negro to use his ballot wisely in the interest of domestic politics and supremely in the interest of the black race.
The Presidential Election
Another Presidential Election is to be held in November. Already the two larger parties have placed their respective candidates in the field. For President, the Republicans have Secretary Hoover, and the Democrats, Governor Al Smith. Between the two men, every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in America with a vote must decide for Al Smith, not because the Democratic Party has been more kindly disposed toward the Negro than
the Republic but because Hoover represents a gang of politicians who mean absolutely nothing good to the black man in merica, nor anywhere else, for that matter. herefore, if we have to choose between the two en, it is better for us to decide for Al Smith an Hoover.
Vote Against Hoover
Who is Mr. Hoover? Mr. Hoover is the candidate of a corrupt system of republicanism that exploited the country for the past eight rs—the system that gave us the Tea Pot and the Alien Fraud cases in which Harryugherty, the late Attorney-General, figured prominently; the same Daugherty under whose regime the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its Auxiliary Corporations were hounded and its President framed-up in the Federal District Court so as to dispose of his power and influence which could not be used by the gang to keep the Negro fooled in order to exploit him to serve big business interests. Isn't Mr. Hoover the friend of Mr. Firestone, who also acted as foster father to the Firestone Scheme to rob black Liberia? Isn't this the Mr. Hoover who supported Firestone so as to corner Liberia and take away her independence, the independence that was given to her by former white Presidents and American philanthropists as an experiment in Negro self-help? After other white men in American public life helped to establish Liberia

and made it a free Republic, this Mr. Hoover in this our present centur upon the scene to assist big Amer to reduce Liberia to slavery, the slavery from which Abraham Lincoln freed us in America in 1865. Mr. Hoover is a representative of big business men; business men without souls or consciences, big business men, like Firestone, who are always ready to invade and exploit the countries of the darker and weaker peoples of the earth.
Vote for Al Smith
There is absolutely no doubt that every intelligent and far-seeing Negro in America with a vote will cast it for Al Smith and pass over the name of Herbert Hoover, the man who represents nothing to the Negro but a return to slavery.
Clap-Trap of Republicans
I am warning the American Negro voter not to fall for the clap-trap of the Republican Party. They will tell you lots of things and promise you worlds which you will never obtain. They have fooled you from one Presidential Campaign to the next. Whenever the President is elected and gets into power he has a way of shunting the Negro, or in other words, "passing the buck." The time has come for the American Negro to call a halt on this passing-the-buck scheme. With a man like Al Smith as President, we may hope for much more from the Democratic Party than the race has ever received from the hypocritical Republican Party which serves nothing

Republicans and Negro Nationalism
The Republican Party has throttled two independent black Republics. They have throttled Haiti so that the National City Bank and other commercial interests can exploit the Black Republic of the West Indies. It is true that it was under Woodrow Wilson's regime that America assumed control of Haiti, but Woodrow Wilson never intended Haiti to be exploited as the Republican Party has done.
Vote for or Against a Party
The time has come for the Negro to unitedly vote for or against a party, either for or against an individual, and it is now time for every Negro to vote for Al Smith and for the Democratic Party so that we may expect something of service in return for the support given whole-heartedly. The time has come for the American Negro to have a policy in politics, therefore, I do not expect any Negro voter to allow himself to be cajoled by Republican agents to get his vote for the Republican Party for a man like Hoover, who means nothing to us as a people.
Smith Better Than Hoover
The slogan of the Universal Negro Improvement Association during the Presidential campaign must be "SMITH BETTER THAN HOOVER," and vote your conviction through the ballot box so that the next President of the United States will be a man of high principles, who will not allow himself to be influenced by his capitalistic friends to act in a way to exploit Negroes for personal gain.
Trusting that every loyal member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will campaign and vote for Al Smith, with very best wishes, I have the honor to be,
Your obedient servant.

MARCUS GARVEY.
Sir Lee Money, Alarmed at New Low Level of British Birth Rate, Says White Races Are Treading Path of Dyce—Envisages a Black Peril—Would Innoculate Colored Races With Birth Control Virus to Check Their Growth
(From The Literary Digest)
The ardent advocates of birth control in England, it is claimed by some, are not quite so sure of themselves as they were formerly, but, remark anxious observers of what is called "the twilight of the white race," their doubts have come too late. Thus attention is called to the amazingly low level of the birth-rate of England and Wales, which last year fell to 16.7 per thousand of the population, as compared with 24.1 in the year 1913.
A greatly concerned observer of this record is Sir Leo Chlozza Money, who expresses it as his conviction that not a single person in Britain ever imagined that so low a figure would be reached so soon. By nature, he tells us in the London Evening Standard, he is an optimist, yet, he points out, a reasonable optimism must have ground for existence, and he confesses he can see no redeeming feature in the unseemly haste with which the maze that ought to continue to lead the world are treading the "path of decay and surrender." He continues as follows:
"The ancient conception of warfare was to destroy the enemy nation. The bravery of war and peace in our time is that, while war is incapable of destroying the enemy, we preach in peace that salvation is to be sought in national self-immolation. The German having failed to destroy us, we are destroying ourselves. What, indeed, has priority done for us that we should concern ourselves with its entitlement?
"We shall do, well to regard the population question as more than a national issue. It is a racial issue which is intimately bound up the future leadership, composition, and color of the world. All the white nations are infected with the same disease. The white population of the world numbers no more than one in three of the whole, and we are threatened with a great decline of the white populations—a decline both relative and natural.
The decline and fall of the Empires of the Whites thus becomes a possibility in a future by no means remote, for the stepping of population is increasing with an incredible rapidity. Challenges marriages are being followed by the increasing refusal of men to my emancipated women. How, will the decline of the white lies be met in relation to the terms of peace and war? What is to be done, and what will follow upon them?
"The case of France is full of instruction. France imports white men to meet the necessities of her peace economy, and trains black men with a view to the battles of the future. The southwest corner of France is being repopulated with Italians, but that is a process which can not go on forever, because the Italian birth-rate is also falling. In all the great French Empire outside France there are only some 1,300,000 white people. The French budget provides for a considerable establishment of black soldiers, numbering 160,000. So we see a great white riot, which has failed to maintain itself by virtue of its own increase, taking the terrible and far-reaching step of building up a great African army of mercenaries. Some of them, as we know, were actually employed to occupy German territory."
If we consider that this is a peculiar case, Sir Lloyd goes on to any, and that other white nations are not likely to follow such an example, it must nevertheless be remembered that the British brought Indian soldiers to fight on the fields of France because they were driven by the necessities of a desperate case, and, "desperate ones recur." It is unfortunately impossible, he aaves, to rule out the possibility of the introduction into Europe of calorized laborers to take the

place of an unborn white generation because—
Colored Troops and Labor
"When a nation has grown accustomed to the use of colored mercenary troops it is not a very big step to the employment of indentured colored laborers. The world at large has afforded already too many examples of the process of garnering wealth with the aid of colored labor forces recruited from afar. Consequent racial and political problems of an insoluble character are scattered about the world. There appears to be no limit to the possibility of human folly in this particular matter.
"Take the case of the United States. It was not considered had enough to contemplate the existence within American borders of the 12,000,000 Negroes and mulattoes descended from the human corpses carefully shipped from Africa in civil far-off days. It was not amused that this colored population was segregated in the Southern States. America must need place a ban upon white immigration, and thus, through the shortage of labor created in her Northern cities, build up in each great industrial town a Negro quarter: "In face of this choice example of incredible folly, who will be bold enough to say that the coming shortage of white populations in Europe will not be supplemented by colored importations? It is a shorter journey from North Africa to France than from Kentucky to Buffalo.
"Whatever happens in that regard, we have to anticipate with certainty a Europe seriously reduced in numbers, and perforce compelled to lay down world leadership. The European emigrations will entirely cease. The industry and wealth of Europe will contract, both from lack of consumption and from the lack of initiative that goes with decadence. The British Empire will necessarily disappear, for there will not be enough white blood to maintain
Little Hope Outside Europe
Turning his eyes toward the white world outside Europe, Sir Lee asks whether one may look to the British Dominions or to America to take up what Europe resigns? As far as the Dominions are concerned, he advises us that we face the fact that in the whole of the British Empire outside the United Kingdom, in 1925, there are hardly more than 18,000,000 white men, women and children, and that "these are adding to their numbers very slowly." We read then:
"There is no certain ground for believing that the population of the United States, which is now almost one-fourth the size of that of Europe, and includes a proportion of colored people (one in nine), will be maintained. The birth rate of America is falling and will fall, while white immigration from Europe, which so rapidly built up her heterogeneous people in the past, will not need to be kept in bounds by a quota law, there will be no European immigrants to select."
"From time to time we have talked of a Yellow Peril. What did it amount to, this talk, but that the Yellows would learn to use modern arms and, by sheer weight of numbers, conquer the whites? What was meant by conquer? The conception, obviously, was one of the harbous destruction of the whites. It will be perceived that such carnage is becoming entirely unnecessary as a means of conquest.
"The same end is appointed to take place quite bloodlessly by the will of the white peoples themselves, who gladly hall as saviors those who preach the alluring gospel of going without children as the shortest cut to better times.
"It would appear, therefore, that having taught the colored races so many things without earning anything remarkable in the way of gratitude, we might possibly consider the advisability of insulting them also with the doctrine which has so successfully brought the question of declining population within the scope of practical policies."
U. S. Policy Toward China
WASHINGTON, July 21.—The cornerstones of American policy toward the Nationalist Government of China from all indications today will be found to be that do justice recognition will be extended when the Nationalists have shown that they are capable of affording adequate protection to American nationalists and property in China, and that if the present so-called unequal treaties are oblagated they must be supervised by new ones under orderly process.
The State Department declined today to comment on the demand of Chairman Porter of the House Foreign Affairs Committee for provision of the treaties, but it is known that the whole question has been under close observation by Secretary Kelley since the Southern Chinese forces extended their control to Peking. It is generally assumed that when he has reached definite conclusions and feels the proper time has come, he will agree the collapse of the American government in defiance terms.

