The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Amphibian Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XXIV. No. 38 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1928 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES ON EVE OF RETURN TO THE NEW WORLD PRESIDENT-GENERAL OF THE U.N.I.A. SUMS UP HIS EUROPEAN IMPRESSIONS I trust that my visit to Europe has impressed each and every one of you with the seriousness of the present world situation affecting the Negro race. I have written many messages to you since my advent here, suggestive of many ideas that we probably would not have had but for the experiences I have gained during my stay in Europe. Be on Guard To sum up my impression in but a few words, the Negro race, not only as scattered units, but as a whole, must be on guard. Every unit of the race must be a soldier, holding his post, assuming full responsibility for his duty, so that the enemy forces operating against our common interest may not pass in the dead of the night. Like the sentry we must keep our post with careful vigil. The heart of the political world is dead. It can only be recharged with life by the united action of a determined people who will not allow their interests to be thwarted or their rights to be abused. If the Negro would adopt the attitude of aggressive determination in demanding his rights it is only a question of another short while when we should wrest our liberty from the selfish and hellish powers that be. The Negro forms one of the strongest groups of the human family at the present time; yet he does not know it. He is weakened by the corrupting forces around him, because they have skilfully calculated that by division they can successfully rule a race as potential as the black race. This is what I have discovered during my visit to Europe. A United Organization A united organization of Negroes can shake the pillars of the world, and this must be done within another five or ten years. Every unit of the black race must be brought together for action. We must individually and collectively ignore the persuasions and appeals and sug- Every Member of the Race Must Be on Guard; There Must Be a Full Sense of Individual Responsibility NOW IS THE TIME FOR AGGRESSIVE, UNITED ACTION The Heart of the Political World is Dead and Must Be Recharged with Life by a Determined Attitude on the Part of the Negro gestions of other peoples relative to their false interracial settlement, fellowship and compromises, because their effort is only another trick to perpetuate domination over the blacks. The blacks, while respecting the rights of all other races, must unite among themselves for their own protection, for their own good. No other leadership can successfully direct the Negro but his own, therefore, any newspaper sentiment or pulpit oratory that seeks still to keep the Negro a part of the activities of the other races is but a sinister scheme to divide us and prevent us as a race from enjoying those human rights to which we are fully entitled. Real Determination I am returning to headquarters with a determination that I never had before. I am returning with a Bismarckian determination to weld together not the scattered Prussian States, but the scattered groups of Negroes everywhere for united action. I have no apology to make for this determination. It is the right of the Negro to do this, and by the Gods that be we shall do it. The compromising talk of the past is all tommy-rot. There can be no progress OOVER IS A VOTE A for the Negro except that which is engineered by himself. He must be his own master, he must be his own ruler, he must be his own legislator; he must be his own leader in religion, in art, in literature and in every branch of science; he must not obligate himself to any race or people except in co-operation for the common good of humanity. The Negro must depend upon himself; if not, he hasn't another one hundred years to live, because the soulless and conscienceless world around is organizing for his defeat, yet smiling in his face so as to make it easy to destroy him. We have made lots of friends in Europe, but we must realize that the politics of Europe is cold and soulless. We must come together and organize our forces for our own protection and for the protection of our posterity. The insolence of other people toward us because of our color is past understanding. Very few people look upon the Negro as a man like other men, but they look upon him as an ape or some lower animal or someone not to be considered in the serious affairs of life. That might have been satisfactory to the Negro in the past, but it is not satisfactory to the Negro of today, and so I call upon the Negro the world over to organize himself for declaring for his rights so that we may guarantee the continuance not only of our own lives but the lives of our posterity. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be, Your Obedient Servant, President General, Universal Negro Improvement Association.

Exhaustive Recital of Abuses and Abominations Visited Upon the Negro Race in All Parts of the World Is Made in Document Which Will Be Discussed Next Year at Tenth Session of the League Petition Is a Forceful and Moving- Appeal to Conscience of White World, Devoid of Passion or Prejudice—Right of Negroes, Who Are Also Children of God, to Govern Themselves in Their Own Land Emphasized The following is the petition that was presented to the League of Nations, at Geneva, on September 11, by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This petition is now occupying the attention of all the governments of the world, several of whom are in sympathy with the subject matter of the petition. The petition was presented to the League through Sir Eric Drummond, the Secretary-General. The petition is to be discussed by the Assembly of the League of Nations at its tenth session next year. At that time a representative delegation of the Negro peoples of the world will be in attendance to give evidence bearing on the facts contained in the petition. Twenty million copies of the petition are being circulated among the peoples of Europe, and it is anticipated that fully ten million copies will be circulated in the United States of America and millions more in the Americas. Several governments have offered their support to the proposals of adjustment laid out in the petition; and some of them have promised to assist the Negro people in coming into their own. Newspapers all over Europe are making comments on the petition, and by the time it in to be discussed next year Mr. Garvey feels sure that there will be a tremendous world sentiment on behalf of the appeal. Every Negro in the world is requested to write to the League of Nations, through the Secretary General, Sir Eric Drummond, asking that the petition receive the attention necessary, leading to an adjustment of the grave problems now confronting the Negro. 57 CASTLETOWN ROAD, WEST KENSINGTON LONDON, W. 14, ENGLAND Renewal of Petition of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities' League to the League of Nations, Geneva, Switzerland, and to the Separate and Distinct Nations of the World, and Their Nationals and Peoples, on Behalf of the Hundreds of Millions of Black, Struggling and Oppressed People of the World.

(2) We, your petitioners, believe that you are serious in the practice of your religions, and that your adoration of a God Head is not a force nor (3) We, your petitioners, have accepted your theory of the God Head, but have watched you practice with profound astonishment, yet believing Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN To Readers and Agents Additional copies of this issue of The Negro World are available at The Negro World office, 142 West 130th street, New York City.

BUSINESS MANAGER. that a time would come when you in the fullness of your righteousness, in keeping with your theory of the God Head, would extend to us, the black peoples of the world, the kindly principles on which your faith is founded. (5) The hour for such approach has come, and we, your petitioners, now lay at your feet our grievances, woes and sorrows and tribulations, imposed upon us by other children of the same God that you worship with us—the God that you claim shall be the judge of all marking and of whom you have taught us by your missionary zeal. (8) We love this God in whose name you have approached us, and we have plumed our faith and hope In Him, and now we call upon Him. In all His love and Divine terror, to touch, and move your hearts, and the lights of those who may be responsible, but hard, to have us. His black children, from the sin and sincer with which corrupt humanity has engulfed us. He is God and we know Him to be such; therefore, we are imploring Him, being a people and oppressed race without armaments—battleships, dreadnaughts, cruisers, submarines, airplanes, guns and liquid gases—to plead before you—our case for justice and righteousness; in that you have made no provision for us to appear before you, in august assembly, otherwise than through His Divine Presence. (4) Your petitioners beg to draw to your attention that consequent upon the slave trade, we have been scattered all over the world, under different climes, environments and circumstances, and thus we have chiefly to the African, American, South and Central *American*, West Indin and Asiatic Negroes, all of whom still look to African as, their Motherland, even though the continent has been robbed and desoloped by the ungodly and unjust political behavior of others. We now implore you to set right, on the principles of your religion and belief in the justice of God, this great wrong. (5) While your petitioners are no longer in the mass christian pilates, we beg to draw to your attention that the commercial, educational, industrial, political, religious and general economic commerce, which has since been substituted, has reduced us to a state bordering on misfortunity and a condition that places us in an awkward position as children of the one and same God who is the Father of all mankind, and of whom you taught up in your missionary seal, to trust, even as you do. Arrived at Slavery (3) in following the lead of those who have evangelized us, our lands and all our valuables in Africa have been appropriated and everything worth while on the continent, the land of our fathers, taken away, and new governments, not ours, and sphere of influence set up. We must carefess that the varying doctrines of how to acquire, another mind's property by stealth, to render him helpless, has never appealed to us, and because it was not moral nor ethical, we have always tried to keep ourselves from trespassing upon our neighbor, and to make sure that we do not covet not take his vineyard; but the teaching of the religion of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man was so appealing, with all its moral precepts, that we gladly followed you, to see the light; but, lo and behold; the twentieth century realization, of the practices of our religion has found us slaves—shattel and economic—speaks and serts, with our lands and country taken from us by the white Fries, our teachers. (19) Our petition to Your Excellence, is also a petition to the God you taught us to love; so even as we place before you to-day a copy of the immaculate petition to God, we send a like prayer to God and to Heaven. We shall daily and nightly, until Ethiopia stretches forth her hands, and princes come out of Egypt, send this petition up to our Father, with supplications, so that He may send His judgment upon those who are guilty in denying justice, righteousness and love to even the least of His children, who call Him Father! and we hope. He might touch the hearts of the righteous, to yield and give to us the things that are ours, as it was proper and right to "give unto Caesar the things that were Caesar's" and to do battle with the Europe of evil in England and France, then as was done in the help He gave to His chosen people when the powers of darkness encountered them. (19) It is true, that under the present impulse of Christianity, we are the disciples of the Church, and Christians, baptized, the congregants, born in the practice of the Doctrine of the Pope, and "the hands handed by the infidels were open to acquisition by Christianity, and the Europeans and Christians, invaded, conquered, killed THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN IS SHOWING A PHOTO OF A MAN IN A SUIT AND HAT. tack and subjugate the Saracens, pagans, etc., and to reduce them to perpetual servitude; to subdue the lands, the islands and the habitations of the pagans." But Pope Nicholas V.'s decree to the Portuguese, and others, could not have meant to hold the lands of the converted Christians—converts from paganism—whatever excuses may be given, to still hold our lands in Africa. It cannot be said that we are all still pagans. (13) Yet your petitioners feel that the European nations have acted, upon the principles enunciated by Pope Nicholas since the Fifteenth Century, and the result is a complete devastation and desolation of Africa, by Europeans, as against the interest of our race, the lawful owners of Africa, with its lands and valuables.

Return Embittered By U.S. Prejudice BRIDGEPORT, Coron., Oct. 16. Abandonment of facial prejudice was urged by the Rev. Dr. Frank C. Launach of Manila in an appeal for Philippines studying in this country before the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions; here today. Nearly 1,000 missionaries, clergymen and laymen from two hemispheres are attending the board meeting. The Rev. Dr. Rockwell H. Potter, Dean of Hartford Theological Seminary, presided. Frederick A. Gaskins, treasurer, reported the year 1928 the most successful financially in the history of the board, with total receipts of $2,120,275 and expenditures of $2,120,275, leaving a surplus of $11,430, as compared with a deficit last year of $147,566. Dr. Launch, recently Dean of Union Seminary,曼丽·赖德 that the 60,000 Filipinos in the United States not be sent back to their native land disillusioned. He had noticed that many who came here to study returned in a few years to the Philippines bitter against America and with religion and character gone. He said they had not come in contact with the best influences here. "We must not have one treatment of foreigners when we go to their country and another when they come to us," he said. "We must stop being satisfied to feed the heathen with a fen-toupon-and-mille spoon." Citing the objection of a Brooklyn woman that the Filipinos were a dark race, Dr. Laubach continued: "I regard that as the quintessence of paganism. The acid test today is whether we can shake hands with all races. The Jerusalem conference just said that, of all problems on earth this is the most menacing. And we must meet it. "The Philippines is one of the most important of all mission notes, he declared. "The times as important as humanity, as our population, education. There Christianity is on trial before him. If in the only country in Asia which is required as Christianism, "He described the word of American teaching in the Philippines since the Spanish-American war but concluded that was of the greatest aim of education—the founded of character—was not being attained because the influence of religion was lacking. BLACK WARRIORS SHOW PROWESS TO PRINCE OF WALES 4,000 Warriors of Uganda Stage Fierce Sham Battle for England's "Goodwill" Messenger in Interior of Africa KAMPALA, Uganda, Africa, Oct. 17. Four thousand matte warriors, their black bodies mottled with white paint, held a fierce sham battle for the Prince of Wales when he arrived today at this commercial capital of Uganda, far in the interior of British Africa. The tom-tom of great drums sounded increasingly and noises from yam's horns ceded across the valley during the demonstration. All the fighters were curious head-dresses and carried spears and shields in the traditional manner of their respective tribes. On the way to the battleground the tribesmen marched past the Prince along a road lined by thousands of white-thad figures—women and children watching their men in the contest. It was the climax to the journey on which the Prince has penetrated further into the interior of Africa than ever before: Early in the morning the Prince entered the town, where the shoji he hidden beneath tropical trees and where every hillside shows shops and official residences peering out from dense village. There were the usual addresses of welcome, reviews of Boy Scouts and the formal ceremonies which accompany all the Prince's Empire tours. But the most impressive ceremony came when the Prince moved to the Parliament House of the native kingdom of Benguela. There inside a great ring fence lives the Kabaka or Head of State. Musical instruments play in the house night and day, and a fire is kept alight during the Kabaka's lifetime, only being allowed to burn out when he dies. A vivid blue and yellow banner, the Buganda colors, hung from the wall. Down the center of the hall was a strip of dark cloth matting leading to the platform where three gift chairs stood on leopard skins. The Kabaka, a tall figure of great dignity dressed in blue and gold robes, led the Prince to the platform where the other members of Buganda's royal family were waiting. Speaking in faultless English, the Kabaka welcomed the royal visitor to "this small, insignificant country of mine." The Prince in reply told how happy he was in as the priest and poor perity made in so remote a part of the British Empire. System of Smuggling Alient Into U. S. Nipped Bremenbayen, Oct. 17 (A. P.)—The police have discovered a system for the wholesale smuggling of Italianis and other emigrants without passports on United States Line steamers bound for America. Three of the principal Italian agents involved and ten emigrants have been arrested. For the price of $155 each, the agents registere intendig emigrants in a small hotel at Portuguese, Mexican and other emigrars, later putting them aboard a vessel affixed to an Italianis with embarked bodies and faces. The authorities will an American post a fugitive emigrancy war to be awaited for further news. While the shipment American spilled for New York City, 15, the fugitive always were discovered and arrested. Two of them were Italianis and two emigrants. Scored as Menace by British M. P.'s West Africa in Parliament In the House of Commons on July 26. Sir H. Brittain: Will the right hon. gentleman give what encouragement he can to British business men who, for instance, are endeavoring to establish an all-British air route round Africa and so seaplane route in the West Indies, where it is badly wanted? Sir S. Hoare: Yes, certainly, speaking generally, but, as the hon. gentleman knows, it is a question of money. West Africa (Gin Imports) Leut.-Commander Kenworthy asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if his attention has been called to the increasing quantities of gin exported from England, to West Africa, which is a menace to the prosperity of the people; why the law aggrant the export of this gin for sale to the African subjects of His Majesty is not fully enforced; and what steps are being taken in the matter? Mr. Amefy: I am aware that there has been an increase in the import of gin in the Gold Coast and Nigeria, but the quantities exported from England show a considerable diminution in the case of Nigeria in the last four years, and no increase in the case of the Gold Coast. It is the great increase in the prosperity of the people which entails them to purchase spirits in spite of the heavy import duties now levied. There is no law against the export of gin, but, in accordance with international agreement, the importation of trade spirits was prohibited in 1910 in West Africa and remains prohibited. The Colonial Governments pay close attention to the importation of spirits, and the situation is carefully watched. Lieut.-Commander Kenworthy: Will the right hon. gentleman answer the first part of the question, and has his attention been called to the remarks of a distinguished visitor from the West Coast at the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce. In which he said his people were menaced by imports of gin from this country? Mr. Amery: If the hon. and gallant gentleman will read the answer, he will find that I have fully answered his question. Lieut.-Commander Kenworthy: Is the right hon. gentleman going to do anything to prevent the scandal of these subjects of His Majesty by these gin imports? Transport of Spirits On Tuesday. Mr. Barr asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies (1) the regulations with respect to the transport of spirits on the Niger within a distance of 25 miles of the northern boundary of Nigeria. (2) whether all trains, goods and passenger, and motor transport are subject to examination by capable officials with a view to ascertain (From "West Africa") The public-spirited visit of the King The public-spirited cost of the King and Queen of the Dominican Republic, the Congo State has led a special correspondent of the "Times" to write for that journal a couple of articles on the new era in that great part of tropical Africa. Belgium, he points out, has by her new policy in the Congo put an end to the last of the powerful charged concessions granted in the days of the independent State. Under the Belgian flag, he adds, there is no color bar. On the railways, engine drivers are Congolese. Natives are entitled to and receive the same conditions of feuds and pension as Europeans: Three principal measures have been passed in the native interests—judicial, medical and administrative. "A tribute must indeed be paid to the Belgian Colonial magistracy for the moral courage with which it ensures to black and white in the Congo, in fact as well as in theory, complete equality before the law." The new policy includes complete reorganization of the medical services. Five medical schools for native medical assistants have been created. Experienced doctors assert that the majority of their native assistants are quite equal to Europeans in the use of the microscope. In many cases, these patients prefer to receive an intravenous injection, from a trained African. Well-equipped, modern hospitals for Africans are rising in every large center, often before permanent hospitals have been provided for Europeans." Nationalism in Histories Assailed at Oslo Congress OSLO—The report by a special Swedish committee on nationalism and school history books was generally held to have been the most interesting feature of the international congress of historians recently concluded. The committee took a hostile attitude towards the present style of history which throughout the world. It emphasized the practice of teaching nationalistic self-gift without much regard for historical truth. One examination contained in the report said that the study of other nations' history from a comparative view point should be commended. whether liquor is attempted to be con- veyed into the Northern Territories of Nigeria; and, if so, at what points search is made. Mr. Amery; I will answer these questions together. Situations may not be accepted by the railway for con- signment to any point in the prohib- ited zone except on production of the necessary permit. I have no knowledge of the detailed arrangements adopted for supervising traffic by road or river, but I have no reason to sup- pose that any appreciable smuggling exists. Gin to the Gold Coast On Wednesday. Dr. Salter asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that large quantities of gin for which Britain is responsible are now being exported to the Gold Coast to the detriment of the people; and whether he will take any action to lessen the danger arising from this practice. Mr. Amery: I would refer the hon- member to my answer to Commander Kenworthy on July 28. Commander Kenworthy: Is the right hon, gentleman aware that the answer was absolutely unsatisfactory? Mr. Amery: No, sir. Mr. Crawford: Can the right hon, gentleman say how Britain is respon- sible for the gin? Right of Appeal In the House of Commons on Mon- day. Mr. Morgan Jones asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the present position as regards the Gambia. Protectorate (Amendment) Bill; whether his attention has been drawn to a petition, presented on behalf not only of the Native community, but also of resident Europeans, against the abolition of the right of appeal in criminal cases from the Courts of Summary Jurisdiction to the Supremeb Court, and to the fact that the amendments since introduced are regarded as inadequate, and whether, in view of the fact that the right of appeal, as introduced 15 years ago, has, as in the recent Sukutu case, resulted in the reversal of verdicts, he will disallow this proposed legislation? Mr. Ormshy-Gore: No patition on the subject to, which the hon. member refers has been received. The present position is that, by the amending Ordinance introduced and passed in June of this year and now in force, an appeal lies to the Supreme Court from any Native tribunal which has been constituted by the Commissioner sitting alone or with one of more Native members. In the case of Native tribunals which are composed of native members only, an appeal lies to the Commissioner, who has also power to transfer the case to himself at his discretion. In any case, the findings of all Native tribunals, however constituted, are reviewed by the judge of the Supreme Court. Three Haitian Doctors To Specialize at Howard The Rocketfeller Foundation of New York City has issued Yellowshirts to three Haitian physicians to study at Howard University. They are Dr. Jeap Joseph Prunels, Dr. Francois Mare Maurice, Ehart, and Dr. Paul Francois Leon Reno Salomon. These physicians are teachers in the National Medical School of Haiti, and have come to Howard University to specialize in their respective fields. Dr. Prunels will specialize in biology; Dr. Ehart in physics, and Dr. Salomon in chemistry. Wales' Aid Stricken On "Goodwill" Tour NAIROBI, Africa, Oct. 22. — The "good will" tour of Edward, Prince of Wales, and his brother, the Duke of Gloucester, through the African colonies may be altered because of the illness of Brigadier General Gerald F. Trotter, silent but constant companion of the heir to the British throne. Doctors and nurses have been sent from Kampala to the camp at Burluka, where it was sold the general's illness was heart trouble. SHE GAINED WEIGHT WITH McCOY'S TABLETS You remember her of course—not so long age she was a regular scarecrow—skinny is a mild word for the way she looked. Just look at her now—if ever a woman had a perfect figure she has it—she is the envy of half the girls in town. It's nothing to get excited about—she did well to take on weight after she fell behind in the weight chest—any skinny, weak, run down woman can do the same and gain a clean, clear complexion at the same time.

