No. 28 Every Division And Realig Great Fellowmen of the Negro Race, Greeting: We have decided not to have any International Convention this year. The reason is, we are spending the time reorganizing our forces for our biggest gathering in August, 1929. We are now lining-up our forces all over the world for a decisive effort to bring about the results necessary for the advancement of our race. It is for that reason that we must spend the time between now and August next year in readjusting and reorganizing our unitary forces within the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Local Divisions to Meet It is customary, when the International Convention is not held, for every local division to hold its own convational meetings. That I hope every division will do this year, but with the view of arranging things so as to lend strength to the Movement for the big convention next year, to which every Branch, Division and Chapter must send its delegates. Big Convention Next Year Our program for our next convention will be announced immediately after the completion of my European tour. It will be worth while looking forward to, because it will embody the new declaration upon which we will rest our lives, our honor and our fortune. The International Convention next year will be a Gigantic Movement; it will draw representative Negroes from every quarter of the globe, and we are spending the whole year in arranging the program so that everything will be in order. Adjust Affairs It is now the duty of every Division, Chapter and Branch of the Association to readjust its own unitary forces so that next year no Branch, Chapter or Division will be out of line in the great march that will open our International Convention.

We shall rally as a race and people until the goal is reached. Honest Men and Women Wanted What we want at the present time is a larger number of honest men and women, intelligent and patriotic, who are willing to go forward in the leadership of this crusade as the early followers of Christianity did, not obsessed by greed and graft, as most of our leaders are today.

ECRETARY HOOVER, MASTER MIND, SERVED FIRESTONE INTERESTS, IS CHARGE Wolesale Exploitation of Natives Seen Leading Establishment of "Plantation System" and a Virtual Return to Slavery—Subject to Be Fully Discussed by League of Nations—Hoover, If Elected, Would Become "Virtual President of Liberia" By ALBIN E. JOHNSON In The New York World GENEVA, July 27—Herbert Hoover, as Secretary of Commerce, and the State Department at Washington stand indicted in a report specially presented to the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations as having forced upon the Negro Republic of Liberia the granting of a concession which established the "closed door" commercially and made the Liberian Government subservient to American supervisors to be "designated by" future Presidents of the United States. The program, it is charged, eventually will result in confiscation of the lands of the natives so that they will be held in "forced labor" the interests of American capitalists. The revelations, which concern mainly the rubber concessions of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, were submitted by Henri A. Junod, President of the International Society for the Protection of Natives, and, according to Junod, have been circulated officially among the Governments holdings mandates in Africa as well as the members of the League's commission. They will be given serious consideration at the sessions of next November. William Rappard, member of the The report is the result of investigations which have been conducted by an American, Raymond Buell, formerly a professor of history at Harvard and now affiliated with the Foreign Policy Association. Buell spent more than a year in all parts of Africa investigating conditions His report covers the French, Belgian, British and Portuguese colonies as well as the mandated territories. Charges Pressure for Loan Reviewing the "inside story" of the obtaining of the Liberian concession by the Firestone Rubber Company, Buella's report criticizes the support given the rubber interests by Secretary Hoover and the State Department. He states that the acceptance of the terms of the loan made by the Firestone interests to the republic resulted only from pressure brought to bear by Hoover and the State Department. Buell declares that at the commencement of the negotiations the Liberians were unanimously opposed to the loan. They finally agreed to it, he says, in consequence of intervention by the Secretary of State. At that time, the report points out, the Republic of Liberia was having difficulties with France over the Village of Zinta, which France desired. The Liberian Government, Buell says, A. B. TABLE 1.

This loan, Buell reveals, instead of diminishing Liberia's burdens, extends the nation's indebtedness from 1952 to 1962 and increases her annual interest payments by 2 per cent. Furthermore, the report continues, "by virtue of this arrangement the American officials designated by the President of the United States have the right to oversee the returns on all Liberian interior and exterior revenue and to control all expenditures." The League, ourselves, will find itself powerless to consider officially the activities under the Firestone concession, since Liberia is theoretically a sovereign state and a League member and the United States is not associated with the League. On the other hand, however, the League does have authority to scrutinize anything which will affect the general welfare of the black peoples in territories contiguous to those intrusted to its hands. $5,000,000 Loan Floated by Firestone Replaced Worthless One WASHINGTON. July 27.—State Department officials today denied charges contained in a report to the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations that Liberia has been made subservient to America through arrangements made with that country by Secretary of Commerce Hoover and the State Department. The charges are that the Negro republic has been compelled to grant concessions which establish a commercial closed door and has been made subservient to the American supervisors. That the Firestone rubber concession will cause confiscation of land and result in forced labor is scouted by the department officials. It is assumed in official quarters that the occasion for the charge is the recent book of Prof. Raymond Buell, who, they say, has assumed that the Firestone concession of a million acres will exhaust the land available and the labor supply, compelling forced labor in the future. According to the State Department view, this assumption is without justification. The Firestone concession came about as a result of efforts made to break the Stevenson British rubber combine, when Henry Ford sought rubber in Brazil, the Goodyear Company in the East Indies and Thomas A. Edison began experiments in Florida relative to the use of cortex and other plants to furnish rubber. Firestone, it is explained, investigated conditions in the Philippines and Liberia and chose the latter. According to the terms of his concessor he may plant up to a million acer but up to date has not planted more than 20,000 acres, and is increase his蓄势 slowly. According to P. agreement with the Liberian Republic, he pays the laborers a trifle more than the prevailing wage along the African coast, his wage amounting to 25 cents a day. This money is paid in cash into the hands of the laborer. State Department officials insist there is nothing in the Firestone concession to prevent granting concessions to other mallpals, nor will it countermeasures the closed door nor any program of forest labor. The Firestone connection, it is admitted, grew out of the efforts of the republic to publica, a war-torn loan, which call because of the attitude of Congress the Liberians had a lean of subservience to $1,790,609, which was administered and by Firestone, through --- League's Hands Tied THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1928 Garvey's Indictment of Hoover Precedes Geneva Revelations the National City Bank of New York, floated a loan of $5,000,000 in this country which was used to wipe out the old debt and begin anew. Liberians have an American financial adviser who is recommended by the State Department and selects a collector of customs and a collector of taxes. The National City Bank provides an auditor, who goes over the accounts of these officials, who are taken into the Liberian Government service. Previous to this the financial affairs of the government had been supervised by the representatives of the United States, France, Germany and England, in which countries the loan floated prior to the present one had been negotiated. It is not denied that financial advisors superimposed on a loan of $ 000,000 to take up one which was worthless, will have considerable influence in a government like Liberia. The chief reliance of Liberia upon this Government, it is intimated, is through fear of being absorbed by surrounding European powers.