REPUBLICAN ACTS IN PHILIPPINES EXCITE DISTRUST
Determination Seen to Withhold Independence from Islanders in interest of Wall Street—Governor Stimson Tries to Calm All Fears
WASHINGTON. July 17.—Administration critics interpret demands of Governor General Stimson for revision of the Philippine land and corporation laws as additional proof that the Republican party has no intention of acting on the independence pledge given the islands by the Jones law. Stimson's appeal was made at the opening of the island Legislature, and was published by the War Department here today.
This appeal is used by Democrats in commending on the failure of the Republican platform of last month to commit the party on the future of the islands, as evidence that American capital is planning large scale exploitation of the Philippines under indefinitely prolonged American rule. The Democratic platform declared for immediate independence.
Corporations Claim Holdings Are Too Small
The present limit on the size of land holdings is objectionable to American corporations, which claim that larger land units are required for profitable development. This applies especially to rubber and sugar.
Stimson was formerly Secretary of War, and latterly President Coolidge's special representative to Nicaragua to arrange for peaceful elections under American marines. He was appointed successor to the late General Leonard Wood last winter. His present demands are in line with the Wood policy, to which the native lenders objected.
Is Like Early America's
In opening the native Lechstature, Stimson directly attacked charges of critics that his program would enable American capital "to institute economic serfdom" of the Filipino people. "It would be hard to conceive a more serious error," he said.
"By exciting an unfounded fear, these critics would block the only avenue toward economic and, therefore, political independence of these islands. "The Philippine islands today stand in much the same economic situation as the United States stood 140 year ago. We in America were the posers' of the boundless resources of a great continent. But we were poor and lacked means to develop those resources.
"We borrowed freely from Europe, including many countries with whose political institutions we had no sympathy and even held in profound distrust. Is America in economic serfdom today?"
There are two other major planks in the Stimson platform which are objectable to the Filipinos.
One is a proposal to deduct $125,000 annually from the money which for years the United States government has been turning over to the Philippine government for it to apportion. This action, according to the natives, implies a lack of confidence in the insular government, and is an additional step toward bringing the islands completely under American rule.
The other program is for the appointment of governors of the Moro Mohammedan provinces by the American Governor General without the consent of the Philippine Senate. This also is opposed on the ground that it decreases Filipino home rule.
At the request of Stimson both of these proposals were introduced as bills in the United States Congress. They failed to pass in the last session because of Democratic and Progressive opposition. Fedro Guavara, Philippine resident Commissioner here, then issued a statement that: "Congress once more has shown in an unequivocal way its devotion to the people's will, and this friendly attitude will undoubtedly strengthen the faith of the Filipines in America." In a Scripps-Howard interview in San Francisco on the eve of his departure for Manila after a long illness, Manuel Quezon, who is president of the society, said:
"As a result of this uncertainty as to their present and future status the Filipinos are discontented and the economic development of the islands is being retarded to that extent. If we are to have independence, let us have it now; if we are to remain under the American flag, let us know under what terms, whether as a protectorate, a domination or some other form of home rule."
End of Nicaraguan War In a Few Months Seen
WASHINGTON. July 11.—The marines in Nicaragua hope to reach the end of their campaign against General Sandino within a few months.
Latest reports received at the Navy Department say that the insurgent leader and his band are practically surrounded by the American forces in northern Nicaragua between the Coco and Bocay Rivers. Surrender or sight to Nicaragua are looked for.
A campaign of "pocketing" the band is being pursued. Marine officers say that Sandino has been isolated from his sources of supplies, either by the American troops or by the impenability of the jungle trails, brought on by the rainy season. It is thought that the only food to reach him is being sent down the Bocay and Guzguite Rivers.
To the Editor of the Negro World: Kindly permit me space in your great essay to appeal to the race at large for its prowol and beneficial support for Liberty University, of which I am a student. I have finished my first term at this splendid institution, and want the mothers and fathers of our race to know that Liberty University, at Cincinnati, Va., is the applicant school in the world for our boys and girls. I am proud to say that I am looking forward to the fall opening with pleasure. Last year I made many friends from different States, whose companionship I deeply cherish. Professor Robinson and the faculty give special attention to the development of the students. I am appealing to the members of the U. N. I. A. to support the school, and to Negro mothers and fathers to send their children there, where they can be fitted for the great leadership which our race will demand in another ten years. I am a student sent by the Kinston, N. C. division, and my community is provider of me than before I entered Liberty University. Let everybody support the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and make Liberty University the greatest school in the world.
You're truly.