McCoy's Laboratories, 1mg W, 100 times, New York City LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday Night; Oct. 21.—The members of the New York Local turned out in force on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting and enjoyed to the full the evening's programme. Hon. E. B. Knox and Mine. M. L. T. de Mena were absent from the city on business of the Association, and the meeting was in the hands of the local officers, who deputized in a very efficient manner. Mr. J. H. Miller, 1st Vice-President, was in his accustomed role of presiding officer, aly supported by Mrs. L. McCartney and Miss Ethel Collins, 1st and 2nd Lady Vice-Presidents, respectively. Among the speakers of the evening were two visitors: Mr. A. A. McKenzie, of Jamaica, B. W. I., and Mr. Charles McEldery, of Philadelphia. Although nearly every one in the hall must have previously read it, there was rapt silence, broken by shouts of approval, as the weekly message of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, which appeared in the last issue of The Negro World, was read. In this article the President-General called upon every member of the organization not only to vote for Alfred E. Smith for President, but to work strenuously for his success at the polls. He warned the divisions against entertaining anyone who was advocating the cause of the Republican Party and suggested that drastic disciplinary action be taken with any member who was found voting for Hoover.

HALLOWE'ER PARTY DANCE Aussies STUDENTS and FRIENDS NEW YORK ACADEMY OF BUSINESS Imperial Theater Auditorium 125th St. and Seventh Ave. Wednesday Evening, October 31, 1928 MARBOROA ORCHESTRA SUBSCRIPTION—75 CENTS A VISITOR FROM JAMAICA The first speaker was Mr. A. A. McKenzie, who pointed out the necessity for co-operation and unity. Misunderstandings and difficulties there would be, he said, but these should be used as stepping stones to progress. The Negro, was in the fortunate position of having, an able and conscientious leader at the helm, and if only the people kept their heads and refused to allow the enemy to divide them success was assured. MISS-COLLINS' ADDRESS Miss Etha Collins, second lady vice president of the New York local, was the next speaker. Referring to the message of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, Miss Collins, quoting freely from it, pointed out that it was the duty of every member to follow to the letter the leader's advice, and vote for Governor Smith. The members must not forget, she said, that the Hon. Marcus Garvey had just completed a series of studies in his travels in Europe and was in a position to direct and instruct the membership as to just what they should do for the best interest of the race. The fact that he was not in America did not matter one bit; they could depend upon it that the Hon. Marcus Garvey had a thorough knowledge of the situation and was counseling in the interests of every element of the race. : "Negroes Not Wanted" Negroes Not Wanted Miss Collins then referred to recent events at Long Island where, she said, at Allenhurst, the white people were telling Negroes they were not wanted there and must go where they belonged. She wanted to remind the white people of Allenhurst that the Negro was brought to the Western world against his will, and since that time they have been rearceiling out the motherland among themselves. Now they were telling Negroes, to go where they belonged. The Negro was quite willing to retrain to Africa, the land of his fathers, the land "where the goda love to he," there to develop themselves politically and along all other lines. Smith Will Help This was one of the reasons, she continued, why Negroes were going to vote for Alfred E. Smith in November, because they felt he was the only man they could look to for conservation of the Negro's right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The black peoples of the world were determined, even in the Chinese had done, to come together and work for their own salvation, to the end that such things could not happen as are now happening in Allenhurst. The Negro race had as its leader the greatest organizer in the world, and there was absolutely no reason why they should not march on in one solid plalanx to success as other races and peoples had done. MRS. L. McCARTNEY'S ADDRESS Mrs. L. McCARTNEY, first lady vice president of the New York local, followed. She said it behooved the members to get more serious at this time. They must begin to think of their condition and what it would mean to remain in that condition. The Home Marcus' Carvey was doing all in his power to alleviate these conditions and, though he had accomplished a great deal, he would, have accomplished more, were it not for the disloyalty and treachery of those whom he gathered around him to assist in putting over the program. He was on his way triumphantly, when the wolves in sheep's clothing came in and tried to scatter the flock. Greater Than Before Those whom he had placed in the highest positions were the very ones who did the greatest damage. It was appalling to recall some of the things they had done, but she was glad to find toplight that though they had done their worst, though they had succeeded in placing the Hon. Marcus Garvey behind in so many bars, tonight the great leader was stronger than ever and was protesting the fight with greater determination and vigor and magnificent than ever before. He had traveled throughout Europe and had found out exactly what the powerful aim to do as regards the Negro race and he was devoting all his ability to wrecking their plans. He had his hand on the pulse of the world and he was prescribing the remedy for the race's ills. Hoover and Firestone In his judgment, nothing good could be expected from Herbert Hoover, who, as Secretary of Commerce, had joined hands with Firestone in selling the plains of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the development of Negroes in Liberia and had gotten a strangle hold on the black republic. The Man. Marcus Garvey was calling upon every Negro to vote for Alfred E. Smith and she hoped that the Negroes of America, would use the ballot, as far as they were able, to prevent the election of a proven enemy of the Negro race as President of the United States. MR. McELDERY'S ADDRESS: MR. McELDERY'S ADDRESS Mr. Charles McEldery, Second Vice-president of the Philadelphia Division, was the last speaker. He said he brought greetings from Philadelphia, where, under the able leadership of the Hon. S. A. Haynes, the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was progressing splendidly. It was Mr. Haynes' intention, he said, to be present at Liberty Hall, but at the last moment he was prevented from attending and had sent him, the speaker, to take his place. Philadelphia was boiling over with politics at present, and he was glad to report that the Universal Negro Improvement Association was playing its part in lining up Negroes for Alged E_r Smith and the Democratic Party. The speaker then recalled the coming of the Hon. Marcus Garvey to America, his conference with the late Booker T. Washington and his subsequent efforts to carry on the work of redemption from where the Sage of Tuskegee left off. He had no doubt that Booker T. Washington himself would be surprised, were he alive tonight, at the way in which the Hon. Marcus Garvey had accomplished the seeming impossible—the lining up of Negroes, who were scattered throughout the world—in the common cause of their redemption through the agency of one great organization. The speaker declared that he, for one, was in no way discouraged by the difficulties that sometimes appeared, in the way, for Garveyism had taken deep root, and the foremost thinkers among black men had long realized that his programme was the only one. If the race must be saved. It was only a question of time when all would be found working actively for the cause. Foe of Afghan Ameer's Reforms Shot, India Hears Peshawar, India, Oct. 16.—The reforms which Amanullah, Amer of Afghanistan, is beginning to introduce in his country following his tour of Europe are not being received favorably in the "Hornit Kingdom," according to unconfirmed news from Kabul, which adds that Herzat Pir Shah of Sherherbeazai who with several companions was taken in custody, for opposing the Amer's modernization plans, has been shot by the Amer's order. It is also reported that Sardar Amadapian, who signed the Anglo-Afghan treaty of 1809 at Rawalpindi on behalf of the Afghan government and Sardar Inayntullohian, elder son of the late Amoré Habidullah Khan, who was heir apparent to the throne before Amadapil Khan was elected Amoré, have been arrested for the same offense. It is alleged that previous to his arrest Hezrat Pir, who wielded great influence in Afghanistan, had been carrying on anti-government and anti-reform-propaganda among the fanatic Mangal and Jalta tribes, who live on the other side of Parachinar near the Indian border. U. S. Marines to Return BALBOA, Oct. 16—Admiral D. F. Sellers, commanding the American forces in Nicaragua, sailed on the flagship Rochester today, bound for Corinto, where he expects to remain until after the Nicaraguan election on Nov. 4. It is expected that withdrawal of the majority of the 5,000 marines now stationed there will be begin immediately after the elections, and it is hoped to have all home for Christmas except the number necessary to maintain order until the new government is established. When the last marines can be withdrawn depends upon progress in training the native constabulary, now under instruction at marine officers. However, it is believed the power of General Sandino, the rebel leader, is now so broken that a large force will not be required to keep peace and order, and that the constabulary will be able to take over the work soon. Colombia to Join U. S. Move for World Peace BOGOTA, Colombia. — The minister of Foreign Affairs, Carlos Uribe, informed the Associated Press that Colombia would participate in the Western Hemisphere conference at Washington next December pledged, to obligatory arbitration of international differences. It will not be determined for some time whether the instructions to Colombia delegates will include any special projects and reservations or not. It is understood that the Foreign Office wants to make a prolonged study of the question before submitting it to the Cabinet. Education Law Case Advanced WASHINGTON, Oct. 22—An attack on the New York education law which requires children between 14 and 29 years of age to attend school part of the time between 5 o'clock in the morning and 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Nought by Abraham Braunstein, convicted under law, was today advanced by the Supreme Court for argument on Of Kingston, Jamaica, R. W. I. "Where there is no vision the people perish." Many of the so-called impossibilities of today become the realities of tomorrow. An appreciable quota of the world usually scouts at the man of vision. Such a man, according to them, is in hot pursuit of the shadow in bent on a wild goose chase of a wild-cat scheme. I say emphatically that a man of vision seeks to introduce into the economic or social life of a people some noble Ideal which will make for progress and benefit humanity. The man of vision is sometimes discounted and here and there viewed in the light of a crook and charlatan; but history is replete with the honest endeavors of such men moving big premiums to the suspicious and irrational group of humanity. Transforming into Reality By suspicious, irrational and short-sighted individuals, almost every ideal is voted "Impossible". Then!lc; the shadow materializes before their very eyes, and is overtaken: the goose is caught and the wild-goose chase is ended; the impossible wild-cat scheme becomes a tame reality. Yes, a reality through the vision, faith, honesty of purpose, effort, constancy and patience of a man whom a quota of the world sarcastically styled a crook, a charlatan, or a more missionary; becomes a reality with the co-operation and support of a rational section of the community who are far removed from suspicion and loathy selfishness; who are able to detect the genuine from the spurious; who delight to listen to the dictates of conscience; who sink their individuality when there arises a cause that needs assistance; who are able to see eye to eye with the man of vision proclaiming the policy of "Each for all; and all for each." A Man of Faith The man is of vision is a man of faith. Faith is a miracle-worker in things material. All things are humanly possible save victory over death, the power to restore the dead to life or give life to inhabitants. A pessimistic people, a people lacking faith are continually groping in the dark. Faith like a luminous luntern shines through the darkness. It is therefore necessary for us to travel along the pathway of life with faith always. No venture will then be voted or viewed as being impossible, no difficulty will seem impossible; but every effort to accomplish the worthy, yet sometimes difficult end in view will be strengthened and guided by faith to press onward. Without hope and faith we can accomplish nothing. The pesimist and th faithless man suffer from inertia of the brain. In such cases the mind refuses to think constructively and incidentally—the man thus afflicted is powerless to act. The mind is in a complete state of doubt and lethargy. Until it is roused and charged, with the dynamic force of faith the pesimist, and the faithless man are unable to see and appreciate the view of the man of vision—no matter how crystal clear it may be. People of that ilk are diametrically opposed to the launching of a humanitarian ideal. They hope for nothing better than what already exists; and have no faith in the possibility, of a venture succeeding or the efficacy of anything new. Innovations do not appeal to them. Fortunately for us and our posteriorly there are men without envy and goodthrd men to be found everywhere with plenty of hope and faith, who readily extend a cordial welcome to the visualist; who manifest deep interest in new ideas and entertain good propositions; who assist him to develop his ideal and continue its further development without let or hindrance. Such are the men who are always prepared to sink their individuality; who forget self; who play no regard to class, color or gender; who maintain and live up to the principle that taken separately we can be as divided as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things that would tend to our mutual benefit or the good of the body politics. And the dawn of a new era is here.

Willis Shows Dethronement of Perry Howard and Others Was in Plan for White G. G. P. Party in the South HATTIESBURG, Miss., Oct. 24.—Herbert C. Hoover is entirely sympathetic with the South on the race question and in full accord with the policy to eliminate all Negroes from leadership, asserts T. J. Willis, one of the leading exponents of Lily-Whiteism. In support of this claim Willis says that at the Kansas City convention former Senator Irine Lenroot of Wisconsin gave him the following message from the Republican presidential nominee: "You tell Mr. Willis and others represent the white. groups that utter my nomination, if I am nominated, the Negro leader will be replaced by white men. We are going to have a white Republican party in the South." Here is Willis' version of what happened in Kansas City, with Mr. Hoover in the background: "When Perry Howard and his delegates arrived in Kansas City they were lined up with Mr. Butler of Massachusetts and Hilles of New York, who were leaders in the party opposing the nomination of Mr. Hoover. Butler controlled the entire delegation from his State, while Hilles had half of New York's vote in his pocket; but Perry Howard and his gang had not been seated and we were three to fight the recognition and prepared to cast our full strength for Hoover. "Mr. Hoover stayed in his office at Washington, being personally represented in Kansas City by former Senator Irvine Lennox root of Wisconsin. Learning of the fight between white and black factions of the party from Southern States, Hoover was apprised of the fact by a personal friend. "Hoover is entirely in sympathy with the South on the race question, since he has lived in California, where the Orient has caused so much embarrassment. He understands the situation down here. He called Mr. Lenroot in Kansas City and told him to bring utmost pressure to bear on the credentials committee for the recognition and seating of the white delegates from the Southern States. "But Lenroot, his personal manager at the convention, advised against the fight, saying that the nomination was already assured in spite of the Butler-Hillen opposition, and if the race issue were forced at that time it would result in unnecessary embarrassments. "This was Hoover's answer: 'In that case you tell Mr. Willis and others representing the white groups that after my nomination, if I am nominated the Negro leaders will be replaced by white men. We are going to have a white Republican party, in the South.'" "And that is exactly what has happened. Here in Mississippi Perry Howard and his gang are the same as out. He and his leaders have been indicted by the Federal Grand Jury and the white faction's presidential electors are to be on the ballot. That means that after Nov. 6 the Negro faction here will be repudiated by the Republicans themselves in this state. It will mean that party affairs will have passed into the hands of reputable white men. "When Mrs. Willebrandt heard from the lips of Limont Rowland and other Southern men that the situation described actually existed, she said she FRANCE N. FINSTON Box 47, Hamilton, Orange P. O.

