AMELIA SAYERS, BOX 22, STATION L, NEW YORK CITY Fellowmen of the Negro Race, Greeting: I am today writing from the capital of France. I have been here for several days representing the interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the race. I am pleased to report that I have found not only Paris, but all France, kindly disposed toward the black man within the Republic. The charge that we lay against America and England for their social, industrial and political prejudice against the Negro within their national bounds cannot be laid at the door of France. The black man here is accorded the same social rights as any other man. That is to say, if he represents a certain social status, there is no discrimination against him because of his race or color. This, as you know, is not true in England nor America, where to be black is a social crime. Black Men Accommodated Black men, if they can pay the fare, will be accommodated in the best hotels, clubs or public places in France. The blacks who are employed here receive the same wages as the whites; they are given a living chance and, therefore, are placed in an economic position to take care of themselves. This is not so in England, as I have explained in a previous message. The Englishman discourages the employment of the black man in England so that he shall not be encouraged to go there; he is kept there in economic poverty. As stated, that is not so in France; he is given a chance to live. Living Carefree The Negro I have observed here is living a carefree life, much to my regret. Because of the privileges allowed him, he has not developed a race consciousness in France as racially helpful as that which we have developed in America and other parts where we are struggling for Racial Nationalism. France in the Colonies While France, hqwever, is accommodating to Negroes in France and treats them with courtesy and respect, it is quite different in her Colonies in Africa. In the French Colonies, the Colonial Administrators adopt a different policy toward the native than is adopted in France, where he is regarded as a citizen.' The usual method of exploiting the Native African is the order of the day. This is purely a subtle economic policy which we very well understand and which we will ultimately take care of. This is the Finds French Republic Courteous and Fair to Black Men in France, While Maintaining Policy of Oppression in Africa NEGRO IN FRANCE IS CAREFREE OWING TC LACK OF SPUR TO RACE CONSCIOUSNESS Warns the Race Against Losing Its Idealism to Build Constructively for Itself Working Plan to Further Great Ideals of the U. N. I. A. Cemented with the French Nagro reason why the Universal Negro Improvement Association urges every black man, French, English, American, Italian, German or Belgian, to forget accidental Nationalism outside of his own race and to remember that the first appeal to us as black men is that we are black and because we are we must have a common outlook economically, politically, socially, religiously and other Negroes Within the Republic I honor France because of her treatment to Negroes within the Republic, because ultimately that is the only treatment that will bring about a smoothing over of the irritable race problem. American and British Negroes who come to France may expect decent and courteous treatment in keeping with the French internal policy, but we must not forget that we are black men so as not to lose our racial national pride and self-respect and give ourselves entirely over to the flattery in a way that tends to undermine the black man's hope of autonomous nationalism. Loyal Negro First I interpret the attitude of the French toward the black man as a gesture toward making him a good Frenchman rather than a loyal Negro. This may be good for France, but when all things are considered, it is not the best for the black man, therefore, those Negroes who go to France must realize that while it is their duty to appreciate the French spirit of courtesy, it is not for us to lose our racial Idealism, the accomplishment or achievement of which will be the only permanent solution of the race problem. Men Like Du Bois I can well see why men like Du Bois, who generally follow the line of least resistance, advocate miscegenation er, father, brother, sister, sweetheart, wife, or other read the world over, R THE AFRICAN U. N. L. A. should have a copy to study the principles of the greatest and assimilation ideas as the solution of the Negro problem. In France they find it easy to maintain this kind of idealism leaving them, therefore, little effort to create on their own account. But the serious and self-respecting Negro cannot allow himself to be intrigued to such an easy but impermanent solution of a problem as grave as that of black and white. More Sympathetic to France Comparatively speaking, the black man ought to be more sympathetic and friendly toward France than any of the other major nations, like England and America, because he is beetter treated. He has representatives in the administration of the Government and he has the privilege opened to him of becoming anything in France other than being President of the Republic, except he was born in France. It may be remote for the Negro to becoming Chief Magistrate of France, but still deserves without prejudice. This is not so in England. Working Plan Established We have already cemented a working plan with the French Negro by which we hope to carry out the great ideals of the U. N. I. A. My visit to France is, indeed, profitable, and I do hope for great results. Our convention of next year will surely bring together the greatest scattered array of Negroes ever assembled for any serious purpose. Again I salute you and convey to you the best wishes from the Negroes of France. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant, Marvin Gayey President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Assn. Paris, France, July 23, 1928.

BERTIES UNION REPORT S LESS ACTIVE REPRESSION AT MORE SETTLED INTOLERANCE 27 Figures Show Decreases in Mob Violence and Lynching, Though Lynchings Exceed 1924 and 1925—Finds Instruments of Repression, Though Not in General Use, Strengthened by United States Supreme Court Decisions Decreases in mob violence and lynching, together with continued progress of the Ku Klux Klan on the road to oblivion, are noted in the annual report of the American Civil Liberties Union, just issued. All 1927 figures for civil liberties violations, taken together, show a decrease of one-third since 1926, and are representative of 1928 conditions, says the report. All are lower than those for any other year since the war, except that for lynchings, which exceeds the 1924 and 1925 figures. Contrains decreased repression for the country in general with continued violations of the civil rights of race minorities and of workers wherever conflicts arise. The Union says that "two active repression but more active intolerance" marks the United States today. As evidence of illimited repression it cites the release of all political prisoners but one, no new prosecutions under criminal syndicalism or sedition laws except in Pennsylvania, the failure of all repressive laws introduced in Congress and state legislatures, and the lowest number in years of cases of mob violence, police interference with meetings, and dismissals of teachers for their views. The reason for the decrease in repression, the Union says, is that "there is little to repress. Militancy in the labor movement has declined, and radical political movements are not strong enough to arouse fear." The Union characterizes the general public "attitude as one of indifference and in- listence more settled and apathetic than at any time since the war. There is little protest, little activity." But the report points out that the machinery of repression is intact, and that wherever conflict arises it is used. The chief centers of conflict in recent months have been the coal fields of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Colorado. The report states that the number of violations of civil rights in those centers during the last year "but numbers those for all the rest of the country put together." Pennsylvania is listed as ahead of all other states in violations of civil rights. It is the only state, says the Union, when the sedition law is still invoked. The report also cites other centers of recent violence. New England textile workers have gone on like a warrior's Party, as the most active men by organization, gets beaten of were "wick." Pelho interite. Since with public meetings has decreased in most cities, acco Union. Newark, N. J. uses for the last year, cities in the coal and of Pennsylvania come generally improved condition so as active repression goes is reflected in letters from scores of correspondents of the Civil Liberties Union in every state. Conditions were reported as better than a year ago by correspondents in 15 states; 31 said there has been no change in the last year. In two, Colorado and Illinois, conditions were reported as worse; in Colorado due to the coal strike, in Illinois on account of the "activities of military patriotic organizations." Citing replies of correspondents as to the most active agents of intolerance throughout the country, the Union says that local posts of the American Legion were named by 19 and the Klan by 16. The Fundamentalists got 10 votes on that score the D. A. R. 2. Despite the fact that the instruments of precession are not in general use, they have been strengthened in the last year by decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, according to the Union, notably in the cases sustaining the state criminal syndicalism laws. The report reminds the friends of civil liberty that 34 states have criminal syndicalism and sedition laws; ```markdown ``` THERE is nothing quite like Bayer Aspirin for all sorts of aches and pains, but be sure it is genuine Bayer; that name must be on the package, and on every tablet.