London Warns the Negro Race What to Expect from Herbert Hoover, Citing Firestone Deal The following statement by the Hon. Marcus Garvey on Hoover's and Firststone's exploitation of Liberia at the behest of big business, was published in The Negro World of the week ending July 28. The statement was included in an article, which reached The Negro World office on July 19, and in which the leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association urged the Negroes of America to vote for Al Smith, since Hoover represented "nothing but a return to slavery"; WHO IS HOOVER "Who is Mr. Hoover? Mr. Hoover is the candidate of a corrupt system of republicanism that has exploited the country for the past eight years—the system that gave us the Tea Pot Dome and the Alien Fraud cases in which Harry Daugherty, 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 century has come upon the scene to assist big American Interests 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. "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." Mr. A. Folkes, of the U. N. I. A., Secures Chief Officer's Certificate and New York Pilot's License Mr. Adolphus Folkes, a member of the New York Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, now enjoys the distinction of being the first member of the race to secure a pilot's license for New York Harbor, Long Island Sound and the Hudson River, as the result of his success at a recent examination held by the U. S. Board of Examiners in New York City. Mr. Folkes also received on July 28 the board's certificate licensing him to serve as Chief Officer of a steamer of "any gross tonnage upon the waters of any ocean." Mr. Folkes will be remembered as the capable Third Officer of the "General Goethals," of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. Sir Alan Cobham Predicts Air Mail Route to Africa LONDON, July 26. The production was made today by Sir Alan Cobbham, pioneer African aviator, that within 12 months there would be an air route carrying mails from London to Central Africa in seven days. Speaking at the British Empire League's luncheon, Sir Alan said the proposed air route from Alexandria, Egypt, to Kisumu, in the Kenya colony, would pass through Central Africa, with landing fields established there. Thus, he said, the Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika territories would be brought within four days' journey from Cairo. Report to League of Nations Shows the Sinister Part Played by Herbert Hoover in Selling Out Liberia to the Rubber Interests The following excerpts are taken from two articles which appeared in The New York World on July 28 and July 29. The articles, which are dated July 27 and July 28, were transmitted to New York by Mr. Albin E. Johnson, staff correspondent of The New York World at Geneva. They reveal the port which Secretary Hoover, Republican candidate for the Presidency, played in the virtual enslavement of the Liberian people to favor the rubber interests. LIBERIA'S DOOM "GENEVA, July 27.--Herbert Hoover, as Secretary of Commerce and the State Department at Washington, stand indicted in a report officially presented to the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations as having forced upon the Negro Republic of Liberia the granting of a concession which established the "closed door" commercially and made the Liberian Government subservient to American supervisors to be "designated by" future Presidents of the United States. "The program, it is charged, eventually will result in confiscation of the lands of the natives so that they will be held in "forced labor" in the interests of American capitalists." GENEVA, July 28.—The creation of economic conditions in Liberia which will result in the establishment of a "plantation system" similar to that which made slavery profitable in the Southern States is the deliberate policy of American rubber interests, backed officially by Secretary of Commerce Hoover. Such is the declaration in the petition officially placed before the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations asking that the situation be looked into. . . . "It appears, it is said, that if Secretary Hoover is elected President of the United States he will become virtual President of Liberia, on behalf of the American rubber interests, which are exploiting a 1,000,-000-acre concession.

"NEGRO WORLD, "142 W. 130th Street, "New York City. 16 G.O.P. WOMEN FIND MRS. BOOZE SO EMBARRASSING Negro Committeeewoman Was "Shooed" Away by Eastern and Southern Women from Social Function Following Political Meeting at Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 24—Mrs. Mary C. Booze of Mississippi, the only Republican National Committeewoman of the race, was left out of the luncheon which formed part of the program of a conference called by Mrs. Oliver T. Hert, vice-chairman of the Republican National Committee. The call was sent to seventeen committeewomen, among them Mrs. Booze, for the purpose of making definite plans for the campaign among the women in the East. The committeewomen came from New England and other Eastern States. Four came from the South—Tennessee, North Carolina, Maryland and West Virginia. It is said that everything went on smoothly until Mrs. Booze appeared on the scene. At sight of her Mrs. Hert became visibly embarrassed. Mrs. Booze was the only woman here for the conference who was not present for the social feature. She had "in previous engagement." Two reports on what happened are to be had. One is that Mrs. Booze, being wise, conveniently disappeared at luncheon time, and the other that she was asked to retire quietly and save Republican leaders embarrassed. Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Republican National Committee, was the principal speaker before the conference, which was executive. No excerpts from his speech were made public, but he told the women he knew they would work for the party at all times, but especially now, when a moral issue is involved. James Francis Burke, counsel for the committee, and others spoke. The speeches were all right, but the coming of Mrs. Booze caused embarrassment. It was apparent to outlookers that Mrs. Hert and her advisers were worried. Mrs. Booze was ill at ease, but quite interested and determined to watch the proceedings of the committee group assembled to discuss party matters. Mrs. Booze represents the women of Mississippi on the Republican National Committee, and Perry W. Howard, recently indicted at Bloxol on a charge of conspiracy to sell federal offices, the men. She is said to be capable and well-to-do. The first sign of confusion over the presence of the committeewoman from Mississippi came when a camera man appeared to take a group picture. Mrs. Booze took an end place on the back row and was there when snapped. Later another picture was made and Mrs. Booze was in that. As the luncheon hour approached no solution of the problem suddenly sprung upon the committeewomen was reached. A photographer relieved the situation by inviting Mrs. Booze to the floor below for an individual picture. On her return to the roof garden Mrs. Booze found that the other members of the committee had gone into the dining room. She accompanied Mrs. Alice Gramm Robinson, secretary to Mrs. Hert, into an anteroom, and on coming back to the main hall took the elevator and left the building. Asked if she had been invited to lunch with the party, she said she had, but was "going out to keep an engagement." She returned for the afternoon session. In opening the conference, Mrs. Hert announced the first move would be to mobilize home makers for Hoover and Curtis. This will be crystallized into the "Hoover Club for Home Makers." The home makers number 240,000,000, and Mrs. Hert will try to register them and make new voting groups. This afternoon Mrs. Rabin told the conference that New York will vote against Smith. "He has been beaten, and, with the vigorous type of campaign we will put on, he will be beaten again," she said. "We will divide the State into three districts—first, that which is surely Democratic; second, that which is surely Republican, and, third, that which is doubtful. We will go after the doubtful section. We will make a drive for the young men and young women."

"PARIS, July 23, 1928. AFRICAN DRUMS CARRY SIGNALS TO TRIBESMEN Drummers, Says American Scientist, Must Make No Mistakes or Pay Serious Penalties —Are Exalted Socially Over Their Fellows. CHICAGO. —What Americans are often tempted to do to wailing saxophones, unharmonious trombonists and overcofferous trap drummers, members of African tribes actually do to their bad musicians. They mutilate them cruelly for errors in harmony or mistakes in transmitting messages by signal drums, according to Wilfrid D. Hambly, assistant curator of African ethnology at Field Museum of Natural History. Probably every civilized person has learned at times to cut off a saxophonist's ears, all the corners of a tronobonist's mouth or chop off a drummer's hands—privileges of which some African tribes avail themselves in regulating musicianship and the conduct of those who play their drums and other musical instruments. Two large wooden drums from Cameroon, West Africa, elaborately carved with representations of mythical animals, ancestral figures and mystical symbols are now on exhibition in the new hall of African ethnology at Field Museum. Such drums, according to Mr. Hambly, are kept near the residence of a chief, and he may strike them to call his men to war or summon them to the palavar. A protecting hut is often built over the drum and it marks the place of public assembly, symbolizes the dignity of chieftainship and constitutes an idol to which a stranger entering the village is expected to pay his respects. Signal drums, depending on atmospheric conditions, can carry messages from five and fifteen miles. Some are merely hollowed log; others are skin-covered instruments. While drummen are subject to cruel penalties as above related, for their mistakes, they have some compensation in the fact that their art gives them an exalted social position among their fellows, said Mr. Hambly. The Africans have another type of drum the friction drum—which Mr. Hambly believes leaders of American jazz orchestras would find ideal as an addition to the various car-splitting contrivances now in use. This drum has a wooden rod passing through the membrane and projecting for about a foot and a half. The player first rubs his hand with resin and then strokes his palm down the stick. This vibrates in such a way as to send out heart-rending walls and groans. Sandino Forces Attack Five Marine Corps Planes Managua, Nicaragua, July 25—A squadron of five Marine Corps airplanes were fired on by rifles and machine guns in the hands of Nicaraguan insurgents near the Honduras border today. Three planes were struck by rifle bullets but there was no serious damage. The planes returned the fire with machine guns, rifles and bombs. The results of the airplane fire are unknown, but it is believed there were a number of casualties among the insurgents. Dispatches from Managua, Tuesday, expressed the belief that the Sandino rebellion had been crushed and that Sandino either had left the country or was in hiding at the Honduran border. (How many women and children were among the "casualties among the insurgents," we wonder—The Editor.) Negro Art to Be Shown; Prize for Painting Offered Preliminary announcement of an art exhibition of the work of American Negroes is made by the Harmon Foundation. A price of $268 is offered by an anonymous patron, to be awarded for the best painting or sculpture in the exhibition, which will be held at the International House, 500 Riverdale Drive, January 3 to 13, next. The exhibition is sponsored by the Harmon Foundation in co-operation with the Commission of the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches. "An opportunity for extensive participation in being given," according to Mary Beattie Brady, director of the Award in Pine Arts, "by placing the date for final entries after the vocation period." All applications and nominations for entry in the exhibition should be made to George K. Haynes, secretary of the Commission on Church and Race Relations, 108 East Twenty-second Street, before September 10. Gustave Machade Cites Plight of Nicaragua—Urgas Formulation of Concrete Plan of Action — Sends Greetings to Heroic Nicaragua The people of Venezuela should be warned by the example of what has happened to Nicaragua during the last few years and try to give no pretext for foreign intervention in that rich South American country. Such is the gist of a communication addressed some weeks ago to the members of the Venezuelan Labor Union, an organization of exiles living in the United States and affiliated with the Pan-American Federation of Labor, by Gustavo Machado from El Chipotle, the then headquarter of General Augusto C. Sandino, to whom Senior Machado had delivered a package of medical supplies sent to the Nicaraguan chief by the All-America Anti-imperialist League of New York. In his letter, as printed in a recent issue of La Prensa of New York, Senor Machado, who is a veteran agitator against the Gomez regime in Venezuela and who was reported on July 8 as having renched Mexico City after having had considerable trouble in leaving Nicaragua via Honduras because of the close watch along "border, said: "We must be prepared for the imposition of a candidate (for the Venezuelan Presidency), for the possible debarking of mines, for the separation of characito and its transformation into an "independent republic," for crimes similar to those now being committed in Nicaragua. We must be on the alert. "Imperialism needs our natural riches and is ready to exterminate us, in the same cowardly and systematic way used against the inhabitants of the Department of Nueva Soyavia, at the first move on our part toward defending ourselves. The old politicians fear the power of the old men and seek their protection in the peaceable enjoyment of power and in the exploitation of our workers in return for the handing over of our national wealth. "Nicaragua is a symbol and a warning. General Sandin and his army of peasants and mine workers have demonstrated the military possibility of fighting and defeating invading troops. The colossus has been beaten and humiliated in many battles. Whatever may be the final result of the struggle, Nicaragua has outlined the proper and to be followed by our peoples if they wish to free themselves from imperialist pression. "Ibero Americ," has shown in various ways the existence of a continental conscience, making the struggle of Nicaragua a continental struggle. Nicaragua will be followed by other countries. Perhaps Venezuela will be the next. We conscious Venezuelan revolutionists must meditate upon and study our problems and bring to the future struggle a clear ideological program and a concrete plan of action. "We must inform all Hispano-Americans of our duty of solidarity toward Nicaragua. We send greetings from the mountains of Nicaragua, filled with tragedy and with heroes." West African Regiment In Sierra Leone Disbanded An army order announces that the King has approved with regret the disbandment of the West African regiment in Sierra Leone. As our readers are aware, the formation of this military unit was brought about in Sierra Leone in 1896 as a consequence of discontent of the imposition of the "hut tax" and the insurrection which broke out in Sierra Leone in 1896 when about 1,000 British subjects were molested. The regiment took active part in the Ashanti insurrection in 1900. In honor of the occasion of the disbandment, a company of gentlemen gave a dance on the night of Wednesday, June 20, under the patronage of Sir J. A. Byrne, Governor of Sierra Leone, and attended by the heads of the Government service departments and the commercial establishments, and some prominent Africans.—Gold Coast Spectator.

