Marcus Garvey Is Impressed By Change That Has Come Over Negroes Everywhere
Fellowmen of the Negro Race, Greeting: I have returned to the Foreign Headquarters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. On my arrival here at 12:30 A.M. on the 23rd instant I found assembled on the water-front an assemblage of thousands of people, who were gathered at that early hour of the morning to bid us welcome back to Jamaica. It was really a pleasant surprise to see such a congregation of enthusiastic and sincere well-wishers who had remained in waiting for more than eight hours until the ship arrived. When we landed, this vast throng of people paraded from the dock to Liberty Hall, which point was reached at 2 o'clock in the morning.
Great Change Among Negroes
This demonstration is another evidence of the great change that has come over the Negro. It is this change that the unfriendly forces and powers that be have been trying to submerge or thwart, and they have tried at different points to prevent me from visiting the various Negro communities that have invited me to visit them. As you all know, up to recently it was reserved only for white men to receive honor from the black crowd; this crowd has always been keyed up by somebody else to show appreciation for those who had no sympathy or love for them. But, thank God, the time has come when the black millions have realized that if they have any honor to show, it must be shown to their own. I have accepted these honors at the different parts I have been, such as in Canada (Toronto and Montreal); Hamilton, Bermuda; Nassau, Bahamas; and Kingston, Jamaica—not because I am Marcus Garvey, but because I am representing the interest of the Negro people such as they desire that interest to be represented. I fully realize that they have honored me everywhere I have been because I have fully expressed their feelings and their sentiment; therefore the honor that has been shown me will be shown to any black man following me or working with me for the good of the black people.
Negro Appreciates Himself
The attitude of the Negro today in showing appreciation for his own gives the lie to the ancient statement that black men will not honor and respect black men. It is because of the fact that some white men think that honor should be shown only to white men why the narrow-minded white people of Trinidad, Barbadoes and other places in the West Indies have tried to pass special legislation to prevent me visiting those countries where Negroes live. They were just afraid and jealous of the fact that the Negroes would show more respect for their own in those countries as they have done elsewhere; but even the narrow-mindedness of these little white men will not prevent the Negroes of Barbadoes, Trinidad and elsewhere showing that marked appreciation, not only for me but for any black man who will make the effort to lead them as I have done.
Advance Own Thought
The black man has reached the point where he is going to advance his own thought and create his own environment, and it is written in the law of nature—and, may I not say, in the stars of Heaven—that there shall be no power to interfere with nor curtail this desire of the new Negro to appreciate himself.
Canadian Affair
I have observed that a lot of publicity has been given to my supposed arrest in Canada by the Immigration Department of the Dominion Government. I have not made any mention of the matter before because I did not think it necessary, but in view of the fact that there have been so many interrelations placed upon the matter, I think it excellent to make a statement. As everybody knows, I was invited to sail from England for my home in Jamaica via Canada, where I had already made arrangements so most

ISSUES STATEMENT ON WHAT HAPPENED IN CANADA, AND WHY, A FEW WEEKS AGO
Calls Upon All Branches of the Organization to Give Hearty Support to the Parent Body
the American representatives of the organization at Toronto on the 2nd of November. I landed at Quebec on the night of the 27th of October and was handed a landing permit by the immigration authorities without any question. My going to Canada was not a secret—it was known in Canada several months before, as well as in the United States. In fact, I was advertised extensively in Montreal and Toronto to speak and appear at those places long before I arrived. I traveled from Southampton, England, to Quebec aboard the steamship Empress of Scotland, in company with the Hon. McKenzie King, Premier of Canada, who was a fellow-passenger. Mr. King and I shook hands before leaving the ship, so that my going to Canada was well known to the authorities of the country. I was booked to speak in Montreal on Tuesday night, the 30th of October, and it was known that I would speak in favor of Governor Alfred Smith, which speech would have been reported the next morning in the papers of the United States of America. Certain local political influences in Montreal, working in conjunction with certain political forces in America, decided on the plan that they would prevent me from speaking, so that what I might say would not be published in America prior to the election. Therefore, the Immigration Department issued a warrant for my detention on the technical matter of my entry into Canada, and this warrant was served just a half-hour before the hour of the meeting in Montreal. This I fully interpreted to have been done so as to prevent me from reaching the meeting that night. The next morning I was released and the matter ended. I am not holding the Government of Canada responsible for the arrest that evening, because I feel confident of the fact that the superior authorities knew nothing of the matter. At the hearing the next morning before the Immigration Board in Montreal, the commissioners admitted that they did not want to create any feeling of ill-will between the Administration at Washington and the Government in Canada by allowing me or anyone to make any speeches that would be misinterpreted as affecting American politics during the election. For that reason, and not desiring to create any embarrassment for Canada, being a British subject, and knowing full well the relationship between Canada and the United States, I agreed not to speak publicly during my stay in Canada, during the election. This is all to the matter, and I trust no other interpretation will be placed on it. However, what has happened in Canada only convinces us as Negroes that there is a great need for an Independent Negro Nation.
In the White Man's Country
I am always satisfied with anything the white man does to me in his, the white man's country, because this further convinces me and any black man that the Negro ought to have a country of his own. It matters not what flag you are under, if you do not belong to the dominant power that rules in that particular country, you are just "one of
luck." It is, therefore, imperative that as a majority group of people we should find a country of our own. I want to state that my trip abroad in the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Negro race has brought about wonderful results. I have before me now a magnificent program which we shall make every effort to execute. When this program is executed with the co-operation of every unit of the race, I feel sure that we shall enter upon a new era of prosperity.
The Future Bright
I want to inspire the black people the world over to take new courage because the future holds everything that is bright. We must co-operate, we must unite, we must pull together. Whether we are from Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, New York or Illinois in the United States, Barbadoes, Trinidad, Jamaica, Haiti or Cuba in the West Indies, British Guiana in South America, or British Honduras in Central America, or any of the Central American Republics, or from Africa, we must realize that we have a common cause. It is no longer for the world to ask, "Where you are from, Black Man?" It is just that you are black. It is imperative now that all of us get together; stand together, pull together, and if need be, die together in the great urge to emancipate ourselves the world over, economically, politically, industrially, commercially, religiously, educationally and otherwise to deliver our common country, Africa, and make of it an Independent Nation, self-respecting and powerful enough to demand the respect of all other nations and governments of the world for the black man.
If the black people of the world will co-operate and keep united I prophesy that we are in the Age of the Black Man. As I have stated before, if little insignificant groups of people through organization have constituted themselves national and imperial forces such as Belgium, Portugal and Spain, there is no reason why 400,000,000 black people through organization should not constitute themselves one of the great powers of the world. This is what must be done, and we are going to do it. We are going to do it in a constitutional manner without any offense to constitutional law and order. We are going to demand our rights as human beings. I am again asking the Negro everywhere to help toward this end.
Everybody Must Report
I am asking for every division's branch's and chapter's hearty support to the Parent Body of the organization between now and the convention. Every division must now line up to make its proper report to the Parent Organization. Every division in the world by the first of January, 1929, must be reporting to the Parent Body. There is no excuse for any division in the world not becoming financial, because we must go to the convention on an equal footing, so I am asking that all members everywhere see to it that their divisions become financial. Every member is also requested to see that his or her annual assessment tax is paid by January, so that everybody, members and divisions, can be right with the great cause that we are representing.
In my next article I shall touch upon another phase of our convention work.
All those who have funds in hand for the daily paper, the "Black Man," which will be started in January, are requested to forward same immediately.
Your, Obedient Servant,
Maran Gany
President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association.

Sir Feme Howard, British Ambassador, speaking at the opening of the new International House at Howard University last week, faced opposing propaganda circulated by students. The propaganda lengthy immequaged documents, bearing the name of George Padmore, described as the secretary of the International Anti-Imperialistic Youths' League, objected to the presence of "imperialists," and declared that the ambassador had played an important part in the deportation of Marcus Garvey, Negro leader, from this country and
Quick Action!

