Our race, within recent years, has developed a new group of writers who have been prostituting their intelligence, under the direction of the white man, to bring out and show up the worse traits of our people. Several of these writers are American and West Indian Negroes. They have been writing books, novels and poems, under the advice of white publishers, to portray to the world the looseness, laxity and immorality that are peculiar to our group, for the purpose of these publishers circulating the libel against us among the white peoples of the world, to further hold us up to ridicule and contempt and universal prejudice. McKay's "Home to Harlem" Several of these books have been published in America recently, the last of which is Claude McKay's "Home to Harlem," published by Harper Bros. of New York. This book of Claude McKay's is a damnable libel against the Negro. It is doing a great deal of harm in further creating prejudice among the white people against the Negro. I have now before me what purports to be a writeup or review of the book by "John O'London's Weekly." I am going to reproduce the entire review for the benefit of those who desire to see the impression such books create on the minds of white people. Claude McKay, the Jamaican Negro, is not singular in the authorship of such books. W. E. B. Du Bois, of America; Walter White, Weldon Johnson, Eric Waldron, of British Guiana, and others, have written similar books, while we have had recently a large number of sappy poems from the rising poets. White Publishers Use Negroes The white people have these Negroes to write the kind of stuff that they desire to feed their public with so that the Negro can still be regarded as a monkey or some imbecilic creature. Whenever authors of the Negro race write good literature for publication the white publishers refuse to publish it, but wherever the Negro is sufficiently known to attract attention he is advised to write in the way that the white man wants. That is just what has happened to Claude McKay. The time has come for us to boycott such Negro authors whom we may fairly designate as "literary prostitutes." We must make them understand that we are not going to stand for their insults indulged in to suit prejudiced white people who desire to hold the Negro up to contempt and ridicule. We must encourage our own black authors who have character, who are loyal to their race, who feel proud to be black, and in every way let them feel that we appreciate their efforts to advance our race through healthy and decent literature. Writers to Fight Negro Cause We want writers who will fight the Negro's cause, as H. G. Wells of the white race fights for the cause of the Anglo-Saxon group. Let us imagine Wells prostituting his intelligence and ability as an author to suit Negro publishers, as against the morals or interest of the Anglo-Saxon race. It is impossible. Yet there are many Negro writers who have prostituted their intelligence to do the most damaging harm to the morals and reputations of the black race. The following is the review of Claude McKav's book by the white paper, "John O' London's Weekly": THINKING BLACK A Negro's Extraordinary Novel About Negroes If we may judge by the novels and plays which reach us in gay and nu- European bindings, "high brow" Amirion has "gone nigger." A few years ago there was Mr. Engle O'Keill's "Imperor Jones" (it was, also! a dis- Marcus Garvey, Foremost Negro Leader, Condemns Harmful Trend of Books of a New Group of Race Writers SAYS JAMAICAN NEGRO'S LATEST OFFERING IS AN INSULT TO BLACK RACE. Sappy Poems and Pernicious Novels Written by "Literary Prostitutes" to Suit White Publishers Halt Must Be Called on Libelous Writers So That Negro Race May Develop Helpful Authors mal failure on the London stage); more recently there have been Mr. Carl van Vechten's "Nigger Heaven"—which became almost a "best seller." even in England—the poems of Louis Varrey, Mr. J. W. Vanderook's "Black Majesty," and many others of which the average English reader has never even heard. Now, in "Home to Harlem" (Harpers, 7s. 6d.), we have a remarkable novel about Negro life in America by a Negro author who has spared us neither vividness nor truth. A Wanderer Mr. Claude McKay has had a career highly colored with the romance that belongs to all wanderers. He was born in Jamaica, of parents who had been abducted from their native Madagascar and auctioned as slaves. At the auction, we are told, they went on a "death-strike," vowing that if they were not sold to the same master they would kill themselves. Mr. McKay, who seems to have shown an early aptitude for learning, was offered the chance of an education in the United States by a friend and took it. For two years he studied scientific farming in an American college, but the call of literature was not to be resisted, and so he left college to become a wanderer, a stoker, a Pullman car attendant, a dock hand on the quays not only of New York but of London and Marseilles. It is in Europe, indeed, that he does his writing. "Home to Harlem," which is his first novel, has already gone into three editions in America within the space of two months. A Social Document "Home to Harlem" is not so much a novel as a social document about a race that few of us have tried to understand. Its hero is a slightly sentimental gentleman of color named Jake, who deserts from the American Expeditionary Forces in France, not because he is a coward but because he is impatient to be "doing something." He comes to London to work at the docks at Limehouse, but after a time there comes she irresistible call of New York's colored colony: "It was two years since he had left Harlem. Fifth Avenue, Lenox Avenue, and One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Street, with their chocolate-brown and walnut-brown girls, were calling him. 'Oh, them legal! Jake thought. 'Them tantalizing brown leg!' Barron's Cabaret! Leroy's Cabaret! Oh, boy!'" And so Jake goes back to Harlem, with its cabaret, "speakeasies," its gin and fashing razors, its cinemas, in which only colored actors and actresses are shown on the screen, its ronged dusky-brown girls ("rouge on brown, a warm, insidious cheek"), its intermingled poverty and luxury—a riot of color and gaiety (mixed with squalor), at which the white man can only stand amazed. And as for the morals of Harlem, we are shocked only when we begin to reboot that there aren't any morals there at all. Jake has his adventures. He falls in love with a Congo entertainer at a cabaret, who disappears from his life as silently as she comes into it. He gets mixed up with a gin-drinking Negroe and her odd assortment of friends; becomes embroiled in a strike; becomes (as did his creator) a Pullman-car attendant; meets a Negro student who opens a new world of culture to his gaze; falls ill almost to death; restores, and, at the end, meets again the little Congo Rose who had set his heart adame at the beginning. These are some of the episodes that make up a book that, in spite of the fact that it has the most slender of plots, holds our attention till the last page. We read on, not so much because of Jake's adventures as because of the shock and surprise of being in a new and unfamiliar world; because of the extraordinary vividness with which Mr. McKay brings its scenes before us. Here, for instance, is New Mr. McKay describes an all-black Harism cabinet: "It was a scene of blasting color. Soft, barbaric, burning, venge, clashing, planless colors all rioting together in wonderful harmony. There is no human sight so rich as an assembly of Negroes ranging from laquer black through brown to cream, decked out in their ceremonial finery. Negroes are like trees. They wear all colors naturally. And Police, reuged to a ravishing masse, and wearing a close-fitting, father, brother, sister, sweetheart, wife or other read the world over, THE AFRICAN L. A. should have a copy in study the principles of the greatest chrome-orange frock and cook-brown slippers, just malted into the scene." We learn from Mr. McKay many hitherto unsuspected things about Negro life, about their cooking, their food, about their attitude to white men and to each other, about their work, and about their almost incredible night life. The dull-blooded Negro, for instance, has a contempt for the half-caste that is almost as violent as the old Marylander for the Negro. And again: "Juke was very American in spirit, and share a little of that comfortable Yankee contempt for poor foreigners. And as an American Negro he looked askew at foreign niggers. Africa was jungle, and African bush niggers, cannibals. And West Indiana were monkey-chaosers." The Real Tragedy But the real tragedian of "Home to Harlem," in spite of his many misfortunes, is not Jake, but Ray, the Negro student. As he himself confided to Jake:— "The fact is, I don't know what I'll do with my little education. I wonder sometimes if I could get rid of it and go and lose myself in some savage culture in the jungles of Africa. I am a mistr—as the doctors who debe out newspaper advice to the well-dit might say—a mistr with my little education and constant dreaming, when I should be getting the nightmare habit to hog in a whole lot of dough like everybody else in this country. Would you like to be educated to be like me?" Proud Blood of the Negro In the autobiography Claude McKay tries to make out that his parents were from Madagascar, and that they were so proud as to have gone on a death strike against being enslaved. I do not believe this. I don't believe McKay can trace his ancestry back to Madagascar. It is most likely that he came from the Congo. Negroes who are descendants from proud ancestors generally retain some of their proud blood. No proud man of any race ever debases his race. It is always those of low ancestry who are always willing to play the monkey for the satisfaction of others. But it is a trait of those libellers against the black race to always suggest when they come in contact with white people that they represent the best blood of the Negro. DuBois' Royal House If I am not mistaken, a friend told me that DuBois stated and suggested that he has claim to the ancestry of a Royal House in East Africa. It is rather amusing to hear these libellers of the race talking about their royal ancestry when they represent the lowest type of ancestry. Negroes of royal ancestry always want to be proud of their race; they do not think any race better than their own. Yet DuBois called a black man an ugly man simply because he was black. Those of you who remember his article in the "Century Magazine" in 1920 will remember that he positive'y stated that to be black was to be ugly. The black royal blood of East Africa believes in the honor and integrity of the black race. DuBois to the contrary believes that the standard of beauty is to be found in the white man. Something Funny It is funny that these writers are always suggesting that they are from royal black blood and yet they are prostituting their intelligence and ability as authors and writers against their race for the satisfaction of white people. We are calling a halt on these libelous writers so that we may develop authors and poets worthy of our race and who will fight for the cause of the race. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant, Marcus Gayey President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association. Paris, France, Sept. 11, 1928.

The thesis is a criticism of the three-volume work, "Africa and the Discovery of America," recently published by Professor Leo Wiener, of Harvard University. Professor Williams denies Professor Wiener's claim that representations of Negroes appear in Indian sculpture and design and that a Negro tribe was actually in America before 1492. Professor Wienar, in his little known work, says:—"The presence of Negroes with their trading masters in America before Columbus is proved by the representations of Negroes in American sculpture and design and by the occurrence of a black nation at Darlen in the sixteenth century, but more emphatically by, Columbus' emphatic reference to Negro traders from Gulnex who trafficked in a gold alloy, guanin, of precisely the same composition and bearing the same name as frequently referred to by early writers in Africa." The Harvard professor claims, among other things, that tobacco, instead of originating in America, as long contested, found its way from Arabia into Africa and thence to this continent, where Columbus and Sir Walter Raleigh found it, and that even the sweet potato or yam-came from Africa. Congress In Third Day The Congress of the Americanists entered its third day today with more than 200 archeologists and anthropologists from all nations of the world prepared to discuss such varied subjects as musical instruments of South American Indians, the shape of the sun temple at Cusco, the generation of social forces in Zunil households, Indian gifts in relation to primitive law, use of precious stones by early inhabitants of North and South America, etc. There will be additional discussion also of the Mayan findings of Dr. Francis Blom, of Tulane University, who returned a month ago from his fourth expedition to Yucatan. RAPS "NORDIC" THEORY Existence of Such Race Doubtful, Dr. Flexner Tells Jewish Students Nordic "supremacy" is sheer nonsense, says Dr. Abraham Flexner, recently resigned director of the general education board of the Rockefeller Foundation. "I doubt if there has ever been anywhere a so-called Nordic race on this earth," he told the graduating class of the Training School for Jewish Social Work at the Federation Building, 71 W. 47th St., last night. He argued against the over-speed assimilation of racial-stocks, pointing out the danger of losing distinctive literature and art. Friday in nothing tells the Buyer confident for all sorts of buyers and sellers but he says it is grimful Buyer; the same must be on the pathogen and on every other Buyer is gone and the world awaits the next one every time. That can't get worse and may fall at the same time. An admiral commanding, by the Venerable Colonel mounted his the Duke of Gloucester, who was visiting Africa with his brother, the Prince of Wales, he appointed the next Governor General of the Union, with a view to his patronage as King later, thus gaining the dominion an independent monarchy, linked to the British Empire only by ties of the fealing house of England. Unless a prince of royal blood should be willing to assume the Governor, Generalship of South Africa, some South Africans should be chosen for the post. It is thought by general J. B. M. Hertzog, Prime Minister, according to the "Vaticanand" article. This new line of opinion is especially interesting in view of General Hertzog's recent pronouncements against extremists who are urging the Nationalists to establish a republic and which gave warning to the clergy against the danger of preaching republicanism. COLOR BAR RAISED AT OHIO COLLEGE A far reaching policy of racial discrimination will have crept into the administration of affairs at Western Reserve University, long known for its fair attitude towards peoples of all races, if reports are true that Gulbreath Cook, young colored graduate of Shaw High. School, has been denied admission to Adelbert College of that institution even in the face of the fact that he not only maintained a high scholastic record but received a number of scholarships awarded by various organizations and the recommendation of the officials of his high school. It is said that young Cook made application some time in June and following investigation of his school record the Board of Admissions of Adeibert College sent a communication to him to the effect that his application could not be accepted at this time, maybe later, but if he planned to enter college this fall he had better apply elsewhere. The dental, according to informants, can be attributed to nothing other than the color of the lid. In fact, reliable sources over that young Cook and his parents were informed directly by Dean Trautman of Adelbert-College, that it would be better for him to apply for admission elsewhere for Negro students are becoming fewer and fewer there and he probably would not find things to his liking as he would perhaps be the only Negro student in his class. PARIS, Sept. 28—The unconquered Moroccan tribesmen in the Middle Atlas region are again on the warpath and they have clashed with French troops at several points. The stir among the natives, according to prisoners, seems to be rather in the nature of civil strife between the two most powerful of the dislustful chiefs than any effort to launch an offensive against the French. Armed bands of natives have been reported to have been seen from several posts and depredations and some killings have been committed, though no Europeans are among the victims. In a skirmish near Titier the French' guards killed one native on the morning of Sept. 19, and in another engagement at Arbala three tribesmen were killed. French troops have bombarded encampments of the tribesmen in the region of Tizi Msep-dount. At the French military headquarters, it is stated that immediate measures have been taken to insure that the French settlements shall be in no danger. It is believed that the warlike activity means an opening of a struggle between the rival chieftains. Al Moctezum Tennaz and Mohammed Tafal, which has long been settled, a defensive extension to this struggle would probably insure the opening of peasant negotiations, and the application of some defensive agreements with the French, it is believed. ```markdown ``` The Dutch tithing, he said, are living from unplanned, unpaid workers and色色, here occupied by legislation can only temporarily check their eventual rise to political overreaching. "The color prejudice of South Africa is of unavailable difficulty," he said. "If you regard as unattainable a solution of these problems or a basis that will be satisfactory to the welfare of all Ethnic groups. "The ideal of both the Dutch and the British has been maintenance of a state on the European model. Neither is willing to concede to the blacks, more than 25 per cent of the population, an active share in building up this state, but unless some arrangement is made for keeping the whites and the blacks in two distinct societies, so that each group may be self-supporting, the ultimate subgenre of the white state is assumed." BESS CASE TO GO TO HIGHER COURT Supreme Court Judge Issues Writ to Bring Negro Before Him for Rehearing COLUMBIA, S. C., Sept. 20.