MISS COLLINS' ADDRESS Miss Ethel Collins, 2nd Lady Vice President, spoke as follows: "The time is at hand for the emancipation of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. The time has come for the Asiatics to govern themselves in Asia, as the Europeans are in Europe and the Western World, and so also is it wise for the Africans to govern themselves at hope, and thereby bring peace and happiness to the entire human family. The Universal Negro Improvement Association for eight years has been proclaiming to the world the readiness of the Negro to carve out a pathway for himself. Propaganda has been waged here and elsewhere for the purpose of misrepresenting the good intentions of our organization. Some have said that this organization seeks to create discord and discontent among the races. Every sensible and honest-minded person knows that our Association has no such intentions." For Constructive Work We are organized for the absolute purpose of bettering our condition industrially, commercially, socially, religiously and politically. We are organized not to hate other men, but to lift ourselves, and to demand respect of all humanity. We have a program that we know to be righteous and just, and we have made up our minds to do all in our power for the realization of this great hope of ours, based upon the foundation of righteousness. We declare to the world that Africa must be free, that the entire Negro race must be emancipated from industrial bondage, peonage, and servitude and be given the rights to which it is entitled.

Yes, hon. students of history can recall the days of Ethiopia's glory, when black civilization was pre-eminent, towering above Europe, above Asia. When Europe was inhabited by a race of cannibals, a race of savages, maked men, Africa was people with a race of cultured black men, who were masters in art, literature, and science. Men who were cultured and refined, men who it was said were like the gods. Why then should we lose hope? Black men you were once great, you shall be great again through the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, our undomitable leader of the 20th century. Los not courage, lose not faith, but go forward, get organized and you will compel the world to respect you. Lift up yourselves, men, take yourselves out of the mire, and hitch your hopes to the stars.