Officials of the school repudiated the documents and declared that Padmore was not enrolled as a student. They described the incident, however, as "student politics."
Sir Esme in his address did not refer to the attack. He stated that he was interested in the occasion as one tending to promote between nations a better understanding of each other's problems. He said that the man who has not had the opportunity to rub shoulders and exchange ideas with men and women of other nations has foregone the most important part of his education.
The ambassador, following the exercises, together with members of the International Club, deans of the various schools, administrative officers and members of the several faculties, was the guest of the university at luncheon.
The purpose of the organization of the International Club was set forth by R. O. Murray, president.
It is the first of its kind sponsored by Negro students, and has one of its objects the elimination, of racial prejudices in international understandings, and development of interracial good will.
It will aim to sustain close contact with international organizations of the world, and expects, to provide a fund with which to send delegates to world conferences.
In the International House are quartered both native and foreign-born students. The house was made possible by subscriptions of friends, principally from New York, the funds having been raised by student members of the organization.
Howard University has 156 foreign students enrolled, 156 of whom are from British colonies and protectorates in Africa, Central America and South America.
Ofters of the International Club are: R. D. Murray, president; S. mamaea; Alexander W. Dumss, vice president; Mississippi; Walter Merick, composing; secretary. Denied: Louis Young, secretary. Secretary, Maryland; Julian Branch, treasurer, Barraudes; Charles A. Cabiniss, chapman, Canada.
Would Make 'Jim-Crow' Ward Of New St. Louis Hospital
Would Make 'Jim-Crow' Ward Of New St. Louis Hospital
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (CNS).—The Board of Aberdeen and the Public Welfare Committee on Friday unanimously approved a measure which would locate the proposed hospital north of and adjoining the main city hospital for whites. This would appeal an ordinance passed several years ago, logging the new institution in the heart of the Negro district. The repeal measure, it is clearly understood, is for the purpose of "reducing" the proposed $1,200,000 hospital to a Jim-Crow ward, adjacent to the white institution, and the abolishing of the Negro doctors, nurses and superintendents.
Mayor for Jiro-Crow
Victor J. Miller, Mayor of St. Louis has been unalterably opposed to the plans of the Negroes to the extent that he stubbornly refused to release the funds with which to build a new hospital provided for in the passage of the bond issue. Individually, Miller is a candidate for re-election. Negroes voted for the passage of the bond issue with the understanding that they would get a new hospital to be manned by Negroes. While Miller has argued for the role adjacent to the white hospital on the pretext that it could be operated more cheaply and would have better facilities it is well known to the majority of the Negroes here that the motive of joining the hospital to the main institution is, primarily, to have the Negro patients serve as clinical material for the several white medical schools.
16-YEAR-OLD BOY FIGHTS OFF 200; WOUNDS 9 MEN
CHICAGO, Dec. 14 (CNN)----For five hours 200 policemen barricaded behind furniture seized in nearby apartments fired into one poor alley apartment on the near Northside here with a steady stream of bullets and other projects from machine guns, revolvers, automatics, shotguns and rifles, teargas, bombs were hurled and hand grenades of fish explosives were flung into the alley window.
Finally an entry was effected and a volley of bullets shot into the enemy. The enemy was sixteen-year-old Ernest Wickhurst, a Negro boy, who became triggered early in the day because he knew of horrible brutalities visited upon Negro workers arrested by the Chicago police, and who had heard he was to be arrested, having been accused of breaking a plate-glass window. So he barricaded himself in his apartment with a gun, and sold his life as deadly, as he could, wounding one of the army of 200 or more policemen sent against him before he fell, riddled with more than 30 bullets.
Mary, one of the youth's brightened sisters, a cripple, in the end admitted the police through the door they had safely tried to batter down. The sisters and brothers had crushed beneath their beds while bullets were pouring in through the windows. As the girl opened the door slightly a sound, led by Deputy Commissioner John Steger of the Detective Bureau, Deputy Commissioner Mullan, Detective Chief John E. Gan and Lieutenant William Cussak, all carrying steel goblets, made a rush for it. Wickhurst was waiting with his gun leveled, Acting Sergeant Thomas Connelly stepped from behind his shield and fired a shot into the Negro's head. A volley from the others followed, and he fell with thirty bullets in his body.
When the police broke into the apartment they had been so indisciplinously bombarding and showering with bullets it was seen that Ernest had given the heat and soot places, the closet and behind the barricade made in one corner with a bed, to his older sister and three small brothers. An infant sister was wrapped in the manacles of the bed.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Martin Mullen and Commissioner of Police William Russel personally directed the five-hour bombardment.
The besieged house was riddled with bullets, every window was broken and the walls and ceilings practically shot away.
Afghans Declare Truce
PESHHAWAR. Dec. 11. Afghan officials and rebellious Shinwari tribesmen have declared a truce and are holding peace parleys, according to advisers reaching this city. The Shinwari have been leading a rebellion against the government because of hostility to King Amanullah's attempts to introduce Western customs and dress. The rebels attacked a number of cities and did considerable damage before being dispersed by government armies. It was estimated 1,000 tribesmen were killed.
JACKSON, Rise, Dec. 14—Perry W. Howard, Republican National Committeeman for Mississippi, and four co-defendants charged with violating the Federal Patronage Conspiracy Act were acquitted here today after an all night and morning session. Others set free were: Dr. S. D. Redmond, chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee; his brother, A. M. Redmond, and Ed L. Patton, a veteran Negro politician who has attended every Republican National Convention in twenty-five years.
One result of the verdict will be that the white Republican faction, led by Liamont Rowlands, U. S. Gordon, Charles Sheldon and L. O. Crosby, will fall in their effort to oust Howard as Republican National Committeeman for this State. Howard has no intention of resigning and there is no possible way of bringing about his removal.
Suspended from Post
Whether or not Attorney General Sargent will redistribute Howard as his assistant remains to be seen. Other Indictments are pending, but it is generally believed the Department of Justice picked its strongest case, and that all further efforts to convict them will be futile.
After Howard was indicted at the special term of Federal Court last July, when the charges against him were presented by Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, special assistant to the Attorney General, he was suspended from his office at Washington. Later the Republican National Committee recognized the so-called white faction of the Republican party in this State, and put Lamont Rowlands, millionaire south Mississippi, lumberman, in charge of the Hoover campaign.
Despite the expenditure of a large sum of money, for speakers and campaign literature, Rowland and his associates succeeded in capturing only about 27,000 votes. The Howard faction probably could have done better, since an overwhelming majority of the qualified Negro voters remained away from the polls in resentment over the dethronement of Howard.
Didn't Believe Witness
DIDN'T BELIEVE WITNESS.
Several jurors stated frankly that they played no confidence in the testimony of the chief government witness, Angela P. Russell of Magge, former United States Marshal, who swore he held the Negroes $2,000 for that office, $1,400 of which was given to Perry Howard in the latter's office in Washington. There was little corroboration of Russell's testimony, save by way of circumstantial evidence, and the statements of his brother, A. S. Russell. Jurors said they not only did not believe the Russels, but they thought the Negro politicians had been exceptionally good to the brothers, and they did not have much respect, for informers, any way.
A. P. Russell escaped indictment, having taken an immunity bake when Mrs. Willebrand brought him before the Grand Jury at Biloxi, and brought out the story of how he had got the United States Marshalship. Scott Hubbard, a friend and neighbor, from whom he was alleged to have borrowed $2,000 with which to purchase the office, was jointly indicted with the four Negro defendants.
Only One Ballot
The jury was evidently never in doubt concerning Perry Howard's innocence. He was acquitted on the first ballot after the jury retired Thursday night, and on the second ballot the vote was 11 to 4 for acquittal of the other defendants.
The oral instructions given by Judge Holmes were to the officer that Howard could not be convicted of killing $1,500 in Washington, as Russell claimed, because that alleged offense took place in the District of Columbia, and this court was without jurisdiction, unless the jury also believed from the evidence that Howard had knowledge of the conspiracy to violate the patronage act.
Howard made an admissible witness in his own behalf. He was well polished, frank, straightforward and good humored throughout the grilling cross-examination by Lester G. Fant of Holly Springs, Assistant District Attorney. His attitude was that of a witness having nothing whatever to conced.