—The Ben Bess case which has created a sensational legal fight in this state received further stimulus last Thursday when Judge T. P. Cothran of the state supreme court from Greenville issued a writ of habeas corpus for Ben Bess to be brought before him so that the case could have the rehearing. Bess received a 20-year sentence on the charge of having attacked a white woman who was a tenant on his farm. He had served 18 years of his sentence when the woman signed a confession in which she stated that Bess was the victim of a "frame-up." Bess was then given his liberty only to be put back in jail when the white woman repudiated her confession. When Bees was released a wave of public sentiment swept the state which grew so strong that a rumor arose that the woman, would be triad for perjury, whippupon she withdrew her concession. Mussolini Urges Emigrants To Return to Italy to Vote ROME. Sept. 30.—Premier Mursoini, in a circular sent today to all profects in the kingdom, ordered that all Italian emigrants be registered as voters for the elections to be held next March 24. He expressed the hope that many Italian citizens in far-distant lands would revilit the country to vote. The elections next March will consist of casting ballots for a selected list of candidates approved by the General Council of the Fascist party, and who will be offered to the voters without opposition names being allowed on the official ballots. Dr. Wang Raps League For Exclusion of China SHANGHAI, Sept. 13.—Dr. Wang, interviewed today warmly praised America's leading peace-moves, but voiced bitter regret at the action of the League of Nations in refusing a semi-permanent seat in the Council to China. The foreign Minister's position is that Europe is represented with four permanent seats in the Council and Asia but one, that being Japan. China has sought a permanent seat since the League was organized. Naturally, it was not expected during the civil warfare that such a request would be met, but Dr. Wang intimated that the Nationalist Government now feels that a semi-permanent seat is due it. In his note adhering to the Kellogg pact, Dr. Wang lauded Washington's action but took occasion to plead again that the powers revise the so-called unequal treaties and refrain in future from encroachments on China's sovereignty. The American Jewish Year Book edited for the American Jewish Committee by Harry Schpelderman, has just been published by the Jewish publication Society. The present volume, the thirtieth since its first issue in 1888, opens with an exhaustive review of the year 1888 (1897-1998), by the editor. This gives the most significant events of interest to Jews during the period from April 1, 1927, to the middle of July, 1936. This period, the editor states, was in a general way a fairly normal one in so far as Jewish life was concerned. With the exception of Hungary, Lithuania, Turkey and for a time Roumania, the governments in power were liberal in character and there was no official oppression or discrimination. Also, unofficial anti-Jewish propaganda and outbreaks of a violent nature against Jews dwindled in number and intensity. The Jewish communities were free to turn their attention and to apply their energies to communal problems, religious, cultural and educational interests and to international Jewish question questions such as immigration, economic reconstruction, and the restoration of Palestine. After an exhaustive survey of the most significant, events of Jewish interest in the United States, the review takes up happenings in other Western countries, in Eastern countries and in Palestine. A feature in this volume is an article by Dr. H. S. Linfield on the Jewish population of the United States, based upon information gathered by him as director of the Statistical Department of the American Jewish Committees. Dr. Linfield's study shows that there are now in the United States 4,228,000 Jews widely distributed throughout the country in both urban and rural places. There are Jews in all cities of the country having a population of 28,000 or over. But it is interesting to note that Jews do not live only in the large cities, for they are also to be found in over 80 percent of the cities of 2,500 to 25,000 population; in over 80 percent of incorporated villages of less than 2,500 population and in 7 percent of rural unincorporated areas. In all, there are over 9,000 places and rural areas throughout the country which have Jewish inhabitants. The new estimate of the Jewish population of the United States is reflected in the total of the Jews of the world, which is estimated by Dr. Linfield in the article "Statistics of Jews" to be 15,324 515. Included in the volume is a study of the Jewish congregations in the United States made by Dr. Linfield as Special Agent of the United States Bureau of the Census. It was found that there are approximately 3,000 permanent Jewish congregations in the country. Ten years ago, only 1,900 were recorded, and twenty years ago, only 1,700. Dr. Linfield's study also indicates that the sum invested in synagogue property must be considerable, for the 1,130 congregations which reported the value of their property, possessed buildings worth over $100,000,000. The same remark may be applied also to the annual expenditures of the congregations. Only 1,225 of the 3,000 responded to the inquiry on this particular point, and these reported an annual expenditure of approximately $16,500,000. Although the religious education of Jewish children is not conducted by congregations only, the information gathered regarding the religious schools maintained by the congregations is nevertheless interesting. Only 1,185 congregations reported on this point, 554 stating that they maintained Sabbath schools, having an enrolment of 69,439 pupils, and 631, that they maintained week-day schools in which 70,429 pupils were enrolled. The two studies revealed the fact that Jews are slowly but steadily settling in rural territory, and that in almost three rural places Jewish congregations have been established. BAN JUAN, Porto Rico Sept. 26. Senator Antonio R. Barcelo, president of the Porto Rico Senate, says in his newspaper, La Democracia, today that the insular Legislature should be called to take steps to make clear the position of Porto Rico as its relation to the United States. "For the solution of such a problem we should go to the Congress of the United States," Senator Barcelo declared. Last April a letter insisting that Porto Rico was entitled to increased political autonomy was handed to Senator Barcelo and Jose Tous Soto, speaker of the Porto Rico House of Representatives. The letter was in reply to President Coolidge's letter to Governor Towner saying that Porto Ricans were not ready for independence. In the reply the Porto Rican legislative leaders limited their claims to an elective Governor and to greater legislative freedom. They suggested a compromise by means of a form of government that was neither. Statehood nor independence but which participated in both forms with the advantages of both and without the disadvantages of either. Secretarial School for Negroes Opens in Harlem In the wake of John D. Rockefeller's benefactions for the amelioration of the social conditions of the Negro and close on the heels of the recent banking and housing activities in behalf of the colored race, comes word of the opening, this fall, of the Lincoln Secretarial School with full facilities for the advancement of commercially-minded colored men and women living in Greater New York and its environs. The Lincoln Secretarial School was initiated and built to supply a deeply felt need. There is a considerable army of ambitious Negroes who have hitherto found it impossible or inconvenient to obtain the tuition they sought. The management of the Lincoln School has recruited a group of teachers—colored and white—with sufficient knowledge, experience and sympathetic appreciation of the moral problem to assure the zealous Negro an unharmed springboard for his vaulting ambitions. The faculty will be headed by the principal, Prof. Gilby Robinson, LLB. (London), F.L.P.S. who has had wide experience in the commercial fields of education in this country, Canada and Europe. The school building is fireproofed throughout and has been materially altered and adapted for school purposes. A complete equipment of high school furniture, typewriters, adding machines, dictaphones, mimeographs, filing and indexing systems has been installed to make it one of the city's most modern educational plants. The Lincoln Secretarial School building is at 201-269 West 125th Street, near the Eighth Avenue "L" station and thus is easily accessible to all parts of the city. Sociologists, prospective students, parents and other interested visitors are welcome to inspect the facilities and inquire into the curriculum of the school. The management also announces that a descriptive catalog will be sent on request. The September Mission Herald carries the following appeal for funds for Christmas gifts to be sent to Africa: "Again we are appealing to the millions of Baptists throughout the country for a love offering for Africa this Christmas." We want everyone of our five boarding schools to receive some Christmas cheer from us. These patients contain many little children, few health humans who will bear the first time about Christmas. These little hearts have moved inside with the good news of the Christus who offers to the earth long ago by a governor of "earth soil." As many of these families are now given AFRICA'S AND INDIA'S MILLIONS MUST BE FREE Riddles Claims of Imperialists That White Men Preserved Africans—Points to Fact Africa Gave Civilization to the World—Awakened; Scientific Africa Will Surely, If Need Be, Strike a Blow for Liberty On the eve of proceeding to Geneva, there to present a petition on behalf of the Negro-race, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, delivered a brilliant address on Sunday afternoon, September 2nd, in the Century Theatre, Westbourne Grove, West London, to a large audience of English men and women and Negroes, the former predominating. His appearance at the theatre opened a series of speeches scheduled to be delivered for a week, presenting the case of the Negro to the British people for their consideration and judgment. Following the memorable Albert Hall address of July 6th the announcement of the appearance of the famous advocate of the Negro race excited great interest and the auditorium was well filled as the Chairman of the meeting, Dr. Charles Garnett, M.A., D.D., LL.D., rapped for order. On the occasion of the Albert Hall address Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the President-General in America, was the chairman, while Dr. Garnett was one of the principal speakers. A concert program, to which Miss Ethyl Qughton-Clarke, American colofuratura soprano, was the chief contributor, preceded the speech-making. Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey, wife of the President-General, delivered a message from the Negro women of the world to English women, and created a profound impression among her hearers. Her speech was printed in full in last week's issue of The Negro World. As Mrs. Garvey concluded her address, the Chairman, Dr. Garnett, introducing the Hon. Marcus Garvey, said: "You have all read or heard of a certain feast of long age at which the best item was reserved until the last. We are acting on that principle today and I now have the greatest pleasure in calling upon Mr. Marcus Garvey to address us. My only regret is that all London cannot hear the speaker and of the subject; but so far as you are concerned I think you are to be congratulated on having an opportunity of hearing, perhaps for the first time, a statement of the case of the black folk by one of their most powerful and eloquent speakers. Definition of a Speaker "I am quite sure that if we were to put Mr. Garvey in the right category, according to American notions it would be in the last category. I remember on my first visit to America I had an opportunity of going into the Middle States and fraternizing with the black folk. I attended a number of meetings of one kind, and another, and I was particularly struck with the description that was usually given of the several speakers and how they spoke of their addresses. If a man made a few remarks they would say. "We liked your talk today, stranger." If he talked at some length, I suppose they would think he had devoted some time to the preparation of his address and they would say. You gave us a fine address today." If you knew further still and after careful preparation you delivered an address which involved a good deal of preparation, they would go a step further and say. That was a fine oration." Their idea of an orator is the same as your own; he is a man who speaks earnestly and convincingly and persuasively. I believe Mr. Garvey is in that category, and I am sure you will confirm what I have said about that when you have listened to the address with which he will now favor us. (Hear, hear.) MR. GARVEY'S ADDRESS Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen. Fellow Citizens:—it was your responsibility to aid a few days ago Mr. Kellogg, a good old man from the United States of America, journeyed across the Atlantic with a bit of paper; his purpose was to secure signatures to a pact; the object of it was outlawing war and permanently establishing peace. To the thoughtful mind, to the sober intellect, the whole thing appears so hypocritical and false that I wonder really what is coming to the world. Those of us who have followed the trend of human events within the last half century know well and fully realize how corrupt the world is, especially the statesmanship of the world. A great era of hypocrisy we have never had than that of the statesmanship of the Twentieth Century. How in the name of goodness intelligent men who claim to be leaders of great groups can imagine that they can, just by signing a bit of paper and making a few statements, put to rest the hopes of millions of down-trodden and oppressed peoples is something marvelous. Everyone Wants Peace Who does not want peace? Everyone wants peace. The black man wants peace—probably more than, anyone else, because up to now, for the last 3,000 years, he has been a man of peace, the proof of which in that today you find him without any battleships or navy, without any standing army, without any big guns and without any system, by which we can take other people's rights and lives. Look around, and wherever you find a black man he is a man of peace. So do not mistake me, that I am for war. I am not I am out for human justice, and I am sensible enough to know that so long as the gobber retains the loot the man who has lost his property cannot be at peace with his vicarious neighbor or with anyone else whom he suspects. How, in the name of goodness, do you expect you can have peace in the world when you keep down 400,000,000 Indians, when you keep down 400,000,000 other black people, grind the blood and sweat out of them, kick them from pillar to post? Is it not a farce when you declare for peace without taking these people into consideration? LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday Night, Sept. 23. Every seat was filled at an early hour tonight on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting of the New York Local and Garvey Club. The large numbers who stood about the doors, viewing the proceedings and straining for every word which fell from the speakers' lips, bore testimony to the increasing popularity of the movement in the Nation's metropolis. In the absence of Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the President-General, Hon. S. A. Haynes, High Commissioner for the States of North and South Carolina and Virginia, and President of the Philadelphia Division, delivered the principal address, which was much appreciated. Brief addresses were also delivered by Mrs. L. McCartney, 1st Lady Vice-President of the President-General, and Mr. J. Boltram. As is usual, the meeting was in the capable hands of Hon. J. H. Miller, 1st Vice-President of the New York Local. Hon. B. A. Haynes's Address Hon. S. A. Haynes, High Commissioner for North and South Carolina and Virginia, President of the Philadelphia Division, spoke as follows: "At the kind invitation of the Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the President-General, I have come tonight to discuss the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as given to us by the Hon. Marcus Garvey. First of all, in my capacity of President of the Philadelphia Division, I want you to know that Philadelphia is taking care of itself; Philadelphia is marching on to success. During the two months that I have been at the helm I am pleased to report that the membership in Philadelphia is rallying solidly behind the program. Our Sunday afternoon meetings, have grown so that we haven't got room to put the people. Divisions in the South "Just a few words about our Divisions in North and South Carolina and Virginia. Our work in North Carolina is progressing by leaps and bounds, more especially in Wington Salem, where we have the largest and most progressive Division; in Spencer, where we have recently organized a new unit; in Greenbord, the gateway of the West, where we have a wonderful Garvey Club made up of young boys and girls who are students of the various institutions in Greenbord. We are also doing fine work in Asheville and Kingston, North Carolina. In Virginia the work is progressing favorably. In Berkeley, under the stalwart and uncompromising leadership of the Hon. H. J. Wall, the Division is making rapid strides. Out in De Witt, not far from Petersburg, we have another wonderful Division, the president of which is Sandy White, 72 years of age. Mr. White is sending his young daughter, Otella, to Liberty University when it opens on Wednesday. That goes to show that the spirit of Garveyism is, very rampant, in the Southland. U. N. I. A. Program Now for our program. The Universal Negro Improvement Association champions the founding of a powerful Negro government in Africa for the protection of Negro life and property throughout the world. Some of our people, micro particularly those who are slaves to the letter of the 14th and 15th arguments to the United States Constitution, have got the impression that Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association look unkindly upon the brilliant achievements of the Negro up from slavery and are anxious to nullify this brilliancy by not giving it its proper place in our struggle toward the farmer emancipation. If we look unkindly upon anything it is the Negro's inability to fully comprehend what is going on round and about him. The Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks rather to perpetuate these achievements by giving to the race at large *u* security that others would be bound to respect. This security lies in the establishment PATRONIZE To Readers of THE NEGRO WORLD We are appealing to you at this time to support as much as possible the advertisers in this medium. As you may realize, it is the advertisers who are the main contributors to the uptake of our paper, therefore if you will help those who advertise with us by purchasing from them, you will be benefiting yourselves and of the many times during the NEGRO WORLD which much needed it.