A notable exception to adverse court action on civil liberties issues was the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court, knocking out the Texas law for bidding Negroes to vote in primary elections. The court called this statute "a direct and obvious infringement of the Fourteenth Amendment." One of Granady Killers Who Threatened to Tell Found Dead in an Alley CHICAGO, July 21.—Swift death by bullets followed the appearance of Bennie Zion before the Special Grand Jury investigating the crime conditions and election corruption in Chicago. Zion was a 26th Ward gunman, who took part in the kidnapping and murder in that ward on Primary Day. He was named in six indictments charging kidnappings and had been identified as one of the mier who took part in the murder of Octavius C. Granady, Negro lawyer, who was candidate for committeeman against Morris Eller, boss of the ward. Zlon was arrested and held in $220,000 bonds. He threatened to talk unless bonds were furnished by the men who employed him. He was taken before the Grand Jury, but what he said was not made public. His ball was reduced and he was released. Today his body was found in an alley in the rear of No. 2414 Roosevelt Road. He had been shot five times in the head and chest. The body is supposed to have been carried to the alley. "Several habituates of the saloon of William Mather nearby were arrested. Evidence of a struggle was found in the saloon. Special Prosecutor Frank J. Loesch, commenting on Zlon's death, said: "This goes to show the terror that has gripped the gangsters following the numerous indictments for Primary Day work. Word reached me several days ago that the underworld was terror-striken and that there probably would be some killers to prevent conviction. "They killed Zion because they thought he had 'aquwaked,' said Capt. Siege, investigator for the Grand Jury. "With Zion out of the way our case against the Grandy killers is hampered." $75,000,000 Spent Yearly By U. S. Tea Drinkera Fifty million people in the United States drink annually 30,000,000 cups of tea brewed from 100,000,000 pounds of leaf tea, which costs the housewives of the country 75,000,000. These figures were announced ye tuesday at a meeting of the Tea Association of the United States at 107 Warter street, New York. "Yearly tea consumption in the United States is less than a pound per capita," the report reads. "Australia, the world's leading tea-drinking nation, has a per capita consumption of eleven pounds annually. England consumes eight pounds and Canada six." Exerts in the tea industry estimate there are in the world 1,000,000,000 tea drinkers, who consume 306,000,000,000 cups of tea annually. The average yearly world production of finished tea is 755,000,000 pounds. Science Socks Cloth Tough as Cable Steel Cloth with a tenile strength comparable to a network of steel cable in the dream aroused by recent partial successes in solving the mystery of the carbohydrate molecule. What causes the molecule to arrange itself into certain relationships with its fellows to produce certain substances, and how these arrangements can be produced by artificial means is one of the problems with which Professor Monnier and Professor Dore, of the University of California, are now concerned. While they are chiefly interested in the scientific phase of the experiments it is said that such a discovery should be of incalculable value to industry. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1988 LAND OWNERSHIP FILIPINO CASE THREATENS RIFT Land Restriction in California May Hurt Co-operative Efforts in Manila—Filipino Puts New Issue Up for U. S. Test—Citizenship Status Involved WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.—With the movement gaining way to exclude Filipinos from United States citizenship and immigration, the question whether they may own land in restricted California areas has unexpectedly hobbled up before the Department of Justice. Of more importance than the individual case itself is the possible effect an adverse ruling may have on the tentative program of native leaders in the Philippines to co-operate with the new Governor-General, Colonel Henry L. Stimson. A basis part of the Stimson policy is to lift restrictions on the size of land holdings of Americans in the islands, especially in the interest of American sugar and rubber companies. Any emphasis at this time on land restrictions in this country against Filipinos is expected to stiffen the island opposition to modification of Philippine restrictions against Americans. Pedro Guevara, Philippine Resident Commissioner here, has made representations to the Department of Justice in the case of Francisco Ohera, a Filipino. Property Was "Restricted" Obera asserts that, after living in California since 1915, he recently bought a house in Alhambra. After he moved into the house, his American neighbors objected to his presence. They demanded that he vacate on the ground that his property was "restricted." He was not given time to ascertain the nature of the original deed, he says. Obera wrote Commissioner Guevara, who advised him to remain on his property pending a legal decision. The Bureau of Insular Affairs, in answer to an inquiry by Guevara, has now reaffirmed that there is no law preventing Filipinos from owning land in the United States and has cited California decisions that Filipinos are not "allens." The bureau, however, did not pass upon the right of an American citizen to make a restrictive deed. Guevara has submitted the information given him by the Bureau of Insular Affairs to Attorney General Sargent for an onion. A Distinc'ion The bureau's letter to Guavara follows: "The bureau is aware of no provision of law which would deny citizens of the Philippine Islands, as such, the right to own real estate in any part of the United States. "While there is a distinction between citizens of the United States and citizens of the Philippine Islands, there is also a distinction between citizens of the Philippine Islands and allens or persons owing allegiance to a foreign government. Citizens of the Philippine Islands owe allegiance to and are entitled to the protection of the United States. "Thus Filipinos are held not to be aliens within the meaning of the United States immigration law, and the Attorney General of California, in a letter to the Resident Commissioner of the Philippine Islands, dated July 18, 1921, rendered the opinion that: 'It would appear therefore, that with the federal enactments and interpretative decisions controlling, a citizen of the Philippine Islands is not an alien as that term is used in the alien poll tax law of California, and is not subject to the provisions of that act.' Confined to Caucasians "This bureau does not know, of course, whether or not the title of the land which Obera has purchased contains special restrictions against ownership by one of a race other than the Caucasian, or specifically barring Filipinos as well as all others." According to information furnished the Commissioner by the Huntington Land and Improvement Co., which asked Obera to vacate, there is a clause in the original deed providing that the property should "never be sold, leased or occupied by an individual of any other than of the Caucasian race." Another phase of the general Philippine-American controversy, that concerning whether the native government should pay salaries of and thus maintain some control over technical advisers of the American Governor General or whether the United States should pay and control these advisers, is discussed in an official statement by the Philippine Press Bureau here today. V. G. Human, director, expressed gratification over a Manila dispatch stating that the Philippine Strike had appropriated $125,000 for the annual salaries of the Governor General's advisers. LONDON, Aug. 1.—An autograph letter from Abraham Lincoln to General John A. Dix was sold today at Hotheby's for $4,750 to Menaura, Magna, London bookstore. The letter, which is dated January 14, 1842, and is marked "Private and confidential," discusses the underlying reasons for issuing the Emancipation Proclamation. The largest price of the day, $17,500, was paid for autograph correspondence and the personal library of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1629-1762), a society leader, who introduced the practice of inoculation for smallpox and engaged in many apited controversies with the literary men of her day. Rumer Says Plan is Directed at British in India—Indo-Afghan Tribes Mobilizing NIMLA, India, Aug. 1. — Holy war against Christianity is being planned in Afghanistan, according to frontier rumors reaching here, which, however, are not confirmed. According to a report from Jalalabad, King Amanuullah, who recently returned from a tour of Europe, is recruiting $6,600 tribesmen at the rate of $15 monthly for a holy war which could be directed only against the British in India. Although the rumors are unconfirmed, persistent reports which go to the length of naming proportions in which the Indo-Afghan tribes are being mobilized are regarded as to some extent borne out by the fact that a delegation of 800 Slemund and Mohmand tribesmen recently left for Kabul to interview the King. The rumors also coincide with the exposure here of an anti-British movement among a section of the Sikhs in the Punjab province, where orators under the cloak of meeting extensively to assist the depressed classes are said to be extolling a Bolshevik revolution an example of victory of the peasants against oppression. Officials here, however, are most skeptical about the Afghan rumors in view of Amanullah's apparently favorable reaction to his European tour, but the King is known to be encountering stiff opposition to modernizing methods from the most fanatical tribesmen. SAILS FOR CONGO TO MAKE WAR ON THE TSETSE FLY --- U. S. Scientist to Experiment With New Serums in Fighting Sleeping, Sickness in Belgian Congo—Sent by Guggenheim Foundation NEW YORK, July 31. A youth of 28 sailed this afternoon on the American Banker, confident that he carries with him an elixir of life for the 100,000 victims claimed each year by African sleeping sickness. He is Dr. Warren K. Stratman-Thomas, A. B. M. A., Ph. D. M. D. of the University of Wisconsin. He has six new drugs, which he has perfected in five years of work with Dr. A. S. Loosenhart, professor of pharmacology at the University of Wisconsin. One of these six drugs, Dr. Stratman-Thomas feels confident, in the serum for which scientists and doctors have been searching for 200 years in their efforts to arrest a disease which has prevented the development of more than 1,000,000 square miles in Central Africa. Will Go To Belgian Congo In London he will be joined by men acquainted with conditions in Africa and together they will enter the heart of the Belgian Congo where sleeping sickness in its most virulent form is to be found. At the offices of the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, under whose auspices he is making the trip, Dr. Stratman-Thomas today said: "Of course, I think I have found the serum that will put an end to sleeping sickness. Otherwise, I should not be making this journey. "I will remain in the Congo for at least a year, and more likely two years, conducting my experiments. If they prove as effective as I believe they will, I may stay on for several more years to supervise the distribution of serum. "Though I have never been in Africa, I understand that one of my most serious problems will be inducing the patients to submit to injections. May Use All Six Seruma "In a general way, I suppose I shall be able to use two or three, or possibly all six of my scrums in each locality where I make my tests. I will then observe the varying effects, and gradually determine which of the six scrums is most effective. It will also require experiments to determine how many injections should be given. Two Varieties of Disease. Dr. Stratman-Thomas said there is no resemblance between the African sleeping sickness and that found occasionally in the United States. The cause of the disease here has not been determined, but the germ causing the African illness was isolated nearly twenty years ago. Hereforefore, however, no serum has been found which would kill the germ without also killing the patient. As the serums cannot be injected with effect as a preventive, Dr. Stratman-Thomas and his companions will themselves be subject to infection from the tsetse flies which carry the disease germ. GENEVA. According to Swiss statistics there were last year in Europe 50,000 smuclides, which were distributed in a very unequal proportion among the different nations. For every 100,000 inhabitants, it is said, there were 26 smuclides in Hungary and in Czechoslovakia, 23 in Germany, 22 in Austria, 17 in France, 15 in Hungonia, 14 in Sweden and in Denmark, 11 in Finland, 10 in Great Britain, 8 in Italy, 6 in Holland, 5 in Norway, 6 in Spain and 2 in Switzerland. The principal causes are given as poverty and insecure disease. PANAMA PARTY QUITS ELECTION. CHARGING FRAUD Coalitionists Withdraw From Presidential Campaign, Leaving Field to Administration Candidate—Liberal Candidate Elected BALBOA, C. Z., Aug. 2. — A unique situation in the political history of the Republic of Panama developed this afternoon, when the Porras National Coalition party withdrew from the presidential campaign, thus leaving next Sunday's election uncontested and assuring a victory for Florencio Harniope Arosemela, the Liberal or Administration presidential candidate. A manifesto issued by the defectors of the Porras party requests its adherents not to vote on Sunday, and sets forth reasons in justification of its withdrawal. The only contest on Sunday, therefore, will be for national Assemblymen between the Liberals and Conservatives, the latter being a Liberal offshoot organized by President Chilari's brother allegedly to guarantee the President's re-election in 1932, the Assembly naming the Electoral Board. The Porras manifesto follows: "The lack of electoral securities, due to systematic outrages against Dr. Jorge Boyd's supporters, the lack of voting certificates, which have been largely monopolized by the government party; intimidation of Dr. Boyd's supporters by official agents, imprisonment of the opposition leader charged with law infringements, an excess of registration certificates accorded; government supporters, armed forces exhibited throughout the country to terrify the peasants and keep them from the polls, misuse of public funds for electoral propaganda, government control of the election machinery, control of the judiciary, making impossible the obtaining of fair treatment for the oppositionists in cases of conflict with the adversaries, faith in the promises of Secretary Kellogg, who declared to the world that the American government would watch closely the Panama elections and that it would not recognise a candidate elected through fraudulent methods." Demand Kellogg Investigate The Porras directors declared that if Mr. Kellogg's statements were sincere he was bound to investigate after the elections to see whether the charges against the government regarding election frauds were groundless. The government has completed preparations for the elections and ordered saloons and cabarets for the noon on Saturday to be as and as Monday. Prowiers have been more than by sentries near army bases, both sides of the isthmus, leading the military authorities to believe that politicians are trying to steal ammunition. Sentries at all magazines will be doubled and the Thirty-third Infantry will be posted on Sunday across the border near the Hotel Tivoll, Ancon. Liberal Party Declared Winner in Election PANAMA CITY, Aug. 5.—Panama's Presidential elections today established a record for tranquillity, no disturbance of any nature being reported in the country-wide polling. The Republic's principal cities, Panama and Colon, were uncannily quiet, the streets being virtually deserted all day long. All bars were closed. Despite the entire police force had been on duty since last night, there were no arrests. Telegraph reports from the interior indicate there was no disorder. An unofficial check indicates an overwhelming victory for the Liberal or Administration party for the forty-six seats in the National Assembly and for municipal councils in sixty-nine electoral districts of the Republic. Arosemena New President The election of the Liberal Presidential candidate, Florencio Harmodio Arosomena, was previously assured by the withdrawal by the Oppositionists of their candidate, Dr. Jorgee Boyd, who is in Washington. The only contest centered in the fight for the Assembly seats and for places on the municipal councils. The voters cast their ballots in booths situated in boarded off streets in convenient locations, the voter entering on one side of the street and emerging on the other under the surveillance of tellers, inspectors and police, both afoot and mounted. Vigorous Fight Waged The Conservative Labor and the Young Independent parties waged a vigorous fight with the Liberals for Assembly and Council seats. Labor was unusually strong in Colon, while the strength of the Young Independents was largely confined to Panama City. The Labor and Independent forces, however, are closely allied with the Liberals, so that whatever minorities they succeed in obtaining are likely to work with the Liberals, thus giving the latter political control. Mexico's Church Ban A Blow to Marriage MEXICO CITY, Aug. 1.—The institution of marriage has virtually disappeared from the Indian of Mexico since priests were ordered to cease arranging their functions two years ago. The order, given by the late Apostolic Bishop Mora, titular head of the Catholic Church in Mexico, went into effect on Aug. 1, 1921. Although Catholic leaders my communicans are as silent in their faith as ever, many observers believe the people, through shopping of services, are becoming inviolates. HONDURAS MINESIS BOUNDARY DELEGATION Guatemala Says Settlement Commission Remains Active and Should Fix Provisional Frontier GUATEMALA CITY. Aug. 5.—The Guatemala-Honduran boundary question became further complicated yesterday when Honduras formally dismissed her boundary delegation with the thanks of the government, as it was considered that their task had terminated in view of the new negotiations initiated through the good offices of the American Government. Honduras, it is recalled, refused the American alternative proposal to submit the dispute to the Central American Tribunal, and suggested that either President Coolidge or Chief Justice Taft became the arbitrator. Guatemala, however, takes the position that in view of the failure of Honduras to accept the Central American Tribunal settlement proposal, the Boundary Settlement Commission remains active and should proceed to fix a provisional frontier under the chairmanship of Roy T. Davis. Guatemala also considers the Honduran action as unilateral, having effect only as far as Honduras proper is concerned. It is argued that the tri-partite agreement, entered into by the two countries at Cuyamel last April, specifically provided that the Mixed Boundary Commission should recess but not disappear. BOMBAY, Aug. 1.—Concentration today at Nurat of two British regiments, two companies of calvary, a machine-gun section, two armored cars and an air force squadron, indicates with what seriousness the Bombay government regards the passive resistance movement begun last February in two "Talukas" or sub-divisions of Bardol for which Nurat is headquarters. The immediate threat of trouble arises from certain fields recently confiscated by the government for non-payment of taxes. The passive resisters, who claim virtually the unanimous support of the 88,000 population of the district, plan to repossess themselves of these fields. the women to till the soil while the men offer passive resistance toward government officers approaching the fields. Meanwhile the government has served notice to all inhabitants that any attempt to till the confiscated fields will be considered interference with government property. The active workers of the movement have organized themselves into twenty-four camps distributed throughout the district with 1,500 volunteers for work among the people and 600 for "intelligence work" in anticipating and reporting every move of the government. The chief danger of bloodshed, however, is believed to lie less in Bardoli than in possible results elsewhere as the result of Bardoli clashes. At present in Bombay, for instance, there are 150,000 mill hands on strike. Their condition is said to be desperate and it is feared events at Bardoli may stir them to violent action. Appalling Record of Crime in Chicago; 130 Gang Murders In 1926 and 1927, there were 760 murders committed in Chicago and Cook County. In which the city is situated. More than a third of them were set down on the police records as unsolved mysteries. Convictions were obtained in about 22 percent of the other cases, but mostly on accepted pleas of guilty to crimes less than murder. For the 760 murders, there were only ten hammings. The record of murders is only half the story of violent deaths in Chicago and Cook County. A total of 1,438 persons lost their lives through manslaughter, "auto manslaughter," abortions, "undetermined violence" and "justifiable homicide." Among the "justifiable homicides" were 89 killings by policemen. Justification for all of the killings by policemen was assumed. Included in the total of violent deaths were 120 gang murders. Not a man has been punished for one of them; not one man is now in jail or out on hand or under official supervision in connection with any of the gang murder cases. There has not been one conviction. Finds Spiritual Intoxication Like That Produced by Wine PERTH AMBOY. N. J., Aug. 8.—Drinking too deeply of the wine of worldlyness producer in Christiana a spiritual intoxication whose effects are analogous to those visited upon the individual who partakes too freely of liquor, the Rev. Dr. Frederick B. Middermeyer, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, declared in his sermon this morning. "In his efforts, spiritual intercession is similar to that which is physical." he said. "There is a period of unresolved election when a man feels suddenly lifted up and indulged by the laughter that betrays a three happiness and below joy. The fraction of wealthy things holds him in the throes and he makes settlement for adjustment. He ignores the things that are eternal while he overcomes those that are transitory. Being in a sort of eternal heaven of suffering. --- CHINESE PLEASED BY CONCILIATORY JAPANESE NOTE Crisis Averted on Question of Treaty Abrogation—America's Action Seen as Reason for Temperate Tone—Manchuria Still Boiling BHANGHAI. Aug. 2.—The Sino-Japanese crisis seems to be getting into smoother waters. Japan's note replying to Nanking's notice of abrogation of the existing commerce treaty which was held up several days for revision has been received in Nanking, and its temperate and conciliatory tone raises hopes that a pacific settlement is possible. The spokesman for the Nanking government said today that he did not expect difficulties in meeting Japan's request for suspension of the interim regulations, because, while the regulations were technically effective, they had not been enforced. However, it is unlikely that Nanking will reply to Tokyo's note for several days, because the plenary session occupies all members of the government and China's whole policy regarding Japan and treaty revision is being carefully considered. The present status of the United States and China on treaty matters seems obscure here. When Secretary Kellogg's note was received the Foreign Ministry understood from its Washington representative that the modus vlendi regarding tariff autonomy soon would be followed by a general tariff discussion. It now appears from the note that Minister John Van A. MacMurray represented to C. T. Wang. Foreign Minister, that Washington did not intend to proceed further now. This interpretation greatly detracts from the importance of the move of the United States with the Chinese, who were hopeful that Secretary Kellogg's action was an entering wedge for a broad treaty revision. This limitation, however, does not lessen the immediate diplomatic effect of America's action, which caused Japan to pause, and already it noticeably influences the Sino-Japanese situation. It is hardly doubtful that if Secretary Kellogg had not acted Japan's first draft of its note, having the character of an ultimatum, would have been delivered. America's evident interest also has affected the Manchurian situation, where Japan's military pressure has been relaxed. Momentime, Japan's interference, preventing a compromise between Nanking and Mukden, may cause a renewal of war between the Nationals and Northerners in Northern Chill Province, where about 100,000 Northern troops under General Yang Yu-ting have been waiting developments at Mukden before returning to Manchuria. When young General Chang went to Mukden after his father's death, Yang Yu-ting, with the best divisions of Fengtien troops, remained inside the Great Wall. That was interpreted throughout Marchurla as the reluctance of the Fengtien party to put its entire army, within Japan's reach, fearing they would be disarmed. Yang Yu-ting is believed to be strongly anti-Japanese. Harmony is believed to exist notwithstanding the continuous disruptive propaganda spread chiefly through Japanese and foreign news agencies. 2,000,000 IDLE SOLDIERS CALLED PERIL IN CHINA Nationalists Decide to Reduce the Army to 500,000 SHANGHAI—Victory has left on Nationalist China's doorstep more than 2,000,000 idle coolie soldiers, the greatest unemployment problem ever faced by an infant government. Nationalist officials have determined to reduce the army to 500,000 men for the present and concentrate on seeing that this number is trained and properly equipped. The remainder of the ragged military organisation which conquered the country from Canton to Peking must face the unpleasant task of working for its rice. The Nanking government has announced a program of compulsory military training for all Chinese universities in order to assure the future army of well-disciplined officers.