He bought a partnership in a hotel at Calimara, nearest Cuban port to the United States Naval Station at Guantanamo. The establishment will be run under his name, but Uncle Alec will have nothing to do but sit in a comfortable rocker on the beachcrest awnent porch.
THE NEW YORKER
EXTENDS AFRICAN TEST ON SLEEPING SICKNESS
Dr. Warren K. Stratman-Thomas, 25-year-old scientist, leader of an expedition to Africa to conduct researches into sleeping sickness, has extended the scope of his studies to three European possessions, it was announced yesterday, by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and the Parke-Davis Research Laboratories, co-backers of the expedition.
Henry Allen Moe, secretary of the foundation, said Dr. Stratman-Thomas had written from Africa that he was eager to obtain additional sleeping sickness patients, so that he could subject drugs which he had brought from America to a complete test.
"Dr. Stratman-Thomas now is working in the capitals of the Belgian Congo and French Equatorial Africa," Mr. Moe said. He is also planning to treat a series of cages in Rhodesia.
He is apparently encouraged by the tests which he has made thus far, and intends to adopt a hygienic campaign as well, using Drug 115, which was developed at the University of Wisconsin. If he is successful in proving that a cure for sleeping sickness has been found, it will be an event equal in importance to the discovery of a new continent, for it will open up a large part of Africa to industry and commerce." The scientist left New York last August with 18,000 doses of the six new drugs which had been developed. Additional doses will be sent to him, it was said.
Negro Churches Total 1,000 More in 10 Years, Religion Census Shows
Negro Churches Total 1,000 More in 10 Years, Religion Census Shows
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 19.—The Department of Commerce announces that, according to the returns received, there were in the United States in 1926 42,556 churches, with a colored membership of 4,293,257, as compared with 39,552 churches and 4,602,505 members in 1916.

Two of the denominations reported at the census of 1916 composed exclusively of colored members, have gone out of existence. The data for both census periods, relates to churches composed entirely of Nego members, and the membership reported does not include Nego members belonging to local white churches.
"At the census of 1926 the total expenditures were $43,024,239, as compared with $18,529,827 in 1918. Under this item are included the amount expended for salaries, repairs, etc., for payments on church debt; for benevolence, including home and foster missions; for denominational support, and for all other purposes.
The value of church edifices in 1926 was $205,782,828, as compared with $86,609,970 in 1916. This item includes any building used mainly for religious services, together with the land on which it stands and all furnishings and furnishments owned by the church and actually used in connection with church services. It does not include buildings hired for religious services or those used for social or organization work in connection with the church."

FRENCH GENERAL
SLAIN IN CLASH
WITH MOROCCANS
PARIS, Dec. 11.—A French general and two other army officers were killed in an ambush of their automobile by rebel natives in Southern Algeria on the road between Colombo-Bochac and Beh Aibos, according to dispatches reaching Paris tonight.
Two other members of the party were wounded and one was missing, it was stated.
The affray took place Saturday, but because the rebels had cut the telegraph wires word did not reach the French posts until today. Strong expeditions were organized for pursuit of the handlers.
Governor General Pierre Bordes of Algeria left at once for Colombo-Bochac, accompanied by the commanding general of the Nineteenth Army Corps, who will conduct investigations. Those killed were General, Clavery, commander in the district of Atn Sefra; Captains Pasquet and Debenne and two commanded men.
General Clavery was returning from a tour of inspection of the French troops and the officers were accompanying him in two automobiles. When the car reached a point in the region of Tahiti, about sixty-seven miles south of Colombi-Bechar, it was surprised by a fascade. The French officers fired in return and were joined by the occupants of the second car, which added in the resistance.
20 Tribesmen Trap General and Party
PARIS, Dec. 13 — Strongous guerrilla warfare is under way in southern Morocco between French troops, assisted by airplanes, and 200 unsupported tribesmen, as a result of the ambush and massacre of nine of a party of eleven French officers and soldiers, including a general, in a mountain pass near Colomb-Bechar.
The planes are training machine gun fire on scattered groups of tribesmen and the ground forces already have engaged in one sharp skirmish, according to reports received in Paris tonight from army headquarters in Algeria.
Although only twenty tribesmen laid the ambushcode which trapped General Claverie, Caprona Pasquet and De Benne, and eight subordinates returning from an inspection tour, scouts learned that the band was only part of a tribe of 200 which had come up from the southwest to get arms and booty.
Led by the Second African Aviation Squadron, the Saharan cavalry and Foreign Legion detachments throughout the Bohemia Valley started pursuit of the tribe several days ago. As the wire communications in the district have been down for several days after a storm, adequate reports of their activities had not been received until today.
Last night another patrol took four prisoners, but, according to, reports here, they are members of another dislodged tribe than that involved in the original massacre.
The son of General Chaverie, an officer under his father's command, has emerged as the hero of the engagement. He had been with his father on the inspection tour when on December 5 the first automobile of parity, containing the general and two non-combatant officers, came into the amphibious is an unarmored point in both sides of the approach war, successive of the fate of the amphibious was admitted in the wading operations. The third war, his sixth battle, he joined and the amphibious was sent after these operations had been made. Command Do more was apparently exhibited in the pursuit of the enemy.
GRANT LANDER TOUCHED by Remarkable Welcoming Demonstration, Unequaled in the Island's History—Thousands Lined Front and Paraded at 3 A.M. All Kingstones on Tiptoe Throughout the Day
GIVEN GREAT OVATION AT LIBERTY HALL
At Monster Mass Meeting in Ward Theatre He Tells of His European Activities and Reasserts His Determination to Be Content with Nothing Less Than Equality of Opportunity for the Race
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Nov. 24.—News that the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of the World, would be arriving in Jamaica aboard the S. S. "Canadian Forrester" on Thursday, the 22d, spread like wildfire throughout the length and breadth of the corporate area of Kingston and St. Andrew. It was the chief topic of the day. From an early hour a crowd started to assemble in the streets and within the precincts of Liberty Hall to await the arrival of the great reformer and prophet of African redemption. Every now and then some one would drop in at headquarters to inquire if anything definite was known about the time of landing. The all-important question, "What time will the chief land?" could be heard on every side; and as the moments sped by the joyousness of the interrogator mingled with an anxiety bordering on emotion reached its climax when it was announced around 8 o'clock that the most prominent and greatest black man of the age would land at night. The announcement was greeted with a shout of ecstasy that rent the air; and the surging mass all agro thinned out as men, women and children wended their way towards the pier. All roads led to the Jamaica Fruit and Shipping Company's wharf.
New Poison Gas Of Deadly Power Found by Science
CHICAGO, Dec. 14.—Scientists have invented a poison gas that will obliterate armies and a metal twice as strong as steel but only half as heavy as aluminum, a combination with which the world might be destroyed. Dr. Hilton Ira Jones, research chemist, told the Executives' Club at the Sherman Hotel today.
He talked renethetically about the new poison gas, which, he said, is called encodyl isocyanide, because, he said, the government had made it known that it does not wish to have the subject discussed. He said it is a gas so deadly that although it is in the possession of all the great nations of the world, the rulers and military leaders would hesitate to start using it because of its terrible effects.
"It is a deadly poison and would destroy armies as a man might snuff out a cannon," Dr. Jones said. "I do not believe the nations of the world want to use it for warfare, simply because it always kills. I believe that they are seeking a gas that will incapacitate men but not kill them.
"War," he went on, "if it comes again and is to be deadly, will never again be fought with shot and shell. It can't be, for it is too much cheaper to destroy life wholesale with this new gas. It may be manufactured at the rate of thousands of tons a day and it costs much less than powder and cannon, yet it will destroy armies more thoroughly, more effectively and more quickly.
"Perhaps this sounds terrible. I will agree it does. Nevertheless, it is fast and we must face it. That is one reason why I say I do not believe nations will use it—they will want something that will stop armies for a time but not kill them."
Then Dr. Jones tossed on the table a little cylindrical piece of metal that looked as if it might have been cut from a bar of cold-coiled steel, and said:
"There is another recent discovery that metal is called beryllium and it will revolutionize some industries, particularly the airplane industry. It has two times the toughness of steel yet it weighs only a fraction as much it weighs about one-half as much as aluminum. It is so hard it will cut glass; you cannot scratch the surface with a sharp file.
"One might build a 400-horsepower airplane motor of that metal and it would be so light that a man could easily pick it up and walk away with."
San Domingo Claim To Columbus Denied
SAN JUAN, P. R., Dec. 12. The bones of Columbus do not repose in the Cathedral of San Domingo City, but in Havana, asserted Walker M. St. Elfo here today.
Mr. St. Elmo, who has resided in San Domingo for more than twenty years and who is now en route to Spain, opposes a project launched in San Domingo 'to have a Columbus monument lighted there and made a shrine for the bones now reposing in the cathedral.
The point-up, exultation of the mighty throng which gathered at the waterfront, to welcome the illustrious son of the soil and man, with backbone whom they delight to honor, vented itself—a great cheer went up from among them as the good ship steamed majestically into sight, bearing the greatest personage of its human freight accompanied by his devoted wife and private secretary. As she turned her, prow, towards the shoreside and glided swanlike upon the calm waters of the Caribbean to dock, the great man of vision could be seen on the right of his wife, leaning on the rails of the lower deck, and exchanging greetings by waving his cap and smiling broadly. Under the phosphorescent glow of an enchanting moonlight, the good ship dropped anchor one hour after midnight and the multitude that stood without it to welcome him brook forth into shout and song. Lustily and heartily their voices blended to the tune of "Listen to the Votes of Garvey, the Negrus Friend," and "God Bless Our President," which reverberated through the stillness of the morning and held the approach of the greatest character of the black race and foremost Negro leader. A procession of Black Cross nurses, motor cars, and a Guard of Honor of Legions, under the command of Colonel Sam L. Gibson, headed by the Drum and Fife Band, was drawn up inside the wharf premises half an hour before the ship docked.
Among the Welcomers
There were relatives, frigors, members and well-wishers of the organization waiting to welcome the President-General on the pier. Among those who went aboard to pay their respects and welcome the Hon. Marcus Carvey, wife, and private secretary, were Lady Hemmett Vinton Davis, the Rev. Commissioner S. M. Jones, Mr. Charles D. Johnson, president of the Kingston Division; Col. Sam E. Gibson, Messrs. D. E. Williams, treasurer, Kingston Division; A. R. A. Lecy, S. M. DeLoon, C. A. Patterson, J. Coleman Becher, Jocelyn Jacques, Emustace R. White, secretary, St. Andrew's Chapter; Mrs. Jestina Gunter, Lady President Kingston Division, and Miss Gladys M. Warren, corresponding secretary to the-President-General.
At the foot of the gangway, Messrs. Becher and Johnson who escorted the President-General halted, and, doffing their hair, gave three hearty cheers. The mighty throng along the waterfront, anxiously waiting to see the famous leader of four-hundred million Negroes pass by, cheered and cheered, and when the cheering had subsided, the band began to play "God Bless Our President."
After acknowledging the salute and inspecting the uniform ranks, the Hon. Marcus Carvey motorized to Liberty Hall where he was given a great ova-Continued on page 5.