SOME PLAIN TALK TO THE INTRUDER IN BLACK AFRICA
European Official's 'Empire Day' Exhortation Brings Sharp Rejoinder from African Newspaper — Awakened Africa Will Regain Her Birthright
(From the Gold Coast Spiritor)
We have an exclusive and absorbing interest in the news which reaches us from Obusai, where it is alleged that a certain European, in delivering an address on Empire Day, exhorted the natives to remember that whatever Africans will achieve in intellectual capacities or in other fields of knowledge, they will never be able to become equals of the white man, and that Africans should always remember.
It must be marked
its delivered on a
us rapprochement.
was being foted for a better cohesion of the different limbs of the British Empire. At a time, too, when parents had gone to some expense in accounting their children to appear respectable at the fete, and when the natives are emptying every penny from their pursues to meet taxation—direct and indirect—to pay the salary of this gentleman. For him to be so sneering as a Voltaire at the African, and to have the face of an army to speak thus to his auditors, when his livelihood depends upon the sweat of the African, is to call upon him public indignation.
Let us suppose that the statement has some truth in it; war, it not glaringly out of tune to have delivered it on this particular occasion?
We do not pretend to know what this gentleman is or is not, and what are his particular attachments. He wants yet to learn that his present office can be appropriately discharged by an African with ordinary intelligence. "Say better things or keep quiet" is one of the rules of discourse in good society.
We have taken particular note of this profoundly significant pronouncement because it is recurring to our mind that this has been the universal belief of the western world. But whether they believe it or not it is nevertheless true that the brain of the African has equal retentive power, if not more, as that of the white man. Given equal opportunities, the African can hold his own in the world of achievements. To him, these constant inventions and discoveries have no fatal fascination and dread. What depth of thought is used to materialize these inventions, is by no means deeper than that of the African, and the most intricate machinery, inasmuch as it is brought forth by a human brain, will not be insuperable to the African when he has been given the same opportunity as the white inventor. If political officers wish to foster good will between the government and the people, they should speak by the card to the African, because he is no less a man than the white man.
Perhaps there was a time when the ignorance of the African was sacrificed to such lignis of words. Today, the African looks at those days with the same air as one copitates over the biblical expression, "And there were giants in those days." Today, the African is conscious of his manhood, and of his birthright: a birthright which must and will be reinstated, be it ever so late in the face of the strength of all legislation to resist the growth of the African.
Vatican Likens Mexico To Despotism of Nero
ROME, July 11.—The Conservators Bureau, official National organ, in an editorial today, says that what is now happening in Mexico what need to happen in Rome under Nero when the Christians were awoken of setting fire to the city as an excuse for massacring them afterward.
The newspaper stigmatizes the crime of Oregon's murder, but protects the assertion that it was inspired by religious sentiment, and refuses the accusation that the crime was investigated by the Mexican Episcopacy.
PERRY W. HOWARD INDIGTED, HINTS POLITICAL PLOT
Blames Pre-Election Indictment on "Lily White" Opponents in Mississippi — Suspended from Duty by Attorney General Sargent
WASHINGTON, July 17.—The Federal Government today suspended Perry W. Howard, Negro Republican National Committeeman from Mississippi, an attorney for the Department of Justice, and James W. Hubbard, Deputy United States Marshal for the Southern District of Mississippi. Both were indicted in Biloxi, Miss. on the charge of having received $1,500 as payment for an appointment to the United States Marshals office.
This is the first direct result of the inquiries by the Department of Justice and the subcommittee of the Senate Postoffice Committee into the alleged barringing of patronage in Southern States.
Howard was arraigned here today on complaint of United States Attorney Leo S. Rover, on telegraphic advice from Mississippi. He pleaded not guilty before United States Commissioner H. C. Turnage and was released in $2,000 ball. He was charged with conspiracy to violate the law prohibiting the sale of federal offices and of receiving $1,500 for the appointment of A. P. Russell as a Deputy United States Marshal for the Southern District of Mississippi. He was ordered to appear at Jackson, Miss., on November 5.
Blames "Lily White" Opponents
Howard said after his suspension that he was being made a martyr to the cause of Negro leadership. He blamed the indictment on his "illy white" opponents in Mississippi politics and asserted that he had no knowledge of the cause of the indictment.
Howard, Hubbard and others were indicted as the result of charges presented to the Grand Jury in Bloxol. Miss., following an investigation by Mrs. Willebrandt. Assistant Attorney General. The inquiry which produced the charges was initiated by George L. Sheldon, former Governor of Nebraska, now living in Mississippi, who heads the "illy white" faction which for years has sought to oust the group of Negroes from Republican control in that State.
The Senate subcommittee delayed its investigation into the sale of federal offices in Mississippi; pending action by the Grand Jury. It has power to investigate the bartering of all federal patronage and intends to resume its investigation in the Shuthern States very soon.
The committee has received reports of alleged widespread misconduct in the appointment of postmasters in nearly every Southern State. It was said today that these reports indicated a very serious situation in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and Texas. The charges sent to the committee in letters, if verified, it was stated, would bring very sensational developments which might lead to many indictments.
Some members of the House, it was alleged in the reports received by the committee, had taken part in postoffice transactions which were being criticized.
Six Plead Not Guilty
BILOXI, Miss., July 17. As a parade of witnesses passed through the Federal Grand Jury room here to add to the accumulation of evidence relating to alleged trafficking in patronage by State Republican leaders, interest shifted from what was happening behind the closed doors of the jury chamber to open court, where six of the asian parsons thus far indicted were arraigned for plea.
His arraignment was accepted by Sidney E. Redmond. Negro attorney of Jackson, as an occasion for a broadside at his political enemies, whom he charged with bringing about the indictment of himself, his brother, A. M. Redmond, Scott Hubbard, Deputy United States Marshal, and Ed L. Patton, Negro Republican leader. The four, with Perry W. Howard, Negro National Committeesman and Special Assistant Attorney General, are charged with obtaining $1,500 for the appointment of A. P. Russell to the Southern District Marshal's force last year.
Redmond succeeded in obtaining an order from Judge Holmes transferring the cases against himself, his brother and Patton to the Jackson district for trial at the Novembar term of court. Hubbard, in entering a plea or not guilty, raised no objection to trial herge J. C. Tannhill, former Marshal of Bummerall, and William A. Miller. Postmaster at Wiggris, indicted jointly with Patton in connection with the appointment of Miller, also pleaded not guilty.
Invents Giant Telescope To Scan "Cities of Mars"
PARIS—In ten years may be known the answer to one of the most popular and the most debated of all astronomical questions, whether the planet Mars is inhabited or not, by means of a giant telescope ten times more powerful than any other now.
Professor G. W. Bickler, astronomer of the world's greatest telescopes, the 90 and 100 refractors of Mount Wilson Observatory, in California, believes that his new reflector, on which he has been working in Earth for two years, will make science of a magnitude "W cities exist on Mars." Professor Hutley said, "we shall go there with the new telescope."
WEST AFRICAN VISITOR ENTHUSES WITH CHEERING REPORT OF WORK IN MOTHERLAND FOR THE CAUSE
Says Natives of West Africa Are Equipped for Self- Government and Are Demanding Their Inalienable Right to Order Their Own Affairs—Courage, Determination and Loyalty Will Settle the Vexed Negro Problem
WEST AFRICAN CONGRESS DOING GOOD WORK
Hon. E. B. Knox and Hen. Mme. M. L. T. de Mena Deliver Eloquent Addresses—Mr. Knox Dwells on the Inestimable Boon Hon. Marcus Garvey Gave to the Race in New Consciousness and Self-Pride
LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday Night. July 22.—A crowded hall listened with rapt attention tonight to eloquent and inspiring discourses by the Hon. E. B. Knox, Dr. Asapansa Johnson, of West Africa, and Hon. Mme. M. L. T. de Mena until well past midnight, again attesting the firm hold which Garveyism has taken of their minds and hearts.
Dr. Johnson was given a great hand as he expressed his appreciation of the work of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A., and in an address on the African problem in West Africa showed how the intelligent leaders were so shaping their fight for freedom and independence as to dovetail with the efforts of the matchless leader of the U. N. I. A. to build on the continent of Africa a government for Negroes. Mr. Knox delivered a thoughtful address on race pride and race consciousness, so thoroughly instilled in the race, he said, by the Hon. Marcus Garvey as completely to revolutionize the thought and outlook of Negroes the world over. Mme. de Mena, styling Mr. Garvey as "the comfortor," bade the membership be of good cheer and continue to rally stoutly to the support of the organization. Miss Constance Lytton, a student of Liberty University, made a brief plea for support for that institution, which, she said, was doing a noble work.
DR. JOHNSON'S ADDRESS
Dr. Anapana Johnson, a native of Sierra Leone, West Africa, speaks as follows: "Friends and countrymen, I think the very first thing I should do tonight is to thank very sincerely the Hon. Mr. Knox and Mrs. de Mena for the very kind reception which they have given me prior to this evening. They tell us in Africa you are dead; they tell us the Universal Negro Improvement Association no longer exists, and I came here with that idea—not altogether dead but that you are moribund, but I say to you tonight from what my eyes have seen and my ears have heard—are you dead? (Laughter and cries of 'No.') You are not dead. You are not only living but you are living an active life and if there have been setbacks and drawbacks I think those getbacks and drawbacks have only some to make you stronger men and women, have only come to make you a more virile race.
The Spirit of the Changed Times
The cordial invitation extended by your distinguished leader in America to a son of the old country, mother Africa, to speak to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is an indication of the spirit of the times, that the age-long and age-worn barriers, whereby the Negro of the United States desplays his brother of Africa, is giving way to the only natural and logical conclusion, that the African, wherever he may be found, whether he is a denizen of the cities in Africa or in the jungles in Africa, whether he be found to be a solourper or a citizen of the United States or the West indies, whether he halls from the mutaby swamps of Senegambia or the arid wastes of the Sahara, whether he be found on the cliffs of Greenland or on the banks of the voluptuous Ganges, that wherever he is found he is an African, he is a brother and we are all brothers. (Applause.)
The African Problem
If my talk to you this evening can be the means of helping you, can be the means of putting added life into you to further your noble cause. I would have accomplished something. I have been asked to speak on the African problem and its solution. I must confess, friends and countrymen, that this subject is so rich and varied that it will take me a series of speeches to bring before you most vividly the African problem and its solution, because it comprises the ideas and ideals of a people of about three hundred millions. And so with the permission of your distinguished leader I have decided to speak on the African problem as regards West Africa, and even there I shall only skim the surface because it would require a series of speeches to visualise the problem as it concerns us in West Africa.
Problems are Eternal
"Every nation has its problem; every race has its problem, and as long as the world faces, as long as there is a man on the face of the earth, there shall be problems to solve, but, Mr. President, the greatest and most difficult of the races of the world belongs to the Negro race. The Negro has the greatest problem to solve—deprived, downtrodden, segregated, regarded as the scum of the earth, the inferior being of creation, considered fit only as hewers of wood and drawers of water. But times have changed. Threes are changed and we change with them.
"The Stormous Sublusion"
"There was a time in the history of those United States when preachers of the Gospel, doctors of divinity, theologians of no mean repute would ground the pulpit and try to teach their members that the Mage was not a good man; that he was holy man, half brave, and therefore it was fair to enshrine him. But the times are changed. He was wrong once to assert that the Mage is half man."
half brute, unless that man is feeble minded. Because of the changing tugs, because of the advancement of education, because of the advancement of science, this race of ours, this race that Herodotus apoke of us 'The blameless Ethiopian, we have not been guilty of other men's blood, is walking from sleep, fitting itself to take its place with the other nations of the world in the onward march of civilization and progress.
Common Ground
"The African problem differs but very little from the American problem. The difference is you say you are citizens of the United States; we say you are British, but we do not call citizens—we are Britons of His Majesty King. You are citizens—you this we agree—we agree that we are afflicted with the same sickness. African at home and the Negro America have been suffering the sleeping sickness; but we have be cured. We have awakened. The skill of captives is now giving way to morning's dawn, and we are prepared to back in the morning's glory, and unfettered as our brethren of white and yellow races.
On and On
Dr. Johnson then mentioned the different nations which now hold p. of West Africa and declared that Ishik West Africa and Liberia had it the greatest advance politically intellectually. Referring to his Sierra Leone, he told how the leaders were getting more and recognition in the council chair. He referred to the formation of National Congress of British Africa, which was now demand the British elected representati the Legislative Council. The
were thoroughly qualified to play a important part in their political affairs and they were determined to go on and on until first they secured status similar to Australia, Canada and other units of the British Empire. But it was not their intention to stop there, as his hegers knew full well. What the psychologists called the "interiority complex" was no longer present in Africa, and Africans were determined to take their rightful place in human affairs.
Aim to be a Nation
Continuing, the speaker said, "Our aim is to be a nation. When we have realized our aims we shall be in a position to contribute our quota to

"As Goes China, So Goes Asia, and Perhaps the World"
—Drama of Human Destiny Is Being Played in China—Asia's Awakening Most Momentous of the Age
(From the New York World, July 23)
"The United States should recognize the Chinese Nationalist movement at once," the Rev. John Haynes Holmes declared in his sermon yesterday morning on "The Uprising of Asia: Will It Save or Wreck the World?" at the Community Church, Park avenue and Thirty-fourth street.
ism and imperialism. The world has seen these forces before, but never in such fatal combination.
"What it all came to is disaster, as seen in the Great War. We now know that if this war is not to be repeated as a final cataclysm of ruin there must be fashioned a new social order in which these forces will be absorbed or transmitted to influences friendly and not hostile to the world."
"China lies at the very heart of the Asiatic movement today." Mr. Holmes asserted. "As goes China in the next ten or twenty years, so goes Asia, and perhaps the world. Every friendly and helpful and peaceful influence should be granted her. To block her, thwart her, oppose or fight her, will be a fatal policy. What happens to China at this moment may save or wreck the world forever."
Mr. Holmes prophesied that the historian of the future may interpret the present awakening of Asia, particularly of China, as the most momentous event of the present age—more important in the destiny of mankind upon this planet than the Great War, or the Russian Revolution, or the passing of world power from Europe to America.
What is central in the world situation is the ironical circumstance that the East is entering suddenly today upon an experience which the West has been undergoing through a period of some 400 years. With the break-up of medieval feudalism there came a new ordering of our Western life in terms of nationalism. This was a necessary stage of social evolution and might have been a wholly beneficent one. But it was accompanied by developments which were fatal. Three forces became dominant in our Western nations — materialism, industrial-

is the solution? The solution is this:
Courage, determination, loyalty. Courage
to carry on, determination to do
the right thing at the right time, loyalty
to a principle, loyalty to the truth,
loyalty to the Association."
Concluding, he said, "Africa's day is at hand. No human strategy or device is bringing the world and even one on African himself) to a realization of led the fact that that man can man that the African is strongive deep and potential; the African is a superb specimen of the Great Creator; and that destiny much-maligned, much-oppressed liberty of ours will yet so shape its destiny and so grapple with the lemms of the age in which we live the gold the nations of the world, small, darling great, will have to reckon with a glorious record to us the rights and of daughters who shall and Nature provide when with

Lord of our life and God of our salvation, Star of our night and hope of every nation, Hear and receive the Negro's supplication, Lord God Almighty! (Loud and prolonged applause.)