Certainly such an ideal should make the same appeal to black men as it does to white men. Fellow men and women of the Negro race, this is no time for singing and praying. We must look to our conscience, for therein God dwells, and the only sign we shall have is the response of our conscience to these injustices being visited upon us. No sadder spectacle appears upon the international horizon than this ship, of state of 400,000,000 black men and women drifting for want of a compass, drifting for want of a rudder. It is appalling to know, it is tragic, that the second largest race group in the world is dependent rather than independent. Every oppressed race of people is striking out for a nationality of their own. We are living in an age when humanity everywhere is determined to safeguard those rights and privileges which are the common heritage of mankind. Alive to Its Duty In harmony with others, Africa cries out for greater freedom and greater recognition. For centuries the teeming millions of this vast and wealthy continent have slept indifferent to its value as a savior of nations, but today all Africa, through the instrumentality of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is fully awakened to the sense of duty. The Hon. Marcus Garvey, by his undying loyalty and matchless leadership, the members of the Association by their impregnable determination to make Africa for the Africans a reality, have hurled a thunderbolt into the chancelleries of Europe. Englishmen and Frenchmen, Germans and Italians, Belgians and Portuguese know now that the legitimate heirs whom they slaughtered to make Africa a white man's country are really coming back to take full control of the land of their fathers. (Aplause.) No Longer Humorous That is why the white man in Europe has taken Mr. Garvey's visit so seriously. Before the President-General went to Europe Europeans felt for the propaganda which filtered through the American press. But four months of Garvey and Garveyism in Europe have convinced the wily imperialists of London and Paris, Brussels and Rome that there is nothing humorous in the ambitious program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They know now that America can afford to laugh at Garvey and his legions because America has nothing to lose in the realization of a free and redeemed Africa. Highest Ideals Time was when the olds were against the Negro. Not so now. The odds today are against the white man, and he knows it. The U. N. I. A. program calls for the highest demonstration of manhood of which the Negro is capable. It is a program, which ex-emplifies not only the highest ideals of civilization, but, all in all, it is a program which embodies our dearest ambitions, and desires. It speaks in highest terms of human understanding and racial good-will. The Supreme Test The Universal Negro Improvement Association is called upon to revive the spirit of our forefathers. There must be no retreat; there must be no regrets; there must be no apologies; there must be no compromise. We must go forward conquering and to conquer. There must be no weakening in the prosecution of our holy duty to Africa and to the race. In this, the supreme test of our lifetime, we must stand unfilinchingly, we must stand unimidified and unafraid.

God gave you a brain to play your part, Make it lead a nation or draw a cart. You can fill it with germs or stuff it with slime. Make it live for a day or live for all time. God gave you a soul that can grow or shrink. Make it white or black by the thoughts you think. You can sink to the level of the sordid sod, Or climb to the mountain and talk with God. (Loud applause.) Census Shows Irish State Is a Paradise for Women DUELIN, Sept. 20.—Ireland would seem to be an ideal country for women, according to a Free State Government report on the 1926 census issued today. Unlike England, there are fewer women than men, the numbers being 1,465,103 females to 2,971,992 males. Women have found their way into nearly every profession and trade. There are women police, veterinary, surgeons, architects, cattle and sheep dealers, pig dealers, horse dealers, auctioncers, valuers, lighthouse officials, engineers, stone cutters, dentists and even one woman chimney, sweep. In agriculture 672,129 men and women are engaged, or six times as many in proportion to population as in England. Tears are a salty fluid secreted in the eyes to molsten them, facilitate their motion and keep the eyeball clean. Under normal conditions the tear glands do not secrete more fluid than can be taken off by the duct which passes into the nose. When we cut an onion a very volatile chemical is released. Small particles, invisible to the eye, get on the eyeball and cause irritation. Immediately the tear glands flood the eyes with tears to wash away this objectionable chemical. There is a belief that if a pin is held between the teeth while peeling onions the eyes will not be affected. ICE are hereby notified that we supplies that are necessary the work of Supplies L. A. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. 22. More than 16,000 cases of influenza were reported by the health authorities and Red Cross chapters, at the Island relief organization meeting here today. They also reported 5,000 other cases of malaria, measles and other diseases. Grave concern is felt over the situation, with the possibility that there will be an outside call for nurses if the influenza cases continue their tendency to develop into pneumonia. More Health Forces May Be Needed The Red Cross stands ready to assist the Health Commissioner if he decides additional forces are needed. Because of travel conditions and the topography of the island, the hospital forces due to arrive from New York will be broken into small units and scattered wherever the danger exists. Reports of 284,000 homeless were given by representatives by thirty-eight towns at today's meeting. Henry M. Baker, national disaster relief director of the Red Cross, said that the total is probably double this because of failure of the notices of the meeting to reach some towns and the inability of many doctors and chapter heads to travel to San Juan. Mr. Baker said that the towns reporting give 210 dead and 2,771 injured. The town representatives, while requesting additional supplies, reiterated that relief work is progressing efficiently. First Train Runs Today Tomorrow morning the first train that has moved in the island since the disaster will leave San Juan with a load of lumber for the interior. Hitherto all supplies have been sent either by motor truck or by sea. The first street car ran today in San Juan since the hurricanes. Numerous rain-storms today aggre- vated health conditions. It was the first bad weather since the storm. With only temporary shelter to repair to, it appeared that much of the population faced discomfort. Mr. Baker will start on a tour of the island tomorrow. 150-Mile Trip Reveals Havoe CAYEY, Porto Rico, Sept. 28. — A trip of 150 miles through eastern and southern Porto Rico, the section hit hardest by the hurricane of September, 13, impresses the traveler most strongly with the speed with which the island roads have been cleared and the self sufficient energy with which the people have erected temporary habitations. Along with the marvels of escape recounted in every town is the complete lack of definite knowledge of the number killed by the hurricane. Here, for instance, Police Chief Riverm Cabrera said that there were twenty-two dead the day after the storm, with a few more bodies found during the next two days. Five minutes later Padre Luciano Martínez said that he had conducted fifty-six hurricane funerals. Besides this there was a small number of Protestant burials. The number of Jivaros killed in the inaccessible mountains and buried by their families or friends without benefit of clerky, or those not buried at all, will probably never be ascertainable. The refugees are living where they can, in city halls, churches and schools. Pedro Martínez' church here is filled with women and children, sick and injured. Forty miles away, at the little seacoast barrio of Guardarraya, nine graves may be counted. Each contains two bodies. All eighteen dead, from two families, were killed in the little church in which they had sought shelter. Malaria Menace in Patillas In Patilla, where new graves have been made in unconsecrated ground, for a distance of thirty kilometers only the grass is green. Such trees as stand are here. At Fabucon, Dr. Manuel B. Berrlos, in charge of the Public Health unit, has pitched a tent for an emergency clinic on a raised platform which had been part of the public school. Dr. Berrlos said that the malaria had been bad before the storm and was now worse. At no place in the town, about the 150-mile tour was there any evidence of a critical food shortage nor of any profitting. CANTOW, Sept. 21. Greater enthusiasm for good roads and motor- car transportation of all kinds in Canton and throughout South China has been created, by a visit of a representative of the American National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, Walton Scientific, of New York.

The Covenant of the League includes a clause universally accepted that the Monroe Doctrine, and Costa Rica, which states people are retired from the League and has been invited to serve, politely inspired just what it was also would be asked to indorse. The gravy hands of Genova looked at one another, but none dared reply. At a secret all-day session of the Council, it is said, the representatives of three Latin-American nations told the European plenipotentiaries "very interesting" things, but the conclusion of their deliberations was that Costa Rica had been indiscreet and it was better to leave it understood that the Monroe Doctrine was just the Monroe Doctrine. Doubts that was the earliest course. But we wish the League had asked Washington to define the Monroe Doctrine. It would be a shock to some of our imperial statement if they ever found themselves compelled to read President Monroe's modest declarations and to compare them with the extravagances of our present policy.—The National. It is inconceivable that there can ever be an appreciable measure of sustained prosperity in a community in which thirty-six per cent of the population is virtually reduced to economic stability. Manufacturers and business firms, which displace Negro workers where unnecessary, are actually cutting off an economic arm, or their own, for good wages and adequate opportunity to work among Negroes is a positive stimulant to good business.—Norfolk Journal and Guide. An ideal citizen is the one who sees clearly and ever something good in the city and never loses the opportunity to spread that good news abroad that others might derive the benefits therefrom, whose unselfishness prompts him to want others to share opportunities, health and pleasure which his home city offers. Loyalty is the first requisite for the ideal citizen. The love for the place and his neighbors which dismiss the thought of self interest or policy and resolves itself into the knowledge of duty when he does all in his power to make the city a better place in which to live.-California Eagle. Presidential Nominee Smith could not be a "little man" and be the Governor of New York State. He is liberal minded and believers in a much larger degree than the party which he represents, that every American citizen should have "equality of opportunity." Arguments to the contrary will serve as a smoke screen only to the uninformed minority of white and colored citizens, for there are many offices of trust, at this very moment, in the State of New York that are being filled by qualified Negroes, men and women and there is no probability of this number, being decreased, whether Governor Smith is elevated to the Presidency, or not—Shreveport, Sun. To please a white man many Negroes can always be depended upon to speak evil of other members of the race. Wherever this has happened, the advantage gained has been small, whether personal and hellish, or for the party. At no time has the end justified the means.