By Presenting the Truth to the Negro, the Founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association Provided Him With Amor Against the Injustices of the Oppressor—Hue. Ebisher Is Encouraged by Loyalty of Units—Mr. Smith'Says Leader Is Functioning 100 Per Cent According to Plan
NEW YORK, LIBERTY HALL, Sunday Night, December 16. The faithful in New York turned out in their hundreds tonight, and, judging by the enthusiasm evinced, enjoyed to the full the inspirational feast served up for them by their leaders. Presiding over the meeting was the Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the President-General, and supporting him were Hon. M. L. T. de Mena-Ebimber, Asst. International Organizer, and the officers of the New York Local.
A splendid concert program was presented, to which the Universal Choir and the Universal Band contributed in very commendable style, after which Mr. Knox made the announcements. The speech-making was in the hands of Mr. Knox, Mme. Ebimber and Mr. J. Smith, a New York stalwart, who just returned from a visit to Jamaica, evoked much enthusiasm as he told of the impressions he had gained of the splendid manner in which the Hon. Marcus Garvey was conducting the work of the organization and of the whole-hearted loyalty of the people of the leader's island home to him—a loyalty which was nothing short of hero-worship.
The first to speak, Mr. Smith, in his characteristically blunt style, reaffirmed his unshakable belief in the complete, ultimate success of the movement, and recalled with evident relish the many signs of uneasiness which the powers-that-be were displaying in connection with the Association. The only solution for the Negro-problem, he declared, was acceptance by the Negro of the leadership of Marcus Garvey, who, he was convinced, was the greatest statesman of the age. As soon as Negroes, no matter where domiciled, under whatever government, followed the leadership of Marcus Garvey, the problem of the Negro race was solved. It was a great joy to him to look into the face of Marcus Garvey, a pleasure which had been denied him for many, many months, and see written there all the old-time determination and grief. The affair of the Negro race, he said, were undeniably in safe and strong hands with Marcus Garvey at the helm, and all that was needed of the rank and file was the same unfailing loyalty and confidence that had been exhibited in the past.
MME. EBIMBER'S ADDRESS
MME. EBIMBER'S ADDRESS
M. L. M. T. L. Mee-Bimber, Assistant International Organizer was the next speaker. She began by bringing greetings from the New Haven Division, where, she said, she had that afternoon held a beautiful meeting and where enthusiasm for the cause was running very high indeed. It was very encouraging to note the spirit with which the members were taking hold of the ideas of the President-General of the present time and touching the line with reference to the great international convention that was to take place in Jamaica to organize the organization in general. She had visited quite a few divisions recently and she was gratified to note the ardent desire and determination of the people to go down to Jamaica to attend the Convention next year in order to help show to the world and make it understand once and for all that the Universal Negro Improvement Association was not here on probation, but was here to stay.
Proceeding to speak on "The African at Home and Abroad," Mime Ebibmer drew a picture of the new spirit that had taken hold of the Negro's mind, in that he was prepared, it mattered not where he was reared, to sink old-time sectional differences and unite for the common good. It could not be too often emphasized that this was in the main, if not solely due to the coming and teaching and work of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and she hoped as the months and years went by to see this spirit still further quickened, for African redemption would only be accomplished by the perfect team work of men of color.
HON. E. B. KNOX'S ADDRESS
Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the President-General, spoke briefly about the part the Universal Negro Improvement Association has played in the past, the part it is playing in the present and the assurance that it holds out. in the future in the solution of the Negro problem.
"This is an important organization," he said, "as important in the affairs of the world at this day and time as any other institution" in existence. Pointing a lesson from the season of autumn, he said, "The time for reflection. Soon men would be consulting, with themselves of how best to order their conduct in the future, new resolutions, would soon be in the making, and eyes cast in retrospect. And, in accordance with that mood and thought, it would be