ism and imperialism. The world has seen these forces before, but never in such fatal combination.
"What it all came to is disaster, as seen in the Great War. We now know that if this war is not to be repeated as a final cataclysm of ruin there must be fashioned a new social order in which these forces will be absorbed or transmitted to influences friendly and not hostile to the race. Such influences, for example, as Jesus offered to the world 2,000 years ago."
Mr. Holmes asked his congregation whether or not the future story of China was to be a duplication of the European story.
Sinistar Features Dominant "Are we going to solve our problem of a next World War, only to have a war come sweeping down upon us in a flood of final ruin from the hosts of Asia?" he continued. "Japan has already taken the West as the model for her new nationalism, and all the familiar and sinister features of militarism, industrialism and imperialism are dominant in the land of the Mikado.
"China today is standing as the cross-roads. In her great reformer Sun Yat Sen, we see an influence freer, nobler, more enlightened than Japan has ever known. His spirit in that far country seems like that of Lincoln. But in the war-lords and their armies we see the familiar signs of Western nationalism. China is entering today upon the road that Europe entered three centuries ago. Militarism, industrialism, imperialism are on the way. If these emerge, if these do with the vast population of China what they have triumphantly done with the peoples of Europe, the end is certain. In China is being played the drama of human death."
Talks at Liberty Hall inspiring address of the previous speaker she could not refrain from saying a few words.
Have Pledged Themselves
"The comforter has come," she declared in ringing tones, referring to the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and the audience cheered her to the echo. "We mean to build a government of our own. We that gather in Liberty Hall throughout the world from time to time are determined to proceed through thick and thin. We have pledged our devotion to a principle, to one God, one Aim, one Destiny, and nothing between heaven and hell shall thwart the settled purpose of the new and awakened Negro. Economic stress will not deter us or make us falter, for when we hunger we shall fight on the more vices is calling to the Negro of the Western world and we are determined to answer and press on to the goal."
The speaker then referred to the reported intention of the Belgians to put 200,000 natives to work on a task of exploitation in the Congo, and the new Negro was warning the Belgian that the atrocities of Leopold would not be repeated with impunity.
Preparing for 1929
She ended by exhorting her hearers to do their utmost and support the organization to the full while the Hon. Marcus Garvey was away in Europe fighting the cause of the Negro and laying the foundation for the most startling and epochal convention in history, in 1929.

vey. Consciousness was a form of mental activity; race pride may be paraphrased by the term "an elevated self-respect." Those words very accurately explained the condition that the famous leader had brought about in the Negro race.
Wondrous Spirit in Evidence
Continuing, Mr. Knox said he rejoiced, to find that from every indication that wondrous spirit of enthusiasm that characterized the organization in the early days of 1919 and 1920 had returned. He was pleased beyond measure to note that while the Hon. Marcus Garvey was in Europe the organization had taken on new life, and the world was getting a new vision of Garveyism. The ties that bind the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association were becoming stronger and stronger every day. Clearly fixed in the people's minds is what the end will be. They have confidence enough in the Hon. Marcus Garvey to know he will not stop until he reaches that goal for which he has set out with millions of Negroes behind him.
Why and the Wherefore
Why and the Wherefore
And the Hon. Marcus Garvey has been able to achieve great things there is a great promise of brilliant things simply because he has been able to engender in the Negro self-pride and race consciousness of a very high order. Before the Hon. Marcus Garvey came people were wondering just what was going to be the outcome of the Negro people of the world. Some had lost all confidence in the future because of the way things were going. All the leaders of any consequence seemed to be headed in the opposite direction to that they ought to be going. The Negro was ashamed at being a Negro and many were seeking to find some means of escape from identification with the race. But the advent of the great modern teacher, with his wonderful lessons of self-help and faith and pride had wrought a revolution. Today black men and women were proud of their color. Today black men and women felt they were capable of achieving the highest and beat, and not only did they feel so, but they were translating their newly found faith and belief into reality. Pledged to forever abide by the major principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, they were pressing on along the story road to nationhood, determined that the situation and the condition which threatened to engulf them inescapably a few years ago shall never return to plague and harass the next generation.
Glimmered the Word "Negro"
Today black men no longer shudder
at the mention of the word "Negro,
for, under Garvey, it has taken on dig-
ality and a new meaning. The story
goes, said Mr. Knox, that the name
"Cicero" was given to the great Roman advocate in his tender years because of a dent in his face, and he vowed that, instead of a reproach, he would make the name "Cicero" respected by all men, and today Muncio-
kal has a picture of the immortal Cicero on his desk at Rome, just as he, the American leader of the Univer-
nal Negro Improvement Association, had a picture of the Men. Marcus Garvey facing him during his daily task at his desk. Marcus Garvey had
gried the word Negro by the simple expedient of bringing the race a new consciousness and pride in self.
After reviewing the palmstaking and courageous manner in which the Men. Marcus Garvey had accomplished the revolution of the thought of the New
world, Mr. Knox ended by expressing
the hope that the membership, not only

9 SLAIN AND 46 INJURED IN INDIAN STRIKE RIOTS
Police Attacked Routing Rail Workers Lying on Tracks
MADRAS, British India, July 21. Nine are dead and forty-six injured as a result of rioting in a strike of railway employees here. All the deaths and twenty-four of the injuries took place when the police forcibly removed strikers who had placed themselves across the tracks of an approaching express train.
The police intervening were attacked by a crowd which wielded axes and crowbars. The attackers finally fled before a fusillade of shots. Twenty-two other strikers were injured near Villupuram, where a bayonet charge was made by police, after the men burned the station, tore up the tracks and began to cut the telegraph wires and disable locomotives standing in the yards.
Meanwhile reports of other disturbances and of a threatening attitude of the strikers are being received from all points along the railway system in this district. Tracks in many places have been torn up, while two railway stations have been burned.
It is reported that the Ceylon mail train, while proceeding to Madras, was wrecked at Budalay by an obstruction on the line. At Mayavaram the police fired on strikers, causing several casualties. While Europeans and Anglo-Indians are maintaining limited service of trains in this city, motor trucks filled with armed police patrol the streets, while regular troops are holding themselves in readiness to quell serious disorders.
Turkey Scraps Old Titles; 'Pasha' Yields to 'General'
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 18.—New Turkey has decided to scrap all the old official titles left over from the old regime beginning with the highest military title, "Pasha," which henceforth will be "General."
President Mustapha Kemal's name will thus be Westernized to General Ghazl Mustapha Kemal instead of the old form Mustapha Kemal Pasha.
Air Line from Brussels To the Belgian Congo
BRUSSELS--The Belgian Government is planning an air line 5,400 miles long to connect Brussels with the Belgian Congo, with extensions to London and all parts of Europe and with the railway to Capetown via Broken Hill. It is expected that the air line will bring Capetown a week nearer London.
WASHINGTON. July 18. — The American people are spending approximately $2,000,000 annually more for chewing gum as each year goes by. Back in 1926 they spent only $44.117,121, a report issued today by the Department of Commerce said, but in 1937 this figure had mounted to $58.618,271.

New Tangiers Accord Signed for Four Powers
PARIS, July 17.—A new agreement for the international control of the Tangiers Zone was initiated today at the Qual d'Orsay by rep. sentatives of France, Spa., Great Britain and Italy. This accord, which relates chiefly to the reorganization of administrative details in this zone, is important mainly because it restores harmony among the nations involved and has resulted in Italy's assuming an active part. Because they felt that they had received an inferior status in the administration of the accord of 1923, the Italians refused to appoint officials to take seats in the Tangier Municipal Council or to participate in any way in the government. The new accord gives Italy an additional seat in the council, another administrator and an Italian magistrate in the Tribunal.
Spain, at whose instance the present negotiations were begun, also obtain concessions in the post of Inspector of Police, who will have a French assistant, and also the post of Commander of the Gendarmerie, with a French assistant.
With the exception of these minor alterations, the letter and spirit of the Tangiers Agreement of 1923 remains unaltered.

BAHAMAN LEGISLATURE AND GOVERNOR CLASH
Re-election of House After It Defied Executive Causes Constitutional Crisis
NASSAU, Bahamas, July 17—A constitutional crisis has arisen in this ancient and loyal British colony. In January the House of Assembly passed an Out Islands Improvement bill, which was then transmitted to the Legislative Council in the usual manner.
The Council on second reading decided to defer consideration of it until the Appropriation bill was sent up, as it considered that the sum of £21,800 which it was proposed to spend in the development of the Out Islands could not be entertained until the financial condition of the colony was known In April, on the recommendation of the Out Islands Improvement Committee, the £21,800 was included in the Appropriation bill, which was duly passed on May 17 and sent to the upper house.
The Legislative Council, condemning the policy of inserting in the bill certain items which it had had no opportunity of discussing, then passed the Out Islands bill and amended the Appropriation bill by striking out the clauses relating to the Out Islands.
At the Council Chamber on June 5 the Speaker of the House of Somby submitted various bills for the governor's assent, but emitted the Out Islands bill. The governor then asked whether the bill had passed both houses. The Speaker, relying on his privileges, refused to say, whereupon the governor asked the Speaker and members to meet him on the following evening.
The denouncement came on June 6, when the governor, addressing the Speaker, who again attended at the Council Chamber with the members of the House of Assembly, said that the Out Islands bill had been returned to the House with other bills brought forward for assent, and that he could only surmise that it was being withheld without any constitutional reason. He then progruded the Legislature and announced that the prorogation would be followed immmediately by a dissolution. Three days later he left Nassau on leave, and the Hon. A. C. Burns was sworn in as Acting Governor. Writs of election were issued promptly. The "dead" House handed

itself into a party and presented itself to the people on the same ticket. The elections, concluded today, resulted in the return of the old House to office, with the exception of four members who did not seek re-election.
Baldassare to Aid Sandino
LA PAZ, Bolivia, July 22.—The newspaper, "El Norte," says it has learned that Major Sebastian Baldassare, of the Argentine Army, who escaped from a prison last month after being sentenced to serve twenty years for shooting a fellow officer, has gone to Nicaragua to offer his services to Augustino Sandino.
Baldassare escaped after a court-martial at Buenos Aires and, disguised as a woman, made his way to Rosario, where an airplane was waiting. From there, "El Norte" reports, he flew to Puna Junena, near the Bolivian boundary, and entered Bolivian territory with the aid of a false passport. He remained for several days in hiding and continued on to Peru, from where he was to embark for Nicaragua.