BEN DAVIS WAXES WROTH FEW weeks ago a number of Negroes of Valdosta, Ga., got together and formed an "Al Smith for President League." This information was conveyed to us in the following news paragraph which appeared in numerous newspapers throughout the nation; "Valdosta, Ga. Sept. 7.—The race voters of this city have formed an 'Al Smith for President League.' The League, it is said, adopted resolutions condemning the Republican attitude toward the Negro and commending Smith's views on prohibition and other issues. "The Negro Democrat league is headed by Dr. L. W. Williams, prominent local physician and leader." In common with many newspapers, we became much interested in this news item. The American people, and the Negro group in particular, North, South, East and West, have for so long and so assiduously been taught to believe that it is heresy for a black man of woman to think politically along any other but Republican lines, that we rubbed our eyes as we read this pochal and welcome announcement. We greg glad that Republican trickery and hypocrisy, deception and broken faith had been at last so fully revealed to the Negro that even below the Mason and Dixon line to sad Negro hearts revulsion had come. We rejoiced that in Georgia, as in other Southern communities, the new light had shone and that in the emergence of that great liberal, Alfred E. Smith, of New York, as the leader of the Nation's Democracy black men and women seemed to see a new ray of hope. We were inclined to applaud their action in breaking away from the fetters of a not unreasonable prejudice, to essay a change, to court the new phenomenon, and to take counsel of what might well prove to be Opportunity. We so felt because we are persuaded that the political status of the Negro in the South will not be bettered by a mullish attitude toward the Democratic barons of the Southland, any more than by a slavish obsequiousness and fatuous loyalty to the soulless Republicans. A few days later we came across an editorial in the Atlanta Independent, which, commenting on the Valdosta Smith-for-President League, almost took on breath away. In the course of this editorial, which is reprinted in fall on this page, the Atlanta Independent worked itself into a frenzy, styled the Valdosta League as "three cheap Negroes bidding for cheap notoriety," and made a bid for deathless fame by proclaiming that "A Democratic Negro is the only Negro that wants social equality." Recalling with deep pain that only a few brief months ago Ben Davis, as Republican National Committeeman for Georgia, was accounted one of the leaders of the people, and still amazed at the meticulous exemplification of the turn-the-other-check attitude which this victim of shameless Republicanism, under Hoover, has so carefully persevered in toward the Republican party, we gave vent to our grief and dismay. Predicating our editorial upon his vitriolic and, as we thought and still think, unwarranted attack upon his Valdosta kinsmen, we took him to task. In the September 15 issue of The Negro World we ventured to suggest that his nauseating embrace of the Republican party in the face of its treasonable dealing with him and his was considerably more funny to Negroes at large than Valdosta Negro Democrats ever could be to him, and we wondered what had the Negro rage done to Ben Davis to cause him to conceive that "a Democratic Negro is the only Negro that wants social equality." We so mused and were prepared to forget the episode; but Ben Davis is not disposed to let us forget. In an editorial printed on the front page of the September 20 issue of the Atlanta independent he comes back. He shuts the Valdosta affair and his mishful pronunciation about social equality (the cause of all the trouble) and, tearing his hair, seeks to castigate The Negro World, talks about Marcus Garvey and regales his readers with his reasons for "going along with the Republicans," who, every one but he knows, have long since ceased to go along with him. Says Ben Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent: "The Independent is one hundred per cent. Republican because it cannot be bought by the democratic money or be bullied out of the party by ill white bastard Republicans and commissaried Negro grafters; who would sell their wives and daughters into political slavery and economical ruins, for pall and plunder. We will enter into no endless quarrel with the World, but will content ourselves to give reasons for the faith that is in us. We have no quarrel with the Republican party, and if we have been mistreated as alleged by the World, it is a family within the Party, and it is no alien's business. "Party differences must be nettled inside, not outside the Party. "We are Republicans and offer no guidance for our Path. The Independent has the same right to go along with the Republican inside the organization that the World has to-train the Democratic Party outside of the ranks, with the help of receiving a few ornaments from the hands of Helfin, Blakee, and Pat Hatfield. We are not going to get out of the ship into the sea. We are Republicans and no man inside the party, black or white, can make us fitless to prejudice, because of fear of insurgency graftives. Let Some Wish, why, our Mission and We are going to fight it out about the Republican ship." If this is not the product of a disordered mind, then we do not know what is. If the Republican party, they out contemporary. In effect, in favor of the truth; if it has provided a damnable decibel with the Negro if the main effectively to abolish the professional and promote it. If simpler and less fatish work. Where Republicanism appropriately, as the result to be forgotten example of what its heartlessness and treachery is capable. I will not complain; nor should you Negroism, prejudice. This is to all a little family affair. Athletics is meant to push himself. Party differences must be settled. What know when the future has in store for us in rubber rugs. Convince a penny of the present in any other service, free and invariable or party for political service in any other service. The Negro World, under the guidance of Misses Carver, has always expressed men and women, reaffirming that there is nothing in a party alone. The Negro World has not been prohibited a penny and will not accept a penny from the Democratic party for associating the election of Alfred E. Smith in November. As the organ of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the greatest Negro organization in the world, as the mouthpiece of the New Negro, we are above despicable bartering. The Negro World counsels support of the Democratic party in the coming election, but it is not unmindful of the age-long hostility of the white man of the Southland toward the Negro. The Negro World knows, too, that the "white supremacy" spirit animates and has always animated and will always animate white men, the majority group in America, whether Socialist, Republican or Democratic, and that a frank exhibition of this spirit is to be preferred to the dark, deceiving ways of the hypocrite. The Negro World believes, as it stated in these columns on August 4, that "with Smith as President of the United States it is fair to assume that she status of the Negro the world over will be bettered by such influence as this Republic may choose and is able to exert," and that, "with Hoover in the White House you may be sure of a swift descent, nationally and internationally." When a few misguided Negro newspapers show sorry for their sins, and penitent, indulged in an orgy of misrepresentation of Marcus Garvey and his organisation, the Atlanta Independent at tintes, with reservations, "did say a good word in his behalf. But we can see no reason why, because Ben Davis two years ago chose to give some true reflection of public opinion about Marcus Garvey, The Negro World today should be silent in the face of as ridiculous a pose as a Negro leader ever struck. The editor of the Atlanta Independent says, "We cannot be bought by Democratic money not bulldozed by Lily White Republicans." The Negro World cannot be bought by Democratic money nor be bulldozed by any sort of a Republican, Lily White or otherwise. PORTO RICO, America's adopted child, is in dire distress. Influenza and malaria have arrived to add to the horror and despair left by the storm. Porto Rico has appealed to its foster parent for help and the Red Cross, America's hand of mercy, has immediately stretched across the water with its ever-present aid for any and all sufferers. The American people have been asked to give five million dollars as soon as possible to assist this distressed group. This appeal will in due course reach black Americans as well as white ones, and although American Negroes, en masse, have very little to give away, it is to be hoped that they will remember when the appeal conies that thousands of Porto Ricans are of Negroid extraction and, therefore, the blood brothers of American Negroes. Any gift, however small, must help. The Red Cross is to be commended for its prompt assistance to this unfortunate group and ought to be given all possible aid. But the problem of assistance for Porto Rico goes far beyond the present help that interested and sympathetic Americans are now rendering. For more than twenty-five years Porto Rico has been under the wing of the American government. Since 1898, when Porto Rico was "freed" from the hand of its Spanish oppressor, American hands have guided Porto Rican affairs. It is said that the economic situation never has been particularly healthy there, but, good or bad, the United States has consistently stayed on the job of directing the destiny of this small group. All of which may have been for the best. Now we are wondering if the United States will not carry this benevolent protection a bit further and in the near future take steps to establish an appropriation which would materially assist in the economic rehabilitation of this little country which is now facing a condition which most native-born Americans are unable to adequately visualize. We are told that the damage, which includes almost the entire destruction of the crops which would have furnished the livelihood for thousands of natives during the coming months, exceeds a hundred million dollars. It is not hard to understand what this must mean to a people who had staked their all on what the storm has swept away. The Red Cross is asking for five million dollars. But what are five million dollars when they are placed where one hundred million stood before. Porto Rico needs an appropriation from the United States to assist this stricken people to regain its economic legs. The United States has always declared itself to be kindly disposed toward Porto Rico and we believe that it will take steps to relieve the condition of its hapless ward as soon as the next Congress convenes. SAFEGUARD YOUR IDEAS SEVERAL days ago a New York paper gave a white man's version of the patent suit of a Negro inventor who died a broken and disappointed man because he had too much faith in a white man's honesty and good-will. The case cited was that of the late Albert R. Robinson of Chicago, Illinois, whose damage suit against the Chicago Surface Lines for patent infringement has been in the American courts for more than twenty-five years. Thousands of Negroes in the middle west are familiar with the case and personally knew Mr. Robinson, to whom they gave money to assist him in prosecuting his case. It seems that since his death, in 1925, his heirs have continued to press this case, which is an outstanding example of the wells of despair into which any uninformed and misguided Nemo may fall. Elbert Robinson perfected a patent which was of great value to the street car company in Chicago. While the patent-yet was pending he made the mistake of revealing his secret to an official of the company, with the hope of obtaining a market for his invention. This tricky company official immediately put to good use the knowledge gained by the information given by Robinson in regard to his invention. When the patent rights were acquired by Robinson he learned to his dismay that the railway company was already using his idea. He instituted suit against the company without success. And for twenty-five years to the day of his death he fought and begged for justice. This is just the story of a Negro who did not WITH THE PRESENTATION OF THE GREAT GREATNESS OF THE WORLD, THE GREAT GREATNESS OF THE WORLD, HEALTH.

THE VERY WORDS The following is the editorial which appeared in *The Atlanta Independent* on September 6 and which drew a re-attention to *The Negro World* a week later; Much Ado About Nothing The Democrats are making a mighty noise because three Negro got together at Valorado a few days ago and constituted themselves an Al Smith Club for President by electing one of the three chiefmen, and the other two secretary and treasurer. Others purporting to be present were neither present nor authorized the use of their names and didn't hesitate to repodicate the mistigued, two who heard about Rasko's Democratic slush fund. The Maloata Times, a country daily, that has been having fits because Ben Davis had to do with the distribution, of Federal patronage in the state, is falling over itself promulgating to the world that the Democrats have a few Negro baby* Democrats in Lowndes county. Senator Harris is running over the state denouncing the Republican Party for permitting Negroes to vote, while his party is organizing Negro Al Smith Clubs throughout the country. It has not been many moons since the editor of the Valdosta Times was denouncing the Republicans because it recognized Negroes in politics, and now he takes up a whole column on the editorial page of this paper to announce to the world that the Democrats of Georgia have an *Al Smith Club* of three cheap Negroes bidding for cheap notoriety. "A Democratic Negro is the only Negro that wants social equality. The little Al Smith's-Negro Club at Valdosta does not rise to the dignity of a decent Joke. No self-respecting Negro can be a Democrat so long as the party adheres to its policy of, race hatred and political tolerance; how can a Negro in Georgia be a Democrat so long as Editor C. Brantley and his party conduct a white primary and refuse to let any Negro vote in it? How can a self-respecting Negro vote the Democratic ticket while the Democrats in Florida and Texas go into court and sue one outfitting, enjoining and restraining all Negroes from voting in white primaries? There is no need of worrying about the Negro Democratic babies at Valdosta, they'll die aburning. Let the Atlanta Constitution and the Macon Telegraph join the chorus in spreading the good news and glad tidings that Georgia has a Nigger Smith for President, Club; let the New York World herald the Mings, too. Let Senator Harris herald the message far and, pride that the Democrats have opened wide their political church and are taking Negroes into full membership.

In a conspicuous editorial entitled "Prevention of Lynchings," the Nashville Christian Advocates official general organ of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, highly commends the recently- enacted Virginia anti-lynch law which opposes the State to punish county officials for "County officials may object to, such a show of State authority," the Advocate says, "but the law is good. Something must be done in the name of the whole country when communities are found where juries refuse to convict lynchers, where grand jurors will not bring indictments, where protests through the pulpit and the press are the only deterents, notoriously effective. There is no defense of lynching and no excuse for communities where lynchers cannot and are not brought to justice from treason and from conviction when testimony proves them guilty." The editor expresses the opinion that "if all the people in a community were as much opposed to mobs are the better class, there would be no more lynching. But so long as there are lawless men who reissue, they'll fury upon a victim there must be restraint upon them. And by the strong arm of the government." THE CHILD Children need plenty of sleep—from 9 to 15 hours every night in order to live well, working for a whole of children who should play very little part in the life. When the school is open, the school will open this year, and the school will offer the best class of skills of the school. British and Irish men of the House of Commons have been especially drawn to the idea of the union as a means of greater social cooperation. The life of democracy is distorted light, and the status of Irish settlers is threatened. The need of the Irish nation to be united and to be free from oppression is the main reason for the need for a new brother. Although there is no evidence of such a brother, South Africa are now taking a hard line to promote the unity of the nation. However changes in the suggestion may seem to make more concessions to the surging racial currents which are now running in Africa. It is also emphasized the fact that the British Lion is not lord of all his savages from Cape to the Cape. The Philadelphia Press Records discuss the problem in the following editorial motion: "By deposition of the Imperial Conference two years ago the Union of South Africa was recognized as a free nation, self-governing in both its domestic and foreign affairs—a member of its known choice of the association in the so-called British Empire but bound thereof only by allegiance to the crown. Only by this recognition of substantial dependence was the menace of a secession movement ever avoided. Yet today these potential rebels are gravely discussing the desirability of stepping a member of the House of Windsor as their king. In "One Vesperday," a Boer periodical, it is seriously suggested that Prince George, Duke of Gloucester, now visiting Africa with his brother of Wales, should be appointed the next Governor General of the Union—with a view to his coronation later." "This extraordinary proposal, however, by no means signifies a bending of the Beer neck to the British yoke. On the contrary, it is designed as a move towards accession. The idea is that, the Union would thus become not a British Dominion, but a wholly independent monarchy, the only imperial tie being the blood relationship of the Windsor King. Such a scheme, it is argued, would satisfy British pride, while permitting South Africa to develop complete independence and an untrammeled democracy." The Foundation of Happiness Discussing "Wisdom—the Foundation of Happiness," Bernarr MacAdam gives out the following philosophy, which brings a poignant message to all, irrespective of race or creed: "Only the wise man truly lives. "Only the man and woman of energy, and character, who aspire to higher and nobler things, and who strive to learn from life as they go along, really live. "Such people develop their minds and bodies. They put their brain powers to work. "These are the people who advance civilization a little higher and who make the world a better place to live in." "Ignorance is no sin. Man is born in ignorance." "Dut to remain in ignorance is one of the greatest of alna" "And many are, content to remain in ignorance." "Wake up, you brain-lazy ones!" " "Arouse your latent force. "Dust away the oobwebs from your unused faculties and oil the machinery of your mind with the desire to understand. "Put your mind into your life. "Make your experiences teach you the ways of life. "Experience is a great teacher—be not of the foolish class who do not learn of her." The individual who hopes to get anywhere in this world must hearken to these truths. The race which intends to win recognition must maintain institutions to diffuse this philosophy to its members. Black men must understand it is no aim to be down, but it is a crime to stay down. Forcing ourselves to be content with conditions imposed upon us by a stronger race is the attitude of cowards. We are at the bottom of the racial indictor not because we are weak, but because we are not ready, to pay the price to be strong and powerful. When we speak of the superiority of one man, one race, one nation over another, we have reference only to the superior mental development of one mind as against the other. It is the thinkers who fashion the policies of society, they lay the foundation of civilizations. To think well, to think constructively and judiciously for the peace and comfort of ourselves and Africa, black men must hold fast to the religion of Christ, life wholesome lives, maintain healthy bodies, respect the laws of nature and keep pressing forward. After the Parade—What? Thousands of men and women Hurrying to and fro. Thousands of stars above them Beckoning as they go. Where, oh, where are they going. These busy human souls? What, oh, what are they seeking. How far apart the goals? Happiness, peace or trouble. Mother, husband, or friends; Is it any empty bubble There where the rainbow ends? Thousands of smiles and wrinkles. Laughter and muffled screams. Ring mid a flow of tinsels. Ring in their world of dreams. How to Avert the Clash Nothing would bolster up the waning confidence of native Africans in British justice at this time better than the presence of Marcus Garvey in Africa. Here is something that the statesmen of France and Great Britain should consider to their advantage. The seeming millions of natives are thrilled and expectant at the new philosophy of Garvey. They have heard from travellers and missionaries of the great organisation he founded. They have heard of the methods by which he hopes to keep Africa for the 'Africans'. African students in Europe have relayed his weekly messages to their Britons: 'If the hinterland in tribal Rugueses and all Africa waits to greet the apostle of African Redemption, of whom they have heard and read so much about. The wisest political stroke Great Britain, France, Italy, Portugal and Belgium could make at this time when their prestige hangs in the balance in Africa, is to give Mr. Garvey, free access to the land of his father; permit him to travel his program to the reigning chief and tribal leaders, and through their interpeters, minister to Africans at home the desire of Africans abroad for a booing of environmental and physical energies for the preservation of African civilisation. State man, Not Satan There is nothing to be feared in granting Mr. Gervay this privilege. This writer knows him as a man of peace, imbued only with the spirit of loyalty is Africa and the face. What he means is a reasonable understanding with the powerful leader towards the preservation of the liberty of black men and the independence of their country. There is only the living inhabitant that can help the mighty horrors of diminished Africa in attack, only that each govern the inevitable plank between the races in Africa—the West, North Africa, and the Middle East, not in Africa, where the question is innermost. What constitutes the African虹虹 in Gervay? How do our lives influence present or future human history? There is only one way to find the answer. Prayer and public festival of the Universal Micro Improvement Association is being spoken to his fellowmen in Africa, surrounded with many present, please at his disposal such privileges as bequeath his guardians the freedom and the safety of the star. This is the necessary step for his fellowmen to be free from the oppression of the world. This is very important to our world here in the world. "TAMMANY!" MARCUS GARVEY STATES WHY HE IS FOR SMITH AND AGAINST HOOVER (Extract from Speech Delivered in London September 2) (Extract from Speech Deil "Do you know why I am for Smith against Hoover? It is because Smith is a man from the people; Smith is a man who has sprung from the common people, he knows their wan's and their heart beats and their pulse. Hoover has been member of monopolist class; he is himself a millionaire; he can only see American politics and American power from the capitalist point of view. You must have read of the great rubber combine in America. Hoover was ne of the men responsible for sending me to prison because it was to America's interest, and, not only that, but to the interest of certain American capitalists, to have me imprisoned so that Hoover could back Firestone in Liberia in connection with the rubber limits, and which have been disposed of to us by agreement with the Liberian Government. When Firestone found there was a possibility of a shortage of rubber in America and there was nowhere where America could obtain rubber other than from England, they sent their commercial investigators all over the world and they found that it was possible for rubber to be grown in Liberia. Then Hoover backed up Firestone to get the President of Liberia to give up the contract he had entered into with me so that the American Ne Simon Commission Again Headed for India on "Autonomy Inquiry" LONDON, Sept. 20.