noted from reading the Negro papers that all the Negro leaders were thinking, more about race prejudice now than they ever thought in their lives.
"A Bustaining Philosophy"
One leader, Mr. Kelly Miller, had said recently that what the Negro needed to eliminate race prejudice was a sustaining philosophy. He agreed with Mr. Miller, for it was this commodity that the U. N. I. A, was determined to give the Negro race.
"That," said Mr. Knox, "is what the icon. Marcus Garvey has been telling the Negro through the columns of The Negro Journal. He said that I and I will venture to say without fear of successful contradiction that there is no Negro institution that is seeking to build up a so-called sustaining philosophy, as Mr. Kelly Miller characterizes it, like the Universal Negro Improvement Association."
Truth Will Have a Hearing
Mr. Knox hero evoked applause on the title of the success the organization attended the event, the organization to remove the misunderstanding and raise the can recently imposed on the circulation of The Negro World in Cuba. He was glad to state that the day before he had received a letter from the postal authorities of the Government of Cuba stating that circulation of The Negro World could be re-established there. There was no doubt about it that the truth was working in defense of the Negro people of the world.
Reverting to the term "sustaining philosophy", Mr. Knox defined philosophy as a search after the truth, and drove himself to Negro in his mind to free himself from the injustice of the whites, man so much as the truth, Search where he would, and no greater exponent of the truth could be found than Mercis Gauley.
Mr. Knox here referred to the great value of propropanna and the part it played in the early success of the organization. The organization was now on the threshold of a new epoch, when thanks to the painstaking and comprehensive plans of the famous leader the nox ten years would witness a transformation in the organization and the program of the Association to fruition, and he called upon every member of the movement in America to continue to how to the line and give the program, the organization and its leader their stanchest support.

Science is coming up against a blank wall in the twelfth of biology, and knowledge of evolution will be restricted to its processes and principles. Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn, director of the American Museum of Natural History, said in an address to students of Union Theological Seminary recently. Dr. Osborn talked on "New Discoveries in the Field of Evolution" and reiterated his much-debated stand, taken several years ago, that man is not related to the age.
"The causes of evolution will probably never be known to us, any more than causes of gravitation," Dr. Osborn said. "We are rapidly coming up against a blank wall in biological science, and when we do, our studies will be restricted to modes and processes of evolution which we know to exist." In other words, he explained to the 400 theologians who had gathered to hear him, solence is not as optimistic about the solving of some of the world's mysteries as it is often purported to be. This was challenged by one of the Union students, who asked him if he believed the mystery of God would ever be solved. Dr. Osborn replied to the negative. A new letters he by Dr. Osborn in deserved evolution. He said it was creative evolution, a new phrase coined to give expression to new views concerning the processes of evolution. "If the bones of man that existed 15,000,000 years-age are ever dug up they will be of a man which has as fine potentialities, fine hands and limbs not different to ours," he said. "Man has his own ancestry."
Touching the problem of race superiorly, Dr. Osborn said that the problem is a eugenic one, and hinted that under present conditions of marriage and social conditions we can never expect to have a superior race, such as the Greeks had when they eliminated the undesirable.

Howard Appropriation
Bill Passes Senate;
Signed by President
The bill amending an act to incorporate Howard University, which passed the House during the last session of Congress, was passed by the Senate last Monday without debate and was signed by President Coolidge on Thursday.
Senator Trammell of Florida put forth an effort to have the bill rescinded. His motion was overruled by a vote of 55 to 45. A legal force by result of a vote of persistent undercover on the part of friends of the University in both Houses of Congress, two presidents of Howard University and the secretary-treasurer.
The effect of the legislation will be to remove the possibility of the practices on the part of Democrat representatives to have the item stricken out in the House on a point $9 order, based upon the fact that there was no law authorizing the appropriation to Howard University as a private institution. The item has always been restored to the Appropriations bill $9 the Senate.
The bill as enacted into law is as follows: It be enacted, "etc. That section 8 of 'an act entities' an act to incorporate the Howard University in the District of Columbia" approved March 2, 1867, be amended to read as follows:
"Sec. 8. Annual appropriations the hereby authorized to aid in the construction, development, improvement, and maintenance of the university, no part of which shall be used for religious instruction. The university shall at all times be open to inspection by the Bureau of Education and shall be inspected by the said bureau at least once a year. An annual report making a full exhibit of the affairs of the university shall be presented to Congress each year in the report of the Bureau of Education."
Britons Bargaining For Sultan's Gems
LONDON, Dec. 19.—A syndicate of London capitalists has entered into a bargain with the Turkish Government for the purchase of the former sultan's jewels, with the exception of those of historic interest, it was reported here. The price mentioned is $2,500,000, says the Daily News correspondent at Constantinople. The more powerful collection of jewels which once belonged to the Turkish sultans has been valued at $1,800,000,000, but this estimate is generally regarded as exaggerated. A 'Swiss jeweler who was commissioned by the Turkish Government in 1917 to make a valuation of the jewels said the task was impossible. It has been rumored for some time past that Muttazah Kemal intended to sell the jewels in order to improve Turkish finances, and that he had been in communication with Paris jewelers, who valued them at about $100,000,000.

A hospital, to be run by Negroes for the benefit of their race, the realization of a Negro surgeon's dream, is opening compartment in Harlem on Saturday and 138th street. The cost will be $158,000.
The hospital is unique of its kind in this city, if not in the entire country. The announcement that it will be formally opened some time after the first of the year comes on the heels of the disclosure that Harlem Negroes have formed a committee to investigate charges of discrimination recently brought against the officials of Presbyterian Hospital.
The building itself is complete. The date of the opening depends on the success of a campaign for $15,000, the amount necessary for equipment. This was begun last week by Chase Mellon, the mayor of the City Club and an admirer and old friend of the founder of the hospital, Dr. U. Conrad Vincent. It is a personal appeal to those interested in Negro welfare.
The Founder's Vision
The story of the institution begins with Dr. Vincent's desire to provide a medical centre for the care of the sick of his race and a training ground for those of his people who want to enter his profession. Dr. Vincent is a graduate of the Medical School of the University of Pennsylvania. He is the only Negro ever to serve as an intern in Bellevue Hospital, where he also served as resident physician. In 1820 he decided to start out on his own. Today, at thirty-five, he is on the staff of Harleau Hospital as consulting surgeon, and has built up a larger private practice than any other Negro physician in New York. He was during his internship that he saw the need for a proper place to train Negro doctors and nurses and to care for Negro; slick. But he didn't broadcast what was forming in his mind.
"I don't believe in criticism," he says: "It gets us nowhere." I believe simply in working to provide those things experience has taught us we need as a race."
Gets Advice and Aid
This was Dr. Vincent's idea when two years ago he arrived together his savings, sold some property he owned and bought the land and buildings at the entrance of the old King Model House development on Seventh avenue. Modestly, he revealed only a few of his plans. Among those he asked for advice were Dr. Walter Gray Crump of Broad Street Hospital and Dr. George O'Hannon, for many years superintendent of Bellevue. These men and others who knew Dr. Vincent's ability and initiative, were quick to come to his assistance. They helped him in designing the building and planning for equipment. Now they proso him highly.
Tion, with his own money, Dr. Vincent began to materialize his dream. For more than a year the building proceeded slowly and Dr. Vipcent, broke and discouraged, sought the help of Chase Mellen. Through Mr. Mellen, officials of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company were interested in the project. And, after an thorough investigation satisfied them as to the doctor's ability to organize and operate the hospital, they made a building loan of $65,000 on a first mortgage. Mr. Mellen also was able to arrange with the contractors, builders and architects to pay for their services partly in cash and partly in notes. The drive for funds is expected to bring in the total amount necessary—at present.
200 More Beds Needed
For the rest the hospital is expected to take care of itself. A J. B. Beckmann hospital consultant, who is assisting in the matter of equipment, has estimated the expenditures, at 100 per cent, capacity to amount to $6,500 a month, while the income, at 80 per cent, capacity will reach $13,755 a month. Dr. Crump says at least 200 more beds are needed to care for the average number of sick among Harlem's $25,000 people.
The building has five stories and is fireproof, with light and air from windows on three sides. It is of fifty-four bed capacity and, besides wards and operating rooms, will have doctors' offices, and a dental suite. According to present plans the hospital staff of nurses and internes will be Negro, with a consulting staff of white doctors, among them Dr. Crump and O'Hanlon. Dr. Vincent, the son of a professor of Shaw University, was born in Baleigh N. C. C. He married the daughter of W. H. Tulane of Montgomery, Ala., one of the truntees of Tunkegue. Dr. and Mr. Vincent have one child, Ubert-Conrad Vincent, Jr. They live at No. 221 West 128th street.
U. S. Made Toys Worth