HOW TO BUILD
"AFRICA for the Africans" is the slogan of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the hope of every race-conscious Negro in the world. But Africa will never be "for the Africans" if Negroes permit themselves to be soothed into inactivity by the beauty of the dream. The world is rushing by. Each individual and group is making and executing its own plan of progress. Negroes must not dream less, but they must work more. Negroes must read more widely and think more deeply. Negroes must find their place on the international program and take advantage of every opportunity to benefit the individual and the group. Group progress is measured by individual progress. And if each Negro could be brought to a realization of how important a part his attitude toward life, his daily conduct is playing in the making of his man's history, the race would soon graduate from the class of homers.
Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been receiving an international education for the last ten years. With members scattered to the four corners of the globe, the program and problems of the Association had to be essentially international. But members of the Association must not fail to see the advantages to themselves and to the Association and its international program by keeping an active hand in community interests.
Negroes have one thing in common everywhere. There is no place on earth where Negroes dwell unoppressed. The problem is the one. Only the means of combating it are different. The American Negro faces a somewhat different situation from that of his brothers in Africa, or the West Indies. They are fighting with their weapons; he must fight with his.
There was a time when enemies of the Association said the Honorable Marcus Garvey wanted all of the Negroes to go to Africa. That was their interpretation of the program for African Nationalism. Many of the members of the Association not thoroughly informed were unable to answer this. Today, members of the Association know that the problem of African Nationalism is being worked out in America, the West Indies, Central America, wherever the black man dwells. Power, economic, financial and political power, will finally establish a Negro nation in Africa. The Negro must increase that power daily by using every ounce of energy that he possesses to promote his individual progress in whatever line he happens to find himself; to take his place in the front line of community activities, so that he can get the same consideration that those around him receive.
While the Honorable Marcus Garvey is fighting our international battles, we are fighting our local and national battles. While he is making white and black friends for the Association all over the world, we are accumulating wealth and power without which there can be no victory. To dream of an African nation is a happy state to be in, but we cannot properly play our part in founding an African nation of the type visualized by the Honorable Marcus Garvey unless Negroes outside of Africa acquire sufficient education and money to be of material assistance to their benighted brethren across the seas.
The foundation has been laid. We are now engaged in rearing the structure. Each Negro is doing his part when he makes the best possible use of his life in addition to helping to spread the doctrine of a free and redeemed Africa.
THE SOUTHERN POLITICAL KETTLE
TODAY America is a seething political cauldron. Although the American Negro is, as he has always been, the fly in the American political ointment, the major political parties are trying to discount his vote more than ever. None can predict how far reaching the issues of the coming campaign may be. Political islands have gathered and are becoming blacker on the Southern coast. Democrats are warring about prohibition, but they cannot effectively because the "black menace" is always in the backyard. Lively articles in white dailies give lucid explanations of all aspects of the argument and attempt to predict future events.

Hon. Marcus Garvey
To Start Mission
In West London
The following editorial on the Hon. Marcus Garvey's activities in West London, Eng., is taken from the "West London Observer" of June 29:
Mr. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is to begin a West London mission at St. Dionis' Mission Hall, Parsons Green, on Monday next to set before the British public the objects and aims of this great worldwide organization of Negroes, which now numbers eleven million members. Mr. Garvey is known in America as the "greatest Negro orator yet produced." A man of great learning, holding a D. C. L. degree, he is now conducting a mission to the white peoples of the world in which he is putting what he describes as "the true case for the Negro." He says: "We do not demand that Africa shall be the object of an aggressive pilgrimage on the part of all the Negroes of the world, but we do ask that by peaceful means and constitutional means the Negroes shall eventually be given a land of their own where they can set up a free Negro race and nation and have their own government and their own educational systems, so that the race can develop as a race, integral and pure."
Infant Mortality Rate Of 1927 Sets Low Mark
The infant mortality rate in cities of the United States during 1927 was lower than in any previous year, the American Child Health Association announced today in its annual report according to the Associated Press. The rate last year was 64.9 deaths for each 1,000 births, as compared with 73.7 in 1926, and 100 in 1915, the association announced. The report covers the 653 cities in the birth registration area, embracing forty states that have satisfactory registration laws and record at least 90 per cent of the births.
"The improvement in the infant death rate was almost universal over the country," said the announcement, "there being but few cities which failed to show a declining rate."
Seattle, Wash., had the lowest rate, forty-one, among the cities of more than 250,000 population. Portland, Ore., and Minneapolis, Minn., were second with rates of forty-seven each. The figures for the country's ten largest cities were: New York and Cleveland, fifty-six each; St. Louis, fifty-seven; Chicago, sixty-three; Philadelphia, sixty-four; Los Anegeles, sixty-seven; Detroit, seventy; Pittsburgh, seventy-two; Boston, seventy-six, and Baltimore, eighty-two. Figures are based on provisional reports from the Federal Census Bureau and from state and local officials.
In the population group from 100,000 to 250,000 the best record was made by Bridgeport, Conn., with a rate of forty-three. East Orange, N. J., with a rate of twenty-six, headed the cities with populations from 50,000 to 100,000. The lowest rate of all, nine, was attained by Alameda, Calif. Of the cities of 10,000, to 50,000 inhabitants. Summit, N. J., was low with a rate of fifteen.
Today Africa has less than one white man to every thirty Negroes. But in spite of this white men have explored the greater part of Africa, developing many of its resources, until today Africa produces over half the world's gold supply, 1,200,000 bales of cotton, 11,900,000 tons of coal, stands third among countries in the production of copper with over 94,000 tons of concentrates, leads the world with diamonds and kola nuts, clips over 259,000,000 pounds of wool yearly and is the main source of supply for cloves, popper and ivory, besides producing rubber, hides, sesame, palm kernels and oil, corn and sheepzins in important quantities. Not a quarter of Africa has been exploited.
What is friendship? A thousand men give it a thousand definitions—from "The wine of life" to "Infinite help." Cicero calls friendship "The only thing in the world concerning the usefulness of which all mankind are agreed."—New York American.
HOMELY PHILOSOPHY
Mentally we rush along down the course of days,ather up all the trouble that seems to be waiting there, brings it to the door of the heart and say:
"What shall I do with this great mountain of trouble? Now shall I hear it?"
But life is not lived in this way. We live it simply day by day, and are called upon to bear only the troubles of each day single—bear by hour, day by day. And, being so, are called to bear—bear down trouble.
always failed, and this is the chief bar to the effectiveness of the conference engineered by Bishop Cannon and the Rev. Dr. Barton. How close to the surface the menace lies is shown by the fact that the conference was just gathering at Asheville when the Negro question instantly arose.
Meanwhile, the Negro, the helpless pawn in American politics, views the proceedings with interest while he awaits the outcome. How to keep the black American buried is a very live issue in every campaign. In this one, the task has taken on an entirely new aspect. The Wets have been wondering for a long time what good purpose Prohibition could possibly serve. Perhaps we are now about to find out. Maybe it is bringing forth something new (for Negroes) under the Southern sun.
SIR LEO'S DARK SCHEME
SIR LEO CHIOZZA MONEY, who enjoys the distinction, shared with a beautiful young woman, of having furnished tea gossip for inhabitants of the British Isles for many months; who has caused the faith and confidence of the British in the London Metropolitan police to be shaken, and who has provoked the phenomenon of a distinguished ex-soldier and ex-governor-general being placed at the head of Scotland Yard, is now again in the public eye in a somewhat more savory role. Sir Leo does not believe in birth control for white peoples, but is strong on it for blacks.
Writing recently in the London Evening Standard Sir Leo warns the white world that the steady decline in the birthrate in European countries will spell ruin for white hegemony; that the "Empire of the Whites" is threatened with speedy disintegration unless the advocates of birth control are muzzled and the "alluring gospel of going without children as the shortest cut to better times" is no longer preached. Sir Leo sees in the threatened poverty of white blood dissolution of the British Empire and the blood-curdling probability of the importation of colored people on a large scale to supplement the thinned ranks of the white populations in Europe.
We seek no quarrel with the distinguished gentleman for impressing upon his white brethren the value of numbers and the peril of birth control, but when he serenely advocates as one way out of the predicament, which he seems to see facing his kind, the systematic decimation of the ranks of black peoples by insidious propaganda, our attention is arrested. Says Sir Leo:
"It would appear, therefore, that having taught the colored race so many things without earning anything remarkable in the way of gratitude, we might possibly consider the advisability of inoculating them also with the doctrine (birth control) which has so successfully brought the question of a declining population within the scope of practical politics."
Well, well! Come to think about it, Sir Leo is, perhaps, not the sweet innocent he would have the world believe. His cool effrontery, and that alone, may have blasted the careers of the two cops who arrested him for indecent behavior in Hyde Park. It is entirely possible that we may yet hear of him in another startling role, that of His Brittanic Majesty's Minister of Propaganda for Blacks, charged with the special task of inducing black peoples to commit race suicide by ceasing to pro-create.
But if he gets the job, we predict him difficult sailing. The wary black maiden will not be won over the argument of Sir Leo Chiozza Money.
THE WORLD'S GREATEST NZZLE
THE white man can see the Negro's external actions, hear the black man's voice and put his own interpretation on the Negro thought, but he can never know the Negro who actually is," says Octavus Roy Cohen, well known writer. With which we agree. The black man, whether in America or Africa, Asia or Europe, remains as great an enigma to the white man today as ever he was. In the language of the street, the white man "does not know what it's all about," when it comes to psychoanalyzing the Negro. For which we give thanks.
But also says Mr. Cohen: "The South (of the United States) has no Negro problem. There the Negro lives and is happy in his own estate. He never tries to trespass. The happiest person in the world is the Southern Negro. He has lots more joy than grief in his makeup. I have never seen, except for brief periods of mourning, an unhappy black man in the South. Joy is their primary emotion and they express it freely and exquisitely. When they do have grief they express it just as readily and then forget about it." With most of which we do not agree. Mr. Cohen, too, does not know what it's all about. To use his own words, he can never know the Negro who actually is. The Southern Negro, even the type of Negro Mr. Cohen believes he understands and always portrays, is not the happiest person in the world—not by a long shot. He is the world's greatest diplomat, the world's greatest actor, and his success in these pursuits is attested by the silly judgment of the Cohens, et al.
If Mr. Cohen has never seen an unhappy black man in the South, except at a funeral, he should consult an eye specialist and a brain specialist. And when he has done this, let him jump on a train and rush to the locale of the next lynching. We believe if he then scans the faces of the Negroes he will see written there not only grief, but a certain something which bodes no good for those who have the mark of Cain upon their brow.
SMITH BETTER THAN HOOVER
In the last eight years, while Mr. Hoover has transformed himself from an independent figure into a partisan, Governor Smith has transformed himself from a Tarmany politician into an independently minded national figure. After four terms in the most difficult executive office below the Presidency itself he has won the admiration and respect of informed men everywhere. His administrative ability has been demonstrated. His understanding of the art of government has been attested by Republicans and Democrats alike. His capacity for popular leadership toward constructive ends is recognized as unequaled among public men today. He challenges comparison with Mr. Hoover on the ground where Mr. Hoover is admittedly strongest on the ground of administration and organizing ability. He has shown that he knows how to administer government under normal political conditions, whereas it has yet to be proved that Mr. Hoover's capacities come effectively to play except under abnormal conditions, when he is in the position of a virtual dictator, during war, famine and food.
Therefore we can say with a good conscience that for 1918 we prefer Alfred E. Smith to Herbert C. Hoover. We believe that the election of Governor Smith would carry us further toward the solution of the problems which threaten the tranquility of the United States than would the election of Secretary Hoover.—New York World.