Mime, do Mena Stresses Need for Support for Things That Must Be Done—Membership Answers Her Call Local Officers Deliver Heartening Addresses LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, Aug. 5.—The members of the New York Local turned out, as is usual, in full force tonight on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting. Hon. J. H. Miller, 1st Vice-President, occupied the chair, while taking a prominent part in the proceedings was Mme. M. L. T. de Mena, who returned from a speaking trip to Camden, N. J., to lend her presence to the occasion when the members pay special tribute—on the first Sunday of the month—to the work and worth of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. GREAT OPPORTUNITIES Are Open to Young People Trained for Business as Stenographers, Typists, Bookkeepers The Braithwaite Business School 2376 Seventh Ave., N. Y. City Telephone Audubon 9071 OPENS THE FALL TERM MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10th Through Course of Training in STENOGRAPHY, TYPEWRITING, BOOKKEEP- ING, ENGLISH, PENMANSHIP, ARITHMETIC DAY AND EVENING CLASSES Our students get good paying positions in the Civil Service and Business Concerns MORE INFORM — Start September 10th GREETINGS FROM CAMDEN, N. J. Mme. de Mena, after emphasizing that there were things to be done which required finances, plunged into a stirring appeal for funds. She said she had changed her plans at the last moment in returning to New York and brought greetings from the Camden, N. J., Division, which, she was glad to say, had taken on new life and was more than holding its own. The other speakers of the evening were Mrs. L. McCartney, 1st Lady Vice-President; Mrs. Ethel Collins, 2nd Lady Vice-President; Mr. J. Harrison and Mr. J. Boltram. THE SPEECHES Mr. Harrison, ever popular with Liberty Hall audiences, enthused as in his inimitable way he stressed the necessity for Negroes to keep their eyes on the worthwhile things of life. Mrs. McCartney counselled perseverance and loyalty that knew no swerving, while Mr. Boltram spoke of the great pleasure that was his to labor in the South for the cause. Mrs. Ethel Collins, in the course of a brief address, apoke as follows: "If the Negro were to live in this Western Hemisphere for another five hundred years, he would still be outnumbered by other races who are prejudiced against him. He cannot resort to the government for protection, for government will be in the hands of the majority of the people, who are prejudiced against him. Do they lynch Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans or Japanese? No. And why? Because these people are represented by great governments, mighty nations and empires, strongly organized; yes, and ever ready to shed the last drop of blood and spend the last penny in the national treasury to protect the honor and integrity of a citizen outraged anywhere. "Until the Negro reaches this point of national independence, all he does as a race will count for naught, because the prejudice that will stand out against him, even with his ballot in his hand, with his industrial progress to show, will be of such an overwhelming nature as to perpetuate mob violence and mob riot from which he will suffer and which he will not be able to stop with his industrial wealth and with his ballot. When Negroes Were Freed Sixty-four years ago Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation that four million Negroes in this country were free. Several years prior to that Queen Victoria of England signed the Emancipation Proclamation that set at liberty hundreds of thousands of West Indian Negro slaves. We are descendants of the men and women who have suffered in this and other countries for over two hundred and fifty years under that barbarous and brutal institution known as slavery. Negroes were taken from the great Continent of Africa and brought here for the purpose of using them as slaves. Without mercy, without sympathy, they worked, they suffered, they bled, they died. But with their suffering, with their blood, which they shed in their death, they had a hope that one day their posterity would be free, and we are assembled here tonight as the children of their hope. At the Bar of Justice "The Psalmist had great hopes of this race of ours when he prophesied, 'Princes shall come out of Egypt, and Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God.' Yes, the Hon. Marcus Garvey and a great Prince of Ethiopia has come forth to save his people and his race. See him at the bar of justice for the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. Let us support him in his effort a free and redeemed motherland, Africa." French Women to Try Novel Way to Force Senators to Give Vote PARIS, Aug. 3.—Because the Senate has blocked passage of a bill granting women the vote, French suffragettes have declared war, a war in which they plan to concentrate on the morality of their opponents' private life. This, they say, is a Senator's most vulnerable point. Active members of feminist associations have constituted themselves into a corps of detectives, each one being told off to watch a cretain Senator. The women decided violent manifestations are out of date and ineffective. Besides, they do not care to be floged by the police. Their new method is subtler. Each anti-feminist Senator will find himself dogged continually. His private life will be opened to scrutiny and the women say they will be ruthless. "We will follow them everywhere," said one of the leaders of the new campaign. "We will nail their vices, weaknesses, ineptitudes, and expose them to the public so that the latter can see the kind of men who refuse to give women the right to vote. But the women have taken care to announce that any Senator who declares himself in favor of the vote for women will be exempted from these attentions. Pullman Planning To Break Strike The Pullman porter is keeping the manager of the Pullman Company on the tenter-hooks. To break the threatened strike the company spent in excess of $1,000,000 to build up a machine that, thanks to the strategy of William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, and the willingness of A. Philip Randolph and his associates in the Brotherhood of Pullman Porters to take expert advice, it has had no occasion to use. It is costing much money to keep the machine in shape, yet the management dare not scrap it for fear that a strike order will find it unprepared. Meantime the travelling public is not getting the service it has been accustomed to, for many of the Negroes from the rural sections of the South, recruited as strikebreakers, are being taught their trade on some of the crack trains. Last week on a night train from the East the writer encountered one of these rookies who did not know the stations on the line and who made heavy weather of the comparatively easy task of making up berths. On the other hand the brotherhood is under heavy fire from the Communist element, operating as the American Negro Labor Congress. This group, unable to secure a hall in Harlem, is now publishing the "Negro Champion," in which all who are working with the brotherhood are excoriated weekly. Just who is financing this group is a mystery. "But," says Mr. Randolph, "we are certain to rout them. The work is moving promisingly forward." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1928 White Men Weighing Plan to "Change Climate of North Africa" By Creating Inland Seas White Men Weighing Plan to "Change Climate of North Africa" By Creating Inland Seas Nearly Every Country in the World Represented—48 Chinese and 28 Japanese Enrollment at the summer session of Columbia University numbers 14,007 students, an increase of 150 over last year, when 13,857 registered. Of this number 9,735 are women and 4,272 are men. Registration of men compared with women shows an increase this year of 1.25 percent over 1927. More than half of these students are engaged in teaching. Another feature of the enrollment is the increase in matriculated students working for degrees. There are 7,435 matriculated this year, an increase of more than 3 percent. The largest increase in enrollment is from the Central and Western States, whereas the number from the North Atlantic States dropped. New York State has the largest number of representatives with a registration of 4,203. Pennsylvania is second with 1,139. Nevada has the smallest number with two students, and Wyoming is next with seven. There are sixty-nine students from Hawaii, the Philippines, Porto Rico, the Canal Zone and Alaska. Total foreign registration is 222, the largest delegation being from Canada, with 127. There are forty-eight Chinese, twenty-six Cubans and twenty Japanese registered. Nearly every country in the world has at least one student at the university this summer. Two college presidents are enrolled in summer classes. There are also 151 superintendents, 472 principals, fifteen deans of women high schools and sixteen of colleges taking courses. Survey Shows Race Groups Split on Election Issues That there is no "foreign vote" in the United States is the conclusion reached by the Foreign Language Information Service after reviewing recent editorial comment in several hundred newspapers published in this country in languages other than English. The service, with offices at 222 Fourth avenue, New York, is a nonpolitical educational organization supported by popular subscription, which for ten years has been interpreting America to the immigrant and the immigrant to America. "It is apparent." declares Read Lewis director of the service, "that upon the candidates and the major issues of the campaign, such as prohibition, farm relief and religion in politics, the Worcestershire opinion among foreign language editors is as great as among the editors of newspapers published in the English language. There is not only a lack of unity of opinion between the various racial groups, but each group seems to be split within itself. There are in American approximately 7,000,000 naturalized citizens entitled to vote in the coming election. Georgia G.O.P. to Name Whites for Electors ATLANTA, July 31.—Georgia Republican leaders today announced that white Presidential electors will be selected as a direct overture to disgruntled Democrats. Hitherto Republican electors from Georgia in the main have been Negroes, who compose the bulk of the party in this state. Dissolution today of an injunction preventing the Republican State Central Committee from naming the party electors split the party into two factions, one of which supports Benjamin J. Davis, a Negro, who failed of re-election as National Committeeman at the Kansas City Convention. Roscoe Pickett, chairman of the State Committee, has been deposed, according to the Davis faction, for failure to support Davis, G. F. Flanders, a Davis adherent, has been named to the chairmanship. Pickett and Flanders have called meetings of the State Committee to name Republican electors, the Pickett meeting being scheduled for Aug. 11, in Macon. The Flanders meeting will be held about the same date. Leaders of each faction say white electors will fill their slates. Meanwhile Democrats express little fear of desertions in November. LONDON, Aug. 4.—A plan to change the climate of Northern Africa by creating inland seas in the Sahara Desert is being considered seriously by the French Government, and the Cabinet is expected to make a decision on the question in September. Dwight Bramman of New York is the engineer who presented the plan and undertook to raise in America $50,000,-600 to further the project. He made an intensive engineering study last spring of the arid wastes lying below the level of the Mediterranean and extending from the Gulf of Gabes westward to Biskra. He formulated plans to cut three ship canals forty feet deep and 600 feet wide connecting the Mediterranean Sea at Gabes with three dry online lakes called "scoothes." The first canal is to be ten miles long and will extend from the Gulf of Gabon to Shott Djerid. A second, six miles in length, will connect Shott Djerid with Shott Rharae, and the third will run from Shott Rharae to Shott Meitr, which ends not more than a mile and a half from Meitr. It is estimated that Mediterranean waters by means of these canals would permanently flood some 10,000 square miles, reaching from Gabon westward. This would mean a water route of U.S. CHURCHES GAIN 8,000,000 IN TEN YEARS Catholics, with 3,000,000 Gain Leads All Other Denominations All Own Property Valued at Four Billion Dollars WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—There were approximately 85,000,000 church members in the United States in 1926, including the 18,604,000 members of the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic tabulation was announced by the Census Bureau today. Churches of all denominations own buildings and equipment worth approximately four billion dollars, and their expenses for 1926 ran well above $800,000,000. At the last religious census, in 1916, the bureau enumerated 41,926,000 church members, who owned property worth $1,676,000,000 and had annual expenses of $328,000,000. The figures are not strictly comparable, however, since denominations with a membership of about 5,500,000 were not reported in the 1926 enumeration. Cathalice the Wealthiest The Catholic Church is by far the largest and wealthiest. It owns property valued at $337,000,000 and spent $204,000,000 in 1926. Its membership in 1916 was 15,721,815, showing a gain of nearly 2,000,000 in the 10 years, and its property has more than doubled in value, being worth $374,000,000 in 1916. Its nearest rivals in numbers are the Jewish congregations, with 4,087,000 members, and the M. E. Church (North), with 4,080,000 The Catholic Church has more than 13,000,000 members east of the Mississippi and north of the Mason-Dixon line. New England has 3,000,000 Catholics, New York 3,115,000, New Jersey 1,055,000, and Pennsylvania 2,124,000. The northern Middle West States had 4,138,000, including 1,352,000 in Illinois, 312,000 in Indiana and 972,000 in Ohio. South Atlantic States had less than 1,000,000, even including Maryland's 223,000. Figures for other States:— Kentucky, 177,000; Tennessee, 24,876; Alabama, 36,019; Oklahoma, 46,723; Texas, 555,899; Colorado, 125,757; New Mexico, 174,257; and California 720,803. Growth About 8,000,000 The actual growth in all church membership between 1916 and 1926 is probably about 8,000,000. Director Murphy, of the religious census, says also that children of younger age are being included in church memberships, so that part of the 8,000,000 probably includes younger persons than were included in 1916. The bureau has registered 1926 figures for IH communications out of 200, the total being 51,721,322. The feature of the report is not only the growth of the churches but their consolidation. The communicants of 1916 worshipped in 227,487 edifices. Those of 1926, although they numbered 8,000,000 more persons, have only a few, if any, more church buildings than in 1916. The total buildings so far enumerated for 1926, for 51,721,000 members, are 205,368. The congregation of 1926, averaged about 252 persons. That of 1925 aver- aged about 184. The following table gives membership figures for 1916 and 1925 for several denominations: Decomination 1916 1926 Unitarian 62,515 60,152 Salvation Army (workers) 25,054 74,768 Friends (Outholders) 92,329 91,253 Universalist 58,568 54,937 Evangelical Lutheran Syn- dication of No. America 777,701 1,202,620 Latter-day Saints 402,358 457,900 United Lutheran 763,506 1,218,944 Christian 118,737 112,706 Congregational 791,274 901,846 Presbyterian (in U.