—Sir John Simon and his colleagues of the Indian Statutory Commission will return to India on Thursday of next week to complete their inquiry into that country's thirst for further autonomy. Their arrival in India last Winter was greeted by riots which led in some places to loss of life. Since then the situation has greatly improved and the commission will repeat its visit with much brighter hopes of obtaining the co-operation of the Indians themselves. In February a vigorous agitation in favor of boycotting the commission was being conducted, the boycott being as popular as a political expedient in India as it is in China. The Council of State, which in India is the Senate or House of Lords, passed a resolution favoring co-operation but, the Legislative Assembly, which is the popular branch of parliament, rejected it in any form. Since then the boycott agitation has frequently, but it has failed to standardize all Indian political opinion. BODSTHAM Parliament Friendly Serve one of the provincial par- lments have decided in favour of amalgamation. With this large majority of the provincial parliaments and the amalgamation of State of all India on its side, the Ministry Commission has decided it can conclude the work with amalgamating the provinces of Inner and Outer Hebrides. groes could repatriate themselves and help build up Liberia to have a permanent and peaceful home of their own—Hoover used his power as Secretary of Commerce not only to imprison me, but to take away from the Negroes a concession that had been given to them and to give it to Firestone so that the natives of Liberia could be exploited for the benefit of American capital. Two years after Firestone went there he reduced the natives to virtual slavery; he got the government to use the natives to build roads to give access to his plantations; they had to work without proper provision for food and without any pay. Hoover represents in American life people like that. "Through my organization it is my duty, before God and before man, to see to it that a man like that, if possible, is not returned as President of the United States, such a great country with such a great power can do so much good or ill. That is why I am for Smith, a man who would not tolerate such a method in politics; a man who has been fair and square in all his dealings and governor of New York State. The Negroes of America can put their trust in him, and I hope he will be returned as President of the United States of America at the next election." Tammany has not controlled Gov. Smith's legislative policy. The great measures of Gov. Smith's regime have been the reorganizing of the State Government along the lines laid down by Republicans like Mr. Root, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Stimson. The whole purpose of that reorganization has been to destroy invisible, government. No honest student of politics can examine Gov. Smith's legislative record and fail to see that it embodies the best known principles for eliminating boss and machine rule which American experience has thus far suggested. Tammany has not controlled his administrative action. At no time in his four terms has he had a Democratic majority in both houses of the legislature. Every dollar spent has been passed upon first by Republicans. Every important appointment has been confirmed by Republicans. No appointment has ever failed of confirmation. No veto has ever been overridden. No scandal has ever been proved against his Administration. No scandals are even charged by Republicans against his Administration. Composition by Negro To Be Played by Noted Philadelphia Orchestra That is why this newspaper, which severely criticised Alfred E. Smith in his younger days, which is wholly independent of Tammany Hall and persistently critical of the Tammany Administration in the City of New York, is prepared to say and prove that the Administration of Gov. Smith is the ablest, purest and most constructive period in the history of the Government of the State of New York. The statements made here are known to all well informed New Yorkers. They have won him tributes of admiration from Republicans and Democrats which are without parallel in our political life. Mr. Aaron Harrison submitted his latest composition, "Spiritual Fantasy," to the Symphony Club of Philadelphia, and received the following reply: "We shall be pleased to have the orchestra play your number, and furthermore we will permit you to conduct the rehearsal. This is the first time a member of our race has been grained such an opportunity. Therefore, we say that when leading Republican politicians from New York sally forth crying that the election of Smith means "Tammany" they are not describing the facts they know, but are appealing to the lowest and most vulgar prejudices. "Spiritual Fantasia" contains 12 Negro spirituals so arranged harmonically and contrapuntally to obtain a classing setting plus a modern treatment. One movement contains a double canon in double counterpoint. Mr. Harrison is the director of the Harrison Musical Studios, composers and publishers, 622-25 A. Broad St., Philadelphia. 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 Teapot 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. prise on the boycotters by requesting the Inding Government to complete the committee representing both sidesailing on the Council of States to elect its queens and by itself appointing additional members to stop the Swarajas or Indian Muses Rakhan who also are, the boycott party, and have historically protested against what they describe as an effacement against the dignity of Parliament. At a recent gathering at Jawahar they produced an alternative outline known as the Indian prayer for an Indian boycott against the committee. For our part, we do not very much care what Hannah and Tweed did fifty years ago. Nor do the malefactions of the Ohio gang give us sleepless nights. Decelvers 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 Bleasees and the Heilins. But, this apart, K cannot be denied that the record of Tammany in New York, as concernna 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 $2,750 per annum. Negroes will always be pander this way they pour the persecutors of slavery Dismonded in their hearts. GOVERNOR SMITH HITS BIGOTRY AND INTOLERANCE IN OKLAHOMA SPEECH THE epithet "Tammany" in this campaign is employed by two sorts of people. By those who do not know the facts of Gov. Smith's career and by those who do know them. (Extract from Speech Deliveries "Now I feel that I owe it to the Democratic Party to talk out plainly. If I listened to the counselors that advise political expedi- ency I would probably keep quiet, but I am not by nature a quiet man. (Counselor). I have never kept anything to myself. I have talked it out; and I feel that I owe it not only to the party but I sincerely believe that I owe it to the country itself to drag this un- American propaganda out into the open, because this country, to my way of thinking, cannot be successful if it ever divides on sectarian lines. (Applause.) Those who do not know the facts are also of two sorts. These are the persons who honestly believe that Tammany today is the Tammany of Tweed and Croker. They believe it lives chiefly by collecting graft from prostitution. They are exactly as well informed as the backwoods Republicans who still believe that the Democracy is the party of Jefferson Davis and that the Republicans are the party of Gen. Sherman and the carpet-baggers. The second class of those who are uninformed consists of men and women who are the bigoted. When they say Tammany they really mean the newer immigrant stocks organized politically by Roman Catholics from Ireland. The word Tammany for them is simply a safer form of Ku Kluckery. Among those who know the facts about Tammany today and about Gov. Smith's career and shout "Tammany" there are also two classes: the snobs and the deliberate falsifiers. The snobs are those who do not think that Gov. Smith and Mrs. Smith have the social graces which their elegant tastes call for. Much more important are the deliberate falsifiers. We mean those New York Republicans who know the facts and continue to misrepresent them. "It never can be successful if any considerable number of people are going to listen to appeals to their passions and to their prejudices; their bigotry and intolerance; and if the slater vices that go with it are to succeed it is dangerous for the future life of the Republic, and the best way to kill anything American is to drag it out in the open, because anything un-American cannot live. In the sunlight. (Applause.)" They profess to fear Tammany's control of the Federal Government. Yet they know that Tammany has not controlled the Government at Albany during Gov. Smith's four terms. The proof of this is overwhelming. Tammany has not controlled his State appointments. Tammany has had the patronage of local offices in the City of New York exactly as Sam Koenig has had the Republican Federal patronage in the City of New York. But in the State Government Tammany has not had even its proportionate share of the desirable offices. "Where does all this propaganda come from? Who is paying for its distribution? One of the women leaders of North Carolina was talking to me about two weeks ago and she said, 'Governor, I have some notion about the cost of distributing election material.' She said, The amount of it that has come into our State couldn't be printed and distributed for less than $1,000,000. Where is the money coming from?" "I think we got the answer the other day when the woman went into the National Committee in Washington and meekly walked up to the man in charge and said, I want some literature on Governor Smith. I want the nonpolitical kind; and he brought her down- Liberia's rubber plantations, far away on the tropic coast of Africa, dominated—the closing days of the Williamstown Institute of Politics, Raymond Leslie Buell, research director of the Foreign Policy Association, repeated the story which he told in The Nation for May 2. Following Mr. Hoover's screams about the British rubber monopoly, he said, Harvary Firestones and his associates planned a rubber empire in the little Negro republic, and the State Department applauded. Jr. Acting Secretary of State, promptly came forward with a "dental" which abundantly substantiated Mr. Buell's essential charges. Liberia is today an American colony. The revenues of the Government can be extended only in accordance with a budget drawn up by a financial servicer designated by the President of the United States. New Lawman bureaucrats, pleased with the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, stalks and put her over in an automobile and took her over to an office where a paper is published called Fellowship Forum, which for a number of years has been engaged in a senseless, foolish, stupid attack upon the Catholic Church and members of the faith. "Tribute to the Convention the Grand Dragon of the Realm of Arkansas," the Grand Dragon Conna, he wrote to one of the delegates from Arkansas, and in the letter he advised the delegate that he not vote for me in the National Convention, and he did it on the ground of upholding American ideals and institutions an established by our forefathers. Now, you can think of any man or group of men gathered together in what they call the Ku Klux Klan that professes to be 100 per cent Americans, and forget the great principles that Jefferson stood for the equality of man, and forget that our forefathers in their wisdom, foreseeing probably such a sight as we look at today, that at no time was religion to be regarded as a qualification for public office. "Just think of a man breathing the spirit of hatred against millions of his fellow citizens proclaiming himself to be an American and subscribing himself to the doctrine of Jefferson, of Lincoln, of Roosevelt and of Wilson. "There is no greater mockery in this world today than the burning of the cross, the emblem of Christ, the emblem of salvation, the place upon which Christ Himself made the great sacrifice for all mankind, and at the same time breathing hatred (cries from audience), while the Christ that they profess to adore, love and venerate, during all of His lifetime on earth taught the holy sacred creed of botherly love." Americans, at a cost of 24.8 per cent, are compelled with 4.5 per cent in the neighbouring British colony or centre Leone. Firestones has taken over a million acres of land—4 per cent of the entire territory of this jungle country—for his plantations, and is recruiting a labor army on territie which, while comparing favorably with those used on some other African colonies, still constitute, as Mr. Buell says, "virtual slave labor." While enlightened British and French colonial administrations are seeking to build up a native modern farm system, the United States throws its influence in behalf of the murderous plantation system which has reined the Congo. We hope that the retiring Castle will lease more The Nation. That the Statesmen Withhold From Them-Black Africa Is in Rebellion Against Oppressors (Continued from page 2) that they can sign a bit of paper and all these black people will remain quiet for eternity. They are crazy. Representing Black Race I am here representing 400,000,000 black men who are peacefully serious; in that we intend to adopt different men to achieve our ends have adopted. You have adopted shot and shell—brute force—to attaill all that you have accomplished; and when a summary is to be taken and when a judgment is to be passed, Englishmen, I hope you will so act in the twentieth century that the crime of the past will not stand against you. You believe in a God and you say He is to be the final judge of all men. Do you desire your God to judge you by your brute force, by your shot and shell, by your battleships and your dreadnoughts, and by your aeroplanes, and the crimes you have committed, or by the kindness of your souls? You taught us about the God that we worship today. We had a different notion of God in the earlier centuries; it was the same Being only we worshiped Him through objects we selected; and then you came and you said: No, must worship Him and not in truth accept your philosophy of God; we believe in Him; we believe he is the God of love, of mercy, of justice. We have adopted that fine philosophy of approaching Him and all things human through reason, through judgment, and through brotherly and fatherly love. That is why I am here this afternoon not as an admiral, not as a general of the army—we could have been—but as a fellow human being appealing to your reason and to your humanity and to your love of God, truth and justice. We four hundred million black people desire, late though it be, to restore ourselves to the company of nations, with honor, so that we may show the way to the real peace about which these commercial statesmen are talking today, but do not mean, except to the extent of more oil monopolies, more diamond monopolies, more rubbish concessions, more disarming of the weaker peoples whose lands are so valuable as to supply them, the monopolists, with the resources and wealth that they need. Mc. Kellogg From America Mr. Kellogg came from America to hand in his suggestion about outlawing war. Yet America today is doing—what? America is doing the very thing that fomentes war. What America would not dare do to a powerful empire like Britain, what America would not dare do to a powerful nation like France, what America would not dare do to a powerful nation like Italy—partners in signing this Peace Pacet—America, without any reserve, does to Nicaragua and does to Haiti. How proposterous, therefore, for intelligent men to think that there can be any seriousness in disguising peace. One of the principal agents for bringing about peace is doing the very thing that is the principal ageney for provoking war. That is not only so of America; it is so of all the great powers. Conduct of Empire I need not bring to you any information about the conduct of our own empire because as Englishmen you know as much as I do, and probably more than I do, about the attitude of the whole Government towards the subject peoples in Africa and in India. We are not all asleep. It is not because we have not statemen as able as yours. You have not read our sentiments in your daily papers; and we have not reached the point yet where you will come in daily contact with that sentiment and with that expression; but the future will bring it to you. We want it to come to you without any surprise, and it is because of pure you now to realize that the whole world is not so beautiful, not so ignorant, and not so much asleep as to think and everything is well and will remain still being in fact the largest number of people in struggling, struggling knowledge, in a textile condition that you would not the great degree or sign to be in. These were a great howl in England and show the importance of the people. If you want to see the people are affected of the war they gave up to help us in the war, and the consequences. few capitalists can continue to grind the last bit of blood and the last drop of blood out of other human beings. Do you think that that contributes to an order whereby we can all feel happy? Impossible. And I represent this afternoon a large group of unhappy people who have not spoken yet. I lived in America for 14 years and became the head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which seeks for the higher development of the black race universally. Because I was elected to the position I had to fill it. I had to speak not only my sentiments but the sentiments of the organization, the sentiments of the people behind the organization. As I spoke it in America, so I am speaking: it here this afternoon. Speaking for a Dissatisfied People I have personal views of my own—views of fellowship, view of Christian brotherhood with everyone, and I have no enemy in the world. Whether a man be white, yellow, brown or black, if I know nothing about him to the contrary I think of him as a Christian brother and I treat him as such. I therefore do not want you to think that I am expressing my own personal opinion; I am expressing the opinion of 11,000,000, aggrieved. No gross, I being only one of the 11 millions. The 11 millions represent 400 millions. When I talk I am not talking for myself, I am talking for those millions of dissatisfied people. In the people of the great grotto, I know every thing in every form and every action of the world. If you go to the West Indies you will see them; if you go to Central America you will see them struggling under the burden of the day; if you go to South America you will see them smarting under the burden of Mr. Hartzog, a man without a soul where the native is concerned; if you go to West Africa you will see them struggling to free themselves and to be men; if you go to America you will see them lonesome and burnt by the power of the sun. But, under the difficult diplomacy of these who do not desire to see them really free men and whose motives and efforts are directed towards keeping them safe and slaves rather than seeing them develop and becoming a free and independent people as they ought to be, they are being inflexionated. These are the people I represent. Those are the people who give me an expression, and so long as these people remain in such a terrible condition as human beings so long will I find causes to go throughout the length and breadth of the world, whether it be in America or in Great Britain or any part of the European Continent, to let humanity know the truth. 