MANILA, Dec. 11—Quarterly years and a treaty was signed highway around the world from Manila with members tous consequences for the Philippines.
It was the Treaty of Paris, by which Spain gave up a sovereignty over these islands, which stretched back to more than two centuries prior to the American Declaration of Independence. The Philippines are now being administered by their 100th governor, Henry Lewis Stimson, one-time American Secretary of War. The first of the long line of foreign administrators was William L. Legaspi, who assumed office in 1864. Taft Ono U. S. & Administrator Major General Wesley Morritt first acted as Uncle Sam's long arm controlling the Philippines after the "days of '88." He was followed by Major General Elwood S. Ots and Arthur McArthur, the latter turning the islands over to civil authorities July 4, 1901. William Howard Taft, later to become President and still later Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, was the first civil governor, and he was responsible for changing the title back to the old Spanish one. Dedicated general during the administration of his successor, Luke E. Wright.
Acquired by Purchase
By the terms of the Treaty of Paris the United States acquired the Philippines by purchase-for $20,000,000 and not by conquest. Two things remained to be done. One was the putting down of the Philippine insurrection. The other the settlement of the "Friar lands"; dispute. The military man achieved the former; Tuff, who conferred with the Vatican, brought about the latter through expenditure of $7,239,754.66 for the extensive agricultural land held by the priests. Thus from the Treaty of Paris atoms the present relatively settled and placed situation of the Philippines.
Machine Makes Hot Ice, Boils Eggs in Cold Water
BOSTON, Dec. 18—Percy W. Bettman, professor of physics at Harvard, has perfected a machine capable of producing a pressure of 600,000 pounds to the square inch—the greatest ever attained by human artifice—but outside its scientific value he cannot think of any commercial uses to which it can be put.
Placing water heated to 150 degrees in the machine and exerting pressure of 300,000 pounds, Professor Bridgman found he had a solid block of water ice, in other words—despite the fact that the block of water retained its original heat as long as the pressure was maintained. He has placed an oil's feet water in the container, exerting 100,000 pounds pressure, and the oil has come out hard bolted.
The machine is in reality a hydraulic press with a plunger to make the pressure and a container in which the pressure is maintained. The upper section of a steel cross-member holds the container, and the lower movable section, containing the plunger, is operated by a hand pump. Explained by its inventor for a layman, the principle on which it works follows:
"All you have to do is take a large thick block of steel, bore a hole in it and place a liquid in the hole. Then put into the top of the hole a plug that only limits the pressure that may be applied comes through leaking around the plug or the yielding of the steel container."
Professor Petrieman says, he has solved the problem of the leaking plug, but although he uses the finest steel for his container, the steel gives may under pressure of more than 600,000 pounds.
Two Tribes Revolt Against Nejd Sultan
JERUSALEM, Dec. 11.—Two of the most powerful tribes under the rule of Abdul Abb Ibn Saud, Sultan of Nejd, are reported to have rebelled. One tribe numbers 60,000. Ibn Saud is said to be concentrating loyal forces near Talf, sixty-five miles from Mecca, to suppress the insurrection. At the same time he was offering self-rule in return for its loyalty. The British Air Force was alarmed by hostilities in Arabia and threats of Arabian tribes to renew raids. The money constitute a threat of the Arabian population and have never recognized the rule of Ibn Saud.
Palestine Gains Citizens
A record in the acquisition of citizenship in Palestine by Jewish immigrants was established in November, according to: a Jerusalem dispatch of Dec. 15. To the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. During that month 1,000 certificate of citizenship were granted. The Naturalisation Department employed an additional number of officials to paddle on the applications, which had accumulated during a long period.
During September, 176 Jaws entered Palestine. The total immigration for five months, 128. During the same period, 184 Jaws entered, including 128 Jaws. Two hundred and 819 Jaws Jewish immigrants entered the country during August. The total immigration for the total health work, including 128 Jaws, was 1,050. Jewish immigrants, including 128 Jaws,

It is good news which comes from Washington that a determined fight will be made this winter for a re-apportionment of members of Congress. Of the many anomalies in our democracy, such as the lame-duck session of Congress and the absolute Electorate College, the most notorious and inexhaustible is the failure to re-apportion the membership of Congress and of the Electoral College according to the census of 1820. Critic and fair-minded Congressmen have fought for eight years to force our Representatives to carry out the clear mandate of the Constitution that Congress should be re-apportioned after each census. But what is the Constitution among Congressmen? The for-rilling, reactionary traders from the stagnant States have boasted that the reapportionment bill can pass only over their dead bodies. Accordingly we are still conducting Congressional and Presidential elections according to the census of 1910.
Murray, Americans who read, of the apportionment account are inclined to yawn and ask: "What of it? What is one morphe more on less in a Congress so stupid and corrupt that it cannot even revise its own system of seating legally?" This contempt of Congress created by its failure to reconstruct its own representation has at last got under the skins of a considerable number of Congressional leaders who are determined to billboard, if necessary, until reapportionment is effected. They are supporting the Fenn bill, which would reapportion Congress according to the census of 1930, taking effect in 1933, and automatically providing for reapportionment after every future decennial census. The Fenn bill wisely leaves the membership of the House at its present figure of 435—any larger number, would make the already pauplyly body more cumbersome and incompetent.
Since the census of 1830 great shifts have taken place in our population which are not accounted for under the present distribution of voting power Millions who have moved from the country to the city have been virtually disfranchised because the increase in population in many metropolitan areas has not been taken into account Detroit, for example, is still treated as a small city, and so is Los Angeles. If the Fenn bill is passed Michigan will get four more seats in the California state court will lose three, Kentucky, township and Mississippi two each. Ohio will gain three and Texas and New Jersey two. William Starr Myers of Princeton, writing in the "North American Review" before election, pointed out that our failure to reapportition constituencies since the 1830 census" could elect to the Presidency a candidate who had

This result, of course, would be possible under our electoral-college system even without any maladjustment in apportionment. a candidate who carried New York by 1,000 votes could afford to lose half a dozen minor States by a margin of many millions and still emerge as the winner in the Electoral College. What—most citizens do not appreciate is the extent of the injustice in the election. In the case of apportionment. Twenty-three men are voting in Congress who have no moral right to be the leader; and twenty-three men who ought to be there are denied the right to represent constituencies. Stated in mathematical terms nearly 5,000,000 people have their votes underweighted, if Congressional, and President-elects.
Some Congressmen in this session have questioned the legality of a Congress which failed to carry out the specific command in the Constitution to recompose after each census. Apparently, it is unfortunate that point because. There is no greater greed enough to compel our lawmakers to obey the Constitution if they care to defy it. But the pressure of public opinion is becoming great enough to embarrass the hard-bolted provinces who have held up reapportionment bills for many years. The Penn bill has a chance of success. With it, the Senate will pass a constitutional amendment to abolish the lame-duck duck of Congress and a provision for the direct election of Presidents.
Palestine to Exploit Vast Phosphate Field
JERUSALEM — The new year will witness a revolutionary change, in the supply of one of the most precious mineral fertilizer, due to the opening in Transylvania of fields of inocculable dimorphic, certainly containing many millins of tons. The concession to exploit these fields was granted to the Gough General Distributing Company, Ltd., an independent British concern, by the government of Transylvania. It was learned today. The fields, according to Captain De Valda, the company's Palestine representative, attain the remarkable purity of 8 per cent, which is equated only by the deposits on Nauru Island. They are to be in inactive operation in March of next year, and the shipment will be, 100,000 tonnes, valued at $75,000. Cutting in half of the selling price in Palestine is expected to effect a radical improvement in agriculture.