American Science To Fight Sleeping Sickness in Africa A cure for sleeping sickness, which claims 100,000 victims a year and which rages unchecked over an area of more than 1,000,000 square miles in tropical Africa, will be sought by a young American scientist with the aid of new drugs already given preliminary tests here. The scientist is Dr. Warren K. Stratman-Thomas, twenty-eight, research pharmacologist of the University of Wisconsin. His experiments will be under the auspices of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Parke Davis Company, which manufactures the six arsenical compounds he will use, and Dr. Clement C. Chesterman, a secretary of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, who has spent many years in the Belgian Congo and who will work with him. Dr. Stratman-Thomas will sail Aug. 2 on the American Banker. He will join Dr. Chesterman in London, and they will go to Leopoldville, capital of the Belgian Congo, which will be their headquarters. According to an announcement made by the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, the drugs already have been tested out on animals here and have proved better than any therapeutic agent now used in the treatment of African sleeping sickness—better even than Bayer 205, the vaunted drug of the Germans, the formula for which, according to Dr. Stratman-Thomas, they were willing to reveal provided certain African colonies taken from them by the Treaty of Versailles were returned. In some parts of Africa from 8 to 10 percent of the population suffers from sleeping sickness, with 100,000 cases a year reported. The disease declares whole villages and affects animals, so that today there is scarcely a single draft animal in the Belgian Congo, according to the Foundation. "With the perfection of a more rapid means of importation and intercommunication, the danger of importing new diseases and pests increases." Dr. Stratman-Thomas said. "To mitigate this danger the plagues should be controlled in those places where they originate. To Watch Cases a Year "Cases of Gambianse sleeping sickness will be selected from the villages with the help of Dr. Chesterman and his colleagues. The cases after treatment will be carefully watched for at least a year to determine if the treated patients relapse." The pharmacologist went on to say that if the drugs prove efficacious in treating this form of sleeping sickness he hopes to try them on the Rhodesiense type, which is far more virulent and is considered "nearly hopeless." Dr. Stratman-Thomas, a native of Wisconsin, holds the degrees of A. B. M. D. and Ph. D., all granted by the University of Wisconsin, and has done much work in the bacteriology of trypanosomal diseases. In the future he hopes to try new drugs on these diseases affecting animals in Argentina and the Philippine Islands.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1928 (From the New York Times) Cairo, July 22.—Egypt at last is beginning to feel that there is a strong hand at the Government helm. The attempt of the Wafd to stir up the populace of Alexandria and Cairo on the occasion of Mme. Zaghul's return to Egypt from Europe has fallen flat. Nahas Pasha issued an inflammatory manifesto yesterday which was followed by a violent speech in which he spoke of the danger of civil war and accused the Government of strangling the national liberties at the behest of the British, whom he described as "usurper." The whole Wafd strength was mobilized in Alexandria, by the authorities were ready for all eventualities and prevented every attempt to create a disturbance. The native lawyers, who threatened a three-day strike as a protest against the suspension of the Parliamentary Government, received a amusing counter stroke from the Ministry of Justice, which ordered the courts not to grant any adjournments. The Ministry ordered that if one side was absent when a case was called, to hear the other side and give judgment, and if both sides were absent, to strike the case off the docket altogether. The Ministry of Education lost no time in dealing with the schoolboy agitation, which has been one of the most disturbing factors in the political demonstration of the last ten years. It is proposed that all boys indulging in political activities shall be suspended from the Government schools and excluded from all examinations for one year and that the ringleaders will be expelled. A corresponding number of teachers will be dismissed should the number of students be sufficiently reduced. These drastic measures are considered the only way to prevent the students being influenced by the demoralising incitement of professional politicians by whom they have been exploited. London. July 23.—The British Government took no part in the suspension of the Egyptian Parliament by King Fund, Sir Austen Chamberlain, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, said in the House of Commons today. He spoke in answer to a question and emphasized that Great Britain regards any problems respecting the Egyptian Parliament and Constitution as subjects for the King of Egypt and the Egyptian people to determine for themselves. He said that in this respect the attitude of the British Government has been unchanged from the beginning of Egypt's independence. The Foreign Secretary stated that no advises on the latest developments in Egypt had come either from the Egyptian Government or through Lord Lloyd, British High Commissioner at Cairo. Sees Menace to West in Asia's Growing Millions SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.—Asia is overcrowded with ever-increasing millions and is seething with economic discontent. This is the message just brought from China by Dr. Stanley Morrison, journalist and writer, who admonishes the West to quit ignoring the East's claim for breathing spaces. "The civilized world must find a solution to this ever-growing menace to white races bordering the Pacific," he warns. "The great migrations of history have been 'affairs of the stomach.' This is the key to unrest in the Orient. These peoples of the East have just about reached the saturation point and are no longer capable of supporting their millions. "China adds to its population 3,000,000 yearly, although nearly seventy out of every thousand children born each year die before the age of two. "Japan is the most intensively cultivated country in the world, yet its population is increasing at a rate of 700,000 a year. "In India since British control the population has doubled. The introduction of machinery and sanitation has caused great masses of unemployed. More than 100,000,000 there exist on one meal a day and the average price for labor is from two to three cents a day. "Flood control, conquest of disease through sanitation, industrialization—these things have benefited the East, but they have created new problems by adding millions to the population. They forge smatters of grave concern to the United States and other Western nations." Calls Man's Best Moments Criterions of Character "Measure yourself by your best moments, not by your worst," urged the Rev. Dr. Robert Johnson of Montreal in his sermon at the West End Presbyterian Church, Amsterdam Avenue and 185th Street, yesterday morning. "We are too prone to judge ourselves by our moments of despondency and depression," he continued. "But who of us is there who has not at some time felt that all our efforts to lead unselfish lives and do good in our community or family in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds were in vain, and that we owed it to ourselves to drop all our efforts and lead our own lives?" "We have all felt the desire, at times almost victorious desire, to get away from everything and retire into a cottage in the wilderness. But we don't do it, because we are better men and women than we think we are. We carry on because we think not. We only feel." HOW 'BAD HABITS' IN CHILDREN CAN BE ERADICATED Vagaries and Abnormalities in Children's Conduct Should Be Treated Scientifically—Interesting Findings of Psychiatrist Mental hygiene work, which was instituted last fall as part of the welfare activities of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, is demonstrating the effectiveness of suitable play in solving "bad child" problems among the families of the tenement districts. Dr. Leslie E. Luehrs, psychiatrist in charge of the association's mental hygiene clinic, reports that analysis of cases of supposedly refractory children has disclosed that the abnormal behavior was due to mental or emotional "kinks." In some cases a child has been troublesome merely from an inordinate desire to "show off." This desire when given an outlet through wholesome channels has transformed a supposedly "bad child" into a brilliant student or worker. Sometimes the emotional warp has come from well meant parental restrictions on actions or associations which made the child a moody "shut-in," shrinking from realities. Cites Typical Examples Dr. Luehrs reports these typical examples from among the many cases: Case No. 1—A girl who was a "problem child." Her many bad habits included lying and stealing. Her thefts were candy and "pretty things," which she invariably gave away to other children to win their affection. Analysis of this case developed that she was a "show off" and liked to be important and admired. It was found that she had a natural gift for dancing. This was encouraged and it afforded a wholesome means of "showing off," because she became an excellent dancer. Through play, good habits supplanted bad ones. A position was obtained for her and her "show off" difficulty has resolved into an ambition to achieve recognition by developing skill in her work. Case No. 2. A boy of eight haunted the docks. He had a mania for shooting dice but seldom had the money to join in a game. "High-jacking" occurred to him as a means of getting funds. He would tip off the policeman on the beat and when the other boys raid he would gather up the stray pennies and start a game elsewhere. This boy, perhaps headed for gang leadership and more important "high-jacking," was induced to join a Boys' Club. His sporting bent is finding an outlet in athletic prowess and his leadership is manifest in getting other boys to join the club. Play as Vital as Food Case No. 3. A little girl was a "shrinker." She had a fear of places and people. She developed a tendency to "hide away." This abnormality was traced to her mother's extreme caution for the child's safety. The girl was sent to a girl's camp for the season and is becoming normally interested in girl associates and their doings. For every "problem child" examined at the mental hygiene clinic this year Dr. Luchera's report has carried recommendations for increased "play facilities" as urgent as the suggestions for therapeutic treatment. "Play is as vital to children as food," said Dr. Luchera. "It directs young desires into legitimate satisfaction and it focuses young minds on concrete results. It is the food that nourishes the child's mind and spirit. There is urgent need of greater distribution of safe playgrounds and play clubs in the more congested neighborhoods. Without proper recreation on a child's mental development and character will be warped." Nomination of "Sugar King" Ends Nicaragua Deadlock MANAGUA, Nicaragua, July 26. The deadlock which threatened the existence of the Conservative Party in Nicaragua was broken today when Adolfo Benard and Julio Cardinal, both of Grathada, were nominated as the party's candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, respectively. The nominations brought to an end the bitter fight which has been under way since May 20, when Dr. Carlos Cuadro Pasos, former Foreign Minister and delegate to the Havana conference, was nominated for the Presidency by the faction led by President Diaz, and Vicente Rappaccolli was chosen by the faction headed by General Emiliano Chamorra at two separate conventions. Long efforts failed to reconcile the factions and for a time the party leader despaired of selecting a candidate who would receive the undivided support of all Conservatives. There was even talk of abstaining from voting at the national elections on Nov. 4 on account of the bitter feelings. Adolfo Benard, styled "sugar king," is reputed one of Nicaragua's wealthiest men and is popular and influential. He is now traveling in Europe. He is the father-in-law of the present Nicaraguan Minister to Washington, Dr. Aljandro Cearal. The Conservatives believe Honor Benard can lead the party to victory. He is in sympathy with the policy of the American Administration, and several of his children were educated in the United States. Julie Vardenaal is a wealthy merchant. He formerly lived in Leon, but was forced away from there by the 1912 revolution. He is a brother-in-law of Dr. Condra Ponce. New Beauty for Your Hair Today!

Pluko ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL WITH PLUKO HAIR DYE Colonel Tells of Partiality of Birds to Natives—Scouts Idea Sandino Will Be Captured Colonel George Reynolds Shanton, former chief of police of Porto Rico and the Panama Canal Zone, who has served many years with the Department of Justice in Nicaragua, said yesterday that the American marines in Nicaragua were doing good work in their war against General Sandino. "Those who have never been to Nicaragua cannot understand the conditions that confront the marines," said Colonel Shanton. "The natives down there come and go in the jungle on their marches, but they are part of the country. The animals and birds are accustomed to seeing them around. The birds pay no attention to them; the parakeets are quiet and the alligators don't even move from their mud banks along the streams when the natives pass by. Birds Give Alarm "But let a bunch of marines come along with their canteens rattling and their heavy shoes crashing through the brush and everything is different. In the first place, there is the cocobolo bird. He is known to the natives as the 'policeman' of the jungle, and, when he hears anything strange or unusual, he proceeds to tell the jungle about it. His call can be heard for miles. "His cry is picked up by the other birds and animals. A sort of telegraphic communication is established, with the parakeets squawking, the other birds calling and even the alligators crashing through the bushes and splashing into the streams. The warning is passed along and the approach of a company of marines is known by natives ten miles away." "Every move of the marines is known. One method of spying is to take a dead alligator, about fifteen feet long, and throw the body on an ant heap. The ants clean out the body, leaving only the skin. A native crawls into the skin and floats down a river to an American encampment. In his crocodilian disguise he crawls to within a few feet of the camp and runs very little risk of detection. Thinks Capture Impossible "These handicaps and the lack of roads make the capture of Sandino almost impossible. Some good work has been done with airplanes, but even then the jungle still offers a protection. "I think the best settlement will be made politically. I believe the coming elections will help matters and a political settlement can be made later. "American money will have a great effect in gaining peace in Nicaragua. If American industrial enterprise can be developed in the country, paying the natives living wages, it will help a great deal in quieting the trouble Nicaragua is in bad shape and it is going to take the Americans, with a policy of clean government, to put her on her feet again." Poor Negro Wins $7,000, So A. P. Enjoys a Thrust GREENSBURG, Pa., July 24 — Arrival of Arthur Hill, Negro mill worker of Moncassen, attracted such a crowd at the railroad station here that residents thought Lindbergh had dropped in. But Arthur proved the sole attraction, save for the bankroll of $7,000 he had just won on a baseball pool ticket. He says he had only as many friends as he has fingers and toes before he won the pool on a thin dime, but now he has appended to police for a bodyguard to halt the rush of wistful-eyed maidens and borrowers. Police induced him to bank all except $800. Then he bought a ticket for "Nofok, Vahigah-ya," where he will visit relatives. start full of PEPI! New ENERGY, VIM, VIGOR!