8poke Truth in America Spoken Truth in America I appointe this truth in America for 15 years, as I have said, and all those who were humiliated to the interests of Nero progress could do what I determine me and imitate and imitate nearly two years and 10 months, thinking that that would be a deterrent not only to my expressions on behalf of the Negroes but that it would be a means of scaring Negroes from continuing the agitation for freedom. Fools that they are, who know not that prison bars cannot deaden or kill the souls and minds of men; fools that they are, who do not realize that there is no power on earth to suppress the hopes of men. They may imprison men by the million, they may execute them by the thousand—as they, did to you before you became a free people, as they have done to the Continental nation which have risen through the barbarian wars, but they cannot stop the machine of progress because that is evolutionary. The men are in a state similar to yours when you were shaves of another people. You know your history, as Englishmen, too well not to appreciate the stand we take today in working towards the freedom of our country. Africa. The History of Slavery In a previous speech at the Albert HILL tried to impress you with the history of alvarity: how your people took note from their heritage to advance to the warring lands of our world and help them to keep their youth not only safe but healthy always but hard and strong to overcome obstacles in the war. To the thoughtful mind, to the sober intellect, the whole thing (the Kellogg peace act) appears no hypocritical and false that I wonder really what is coming to the world. How in the name of goodness intelligent men who claim to be leaders of great groups can imagine that they can just, by signing a bit of paper and making a few statements, put to rest the hopes of millions of down-trodden and oppressed people, is something marvellous. The black man is in a state similar to yours when you were slaves of another people. You know your history, as Englishmen, too well not to appreciate the stand we take today in working towards the freedom of our country, Africa. Some colonist interested in Africa had the nerve to tell me the other day that if it were not for the white people the Negroes would have died years ago in Africa. Today we have at least 200,000,000 people in Africa? Who preserved them until the white man came? That kind of diplomacy is played out and looks foolish to the new thought that permeates the Negro. I believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost; I endorse the Nicene Creed; I believe that Jesus died for me; I believe that God lives for me as for all men; and no condition you can impose on me by deceiving me about Christianity will cause me to doubt Jesus Christ and to doubt God. We want you English men and English women to know that the people of India have souls like you; we want you to know that the people of Africa have souls like you; they have passions like you; they are human beings who must live like you. You have made me by compulsion a British subject, when by election I would be an African citizen. I hope to approach our government in a short while to lay before them certain facts upon which I am endeavoring to enlighten you. I have not approached them yet because I want to test out your sentiment; because I know the government will do nothing except it is with your approval. Do not forget that the Negro is the greatest diplomat the world has ever seen. Had it not been for our diplomacy we should not have survived, but should have died, like the North American Indian. Black men are not going to cringe before anyone but God. Black men have learnt the value of life, the value of self-respect, like white men. We realize you are men like ourselves and we are men like you. We intend to give you a man's share, and we demand the same from you. God intended us to have different outlooks from the social and political points of view; that is why geographically he suited you for Europe and suited you for Africa. to you at these public meetings, to speak to you by other approaches, I have done; to gather your opinion and sentiment touching not only your future but the future of the darker peoples whom you dominate. It is pleasant for me to state that I have some very good responses from some of the most representative men in the country, men with roots. Not all of your representatives are heartless; some of your men known in public life sympathize, with the condition of black men in Africa, the West Indies and America. Those are the men who really save your civilization; those are the men who really make history better for those of you who have no hearts and those of you who will not think. Because those of you who will not think are equally responsible with those of you, who have no heart and not without a heart, because they think unkindly of you, for when you do not instruct your representatives to think and act in the way they should we think unkindly, not one of them, but also of you. So we are glad there is a softening of feeling when we can find men and women in England who are sympathetic and responsive to the call of others of the human family for help so that they also may enjoy the benefits of the creation which was given to us by God in common. Otherwise your history in contact with other peoples would be a terrible one. The Inavitable Cycle The inevitable Cycle Do not you ever make the mistake, nglishmêh and women, that you are always to have the last word in civilisation and in the world. There were other peoples before you. There were black people. Who gave the first civilisation? The black people of Africa. They came before you. They had a wonderful civilisation on the banks of the Nile. When the Blue Nile and the White Nile were dotted by universities by the highest development in art, when Africa right across to Timbuctoo, represented the finest culture the world ever saw, your astronauts were living in caves, were living in holes, were savages, were meant with in Continental Europe. The black man passed out of power, giving it to the brown race; the brown race, the Indians, passed it to the Pers ians and the Chinese, and they it turn, through the same process of evolution, passed it on to you. The same cycle is going on, and, whether you will it or not with your battleships and your dreadnoughten, it will grow back to another condition. You cannot have it it is the true of a future, it is the future of God. Your smile and your cheer and your high and plain cheer. The longer or the less people the Negroes would have died years ago in East Africa. (Laughter) Sentimentally the thing would appeal to the man who does not think. But how foolish it is for a man to make such a statement when, without the white man, the Negro lived by himself in Africa and to-day we have at least 200,000,000 people in Africa. Who preserved them until the white man come? Not he is telling us that the black people cannot live in East Africa without the white people. That kind of diplomacy is played out and looks foolish to the new thought that permeates the Negro. There is nothing you can tell the black man that he doesn't know. It is true we have to listen to what you say, but it does not mean that we entirely believe it. You are capable of making any statements you like; your statement can make them; but it does not follow that we are to accept them. It is true that our self-expression becomes our identity, express our feelings and opinion in the matter. It expresses yours. That is why you are in such a peculiar state, because you are hearing only your opinion, one side only—you are knowing only your side; you are not hearing the opinion of the people on the other side and you do not know what they are thinking about. I am here to tell you what we are thinking about. We are thinking about your rights as human beings, and we are liberal in doing that. We realize that all human beings are entitled to certain rights, and there are no rights peculiar to the white man which we desire to invade. We feel that the white man has certain rights that are natural, that are moral, that are legal, and we would be as ready and as quick as himself to defend him and those rights as he would. If you doubt me, I bring up the history of the wars in which we have fought for you. Did you think you could buy us to fight for you in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries? Do you think you could pay us to fight for you? No, you could not. But when you made your statement and your appeal for help, when you bared that statement and the appeal on the larger democracy and humanity, as Woodrow Wilson did in the last war, the protection of the weaker peoples, that appeal touched our hearts and, without any other way, without any beggars or help we voluntarily came to your aid in the last will two millions of us and we thought this bloodshed in Mesopotamia we thought this and days in East Asia. We thought this completed with us the major battle you were here to talk with you a little more, and to see what we were working with. We were working with you will go on next week. Implement and we after a while you will day a discouragement for every black man to come to England and the British laws." You said to us in Continental Europe, "There is no room in Europe for the black man except continually to use him as a soldier in the Rhino- land to protect France." Accused in Germany When I was accused in Germany of helping to defeat Germany and therefore encouraged the family of Germany towards the blacks, I felt ashamed that the German should accuse me of jealying my home in the West Indies and Africa and America to come into Europe to kill him when he did not interfere with me as far as that was concerned. I felt ashamed, and I had to hang my head. But I was doing the best I could to help one whom I trusted—the Allies. And while the German now hates me because I helped to detain him, the friend for whom I fought, causing me to offend the Germans, leaves me in the cold, and therefore I am still more friendless. I have two enemies now instead of a friend. Is it not a peculiar state to be in? Englishmen, that is the position. We feel very unpleasant about it, and we do not feel happy having it all pent up in our minds. That is why we want you to know about it—quite inoffensively. I hope you will not take anything I have said this afternoon as an offence. God forbid. The truth should offend no man except the villain and the vagabond. You are all Christian people and cannot be offended by what I have said: Should a Foreign Fee Invade? Should a Foreign Foe invade? Now, you English people, how would you feel if a foreign race, not like youra, should come in here and take everything you have—take away your Parliament, take away your West-minster Abbey, take away your University of London, your St Paul's, your museums, your art galleries, take away all your great industries, take away your land, take charge of you, take your shoes off your feet, take your good clothes off your backs, and give you rags to wear and place heavy load upon your, shoulders by way of every-day labor so that you can work for them? How would you like that? Would you like that? I want an answer from you—would you like that? that? I want an answer from you—would you like that? that? I want an answer from you—would you like that? (Repeated laugurter) I am sorry to be embarrassing, but it seems like you would like it. If you would like it, my appeal falls flat because you agree that some one else should do that. But I do not believe that your silence means agreement. You could not agree with a condition like that. But that is what you are doing to us in Africa. You have come into our homes, deserved us in every way under the guise of Christianity—but do not you ever believe that I am not a Christian. I believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost; I endorse the Nicene Creed; I believe that Jesus died for me; I believe that God liven for me as for all men; and no condition you can impose on me by deceiving me about Christianity will cause me to doubt Jesus Christ and to doubt God. I shall never hold Christ or God responsible for the commercialization of Christianity by the heartless men who adopt it as the easiest means of fooling and robbing other people out of their land and country. If I indicted Christianity your bishops would stand aphelia. If I told you the history of the London Missionary Society which is followed by the commercial agent and the soldier, you would really try to ask God for pardon for the things that have been done to the poor, defenseless heathens in the name of Christianity. Record of Christianity Among the Blacks Have you stopped, Englishmen, to read the record of your Christian penetration of the East and the result of it? I want to set you thinking. You Englishmen and women, because I believe the majority of you are good at heart and you do not know, and that is why you smile complisantly on things. They happen today. Go to your library and read the history of Christianity in the lands of the heathens, and compare those lands today and the condition of the peoples there in the twentieth century with the period prior to the advent of Christianity. Practically every African will tell you today that prior to the advent of Christianity he had his own land, he owned it, he lived on it, but today, because of Christianity, it is not his, it is the Lord's. (Laughter). What a twenty-eight-century land that is to adopt such methods is taking away the property of other peoples. Now, you know, there is no Lord here that. And because there is that, because of an in-force change in the land, and that tail type or race and group of people, and without them there is no consideration for the rest of humanity. That is not fair. Yet we have the Pope and we have the Archbishop of Canterbury (the two primary representatives of Christianity. How do they think they have impressed us who have learnt to think? How do they think we compare their philosophy with human reason? (In a话: They think we have impressed us in a ridiculous. And because they have spoken of themselves and we have not spoken, they think it is all right. Now we have started to, speak, and I am only the forerunner of an awakened Africa that shall never go back to sleep. No Egmantor of Trouble: No Permanent of Trouble I am appealing to you for a large sympathy. Do not misunderstand me Englishmen and Englishwomen; I am not for misunderstanding trouble. I love myself for too many advantages and disturbance that would make humanity unhappy. I am the head of a great organization, and, knowing what order is; sometimes I am in the midst of 25,000 people in a convention, and as the head of a strong organization I must have order and discipline. Do not interpret anything I say as a suggestion of any kind of disorder among black or white. It is only an effort to present the truth, because it is only by this truth that we can have everlasting and eternal peace. We want you Englishmen and Englishwomen to know that the people of India have souls like you; we want you to know that the people of Africa have souls like you; they have passions like you; they have human beings who must live like you; they must have the same attitudions like you; they must live in good homes to be able to preserve their bodies in a sanitary state; they must have good food to order in health; they must have physical strength; they must have advantages and opportunities that can be made possible. of Englishmen and women so that those who are innocent and know not what is being done in them may easily understand and reach the point where their influence is doing justice is done to the dever peoples of the world. I have not yet approached your government and my government, because you have made me by compulsion a British subject, when by election I would be an African citizen—your government is my government. I would to approach our government in a short while to lay before them certain facts upon which I am endeavoring to enlighten you. I have not approached them yet because I want to test out your sentiment; because I know the government will do nothing except it with your approval. Therefore, it is better judgment and good sense to out how you feel first before going to your executives, who represent you in government, so as to know what will be the future of you in the Western world. You Anglo-Saxon who have become the Americans of today across the Atlantic, took us into slavery after it was introduced by the Portuguese under the influence of Pope Nicholas V, and took us to America and kept us there as slaves; though you worked us to death 4,000,000 survived and in 2004 we have grown to 15,000,000; and now in America white statesmanship is deviling ways and means by which they can, by economic starvation in 50 years, that they will have no more Negro problem. In the last six years they have had enough immigration from the European countries to be able to do without the blacks who have brought America up to where she is today. See how ungrateful a certain branch of your race is, after using us for 250 years as slaves and for 50 years as slaves and serfs, to the white population in America sufficiently. In the future of America without the black man, they have evolved a system of economic pressure so that the Negro cannot earn money to pay the high cost of living, and it is only a question of 50 or 200 years before voluntarily the Negro, by means of economic starvation, will die out in America and there will be no more Negro problem to contend the white man who wants to make America a white man's country. That is the silent method of men like Kellogg; men without rights where struggling humanity is concerned; men who think they have the last word in intelligence and can feel everyone. The Negro A Diplomat Do not forget that the Negro is the greatest diplomat the world has ever seen. It may be immodest for me to say, so, but if it had not been for our diplomacy we should not have survived, but should have did like the North American Indian. You are dealing with a people who were the first teachers of diplomacy, because we were the first teachers of civilization. We have not lost all our virtues, although we have stoned on them for a long while, but that does not mean our intellect is still only resting. Today our intellect is still more resting and that is why I say you cannot pull leg of a half-dead cow with impunity, it may develop into a healthy heifer later if it gets the right kind of pasture; and although you may look upon the black man as insignificant, you do not know what is in the Negro's mind. Why, we have the same playground for science as any other race. Do you know that we can also be as scientific as any other race? Do you know that there are mysteries hidden in Africa that have not been unearthed for the last 5,000 years because the time has not come yet? You know that there are more of the things we have done in Africa have been to Luzor to dig up Tukunahkem's tomb, and so on. When you and these stars of civilization you are artful enough to say they ' belonged to a different branch of the human race.' Yet you have not been skilled enough, when you say that, to prevail it. The features of the people make them nothing else but thick men. of the continent, we could produce our originals also. It is my contention that our proper place is Africa. Even genius needs the given opportunity to assert itself. It is a historical fact that cannot be contradicted that there is such a think as the arrested development of an individual, or even a people. Intellectually, we are not sufficiently thrown upon ourselves. All the knowledge we get is drawn from white sources. We are not looked upon to supply anything, and we do not supply anything. In the final reckoning, it would not be the quantity of doctors that we produce that will count, but the quality. When Kelly Miller penned his list of eminent Negroes, he had this to say: "it is true that no one of them reaches the first, or even the second degree of luster in the galaxy of the world's greatness." And feeling that something more should be said, he offers this explanation: "The competing number has been so insignificant and the social atmosphere has been so repressive to their budding aspirations, that it would be little short of a miracle of genius if any member of this race had reached the highest degree of glory." I say, let the atmosphere be never so conducive to our intellectual development, we cannot give to the world an African Culture from the American continent. To be original in our ideals and ideas, we must have different surroundings. All of our conceptions are judged by the standard that is laid down for us by white people. To use a school boy's expression, "We are fired of cribbing." If it is true that history repeats itself, some part of Africa may one day again become the center of learning. And this time it may be wholly under Negro rule. With an intelligent social government, there will be a class devoted to the promotion of the arts and sciences. Then we will be able