E. South 2,114,490 2,457,694 In some denominations, notably Lutheran and Protestant Episcopal, all communicants are now counted as members, whereas in 1916 only adults were counted. The Christian Science Church, not enumerated since 1906, had in that year 85,717 members, against 202,098 in 1926. about 250 miles for searching ships through a part of Tunis and deep into Algeria. The main purpose, however, is to affect climatic conditions and increase rainfall, which, Mr. Braman undertakes to demonstrate, will be the result. His scheme is based on that of a commission of French engineers, among whom was M. de Lesseps, who in 1882 made a minute survey of the entire region. Among the high French officials who conferred with Mr. Braman over his comprehensive design were Premier Poincaré, Andre Tardieu, Minister of Public Works, and Albert Sarrout, Minister of the interior. M. Tardieu made arrangements for Mr. Braman to present it to the Resident-General of Tunis, Lucien Saint, and to M. Borden, Governor-General of Morocco. They and their experts are now studying the plan. The American engineer must have a concession before beginning operations—and on that the French Cabinet must decide—of about 14,000 square miles of territory adjoining the flooded areas. These territories are in no sense a man's hand, for they are under nominal spheres of influence of certain Arab sheds. But as they stand they have no nomination value. Make your hair look up-to-date!

The popular theory of Nordic supremacy over other world races has no real foundation, and arises from the concept of the Nordic, Prof. R. D. McKenzie of the University of Washington said during a round-table discussion of the Institute of Politics here today. No basis for this supposed supremacy exists from a biological point of view, or from that of technical development, and the assumption that people's wits superior technical culture are superior to peoples without that culture has no scientific validity, the speaker declared the white man's advantage over the Oriental, for instance, resting merely in the fact that the white man "got the start." Informative discussions of national and international affairs have entered upon their second week at Williamstown, where the Institute of Politics is in session. Political and economic problems on the shores of the Pacific; inter-American relations; the protection of citizens in foreign countries; agriculture, and Turkey and its rehabilitation are among the continuing subjects that will be discussed in round-table gatherings and general conferences; also there will be lectures on Belgium and Turkey. "The more we study and classify human beings scientifically into types," Prof. McKenzie told his group of listeners, "the more confused we become about the meaning of the term race, because the people of the world are all mongrels, hybrids of mixtures of migrating people of the past. This makes for great difficulty when the attempt is made to pick out fewer racial types. "The old color classification has no scientific validity," claimed the speaker, who said, "We might as well try to classify flowers by their colors." "Color has great sociological significance, however," he added, "for it tends to differentiate groups and keep peoples apart even though the peoples of different color may belong to a wide variety of racial stocks. "The concept that the Nordic is superior to the Oriental because he has more and larger industries has no basis in science." Prof. McKenzie continued. "The Nordic happened to be the first to use mechanical energy and just happened to have the resources of energy and thus got the lead over the rest of the world in the nineteenth century that has given him the big head. Now he tries to explain this on the basis of race. "It." Evident that Oriental, the scientific spirit that so many white man in any kind of effort, whether cultural, commercial or scientific." Blind Negroes Shares In Goldenberg Estate BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 3.—Following the example of his father, Mose Goldenberg, a merchant and philanthropist of Baltimore and Washington, Julius M. Goldenberg, who died suddenly in Washington on Sunday, provided in his will for a number of Jewish and other charities. Included in these bequests were a monthly payment for life of $20 to the man who feeds the cats in Mount Royal Station in Baltimore and a similar bequest to two blind Negroes who stand in front of the Goldenberg store in Washington. Bequests are also made to Mr. Goldenberg's wife, relatives and friends. NEW PEP Start full of PEP! New ENERGY, VIM, VIGOR! Whether you are 16, 50, 60 or more—get POTENTINE right away!

Worker Produces 3 Times Briton's Total The importance of the use of power and of mechanized mass production in the economic life of the United States is illustrated in a comparison between British and American, manufacturing methods, prepared by the National Industrial Conference Board, 247 Park avenue. Eight selected major manufacturing industries in the United States, which use on an average one and one-half times as much horsepower per wage earner as do the same industries in Great Britain, turn out from two and one-half to three times as much of their product, largely as a result of the greater use of power. This greater productivity, the board finds, accounts largely for the higher wage levels and living standards prevailing in this country. Steel works and rolling mills in Great Britain employing 200,181 wage earners in 1924 turned out $460,895,000 worth of products. In the United States in the following year $2,946,068,000 worth of products was turned out with the relatively small working force of 370,726. The production in the American mills was relatively three times as great per person as a result of having 12.35 horsepower behind each worker in place of Britain's 8.15 horsepower. In 1924 the American automobile industry turned out $4,146,408,000 worth of cars with a force of 429,408 wage earners, as against Britain's $374,121,000 output with a working force of 145,704. A similar differential rate of productivity per worker prevails in the electrical machinery and other industries, according to the findings of the National Industrial Conference Board. United Kingdom Biggest Buyer of U. S. Candy WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—The foreign appetite for American confections grew 2,000,000 pounds in 1927, figures announced today by the Department of Commerce show. While the sales of American chocolates declined, other candies brought about the huge increase over 1926. The United Kingdom, as usual, was the biggest consumer of American candy, with a demand for the year of nearly 5,000,000 pounds. Porto Rico was second, followed by Hawaii, Alaska, Cuba and Canada. Judge Who Ordered Arrests Need to Have Acted Within Rights PANAMA, July 30.—The Supreme Court of Panama decided today that Superior Judge de la Oca had an authority to order the arrest of Opposition party leaders, although it has not passed definitely on the writ of habead corpus instituted for the release of the prisoners, whom the Court released under bond. While concluding the detention of the prisoners arrested last week the Court did not indicate what action would be taken against them nor by what court on the charge as transmitted by the superior judge of pro-nouncing "subversive discourse, instigating or insinuating the taking of arms against the constituted government and fomenting armed revolution, to provoke by this means a change in the public order." All of the justices favored the decision except one, who reserved his vot. The question of American intervention was discussed in an editorial in The Panama American today, which refers to the Wilson doctrine of nonrecognition of a Government coming into power by violation. The paper states this has appalled in practice by two Republican Administrations, and adds that this principle, having survived twelve years, suggests as a corollary that "If the United States refuses to recognize a Government which comes into power by violence does it not follow that, to be consistent, the United States must refuse to recognize a Government which perpetuates itself in power by force. Now violence does not necessarily mean a final resort to rife, dynamite and dirk." The newspaper clites various forms it might take, and adds: "If a situation exists by which members of a party in opposition are absolutely denied the right of franchise, where they are warned not to approach polling places, we have force and violence exercised by the 'ina'." The newspaper asks in conclusion "Does it not follow that if the United States recognizes a Government thus perpetuating its power, it is placed on record as condoning force and violence, and is made accessory after the fact?"

Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention, to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. THE RAPE OF LIBERIA THE recent expose in which Herbert Hoover is named as the "power behind the throne" in forcing upon Liberia the acceptance of the offer of the Firestone Company to purchase and develop certain rubber lands in Liberia is of grave importance to the Negro in more ways than one. Negroes in America are intensely interested in the disclosure that Mr. Hoover was instrumental in forcing the issue, and, despite the weak Washington denials, his reputation has suffered. But, whether Mr. Hoover was the master mind or not, the conditions remain the same. The little Negro republic is surely headed toward the economic and political rocks which may spell its doom. To boast of having a republic governed by Negroes means nothing if the hand of the white man directs the actions of those in authority. Liberia has long been the only place on earth where Negroes possessed the freedom and opportunity to develop in their own way along the lines of modern civilization. Founded in 1820 by a group of Negroes and whites who called themselves the American Colonization Society, its first settlers were freedmen coming from the United States. Thousands of dollars were raised for this venture by white men and women who believed that America owed a debt to the black men whom it had enslaved and who ought to be given an opportunity to develop in their own way unhampered by prejudice and racial discrimination. The republic was founded and it has survived for more than a hundred years. It is conceded that Liberia has failed to develop according to the hopes of the founders. This is discouraging, but the chief concern of Negroes ought to lie in the fact that until now Liberia has remained almost entirely free of white domination and has thus retained its identity as a large republic in truth and fact. On the surface, it would appear that the greatest benefit will come to Liberia in the presence of the Firestone Company with its millions of dollars to develop the country. But existing political conditions in Liberia and the history of the manner in which the Firestone concession was obtained tell another story. The peculiar and dangerous governmental plan in Liberia which gives the President the power to appoint all government officials, including the District Commissioners who govern the outlying native areas, places in the hands of the President an amount of power which ought not to be held except by a very wise and honest man. And President King has proved to be very unwise. Whatever the part Mr. Hoover played in the unholy business, the United States was very busy doing things in Liberia along about the time that Mr. Firestone was putting through his negotiations for the rubber lands. In December, 1925, the Liberian Congress definitely rejected the Firestone offer. In February, 1926, the Honorable Solomon Porter Hood, American Minister to Liberia, suddenly returned to this country to recover his health. (We have no doubt that it was a little unhealthy for him in Liberia just then.) Some time after the return of Mr. Hood, while Negroes in America were on tiptoe to see who would be sent out in Mr. Hood's place, this government suddenly (?) decided to send Mr. Reid Page Clark, a white man, out as Charge d'Affaires and hold in abeyance the appointment of a new Minister. It was during the administration of Mr. Clark that the Firestone matter was finally settled. The mailed list behind this trend of events is discernible to a blind man. President King, a weak, vain, short-sighted creature, seeking money and power at the expense of the freedom of his people, has delivered his country into virtual slavery for the next hundred and fifty years. The story of the ages means nothing to this self-centered misfit. Knowing the death grip which the white man holds on anything which he once acquires, he shamelessly invites him to take this little struggling country unto himself, caring little if it shares the fate of the rest of Africa. He puts upon the race a stamp of inferiority by practically admitting that the country will never be a success unless the white man takes it back and makes it one. And it was for this inglorious defeat that King shut the door of Liberia in the face of Garvey. It was for this that he rejected the splendid colonization plan devised by Marcus Garvey and fostered by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, a splendid band of pioneers made of the stuff which knows no defeat. It was for this that he permitted an earnest group of his own people across the sea to lose thousands of dollars spent for machinery, farm equipment, etc., with which they planned to gain success by the sweat of the brow and the power of the mind. And the arch-traitor smiles with satisfaction after he has sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. He looks with pride upon the wheels of the white man's machinery turning, even though those same wheels are grinding to dust the mails and bodies of his people. What rocks Charles King, as long as he, plumed chevalier of Britain, fristhoated puppet of English diplomacy, may receive, as part of the "only Negro republic in Africa," cordial anniversary plaques from Cochlidge and pious wishes for the "continued prosperity of YOUR country!" "Word reaches Washington," a news release informs us, "to the state that President King has just entered upon his third term as the executive of this little republic." We have no felicities for President King. He may serve a fourth and a fifth term, so devious are the ways of registration and ballot counting in King's Liberia.

OPINION OF THE NEGRO AFTER nine years of activity the Universal Negro Improvement Association should not find it necessary to be instructing its members on the importance of whole-hearted and adequate support of the Parent Body in New York. That this organization has been able to grow from a modest membership of thirteen New Yorkers to a world-wide institution with millions on its membership books was not a work of chance. This startling growth unequalled in this generation, was brought about by dint of untiring, co-ordinated effort guided and controlled from a modest office building in New York City. A small army of trained workers, directed by the elected officers of the Association, toiled night and day that the gospel of Garveyism might be spread to the ends of the earth, that various units should be established and should function successfully, that a practical, homogeneous instrument should be fashioned for translating into reality the ideals of an awakened people. Were there no Parent Body there would have been no Universal Negro Improvement Association, bulking large in the consideration of great men of affairs today. The Parent Body created, cherished and co-ordinated. This it is doing today and must continue to do. An army without headquarters is but a rabble. Any enterprise, business or social, without a single, centralized, controlling office, is doomed to stagnation and decay. The various States that comprise these United States would be weakened and torn by jealousy and strife, as is the case in Europe, were there no Columbia District, no Federal offices, no White House housing a common, controlling machine. And so it is that a Parent Body, functioning one hundred per cent, is absolutely essential to the growth and maintenance and furtherance of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its program. For the benefit of new members, especially, thousands of whom join the ranks every year, let it be stated once again that a well-equipped Parent Body is as vital to the success of the organization today as it was in 1920. And whoever suggests otherwise is seeking to mine the foundation of this structure, which has been reared at great sacrifice. The fact that the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the leader of the Association, is not in the United States, does not affect the question. Functioning here is his personal representative, Hon. E. B. Knox, whose special duty it is to see that the American divisions maintain their high level of usefulness and who must build and continue to build on the foundation laid. Mr. Garvey expects Mr. Knox to keep the American wing of the organization intact, to carry out certain plans calculated to promote the success of the whole movement, and he cannot do this unless he has the undivided support of every unit. He will be seriously handicapped in his task, a great deal of what has been done in the past nine years will be undone, if the various divisions and chapters, misled by the opportunists, were to degenerate into little aimless clubs. The loyal member is not the member who shouts "I am for Garvey," while preaching separatism to his fellows. The useful member is not the member who sings with all the power of his lungs "God Save Our President!" while caring little whether his dues are paid. But the loyal and useful member is the member who, realizing that Garveyism stands for wholehearted co-operation within the group, not only meets his divisional obligations, but sees to it that his division fulfills its obligations to the Parent Body. United we will stand; divided we will fall. All can follow, but the few must lead. Let Negroes throughout the world bear this in mind as they seek, under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to save the fortunes of their race. IT IS becoming increasingly apparent that "Tammany!" will be the chief battle-cry of those who are seeking to defeat Governor Smith in the coming election. If the white gentlemen of Tappot Dome, after casting about for a weak spot in the Democratic nominee's armor, and finding none, have the effrontery to cite Tammany's ancient sins as a reason for sweet forgetfulness of their recent own, Christian charity and tolerance will not deny them the pleasure. But what moves us to mirth is the sight of certain Negroes, as the quadrennial harvest of shekels approaches, telling themselves and then telling others that the Negro's doom is sealed the moment Smith, a TAMMANYITE, enters the White House. For our part, we do not very much care what Hanna and Tweed did fifty years ago. Nor do the malefactions of the Ohio gang give us sleepless nights. Deceivers in public office we have always had, and, no doubt, there always will be. What is of more moment to us is that Governor Alfred E. Smith, a man of proven honesty and ability, has by sheer force of character given this same Tammany a new rating in the Nation. We are more inclined to reflect upon the fact that Alfred E. Smith cannot be swayed by the Hannas and the Tweeds, the Daughertys and the Denbys, or the Bieases and the Helfins. But, this apart, it cannot be denied that the record of Tammany in New York, as concerns the Negro as a group, is a good one. Today, to give a single illustration, there are 276 Negroes holding in the New York/Civil Service, under Tammany, positions paying from $2,000 to $7,500 per annum. Negroes will do well to ponder this 'ere they join the persecutors of Perry Howard in shouting "Tammany!" EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Most of us have little doubt but that all we have needed was the opportunity. Once that was given, the door of larger things for the Negro group would soon be forced open to the full by the kind service rendered. In many cases this has proved true. Each representative of the Negro race who is favored by being the first entrant in a particular field should consider himself as epitomizing an entire race on trial. Let him therefore conduct himself as will bring to the race the most creditable rating possible.—Cleveland Call-Post. This life is a struggle high or low, rich or poor, we all have our "ups and downs," our disappointments and bewarements, with the grave in the distance as the end of all of our hopes, through which we must achieve the celestial bliss of the hereafter.—Richmond Planet. It matters not if Hyperion stalks around us. What the other man does or neglects doing can never excuse us. So long as ideals remain, goals to be striven for, great and good men to be emulated, noble needs to be accomplished, there is but one road, and its name is Straight. It should be the will of our group to prove History a lie. It should be the will of every individual to hasten the communalization of his group-will.

There being so little of the vision and ambition among Negroes that is found in the other race, each of us should encourage it when we see it. And we would insult no one, even the white man that we buy gasoline from if we bought a gallon or two from the colored man.

Stand for Smith To the Editor of the Negro World: Our stalwart leader and race champion, in the person of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, has given the word to every Negro with a spark of racial consciousness for whom he should cast his vote. The greatest enemy to the Negro's true freedom in American has been the Republican Party. The reasons for this assertion are based upon the hypocrisy of its political leaders. No political action has ever been taken by the Republican leaders to guarantee the Negro any legal security. On the contrary, they fail to even mention the Negro or his condition, except at election time. They have repeatedly tried to soothe the Negro's discontent and dissatisfaction by the mere appointment of some member of the race to a particular political position. Such patronage has not alleviated the Negro's group suffering, neither was such action intended to accomplish this purpose. These "recognitions" were bestowed to fool and deceive the Negro cut of his "constitutional" rights, in consideration of his political support. Today, for the first time in our racial history, we have an uncompromising contender for Negro justice and liberty, who has given the Negro voters of the United States "something real" to vote for: Negro Nationalism. To vote contrary to this ideal is not only trachery to the race, but would be simply-wasting a very precious privilege. Virginia, a southern state, was the first to take the initiative in providing the Negro with a native refuge. The American Colonization Society founded the state of Liberia, and for a number of years contributed toward its maintenance. Such efforts on the part of American white citizenry constitutes what we are pleased to call, TRUE FRIENDSHIP. The Fifteenth Amendment giving to the freed slaves the status of political equality with the whites was forced upon the Southern white people by the Northern Republicans in the spirit of political revenge. Such a condition was an injustice to the unwilling Southerners, and a grave handicap and fortunate mistake for the untutored Negroes. This political blunder has never been rectified, thus contributing to the racial unrest and antagonism of the two races. Abraham Lincoln predicted such a condition. Let us honor his memory by co-operating with the Democratic Party of the South in a mutual adjustment of this vexing racial problem. Governor Alfred Smith, of New York, is the candidate of this truly "white" American party. With the election of Governor Smith and the triumph of the Democratic or Southern party, we will have made a great step in the consideration of African Nationalism. The Democrats have been "honest" with the Negro. Honesty is not only the best policy—it is the ONLY policy worth while. Let us help America to be honest with the Negro, as the day of chilcany and deception is past. Vote for Smith and get a right, any other course only offers you a "promise," impossible of realization.

Aug 4.—France has just passed the million mark in the number of licensed automobiles. The spread of installment buying and the general increase in prosperity have stimulated the purchase of motor cars. The installment plan is still less common in France than in England and the United States. Half of the buyers of low-priced automobiles in France continue to pay cash, and expensive cars are sold even less frequently on the installment plan. good use of our present opportunities and less celebrating might be in order.—St. Louis American.