"All this background is given to prove that the Republican party today has changed its attitude. It believes that there are a large number of citizens in the South who would vote the Republican ticket if the party in their section is controlled by white men, and the party now intends to give them that privilege. "Regeneration of the Republican party south of the Mason-Dixon Line is one of the most significant phases of the current Republican election, according to Willis." Earth Speeding Up Causes Quakes, Scientists Think CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 19.—Calculations showing that the earth is continuing to rotate faster than the regular speed of one rotation in twenty four hours were presented to the American Association of Variable Star, Observers in annual convention here tonight. The interest of many people in the calculations lies in their possible application to the study of earthquakes, rather than to any appreciable change in the length of the day. The cause of the faster speed is suspected to be the contracting of the earth's crust. Explanation was made of periods in which the rotation slows, thus perhaps to swelling of the earthly crust, and of the possible relation of both contraction and swelling to earthquakes. The calculations were presented by Ernest W. Brown, Sterling professor of mathematics at Yale University. They were based on 340 observations in 1927, taken all over the world, of occultations of the moon—that is, of the observing of stars when the moon passed in front of them. The variable star observers supplied, nearly two-thirds of these observations. "The cause of the variations in the earth's rotation is unknown," said Prof. Brown. "The only theory that seems to fit the facts is that the earth swells or contracts from time to time. The amount of swelling. It if exists, in very small at most. Only a few inches, perhaps ten or twelve. "It is supposed that the expansion and contraction may lead to disturbance of the earth's crust, much as occurs during earthquakes." Potentines must be good!

Address your letter to Viscount Peel Succeeds Earl of Birkenhead as Secretary for India LONDON, Oct. 18.—An official announcement is made that Viscount Peel will succeed the Earl of Birkenhead as Secretary of State for India. Lord Peel was Secretary for India in 1922-24. Lord Birkenhead resigned several days ago. The Marquess of Londonderry will replace Lord Peel as First Commissioner of Works. Lord Birkenhead, on the occasion of his retirement, has been created by the King a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Star of India. LONDON, Oct 18.—Lord Birkhead's resignation is generally regarded as a symptom of the declining power of politics to attract the "best brains." There have been many instances since the war of the abandonment of politics in favor of commerce. Among the examples quoted in those of the Hom. Reginald McKenna and Sir Robert Horne, both former Chancellors of the Exchequer, and Sir Eric Goddes, former First Lord of the Admiralty. Lord Birkhead's case is unprecedented. He has had no previous commercial contacts and has voluntarily surrendered a high political position for a business career. It is believed he has taken this step because of the need for a larger income. According to statements made by his friends, Lord Birkenhead intends, contrary to the modern practice, to claim an ex-Chancellor's pension of £5,000, regularly, although the presumption is that his services will not be available for judicial work. If the pension is claimed under such circumstances it is likely to cause much controversy. British on Rhine Are More Severe Than French WIESBADEN, Germany, Oct. 22.—For voicing his enthusiasm by singing "Deutschland Uberle Alles" on the arrival of the Graf Zeppelin in America, without having previously asked permission of the occupation authorities, the propietor of a restaurant was fined by the British military court 120 marks or fourteen days in jail. The French authorities were more lenient, for a leader of an orchestra in a Maycott beer garden was fined only one mark for rendering the same song. --- SUBSCRIPTION RATES TO THE NEGRO WORLD Domestic Foreign One Year.....$2.50.....$0.00 Six Months.....1.28.....Six Months.....1.50 Three Months.....7.75.....Three Months.....1.50 The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising.

MISLEADING THE PEOPLE II—Governor Smith and the Tariff From time immemorial the tariff has been used by the Republican Party to lure innocent, unmisoned citizens. The supposition that Republicans favor a high tariff, which in turn protects domestic products and the laboring man, has become an American tradition. On the other hand, Democrats are supposed to favor a low tariff, which will flood the market with foreign goods and lower the wages of the working man. In every campaign this is one of the chief arguments of Republican political spell-binders. In previous campaigns this moth-eaten bit of political propaganda has proved to be an easy vote-getter because, as a matter of fact, the average citizen knows about as much about tariff revision and its effect on trade and commerce as he knows how to make a brass hat. Thousands have heard this statement and passed it on without seeming to realize that any parrot can repeat what he hears without knowing what he is talking about. This particularly applies to Negroes who, because they are chiefly wage-earners, are easy to scare when you talk about lowering wages. This campaign in its fury is uncovering many old-time political subterfuges and explaining to the average voter many things, which he never has understood clearly. The question of tariff revision is as technical a problem as any with which the central government has to deal. Business men agree that a wholesale upward or downward revision of the schedule is a mistake. High tariff on many commodities, while protecting home industry and manufactures, also encourages monopoly. There are so many "ifs," "ands" and "buts" to tariff revision, that the citizen who glibly gives as one of his reasons for supporting the Republican Party that it favors a high protective tariff only succeeds in appearing ridiculous in the eyes of the informed. It is the custom to place the revision of the tariff schedules in the hands of a Tariff Commission. This Commission presents its findings to Congress for its approval. Heretofore the Commission has been bi-partisan. This will be news to those who have trustingly believed that tariff revision during a Republican administration has rested solely in the hands of the beloved and trusted members of their party. In spite of its bi-partisan composition, the "queer circumstances" surrounding the choice of the members of the Tariff Commission have resulted in, as the New York Times tells us, "an inevitable trading and scramble for fayors", which has demoralized tariff legislation. In other words, it is an open secret that Republican tariff revision has been controlled by-"big business." And where is the worker who is so innocent as to believe that the corporation loves the worker? Governor Smith has advanced a sound and practical plan to solve the major difficulties which are presented by the Republican method of handling the tariff question. The principal features of this plan, or "prescription," as Mf. Smith calls it, were very clearly and simply stated in a recent editorial in The New York Times, which said in part: Whatever changes are to be made in the Tariff are to come through the specific revision of specific schedules, each considered wholly upon our own merits, and in the light of an investigation by our impartial commission. This procedure, obviously, involves the entire re-making of the Tariff Commission. Governor Smith has shown how the ineptitude of the present body, and the queer circumstances surrounding the choice of its members, are due largely to the requirement in the law that the commission be bi-partisan. In lieu of a bi-partisan board Gov. Smith proposed & non-partisan organization, with a status which may be compared with, that of the Interstate Commerce Commission, though without its power. Its members would be chosen with the same degree of care that is given to the selection of Federal judges. They would be picked from among those best qualified in the country, regardless of party affiliations, and the remuneration would be sufficient to attract men of recognized talent and standing. The commission as thus constituted would be kept as free from outside interference as the courts are today, and it would be supplied with ample facilities to discharge its duties under the law. This is a sweeping departure from the Republican methods of tariff legislation, but it is the kind of revision desired by all business men except those enjoying special privileges which could not continue under a fair method of readjustment. Gov. Smith has offered something more than a mere tariff, prescription. He offers the pledge of full and free economic opportunity to labor, industry, commerce and agriculture alike. Thus we see that Governor Smith would place the solution of the tariff problem in the hands of men qualified by talent and training, regardless of party affiliations. Even the Republicans can find nothing to criticize in such a course, for specialization is the order of the day, and the superior performance of trained people, unhampered by pressure from any source, must be acknowledged by those to whom the welfare of the country at large is the chief consideration. In the face of the plain and sensible statement of Governor Smith's attitude on the tariff, no sane Negro can believe still that the preservation of his job depends upon the election of Herbert Hoover. The tariff will be revised whether Hoover or Smith is the next President: There is no recipe for a perfect tariff. But we do believe that the manner in which Smith purposes to go about the business of tariff revision presages more satisfactory results to the ministry as a whole than any yet achieved during any Republican ad- Negroes who are following applauding and falling ination from the progress of other darker peoples in their fight for independence can find much encouragement in the splendid and practical fight the, India is making to throw off the yoke of British domination. Indian problems, like those of the Negro, are far too complicated and deep to be solved in a day; but Indian leaders are handling India's campaign for independence in a manner which is commanding the admiration of both the black and the white world. The Literary Digest tells us that "instead of cayling at the British while they sit on the political fence. Indian leaders are reported by some of their sympathizers to be getting at grips with their constitutional problems in a way to attract the attention of the world. They have produced a constitution, we are told, which if adopted, would convert India into another Canada." All of which means that India is expressing its nationalistic aspirations in a concrete way. They know exactly what they need and want as a people, and they are asking for it, fighting for it, with reason, dignity and determination. Indian Nationalists never were fooled by the gesture which England made when it appointed the Simon Commission to investigate and make recommendations for the solution of India's political problems. They knew that white peoples never solve fairly the problems of other peoples. The white man has dominated the world for centuries; and he is going to keep right on doing it as long as he can. Indians have asked for bread for two centuries and received stones from Great Britain. The fact that they have ceased to beg and have begun to demand and fight for what is rightfully theirs is winning the respect and admiration of the civilized world. The white press puts great emphasis upon the fact that there are two divisions of the Nationalist party. Some are demanding complete independence at once. Others are asking for the creation of the "Dominion of India" which would give to the country the sort of government which Canada and Australia now have. In a larger sense, since independence is the thing that all progressive Indians want, the fact that a radical group is asking for it all at once, while a conservative group, for expediency, asks for it in broken doses is of small importance. We must expect undue emphasis to be placed upon this state of affairs by the white man whose policy is to "divide and rule." As long as the Indians can be made to believe that they are disagreeing, they will lack the strength of numbers necessary to throw off the iron yoke of British oppression. The fact that several of the political parties in India signed the draft of the constitution which has been submitted to Great Britain for parliamentary approval is important because it shows an increased union of thought without which India never can hope to gain even a semblance of independence. If the millions of natives would support any reasonable, conservative plan of independence at this time, many Indians believe the complete independence would only be a matter of time. Negroes are divided in sentiment as Indians are divided, but Indians are fortunate in that no considerable group of Indians is to be found outside of India. Negroes have been scattered by the white man from one end of the world to the other, and a difference of environment created a difference in outlook which it has taken nearly a century to overcome. Negroes can sympathize with their Indian brothers because they, too, have been the victims of the white man's "divide and rule" policy. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the pioneer of international Negro organizations. Negro Nationalism is its chief aim. It is solidifying the opinions of Negroes throughout the world. It emphasizes the necessity for international mass action as the Negro's only hope for political and economic freedom. Millions of Negroes, members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, will follow with interest India's march to Nationalism and rejoice with their dark brothers to each victory is won.

Herein The Negro World introduces Mr. Hoover, the Republican candidate for President. But it is no cherub-faced, taciturn, dignified mortal you shall see. Mr. Hoover is on the verge of apoplexy. His grief is fathomless. He is vivid with rage. The resilient accomplice of Firestone bounces harder than any rubber ball. The famed cosmopolitan is enceased on Main Street. The understudy of Silent Cal has loosened his tongue. The "great humanitarian" is about his father's business. And all because some one has said that he danced with a Negro woman. No Negro now need heed any plea that he give his vote to Hoover in November. Climaxing his recent anti-Negro utterances, Hoover has just inspired a statement which he intended to be, and which is, an open insult to every man and woman in the world with Negro blood in their veins. He says that the assertion that he danced last year with a Negro woman in Mississippi is "the most indecent and unworthy statement in the whole of a bitter campaign," and he adds, "no more unworthful and ignoble assertion was ever uttered by a public man in the United States." If we understand the English language, this means, beyond a shadow of doubt, that Hoover, the man who aspires to the Presidency of the United States, feels that no white man, and he, Hoover, in particular, can be guilty of a more ignoble deed than dancing with a Negro woman. No amount of sophistry can mitigate the sinister intent of his words. Those who still profess to believe that the election of Herbert Hoover hodes any good for the Negro race should acquaint themselves with the details of this latest incident. It appears that Governor Bilbo of Mississippi made the assertion, which was given wide publicity in the Southern press, that during the flood of 1927 Mr. Hoover met and danced with a Negro woman at Mound Bayou, Miss. The veiled intimation was that this woman was Mrs. Mary C. Booze, Republican Committeewoman from Mississippi, who, it will be recalled, was a storm center in Washington a few months ago when she was sinned at a political meeting by women of the Republican Party. Hoover read the Bilbo statement and wept. Forthwith he renounced his whole campaign strategy. The gentleman who could remain silent, content to benefit by the bigotry of the Willebrandis and the Stratons, suddenly grew articulate and indignant; he whom the Amsterdam News, our esteemed but misguided contemporary, applauded two weeks ago because he "never answers personal attacks" did design to answer. He summoned his assistant, Mr. George Ackerson, to his side, and, via Western Union, dispatched a message to Governor Bilbo which should be read and thoroughly digested by every one of the hundreds of Negro women who are now supporting Hoover's candidacy. The Negro World has no quarrel with Mr. Hoover because he issued his denial. He needs the votes of those who hate the Negro. But the manner of his denial shows clearly his personal attitude toward Negro womanhood. In Mr. Hoover's opinion the worst thing that can befall him is to be accused, truthfully or falsely, of dancing with a Negro woman. Can any Negro man or woman, retaining the slightest vestige of racial self-respect, vote for such a man as this? Franco-Swiss Peace Almost 400 Years Old DAIRI—Perpetual 'pence' aimed at id the U.S. and Kollegs is not at alternate now.