to boost of an African culture. Living then under our own vine and fruit, our own political bosses, evolving a Democracy that has not been seen since the days of Greece. Respecting the equal rights of the individual before our courts, knowing nothing about the distinction of color, creed or nationality. Building a civilization on the principle of equal opportunity to all. With one standard of morality for man and woman. Leaving the individual free to worship in his own fashion, according to the dictates of his reason. And last, but not least, government ownership and distribution of public utilities. Sounds like socialism? Well, what then? Let us not be fooled. The lands of Africa are not easily gotten. Let us see how Africa is divided amongst the powers of Europe. This continent Negroes of the western world despise. "I have lost nothing in Africa," says an American Negro. This statement, coming as it does from a Negro, not only shows a profound ignorance of the spirit of the age, but it carries with it the very hall-marque of the inferiority complex also. All the oppressed peoples of the world today are saying: "It is better to reign in hell than serve in heaven." But we will leave this lone Negro, satisfied with himself, that he, too, may vote for a Republican or Democrat as he told. In the meantime Bolemum, a no-rate power in Europe with a population of 75 millions, is responsible for territory in Africa 35 times larger than herself. France is responsible for territory in Africa one-third as large as Europe! Our true history reopens, mark, I say, reopens, when we restore a kingdom in Africa. Special Notice to Readers and Agents You are hereby informed that all divisions and agents who have failed to make regular weekly payments for the Negro World each week since December 1, 1927, and who are in arrears, therefore, will not be supplied with any more papers unless your remittance reaches the office of the Agency Department of the Negro World not later than 12 o'clock every Monday morning. My order of the Business Manager of the Negro World. BRISSELS. - At the present rate of increase in the diamond, production of Belgian Congo, the South African diamond fields may soon lose their monopoly of the world market. The Belgian Congo, especially the Kasai district, has become, since the war, a most serious competitor. In 1912 the output of the Kasai prines hardly totaled 15,000 carats. Ten years later the output reached 415,000 carats. In 1922 the production towed 543,600 carats; in 1925, 886,000, and in 1926 the million mark was surpassed with an output of 1,108,000 carats. This already represents one-fifth of the total world's production. These results have been achieved mainly by means of the modernization of the plants. The pick and other primitive instruments are gradually methodically being supervised by excavators, steam trommels and washing machines of the latest type. This policy, coupled with the systematic buffling of 4,000 miles of road, a seventy-mile narrow gauge railway, and the use of motor tractors, is steadily reducing the proportion of native labor, which has to be imported from neighboring districts as compared with the output. Last year 25,835 workers produced roughly 1,200,000 carats, as against 548,000 carats produced during 1924 by 20,652 workers. So much for machinery. The Kaisal diamonds, like all allylian diamonds, discovered so far, are of small size and in this respect the South African fields yielding larger stones still retain an unnatural position. Big stones are discovered frequently in the South African diamond fields. One of the biggest stones dig are recently wolled 412 centals and was sold at Kimberly for $2,500. It is the first time that a stone of such dimensions has been found in alluvium diamond fields, and it is the most important find for a number of years. This particular stone was sold by the London syndicate to an African diamond cutter, L Goldberg, who has acquired the oblique work of cuttin it. When it comes back on the market, it will certainly bring a price of at least $50,000. The whole of the Kasal mines are worked in width and no far no shrift or underground gallery has been built. Must applicants of this state are awarded of the title that a literacy test is required of voters, but it is not generally required that a woman of woman (except those who were qualified to vote before January 1, 1923) can legally have their names inscribed upon the registration books unless they have shown the election officials a recognized certificate establishing the fact that they are literate. The state accepts, as constituting proof that a prospective voter can read and write English, "a certificate or diploma showing that he has computed the work of an approved sixth grade elementary school or of a higher school in which English is the language of instruction." But. If the would-be new voter cannot produce such a paper he must be in the legal视力 one of the public schools where the literacy examination are held and secure the certificate of literacy granted upon qualification by the Regents of the university of the State of New York. Establishing the voters' literacy qualification was originally a function of the boards of election; that method, however, was found not to work satisfactorily and the duty has been entrusted to the school system under the rules and regulations of the Regents. Examinations Held in Schools. The examinations are held between 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. on the six regular registration days in October in the public schools. The schools in which the New York City examinations will be held this year already have been designated. New voters who can show the examiners valid credentials of any sort proving that they have completed the sixth grade in a public or private school are granted the certificate at once without test. Those who have nothing of the kind to show are required to take a written examination. They are given a paper containing first a paragraph of simple English and then eight questions, with dotted lines upon which the answers are to be written. The answers must be taken from the paragraph first given. The completed paper indicates that the candidate has been able to read the paragraph and can write at least well enough to put down his answers. John D. Moffet, director of evening and continuation schools of the Board of Education, who has immediate charge of the literacy tests in this class, explained yesterday, that they really amount to a kind of simple intelligence test. Fourth Grade Pupils Pass Test The paragraphs at the head of the papers are prepared by pedagogical students in the universities by the state, and then tried out upon school children in order to select the paraphrase which a fourth grade pupil can read and understand and not only understand but also be accurately answered by how many of the eight-city he correctly answered by a fourth grade pupil. If an otherwise qualified person desirous of exercising the writing franchise in the State of New York can read the paragraph and answer an many of the questions as a pupil in the fourth grade of a public school, he is granted his certificate of Literacy. If he fails to do so, he may try a second time on a subsequent registration day. He will not, however, receive the same examination. In all, twelve of the fourteen pupils each year and two are, used upon each of the six registration days. Text of Questions Assean example, one of the examination papers used before the 1858 election is given as follows: BEGINNING LABORACY GUIDE Wash hands thoroughly with soap and ammonia. Need to be in many times of time. Wash hands twice. many people have cold swabs which people to well people by carers or caregivers. people to well people by carers or caregivers. covered with a ocean handkerchief. Colds are easily spread in crowded places. Washing hands regularly. Colds. Everyone should be careful to keep hands clean. Food should be kept covered. Careful in their movements. help to wash hands regularly. time and money. The election laws specify that the Regents certificate shall be received by election officials as "conclusive" of the fact or literacy, but the question of the geniusness of the, the certificate and the Identity of the voter is left to the Boards of Election or inspectors because the certificate is unable to write his name upon the register or poll book it is to be regarded as conclusive proof of his literacy, no matter what certificates he produces. IN, however, a person is unable to write because of some minor physical disability, such as blindness or the loss of his hands and so on. Full letter section does not apply. The written notice also have been known however, to help the text of writing the same original person who might not be worthy of notice. There is nothing in the position held for him, the example, or the blindness person, so quoted here, to impress him. The impression person has to properly impress himself and the position held for him. I have nothing to be ashamed of. I surely will not be ashamed of my life and that means the same. I am in a kind that the group I am in is looking for social equality. We are not social and social equality with ourselves; but we look for social freedom from everyone and we will return it to them. But we do not want to take charge of your social life and to embarrass you in your social life if you feel like being among yourselves. We are too proud to embarrass anyone but ourselves. So we want you to understand that the time is now to be more serious in our thoughts about each other because some of you while men think we are amignee they have given you pictures to look at to make us look like wild animals; they give you pictures of us with rings through our noses, big mouths, and ugly features, and they say, "That is a black man," so that when a child sees a black man in a subway station he shows: "Mamma, Mamma, Jook, black man" (indicating). (Laughter). But that is the wrong kind of education; because black men have the future in their work, and when you grow up with get your notions and the state you may get your notions and the state you may be forced to think that the black man is not to be considered; and when they come out in their khakhi uniforms they look as cooksain of Mahajmah of Myrese (thoughter)—and when we approach them they want us to take off our hats and to bow and cringe before them. That kind of attitude is of the past. Black men are not going to grieve before anyone but God. Black men have learnt the value of life, the value of self-respect, like white men. We realize that you are men like us. We intend to give you a man's share, and we demand the same from you. It is a 50-50 proposition. There is nothing in England that we black people want but to see you English people proper and continue, until God calls you a happy people within the British Ideal, and we want to be left alone in our own country. Africa is to develop as God and we ourselves see best. That is all we are asking for. If we like that there will not be any trouble. What We Want in England If we want anything in England we either gend over and get it or come over and get it. You come over to us and find out what we want and sell us what we want. If we have no coal, we buy coal from you, and so on. If we have not the materials with us and find out what we want from them you. But what we have got that you have not got you must buy from us, and not steal. What right have you to expect me to come across the street to your home or to your shop and buy milk and butter and ham and bacon and fat and oil and bread, and pay you, two wages, on others. If you want cloth and coat you come in my backyard and it do. Do you know what will happen to you? You will be caught one day. That is what happens to a thief who steals in the dark; and we are only saying to the white people of Europe: Do not be so continental as to imagine that the other people are still so blind as not to be able to see that they are being shuffled, and you adopt peculiar methods when you find native peoples advanced to the extent that they have representative men who can express the magnitudes of the masses; you have a peculiar method of diplomacy whereby you weave certain things around them to frame them up, to get them terminated in some way, so that you can do something to them and say, "He is a criminal; he has been to them; he cannot represent you." A GAME THAT DID NOT Work You tried that game with me, but I did not work with the Negroes. I went to prison because of the cunning and scandalous menace of down down politicians who would put Jesus Christ in fall for two voices. I can talk about American politics because I have lived in America for over 40 years and studied it from A to Z, can tell you of the damnable methods of American white politicians, the methods they will use to get into office. An American politician would sell his own family, he would sell the whole State, he would sell the name of Jesus Christ across the ballot box so that he could get into office. Because I represented an honorable moral movement where I would not pay politicians to keep me of the head they were able to imprison me; and especially because I was a British subject, it made it easier for them to dispose of me. They thought when they imprisoned me that they had finally disposed of me; but, fortunately for me, they have given our movement a momentum of 1,000 per cent, and today my move FAST LUCK DRAWING WHITE LOADSTONE It was to be said to you that you would be in the future. I think you will be good would have no bias you with good will; no ability to make, only with a feeling for you to know the worth. You have heard the use of the good own own when you must hear the idea side from the other people. You must hear India's side, you must hear Africa's side; and fortunately it is my good fortune now to speak for Africa, and I feel that at some other time you will hear from India. Let us have a better understanding to know each other better and I think we will have a better world. Not Englishman by Ross I am going to close in five minutes with this application. I am not an englishman by race. I am a British by nationality. Just as you are true to your Anglo-Saxon race and type—and you would be unworthy if you were not—so am I true to my African race and African type. Before you became Englishmen you were Anglo-Saxons by race. Before a man is born to a nation he is conceived to a race; so his nationality is only accident, whilst his race is positive. I am positively a Negro; there is no mistake about it. Not one drop of anybody else blood in my veins. If there were I would try to get rid of it by drawing it up. I would be positional that could be a 100 per cent of you as you are 100 per cent. Anglo-Saxon. I respect you for your purity of blood and you ought to respect me for my purity of blood. I warmed up to have different outlooks from the social and political points of view; that is why geographically he suited you for Europe and suited me for Africa. **Conditions in America** If you go to America you can hardly tell who is a Negro and who is not because you have half white Negroes, three-quarter white Negroes, one-fifth Negroes, one-eighth Negroes, one-tenth Negroes—you have a mixture there, all caused by the advantages you have taken of by being in union within the pale of your civilization. You call us, "colored people." Indeed, we are colored. The great trouble in America is to find out who is white. That is why the white Americans want to get rid of the black man so that it will not be a question of whether the nation will be a multinational black nation in America no better than France; the nations have got into trouble and cannot get out of it. You were sensible enough not to bring trouble home to England; that is why you are not interested, that is why you are not here to the number of 10,000 this afternoon. If I were in America I would be addressing 25,000 people, because there it is a real problem; it is a nightmare. Every white man in America goes to bed thinking that on the next day a Negro will be presided over the United States of America; and judging by the way the Negroes are running an independent ticket and getting against However, it is likely we will have a Negro President in America (counter). But in case the Negroes are unable to elect a President of their own, I am throwing my support for Alfred Smith. Do you know why I am for Smith against Hoover? It is because Smith is a man from the people. Smith is a man from the people. Smith is a man from the people. Smith is a man from the people. he knows their hearts and their heart beats and their pulse. Hoover has been, pampered by the monopolist class; he is himself a antiterrorist. A Baby in Your Home The Non-Residential Induction of a Fire Fire Prescription After Years of Fuel Disappointment THE CHILDREN'S HOME Hungrds at married women, children for years, suddenly find themselves in a state of the most blissful anulation due to the influence of a doctor's most wonderful prescription. Mrs. Annie M. Middleton, Glencove, N.Y., writes: "I know just what Dr. Elders' prescription can do, as I had longed for a baby, and two years ago I took a six-week treatment and now we have a new baby boy. He's eight-month-old. I haven't words to express how much this medicine has done for me." Every married couple who really want children should at least write to the doctor and get a fruitful of—this prescription, together with his individual book of instructions. For your contraindication, I will the season and meet in today. St. Joseph's Pure ASPIRIN AS Pure AS MONEY CAN BUY Honaire; he can only see American politics and American power from the capitalist point of view. You must have read of the great rubber combine in America—Honaire was one of the men responsible for sending me to prison because it was to America's interest, and not only that, but to the interest of certain American capitalists to have me imprisoned so that Hoover could back Firestone in Liberia in connection with the rubber lands, land which should have been disposed of to us by agreement with the Liberian Government. When Firestone found there was a possibility of a shortage of rubber in America and there was nohower where America could obtain rubber other than from England, sent their commercial investigators all over the world and they found that it was possible for rubber to be grown in Liberia. Then Hoover backed up Firestone to get the President of Liberia to give up the contract he had entered into with me so that the American Negroes could repatriate themselves and help build Liberia to be a permanent and peaceful home for a permanent and peaceful home not only to imprison me, but to follow from the Negroes a concession that been given to them and to give it to Soaring so that the natives of Liberia could be exploited for the benefit of American capital. Two years after Firestone went there he reduced the natives to virtual slavery; he got the Government to hire the natives to build roads to give access to his plantations; they had to work without proper provision for food and without pay. Hoover representatives in American life people that Through my organization it is my duty, before God and before man, to go to it that a man like that, if possible, is not returned as President of the United States, and a great country with such a great power that man does much good or ill. That is why I am for Smith, a man who would not tolerate such a method in politics; a man who has been fair and square in all his dealings as Governor of New York State. The Negroes of America can put their trust in him, and I hope he will be returned as President of the United States of America at the next election. In conclusion, God bless you English-speaking women. I trust that you will not fail to attend at anything I have told to you. What I have had live been said so that you may appoint a policy and attitude to me Negroes beyond what is being done for them today. I thank you, and God bless you. (Lend appliance.) If movies cause all the wickedness today, what caused it in the old days when there were no movies—indulgence Recorder. SEPTEMBER 26,1928 OPENING DATE SEPTEMBER 26,1928 UNIVERSAL LIBERTY UNIVERSITY Officers and Members of Divisions Should See to It That Their Divisions Are Represented by Sending at Least One Student Prohibition Not Good For Chinese People, Says General Chiang SHANGHAI—General Chiang Rai- chick, the boyish-looking general who led the southern forces from Canton to Shanghai and on to Poling, is a conservative revolutionist. He also has views on prohibition of alcoholic drinks. In an interview with the Associated Press he disclosed an unexpected familiarity with the ideas, customs and manners of the West, which have been forcing their way into Chinese life. He admits their value and power, but clings unwavingly to the customs and arts of his own country and in some instances presents the infusion of Western ideas. A captain and a non-amaker, General Chang is repelled by the American institution of prohibition. Indulgence or abstinence in regard to alcohol or tobacco is a question for each man to decide for himself. General Chang believes. Personally, he has decided for abstinence. But, he added, "I cannot be enthusiastic about your American prohibition, because it does not appear to me that the State can regulate every phase of the private life of an individual. "We are a nation of 'individualists, and do not easily give up our personal inclinations.' We also indicated a feeling that such interference is beneath the dignity of government. "There is so much for us to do that is elemental in the reconstruction of the country that we cannot afford time for what one must regard as secondary questions." 20 Conditions here are in a pretty bad state when a child, a tax payer, cannot feel safe on the street.

HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 20.—Yale University, through a representative of its Forestry School, is co-operate with the Firestone Plantations Company in an extended scientific investigation of the woods and forests of Liberia. G. Proctor Cooper, field assistant in tropical forestry at Yale, has left New Haven for Liberia to handle part of the work there. Present plans call for an investigation to cover a period of several months or a year. The work is to be done under the supervision and direction of Professor Samuel J. Record, head of tropical forestry work at Yale, but Mr. Cooper will be Yale's field representative. The jungle is being cleared to make room for rubber plantations, and it will be easy to obtain many samples of the woods, together with specimens of leaves, flowers, and fruits that will be necessary for the identification of the trees. It is planned to place this botanical material in medicinal prescriptions and in display over perennial shrubs on that island. It can be shipped to this country without being destroyed by the mold and decay of the metal troopers. Since there is no one in America who is familiar enough with African plants, Professor Records, who recently returned from England, made arrangements with the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew to have the specimens identified by exp. Pa. WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—The Radio Corporation of America received several wave bind privileges to open communication with Liberia following a hearing today before the Federal Radio Commission, at which it was stated that President King, of Liberia, had asked the State Department for improved radio facilities between the two countries. Colonel Manton Davie, appearing for the Radio Corporation, pointed out that Liberia was seeking a cleaning house for its international message traffic and that unless the United States acted to offer this service a European agency would be asked to set it up. Such a plan, the commission was told, would deprive this country of communication with Liberia. Plans for building the needed facilities will be started at once where they were left off last July when the commission indicated its disposition to disapprove the award of the short wave band for the Libertian channel. establece que la palabra de albergar en todas las pescas, y una huerfano de porquos, por ser pequeño el ejaculation que se brindan los que, como yo, tienen un corazón capaz de albergar las tus artes, todos los afectos por sus empleaciones.

Attitude to Porto Ricans Causes Professor's Misgivings Past G.O.P. Attitude to Porto Ricans Causes Professor's Misgivings WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—Herbert Hower's attitude toward Porto Rican affairs is touched upon in a letter addressed to the Republican National Committee by-Chancellor Thomas E. Benner, of the University of Porto Rica, who suggests that he would like to know how Mr. Hower would deal with the Porto Ricans before he feels free to commit himself in the present Presidential race. "I am a native of Massachusetts and have always been, by amitation, a Republican," Chancellor Benner wrote the committee. "My natural inclination and personal preference is to support Hower for the Presidency. "Unfortunately, however, during the four brief years of my service as Chancellor of this university, I have been forced to observe that the Republican Administration at Washington, as regards this island, whose citizens are citizens of the United States, does not regard these citizens my American interests. I have ample frequentity of American interests in Puerto Rico, with reference to the sugar and tobacco corporations. "To witness the indictment which have grown out of that impugnance to force one to ask oneself whether the same thing may not be true of the policy of the Republican Administration regarding public opinion in the continental United States."

The complainant was Dr. Alexander Garabedian, an Armenian, now without a country, but holding a so-called League of Nations identity card. Dr. Garabedian's charge, in brief, is that he was asked by Ras Taffaili to connive at the poisoning first of Ras Taffaili's mother-in-law, then on the Empress, a daughter of former Emperor Menelik. When he refused, he says, he was persecuted, exiled, imprisoned, broken in health and materially ruined, for all of which he claims damage of $120,000. Dr. Garabedian dites as witnesses the staff of the American Mission Hospital at Addis Abeba, and especially the English lawyer, T. R. S. Fraser, said to be a member of the American Association of International Law, who recently visited Abyssinia. Armenlan's Story Dr. Garabodian, after escaping from Abyssinia, arrived in Genova eighteen days ago. His story, which the correspondent has seen in writing and heard verbally, may be summarized as follows: His family was mmaacred by the Turks. He came to Europe, was graduated in midgale at Lausanne, served in the Lausanne Hospital, then in the French Hospital at Hergelgen, Asia Minor, and then in 1822 went to Addis Ababa to establish a practice among the large Greek and Armenian population there. Immediately he fell afoul of a rival Greek doctor, against whom he mutilated charges, but he persisted, was successful, and was treated politely by Ras Taffafi, eventually being murdered surgeon of the Monthly Trustee. But Ras Tafari, who on the death of Emperor Merkel in 1916 carefully asured the throne from, his cousin, Prince Yosefim, the emperor's grandson and rightful heir, decree, it is right to become emperor, but that two powerful oppoents, both women. They are his mother-in-law, who, also in Yosefim's sister, and the emperors Merkelin's daughter. Many rumors are current in Adda Abeda, according to Dr. Garabedian, about the strange ways in which people conjugated so the recent pine and clio.

The military servicemen in the company were taken by the Gambian forces. He commenced to batter the prisoner and in the same manner he should treat himself another percentage of the general household, this time the captive herself, holding out promises of favor and help, if he accepted. Dr. Gambaradje robbed led, he ensured, to a police plot engineered by the rival Greek doctor. Dr. Gambaradje, his kill with pliancy, the rival doctor forced his way into the house with a rattle of police, but without a warrant, and charged Dr. Gambaradje with selling cocaine to a native boy. A servant was dragged off to fall and an effort made to force him to testify against his master. Dr. Garabedian brought suit against the Greek doctor, employing an English lawyer, but before trial of the case Garabedian was ordered expelled from the country. The public took edes. Ras Tafarii commuted the order to six months of exile in a desert town, where Dr. Garabedian's health rapidly failed and he contracted tuberculosis. He was allowed to return to Addis Abba and closely intermed in a hospital, from which he was rescued by the English lawyer, Fraser. Now began, according to the story, a series of persecutions by the police and mobs. The doctor's house was surrounded, friends were forbidden to enter and he was forbidden to go out. He was left alone, helpless, in bed, without servants or food or medical care.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM To the Editor of The Negro World: As I hear and read continually of the proposed agreements of Nations to "quailw" war, using their way of expressing it, and thus establish peace forever among themselves, I begin to think of the attitudinousness of man when he is favored by Providence. This was the spirit of Nebuchadnezzar, the greatest autocrat that ever lived; his overthrow was attributed to vaunted pride, the result of unrestricted power and accumulated conditions. Yes, give man power and what will he do with it? Shipwreck himself. It indeed appears to be a tremendous undertaking on the part of man in his present condition? Jesus, when referring to this condition, sold that the hearts and灵命ments of men are deceitful show all things and desperately wicked! Then, why I ask, can ever believing peace be obtained on such a statement as coming from the mouth of Him who saith I searcheth the heart? International tregestes department, etc., etc., are all very good acts of good faith from a moral sense, but as coming from the heart, they are nothing except temper of paper. German autonomy proved that in the year 1911. God knows the conditions of this wicked world and of the heart of man that is fully set in him to do evil, both in His right and to one another. Tennessee Students Seek Interracial Understanding Maryville, Tenn., Sept. 21.—The East Fairground Student Interaction Commission composed of students from two white and two colored schools—Maryville College, the University of Tennessee, Knoxville College, and Morris- town College—is preparing to put on during the coming college year, the most effective program in its history. Regular monthly meetings will be held at which matters of interest and importance to the members will be spoken with, and efforts will be made also to work out an educational program that will read the entire student body of the several schools interested. Last year the commission, convinced that better transportation facilities should be provided for colored people in Tennessee, took the matter up with the general passenger attention of all the railroads operating in that state, requiring more consideration in the matter of waiting rooms, cars and conveniences. Courteous replies were re- school from all the goals, ensuring the commotion that earnest attention would be given to its request.

I opened a window just to see what the person was and find out if he was not an active member of the association. I sought an opportunity to question him later in the day and asked him why he was whistling the tune "Oh Africa, Awaken," "Well, alr," he declared, "the little book I bought from you has given me the spirit to sing this tune.

BK ROCKEFELLER BANK OPENS IN HARLEM; MANY DEPOSITORS NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Negroes of Harlem began to gather in front of the Dunbar National Bank, at Eighth Avenue and 189th Street, nearly two hours before it was to open its doors for the first time yesterday morning, and when Lieutenant John A. McDonald, of the 369th Infantry, National Guard, who in 4-6 feet 6 inches tall finally opened the doors, about fifty persons sought to be the first to open an account. It was estimated that 500 Negroes had visited the bank where it closed its first day of business at 10 o'clock last night. The bank was organized by John D. Rockefeller, and associates primarily for the use of Negroes, and, except for the officers, the entire personnel of the bank is made up of Negroes. According to Joseph D. Higginas, president of the bank, it was started in the hope that it would prove to be a beneficial solution to the race problem in Harlem, where, he said, Negroes have always hesitated to do business with legitimate banks because, they felt that none were run primarily for them. The Dunbar Bank, he added, by organized especially for Negroes, although, being a national bank, it will accept accounts from any one. It will help defeat the loan shades and other financial persecutions in the district, Mr. Higginas said. The small lobby was pilled high with flowers, sent by most of the large banks in the city. Letters and telegraphs of congratulation were received from all over the country, and included messages from Alice Dunbar Nelson, after the Negro poet, Paul Dunbar, after whom the bank was named; the Dunbar National Bank, a similar institution in Chicago; the Interracial INSPIRATION So that she may develop race love and pride.

Louisville, tp New York to congratulate the officers of the Dunbar-Bank Rockefeller Jr. Chief Stockholder. Most of the stock in the institution is owned by Mr. Rockefeller and the directors. The bank is capitalized at $500,000, with $540,000 surplus and undivided profits. One of the directors is Roscoe C. Bruce, a Negro, and resident manager of the Dunbar Apartments, on the ground floor of which the bank is situated. Other members of the board are John D. Rockefeller 3d, Herbert L. Pratt, chairman of the Standard Oil Company of New York; Frank A. Dillingham, president of the South Porto Rice Sugar Company, and Robert C. Hill, chairman of the Consolidation Coal Company. The scale of salaries paid in the Dunbar-Bank is on the average slightly higher than that paid in other banks of a similar nature, Mr. Higgins explained, because the men who filled the positions have been even more carefully picked than usual, Mr. Higgins said that as vacancies occurred among the officers of the bank the positions would be filled as much as possible from the Negro personnel in the bank.