AT CHRISTMASTIDE
And who is it that does not love Christmas with its laughter and its tears, its well-meant but oftimes with withsel, its holly wreaths and giving and receiving—the one in the altar of friendship and love who has succeeded in capturing been so gloriously depicted by the rob Christmas of its festive days look forward each year to the season. There is no day quite exchanging gifts brings joy and to the receiver. Mankind is given glory in the opportunity to enjoy pleasure of others. Class are spent each year for the pass the sum becomes larger and that the world is getting richer this lavish expenditure of money in its wake. Men and women order to keep up with their friend-giving qualities and make fear and looked back upon with Negro needs to take stock of need in the richest country in the ordinance with the habits of those the fact that he is the lowest order and has so far to go with life should be a wonderful thing if go in patterning their life after Christmas is an excellent example of group. True, there are the sort of mansions, fur coats and lion contrast to this, we have the pitiless of Negroes who live in almost the streets of large cities, in the in small Southern towns, any week with never an extra penny people that Negroes should re-read. Christmas would be just a Christmas, the generosity and the gifts are simple. And the Negro make more money than his brother under a moral obligation to do domestic and financial status. He is the thousand and one small man when viewed alone, but looks aggregate. Money in the hand recklessly is power thrown to Negroes should be a time for the world goes mad for the moment remain sane. The quiet exchange relatives and friends is a beauty and who love you do not expect live with discretion, there would need the greater part of their social financial condition. Christmas is it that it does not leave behind in our effort to live up to the st
of Christmas with its laughter and its tears, its surprises and its disappointments, its well-meant but oftimes misfit gifts, its pine trees glistening with rinsel, its holly wreaths and colorful poinsettias, its endless giving and receiving—the one day when mankind lays its best upon the altar of friendship and love. Fortunate is the man or woman who has succeeded in capturing the real Christmas spirit which has been so gloriously depicted by the immortal Dickens. We would not rob Christmas of its festive dress lest it lose its identity. Thousands look forward each year to the merry-making of the Christmas season. There is no day quite like it. The universal custom of exchanging gifts brings joy and happiness to the giver as well as to the receiver. Mankind is generous by nature and men and women glory in the opportunity to enter into an orgy of spending for the pleasure of others.
Millions of dollars are spent each year for the purchase of gifts and as the years pass the sum becomes larger and larger. This would seem to indicate that the world is getting richer and richer. Perhaps it is. But this lavish expenditure of money often leaves more sorrow than joy in its wake. Men and women who spend beyond their means in order to keep up with their friends are depriving Christmas of its joy-giving qualities and making of it a day to be approached with fear and looked back upon with sorrow.
The American Negro needs to take stock of himself along this line. Born and bred in the richest country in the world, he forms his habits in accordance with the habits of those among whom he lives. This despite the fact that he is the lowest man on the social and economic ladder and has so far to go with little help and much hindrance. It would be a wonderful thing if Negroes could be taught how far to go in patterning their life after that of their white neighbors. And Christmas is an excellent example of this. Negroes are a pitifully poor group. True, there are those among us who enjoy the comfort of mansions, fur coats and limousines—the fortunate few. In contrast to this, we have the pitiful spectacle of the many thousands of Negroes who live in almost abject poverty in the alleys and side streets of large cities, in the high-priced apartments in Harlem, in small Southern towns, anywhere, barely existing from week to week with never an extra penny to lay aside for the day of trouble.
These are the people that Negroes should remember on Christmas and, if they would, Christmas would be just as happy, but much, much saner.
The spirit of Christmas, the generosity and the merriment, remain the same when the gifts are simple. And the Negro who is fortunate enough to make more money than his brother owes a debt to his group. He is under a moral obligation to do all in his power to improve his economic and financial status. He "can only do this when he practices the thousand and one small economies which seem so insignificant when viewed alone, but loom so large when considered in the aggregate. Money in the hand is power in the hand; money spent recklessly is power thrown to the four winds.
Christmas for Negroes should be a time for thought as well as rejoicing. The world goes mad for the moment, but the Negro ought to try to remain sane. The quiet exchange of simple, sensible gifts among relatives and friends is a beautiful custom. Those whom you love and who love you do not expect you to do the impossible. If all gave with discretion, there would be no cause for sorrow. Negroes need the greater part of their surplus earnings to help to better their financial condition. Christmas is but one day long. Let us see to it that it does not leave behind it months of privation and sorrow in our effort to live up to the standard of the man on top.

Why is Mr. Kellogg building dreadnaughts and cruisers? He says: "Thou shalt not kill," but he also says: "Fill your waist belt with knives and pistols so as to be ready to kill."
This spoke David Lloyd George at the opening of a remarkable "peace campaign" initiated by the Liberal Party in England on October 8. Mr. Lloyd George added that the nations of the world were heading straight for war, not because any one wanted it, but because no one had the courage to stop the runaway horses of the charlot of war. Unless, he continued, nations soon definitely and finally committed themselves to peaceful means of settling disputes. "God alone can save the world from a more terrible war than has ever been seen."

Scheme to Build New African Empire Hits.First Snag as Governors.Differ
EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS
LONDON—The British scheme to group the mandated Tanganyika territory with the colonies of Uganda and Kenya and to develop the whole vast area into a rich new African empire has struck its first snag. That is a dispute between the Governors of the Tanganyika territory and Kenya colony as to whether East Africa in future is to be 'in white man's country or a black man's'. Sir Donald, Cameron, administering the former German possession under the League of Nation's supervision, holds that East Africa will inevitably be black man's country. His scheme of government involves building, so far as possible, on the present tribal rules, teaching to the chieftains British ideas of law and order, and incidentally of commerce, and slowly civilizing the natives so that they will be able to run their own country under British guidance.
Sir Edward Griggs, however, Governor of the aristocratic Kenya colony, holds that his position of Africa anyway is going to be a white man's country. Britons, like Lord Doldmere, are stalking out great fancies there. The climate is cool and it has a high altitude. The natives are to receiveervers—like those that the builders of the United States accorded to the Indians across the Mississippi—but the white man is to own and rule Kenya in the traditional British fashion.
To Consult Colonial Office
The proposition to federate Britain's East African holdings, therefore, has encountered two diametrically opposed conceptions of the land's future. That is the reason, it was burned today, why the long awaited report of the Hilton Young commission on federation has not been made public. The disputes waged so warm between the proponents of the two ideas that each was fearful the commission would lean too far toward the ideals of the other, so that both Governors are coming home early in January to wrestle the matter out with the Colonial Office.
It is already apparent that the po-

Ignorance or perhaps the greatest danger of this present pay. As long as the majors of people run's ignorant and uninformed and as jungle as we remain a democratic state, the major-
littoral federation will not proceed as far as its ardent advocates have desired. It may not go beyond a small board to coordinate the development of roads, railways, the postal and telegraph systems and customs. But political unity in East Africa, Britain realizes, is not a vital matter for the new empire's development, except in a small degree. The main problem is commercial rather than political. The first task is road building and the development of transport for the products of the inhabitants. A small committee has just been appointed here to "study every aspect of mechanical transport likely to further economic development in the overseas empire."
Railroads Held Responsible
According to one member of the new committee, Brig. Glen, D. S. Hammond, it will be impossible to use railroads, to open up the country, as the late James J. Hillard in the American Northwest. The committee is exploring the potentialities of new types of motor trucks capable of, carrying, to mendous loads over relatively, primitive roads. The six wheeled trucks now doing heavy work in some portions of the empire are believed to be a step in the right direction in design but Britain is looking for some bigger type, and also one capable of using other fuel than gasoline.
Alcohol has been made and sold as motor fuel in Uganda. But the committee is now studying the potentialities of a "producer of gas" which can be made from charcoal, antifreeze or wood, all of which are plentiful throughout the territory. The possible use of the Diesel engine is also under inquiry.
Since road obstructions are identified and since loops of the new road which it is planned to build to link outlying areas to the railroads cannot be maneuvered, the committee is going to bring road designers having tropical experience and vehicle designers, together to have them evolve a road type and vehicle type to match each other instead of tackling the two problems separately.