A NEGRO NATION
Least Than 30 to 1
Friendship
One of the Greatest Literary critics of New York city includes an that his answer to Katherine Mayo's "Mother India," Lagstaff Bai of Calcutta, a member of the Legislative Assembly, has produced "Unhappy India." In it he says: "The white races got their religion from Asia. Arts and industries they copie from Egypt, moral standards they borrowed from India and Palestine. Whatever is really good and moral among the modern nations of the world is largely a gift of the East. According to some, even their blood in Asiatics in origin. Even casual students of history know that only three centuries back Asia ruled and dominated at least half of modern Europe. For centuries Russia, Turkey, Sicily, Spain and the Balkans were ruled and dominated by the Asiatics. Europe's dominance over Asia is not more than two centuries old. It virtually began with the conquest of India, and God willing, will end with her emancipation. It is this fear which is the motive behind an unholy combination of all the white peoples of the earth against India's aspirations to political freedom. India is the crux of the problem of the clash of color. India's freedom means the freedom of the whole colored world. This explains the great popularity and success which Miss Katherine Mayo's book has gained throughout the West.
"Miss Mayo's mentality is the mentality of the white races as a whole against the black or brown or yellow peoples of Asia. She is only the mouthpiece of the oppressors of the East. The awakening of the East has frightened both Europe and America. Hence this hysterical exhibition of temper and this studied, deliberate, infamous propaganda against a race so ancient and so cultured.
Economics and Clash of Color
This writer has lived and traveled in India, a country as prolific as Africa, as mysterious as China. He endorses Mr. Rai's indictment that "Mother India" is "studied, deliberate, infamous propaganda," designated to strengthen the hands of the imperialists and to injure a much misunderstood people, but cannot agree that "India is the crux of the problem of the clash of color," that "India's freedom means the freedom of the whole colored world." Mr. Rai here makes the same mistakes as Mins Mayo, they have both overdrawn on their imagination, and, as writers of their class generally do, substituted concept for truth. The crux of the problem of the clash of color lies mainly in the field of economics. It so happens that nature has endowed the domains of the darker races with an abundance of the necessities of life upon which the white and yellow races must draw to maintain their economic equilibrium and political pulse. Finding that the protection thrown around these "necessities" will readily yield to the superior strength of their national arms the white and yellow races proceed to seize them for the comfort of their nationals. The clash of color becomes inevitable because the darker races are steadily developing themselves to battle with the white and yellow races for self-preservation. Because the white and yellow races cherish "Naboth's vineyard" the clash of color is a reality.
India's freedom means the freedom of one particular unit of the colored world, not the whole of it. Ireland and Turkey have gained their respective sovereignties, but the Egyptian, Indian, Chinese and African problems are still audible, and growing daily in dimensions. Each must struggle through his own mire, each must reach its own port of emancipation. To believe otherwise is suicidal.
The Droad Caravan
Moral laxity and sex conditions are no more pronounced in India than they are in Europe and the United States. Miss Mayo must have observed conditions in the land of the maharajahs with one eye closed and recorded them from a single track mind. She needs to return and write another book on the importation of communicable diseases in India, since the country is rich with materials for such a work. Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, Delhi, Bangalore—these are cities of sin and corruption, borne there by European residents, by the soldiers and sailors of John Bull, conspicuous among whom are the Royal Engineers and the Royal Indian Marine. It is not generally known that the rich European merchants and planters, the white aristocrats and exclusive nobility of India have their harems in view. You are citizens—year—who maintain luxurious mullions to kraals in with the same sickness. The Texas to satisfy their morbid minds. They at home and the Negro the womanhood and manhood of "Mother I have been suffering five diseases. Thousands have died, thousands misness; but we have be insane asylums, hundreds have gone blind, we have awakened. The slaves ported into India by these citizens of Europe. We is now giving way to last two years about putting a stop to the internment, and we are preparing When the League of Nations succeeds in demobilization the morning's glory. This nefarious institution, India will be rid of onewow races."
In a year earlier, hundreds of inmates from India
Complacence of the Authorities There is something sinister, something treasonable in the official India blinks at this gigantic commerce in vice and immorality. Miss Mayo and Mr. Ral have both rendered a signal service by turning the attention of the world towards India—it taken both propaganda and truth to crush political injustice wherever domiciled. But it is finally true that the blame for the conditions outlined by Miss Mayo lies at the door of immoral men and women of her own race whose prostitution of India and Indians constitutes one of the blackest chapters in the history of imperialism.
An Interesting Sermon
The following brief sermon on "The Friendship of God" was delivered by the Rev. Morgan P. Noyes, pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. The simple gospel truth is so beautifully revealed that we can readily understand and appreciate the simplicity and grandeur of the Christian religion: "He was called the Friend of God."—James II. 23.
"Henry Drummond once remarked that 'to make religion akin to friendship is to give to it the highest expression conceivable by man.' That is exactly what the Bible consistently does.
"The Bible does not speak of religion primarily as a creed to be believed. Nor does it lay its chief emphasis on religion as a ritual to be followed. The Bible does not even describe religion exclusively as a way of life to be lived.
"Religion, as the Bible pictures it, does involve all these things. It involves the use of the mind, and that means belief. It involves man's response to the highest he knows, and that means worship. It involves an ideal for life, and that means a rigorous moral standard.
"But the Bibles speaks of religion primarily as friendship. The Christian religion in action is simply friendship among men. The dynamic of the Christian religion has always been devotion to the friendliest of men."
"Christianity stakes everything on its faith that at the heart of things is a friendly God. It is the Christian faith that when you long for a new earth in which shall dwell righteousness, you are not flinging your desire out into an unfeeling void where nothing answers you, but you are linking up your life with the purpose of a God who is not hostile to your highest ideals but their friend and supporter.
"Is there anything which our age needs more than a new experience of this friendship of God—to have all human life permeated with a new friendliness, inspired by loyalty to the friendly Christ and sustained by a faith in the friendly God?"
GOVERNOR SMITH AND EDUCATION
The governor has never hesitated to spend money to attain desirable objects. According to his ideas, a penurious program is an obstacle to progress. He is proud that, in the ten years in which he has had an influence in educational affairs, the sum contributed by the State to local educational units has been increased by 1,000 per cent. Looking at it in another way, the $1,000,000 contributed by the State to local education purposes when he first took office as governor is now $70,000,000. In the same period the total rest of public education to the State and localities combined grew from about $80,000,000 to $120,000,000.
"These increased school funds have brought more pay for teachers particularly in the rural schools, and the extension of high school teaching in rural communalism." said Governor Smith. "The high school population has doubled during this decade and the greatly improved educational opportunities are made available to children in rural communities on a basis comparable to the opportunity in cities. The average teacher salary in rural and village communities in 1918 was $677; in 1920 and 1921, $1,997."—History Morgan, Jr. in the N. Y. Times.
THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
stones for others on to program long will this continue? How long the Negro allow himself to be converted into such a tool? Can he not fashion himself otherwise? How is capable of using the spiritual given to others at birth to his own advantage, seeing that man has not his reasoning powers except to his own well-being; therefore, it is up to you to perfect yourselves by cultivating the powers given to you since creation to combat the corroding substance of time. The world is undergoing a change, and the survival of the fitter is the burning question or factor of the present moment. If you do not care to line up with the onward march of humanity you will be found wanting or obliterated from the map of the races of men.
Looking to the 22 points of this sphere you will notice that the races are not respecting the rights of individuals, they are solely inclined to think of self and that only. Is this the command of the creator? Love thy neighbor as yourself is a divine inspiration, but has lost its fragrance among races since its utterance. There is no special plan laid down by the Almighty as to the material path of races, hence we Negroes must seek our own path consistent to reason and spiritual welfare.
Individuals have concluded that the world must be ruled by a certain group—the Gods—aristocrats, democrats, socialists and what not; but it is not so. Nature did not intend that the world should be partitioned in any way except in a racial way. One cannot forget that we (humanity) are here to bear one another's burden and so fulfill the law of Christ. Since this is our spiritual chat we should employ it in our material life. Is it possible for us to do to others as we expect done to ourselves?