It is very essential that a clear spirit of unity be regarded among us. in these changing economic and political times. In fact, such a spirit must be around among Negroes throughout the nation.—Indianapolis Record. Not so very long ago Turkey was called the "Bick Man of Europe." Trained propagandists flooded the press with stories of "the unspeakable Turk." The presence of these people in Europe was not relished by those who would keep "Kurope for the Europeans." Valiant efforts were made to drive them into Asia, but they are still in Europe, no longer "sick men," but beared and respected as a world power. What brought about the change? I quote you the words of General Kemal Paah, president of the Turkish republic, and the guiding spirit behind the new renalance: "In vain shall any people resist the torrent of civilization. That torrent is pitiless to the ignorant and the indolent. Before the force of that civilization which has pierced mountains and scaled the skies the nations which cling to the mentality of the Middle Ages and the religion of primitive miracles are condemned to disappear or to fall into slavery. The Turkish nation has taken an oath to live eternally as a nation civilized and progressive now that she has broken the chains of bondage at last." With such wisdom locked up in the brain of the chief executive we need not wonder at the vitality of the new Turkey. Garvey and the U. N. J. A. are re-educating the Negro that he might lift himself from the mentality of the Middle Ages and the religion of primitive times to the heights of a distinctive civilization of his own. Secretary of State Frank B. kellogg will proceed to Paris to sign with ambassadors of other powers a treaty for the renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy, brought into being through the suggestion of the satute Mr. Briand of France, and academic discussions between them. The phraseology is as sweet as honey, but the reservations the powers have nailed to their terms of acceptance are as bitter as six-sixty-six. There are fundamental reasons for these reservations. We find most of them uncovered in the following extract from the pen of Mr. L. P. Jacks in the Yale Review: "There is probably no form of agreement more difficult to achieve than agreement among armed nations as to an effective means of resisting their own tendencies to use their arms one upon another. If they were merely asked to agree in resisting an abstraction or monster named "War," and in enthroning another abstraction or angel named 'Peace,' agreement as to the best means of doing this would be relatively easy—and there is much reason for thinking that this is the form in which the problem is most frequently envisaged. In point of fact the nations are being asked to resist powerful tendencies which have their root and origin in themselves and which none of them could suffer to be put under restraint without a self-denying ordinance of the most drastic kind. It is rather like asking a group of habitual gamblers to evolve from among themselves an adequate police armed with powers to shoot down the first member of the group who makes a bet. Before any such thing is in the least likely to happen it is obvious that our gamblers must have made up their minds to give up gambling. But any one who thinks that the nations of the world, now more heavily armed than in any previous period, have made up their minds to give up war, is living in a fool's paradise." Open confession is good for the soul. One by one Negro editors and churchmen are seeing the light, letting down the bars of hypocrisy, striking out the Garvey way, and getting serious about the strained relationship between white and black. Race prejudice was never so keen and rampant as it is today the world over, and there are fifteen million victims of this dreaded disease in the United States. It is curable, of course, but we have not a staff of competent physicians to diagnose the case and apply the remedy. The only surgeon to locate the seat of the germ and apply the serum—Marcus Garvey—was hounded out of the hospital and now there is wailing and grashing of teeth among the suffering patients. The Negro gets quite sensitive when anyone admits that this is a white man's country, but he readily feels the fact when the white man acts in his own interest. "Our Stormhills Are Full," says the Philadelphia Tribune editorially. "Year after year the monster Jim Crew spreads his tenacles. Gradually the guts are being eaten out of Negro boys and girls. The protest of the militant few grows weaker. Wrapped in case and comfort we remain quiet instead of raising hell. Hourly our rights are being taken away. Wallowing in the mira inertia our intelligentsia grasp at a dime to keep their stomachs full while gradually every ounce of manhood is sucked from a race of weaklings and pussyfooters. "It spreads. It grows. We rest. We are contented. We are satisfied. That's the truth as damnable and hellish as it sounds." Score another point for Marcus Aurellus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. " Jim-crowlam," political distranchement and economic starvation—these will either force the Negro to the heights of nationhood or bury him in the valley of extermination. Seemingly, in spite of the splendid services rendered there by Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, there's a mighty struggle going on down in Cuba to keep the association free from foreign entanglements. Cuba has always been the seat of a redoubtable army of Garveyites whose loyalty and patriotism cannot be exciled. Their comrades in America will therefore read with interest the following report sent me by Mr. Prince A. Simon of Jatibonico, who gives us peep behind the scenes: "The real impediment of divisions' progress in the republic of Cuba is 'lodge.' There seems to be a determination among the grand chiefs, grand masters, grand secretaries, etc., to exploit the people, kill divisions, and set up as many lodges as they can. I have often asked the question, 'How much has Mr. White Man paid and is paying these 'grand traitors' to accomplish this task'—the task of inoculating the English speaking Negroes with lodge blues and driving their minds away from the U. N. I. A. These lodge decons are moving heaven and earth to demoralize our divisions so that they might be able to initiate the entire Jamaicanines (Jamaicanes) as we are called in Cuba. "The whole framework of the U. N. L. A. in Cuba is but an empty shell when achievements are considered. Divisions like Ciego de Avila, Moron Camaguey, Florida, Sola, and many others where Garveyism should be at its height, are, with few exceptions, handed over bag and baggage to secrecy. I could give you scores of incidents as to justify my contention. Jatibonico has felt the effects of this lodge upheaval. Consider a community as small as this with a division of the U. N. L. A. operating since 1921. Three years ago Negroes were employed in the sugar factory. Today they are employed exclusively in the cane fields. Two years ago they planted a branch of the Samaritan lodge—twenty-three of them made up the membership, most of them repented that they ever did. Some of them had a few cents in the bank which they drew out as to know themselves. Ex-officers and dialogous members were the sponsors of the lodge. Today they have only five or six women holding on to the remnants. These Negroes are fighting the U. N. L. A. behind closed doors should be put out. Jatibonico, determined to rally in the cause, cries out for help and assistance so as to keep the doors and Liberty Hall open. Unless something is done to checkmate these lodge men the U. N. L. A. in Cuba will be deemed." Trying to Fool All the People Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg was bassadors of other powers a treaty for the moment of national policy, brought into a statute Mr. Briand of France, and academic phraseology is as sweet as honey, but to their terms of acceptance are as bitter mental reasons for these reservations.

Briton's Book Asserts Sum, Not Earth, Moves LONDON.—A book attempting to prove that the sun revolves around the earth has just been published in England. It was written by William Edgell, of Gloucestershire, and some up his experiments extending over thirty years. For the last two years he had had a telescope trained on the Pete Star, and night after night he has watched for some sign of motion. Has the star budged? It has not. But the case of the sun is different. In the morning it was shining in Mr. Edgell's tree garden and in the evening it was over the back garden.

Invited There by United States to Do a Necessary Work When Others Balked, He Is New Harried by the Authorities of the Republic-Young Generation Overcoming Disabilities by Co-operation By W. A. GASKIN The West Indian did not find himself on the Isthmus of Panama by chance; he is there by a special invitation issued by the American Government. An invitation, which, when stripped of all governmental trimmings, may be read something like this: "Oh! Come and help us, lest we fail." To some this may appear as a wild piece of exaggeration, but it is known that if the laborers from the north of Spain, the Chinese and the Columbians could have done the work West Indians would not have been asked. Matsuchin proved the graveyard of the Chinese, the Columbians ran back home to Carthagena and the Mushiards did not see the game end. The West Indian stuck to the last, and at the completion of the Canal Col. Goethals gave them due credit for the part they played. To their sterling ability, General Gorgas could testify. In the sanitary department, the West Indian rendered incalculable service, and today, Panama is one of the most sanitary countries in the world. world. But what is the use of all this efficiency? The white man who works beside him gets about three times more pay than he does. The Pseudo-Panaman Hard is the lot of the Negro. If there is a divinity shaping your end, it is being done nightly rough. Exploited by the richest republic in the world, America; discriminated against by the weakest, Panama! It is nat- Speaking some time ago with a white American, who is supposed to know, I asked him, "Why was it the American government did not recruit another colored labor for the building of the Panama Canal from her own colored population, rather than going down to the British West Indies?" He replied by saying that, "Just at that time there was a great boom in the South." This is not the whole truth. The average colored American knows little or nothing about the existence of the Panama Canal. I have always thought it would have been better for all concerned If the Canal were built by colored American labor than by West Indian labor. First, there was a great stagnation in the labor markets of the West Indies at that time, and the British government might have been forced to do something for her West Indian colonies. Second, Panama could not have dared to pass her famous. I should say, infamous immigration bill, in the face of such a large colored American population, with Balboa Heights looking on. Third, there could not have been such a disparity in the wage scale. But in the case of the West Indian conditions are so different. He is exploited by the American government on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is discriminated against by the Panama government. For toll government, the West Indian is an undesirable. But these same exploited, discriminated against and undesirable West Indians have left their imprint in the Republic of Panama. The West Indian's Contribution One hundred years hence when all tam will be changed, when New Providence, West Indian town, will be more important than Colon in today, that history will not be complete that omits to say, "This city was first built up by West Indians." New Cristobal, one of the finest little suburban towns on this side of the Jordan, relocated and built up by West Indian brawn. Ask the American bushes, and they will tell you, whose labor built up the fine streets of the republic. But it is not in the role of unified labor that the West Indians, most conspicuously shine. Their handwork can be seen on every important construction, from the Administration Building on the Pacific side, to the Washington Hotel on the Atlantic. And perhaps it is not too much to say that, the West Indian clerk in the employ of the Panama Canal can match, and perhaps overmatch, any colored clerk in the Frenchman New Way to Skin Ins From, France Comes a New Way That Whitens Dark Skin 3 to 5 Sh a Blesch, Not a Harmful Chemical sands of Dark Skin;ized Parisiennes Smart Younger Set of New ```markdown ``` Frenchman Discovers New Way to Whiten Skin Instantly From France Comes a New Way to a Lighter Skin—A Method That Whitens Dark Skin 3 to 5 Shades in 3 Minutes—Yet Is Not a Blesch, Not a Harmful Chemical!

The white man who works behead him gets about three times more pay than he does. Hard is the lot of the Negro. If there is a divinity shaping your end, it is being done rightly rough. Exploited by the richest republic in the world, America; discriminated against by the weakest, Panama. It is natural that a new generation would spring up from the thousands that were drawn from the West Indies to build the Panama Canal. This generation was, up to two years ago, Panamans. With the advent of the immigration bill they were termed pseudo-Paramans, and were warned not to meddle in the national politics. These Panamans with West Indian parents were the first to detect the racial spirit of the bill. They were determined to put a man of their liking in the Presidencia. The government got wise to the move and disfranchised them. Letters were sent to the National Assembly asking that august body to give a scientific definition as to what constitutes Negro. The gentleman who introduced the bill was called upon to define and make clear his meaning. Of course he failed, as needs he must, whose mind is debased by prejudice and saturated with ignorance. Gaining a Financial Footing These civic and economic disabilities have awakened in the West Indian a spirit of co-operation, and he is out to gain a financial footing in the republic. An organization formed just a year ago with a capital of $6,000, is now capitalized at $30,000, and registered under the laws of the republic. One thing is very sure. Panama cannot afford for long to disfranchise children born in the republic without feeling it. And if they give the children born of West Indian parentage a vote, in the next twenty-five years a "pseudo-Panaman" may be the President.

China's Development Plans In a statement he had prepared for the press on the voyage the minister of reconstruction said: "I have come to America with a two-fold purpose, primarily to prepare the way for American co-operation in the economic development of China, and incidentally to acquaint myself with American conditions, economic and industrial, which have developed since the war during the last ten years. "I have not come officially as a diplomat to Washington to enter into negotiations for treaty revision, which is the task of my colleague, Dr. C. C. Wu, who is now in this country. But I am here unofficially as a member of the Nationalist government with the object of meeting the leaders of American finance, industry and commerce to discuss ways and means whereby American industrial organization and American finance may be invited to cooperate with us in the reconstruction of our country. "In 1918, immediately after the World War, my late father, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, took up the study of the international development of China as a humble contribution to world peace. The result of his efforts has been outlined in a series of programs for the economic and industrial reconstruction of China, which were FOR DARK SKIN COMMONE CLEARS For a Clean Perhaps the rebarrassing skin troueasily you could ba If you do want your dealer for Bl Soap, and use them Be sure to ask —Black and White package of Ointment of the 25c size.

PURE Pure ASPIRIN 8-GRAIN TABLETS Equal Rights Program For Women of India To Be Exacted Soon LONDON. July 31 — An equalit status throwing into the discard their age-long subordination soon will be granted to Hindu women, according to dispatches from Bombay today. A program of equal rights for women, registering the most important and fastest reaching reform ever attempted in Hinduism, has been drafted by the Bombay Conference and is expected to be enacted shortly. The Hindu women's charter of emancipation provides: 1. There shall be strict monogamy, no second marriages being permitted under any circumstances whatever so long as the first wife is living. 2. Women shall be entitled to judicial separation in all cases of indulgence, desertion or conversion to other faiths on the part of the husband. 3. No minor girl shall be allowed to marry a man more than forty years old and heavy penalties are provided for a guardian giving and a husband taking such a girl in marriage. 4. The widow, mother and sisters of a deceased person shall have the right of inheritance, according to the Indian succession act. A daughter shall have an equal share with a son in their father's property and a widow will take the place of her husband. The lead in staging the conference at which the reform was drafted was taken by Sir Lallubhul Samaldas, one of the most orthodox Hindus. nese day 25¢ ITE THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A.