HOMELEP PHILOSOPHY THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU SAYS YOU love her and equally it is to mourn when your love is live, gracious, grace and need. Dear in your heart she is an angel, but actually she is more often the treasured servant, the unthanked slave. When she goes away needs to return, you think of her, long for her, miser her and are sad. Bad because you did not give her happiness for happiness, full and overwhelming. It is very easy to take too much for granted, the love of the one who loves best—GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CELESTE COLE, SOPRANO, OF DETROIT DIVISION, WINS RADIO CONTEST Chosen, with Baritone Singer, to Represent Michigan in Semi-Final of National Radio Audition—Unanimous Choice of Judges The last of the ballots cast for the singers in the state content of the national radio audition have been counted and the wonders are announced as the solo, soprano, and Wilfred Engleman, bassist. Both young singers are Detroiter. They were also winners of the Detroit audition in September, when approximately 150 singers between the ages of 18 and 26 years met in competition to determine who would be married as the two to represent Detroit in the state audition. Other communities held similar contents. Their winners were sent to the studio of WWJ last Monday. Twenty took part in the audition, which was broadcast. The radio audience was asked to assist in the judging. A board of judges was in the studio, listening through a loud speaker, but if such positions as to be able to see singers, who were announced only by number, Until one minute before they entered the studio they did not know which of four songs they were to sing. 12 and 42 Win Miss Cole was the eighteenth singer and her number was 12. She sang "Welcome, Sweet Wind" by Cadman. Mr. Engleman was the nineteenth singer and his number was 42. This song was "Valentine's Prayer" from Gounod's "Faust." They were the unanimous choice of the judges who were Prof. Earl Moore, of the University School of Music in Chicago, and Prof. Carl Lindgren, head of the voice department of the State Normal College at Ypsilanti, and Mrs. Eva Rimington Fee, of Filint. The radio audience, balloting from all 'parts of the state,' also were inclined to favor the Detroit contestants. Most of the votes were for these two, although Earl D. Black, of Flint, flinging "Slave Song" by Del Riego; Stewart Churchill, of Ann Arbor, flinging "Card Mt. Ben," by Gloriant; Nancy Myrklebite, of Gloriant, flinging "Songa Myrklebite," by Taught, of Corrin, of Lanning, flinging "Swallows," by Del Aqua, were also favored. Go to Chicago Misa Cole, who lives at 4641 Brush street, and Mr. Engleman, who lives at 3629 Eighteenth street, will be Michigan's representatives in the district contest to be held in Chicago in November. They will meet winners from Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin to determine who will go to the national finals in New York in December, when $17,500 in cash awards will be distributed among 10 singers from every part of the United States. The Detroit contests were conducted by the Detroit News and the Tuesday Musicale. The state audition was under the supervision of Mrs. Norris Wentworth, of Bay City, state chairman. The event was part of the second annual campaign fostered by the Alwater Kent Foundation of Philadelphia, in an effort to discover America's two best young voices and to encourage others to cultivate their talent for singing. ZIONISTS SIGN ARMISTICE Groups, Resolve to Work, Together, in Palestine Rebuilding Zionists and non-Zionists will forget their differences and join in the upholding of Palestine, according to two resolutions adopted last night by 400 non-Zionists meeting in the Hotel Bilbittme. The meeting was called by Louis Marshall, chairman of the American Committee. The first resolution appealed the report of the Joint Palestine Survey Commission. Another deal with the formation of an enlarged Jewish Agency, which is recognized by Great Britain, the mandates nation of Palestine, as the machinery to be used by Jews of every nation in restoring Palestine. Christian Budapest Students Demand Ban on Jews BUDAFEST, Oct. 20.—Christian students in i sudestet today sent an ultimatum to the Ministry of Education demanding the reinforcement of anti-Jewish enrollment restrictions in the universities in their full former rage. During the day four Jewish students were beheaded, they were thrown on the roadway and they been thrown after them. Jewish students, both men and women, were engulfed from hostile room. In recent days there has been an outbreak of attacks on Jewish students in protest against the government's Jewish enrollment in the universities. A nation may realize that a great event is coming till it is definitely waking over those like a stormor. In 1880 few people dread the election of Lincoln. Most of them thought the campaign clouds would pass away after the elections that the "Black Republican" would be beaten and that nothing seemed would happen. In 1824 war sprung upon Europe with the outbreak of a tiger leaping upon its prey both the hungh. So now opular blindness again prevails; our eyes are holden that we cannot see. Not that there is any danger in the present case for armed conflict. The danger is far more subtle and for that reason, far more serious. You can heal a gunshot wound, but to heal the poisoned soul of a nation requires a miracle that is solemn wrought. For what the country is being asked to do by the publican party now is to degrade and debauch its soul, to sell its conscience for a mess of dirty potage, to trade its freedom for the benediction of the false prophets of a revolting and deadly creed of intolerance. At the beginning of this fateful year of 1928 the complacent oracles of optimism assured us that there would be no real issues in this campaign; that the Republican and Democratic parties were twin-brothers so much alike that one could not be told from the other; that prohibition was a dead question; that official corruption had been declared a virtue rather than a sin by the election of 1924, and that there was nothing of consequence really at stake. In point of fact, what we see now, if we are not hopeless blind, is a campaign more vital to national welfare, more pregnant with possible catality than that of 1860. Indeed, never before in our national history have the American people faced issues which run so deep into the moral and political vitals of the country. They literally constitute a life and death struggle between irreconcilable forces—forces of destruction, on the one hand, forces of salvation and restoration on the other. Hoover's election means the negation of every fundamental principle for which this country has stood from the beginning. Smith's election means its return to government of the people, for the people and by the people; to government sanity, government integrity, to the equality of all men and all classes before the law, to the shallowness of self-business interests from Washington and in every branch of the Federal service, to the reinsistence of democracy and justice in legislation and public administration. Hoover's success means the reverse of all this. It would put in the saddle for an indefinite period all the evil, demoralizing and degrading influences that dominate the Republican party. It is absurd to say the country will take no harm if Mr. Hoover is elected. His election under the conditions and issues of this campaign would represent a great moral and political calamity—the triumph of disintegrating and deadly forces with which the Republican party is in partnership. To state the case in legal phrase, the party of Harding, Coolidge, Daugherty, Fall, Sinclair and special interests is asking the American people to issue a Permanent Injunction against personal and religious liberty. The two real planks in the Republican platform, the two which they count on for success are Prohibition and Religious Hate. They deny it, but they are pocketing the profits. Neither Mr. Hoover nor his lejuants have repudiated the allies represented by these planks. Mr. Hoover has "rebuked" Mrs. Caldwell, his anti-Catholic friend in Virginia, and Dr. Work has "tubeked" his Alabama manager, but that is all. They do not dare to offend, these workers in the cause of righteousness. Nor have they centured even to rebuke the Political Persona who are campaigning for Hoover from their pubs. Nor have they said one word of condemnation of the cowardly and murderous Ku Klux Klan, the organized enemies of religious freedom; the midnight moralslaws whose creed is tyranny and inhumane cruelty. Only through prohibition and religious fanaticism can they hope to make any invades on the spiked South, and it would be suicide to drive them away. So they are asking permanent injunctions against religious liberty and personal freedom, and as to one of them they will get something like a Permanent Injunction if Smith is beaten. For the Democratic party will not dare in that event to nominate another Catholic for President for at least a quarter of a century. Prohibition will get another lease on life if Hoover wins, and the mad crusade against nature and common sense will go on to the alleluias of the saints and to the groans of the murdered and the curses of millions of the people. What that would result in nationally would be a long continuance of the present state of civil war, popular divisions and bitterness worse than those of the secession years. The effect on Christianity, already disastrous, would be intensified and almost irreversible. The "holy men" and "holy women" who are lining up against Smith because he is a Catholic are repudiator Christ and putting Him to an open shame. They are missionaries of the Devil. There "godly" women need not preach to us men about Christianity any more. We see now, under this test, how much real Christianity they have. The hope for Smith is in the heathen majority, in the great body of men and women who have palefens but no皦es. The nation must look to them to save us in this hour of supreme emergency. If However is elected Christianity will have failed again as old in the World War. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS The fellow in the group who falls trying to do something is entitled to praises instead of being conceived; the howling because some member in the group goes down trying, is altogether out of order.

BOHNGEN, Chairman (From the Chicago Tribune, Parla Edition) Declaring that France is the only country which offers to the Negro legal equality laid the humane rights of citizenship, Marcus Garvey, self-styled liberator of the Negro race, yesterday told the members of the Faubourg club of Paris that the French republic must continue to aid the Negro in his ambition to establish his own country and his own government in Africa. Mr. Garvey emphasized that the Negro must be given an opportunity to govern himself. He declared that if this problem were not settled very soon, the nations of the world would find themselves dragged down to the mire by the complications which would arise. He emphasized that the Negro had a legal right to many portions of the African continent and that his race does not intend to forfeit this right. "I bring to you a message from the Negroes of the world," said Garvey. "I represent the Universal Negro Improvement Association which has 11,000,000 members. We represent a new thought in the Negro race. It is because we recognize France as our real friend that we come to you for support. "In America and England, the Negro suffers from a terrible prejudice. There are 15,000,000 Negroes in the United States but they have no voice in government. I mean they have no representatives in the national governing bodies; except, perhaps, a Negro doorman or janitor who might be seen in the house of Congress or in the halls of the Senate. America does not give us political equality and equality of jurisprudence. Decries British Barriers "That situation exists in England. In both countries, the Negro is a taxpayer; yet he has no voice. I led the agitation in the United States during 14 years for the liberation of the Negro. During that time various political machinations were indulged in to stop my propaganda. I served two years and five months of a five-year sentence in an American prison. If you have heard islanderous reports about me, it is because my oppressors Various questions were flung at Mr. Garvey at the conclusion of his speech. A French Negro in the audience wished to know whether the 18,000,000 Negroes in the United States would all quit their homes to become citizens of a Negro republic in Africa. Another Negro asked why Garvey only wanted parts of Africa rather than the entire continent. Several Americans in the audience spoke up at intervals to announce to Garvey that the future for the Negro in the United States was not as dark as he had painted. One member of Garvey's race argued so violently with the champion liberator of the race that he was almost ejected from the hall. TRUE SUCCESS From the Gold Coast Spectator It is not the chief end of man to achieve what the world will applaud as success. It is our main business in life to show ourselves true men, loving righteousness, hating evil, and willing to take such measure of present happiness and success as flows from obedience to truth. There is unconquerable strength which begins with the confession of weakness. There is a serene and lofty repose of the soul which is reached alone through conflicts and through scars. There is a pure and sacred joy which springs from the deepest sorrow and suffering. The great loss which we have most need to deplore is the loss of earnestness to do right, the loss of strength to resist temptation, the loss of faith in the everlasting principles of truth and duty. The poorest man in the world has something to live and die for. The most successful man in the world is the man who gives himself most earnestly to the cause of God and truth, and who never hates one lot of heart, and hopes in his good work, whatever difficulties and delays he may have to meet—Daniel March. —Daniel March. margins of the text. Two definitions given here to be home to things. All this language of a living human territory embracing the habits, whims, view-point and general life of the people speaking it; (2) It is the end of the people and its development (stronging on constant use) can be realised only by the people themselves. Care should therefore be taken not to lay undue stress on the work of the foreign expert, for although he can make collections of folk-lore, proverbs and poems in these languages, he is in no way qualified to assign them the right values. It is impossible for a foreigner to know what words and phrases express in the best manner which the soul of the native longs to utter, that is to say he does not know what is worthy of a place in native literature. The foreign expert is therefore encapsable of compiling text-books in the native languages for school use. This point needs stressing. Many attempts have been made by foreigners to write books in the native languages, even examination papers have been set in them, but the effect is miserable. The equipment 45 grammar and vocabulary is not sufficient for anyone writing in a language which is not his mother-tongue. There is the further question of style and idiom by which if most extant text-books are to be judged, they will be found distasteful besides being childish in subject matter. Until the writer has lived the life of the people speaking a language and is able to think as a native, it is useless writing text-books in the language, for the writer's outlook otherwise could not be native; he could not interpret nor throw into relief native life and native mind. An instance of the miserable attempts made by foreigners it making books in African languages will be quoted here as it has drawn attention to another common mistake, in the general attempts at developing African peoples. Some time ago in a prominent English weekly a certain writer who boasted of having stayed fifteen years in Africa, recommended that African languages be "scrapped." He cited an Hausa phrase, which translated means "cow of Gods' lamb." GRAND MASS MEETING Wednesday Evening, Oct. 31st AT 6 P.M. UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE CHICOPEE DEMOCRATIC CLUB 21st ASSEMBLY DISTRICT AT LIBERTY HALL 120 WEST 138th STREET SPEAKERS HON. JAMES J. WALKER HON. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT HON. ROYAL S. COPELAND HON. ROYAL H. WELLER HON. A. SPENCER FELD HON. ALBERT GROSSMAN AND OTHERS VOTE EVERY STAR ALL ARE INVITED COME EARLY In commending the Lord God, we must not think that the latter cast us so heavy on the importance of our language and our attention to the meaning of the Hausa language. But the question is be decided, no think, in whether the translator has blundered on the language is at fault. The fact is that the idea of God having a lamb is totally foreign to Hausa. There is a difference in meaning. It is merely a psychological in a people’s way of thinking to express of God’s lamb. If other people have not that peculiarity - it is absurd to infer alienation from that language is good for nothing. To the Hausa the word “lamb” does not suggest love or sacrifice, and even anything beyond this satisfaction of his palate or the relief of hunger. In translating “Lamb of God” as “Eye of God’s Lamb” the translator has produced a phrase which is not language; at least not Hausa. Had he paraphrased and enlarged the metaphor he could have brought home the meaning of the phrase to the Hausa native. The native could then count its own metaphor which might be “Horse of God” or even “Heir of the Emir.” The African or Hausa outlook is as good as any other people’s. We would give these words of advice to the developers of Africa—Introduce the African into the heart, the essence of things and leave him after he has grasped the idea to express it in a way natural to himself. Discourage him from initiating other peoples. These are the only ways of giving the African a truly African education. It is service- imitation that needs be "scrapped" out of Africa, not African languages. African languages are capable of being developed, but their development lies in the hands of the native. We would therefore suggest that native "societies" be formed on the lines of the Society for the Study of African Languages, and Cultures, or less strictly on that of the Academy of France. The "duty" of such native societies should be to collect, folklore and poems, selecting those that are worthy to be compiled into text-books. In compiling dictionaries, it would be best to sweep away the idea that African languages are poor in vocabulary. In towns where the impact of foreign civilisation has stamped with contempt everything native, many native words have fallen into disuse. The real African "wood-horn" cannot be found in towns, but is treasured up by the filiteration of the interior, who still cherish their "native wood-notes wild". Among them a wealth of words relating to agriculture, nature study, law, etc. can be obtained by patient investigators. There is at present a tendency in Africa which is to naturalize words from the languages of the rulers. This tendency must be discouraged, for it is not only the result of mental laziness, but a stunting influence to the genius of the native for word-making.