Africa Determined To Follow Garvey
To the Editor of The Negro World: Marcus Garvey, the much-loved, much-hated, capable, fearless and unfaltering founder and leader of the organization known as the U. N. I. A. stands out head and shoulders above any of the patronized, hound picked and self-appointed leaders of the African race; nay, more, greater than any leader of the present day, in any race. He is attracting more attention to the race of Africans than has ever been directed to us before; and bringing the world (and even the African himself) to a realization of the fact that the many that the African has strong, deep and potential; the lean is a superb specimen of work of the Great Creator; and that this much-maligned, much-opressed race of ours will yet so shape its own destiny and to grapple with the problems of the age in which we live that the nations of the world, small and great, will have to reckon with us and accord to us the rights and privileges which God and Nature provided for us as well as for all the others of the sons of men.
The African of the twentieth century must take up the standard of the Red, the Black and Green and follow the lead of Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. There is to be no looking back from the high duty and lofty endeavors to which we have committed ourselves, individually as well as collectively. Hence, it is expected of the native race of Africans that we shall not only assert our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but we must so steer our lives and so direct our actions that this as well as future generations will find much to admire and to emulate in us.
Our noble leader has challenged the attention and admiration of the world; and even though his enemies and envious, jealous ones try to pass over his achievements and bellittle his fame, he is making a place in the hearts of conscientious and right thinking men of every race in every corner of the globe.

During the persecution which he before us and responding to the call of the inspired leader of Hose, Marcus Garvey, our noble leader, we can see before us an era of unmarmed prosperity; an era of unmarmed achievements and the drawing of a glorious day for a race which is strong, active, noble and virile.
The call of Marcus Garvey has echoed all around the world like a charism call to arms; and from every corner of this globe you can hear the trump of the awakened millions of the Born and Daughters of Ethiopia marching on to victory. There is a determination in the faces of those dusky children of Ham which will not change, which also worries the overroads of the predatory nations. There is a steely glint in their flashing eyes which bespakes the stern resolve, "Victory or Death."
The African must be free and Africa must be redeemed. With this knowledge burnt into our consciousness and rejuvenating our souls, strengthening our determination, and stealing our hearts for the fight against oppression, let us therefore "follow where Garvey leads."

Much Praise for Negro World Staff
To the Editor in the Negro World.
I have read with profound sadness of the death of Timothy Thomas Fortune, who died on June 2, 1925, at the ripe age of 72 years, in the Negro World, of which he was editor for nearly five years. He makes the second outstanding figure in Negro journalism, who has championed the cause of Nationalism. John Bruce, who dedicated a prayer to the U. N. I. A., "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit saith the Lord of hosts," etc. Too much praise cannot be given to these men. Their pen knew but one theme, the right of man. Their editorials were accepted throughout the journalistic world as the voice of the Negro.
I hope other men in the Negro race now in the journalistic faal will with patience prove to the world that the awakened Negro has mastered his art, the medium by which the public is constantly kept informed. Queen Elizabeth of England makes the press the fourth person in her kingdom to watch and report the conduct of certain officials, therefore I congratulate the Negro World for the splendid news articles it is publishing from time to time. May you continue to let the sledge hammer blow to public opinion be heard. Fortune has done his duty; may he reap the just reward which awaits him.
I cannot close without giving a word of praise to Hon. S. A. Haynes, high commissioner, for his articles. "Through Black' Spectacles." I have gathered much food for thought from them. R. A. CHARLES. Central Miranda, Oriente, Cuba.
What Does Britain Owe the Negro?
To the Editor of the Negro World:
I was greatly amused over the lines
of an article appearing in your journal,
the Negro World of June 9, concerning
the recent address of Sir Eustace
Flennes, governor of the Leeward
Islands, to the Federal Legislative
Council, as touching "that amount of
loyalty of Negroes due to Britain in
preference to themselves."
Now, I am inclined to believe that
the honorable gentleman expressed
such sentiments out of sheer loyalty
and patriotism to his government and

name and not with truth or reason, for
if he knows what truth and reason is
he will readily see, and acknowledge
so, that the Negro is in no ocea ob-
ligated to Britain for what she has
done. So far as slavery and his so-
called protection is concerned, rather
vice-victory, "Every man is expected to
make full reparation according to his
acts."
The Negro can never be sufficiently
paid for the wrong inflicted upon him,
which have followed him unto this
day. For through deprivation and
unconcern, he is thrown here and
there, scattered1 and kicked about as
British objects, yet he remains true
to the Union Jack. The Negro has no
home of his own. That which God
gave to his father has been plundered
and divided up by and between political
bandits, whose delight is to prey
upon that which is not theirs. Truly
unrighteousness is a reproach to any people.
Sir Eustace harpa much over what Britain has done and what will she not do. But like Belshazzar in Babylon, who thought, spoke and acted foolishly, unaware of the self-consciousness of the Medes and Persians until the Euphrates was turned off its course, and by midnight their objective was accomplished. So likewise the governor is not cognizant of that ever-growing tide of Negro self-consciousness, and may I not ask what it will not do when it is fully matured. Remember that history repeats itself:

Rich Africa
Although Africa southward from the Zambed is more temperate in climate than other parts and has been opened up to settlers longer, it is not by any means the richest or the most important part. The wealth of the Congo is almost beyond belief. On either side of this great province lie high plateau countries. On the east are Tanzaniya and Kenya, on the northwest Nigeria and the Cameroons. The interior tablelands of these territories offer magnificent acreages suitable to development by whites for cotton, coffee, maize and sugar growing. In a single year Uganda has already produced 18,000 bales of cotton. Nigeria 15,000 and Nyasaland 3,000. The French Congo, about which one hears very little, produces 1,500 tons of wild rubber and over 5,000 tons of palm oil. In the interior near that almost forsaken post of Lake Chad roam 750,000 domestic cattle. We Americans import annually some $3,000,000 worth of products and produce from this little known province of France—An American in "Current History."

The proposal, it was said today, will now go to Congress for legislative action. The proposal provides that condemned men may voluntarily be inoculated with cancer geras and thereafter remain under observation and treatment for twelve years. Should they survive and be cured they would be free from prison.

On July 12 the jurors of the Circuit Court of Miami, Florida, brought in a verdict of "Not Guilty" in the case of the State of Florida vs. Claude Green and J. B. Nemo, who were charged with first degree murder in connection with the killing of Laura Champion, alias Laura Koffey, self-styled African Princess.
These men, who are President of the Miami Division and Colonel of the Legions, respectively, were held in jail from March 8 to July 12, 1928.
The happy disposition of this case deals another blow to the yellow journalism that attempted to connect Marcus Garvay and the Universal Negro Improvement Association with this crime.
Green and Nemo have been exonerated, and the U. N. I. A. shall march on in Miami, Florida.
A copy of "The Negro World" was submitted to the jurors by the prosecuting attorney to show that a national appeal was being made for funds for the men's defense, and that this paper, edited by Marcus Garvay, did show that Green and Nemo were agents of his. Notwithstanding that, they were acquitted.
On behalf of Claude Green and J. B. Nemo and on behalf of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the Hon. E. B. Knox and the Universal Negro Investment Association, I wish to thank those who have so generously contributed to the defense of these men and to the welfare of our association.
There is yet a balance due of about $300.00 on this defense and I shall be grateful if the members would contribute any possible amount to make up this deficit.
Yours truly.

The Mme. C. J. Walker Mt. Co. has a beauty service second to none, has in our city one of their illuminated faculty in the person of Mrs. Robert C. Ole, an expert beautician, who is nationally known to both groups.
Mrs. Ole holds diplomas and certificates from such schools as Wanmakena, Parkers, Wenzels, Emile Calyces, Julien and Wilfred. For many years she was national organizer of the N. B. C. L. Inc.
Supplementing her years of arduous theoretical training she has had many years as a successful operator and beauty shop owner for women of both groups. Her large contacts in many activities such as clubs, welfare, fraternal and political qualifies her for ever widening trail of the Walker club organisation. Mrs. Ole's personality as miles her well liked engagements contacts. Above all, she is anxious that the women of her chosen profession be qualified without reservations in the beauty field.
The Muse. Walker's A'Lelia School of Beauty Culture is nationally recognized and an accredited school. Says Mrs. Ole. "Our already established school centers have commanded the attention of the 'All American Beauty Schools.' Our graduates are qualified to pass any state board and our course gives that finish of efficiency which makes a Walker beautician foremost among the most desired operators of our group. Ours is a scientific course; a qualified beauty service."
Mrs. Ole is here stimulating the service and registering students for the late summer and fall classes. "We shall establish at the Walker Studio one of the largest and most efficient schools east of our central plant. Says Mrs. Ole. 'The beauty regulations are coming to New York and most of the coast line states. We, the Walker family, are ready and making ready many for professional requirements. We protect those who have our diplomas."
We invite those who wish to be qualified beauty culturists to join our family. Consultations daily.
The total available waterpower of the world has been estimated at potentially 439,000,000 horsepower. Of the 130,000,000 is in Africa. Asia ranks second and North America third with 48,000,000. It has been variously estimated that the coal reserves of the world amount to seven trillion, six hundred and eighty-five billion tons. South Africa, which is not by any means the richest of the coal countries of Africa, is credited with 62,000,000 tons.