WANG DISAPPROVES CHINESE RELIEF PLAN Foreign Minister Considers Proposal to Build Roads With American Gifts Improper SHANGHAI, July 23.—Dr. C. T. Wang, Foreign Minister of the Nationalist Government, said this afternoon his government was unable to approve of efforts in America to raise $10,000,000 under the program of famine relief calling for road building and other items of reconstruction. The Minister told Earl Baker, special representative of the Famine Relief Fund Committee of New York, that the attitude of Nanking was highly favorable to any move purply to aid the famine-striken Chinese. "However, I understand the project calls for a program of road building and general reconstruction," he said. "This would take scores of millions of dollars, and I believe it would be an impractical project for foreign philanthropists. Furthermore, reconstruction is the duty of the Chinese Government, and acceptance of such an offer of charity is certainly beneath our dignity. We are not beggars." Dr. Wang praised the famine relief work done by Americans in the past and said he would highly welcome similar projects in the future, but considered the scope of the present project, as outlined by Mr. Baker, as impractical and likely to be unpopular among the Chinese. He added that eventually China doubtless would desire to call on foreign financiers for loans for just such work as road construction and other reconstruction projects, but commented "these must be on a basis of loans, and we are unable to consider such a project on a charity basis."

IMPORTANT CHANGES HINTED IN PHILIPPINES Filipinos.Hear Stimson Has Plug Under Which Leader of Legion lature Will Be Premier. MANILA.—The first period of simulations of the eighth Philippine Legislature opened on July 10 under auspices circumstances, generally considered highly favorable to the enactment of constructive legislation. With the pledge of co-operation by the Filipino leaders to the administration and harmony between the executive and the Legislature, the priority of important changes in the administration and in the form of local government looms large in talks in lagoon lative circles. Governor General Stimson's name is linked with plans to establish in the Philippines a semi-parliamentary form of government, advocated by him in an article last year in "Foreign Affairs" and which has always been favored by Senator Segrio Osmens, a leader in the Legislature. Although both the Governor General and Senator Omema have refused either to deny or confirm these reasons they have admitted that they are formulating plans which may give lot in the improvement of the government and its operation in the semi-parliamentary plan, the pino leader in the Legislature assume the role of a president and other members of the cabinet, of which the leader, all to be appointed by the Governor General with the consent of the insular legislature. It would involve the formation of the cabinet made up of six executive departments, posts which have never been permanently filled, with the accession of one of the Department of the Interior, the cabinet crisis in 1992, and the body resigned as a protest against an act of the late Governor General Wilson. That crisis marked the beginning of an co-operation with Governor General Wilson.

Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention, to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. Al Smith for President Al Smith, the new leader of the Nation's Democracy, deserves the whole-hearted support of every thinking Negro in the coming Presidential election. If there are any Negroes who are inclined to be prejudiced because of a not unreasoning fear of the party to which he belongs, they should be warned against hasty judgment. How to cast his vote in November should present no problem to the Negro. The record of the Republican party and its choice of Herbert Hoover as standard bearer make the duty of the Negro with a vote remarkably clear, the question of a choice ridiculously easy. It would be little short of treason for the Negro in the year 1928 to yield to any blandishments of the G. O. P. and return to power a group of dissemblers who, to protect black men from the Huffins, would give them sanctuary in a den of lions. The Republican party has completely forfeited whatever claim it might have had on the suffrages of Negroes. It has been down-rigid dishonest with the Negro. Deceltful and cruel, it promised the Negro bread and proffered a stone. In times past, before the last shred of decent dealing had vanished from the Republican party, sops were thrown grudgingly to the Negro. Here and there in the nation a few Negro leaders, or vote-deliverers—call them what you will—were given moderately lucrative positions and seeming high place in the body politic. When the rank and file of the deluded Negro masses cried out under the loath of oppression and discrimination, the Grand Old Party would point to these leaders as evidence of its large and liberal heart, of the equal opportunities and recognition it was willing to accord regardless of color, and as an earnest of its intention to secure for all Negroes whatever was their due as citizens and as human beings. Today, even that pretense has been abandoned, and the Republican party stands naked and unashamed as the wrecker of Negro hopes. Milling around the altar of expediency, it is now busy crucifying Perry Howard and his associates, Walter Cohen, Ben Davis and the rest, so that it may with better grace woo the forces of `bigotry and intolerance in the South. The Negro Committeewoman from Mississippi may not even lunch in Washington, D. C., with her white Republican associates, and while the photographer is at work, at the close of a political meeting, she must stand in the "end place on the back row." No one now need doubt that "Republican" is just another label—a label to which was imparted something of significance for the Negro by Lincoln, but which has since been converted into a badge of deceit and death. The unmasking of the Republican party which has been precipitated by the candidacy of Smith for President is the most helpful thing that has happened to the American Negro in political circles since his enfranchisement. In the past, the American Negro has been predominantly Republican because self-respect and expediency prevented him from being anything else. In past years, what has been known as the Solid South has always been considered the stronghold of the Democrats. It is an open secret that the chief business of the Solid South is to disfranchise the Negro, so that white supremacy may remain unquestioned in that section of the country. Thus, the Democratic party has been regarded as the most implacable foe of the Negro. And it is plain common sense to fight your enemies. The national temper of the Republican party has been lukewarm for a long time, but the Negro had no choice if he was to remain in the political swim. The present political upheaval, bringing with it complete desertion by the Republican party, is making the Negro face certain facts that he should have faced long ago. Fact No. 1 is that Republicanism, as such, has not meant anything of consequence to the Negro for more than twenty-five years. This change in the attitude of white America has been gradual, but certain. An entirely new generation of white Republicans has risen up and this new crop has little in common with the Republican of other days with whom the old-line Negro politician used to deal. During several successive national campaigns Negro Republicans have not had a log to stand on and their pitiful attempts to bolster up a lost cause have ofttimes bordered on comedy. This condition could not continue to obtain. If the change had not come in one way, it would have come in another. A new crop of black Americans has also come. This progressive, intelligent group of voters has determined to use the franchise in what seems to be the most sensible manner without regard for former political affiliations and traditions. The only reason the Negro ever had for being Republican was because that party was at one time friendly, but the present attitude of the party leaves no room for doubt that there are as many prejudiced Republicans as there are Democrat. This surely removes any reason for party loyalty. When the dust settles from the political storm which is now raging around Smith as a candidate for President, a permanent change will have come in American politics. The Negro must benefit from this change. A section of Southern Democracy claims to oppose Smith because of his extreme wetness. This ought to appear as a huge joke to the man who knows his South. The ocean is hardly any wetter than the Solid South. Beneath this camouflage the prime reason for the opposition to Smith's candidacy is his liberal-mindedness. In the final analysis, this should always be the main consideration of the Negro when choosing a candidate in this election or in any election, local or national. The Negro may not expect much in any event, but he surely can expect less from the tight-lipped, hide-bound, custom-ridden type of individual which we have had with us for the last seven years. As the leader of his party, the President exerts a certain influence which must not be overlooked or minimized. A broad-minded President is the ideal leader of a democracy, and his influence and decisions must benefit the Negro as a member of the body politic. Even if the Republican party had not shown itself utterly unworthy of the Negro's support, Smith ought to have been the logical choice of the black voter. His intense interest in the well-being of the every-day American citizen and his thoughtfulness and fearlessness in directing legislation helpful to great groups of common citizens make him the natural choice of the people regardless of their color. He has demonstrated his fitness for leadership and we have every reason to believe that he will continue to do so. The fact that arrayed against Alfred E. Smith in the political arena are the sinister forces of intolerance alone should commend him to the favorable consideration of the black voter. The foes of Governor Smith—the Kluxers, the 100-per-centers and the what-nots—these are and have ever been the avowed enemies of Negroes. If Smith wins the election, he will have triumphed over a group that would with a smile consign the Negro to the bottomless pit. Hoover, to win, must flirt with such factions. Smith is about to give battle to the monster, Prejudice. Hoover is about to appease his wounded heart. Every vote given to Hoover, every vote withheld from Smith, is a nail in the coffin of Negro progress. We have never believed that salvation for the Negro has ever resided in the hands of either party. The real hope for the Negro lies ultimately in winning the respect and recognition that is accorded an independent people. The Negro will only become free and independent when he builds for himself on the continent of Africa. But there is no one in the political field today, here on abroad, to whom the Negro can look to with greater assurance for sympathetic treatment than Alfred E. Smith. A great liberal, of broad vision, earnest, honest and courageous, he will not evade his great responsibility as the head of the greatest nation on earth. With Smith as President of the United States it is fair to assume that the status of the Negro the world over will be bettered by such influence as this Republic may choose and is able to exert. With Hoover in the White House you may be sure of a swift descent, nationally and internationally. Let men of other races say what they will, but for the Negro a vote for Smith is not only sound politics but pure self-preservation. TUNNEY THEY tell us that Tunney has always abhorred prize fighting and that, for this reason, perhaps before these lines see the light of day, his retirement from the ring will be announced. Well, all we can say about it is that this is a prize piece of Anglo-Saxon buncombe and hypocrisy. Nobody, as far as we know, ever told Tunney that the peace and well-being of the world would be disturbed and jeopardized if he did not buckle on the bruiser's gloves. The ex-marine, with malice in his heart—malice toward Negro competitors—zealously sought to earn an industrial captain's stipend by the use of his brawn. He did not cherish hard punches to the jaw or midriff, but he was chasing the dollar. He happened at a time when the heavyweight field was impoverished and Tex Rickard, the shady Texan, was annually staging "battles of the century," and he succeeded in his dollar quest. Now if Tunney feels that he has achieved his ambition—millionaire status—and is unwilling to take any further chances of being blinded, or having his nose smashed, or the regularity of his Elizabethan features otherwise impaired, let him say so. But it is childish, to say the least, to have him once again jump astride his hobby horse and exclaim, "Odi profanum vuleus." If Tunney should quit the boxing game, his going will not be lamented by black folks. By a curious irony Negroes are as anxious as the jauniced Tex Rickard that Tunney should depart. Tunney drew the color line and for that cowardice he has earned the contempt of Negroes. Because he temporarily halted his attack the other night when, studiously or inadvertently, he had blinded his foe, Heeney, is, in our judgment, no passport to greatness. Therein we differ from the New York World. For our part, we will always think of Tunney as a prejudice-ridden pigmy who, pining for the society of the prigs of the earth, thought of embracing Shakespeare. And not even George Bernard Shaw nor England's dissolute prince can give him absolution.