LOS ANGELES, CAL The Los Angeles Chapter 5-A of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was host to the State Commissioner, Hon. A. S. Gray, from July 19 to July 23. The Los Angeles Chapter sprung a "now one" on the Commissioner in the manner of publicity. Hand bills were struck and distributed about the city calling the attention of its readers to a "special" mass meeting to be held at the U. N. I. A. hall Sunday, July 22, at 3 p. m. Everybody invited. Subject: "The Negro's Awakening." Speaker, Hon. A. S. Gray, State Commissioner. The esteem in which the officers and members hold their representative is herewith testified: "Don't miss this opportunity to hear the GREATEST race man on the Pacific Coast." An enthusiastic and responsive audience greeted the Commissioner at the scheduled hour. Dr. R. A. Scott, the efficient chaplain, performed the ritualistic service, and after a brief Scriptural reading called for one minute's silent prayer for the safety and success of our great leader. Hon. Marcus Garvey, in Europe. Vice President J. A. McGann acted as master of ceremonies and conducted in his pleasing style the program activities. Brother F. Markland was called upon to read the "Alms and Objects" of the organization, which was listened to with rapt attention. Mrs. F. Hydes sang a beautiful solo which was received with liberal applause. Miss Fanny Hagues, lady president, was called upon to read the front page message of our President General from The Negro World. All present were inspired to carry on for the great work of African redemption. After the lifting of the offering one of Los Angeles' most faithful workers in the person of Brother P. I. Parrison was heard. Mr. Parrison was introduced as the "War Horse of the Pacific Coast" and in his well-selected subject he proved himself deserving of the title. Briefly, he commented upon "Africa Has Spoken, and Her Voice Has Been Heard." Appreciative applause was accorded the speaker. The song, "Ced Bless Our President," was next sung, after which the fiery president of Chapter 5-A, Mr. Frank Fulton, was introduced, and in a few select remarks presented 168 Commissars. Commissioner Gray expressed his interest for the unique honor and triumph paid him by the Los Angeles Chapter, and stated that since the U. N. I. A. is the greatest organization in the life of the Negro peoples of the world, he would humbly bow in acquiescence to the title conferred. A contrast of the sleeping and the awakened Negro was made by the Commissioner, basing his comment upon the passage of Scripture found in John 5:25. Negroes were warned to hearken to their God-sent leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, who possessed the plans for our complete encantation and the redemption of our motherland, Africa. A ringing appeal was made for honesty, intelligence and loyalty from all officers and other persons in positions of authority and responsibility. EAST BROOKLYN, N. Y. The East Brooklyn Chapter held a successful mass meeting in Unia Hall, 669 Herkimer street, on Sunday, July 29, at 5 p.m. at which time we had our honored guest and principal speaker Prof. Caleb B. Robinson, president of Liberty University. The audience was kept in high humor from start to finish by the learned professor; but the note of seriousness and unexpressed determination was not lacking. This wonderful oration was certainly enjoyed by all, and the philosophy that was to be found therein was certainly food for thought. The meeting was staged in behalf of Liberty University, the Race's moral power house, from whence shall come the real leaders for this great reform movement to restore the ancient glories of Ethiopia. Judging from the high spirit of enthusiasm which prevailed in our meetings from time to time, one must conclude that this movement is a divine movement for a divine purpose. The program was as follows: Opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains"; ritualistic ceremony by the choir; reading of the President General's message by the secretary, Mr. B. Dalrymple; hymn; opening address by the chairman, Mr. Milton E. Kelly; address by Lieutenant Roberts, first vice president, subject, "The Necessity of Self Help." Among other things, he stressed the necessity of supporting our own business enterprises, thereby making opportunities for our girls and boys. The next number was a vocal solo by Mrs. W. Stevens, our accomplished pianist. Remarks by Mr. H. Braithwaite, ex-president of East Brooklyn chapter, hymn, "Forward Be Our Watchword"; lifting of offerings; presentation of Pref. C. B. Robinson, president of Liberty University; announcements. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. ALSTON H. ROBERTS, Reporter.

A. Moore, executive secretary, and Mr. E. Sybillas. The meeting then came to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian National anthem and prayer by the preside- Wednesday night, July 11. 1925. Commissioner Haynes! after a preparatory meeting was held by Mr. Hubert R. Hayer, the president, ascended the steps of Liberty Hall to inspire and convince, respectively, members and unbelievers of Garveyism. After due courtesy had been rendered the commissioner he began his address, which was descriptive of his late successes in the field; Charleston, N. C., where a ten-day meeting was held, and where a prominent minister and undertaker made striking and peculiar confessions of their conversion to Garveyham; at Sallabury, N. C., where an open-air meeting was held on the college (Livingston) campus recently, which was also successful. He especially congratulated Kinston for the part its delegation played in the Sallabury meeting's success. Mr. Haynes reported unusual courtesy as extended by the white local newspaper, and by the Mayor and other city officials of Sallabury, Spencer and Asheville. After he had appealed to support Liberty University he concluded by referring to the Negro as having something mentally wrong in not wishing to follow his own leader, and by asking, in Mr. Garvey's behalf, our loyal and full support. We unite to say as one man, "Long live Garveyism." DAVID WARREN, Reporter. NUEVITAS, CUBA The Nuevitas Division, No. 42, held its regular mass meeting on Sunday evening, July 29.

Allison; address, Master Antonio James; song by choir, "Press On." After the receipts of the evening were announced by the secretary the president in his enthusiastic way urged the members to rally to the call, and help the president-general financially to carry this program through in Europe. Much congratulations must be given to the choirmaster, Mr. B. M. Stephenson, and his efficient staff, who have left no stone unturned to bring this division to the highest mark. The first verse of the Ethiopian National Anthem brought the meeting to a close. J. C. PITTER, Reporter NEW ORLEANS, LA. New Orleans Division, No. 149, U. N. I. A., staged a wonderful mass meeting on Sunday night, July 29, 1928, at Liberty Hall, 2919 Danniel Street.

N. I. A. In his address Mr. Green stated for us to continue praying to God and hold out to the end, for the worst has yet to come; but to always remember that in a dark cloud there is often a silver lining. Offering lifted. Announcements and singing of the Ethiopian National anthem, followed by benediction by the president brought the meeting to a close. LUCILLE, E. HAWKIN, Reporter CINCINNATI, OHIO Sunday, July 29, 1928, will remain indelible in the minds of that host of members and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus, who journeyed to Niagara Falls to see a part of that magnificent work of nature. I say a part because Niagara cannot be seen in a day; it is an ever-shifting spectacle. We have yet to visit a place more beautiful; every hour brings to view some new beauty or added charm. Much credit is to be given Sir William Ware, president of the Cincinnati Division and also our high commissioner, for making it possible for us to take this wonderful trip, and for making same, with the aid of the other officers of the division, a phenomenal success financially. I must also remind you that Commissioner J. A. Craigen, that stalwart exponent of Garveyism, was also in Niagara with a host of members and friends of the Detroit Division. Commissioners Ware and Craigen believe in putting over big projects in their respective divisions for the best interest of all. LARA JARRETT. Reporter Opportunity Are you PROUD of your PAYCHECK?

Help me in each new day to find A fresh adventure for my mind, And to retain within my breast Something of Youth's unsated rest. Lord, let me never settle down, Nor let my eager wonder drown In some smooth, placid, sluggish stream Of mere existence. Help me dream, And seek and yearn and dream again— In heart, at least, like bolder men Who roam the sphere and know not peace, Nor want it, till their wanderings cease. Keep evermore alive in me That joyous curiosity Which keeps young men and all aglow To hear, to see, to feel, to know!

ICE MAN of the Liberty Hall, 1518 M. to participate art in a Monster To the master of The Negro World: Our flanked and sorgente minded leader in the perium of His Excellency Hon. Marquis Garvey has stated in unmistakable terms the necessity for a fearless and truthful press to give to our race a true perspective of the racial condition. Today more than ever the urgent need for this step is clearly evident. White propaganda has done more to defend the efforts for our racial advancement than any other known agency. It becomes imperative, therefore, that we have a strong and effective Negro organ to constructively combat this sinister danger. White sentiment dominates every institution created by our Nordic brothers, from the pulpit to the theatre. In all sincerity, the masses of the white people are thinking in terms of their preservation and security — intellectually, morally, physically, educationally, religiously and politically. Then, why not, Negroes, in the same of all that is sensible and reasonable, should we not think in terms of the black race. As long as we permit the white peoples to furnish us with 90 per cent, of our literature and printed material, we allow ourselves to become willing victims of their studied methods to mould our every thought and subsequent actions. In self-defense we must rectify this unbalanced situation. Furthermore, the race needs and must have a reformation in the ethics of journalism. Too much space is today given to matters and subjects often more injurious than beneficial to our intellectual advancement. Too much scandal, too much notoriously, too much semanticalism occupy our front pages of present day newspapers. We, the U. N. I. A. Negroes, want a dignified presentation of news and current day happenings that will serve to give us a better understanding and conception of our true relationship in world affairs. We hope that the day will soon come when advertisements appealing to the Negro people to change their "dark" complexions or to "straighten their hair" will be wholly discarded and relegated to the background of foolish advice. If we truly love ourselves, as we profess and honestly should, we will develop that phase of our make-up that counts most — CHARACTER. The fragrance of flowers is natural and emanates from WITHIN. Negroes, let us be natural and beautiful! ARTHUR B. GRAY. To the Editor of The Negro World: Allow me space to acquaint the public with the history of the N. A. A. C. P. leader in New Orleans, most striking and evident occurred there in the South's most interesting city, New Orleans, a few weeks ago, when a Negro girl of poor parentage was shot down in the streets by a white hoodium. The news flashed in all of the white and Negro papers. No attempt was made by those Negro organizations whose cry to the public is "Protection against lawlessness." Well, since this was a case of a white man shooting a Negro girl, the N. A. A. C. P. remained quiet, which was proof BREWING Large book, "100 WAYS TO GET RICH" will sell No more worry about money.

The Universal Negro Improvement Association, No. 16 Division of New Orleans, setting that no attempt was being made to bring the murderer to justice, in open mass meeting offered a reward for the arrest of one or all of the headlums who had to do with the killing of Ada Jones. We even secured counsel and had said reward advertised in the white papers of this city. A group of secret service men went out immediately and one of them was able to round up the murderer and had him arrested with no bonds. When all of this was done a local mouthpiece of the N. A. A. C. P. came out the next week assuring the public that they would take full charge of the case. Imagine such cowards, trying to steal the thunder of the U. N. I. A. in New Orleans. We have started and we expect to see this thing through, and if the N. A. A. C. P. wishes to help we are willing to have them co-operate with us. The massees are tired of these so-called leaders who are seeking mere publicity and have no more backbone than a jellyfish. LA JONES HILLARD. New Orleans, La. Football Star Building Stadium for Alma Mater, Hampton Institute, Va. HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va., July 27.—The first section of the proposed $125,000 stadium that is to be placed on Armstrong Field is being con- structed under the supervision of William E. Lee, popularly known to the football world as Wildman Lee. The stadium is being made of concrete. The first section when finished will seat 1,500 people or more. Lee has just completed a course in building construction at Hampton Institute, receiving the B. S. degree with high honors. Before finishing the course he drew up the plans for the stadium job. After finishing college he was selected to carry out the plans which he had drawn up. At present the structure is moving along with great rapidity and it is expected that by the opening of the football season Hampton's football followers will be able to watch the game from a section of this new concrete stadium. Lee halls from the city of Peterburg, Va., where he received the early training at Peabody High School. From Peabody High he entered Hampton Institute and selected the building construction course. During his four years in the course Lee was an outstanding student, besides being connected with the variety football team, the basketball team, dramatics and other extra-curricular activities. He clearly demonstrated that it is possible for a man to be a great athlete and also an excellent student at the same time. Of Wildman Lee, Coach Oidson B. Smith says: "He is the type of athlete that a coach enjoys having on his squad and a man the school is proud to turn out. No more will the student body cheer the superb playing of Wildman on the Hampton team, but it will often refer to his playing at many of the games that will be played in future years. He has set a record that will be an honor for any athlete to strive to attain." FREE! "100 WAYS TO GET RICH" "Hi," will settle your money problem.