The policy consisted of taking our lands and properties in Africa, and reducing us, the original rightful owners, to serve on these lands. This has been the new method of soaring our lands and properties and threatening our race, as in South Africa, East Africa and South-West Africa, with extinction or extermination. By virtue of, and under the provision of the Berlin Decree Kings, Chiefs of the various parts, have been tricked, intrigued and forced into according so-called treaties, whereby they were unconscious made to code their sovereignties, over their hands and holdings to the Christians. (15) Your petitioners, after most emphatically that these our Kings, Chiefs and People understood the need of what these nations responded to the Christian Nations and their peoples. They never intended to sede their sovereignties over their lands nor to subjugate themselves as a people in any shape or form. They did not understand what they signed, and the Gold of Heaven knows this to be true, and shall judge in the order of the under compulsion and under pressure of superior force, still represented in battleships, cruisers, dreadnoughts, submarines, airplanes, jungles and liquid gasas. "Ceding of Sovereign Rights" (16) Your petitioners, respectively beg to illustrate the complications of the terms of the treaties, which could not have been understood, by our chiefs, when they web forced to sign, by relating a case in question. In the case of the treaties, concluded by the Germans with the chief and natives of East Asia, in the eighties of the last century, these chiefs are said to have "Cedo all sovereign rights," "all the rights, which according to the European ideas, are comprised of sovereign rights" and "all sovereign rights, which according to the law of European nations, are comprised in the life of sovereignty." Including the right to have their own laws and administration the right to leave customs and takes, the right to maintain an armed force permanently in the country. "All this view, we declare, was wholly unintelligible to those kings and chiefs who signed those treaties, hence, an undue advantage has been taken of our influence, in the premises, and, according to the interpretation and the international law, and the law of equity and justice, all such treaties should be pronounced null and void, who have benefited therefrom should restore their hidden gain, even in the ranks of Jesus and Christianity. (17) Your participants avert that the breakdown of the policy in the Berlin Decree constituted one of the real causes that led up to the Gigal European War of 1514 to 1518, because that was not pleased with the method of the Decree, hence the policy in practice, resulted in creating leonards and great discontent among the Family of Nations themselves in their race to establish a monopoly over an great area as they could acquire from our lands in Africa. The Doctrine of Trusteeship (18) Your petitioners avert, that the policy in the Berlin Decree, having become impossible, for further practical purposes, another policy was recently evolved, under what is called the doctrine of the Trusteeship for the Africans. This consists in declaring the lands of the Africans as being vested in the Crown, or some European Power, as Trustee for the Africans, and the parceling out of them in leasehold, tenures of 399 and 394 years, respectively, to Europeans, and curiously enough to Native themselves (the very owners of these lands) making 'them to pay rights to the Crown, their so-called trustee. (10) Your politician declares, that under this now principle of seizing our lands and property, those sections of our race, inhabiting East Africa (Kenya), and the whole of South Africa, have been systematically disposessed of their lands, by the white settlers, and they have now been turned over with their lands as mere corps and wage-carners in the hands of an hostile people. Your Honorable Body, to which we appeal, may gather further, facts and information on this question from time to time, by John Olivier, illiterate and British Noble, Lord Olivier, who has properly caused, from time to time, at lectures, in the House of Kords, and in public speeches, the breakdown of the system of Trusteeship for the Africans. (Theory and Practices.) Confusion and Death (20) It may seem strange to Your Excellencies that so much confusion exists in the world today, but when it is considered that there is so much infusion, one should not wonder that out of the many conferences and councils that have been held, resulting in new pictures and decrees, nothing else but death, further confusion and dir- appointment have occurred in the midst of apparent wisdom. The world within recent years, has lost the presence of several eminent states-men, who, apparently, desiled peace, and spoke of it, notably Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding and others well known to yesh Auserot Body. One wonders, with the untimely natural death of these great men, apparently in the prime of life. If it is not a warning, and a handwriting on the wall of God's way, to show how displeased He is with the unfair methods of men, even when they talk about justice's peace and human love, when there is none? We respectfully ask Your Excellencies to ponder the matter, and to weigh it in the light of the effect of human prayers to God to help the oppressed and submerged multitude. The speak and helpless have only their prayers to God as their defence and protection, while the mighty of the earth, have their battleships and their armies as their means of offence, even in the name of Christ our Master. Africans Abroad to Help (21) Your petitioners are aware of the present existing state of affairs among their own kith and kin, in Africa, as regards the Land question, and its economic development, and over that these their 'breechmen' in Africa do really and earnestly need to be educated abroad, who have already been properly equipped with Western culture, to return to Africa to assist in the proper development of their homeland. (22) Your petitioners respectfully beg to draw to Your Excellencies' attention the following facts of history, that in 1857 to 1859, the Negroes abroad sent certain of their people, from America to Africa, as Commissioners with a view to effecting with the Native Chiefs a means to bring about proper economic development of Africa in the present arrangement been frustrated, by design, the present African economic problems would certainly have been avoided. (23) Your petitioners humbly beg to recite certain grievances, from which ye are suffering, in all parts of the world, and herg that you take immediate or early steps to remedy them, so that the world may grow to live in peace, that peace you have so nobly declared for and talked about so thoroughly contained in that divine invocation of the Angels, in proclaiming: "Peace on earth and good-will toward all men." ABUSES AND ABOMINATIONS (24) It is for us, Honourable Sirs, to emphasize these abuses and abominations from which, we suffer, as a people, to further impress you with the true state of affairs that exist and the conditions we have to live: (25) In Africa, our people have been reduced to a state of social, economic and educational inefficiencies. In South Africa, East Africa, and South-West Africa, the natives are regarded as inferior human beings, and, in some instances, not as human beings at all, by the white settlers; and, in sections, laws of repression and discrimination have been made against the interests of the natives. There have been decided policies to be implemented, the right, to vote and to take part in the affairs of the government, and denied the privilege to work as they choose or to move about in their own country as they desire. They have been excluded from the ownership of lands, in certain areas, and, are in most places, driven to live in compounds, while the white settlers, through the government, arrogate to themselves the right to possess the lands and values that have been the natives' hereditary right for ages. In some sections, laws have been allowed to walk on the same side as the white citizenry. (258) The Colour Bar Bills, and the discriminating legislative enactments of the South African Government, unite the South Africans to become mandatory guardians and trustees of the rights of the black people, in the area placed under their control. And we further state that the blacks. In the Americas, the West Indies and West Africa are far more cultured and advanced, educationally, than the white South Africans, and that they are better able to exercise the powers of the people in Mandatory Africa, than the prejudiced Africanders. Vicious Prohibitions in South Africa (57) To show the unfitness of the South Africans to administer the affairs of government, for other peoples, for the acts of injustice that exist in South Africa, between the Native Peoples, the coloured population and the whites. The following are among the prohibitions imposed by their Parliament since the accomplishment of Union:— (a) In Cape Colony (where Natives have exercised the Franchise for sixty years) the colored voters may not now elect a man of color to represent them in the Legislative Assembly. No Native taxpayer is entitled to vote in the Dungaree Free State or Natal. (The South Africa Act, 1898.) (b) Colored persons are excluded by Act of Parliament from membership rights in the Dutch Reformed Church outside Cape Colony (1811). (c) Colored mechanics are precluded from working as skilled laborers in the industrial centers (Mining Regulations, 1811). 11 Assembly of the League of Nations Where Negro Petition Will Be Discussed (4) Colored Citizens are excluded from military training in the Citizens' Defense force of the Union (Act 13 of 1912). (6) The settlement of Europeans on Crown land and the establishment of a Land Bank to advance State funds to white farmers is limited to Europeans to the exclusion of Native taxpayers (Act 15 and 1912). (7) Native miners are not allowed to benefit by the pensions and other advantages provided by law for miners who contract Minera's Philsis (Act 19 of 1912). (8) Natives are prohibited from buying fixed property in the Union except in tribal locations, that are already overcrowded and where tribal lands, being legally inalienable, cannot be bought or sold (Act 27 of 1913). which gives him one week in which to look for work. Failure to find work in the week gets him into trouble. He thus takes on anything that offers. Before commencing to work he must be contracted to his employer for a number of months and pay the Government a fee of two shillings per month for the service contract. This contract certifies him to stay on the mining property or in the particular part of town to work he works. He requires a "special" pass, which his brother in the same town. If he obtains leave to see his brother he finds him away in another part of town, and attempts to follow him up the monthly pass and the "special" pass will not save him from imprisonment. 6. Natives residing in the town and holding all their passes and permits are not allowed outside their own houses after 9 p.m. without a special pass signed by their employer. accepted the new conditions and come together so that men who form earned up to £200 per year as their improvements, had performed to complete indenture at £20 to per annum per family, and their r is never their own. These prohibitions operate now so harshly as in the Orange Free State where even the tribal locations, who have in a measure mitigated severity of the operation of the Act in their own affairs, do not obtain the O.K. each of whom a farm left to him under their will, were debarred from taking far as it was unlawful to pass his property to persons of color. whatever may be said of other attractions, those involved in the L Act certainly call for instant abrogation. When first passured, it was to be only temporary—for a period two years. But this is the fourteenth (1) The lease, of landed property to Natives is forbidden in the Union under a penalty of £100 or six months' imprisonment. They may only acquire interest in land from other Natives, and this means nothing as Natives never had any land to let (practically the whole of the land being in the hands of Europanes). (2) Native passengers holding tickets are not allowed to travel in any train other than in a native compartment. The effect thereof is that when a crotchety conductor refuses to carry Natives in his train, room on board the plane of room in the carriages, it is harmful for him to leave them strained in the void with their tickets in their pocket, if his excuse be that he had no compartment available for Natives. This hardship was imposed under sub-sections 4-6. Section 4, of Act 22 of 1916. (j) Native, whatever their qualification may be, are not employed in the public service except as "casual" mental laborers. (Public Service Regulations 1912) (k) Native interpreters have been dismissed the law courts and their places filled by white men, and the most imperfect knowledge of the vernacular, thus reducing to a force the administration of justice as far as native litigants are concerned. OLD RESTRICTIONS HAVE BEEN 1.—No natives can get licenses to search for precious stones even in proclaimed diggings outside Cape Colony. In the Cane-Province men of color exercised this right along the Vanal River Diggings for forty years before the Union. But now, copemakers are empowered to examine all applicants and to refuse or recommend their applications for diggers' licenses. These Committees consistently refuse all colored applicants in Cape Colony and recommend white ones only. 2.—After the British occupation of the Orange River Colony, the Crown Colony Government made it lawful for Native to hire land and graze their animals in the Orange River Colony now Orange Free State. This right was abolished by the Union Parliament in 1913 and Natives can only live in the Orange Free State as serfs in the employ of Europeans. 3. The Pass Laws on Farms. A native employed on a farm must have a service Pass. He cannot visit his brother on an adjoining farm without a "special" pass in addition to his service pass; and if he finds it necessary to continue such a visit, from the adjoining farm to the next, (his master not being there to give him a third pass) the service pass and the "special" will not avail him anything. 4. If a Native earns say 20s. ($5.00) per month, under one white farmer, and another white farmer offers him £3 ($15.00) per month, it is a crime under the pass law to take the better job without a consenting pass signed by his master—the One. Pounder ($5.00). 5. Urban Pass Laws vary in different towns and Municipalities but their rigorous operation is not dissimilar in the several districts. A native arriving in an industrial town from the territories, obtains a free pass which gives him one week in which to look for work. Failure to find work in the week gets him into trouble. He thus takes on anything that offers. Before commencing to work he must be contracted to his employer for a number of months and pay the Government a fee of two shillings per month for the service contract. This contract entitles him to stay on the mining property or in the particular part of the town where he works. He requires a "special pass" to visit his brother in the same town. If when he obtains leave to see his brother he finds him away in another part of the town and takes him up, the monthly pass and the "special pass will not save him from imprisonment. 6. Natives reading in the town and holding all their passes and permits are not allowed outside their own houses after 9 p. m. without a special pass signed by their employer. Taxed for Conjugal Rights Taxed for Conjugal Rights 7. In some of the towns married women are not allowed to stay in their husband's houses without paying the town clerk one shilling each month for the privilege of enjoying their conjugal rights. Failure to keep up this payment involves a fine of £21 or 30 days imprisonment. 8. Daughters are, not permitted to stay under the parental roof unless they: (a) work for a white person; and (b) Pay the town clerk a fee of one shilling per month. The girls so taxed often earn only 10/- to 15/- per month. 9. The multifurious Pass enactments in force in the different districts of the United Kingdom in Acts of the Union are embodied in Acts of Parliament in Ordinances and in A's thousand Proclamations, and Government Notices, and Regulations each of them having the force of Law, the moment a new issue of the Government Gazette containing one or more fresh ones leaves the Government Printing Works. These Curfew regulations and Pans laws are now extended to the Cape Colony, where they never existed before the date of the Union. 10. In the Northern Province, Natives pay over and above the ordinary taxes (which are also paid by white men), special native taxes that are not levable against the whites. From the proceeds of the special native tax, the Transvaal Provincial Council gets £340,000 per year for the maintenance of educational institutions for the free and compulsory education of white children—institutions in which the children are admitted. If there were no missionaries, the children of native taxpayers would get absolutely no education. 11. Litterly we have had to pay taxes in order to provide pensions for white war widows and white orphans, while our own war widows and orphans whose bread-winner fell in the recent great war are not cared for. Driving Natives off the Farm Driving Natives Sir the Farm The Land Act (G. & H.)—Of all the anti-native laws conceived by white men in the history of European colonization in South Africa, no single minority and distress among them did the Natives Land Act of 1912. It has cut off the very roots of native life by depriving all of natives' reheath gift—our ancient occupation of breeding, cattle and cultivating the soil. Natives may only carry on their ancestral occupation as servants in the employ of, and for the profit and benefit of, white men; and any European permitting native cattle to graze on his farm is liable to a fine of £100 or six months' imprisonment. This means that Natives who formerly earned a decent livelihood by hiring native cattle to graze on, vulturing the same and sharing the produce with the landowner, have since been evicted and replaced largely by ill-requited labor. Thousands of former farm tenants, finding their life-long occupation suddenly made illegal, have been forced to sell their cattle for what they would fetch, and have drifted into their cities where, among strange surroundings and incomprehensible restrictions, their lot has become unbearable. Others, after trekking round with their emancated stock in search of a place to graze them, and losing many, head by starvation on the trek, have left Union territory altogether to seek places of abode in the Protectorates or in Portuguese East Africa. Many of such evicted tenants—men, women and children—pulled through privations or escubbed through malaria fever or other climatic diseases in strange regions. Hundreds of such victims now lie buried at Madiloe, Southern Rhodesia, etc. Others have got rid of their stock, accepted the new conditions and become sorts, so that men who formerly earned up to £200 per year as farm tenants, with plenty of spare time for their improvements, had perforce to submit themselves and their families to complete indenture at £20, to £30 per annum per family, and their time is never their own. The men in the Orden operate—nowhere so harshly as in the Orden Free State, where even the tribal locations, which have in a measure mitigated the severity of the operation of the Land Act in other parts, do not exist. Two men in the O. F. S., each of whom had a farm left to him under their uncle's will, were debarred from taking transfer as it was unlawful to pass landed property to persons of color. And whatever may be said of the Land Act certainly no individual in the Land Act certainly call for instant abrogation. When first passed, it was said to be only temporary—for a period of two years. But this is the fourteenth year of our suffering, and the end is not in sight. PROJECTED HARDSHIPS The Native Affairs*Administration Bill passed the second reading in 1917, the further stages being postponed apparently till after the general election in 1920. Among other dramatic designs it proposes to confirm and make permanent all the temporary hardships of the Land Act of 1913 and to introduce provisions that are not now in existence. The judges, for instance, are to be deprived of all jurisdiction over Native, so that the Provincial Division of the Supreme Court may exist solely for the benefit of white immigrants, thus abolishing Magna Charta as far as it concern the Native, who are to be left to the capitals of the officials of the Department that taxes and rules them. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court a court too high for the scanty means of the native population—alone will be open to them. It further proposes to divide the Union into white and black areas, allotting over 87 per cent, of South Africa to the one million whites, leaving 12 per cent, of South Africa to the five million blacks, much of the 12 per cent, being awarded to the blacks by reason of its unmitability for cultivation and its unhealthy climate. A curious part of this unjust segregation proposal is that the bulk of the 12 per cent, awarded to Natives is in the English Province of Natal. No allotment is made in favour of the tribes in the Cape Midlands. There is specifically place in the Overseas Province of Natal to purchase their stock, and its provision for the Black menace of Transvaal, except the unimitable natural districts of the North, which, plus the rural locations, make up the 12 per cent, in the entire Union. The Natives Urban Areas Bill—It has been found that some Natives evicted from the rural districts under the Natives' Land Act, have become parts free by migrating to urban areas and complying with the numerous pass regulations. So this Bill provides for a fine of £100 or six months' imprisonment on anyone attempting to sell or lease a house to a Native in any town or village of the Union. Native men and women may only work if they obtain passes and pay a shilling a month each for the privilege. These new restrictions and prohibitions are to operate even in towns and villages at present free from the pass laws. IMPERIAL RESPONSIBILITY In official quarters it is sometimes said that, the Union of South Africa being a self-governing Dominion, the Empire cannot interfere. But if the Union Parliament is permitted to make South Africa absolutely uninhabitable to the native population because of their loyalty to the Empire, has Britain got room enough in her little island to accommodate the black millions that hounded out of their own homes? Many of these burdenships are imposed to placate the overhearing of the Union's policies, and refer to the Union Jack is "the rude, and oppose the Government because of its 'imperialistic leanings.' The statement that an autonomous Government cannot be interfered with is not supported by precedents. But for British public opinion, the Belgian atrocities would still be flourishing in the Congo. Lord Hardinge, as Vleceroy of India, has successfully interceded against a Union Act of Parliament passed in 1912 aimed at the few thousand Indian residents in South Africa. The result of this intercession was the Indian, Relief Act 23 of 1914. "Equally ironic is it to say, the Natives "must fight their case against their own government in their own country." The Natives have protested by written and telegramatic revolutions and by personal constitutions to the South African Government ever since 1811, and the only response has been a multiplication of the Dreadnaught prohibitions because the only means of talking to a constitutional government in the ballot, which a Natives have pot got. And it seems astonished in the sufferers' heads to hear of references to "their own country" especially in those parts of South Africa where a native cannot even buy or hire a house. On February 28, 1906, the following resolution was proposed by Sir William Bayles and accepted by the House of Commons without division: "That in any settlement of South African, affairs this House desires a recognition of Imperial responsibility for the protection of all slaves excluded from equal political rights; that the British government against service conditions of labor, and the guarantees of the native population of at least their existing status, with the unbroken possession of their liberties in Basutoland, Bechuanaland and other tribal countries and reservations." The Imperial Government of the day, through the Under, Colonial Secretary, Mr. Winston Churchill, accepted the resolution in language which left nothing to be desired, for he said: "His Majesty's Government will not restrain him, but, on the contrary, we shall gladly further his wish to inscribe it in the journals of the House. "We accept fully the proposition that there is an imperial responsibility for the protection of native races not represented in legislative assemblies, and I have in former times, not so long ago, joined with my hon. and gallant friend Major Sely in asserting, as I hope it may always be in my power to assert, the right of nay British subject of any race or any color, however humble may be his position, and however distant the land in, which he resides, he may be subject of the House of Commons." ^A self-governing Colony is not entitled to say one day, 'hands off; no dictation in our affairs', and the next day to telegraph for the protection of a bride of British infantry. The South African abominations mentioned above are aimed principally at "native races" not represented in legislative assemblies; and if such resolution, by the Imperial Parliament, is to be trampled under foot it will be difficult to make the suffering natives believe that the Allies have not yet defeated the British, and that they are depicted in the hope that it was waged for the anilization of the condition of impressed people. And today, those native races who had been impelled by what they believed in the British love of justice and fair play, to make enormous sacrifices for the spread of British Dominion in South Africa, are bitterly disappointed to find that a British Dominion, with the rights of minor Jews, Holocaust, Honorable Gentleman, the rule of the white man in the Colonies and Dominions of Africa and among native races. West Africa's Woes (25) The custom in West Africa, and other parts of Central Africa, where black men have been forced to doff their hats, in the presence of any white man or he insulted and often kicked, to obnoxious and repulsive to the cultured sense of NEGROs, and we surge that this outcure he stopped, and its continuation may lead to serious consequences, in that, in many instances, cultured black men, of high standing, have been insulted, and even forced to take off their hats in the presence of white men who were far below theiin culture and refinement, and even in social status. (29) That the subtle scheme of disconcerting native Africans from going abroad, to seek higher education, for the purpose of helping their country, is well known to us, and that all the barriers placed in their way are but a further proof of the indifference of the missionaries to Africa, and the missionaries to Africa have tried to impart. We realize that there is a scheme to deprive us of the blessings of higher learning, so that we may not develop the intelligence necessary to protect ourselves against the statute method of those who seek to rob and to disguise us, commercially and politically, respectfully respond some author to this belief, and would free us from all snakes in the way, such as restrictive immigration and immigration, non-assistance of passports, non-accommodation on steamships and other barriers of one kind or the other. IMMIGRATION RESTRICTIONS (30) We also beg to protest against the unfair method adopted by the Colonial governments in Africa, where their own governments are against and barriers against intelligent Negroes going from the United States and the West Indies in their homeland, Africa, for the purpose of peacefully settling and to help in the development of their country—a privilege that is granled European settlers, but surprisingly denied the Africans abroad. It is almost impossible for an intelllective man to in South Africa, or other parts of Africa, any white settler from any part of the world who seeks an entry, is welcomed. This is unfair. In certain colonies in Africa and in the West Indies the local governments have passed discriminating laws against the circulation of Negro newspapers, seeking to educate the black races and to help them to become self-reliant, while a free circulation is given to any and all white papers, and disguising statements against the gro. This is also unfair, and we petition Your Excellencies to bring about a remedy in the matter. (31) We respectively desire to draw to your attention that in certain parts of Europe an unfair and unchristian attitude has been adopted towards us as a people in that, while in our own countries, we demonstrate, the best and greatest courtesy and practice the best hospitality - to the Europeans. when we for business, finance, and education visit Europe, there is great disposition among the white people to dictateate against us in the hotels and public places, and to render us embarrassed and sometimes all-convenenced. A case in question is that of not so long a respectable member of our race, with his family, of our career in England, he desired toodge, as arrived in London, he desired toodge so naturally he made the usual personal request for admission, but during the course of an entire day he visited more than fifty hotels, in the city of London, and all of the hotels, except denied him accommodation, purely on account of color. A taxi bill of more than £3 15s. was incurred that day, going from place to place, in London, without finding the necessary accommodations. One hotel attendant booked the reservations for a public man and his wife, but canceled them minutes after when he was approached by a white American woman protesting that they were about to admit Negroes into the hotel. This demonstration of Christian Fellowship is rather questionable and a reflection against sincere missionary evangelization, and we desire to call it to the attention of the League as it leaves a nasty impression upon the minds of us who protest the Christian Faith furiousement against the Christian Faith in actions of Europe where the white tourists of America visit. The continuation of this prejudice will tend to develop a hostile disposition on the part of the intelligent Negroes, which may lead to retaliation not pleasant to both races. European Boycott of Negro-Labor (32) There has been an unfulfilled boycott of Ngoe labor in certain parts of Europe, and particularly in the British Isles. "The employment of black labor is discouraged, leaving most of our people who reside in these particular parts to starve, find in many cases to die from want. This is pronouncedly unfair, when it is considered that in the West Indies, and in Africa, the home of the black man, provisions are made for, and employment given to, the white colonists, without any discrimination, and in most cases they enjoy the best consideration for their labor to which the natives contribute. Nogro Bondage in United States. (34) In the United States, where fifteen million of our people are being held in economic, political and social bondage, we are often abused, maltreated and murdered without redress, although we form one-kenth of the population of that country. It is a well-known fact that the Negro has contributed in slavery and out, of the development of the United States, to the great amount of the wealth of the country, yet, any white, immigrant, who has just arrived in this country, receives better consideration at the hands of the people of the country and the government than the blacks who were born there, and whose ancestors have been domesticated there for centuries. There is a system of oppression and repression that seeks to keep the Negro below the level of the white man but above the level of the black man in a convenience, as in the case of the last World War, and the other wars of America, such as the Spanish-American War and the Mexican War. In the Southern States, where he is denied the use of the franchise, although he is in a City, he is brutalized by mob violence, where he is lynched for the most trivial offense with which he may be charged and not even tried. Lynching of Negroes in that section of the country has been an ancient institution with an ancient children, have been raised, and after being suppressed from trees, for the impbh to fall from them to the ground and the mob to trample upon the foots.