July 26.—The story of China as the first great world state interested in disarmament, and of Confucius, Chinese sage, as the first great statesman to advocate the cause of world peace was told yesterday by Dr. Chen Huan Chang. Peking philosopher, at a luncheon given in his honor by the World Peace Union. Dr. Chen is on his way to Geneva to represent the Confucian movement at the Universal Religious Peace Conference to be held there shortly. He is the leader of that movement in his own country. "In the sixth year (548 B. C.) of Confucius," Dr. Chen told his audience. "China had an international conference for disarmament. It was the largest organization working successfully for world peace in the earliest history of mankind. The conference consisted of ten leading nations. The result of the gathering banished all wars for eight years. Formed First World State "At that time Chin and Chu were the two strongest nations of all. Each led an alliance. Between these two hostile nations, China on the north and Chu on the south, was the nation of Sung. In consequence the nation of Sung became the natural peacemaker, for, taking advantage of her location, she initiated the movement and invited all the nations to attend the conference of disarmament that was held in her capital. "In the 331st year of Confucius (221 B. C.) China began to realize the Confucian principles to abolish all the states and united them into one Chinese world under one Government. This was the first world state that ever appeared in human history. Before the Western countries came into contact with China she had enjoyed a life of a world state and had developed the ideals of universalism instead of nationalism. "You can see the vital difference between China and the European countries in history. With China, she did succeed in uniting the Chinese world under one Government for over 2,000 years. When you come to the history of the European countries you will find that they have utterly failed to make one world state in many attempts." Taught Brotherhood of Man In speaking of Confucius, Dr. Chen defined his great principles thus: 1. Heaven is the lord of the universe and loves all creatures. 2. Universal love of mankind, irrespective of racial differences. 3. The distinction between the civilized countries and barbarian states is not on the basis of racial differences nor of geographical situation but on the basis of property and justice. "4. Reciprocity is the fundamental principle for international relations That is what you do not want done to yourself do not do to others. "5. Truthfulness is the real binding force of international relations. Without truthfulness the world will go asunder. "6. All war cannot be justified because all nations standing on equal footing have no right to make wars against each other, although in some cases there might be one war better than the other in comparison. "7. There are divisions of territories, but not of people, as all the people in the world are in one family. "8. The whole world is a great unity, disregarding national strength and geographical advantages of locations." Cancer Not Infectious Says French Scientist PARIS - Dr. Claude Regaud, cancer specialist at the Pasteur Institute, has disclosed results of experiments indicating that cancer is not infectious. A number of patients suffering with this disease are constantly under treatment at Calvale, Hospital, and figures collected over a long period fall to show any tendency on the part of other patients or members of the hospital staff to contract the disease. The fundamental cause of cancer, he says, is not contagion, but inherited physical characteristics. Town in Argentina Elects Full Communist Ticket BUENOS AYRES.—Argentina has just discovered that the town of Canada Verde elected a communist municipal government at the last election.

It is not a fairy godmother with jobs for a few, but a means of determining public policies for the people.

A Striking Velite Face One of the reasons the Mon. Marcus Negro politicians and intelligentsia is lessly uncovered the nakedness of race deception and treason. As time rolls justice triumphs. Just a few months back the Chile severely criticised Garvey for proclaiming that will command the respect of races to give him consideration." The vision or are past masters at the game and his subsequent deportation opinions Garvey had already given severely criticised. The Negro masses, upon whose light mercilessly prey, are not fully aware suckers. It therefore becomes the day from the clutches of extermination who enjoy the confidence and respect comes from one outside the pale cohorts of the intelligentsia. One of the reasons the Mon. Marcus Garvey incurred the displeasure of the Negro politicians and intelligentsia in the United States was because he ruthlessly uncovered the nakedness of race leadership and laid bare their hypocrisy, deception and treason. As time rolls by, however, truth gets a keening and justice triumphs. Just a few months back the Chicago Defender editorially admitted that it severely criticised Garvey for proclaiming ten years ago, namely, that "the black man is the world's goat, not because he is black, but because he has nothing that will command the respect of the world—nothing that will force other races to give him consideration." The intelligentsia have either seen a new vision or are past masters at the game of deception. Since Garvey's imprisonment and his subsequent deportation the Negro press has been voicing many opinions Garvey had already given out to the world and for which he was severely criticised. The Negro masses, upon whose ignorance and mental lethargy race leaders mercilessly prey, are not fully aware that they are the victims of these blood-suckers. It therefore becomes the duty of those who desire to save the race from the clutches of extermination to expose the corrupt practices of those who enjoy the confidence and respect of the masses, especially when the light comes from one outside the pale of Garveyism and numbered among the cohorts of the intelligentsia.