S. C., Aug. 3—Mrs. Maude Collins is sorry she ever forgave Ben Bea, Negro, who was convicted of a criminal assault upon her and served thirteen years in prison before being pardoned a few months ago by Governor Richards. Master in Equity J. C. Townsend, conducting a hearing to determine whether the pardon was obtained by fraud and should be revoked, failed to render a decision today. Bess was freed on the presentation of an affidavit by Mrs. Collins that he had not committed the assault to which he testified at his trial. Sympathy for Bess swept the State, and the Florence Grand Jury began an investigation with a view to indicting the woman for perjury. She then asserted that she never had retracted the charge; that she thought she was merely signing a paper expressing forgiveness, and that the document never had been read to her. She cannot read or write. Governor Richards then had Bess arrested again and moved to revoke the pardon. Meanwhile John Timmons, white storekeeper of Florence, where Bess and Mrs. Collins lived, has sworn to an affidavit that he himself read the retraction aloud to Mrs. Collins; that two others were in the room, including a Probate Judge, and that she knew what she was signing. At the hearing Mrs. Collins repeated her story that she had not retracted, saying the paper forgiving Bess was the only thing she ever had signed and she was "sorry I had done that." "My son took me to the office of M. Timmons because Ben Boss' old lady kept worrying my son and me to forgive him," she said. "I told him I would forgive him and I signed the paper he gave me. He gave me $50 and told me that would help me get my teeth out, and I gave the money to my son. If the paper was read to me it was awful low and I don't recollect hearing it." Governor Richards also testified, chiefly concerning a notation on the pardon, that it had been granted on misinformation and was therefore revoked. Bess' attorneys have announced that if the hearing goes against them they will appeal to the Supreme Court of the State. DO YOU NEED HELP?

Wright, of No. 218 West 129th St. ranks second in the list made public yesterday of those who have passed the civil service competitive examination for police surgeon. Provided Dr. Wright passes the medical test Monday, and is appointed by Police Commissioner Warren to one of the two vacancies existing at present, he will be the first man of his race to hold such a position in the department. A total of 176 physicians took the examination on Oct. 18, 19 and 20 last, but only twenty-six are on the published list of those eligible for certification by the Civil Service Commission. The high man in the list is Dr. Ralph Colp, of No. 164 West 97th St., who scored 85.00 out of the possible 100, or only 40 of a point higher than Dr. Wright. Third in the list is Dr. Morris Green, of 50 East 86th St., with a mark of $5.96. Certificate to Warren According to the civil service regulations, after the routine medical examination for physical fitness, the first three men on the list will be certified to Commissioner Warren, who is then empowered to select one for the first vacancy. After this appointment is made, the fourth man on the list, Dr. John H. Garlock, of No. 161 West 75th St., will be moved up a notch, and the Commissioner then will select a man for the second vacancy. Commissioner Warren yesterday set at rest any doubts that Dr. Wright will be appointed if his record justifies it. "Well, why not?" he asked emphatically. "If Dr. Wright's record shows nothing against him, of course I'll make him a police surgeon. In a matter of this kind I don't allow race, religion or politics to interfere.

His duties are to look after the physical welfare of the polio患者 under his charge. Father Noted Physician Dr. Wright was born in La Grange, Ga., thirty-seven years ago, but his father, a noted physician, moved soon afterward to Atlanta, Ga., where Dr. Wright was reared and educated at the public schools. He attended Clark University, a Negro college at Atlanta, from which he received the degree of bachelor of arts in 1911. His father, in the meantime, had died and his mother remarried. His step-father was also a physician. Young Wright, who had not his mind on following in his father's and step-father's footsteps, entered the Harvard University Medical School. His record there was one of consistent excellence. When he was graduated in 1915 it was in fourth position in the class of 100. He served his internship in the Freeman Hospital in Washington. In 1916 he returned to Atlanta, where he practiced with his step-father. When the United States entered the war he enlisted and served eighteen months, the last eight of them in France as a captain in the Medical Corps. At the end of the war he came to New York and accepted a position with the Board of Health, which he relinquished in order to engage in clinical work for the Harlem Hospital. In 1925 he was made a regular member of the hospital staff as one of the four adjunct assistant visiting surgeons, a post which he still holds. Expert in Research He has done much work in research and experimental fields. Among other things he originated, in 1915, the intradermal method of smallpox vaccination, which has since almost entirely replaced the older incision method. The virus by this method is inserted by needle between the two layers of skin instead of in a scratch made in the skin. The older method was unsatisfactory because it was impossible to control the exact amount of virus used. He is a member of the New York County and State Medical Associations, the American Medical Association and is president of the North Harlem Medical Society, which has about 100 Negro members. $-ALWAYS HAVE LUCK!-S Unlucky in Money Business is You you should carry paint BRAHMA M RED BRAHMA M RED NATIC L ODE STONES Rare Attractive; Bare Attractive; Bare are carried by, Orz Games, Love, Business?

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. Notwithstanding that, they were acquitted. On behalf of Claude Green and I. B. Nemo and on behalf of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the Hon. E. B. Knox and the Universal Negro Improvement 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, 1516 Russell St. J. A.

"Plenty to Eat, But No Room on Earth," Will Be Problem CHICAGO, July 26—With the population of the earth one hundred times greater than the eighteen billions now consuming food, chemists say they will be prepared to feed the myriads, and there need be no war, pestilence or Malthusian theory to kill them off. Dr. H. E. Barnard, a food expert, told the other chemists at today's session in the Northwestern University about it. "When the need comes, the chemist will convert the light of the sun and the nitrogen of the air into food for the human family. Thirty men work- INS and CHAPTERS Take Notice!

Yours truly. ing in a factory the size of a city block can produce in the forms of yeast as much food as 1,000 men filling 57,000 acres under ordinary agricultural conditions. "The world population, therefore, is not so much dependent upon the availability of a food supply, as of standing room. If the rate of population increase doesn't start falling within the next 500 years or so, there will be hardly any more than a square yard of arable land per person." In time, Dr. Barnard deducted, there may not be enough room to stand. What will happen then is conjectural, but one thing the chemist believes, "the food supply of the future, whether it be synthesized in the laboratory, produced under a highly intensified system of agriculture or netted from the pastures of the sea, will not be limited. "There's no telling just how changed an organism man may be in 10,000 years from now," said the chemist. "He may live differently. And he certainly will eat differently." 16 Health Rules All Should Follow (Published by Life Extension Institute) AIR 1. Ventilate every room you occupy. 2. Wear light, loose and porous clothes. 3.

When, twenty years ago, the Mauretania and the Lusitania were built, their 30,000 tons gross seemed prodigious and their speed a marvel. The fact that the Mauretania is still the fastest ship afloat is due less to the difficulty of surpassing her speed than to the apparent lack of a demand sufficiently large to pay the higher fares necessary for faster ocean travelling. For steamships are not built to make records unless thereby they can also make money. On the other hand, steamships of increased also seem to mean increased earnings, for in the last twenty years new vessels have been getting larger and larger, until in the Leviathan and the Majestic the tonnage of the Mauretania was almost doubled. Just as large units are the most profitable for houses and offices ashore, so big vessels offer the most profitable means, for supplying the public with the luxurious and complicated appointments at sea, for which there seems to be an ever-increasing demand. The Leviathan was completed in 1914 and the Majestic went into service seven years later, so that it is not strange that a larger vessel than either has now been begun.—The Nation.

THE WEST INDIAN STORE 421 Erskine Street DETROIT, NICE. MENTION THE Cheltenham, England, Aug. 4.--One of the strangest investigations of all times is being carried on here by the Rev. John Ambrose Wilson, an alumnue of Queen's College, Oxford. Mr. Wilson is seeking to prove that Jonah was not telling a fish story and that he really inhabited a whale for a while. Since the publication of an article in "The Princeton Theological Review," Mr. Wilson has been delved with letters giving him further evidence for his theory that it was physically, biologically and otherwise possible for Jonah to have lived three days inside the whale. The English clergyman now is preparing another article to confirm the first. He maintains that Jonah was not the only person swallowed by a whale. He cited two other cases, one of recent times. Recently, however, his attention has been called by correspondents to possible additional cases, which he is investigating. He likewise is looking up more confirmatory facts on the two cases already cited. "I wouldn't advise anyone else to try to book passage on a whale." Mr. Wilson said. "He would find the mammal's stomach a pretty hot place. The heat within the whale has been estimated at 104 degrees Fahrenheit. "When James Bartley, one of the crew of the whaler Star of the East, was swallowed by a whale in 1691, near the Falkland Islands, he emerged the next day, after his shipmates had captured the whale, with his hands, face and neck permanently bleached a sickly white. This was caused by the whale's gastric juices. Bartley said, moreover, that the terrific heat in the whale's belly seemed to deprive him of all vitality." The second instance upon which Mr. Wilson relies is that of Marshall Jenkins, related by "The Boston Post Bay" in 1771. Jenkins was swallowed by a sperm whale and shortly afterward was thrown out upon the wreckage of his boat. He was bruised, but not seriously injured.

M. EVERYBODY IS INVITED TO ATTEND LET'S PUT IT OVER BIG In his first message to the Philippines Legislature Gov. Gen Stiffson laid special emphasis on the advantages which would occur to the islands from an inflow of American capital. He dwelt at considerable length on the wastefulness of relying so largely on manual labor in the leading insular industries and showed that so long as these antiquated methods prevailed a large part of the population cannot hope to obtain more than the bare means of subsistence. It does seem anomalous that while so much American capital is flowing to other parts of the world so little of it should be finding its way into the Philippines. In whose development this country has a special interest. But this "special interest" appears to be one of the main obstacles. Rightly or wrongly, the Filipinos fear the inflow of American capital. They fear our economic imperialism, and they fear that the multiplication of American investments will militate against the ultimate independence of the islands. Consequently they have held on to their restrictions upon corporations and upon the holding of land by foreigners, and these do not make the islands an attractive field for the foreign investor. For this distrust a few overzealous Americans are partly to blame. Witness, for example, the agitation in and out of Congress during the excitement over rubber two years ago to have the southern, or Mohammedan, islands split off from the rest of the Philippine Archipelago, to have their land laws repealed, and to fill them with coole labor for the cultivation of rubber. Governor Stimson told the Philippine Legislature that he believed "that American capital has learned the unwisdom and the danger of attempting unfairly to exploit the land in which it enters." It is to be hoped that his view is correct, though it is exceptions like the rubber incident which create the most limiting impressions. The Governor General will serve both the islanders and prospective American investors well if he succeeds in developing between them a greater appreciation of the mutuality of their interests.

NOTICE Olympic Contests Too Strenuous for Women, Say French PARIS, Aug. 6.—That woman has no place in the Olympic Games is the growing sentiment here. It is the general opinion that the competition is much too strenuous for the fair sex. The feeling has been aroused partly by scenes at Amsterdam. According to a telegram from Amsterdam, during the running of a 400-metre relay race, a Frenchwoman rose from her seat at the stadium and shouted: "Stop this cruelty." She kept up this cry while the girl runners were gasping and sobbing at the finish. Apart from the great physical surch, it is said that the cold weather has been particularly tiring to the women competitors in the games. Many writers in Paris denounce the Olympic Games as being too great a strain on the feminine constitution, and in general express the opinion that girls should not be encouraged to take up athletics at all. "Games for girls by all means," they say, "they should take up all physical exercises that develop health, grace and harmony, but should shun exhausting efforts for which women are not fitted." Photographs of some of the women competitors in action have evoked scathing comments: "See how ugly and distorted they become and their faces are hard and vulgar," exclaims I Oerve, adding: "Let's not forget the legendary Amazonas of old, who renounced their womanhood in order to fight on equality with men."