BLOOD DISEASES — No matter How Old or Old the Cause about the BLOOD DISEASE fed over 56 years in the most mature period to foreign countries five million paid to foreign countries five 179 W. Washington St. Beaver, Chicago. READERS ARE REQUESTED TO MENTION THE NEGRO WORLD WHEN REPLYING TO ADVERTISEMENTS of burnt men and women lynched by them. Pompeia is a common practice in these parts of the United States, and there is an agreement between the politicians and the statesmen of the North and South to economically starve the Negro, and thereby force his extermination in another fifty or a hundred years. The war of 1914-18 created a breach in the unholy scheme, but it is a fact that the scheme is being worked out, and we the intelligent people of the black race know that there is no future for the black man. in America, because the white man wants to make America a white nation. In the prosecution of this plan in America to exterminate the Negro, there have been several scams started to kill him into a state of watchful waiting, and then to spring the result upon him when it will be too late for him to help himself. In the prosecution of this scheme, colored leaders are used to deceive the black or Negro population so that they may make no effort to help themselves, notably among such leaders is a colored man by the name of W. E. B. DuBois. Creating a Buffer Caste (46) In America, Africa, and West Indies, the Europeans have raped and abused our womanhood for centuries to the extent that they have given us a monogree of several million which they are now skillfully using to undermine the Negro in Africa and the West Indie, by creating a buffer caste between black and white, and using them as a class to nullify the progress of the blacks and to keep than in a state of permanent subjugation and stagnation. This civil war is fought in South Africa and the Islands of West Indie, and is very dangerous to the interest of our people and we respectfully ask that something be done to prevent a continuation of it. (36) It is a fact that in Africa, and the West Indies and America there is an effort to discourage independent black or Nassie leadership of the black people, and that at times highly colored persons would be selected as the natural leaders of our group, so as to discourage the blacks from leading themselves. We respectfully help to protest against this scheme of selection, and to ask that it be made so, that the Negro can become his own leader, and that neither the whites nor the selected highly colored person be forced upon us without our consent. We also further protest against the scheme to place any group of people above us because of their caste or color, as is now happening in America, Africa and the West Indies. (37) We beg further to draw to your attention the terrible state of economic poverty that exists among our people in the West Indies and in parts of Central and South America, and the Southern section of the United States. Most of the black people of these parts are kept in the lowest state of prisonment while other people of the region are freed, and they decently and admire these leaders. An investigation into the economic condition of any of the islands of the West Indies will reveal the truthfulness of this statement. It is a fact that in the West Indies men are given positions, and advanced in those positions, purely because of their color, and that black men are excluded and kept down because they are black. We respectfully beg relief, through the effort of the League, from the continuation of such conditions. Discrimination In the West Indies Discrimination in the West Indies (58) In certain countries in the West Indies, like Cuba, our labor is discriminated against, and in little colored republics like Panama laws have been made specially discriminating against us. Recent laws have been made in Panama seeking to deny the Negro the right to enter that Republic even in spite of the fact that the black people of the West Indies made the greatest contribution in helping to exect the Panama Canal, the place fit for healthy habitats. Even though we are national of different governments, none of these governments took offence on our behalf against these discriminative laws, while they would have taken offence if those laws had been directed against the white sections of their citizenry. We respectfully beg to draw your attention to such matters, and make for relief. (458) In Cuba, thousands of our people are held there in a stranded condition, without any sympathy shown them by anyone nor any sympathy shown them by the respective governments of which they are nationales. Thousands of our people have been murdered in Cuba and in countries of South and Central America, and any interference on the behalf. Working for such gigantic trusts in Central America we have been led into ambush, and have been killed by native Indians and others to receive no redress. It is for these and other reasons that we feel that we ought to be allowed to look after and protect ourselves by the creation of a government of our own. (40) It is true that wherever a black man or Negro attempts to help his race, through intelligent leadership, that the commercial, industrial, and political forces that control governments seek to destroy him either through economic pressure of starvation or framed-up imprisonment, so as to discourage him and others to contend in that direction. A point in question is the trial of a celebrated case in the United States of America, where a Negro leader was sought to be discovered of because of the tremendous influence he had over his people. He was framed up by the government on a manufactured charge. He was taken by a white District Attorney before a white judge, a prejudiced white jury, found guilty and sent to jail for the maximum term. When a common friend asked the judge why he imposed such a sentence, he answered, "Because the man had too much influence over the Negro people." Another offshoot of the same government, who had the power to pardon, said that they did not want to punish the man, but that they wanted to set an example to other Negroes of that country, not to attempt to do things that this Negro sought to do—that of becoming self-reliant and to work out for themselves the creation of a nation of their own. (41) These, and manifold other grievances, we lay before you, praising that you take steps to remedy them for the sake of the common brotherhood of a common brotherhood. 1922 Petition Recalled (42). We also big to draw to your attention that in 1992 a delegation from the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, waited on your August body, at Geneva, and through the kind office of the Durban delegation, presented the following petition, which you referred to a special committee for action, but up to the present time we have received no notification of any action, other than to observe that a subsequent meeting you carried a resolution that the nationals who had grievances should present them through their respective governments. This we interpret as a diplomatic move to destroy the effect of our appeal, although it might not have been apparent to the League at the time they passed the resolution. (43) Being ourselves experts in diplomacy, we are fully able and competent to determine, the effect of any measure upon any given situation, therefore, we respectfully beg to further impress, the importance of the matter upon Your Excellencies. (44) As you may observe, the blacks or Negroes belong to no one nationality, in fact, nationality is only a matter of accident, as far as the Negro is concerned, for he had no choice of nationality, hence our petition should not be considered as one in the category of nationalists, but one of races, with the right to appeal to the soul and conscience of civilized humanity. (45) We are again trusting ourselves to the human care of Your Excellencies and feel sure that you will give us a better treatment and consideration than we have had in the past. The petition of 1922: PETITION African Communities' League Representing the integge of the four hundred million, Negroes, Indigenes of Africa, the British Subjects in the West Indies, South and Central America, and the Citizens, and other Negro inhabitants of the United States of America and those of Asia and Europe. The League of Nations THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS Geneva, Switzerland, September, 1922 YOUR EXCELLENCIES: We your humble petitioners, representing the racial interests of the four hundred million Negroes of the world, log to draw the attention of Your Excellencies to this our humble Excellence: 1. That civilization has reached the point where the different race groups have severally decided to adjust and administer their own racial affliction, and that each face feels that its interest can be best protected under its own different program for that reason, we find the different program of humanity seeking a national independent policy. Basing their policy on such premise, it is believed that the great problem of humanity will be solved, wherein all peoples will be allowed to live peacefully under the protection of their own racial government, and worship according to the dictates of their own consciences. In the practice of each race governing itself, there is every reason to assume that humanity becomes happier, and the cause of war becomes lessened. Seeking Racial Liberty 2. We, your petitioners, reoccurring this four hundred million. Negroes of the world, desire to be being before you the fact that our race is now reckoning racial political liberty; that we desire to found a government of our own, and that we shall be given the opportunity to exercise that liberty that is common to all free men of all races and nations. Buoyed with the belief that the opportunity would be presented to us for the formulation of such a government, we entered into the great war of 1214-1913, fighting under the banners of the Allied nations, with the pardonable hope that as a race we would be able to nasily in extending the benefits of democracy to all the peoples of the earth, that we would in our sacrifice of blood and money help and help people of the world and help which all humanity would live in peace and happiness. In the belief that we were assembling to bestow a boon upon humanity and civilization, fully two millions of us willingly allowed ourselves to be drafted from the French Colonial possessions in Africa, from the British-Colonial possessions in Africa and the West Indies, and from the United States of America. We permitted ourselves to be mobilized and disarmed to the very battle fronts in Africa, and Europe, where we 1. The image contains a barcode with a sequence of numbers. 2.