Yes, we lose not because of any prejudice with right selfishness, nonsense and sh Negroes do not want real political the white folk with it." What Garvey has said from a thousand platforms is forcefully recited here by the Atlanta Independent in one of its recent editorials: "The more we study our economic and political problems the more convinced we become that the Negro does not want political representation. "We are more divided among ourselves, one against the other, each pulling for himself and against everybody else. "Our game is purely one of 'if I can't get it, you shan't have it, and I'd rather see a white man with it. "All of the racket about race representation is bunk. What the average Negro leader wants is a place for himself. It is to hell with the race if I can get what I want, and I'm not particular about the methods or means used to reach the coveted end." (Hero Mr. Davis gives us a vivid picture of what went on among the Negro politicians, delegates to the Republican National Convention at Kansas City.) "At Kansas City there was a great campaign about race representation and there was not a single organized effort among the Negro men and women present to secure representation for the race or to increase its economic and political influence in party councils. There was a bunch of self-constituted leaders propagating race representation every day and there was no organization among these propagandists. What they were trying to put over was to make themselves important and create a market in which they might sell an influence which they never had. "The Negro press was so busy propagating yellow journalism and misrepresenting the Negro delegates that it never thought of the welfare of their kith and kin. They were out for a red letter night and never had time to think of little things like economic opportunity and political freedom. . . . Yes, we lost prestige at Kansas City, but it was not because of any prejudice without the race, but because of our downright selfishness, nonsense and short-sightedness within the race. No. Negroes do not want real political representation, they would rather see the white folk with it."

Now, ladies and gentlemen, where will the race get with such a leadership? Certainly a bunch of fawning, cringing, weaklings like these are fit not for leadership, but, in the language of Shakespeare, "for strategems and spells." If we are to survive the impending catastrophe we must throw such leadership overboard. We can't tolerate two slave masters, one black and one white. Garvey leads the way. Garveyism is the lighthouse afar. Africa holds the answer to the problems. Eventually will organization, the U.S.A., this program, nationhood for Negroes, will become the battlecry of the teeming millions of black men everywhere.

The Parent Body is being muilted out of thousands of dollars annually through the unserrupulous practices of some of our individual officers. Month after month reports are sent up to New York without funds. Excuses are advanced covered with eloquent assurances of loyalty to the cause. Now, there can be no plausible excuses for sending blank reports to the Parent Body because once the members pay their monthly dues and taxes and yearly assessment which are vouched for by the divisional records, there can be no explanation to the contrary. The Hon. Marcus Garvey makes a weekly request of all members to see that these reports are first read and then forwarded with remittances to cover same. This is a duty the members must not shirk if the Parent Body is to function intelligently and without embarrassment. Examination will prove that nine times out of ten divisions which send in back reports are living beyond their income—their monthly expenses exceed receipts from collections, donations, entertainments and percentage of dues and taxes.

Except in exterminating circumstances where special authority from the Parent Body is seated in divisional officers to meet certain specific obligations by which the association at large has been benefited, the Parent Body does not license divisions to utilize its funds for local purposes, and the members should see to it that this practice is discontinued forthwith.

Puliman Porter’s Tips Average $25 a Month, Questionnaire Reveals NEW YORK, July 30.—A question- naire went to Pullman porters through- out the country showed, according to M. P. Webster, organizer of the Broth- erhood of Sleeping Car Porters, that the “actual net income from tips” averages $23 @ month. This figure was reached by subtracting from the tips the occupational expenses which the porter must pay. It was not explained why thin deduction won made from the Ups inxtead of from the total earnings Ups and wages. An average of $58 a month wan re- ceived in tips. while $33 a month wan pala out for occupational expenses. Webster sald, the amount of tps vary ing according to the run and the sen xen. The conrequent uncertainty of income wan one of the evils to which the porters object. he added. “In anawer To the questionnaire 378 porters reported tips of Isa than $30 a month, while 243 recetved more than that amount,” Webster continued. “Five portera got Iran than $15 2 menth, winlle two earned more than $200. Yet each porter had approximately the name dutles, spent nearly equal time on the road and rendered a service on ‘poor aa well axon ‘rich’ runs. Thus the unequal distribution of tip income makes it highly unsatisfactory, “The Pullman Company Is the real gaines as a result of the Upping sya tem. It saves on {t+ wae DIK about $7,000,000 a year which the publi payn to the Pullman porters. “The minimum wage paid porters is $72.50 a month.

DIVISIONS TELA, SPAN. HON. Commencing at 3 o'clock Sunday June 24, the Tela Division staged its 5th anniversary in its Liberty Hall, President D. Erasmus Thorpe presiding. After the regular formalities, President Thorpe acting chaplain the meeting was opened by the singing of the opening ode and Scripture lesson from St. Mathews Gospel, Chapter V, after which a hymn from the ritual was sung. The preamble of the association was read by the President and President-General's measure, and by Miss L. Flower, followed by the singing of President-General's hymn. At this stage the master of communities rose and made the introductory remarks, followed by a soul-stirring address by the First Vice-President, Mr. G. Goldburn. The program of the evening was as follows: In his usual eloquent manner, President Thorpe encouraged the people to join up and carry on the association, knowing that the second chapter has just been started. He wound up his address by the reading of his resignation as president of the division. He promised to continue its work in the ranks but in order to make way for another, he vacated the chair of president. President Thorpe is a faithful worker of the organization and the Tela Division has lost a fine president. We hope that all the members will make themselves interested in the program, throw in their lots, and assist in turning the wheel of progress in the behalf of the U. N. I. A. We have been able to keep the doors of Liberty Hall, open during the past year, and generously hope that the community will arise again and shine with the true spirit of Garveyism.

The general mass meeting of the Best Limon Division was held on Sunday July 8, when the members, friends and well-wishers filled Liberty Hall to hear the address of the Hon.

A WORD OF THANKS FROM MIAMI The Miami Division of the Universal Vegro Improvement Association wishes to thank the many divisions, members and friends who so willingly and ably assisted the division in its struggle to liberate our two brothers who were recently incarcerated and persecuted for a crime which they did not commit. They were acquitted because of the able defense of Attorneys T. E. Price and J. Walter Kchoe through the ready financial assistance of members and friends outside of the division who made this defense possible. We thank Heaven for the victory and fervently pray that the time will soon come when the entire race will stick together in a crisis as the members and friends of this Association have done in this matter.

MONTREAL, CANADA Slowly but steadily and surely the wheels of the Montreal Division turn on the road of progress. Negro uplift and racial achievement. Our Sunday meetings are not well attended using to the tourist and holiday season, many members being out of town or employed in occupations that prevent them from attending.

S. has fallen in line and is rendering splendid service with his saxophone, Prof. Edwin Mills has resumed his post as musical director and with the assistance of Mr. Clark adds zest and harmony to the programs.

This event attracts large crowds every year as does our annual picnic to Atterburn Park, which will be held this year on August 2. We expect to break our record of last year when over 450 persons attended. A five dollar cash prize is to be offered to the person who can guess the attendance at this year's picnic.

PARADE MEETING T 5, 1928, 2 P. M. THE GREEN-NEMO OUTRAGE Hon. J. A. Craigen Appeals for Small Balance Necessary to Complete Payment of Expenses for Successful Representation of U. N. I. A. Members in Florida Case 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 Garvey 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 Garvey, did show that Green and Nemo were agents of his.