Origin of Diamonds
Remains a Mystery
LONDON, July 11.—New does
Nature make her diamonds? The
fascination of the glittering jewel in
heightened by the mystery of its
origin. It remains a mystery, in spite
of many attempts to solve it.
Diamonds are a form of carbon Graphite, another form of carbon, may be produced from diamonds, but the reverse has never been accomplished. The most famous attempt to make diamonds artificially was that of Prof. Henkel Mossean. He melted pure iron with sugar charcoal in an arc furnace, then plunged the molten mass into cold water. The pressure produced by the quick chilling of the outer crust was supposed to convert the carbon so that it would crystallize from the iron solution as diamond and not graphite. After treatment with various acids so as to remove all other minerals, Mossean obtained tiny crystals which had the optical properties of diamonds. Sir Charles Parsons, the English scientist, has since repeated the experiments, but he concluded that Nolssam's theories were erroneous and that the crystals were due to impurities in the iron. Many other methods have been tried from time to time, but in every case
On the Land in Hawaii
HONOLULU. July 6—Hawaii's "back to the land" movement has reached such a degree of success that today 5,154 homesteads are owned by citizens of the Territory and nearly 3,000 additional homesteads are available for those who wish them.
Such is the situation revealed in a report prepared by Governor Wallace R. Farrington and presented to members of the Chamber of Commerce here at a meeting this week.
The governor explained that there is no necessity for looking into the future for some industrial revolution in Hawaii before the community can satisfy the desire of its youth to own and cultivate land.
"Before we start talking uselessly about dividing privately owned area, as has been suggested from time to time by people of good intentions, but of insufficient information, there are plenty of other opportunities at hand," he said.
Homesteads in Hawaii may be obtained by any citizen who wishes to own the land in fee simple, cultivate it, and establish a home upon it.
Chemical Expert Calls Attempt to Outlaw Gas in War "Futile"— "Sane" Public View Asked
NEW YORK, July 15.—Holding that it is futile to attempt by treaty to prohibit the use of gas as an instrument of war. H. Edmund Griffin, executive secretary of the National Association for Chemical Defense, yesterday urged that America keep out of any world compact which seeks to do away with the use of gas in war-time. He announced that the association is cooperating with the Institute of the American Chemical Society to develop in the minds of American citizens "a sane perspective" with regard to the use of gas as a military weapon.
The association and institute will meet Aug. 18 at Northwestern University to discuss the national defense program. One of the important themes to be taken up will involve the recent disaster in Hamburg, Germany, where eleven persons were killed by escaping phosgene gas, Mr. Bullis said.
"No sane person." Mr. Bullis said, "can believe that any country at war would wait to manufacture projectiles to defend itself against aggression if, in its manufacturing plants, phosgene gas and other industrial chemicals could be made available and used effectively for defense purposes.
"Evidently the belief is held that phosgene gas should not be manufactured even though it be of value for medicinal purposes, even though it is an important factor in the manufacture of dyes and solvents.
"Had Hamburg suffered the collapse of a theatre resulting in the death of ten times as many people as the phosgene killed, there would have been but very little publicity regarding the accident.
"There is no question that phosgene should be stored only in small quantities and away from centers of population. There was no excuse for the Hamburg tragedy, for both of these factors were ignored."
"By international agreement, Germany is forbidden to manufacture gas for military use. Only three German firms are authorized to make phosgene gas for use in the dye trade. The farm which owned the leaky phosgene tank is not one of these three firms.
"It is not implied that the phosgene gas was made secretly for military purposes. The very fact that the city authorities did not know of the existence of this phosgens tank proves the difficulty of preventing gas nation from storing gas for military purposes if it wanted to do so, even though this were forbidden by international agreement.
"The National Association for Chemical Defense has been formed to attempt in a conservative manner to bring about a more sane reaction on the part of the general public toward the use of chemicals in national defense. The officers of this association are not militarians in any sense; they are not chemical manufacturers; they are hard-headed business men, bankers, educators and manufacturers, who believe in the necessity of an efficient national defense.
"The work of these men, who advocate a sane, reasonable attitude toward the use of chemicals for military purposes, is proving decidedly helpful in bringing about a better understanding of this involved technical and psychological problem."
Mr. Bullis will open the national defense program at the Institute of Chemistry with an address on "The Reaction of the General Public to the Use of Gas in Warfare." He will be followed by B. C. Goss of Cleveland, who will discuss "Peace Time Use of Chemical Warfare Weapons." Dr. Arthur Lowenstein of Chicago will be chairman of a general conference in the evening. The conferences will be followed by discussions, in which chemical experts from all over the country will take part.

Help help you pursue
success and lock in
social affairs. But
By MRS. GRACE GOWIE
Every man in the world is affected, not only by his own reputation, but by that of the race to which he belongs. If a race has an evil name, each member of that race becomes an heir to his portion of this disfavor. Thus his own individual case is handicapped by the evil name of his race and the rising above this evil name is an obstacle additional that must be overcome.
A race is nothing more than an aggregation of a certain type of individuals. Unless there are worthy individuals to compose it, there will be no worthy race. It is an idle dream for anyone to hope for a race to rise as a jump without regard to what the units of the race are in themselves. If you give a race the outward forms of success and have not worthy individuals, it will not be able to hold what it has been given.
Value of Co-operation
One of the greatest tasks of life while requiring worthy individuals, is not performed by individual working singly, but rather in combination. What our race stands most in need of is co-operation. Unless we have co-operation, we as a race will never rise above our present condition. People with timid hearts who do not know how to passages their souls in patience while passing through the dark periods of life interfere greatly with the development of co-operative effort. We have got to have patience to overcome. To have racial success we must have the courage to proclaim our views; we must likewise keep an open mind ready to accept the truth when it comes from others. Open mindedness is a great virtue when found in co-operation. The narrow class mindedness is a message to co-operation.
No one should become so great in his own eyes that he feels he is above being a follower. Good following is as much necessary as is wise leading. And all members of a race should strive to lead wisely where they are leaders, and to follow faithfully. Too co-operation is universal helpfulness. Allow no one man to tread the whisper if he is doing a good work. Let all throw their strength behind him and help move forward. Let 'all help' be the motive of every community and every group, and development will be marvellous. To succeed as a race, we must move up out of the age of direct personal appeal, and live in an age where an idea can influence to action anyone, regardless of its source. The time has been, and such time may be again, when nations shall call upon good citizens to lay their all upon the altar for the sake of their country—his wealth, comfort and home ties.
But our call here for the sake of the Negro race is not unto a field of blood. No one is asked to die for his race, but what is asked that men shall live for their race, that they shall so live that they can and will work together faithfully and successfully.
Unless the Negro race can develop the virtue necessary for the successful working together of large bodies, or groups of people, it is doomed to a life of continued sorrow and slames.

The mechanical maintenance of the National Urban League, of which T. Arnold Hill is director, has issued the following bulletin on employment conditions:
June proved an ordinary month in employment activity. It gave rise to considerable speculation as to whether or not unemployment was increasing or declining. May was a most favorable month and showed signs of continued prosperity in industry, but the picture was changed in June, although the month closed with the prediction that steel and automobile production would rank high.
A few instances reflect the activities among Negroes. The chief sign of progress was the apparent awakening of individuals in several cities to the need of organizing colored men and women to make effective appeals to employers for jobs. The Colored Negro Veterary Advisory Association of Denver, taking advantage of political activities throughout the country, and particularly in Colorado, has asked employees to give men and women jobs in positions that have been closed to them. The Economic and Industrial Association of Cambridge is making similar appeals. Citizens of Dayton, protecting against the failure of the shops there to employ colored men, have become aroused over the situation, and a survey is being made to determine the extent of the problem.
Two thousand additional Negroes went to work in Winston-Salem, N. C. in a new tobacco factory built by the R. J. Reynolds Company, which closed up factories in Jersey City and Richmond, Va. when the new buildings were constructed in Winston-Salem. In Portland, Ore., there is hope for the employment of a colored policeman, now that a volunteer has been appointed as a forerunner of a salaried officer.
In Baltimore, where copies of buildings planned or in process of construction run into many millions, unemployment is said to have been relieved 18 per cent. A large number of Negroes are included among those working in building construction. Camp Meade harbours, not far removed from Baltimore, are under construction, and common labor, mostly Negro, is being rapidly absorbed. Philadelphia reports a leasing of its unemployment because the street railways and street repairing are using quantities of Negro labor. Newark and Fort Wayne make similar notations. In Pine Bluff, Ark., night shifts have been installed in the Mash body plant, and more favorable conditions have been put in operation for Negro skilled workers.
Colored hotel workers were replaced by white workers in a hotel in Jefferson, Mo., and another in Chicago, Ill. In the shift from union to non-union employees, contractors in Lexington, Ky., caused the use of a fewer number of Negro workers.

Husband: "I cannot tell a lie: I've been at my office."

WARNING! John II is the first year the United States resuscitated immigration law has been supporting children from poverty and homelessness from wires with its strict guide provisions.
During the coming year this company will acquire a new reef, and will bring together again many hundreds of those families it has broken up.
Within the last two weeks a good immigration policy has been undertaken, under authority granted by the last Congress and regulations issued by Secretary of State Kellogg. These provide, in effect, that personally the entire quotes available to each country during the coming year shall be devoted to bringing to the United States relatives of immigrants already here. This includes for the first time relatives of alien immigrants as well as relatives of those who have been in this country long enough to secure citizenship.
Quotes Not Increased
The amended law does not relax the restrictive policy adopted by Congress, and does not increase the quota of any country. It does, however, stipulate to enlarge the number of immigrants who may come under non-quote provisions, and it changes the preference provisions of the quota in order to affect the humane plan of reuniting kingskiff. It will perhaps take several years to bring to this country under the quota all the relatives of citizens and aliens wishing to come, and during this time they will have preference over all but skilled agriculturists and their families. After that the quota will be available for all appling, without further change in the law.
Three Clauses Affected
Under the new regulations the following are applied to come to this country outside the quota:
Women who were citizens of the United States and lost citizenship by marriage to aliens, but are now unmarried.
The new quota preference provisions reserve 50 per cent of the quota of each country for fathers and mothers and husbands of aliens by marriage dated after May 31, 1928, and for skilled agriculturists and their families.
The remainder of each quota and any balance not used by the first preference classes is set aside for unmarried children under 31 and wives of aliens who have been legally admitted to the United States for permanent residence. Until this time aliens coming to this country have been unable to acquire any preference status for their families until they have been in the United States the five years necessary to secure citizenship.
The State Department has endeavored to put these new provisions into effect with a minimum of red tape in instructions wired to all consuls. So far no reports have been received as to the operation of the new plan, but applications already on file by would-

To the strains of "All My Troubles Are Over" and "Bring Low, Sweet Charlot" eight hundred Negro captives marched out of the Aldrich and Flat Top coal mines in Alabama—marking the end of the convict-issue system under which Alabama had leased the services of prisoners to the private owners of the mines. It is to the great credit of Southern public opinion and of Governor Bob Groves that Alabama has ended this survival of barbarism. The twenty years of its use have been marked by cases of horrible cruelty; one prisoner was behead and then belled alive, alligator in the warden. When this happened in 1916—after it had been freed by the
with certificates of suicide in the Alabama to action, the system has now been completely oblinded. Along with the campaign against floggings in Alabama and the reduced number of lynchings this strikes the new note of progress in the South — The Nation.