No one knows more, than Your Excellencies of the League of Nations, What splendid service we as a race rendered the allied nations during the war of 1814-1815. By our service the Allies were able to defeat Germany in the Battle of York, in the west Africa, in Togoland, the Cameroons, and other parts of the great continent, as well as to defeat the common foe in Europe. Consideration Given Others 4. Tour politicians were told, as a race, that all people who contributed to the war would be considered at its funeral the League of Nations has taken into consideration the restoration of Palestine to the Jew, and individual governments, which comprise the League of Nations, have given concessions to other races under their government. Ireland has been given the consideration of a Free State Government, Egypt has been granted a form of independence, and there is still a great consideration for India, who was represented at the Peace Conference at Versailles, through and by reason of the splendid service rendered by Indian soldiers. We are politicians, as representatives of the four hundred million Negroes of the world, beg to draw to your attention the fact that absolutely no consideration has been given us as a people for the splendid service we rendered during the war. Our men have died by the thousands to uphold the principles of the war, and millions of us in different parts of the world have contributed of our labor and money for the purpose of supporting our movements against the enemy. In America alone, our race subscribed $25,000,000 an loan to the American government to assist in carrying out the war. In the British Isles and in Canada and Africa, we also contributed millions of pounds to assist our respective governments during the time of stress. With the sacrifice we have given in blood, labor and money, we have not been fully considered by the League of Nations nor by the individual governments under whom we live and who are members of your Army Body. For that reason, the force, your humble politicians, further beg to convey to you the following information: "Government of Our Own in Africa" 5. There is a growing national, moral sentiment among the four hundred million Negroes of the world. We believe that as a people we should have a government of our own, in our homeland-Africa; that we should be acceded the opportunity to demonstrate our ability for government, even as the other races have been given such an opportunity by the League. We believe we are fully competent, and adequately equipped, to administer, in Africa, a government of our own, not to defray or establish a government of such a government in Africa, we feel that certain sections of Africa should be returned to us, as a race, so that we may be able to develop a civilization of our own, among ourselves, as a distinct ethnic group, among the many independent groups comprising the great human family. 6. Your petitioners beg to draw your attention to the fact that over three hundred years ago the ancestors of the Negroes of the Western world were stolen from Africa, and forcefully held as slaves. They were held in hongsoi in America for two hundred and fifty years, and in the British West Indies for two, hundred and thirty years. Fifty-seven years ago the slaves of America were liberated through the agency of Abraham Lincoln. Eighty-four years ago the slaves of the British West Indies were manumitted by Queen Victoria. Since the emancipation of the Negroes of America and the West Indies the race has developed a culture and civilization unexamined in the history of the world, and today our race occupies a high educational and scientific position among the other races of the world, even when measured by European standards. We have produced scientists, educators, lawyers, statesmen, doctors, engineers, soldiers and mechanics. We have in the main developed a high intelligence, and those of us of the Western world are ready and willing to place at the disposal as our brothers in Africa the culture and civilization we have developed for three hundred years. We are willing, most unanimously, to give our motherland—Africa—of the intelligence we have acquired in the Western world, in helping on her development. ment, which must inevitably rebound to the highest interests of modern civilization; and now that the opportunity presents itself, your petitioners pray that the League will consider the uncontrovertible claim of the entire race to a national home and government of their own in Africa. 7. We, your petitioners, desire to achieve a sympathetic, spiritful, educational and industrial civilization of our race in Africa, and we have every justification for holding the opinion that the League will consider our moral and legal claim to rehabilitation in our Motherland; Africa. Ask for German Colonies 8. Your petitioners, pray that you will grant to us, for the purpose of racial development, the mandate now given to the Union of South Africa, namely: German East Africa and German Southwest Africa. We feel that if the League will pass over to our control as a place the development of these two late German colonies, we shall be able, within twenty years, to prove to the world and to the local our ability to govern ourselves. 9. We, your petitioners, are of the opinion that it was with the highest consideration for helping in the development of these two late German colonies were handed over to the Union of South Africa as mandates, but now that your petitioners have brought to your notice the fact that we, ourselves, as a place, are prepared to assume the responsibility of developing 'our own country'—Africa, we have every reason to feel that you will be moved to give us that consideration which justice demands. 10. Your petitioners feel that you will not fail to appreciate the service that we have rendered an African, West Indians and American Negroes during the war, and that in recognition of such service you will not hesitate to grant us these two mandates for their development in the interest of our race. 11. Your petitioners feel that with sympathetic recognition, an independent government granted from the United Nations would be enabled to develop in Africa a friendly government, that would be ever ready to assist the League of Nations in endeavor its civilized program for the good of the entire human family. 12. Your Petitioner desire to impress upon you the fact that the four hundred million Negroes of the world are no longer disposed to hold themselves as serfs, prisons and slaves, but that it is their intention to look forward to the higher benefits of human liberty, human rights and true democracy. We desire also to impress upon you that it is not the intention of the four hundred million Negroes of the world to place themselves at the disposal of any other ethnic group as auxiliary of war, and mankind not be considered as human beings in the distribution of those rights to which the victors of war have ever been entitled; but we shall always be anxious to assist with our blood, and by every means at our disposal that may be necessary, when due consideration is given to our undeniable claims to which we are entitled as human beings, such rights and liberties being common to all other members of the human family. 13. Your Petitioners feel that there should be a better understanding between the races of the world, and that we, who, representing us yet do, one of the strongest groups of the human race are entitled to the highest consideration in all those human affairs that concern our existence as a people. 14. In conclusion, we have the honor to inform Your Excellencies, that a large people of the world, from the 3rd Annual International Convention, held in New York, will wait upon the League of Nations at its next convened, session at Geneva in the hope that it will be called upon to lay its demands before Your Excellencies and to answer any questions which the League might deem fit to our deputation before mentioned. We respectfully bag to tender our thanks to Your Excellencies in advance, and pray that the League of Nations will give its early attention to the valuable petition of Your Excellencies' Humble and Obliged Servants Executive Director of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for, and on behalf of, the Third Annual International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World. (BEND OF PETITION OF 1842) (1833 PETITION CONTINUED) White Patronage Hot Wanted (47) There are other institutions, and manifolds; where representative members of our race have been bred, paid and influenced to insure the reputation and goodwill of our race, for the politically benefit of those who may be benefited thereby. The method of singing out, honoring, and patronizing Newcomen, so as to use them against the best interests of their own people, to dishonorable, destructive and uncleaning a Christian brotherhood; therefore, we are appealing, to the league to discourage such is practiced among the white nations and governments. The practice is a means of exploiting the black race by patronizing such individuals who are generally kept and made wealthy. The Gose of Haiti (48) We further beg to call to your attention that we are very much argrieved over the politically continued occupation of the black Republic of Haiti by the powerful American Nation, an occupation that never would have commenced if Haiti had been a white country. We foresee that the black Republic of Haiti and Liberia have not been given a fair chance to develop, but that they have been marked, out as complete in its hazards, and are commended in the game manner of dealing with white nations. (50) We also submit that the entire Regions of West Africa could be brought together one United Commonwealth of Black Nations, and placed under the government of black men, as the solution of the Negro problem, both in Africa and the Western World, and we further believe that an amicable agreement could be reached between the United States, England, France and Belgium and the other nations concerped and the natives of Africa, their Chiefts and Kings, and the Negroes of the Western World, working together a solution of the need and dangerous problem that may lead to other consequences if not now adjusted on fair lines. Flooring West African Merchants 611. We respectfully but to draw to the attention of Your Excellence the artificially exploiting the native producers of West Africa, and hating them one of the value of their own products and other materials. In some cases gold to them for which they do not pay the reasonable market prices, and in other places, shipped in consignment which they skillfully manipulate in prizes so as to deny the native their greater value. The Europeans have designed many schemes by which they are able easily to force the natives and from this injustice and fraud we pray for relief. (62) In the Southern section of the United States a similar practice is indulged in by the large white farmers and produce dealers, where they actually rob the Negroes of their values in their crops and produce, and farm lands. A large number of Negroes in those parts are held as peons and are forbidden to leave those plantations and farms on which they work for a whole lifetime, with the threat of death. Others are held because of an alleged indebtedness to the farmers; an indebtedness that grows out of the catch of a few dollars and which according to the peculiar method of bookkeeping by the farmer can never be repaid, but which seems to increase more and more so to make it possible for the borrower to keep working out the payment, which never occurs, but which gives the farmer a legal right to detain the borrower. In the United States the borrower is likely to be held as a peon. (65) We are forced to draw to the attention of Your Excellencies the peculiar custom that exists in a large number of the colonies of the Europe, nation-in-Africa, and the West Indies, where in a large number of cases officials and semi-officials and colonists of the lowest culture and character. We have sent to administer the natives of the native countries, and where these representatives have assumed the attitude of arregance, rudeness and disrespect, not maintaining in the home countries, among their own people, but infureted in by them among us much to our disgust and to the point of causing us to disrespect authority. We ask that until proper relief be given us, pains be taken to send to the native peoples, only cultured white mugs, who have learned to respect the rights of other people, and who are not obsessed with the idea that they are gods and not mortals like other people simply because the home government that they represent may have led the people to be so much other arregance of destruction to destroy the native people on the edge of themselves as follows: This complaint must not be interpreted to mean of rejection upon the senn and decent administration of some of our colonial Governments. And unleashing yours own wills are generally Banning the "Negro World" (We desire to unite briggs to the attention of Your Excellencies, and embassies, the unfair meddling adopted by several of the colonial governments in Africa and the West Indies, where they have passed restrictive laws forbidding the circulation of certain Negro newspapers, especially such papers as the "Negro World," a medium of education for the Negro people, while all the white papers and periodicals of Europe, America and elsewhere are allowed free circulation, containing as some of them do, the most pernicious propaganda against the Negro or black people. In some places to be seen with a "Negro World" cannot be the punishment of life imprisonment, and in some places a long term in the workhouse, and still others the penalty of death. Justice this chameleon and a reflection against the justice of the white race, in dealing with native populations. Hampering Movements of Leaders Hammering Movements of Leaders (As) U.S. is reluctant to bring to the attention of Your Excellencies the situation in some of the colonies in Africa and the West Indies to pass ordinances calculated especially to interfere with and oppress the liberty of the black people, particularly through the activities and movements of their esteemed and intelligent representatives who may be working in their interest. A case in point is that recently the Legislature of the island of Trinidad was instigated to pass legislation, the purpose of which was to hinder a certain influential black man who is engaged in working for the advancement of the black people. From visiting the colony, although the said person claims, the game citizenship within an Empire with the islanders. The minority white colonists and the non-racial, non-armed ones who have jointly lived the ignorance and unfortunate condition of the black men, seeking to perpetrate their way of exploiting the blacks, and renaming them to an assistance by which they may be assisted, by which they may be interested in the ignorance they interested in that black people interested in that black people in the colony to confer with them in teaching ways and means of bettering their condition, suddenly seemed to introduce a law and have it passed in the Legislature plurality power would be placed in the hands of the Governor of the Colony to order the non-entry of such a person into the Colony. When asked if the ordinance was not intended to a special measure against a particular person, the Attorney General, who knew well it was, assayed to state that it was not, yet everybody knew that the object really was to prevent, at that particular time, a certain black man from visiting the colony in the interest of other black people, fellow citizens of the same Empire like himself. It is common knowledge that the explanation of the Attorney General was not above board, but only a gesture to make, the passage of the ordinance possible and uninterrupted. What is true of the method that is applied in Trinidad, is also true of nearly all the classes of Africa where ordinance and legislations are myriad in the effort to weaken and discourage the contact of intelligent black legitimate to be enforced by the government as acceptable by the government as courts of law in the United States, yet the transgender aspect of being these test cases; we use as a measure of immediate financial liability on blacks, and all the means of enforcing the method and acts of the bureaucracy of civilization as a whole are law-written as the white laws of generally interested in enforcing legislation that affect the white race, but not the black. Yet it is well known that these legislations and ordinances made against the interest of the blacks could not be enforced or even contemplated against members of the white race. Another method indulged in by those who exploit the unfortunate black is that whenever they hear of the visit of any influencing black person to the colony to assist the poor black population to improve themselves, the Governors, of these islands or countries are inspired to write a letter or letters to another Governor where such person may be domiciled, asking that particular Governor not to issue a passport or vise the passport of such individual to visit the Colony. A case in point is that, recently the Governor of the island of Barbados wrote a letter to the Governor, of another Colony, asking him not to issue a passport to a certain influential black man who had contemplated visiting Barbados to confer with the poor black people of that island relative to some millions of improving themselves. This is also true of the Governor of British Honduras, who wrote a similar letter of request to the Governor of the Colony to prevent the individual visiting British Honduras. Can Supply - Necessary Genius (36). We desire to draw the attention of Your Excellence in some places, the stagnant and undeveloped condition of the natives, especially of French, Belgian, Portuguese, Italian, and Spanish, sea, comparison with the proximate and other peoples in Europe, and elsewhere within the country, and of time of occupation. We admit that there is no need sympathetic effort or interest to help the natives for themselves, and to see them develop to the highest standard as Norwegian, but wherever a little progress is marked, it is the result of necessity in promoting the selfish criminal and other interests represented by the political occupations. We fully understand that the previous policy of acquiring political control in Africa by Europeans was to exploit the lands and peoples without any consideration for their interests in human beings, but in the light of modern thought, where all people are seeking freedom and liberty, given to the point of freedom for it, and in view of the fact that everybody desires peace, we feel that there should be a change of attitude among the Colonial Governments. We positively desire to see the black people advanced on the same plane of progress in the Europeans, and we are earnestly able of supplying the sympathetic intelligence and genius necessary for helping our people forward without any similar or selfish motive. If given the chance, as we do not desire, in the course of peace, to take the chance, we also beg to remind you of the horrors of the Madian Congo, under the regime of King Leopold, and to state that the same principle that acquired the explorer in that period in Africa now deserves homeland. We admire the more liberal attitude of France treating with us as a people, but we fully realize that the aim of the said treatment is skillfully calculated to make us more Fréchidien than self-reliance and political independence, such as we desire, in keeping with the principle of human liberty. An Amicable Adjustment Needed (67) It is not our intention at this particular time to burden the white race, as a whole, for the wrongs they have been upon us; the iniquities are numerous and beyond reckoning, and history and tradition are replete with the terror and violence with which they have been perpetrated. Civilization would stand ashamed at the compressions of the enormity of life in the world of the people. We prefer to seek an amicable adjustment, rather than press the indictment for a trial before the bar of our civilization. Pending hopefully for a favorable consideration of all our grievances, on set forth and indicated in these petitions, "beg" to remain your Excellence. Obedient Servant. MARCUS, CARVEY, President General, by Constitutional Election, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Community" League, Commissioner to Europe, Representing the "Black" Peoples of the World.

He delivered a soul-stirring lecture that reacted on the conscience of every unbeliever and stirred the soul and mind of believers to the extent that they were inspired to achieve greater victories in the future. Our hearts did really burn within us as he so forcefully and logically expounded the principles of the Universal Negro improvement Association. Rev. Johnson's lecture will long be remembered. Rev. E.

TODO NEGRO CON UN BOLETO ELECTORAL DE BERA VOTAR POR ALFRED E. SMITH Marcos Garvey hace una poderosa apelación a la Raza Negra en America, para que vote pro Alfred E. Smith en Noviembre—Señala el peligro de la elección de Merbert Hoover—Lo que se necesita al frente del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de America es un hombre de amplia humanidad; no un plutocrático sin corazón, ni tampoco un instrumento de los capitalistas. Compañeros de la Raza Negra: Mi mensaje de hoy es una apuesta Unidos de America, partícula ycha a la franquicia y pueden usar a ese avicianan. Hay envuelto un "issin esta elección"; el negro, por contra de si mismo. Un voto de elección esunitamente un voto solamente en los Estados Unidos. Por el contrario, un voto dado a laacia le extension de los derechos adel negro en todo el mundo, coercedor, durante el lapso de tiempo consideraciones que le faciliten el dedunde en su salyuco economía Un voto para Hoover e Yo se lo que escribo, canando para impedir el progreso futuro deenta un grupo de capitalistas que en sus relaciones con los debiles a Hoover como Presidente de los publica de poderes universales para que poner en las manos de un hombre maltratat a toda el del porque hay un esmuerzo titan para lograr la elección de Hoover? Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrand hacer campana a favor de Hoover? de humanidad en vuelto en contra de aquellos que estan en el poder, quiumanidad para ganancia de aquiles desan perpetuarse de la mi Mi consejo a todos los negros esto, es que voten por Alfred, el negro salvadino a sinmuerto y ayudando a la salvación de la Hoover sale elección Presidente de política de esta seria mención de un extender al Africa. Houltres con continuar influendo la administra y los pueblos debibles del mar Fingstone con la asistencia de la stalegna con la elección de elección en enero no puede permitir que porque todo negro en América que en favor de Alfred E. SMITH aje de hoy es una apelación directa a los de America, particularmente a aquellos quicia y pueden usar esta en las elecciones fay envuelto un "issue" tanto racional o ón; el negro, por consiguiente, su voto pismo. Un voto dado a favor de Hierbe ticamente un voto en contra de los inter los Estados Unidos de America, sino eño, un voto daño a favor del Alfred E. sión de los derechos humanos y la conser en todo el mundo, con la esperanza de que el lapso de tiempo de su presidencia es que le faciliten el desarrollo de una sit salvación económica. Un voto para Hoover es un voto por la escla que escribió, cuando digo que un voto por el progreso futuro de la Raza Negra. A no de capitalistas que no tienen conciencia es con los debiles (primidos que hay en el Presidente de los Estados Unidos de leres universales para la lueno ó para lo las manos de un hombre peligroso en ar te a todo la humanidad (primida de y en esmuero titánico) por parte de la el reección de Hoover? Podeis imaginar falker Willebrandt haya dejado sus función a favor de Hoover? Es porque existen envuelto en contra de los métodos y stan en el poder, quiénes desean oscure ragannicia de aquellos que ejercen en perpetuarse de la imagina minúscula y o a todos los negos en América que, en voten-por Alfred E. Smith y, haciendolo salvándose a simisión en América, sino a la salvación de la raza negra del mundo delo Presidente de los Estados Unidos eserse nación de una prolongada era de cifra. Hombres como Firestone, que es fiyendo la administración del Golierro y indigotiliosus y imperialistus para la nivelizas debiles del mundo. El acaparar con la asistencia de Hoover es solamente si Hoover fuera elección. La gente negra no puede permitir que esto tome cuerpo, siglo en América que tenga derecho al s E. FRIED E. SMITH en esta campaña. Mi mensaje de hoy es una apelación directa a los negros de los Estados Unidos de America, particularmente a aquellos que poseen el derecho a la franquicia y pueden usar en las elecciones presidenciales que se aveican. Hay envuelto un "issue" tanto nacional como internacional en esta elección; el negro, por consiguiente, su voto sera en pro o en contra de si mismo. Un voto dado a favor de Herbert Hoover an esta elección es nutricamente un voto en contra de los intereses del negro, no solamente en los Estados Unidos de America, sino en todo el mundo. Por el contrario, un voto dado a favor del Alfred E. Smith un voto hacia le extension de los derechos humanos y la conservación de la libertad del negro en todo el mundo, con la esperanza de que este llegue a ser creedor, durante el lapso de tiempo de su presidencia, al objeto de las consideraciones que le faciliten el desarrollo de una situación política que reduce en su salycción economica. Yo se lo que escribo, cuando digo que un voto por Hoover es voto para impedir el progreso futuro de la Raza Negra. Mr. Hoover representa un grupo de capitalistas que no tienen conciencia, no tienen alma en sus relaciones con los debibles *aprindidos* que hay en el mundo. Elegir a Hoover como Presidente de los Estados Unidos de America, una República de poderes universales para lo huelo o para lo malo, es lo mismo que poner en las manos de un hombre *peligroso* anurna con la cual el paue de matatar a toda la humanidad optimista. Podía daros cuenta del porque hay un esmuero titanico por parte de la "ganga capitalista para lograr la elección de Hoover?** Podía imaginaros el porque de que Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt haya dejado sus funciones oficiales para hacer campaña a favor de Hoover?** Es porque existen un gran principio de humanidad en contra de los métodos y planes corruptos de aquellos que estan en el poder, quiques descan oscurecer la causa de la humanidad para ganancia de aquellos que ejercen el dominio oficial, quiques descan perseguirse de la maigra maximica y egoista posible. Mi consejo a todos los negros en América que tengan el derecho al voto, es que voten por Alfred E. Smith; inciendolo sino, no solamente estará el negro salvandose a simismo en América, sino que estará salvando y ayudando a la salvación de la raza negra del mundo entero. Si Mr. Hoover sale elección Presidente de los Estados Unidos de América, la politica de esta sera mandada de una prolongada era de explotación que se extendera al Africa. Hombres como Firestone, que es amigo de Hoover, continuarán influyendo la administración del Gobierno Republicano, que los ayuletas como impulzistas o imperióstas para la explotación de losiegros y los piedidos debiles del mundo. El acaparamiento, de Liberia por Firestone con la asistencia de Hoover, es solamente un indicio de lo que sufriedería si Hoover fuera elección. La gente negra de América y del mundo entero no puede permitir este tono cuerpo. Yo apeló y rezo porque todo negro en América que tenga derecho al sufragio, lo utilice en favor de ALFRED E. SMITH en esta campaña. Deedé mi posición, yo se lo que hablo Recordado pues negros que vivión desde la cual yuen se lo que lhan en estudio serio y científico de las que he comparado con más de los E.E. se estudiado por espacio de catorce hay un arreglo político por el cual la dietíneque exerminadas como unicoiecto Presidente de los Estados Unidos el negro durante su tenura pendremos que considerar tal hombre lo?