MARCUS GARVEY'S LONDON ADDRESS i Philippine Volcano Stampedes Natives MANILA, July 28.—Western Albay province was held in a grip of terror today as the volcano Mayon began a new rampage, shooting tons of lava hundreds of feet into the air, while the entire countryside shook and rumbled in a series of earthquakes. Swayed by superstition and fear of the volcano, many of the natives fleed at the beginning of the phenomenon. A few hours later, as the flow of lava showed no signs of abating and the earthquakes and rumbled continued, the few persons remaining in the town of Labor, near the foot of the moun- Yours truly Pope Bars Prelate's Trip To U. S. Before November ROME, July 28. Pope Pius has instructed Cardinal Sincero, who will soon sail for Canada, not to enter the United States on the trip. The Pontiff does not wish the Cardinal to visit American territory during the Presidential campaign lost his presence he interpreted as a desire on the part of the Holy See to influence the Presidential election. The Pontiff has expressed a wish to keep entirely out of internal questions in the United States. Cardinal Sincero is sailing for Canada on August 9 to open the Cathedral of Montreal. He had desired greatly to visit the United States, where he has many friends. The Pontifix, on the other hand, has willingly approved a visit of Cardinal Cerretti to the United States because the latter will arrive at San Francisco on November 18, when the Presidential election is over. Cardinal Cerretti is going to Australia for the Eucharistic Congress and then will visit Washington, where he once served as auditor to the Apostolic Legation. (Continued from page 3) lishment of a "plantation system" similar to that which made slavery profitable in the Southern States is the deliberate policy of American rubber interests, backed officially by Secretary of Commerce Hoover. Such is the declaration made in the petition officially placed before the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations asking that the situation be looked into. The inquiry into the Liberian rubber interests of American capital was made by Raymond Buell, former professor of history at Harvard University and now affiliated with the Foreign Policy Association. "Forged Labor" Seen According to Buell, who spent a year in Africa Investigating, the United States Government has adopted a plan entirely different from that of the French and British. These two nations, although bitterly attacked at times in the past for their exploitation of natives, have deliberately excluded European-owned plantations from West Africa because the systems are prejudicial to the interests of the natives. The United States, dictating Liberia's administration, is favoring the other system, which, according to Buell, will make "forced labor and the confiscation of natives' land inevitable." The evils of "forced labor" already have been dwelt upon by Prof. A. E. Poss of the University of Wisconsin in his investigation of Portuguese Angola. Portugal sent a special delegation to the League Assembly to obtain a white-washing The conditions developing in Liberia, said to be the direct result of the intervention, of Secretary Hoover and other elements in official Washington, on behalf of the rubber interests, chiefly the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, are even more serious. The Mandates Commission Already is informed that the Liberian Labor Bureau recruits an average of 100 workers daily for the Firestones. This information comes through Henri A. Junod, president of the International Society for the Protection of Natives, who presented the petition to the Magistrates Commission. Britain Also Hit Washington is not the only Government to suffer by the report. Great Britain's intention to establish the Dominion of British East Africa presages serious consequences for the natives, says Buell, pointing out that already Kenya Colony forces 35 per cent. of the native male population to work for European farmers. He says the future of East Africa rests in the hands of the Mandates Commission. Buell charges that forced labor exists in all parts of the Belgian Congo, although the Belgian Government "courageously endeavors to restrain the development of the industry for the salvation of the native population." French Conscript Natives Premier Hertzog of the Union of South Africa also is praised for his efforts to solve the situation to the satisfaction of whites and Negroes.

The French, likewise, especially in their mandates and territories, are seeking to better the economic and political condition of the natives. On the other hand, in French Equatorial Africa military conscriptions have made great ravages among the natives, while forced labor for private concerns and confiscation of territories are most prevalent, since the Mandates Commission is powerless to interfere. American policies in Liberia are said to be based on purely financial considerations, and are unhindered because of Washington's domination of the Liberian Government. It appears, it is said, that if Secretary Hoover is elected President of the United States, he will become virtual President of Liberia, on behalf of the American rubber interests which are exploiting a 1,000,000-acre concession. The Firestone $5,000,000 loan is said to have been forced upon Liberia under terms of which the period of indebtedness is increased. To date only about half of the amount of the loan has been issued, of which $100,000 has been applied almost entirely to the repayment of the existing Liberian obligations according to Buell. Buell further says the arrangement empowers the United States President to "deskrate" officials who will direct the interior and external financial deal- WHY WORK FOR LESS?

Despite the traditional "open door policy of the United States in China, and the insistence upon equal opportunities in the mandated territories, the United States Department of State, "upon Firestone's evident desire to exclude all possibility of control by the French or British which might inconvenience his plans," is said to have persuaded Secretary Hoover to exert the pressure to put the loan through.

Faecints Abroad Told To Send Children Only To Italian Schools Rome, July 24.—Italians living in foreign countries have been ordered to send their children to Italian schools, instead of those of the nations in which they reside, under pain of being summarily expelled from the Fascist party in case they already belong to it. This order was issued by Piero Parini, secretary general of the Foreign Fascist organization, presumably with Premier Mussolini's approval. The section dealing with this subject follows. "The secretariat general of the Foreign Fascist organization unfortunately has been obliged to observe that various compatriots residing abroad continue to prefer sending their children to foreign schools instead of to local Italian schools. These cases are all the more deplorable, since it is inconceivable that a good Italian would forego having his own children grow up with instruction in the language of the mother country thus forming a spirit according to our secular culture.

Nuevitas, Camaguey, Cuba To the Editor of the Negro World: For the last seven years I have been working night and day in our great movement and my impression today is that garryism, or in other words, Nationalism for the black man has come to stay. In 1920 I came into the great movement in Preston, Orlando de Cuba, having recently arrived from Jamaica, B. W. I, fresh from the schoolroom as a first class school teacher to the island that gave me birth. That feeling of better treatment for the black man was always uppermost in my mind and when I heard of the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association I decide there and then that the time had come for me to link up and do something for my group in a bigger way than as an elementary school teacher in the island. I joined the division and was appointed general secretary. Members began to pour into the division and it became one of the largest foreign divisions of the movement. Because of the great strides we were making the powers that be in Preston, United Fruit Company is plantation, got uneasy, by thinking the U. N. L.A. would strike strikes if allowed to go on at the rate we were going, arrested me along with others, and because I refused point-blank to answer as I was told to do when brought into the office of the superintendent. I was knocked about, and subsequently placed in jail from 3 p. m. to 7 p. m., when I was let out without any further notice taken by the authorities, except that we were refused work in that section of Cuba. Shortly after this incident, I called for New York to lay the matter of our treatment before the president-general, Hon. Marc Garvey, and also the officials of the United Fruit Company in Boston. That was nearly 5 years ago, and I have been closely allied with the work all these years and I can faithfully y to the world that 'No devil, no Itell' can prevent the full realization of Nationhood to the black man. The s is shining, and no one can or will be able to stop it.

Wartime Prices May Follow Shortage of Cattle in U. S. CHICAGO, July 28 - Retail prices of beef in Chicago are the highest they have been for many years. Experienced shoppers throughout the country soon will not be surprised to see an occasional porterhouse steak sell at the wartime price of $1 a pound. In a shopping tour of retail districts today porterhouse steaks of various grades were found priced up to 90 cents a pound. North Side butchers are asking from 75 to 100 cents a pound for their best grade of porterhouse, and some as high as 90 cents a pound. Several retail meat markets in the Loop district were offering the best beef cuts at the following prices: Porterhouse, 50 to 70 cents a pound; sirloin, 35 to 40 cents; round, 40 to 45 cents, and rib roast, 30 to 45 cents. Prices seem to run higher outside the Loop and in suburbs. The reason given for the rise in prices is that there is a shortage of beef cattle in this country.

UNITED AGENTS W, BOYS, GIRLS Good Profit LING THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1988 New York Spends More Money Per Citizen Than Other Populous States Washington, July 26.—The New York State government spends more money per citizen than other thickly populated States, and its debt is relatively large on a per capita basis, but the State property taxes are light. Census Bureau statistics for recent years showed today. Most of the money spent by New York is raised by special taxes, the bureau reports showed. The State government spent $144,710,772 in the fiscal year 1927—$12,233 for each person in the State, compared with Pennsylvania's $8.51 per capita in the same period. Ohio and Illinois, according to 1928 statistics, spent $5.58 and $6.61 per capita, respectively. The total revenue of New York was $14,573.75, or $18.96 per capita, compared with Pennsylvania $13.55, Ohio's $13.43 and Illinois $10.52. Special taxes cost the average New Yorker $10.65 in 1927, compared with $9.43 the year before and $4.03 in 1918. The State ad valorem property tax was $2 per capita, compared with $5.70 the year before and $1.34 in 1918. In Pennsylvania, special taxes amounted to $7.54, compared with $5.28 the year before and $2.13 in 1917. The Keystone State imposes no ad valorem property tax.

Illinois' special taxes amounted to $5.39, and the State tax to $4.99 per capita—on aggregate per capita increase of $3 in ten years. New York State's net debt is $244.24,498—$21.50 per capita, compared with $19.81 the year before and $17.91 in 1918. Pennsylvania's State debt is $22,400,007—$9.56 per capita. Ohio's State debt is $3.18 per capita, and Illinois' $19.39. These State debts all show increases, most of which are due to highway bond issuance. New York's total indebtedness includes $259,649,000 spent for highways. If the spring puts forth no blossoms, in summer there will be no beauty, and in autumn no fruit.