Hoover, quien solo ve el mundo, tal es pues su punto de vista. no sean hombres egoistas; hombreos grupos; nas lo que se necesitan s que aun en la especiaria humana no poado, y si mas bien porque todos secaños. Tal hombre, creo lo ha仑 al Alfred E. Smith, Gobernador del cauan militariles. Presidente para una república que tiene influenciasundo. pues negros que vivis en America, que cual y son lo que hibio y lo que escribio y científico de las políticas y conducto con más de los Estados Unidos de Aor es espacio de catorce años de permanente política por el cual las razas negras del términadas como unidad racial en el minuto de los Estados Unidos de America, y durante su tenura presidencial. Por lo considerar tal hombre seriamente, y durante que ne se lo daremos. Quo ninguna apelación os influenciaais que ninguna apelación en beneficio de dar vuestro sufragio a favor de Hoover, mujeres, firmes y determinados en nodado por el partido republicano. Demos al hombre: votemos por Al Smith. Hard destino por los cuatro años venideros a pueblo, antes que dar nuestro voto a un niño solo ve el mundo hajo un punto capita su punto de vista. El mundo necesita ces egoistas; hombres que representan lo que se necesitan son hombres de ampesi humana no porque pertenezca a unien porque todos seanos considerados hijos, creó lo ha encontrado America en Gobernador del estado de New York. Presidente para la República masque tiene influencias poderosisimas en Recordad pues negros que vivis en America, que domino uno posición desde la cual yon se lo que habió y lo que escribo. He completado un estudio serio y científico de las políticas y conductas de Europa, las que he comparado con las de los Estados Unidos de America las cuales he estudiado por espacio de catorce años de permutación, cu ese país Hay un arreglo político por el cual las razas negras del mundo seran compiúnte exterminadas como unidad racial en el mundo. Y si el sable electo Presidente de los Estados Unidos de America, no habrá esperanza para el negro durante su tenura presidencial. Por lo tanto, Porque tendremos que considerar tal hombre seriamente, y darle nuestro sufragio? Seguramente que no se lo daremos. No permitais que ninguna apelación en bienecio del partido republiicano os haga dar vuestro sufragio a favor de Hoover. Sed por alguna vez, hombres y mujeres, firmes y determinados en nodejur que una vez más seis engañado por el partido republicano. Demos nuestro voto, no al partido; sino al hombre: votemos por Al Smith. Harenos mejor,合ando, nuestro destino por los cuatro años venideros a Alfred Smith, un hombre del pueblo, antes que dar nuestro veto a un plutocracta como Mr. Hoover; quien solo ve el mundo hajo un punto capitalista e imperialista, tal es pues su punto de vista. El mundo necesita LEADERS que no sean hombres egosistas; hombres que representan solamente giertos grupos; nas lo que se necesitan son hombres de amplia humanidades, que amen la especiaria humana no porque pertenezca a un color determinado, y si más bien porque todos sean considerados hijos de un mismo Dios. Tal hombre, creo lo en encontrado America en la persona de Alfred E. Smith, Gobierno del estado de New York. Tal hombre hondum miseriliana Presidente para la República más grande de hoy, una república que tiene influencias poderosisimas en las políticas del mundo. Los Negros Americanos deben economizar Vosotros, negros de America podeis hacer mucho para salvar la raza toda y ayudar a redimirnos como compete a un pueblo capaz y responsable de si mismo. Creo firmenemente que si Smith es electo, el dará recibida consideración a los gritos, no solamente de los negros del Africas sino también de Africa también para una nivelación de sus derechos; Votemos por Smith; y liamo la atención de los miembros de la U. N. I. A. que no solamente vote por Smith, sino que trabaja por la elección de Smith. "Ve por los rincones y obstruye" y trabaja para traer los votantes a los colegios de manera que el gobierno de New York pueda palm triunfantic cuq millones de votos en esta elección. Este es más apelación vosotros. Arribe con Smith y abajo con Hoover! Vosotros, negros de America piza toda y ayudar a redimirnos conmable de sí mismo. Creo firmes hida consideración a los gritos, no no también de Africa también pa potemos por Smith; y lamo la aite A. que no solamente vote por Smith. "Ve por los rincones y tantes a los colegio de manera que trinquen con millones de v apelación vosotros, Arribe con Todo el mundo negros de America podeis hacer mucho más a redimirnos como compete a un puroismo. Creo firmenemente que si Smith e lação a los gritos, no solamente de los nexos Africa también para una nivelación de Smith; y lamo la atención de los miembrosamente vote por Smith, sino que trabaje por los rincones y obstruye" y trabaja llegó de manera que el gobernador de Mau millionadas de votos en esta elección nosotros. Arribe con Smith y abajo con Todo el mundo debe trabirla Si en las divisiones locales que operan en los Estados Unidos bajo la U.N. L.A hay algún miembro que escuda los esfuerzos de votar por Smith debe ser suspendido y hasta expelarse de la organización, por que hay en ello un "issue" vital en vuelto, pos consiguiente, todo negro, que votare por Hoover esta votando en contra de sus raza, es dealear a la causa de su raza negra, y no debería estar registrado en la U. N. F. A. Nosotros somos enfaticos. No nos escondamos para decir la verdad. Votamos por Smith por ser Smith quien es. Estamos en contra de Hoover por la explotación que se lleva a cabo de nueras mujeres y hombres negros-neglas en Liberia. El también es responsable por la angustiosa situación actual que opera en Hati. Porque ha de pensar el negro en ayudar a un hombre de la calaña de este Hoover para la Presidencia de los Estados Unidos de America? Pongamos en record nuestra disiestificación. Pongamos en record nuestra falta de fe e inconformidad por el trats del partido republicano para con nuestra raza. Hagamosle saber somos hombres de opinión y de determinada voluptu. nada mejor para nosotros que esta oportunidad en esta campaña electoral que pongamos de manifiesto nuestra opinión.

HERNANDEZ La actitud de la actual administración de Washington para con los países Latinos Americanos, no puede ser más erronea desde el punto de vista de los que aspiran a estrechar algún día las relaciones de amistad de las dos Americas. Los periodicos hacen en estos días grandes elogios de las buenas relaciones comerciales que sostienen en medio de una completa cordialidad, con el territorio del Canada. En el Canada nos limitamos a propagar la cordialidad comercial con grandes beneficios para ambos países, más en cambio en México hacemos política, y nos olvidamos de que el territorio de México nos ofrece, a poco de que lo cultivemos, un hermoso campo para el desarrollo comercial de este país. Los ultimos acontecimientos demuestra que México de enctenatra dispuesto a responder a una nota política de decretate cordialidad como la que ha iniciado el actual Embajador Dwight Morrow. "Otrip hombre del calibre de este hace fakala ahora en Colombia" —thee "The Nation" el organo de la opinión liberal en el país. "Y resaltaria de gran utilidad el mandar mo tambien a Venezuela. Este país durante los ultimos años, ha desarrollado una enorme riqueza en petrolero, hace tres años apenas ni se contabalan el para nada, hoy en dia conpie con Rusia por-ocurar el segundo lugar como país producer del ricco perturbador liquido, siendo actualmente su exportacion mayor la de Mexico. Colombia que en 1924 exportab 447,744 harrires de petroleo, exporto en 1927 la cantidad de 760,797, y si contara con mayores facilidades, como tanques y tuberias, exportaria mucho más. Cogno es natural, los Tiburones del petroleo han hecho de las suyas, ya estan en disputa con el gobernio de Colombia, y como los Tiburones son americanos estan hacerse esterzos por conseguer que el departamento de estado les saque las castinas del fuego, haciendoles bueno su latifundio. -El gobernio colombiano ha publicado un decreto reinfirman el acto de los tribunales de justicia que han anulado y quencado por fraudulenta la concepción del "Barco" la cual abarea Cineo Millones de Acres de tierra poterlas. El famoso Mister Mellon y su familia están muy interesados en este negocio por mediación de la Gulf Oil Co., situado este nombre de la firma concesionaria, y la Gulf Oil ahora le pide al ministerio Americano en Bogotá, su mediación a fin de que se lepermite el presentar nuevos documentos para probar sus titulos. El gobierno de Colombia ha contestado energicamente notificando al gobierno americano, diciendo que Bogota no permitía que Washington se meta en sus asuntos domésticos. El Secretario de Estado de este país contesta con igual energía, afirmando su derecho a intervenir para proteger los intereses y derechos de propiedad de sus sitibitos. Resultado de esto, es un recrudecimiento del sentimiento antiangranciano, y el principio de una prolongada disputa. El Embajador Mierro y his convencido a los mexicanos que amos los Diplomáticos Yankis pueden ser caballeros, los necesario pues, encontrar un hombre como el para nuestra Secretaria de Estado. El dirigible más grande del mundo, orgullo de *Alemania*, producto del genio inventor del Coude Zepelin, acaba de aterrizar felizmente en Lakehurst, New Jersey, después de un viaje de cinco días a través del océano, sorten temporales y borrascas desde que salió de Friedrichshafen. El Graf Zeppelin supero los records de distancia y de resistencia establecidos por resistencias acreas livianas. Fué pilotado por el cabrère doctor Hugo Eckner, el mismo aeronauta que trajo el Los Angeles hace cuatro años. Con el doctor Eckner llegaron en cincuenta passajeros el resto la 'heroa tripulación. Entre las distinguidas personalidades a bordo, arrribaron el ministro del Interior prusiano Albert Irzesniski; Teniente coroneel C. E. Rosenthal, comandante del Los Angeles; U. S. Navy; Lady Drummond Hay, la unica mujer pasajera; Coronel Hennel Herrera, del ejército canadieno y el yelero del Conde Zeppelin. El gigante del espacio mide 770 pies de largo por 100 de ancho; es propulsado por cinco motores poderosos de 450 ceballot de fuerza cada uno y está equipado comfortably para el servicio de pasaje. La larga travesía del Graf Zeppelin constituyó un veredadero y emocionante drama. La prensa de todos los países ha comentado la hazaña acreen, más sensacional de todas las ejecuciones.

FLYERS All Divisions and Chapters are hereby notified that we have in stock the following supplies that are necessary for the proper carrying on of the work: PEKING.—General Ho Chi-kung, the Nationalist, Mayor of Peking, has campaigned for China's birthplace. He was indignant at the discovery that China's population had remained stationary at 400,000,000 for more than 200 years. Mayor Ho, a Chinese scholar, about thirty years old, says that, according to a census taken in the days of Emperor Chien Lung, there were 400,000 Chinese then. Though more than two centuries have passed, yet China's population is still recorded at 400,000,000, while the populations of the three Great Britain, Japan, Russia, Germany and France have shown remarkable increases. The Mayor attributes this partly to the backward state of Chinese medical science, which has permitted a high mortality rate to develop among the poorer class. Biblical City Found By U. S. Explorers JERUSALEM—In its endeavors to locate the places mentioned in the Bible the American School of Oriental Research has now, unassured ancient Dwir, referred to in Scripture either under that name or the name of Kiyath Sefar. The latter means "Town of the Book," and one opinion therefore has it that in the time of the Hebrew kings the state archyves were kept there. Various indications led Professor P. W. Albright, director of the institute, to assume that the lost town must have been situated on the site of Tel Mirsim, near Hersheba. The excavations undertaken by Professor Albright at this spot proved his assumption to have correct. First Folio of Shakespeare Is Coming to United States London, Sept. 25.—What is described as an extremely fine unrecorded copy of the first folio of Shakespeare, dated 1623, has been purchased privately in London this week by Gabriel Wells of New-York and will soon go to the United States. Except that it is in the blue, straight-grained morocco binding of the early philonth century, on which there is a smaller owner's seal, the copy is said to possess all the points necessary to place it in the very first rank. It is perfectly clean and has wide margins. Its pedigree can be traced back to the eighteenth century. It measures 12 15-16 by 8 15-16 inches.

In tracking the "common cold" to wherever it originates John Hephsine University medical scientists will study the disease, sniffles and other "common cold" symptoms and conditions among the members of TSB Baltimore families this winter. Several prominent physicians of the city have been asked to furnish lists of selected families who are being invited to assist in the work. Dr. James A. Doull, associate professor of epidemiology, has granted an invitation to conduct the research. Members of the families who consent to assist the scientists are asked in a letter to assume the following obligations: To notify the Department of Epidemiology, the School of Hygiene and Public Health, of each cold developing among members of the family group. To permit a representative of the department to call at the home to obtain exact information about the cold. To report workly, by means of a supplied post card, the non-occurrence of colds in the household. To arrange with the authorities to have a single nose and throat examination of each member of the household during health by a member of the otolaryngological staff of John Hopkins Hospital, these examinations to be made by special appointment and at the expense of the John J. Abel Fund. The entire research work on the cause of colds is made possible by a gift of $185,000 made by the Chemical Foundation of New York. England's Richest Man Sir David, Yule, the head of the great Calcutta firm of merchants, died last week in his 70th year.

Sir David was born in Edinburgh and when little more than a boy, wary out to Valletta to join his uncle's firm. When the business came under his control, it grew rapidly, with interests embracing late, coal, tea, and shipping. MRS.

The Leader Carries On And We Must Follow. Long have I been convinced that "the Universal, Negro improvement Association, of which the Hon. Marcus Garvey is the founder and President General, is indispensable to the Negro race." At first the race was dormant, but now we are glad to say that some have awakened, and are, now climbing towards the height of nationhood. The U. N. I. A. has reached the point that, not even the hosts, of hell can stop its growth. When our leader wag sent to prison, some believed that; there would have been a failure; but I never doubted, as I know that all great reformers must either meet death, or imprisonment. He pursued us, and he pursued our course when the prison gate now open and set the mirrore gate. Where is it today? He to be found in Europe, interceding for the Race, and best of all, has faced the battle front of Genoa with a petition to be all. The dodd, we owe him cannot be paid. Towards our great leader will now say, "when the storm of life is raising ground as usual and smile at the storm!" "May God bless and keep him and also the Lord." Association that he has built. The time he comes will we can stand man-made and sing." All the storms will soon be over. When we'll anchor in the harbor. We are out on the ocean sailing. To our home beyond the tide. SIMON A. TAYLOR. Sigma in Grande, Cuba. To the Editor of The Negro World: No Negro living in this twentieth century can dispute the leadership of the Hon. Marcellus Garvey and he counted its sons. It is only a small thing to say that the Race needs such leadership to pilot us through the great camarade, injustice, economic stalemation and brutal segregation in which we find ourselves. Are Negroes prepared to cut themselves loose from this entanglement? Should we forfeit our nearby freedom—which our forefathers had given us—or are now providing the last mortgage, and allow our manhood to trail in the dust? Emphatically, no! There are exigencies for the old Negro who had no farseeing leader to follow, but there shall be nothing but unoble stripes for the Negroes who find the right cure for all their ills, if they fail to stop the opportunity. On one hand follows the trend of world events, it seems only a question of a brief time when the need by which hangs these existing structures will snap and live way under its strain, and plunge humanity into a hustle and bustle of war. Well may world-peace traitors hold conferences to outlaw war. Well may the Kellogg's and Friends and the students sign these peace pacts, but HAPPY ARE U READERS ARE Negroes never shall be duped. Africans at home and abroad will continue to clamor for nationalism. Negroes shall no master of themselves in the long run, not only through petitions, but also those in vain for centuries. Not be blamed for their being turned away from those sanctuaries time and again. Not through the praying medium, because our knees are sore from continual kneeling and our hands bruised from the consistent knocking at the mercy seat. But through accumulated forces such as others have used to command them, we have the heights of glory, the cleverness of our minds, opposite hotwithstanding. Leaders, racial and national, and those who profess to hold the deity of the world in their hands, will continue to boycott the op and only way of solving the Negro problem. But they are well aware that if John divides his leaf with Tom who is starving, or gives the latter free access to the bakers, there will be less problems to solve. What good are you doing, crossing oceans signing anti-war pacts and attempting to avert the inevitable, when the root of the evil is being nourished at your doors? Manners begin at home; how much, more do peace, love and harmony? "May it be understood by the powers that be, that we, the "New Negro," under the able leadership of Marcus Garvey, serve notice that not until the world condemns us, to observe the Golden Rule in all its practicability, when all nations become their brothers' keeper; when misguided and strong acknowledge that the weak has as much right to a place in the sun as his more fortunate brother, will the fostering of international peace cease to be a myth. For Negroes to talk about peace now is like a man stepping into his grave and pulling piles of earth over himself. To the contrary let us step out as one man, obeying the command so imperatively given by our leader, "Advance to Victory, Let Africa Be Free." JULIUS RIPPART. Rio Capito, Cuba Anti-Liquor Group Gains Tokyo—The Japanese Temperance League is carrying on an intensive prohibition campaign as its contribution to the celebration of the imperial euthymianment at Kyoto, November 16. Girls are being encouraged to avoid tips that touch sake. Several associations of mindless pledged not to marry sake drinkers have appeared in the neighborhood of Yokohama. The league has official standing, but the Social Affairs Bureau of the Home Office recently gave open approval to propaganda and public demonstration against the use of lioror, a form of alcoholic lager" movement, a purely voluntary system, whereby communities can "take the pledge." BOTH PARTIES CLAIM VICTORY IN NICARAGUA MANAGUA. Oct. 18.—The leaders of both the Liberal and Conservative parties, after analyzing the registration returns of the various departments in the country, are making claims of victory in the. November election. General Jose Moncada, presidential candidate, and other Liberal leaders assert that 91,000 Liberals registered out of a total registration of about 81,000, in the country. This, they assert, will give the Liberals about a 30,000 majority in the election. Conservatives, however, dispute the accuracy of these figures, declaring that the Conservatives will have a majority of at least 8,000 to 15,000. It appears highly improbable that anything like the total number of registrants will cast bills on election day. It is pointed out that only one million of the existing registrants, while five registration days, three Sunday, and the two intervening, Wednesday, enabled practically all the eligible voters of the country to register. In 1941 registrations, totaled 120,000, while only 81,000 votes were cast. On the other hand, it is asserted that many voters were kept from the polls through intimidation in 1974, while many voters were allowed a probability that all votes will be free to cast their ballots under American supervision. Nanking Rebuilding May Require $25,000,000 SHANCHAL—The Nationalist government has decided to spend $22,000 on initial construction designed to make-Nanking a real government center. Most of the departments are now housed in temporary quarters. An effort will be made to raise $17,000,000 through the provincial governments and $7,500,000 from the national treasury.

A commission sent by the Academy of History to investigate what is said by some to be the tomb of Christopher Columbus at Oliva de Jeres, forty-five miles south of Badajoz, reported today that there were traps in the Church of Santa Domingo and mentoes of Columbus. The commission also stated that a number of stones had been found with the inscription: "Here lies Christopherus Sanchez Enriquez, Grand Admiral of the Oceans and the Lands by him discovered. Born 1441." Enriquez is asserted by some to be the real name of Columbus, the Associated Press explains. It adds that after the death of the discoverer his remains were sent to Santo Domingo in 1505. When Spain ceded the island of Santo Domingo to France in 1705 a Spanish commission was sent to remove the remains to Havana. Some authorities claim that by mistake the committee took to Havana the remains of Don Diego, the son of Columbus, and not the discoverer himself. They assert that he is still buried in Santa Dominga. Other authorities say the remains of Columbus were taken to Havana and later, when Cubs was lost to Spain in the war with America, removed to Seville, Spain, and rest in the Cathedral there.