There are more well-educated Negroes now than in times gone by. These Negroes expect, the educated public man or woman, of whatever race, to watch his division. No need to ask that diction has to do with the discriminating selection of the words that one uses.—Louisville Leader.
The ability to discriminate between wants and needs ought to be the outgrowth of any education that is worth the trouble of getting. The only revenue of most poor people outside of their labor is economy and this is by all means the surrest, and best for either the rich or the poor.
To strike the balance between what one needs and what one wants is the fine art that makes a blend of comfort, satisfaction and stable progress in the every day life of the individual, and, after all, any education that does not have this in its primary yield has misused the resources of the most potential service.—Bringingham Reporter.
And Save Lives Photographs in Civil Service Work Hardships on Negroes
(From The Norfolk Journal and Guide)
It is reported that the United States Civil Service Commission is considering substituting finger prints for the photograph requirements for entering the service. The finger print is said to be the most infallible personal identification system yet evolved. It is believed by the commission that if brought into use in the Civil Service it will prove an effective barrier against criminals getting on the Government payroll. It is obvious that no criminal who has been finger printed by a police department or prison authorities is going to be so naive as to present himself for a Civil Service examination if he knows that his finger prints are again to be taken.
The photograph requirement for Civil Service examination which came into use under the Wilson administration, whatever its original purpose, has served to work a hardship upon colored Americans. Because in making appointments the commission has the lawful right to select one from a list of three highest eligibles, if one of these eligibles happens to be identified, by his picture as belonging to the Negro race, he is often conveniently overlooked. President-elect Herbert Hoover has declared for equal opportunity for all. If his words are to carry any meaning his administration could make an effective move toward giving them that meaning by abolishing the photograph requirement in Civil Service examination. If photographs of Government employees are an add to apprehension in case of the commission of crime and subsequent light, it is time enough to take the picture after this eligible employee has entered the service. That is the system followed in the Navy Yards. If it is good enough for Government yards it certainly ought to be good enough for the Civil Service.
But as much as this reform in the Civil Service system is to be designed by our group, we should avoid the mistake of creating an all too intensely racial atmosphere around it. We have had our bitter experiences with suggested Federal legislation, regardless of how promising its general good when once it becomes especially identified as being proposed Negro legislation. This does not mean that we should shucken our efforts to remove the photograph requirements from the Federal Civil Service examination, but it does mean that we should not misdirect our efforts along this line in order to give the desired reform a purely racial demand.
I WAS NOT BORN TO DIE
By Dr. H. A. Adams
I know some day my eyes shall close.
My hands across my breast repose.
My weary heart shall cease to beat.
Pulsed and cold my hands; and feet.
But I shall live! I'll tell you why;
Because I was not born to die!
Some day, friends standing round
my bed.
Shall sadly whisper, "He is dead";
But only shall my BODY be
Silent and cold; but as for ME,
The powers of death shall I defy.
Because I was not then to die!
I'll lay me down to sleep, some day,
Paying the debt, all mortal pay.
Then friends, perhaps, for me shall
weep.
When I shall say me down to sleep;
But vain will be their tears, for I
Shall live! I was not born to die!
in heartsease I leave behind,
in sacrifice for human kind,
in service to my fellowmen,
in all of these I live again,
Yes, I shall live. I'll tell you why.
Wife loves, and serves, can never die
Yes, I shall live! I'll tell you why:
Wife loves, and serves, can never die!

Four-Day Conference of Experts to Discuss and Report on Changing Racial Conditions-New Problems
Iniquitous Richmond Segregation Bill Strongly Opposed by Interracial Body
tion whether the Monroe Doctrine bans the League from political activity in South America. It is no surprise that the pressure of the South American delegates had much to do with overcoming the scriptures of some members of the League Council at Lugano yesterday when its resolution was adopted calling on the two League members to observe their League vows.
The interest attached to the situation lends importance to dispatches published in today's European press saying Washington sees no objection to League intervention. If this proves correct, perhaps another milestone has been passed. In the development of American attitude toward the League of Nations from what it was in 1920. For all students of the situation will recall that when. In the heat of the Tacna-Arica quarrel three years ago, an effort was made to have the League intervene-Geneva evaded the issue, and at that, time no one doubted that the League attitude was dictated by fear
The four-day session of the National Interracial Conference in Washington will hear the results of a research designed "to construct a reasonably faithful picture of Ngoe life and the status of race relations in the United States." The findings, which have been gathered by experts, will be made public for the first time at this coming conference.
The chief purpose of the conference is to pool all authoritative information on race relations in the country and is the first of its kind. Sixteen national organizations are sending delegates to participate in the program. Authorities who will speak at the morning and afternoon sessions, to be held in the auditorium of the Department of the Interior Building, include Professor Raymond Pearl of John Hopkins University, Professor Herbert Adolphus Miller of Ohio State University, N. C. Newbold, Director of Negro Education in North Carolina; Professor Charles E. Mergham, of the University of Chicago; Dr. Robert R. Steton of Tuskegee Institute, and Dr. Louis L. Dullin of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.
Biological foundations of a health program for Negroes is one of the subjects scheduled for tomorrow's session. Health statistics with illustrative examples of the Negro's susceptibility to certain diseases and his immunity to others, his resistance in a transplanted environment, urban versus rural life, his educational achievements and needs, are all topics included in the second day's program. On Tuesday the forensic will be devoted to agriculture and industry and its influence on the life and development of the Negro. Figures show an enormous increase in Negro population in industrial centers, and recent studies trace the results of participation of this population in the industrial life of big cities.
Recruitment and housing also come
RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 14.—Declaring that the proposed segregation ordinance, which would prohibit Negroes from living in the same block with whites, will create emmity between the races and increase race prejudice here, the local Interracial Committee, headed by R. W. Carrington, adopted the following resolution opposing the passage of the bill:
"Resolved; That the Richmond Committee on Interracial Relations go on record as being unequivocally opposed to the ordinance recently introduced in the City Council relative to the segregation of the races, and believe the same to be detrimental to the best interests of the city and unfair and inequitable in principle."
Under the terms of the ordinance, which would become a law April 1, 1929, all Negroes now living in the same blocks with white people would have to sell their property and move before the law became effective, and would therefore be forced to sell at low prices. If they were not out of the district before April 1 they would be subject to arrest and a fine of from 1100 to 1600 and then would be sent. Many said that the bill would be deceived impersonated by the Negroes. Count and the Illinois man will it be posted before attacking it, but the Interstate Committee is of the opinion that now in the time to create settlement that will prevent the passage. The bill was introduced by Admiral Henry W. Weekly and makes it unlaw-
many statesmen in Europe who see the opening of a new chapter in the relations between Washington and Paris, and that new chapter the League leaders would certainly expect the League influence in South America to grow. Naturally, the European papers do not fall to point out that both Bofivia and Paraguay are signatories of sanctionless arbitration treaties, which they compare to the Kellogg anti-war pact. If it should turn out that League intervention rather than such treaties brings a settlement, League propagandists will surely take advantage of that result.
While the Liberal French press praises the initiative of the League council these are some critics who think the League has gone looking for trouble with the United States on an insignificant, issue. For example, Pertinax in Echo of Paris says:
"It is worth while to take the slightest risk of making any more difficulties between the United States and Europe."
If events show that Pertlmaxx's fears are groundless, Geneva will be happy, for an important president has been set.
in for consideration at Tuesday's meetings. Ernest T. Atwell of the Playground and Recreation Association of America will discuss recreational activities from his association's point of view. A problem now confronting many growing cities is adequate housing for its Negro citizens. The Paul Laurence Dunbar apartments, erected recently in New York, is a practical case in point, and the history and development of these apartments will be presented with other housing data. William Green, President of the American Federation of Labor, will speak on the trade union movement in relation to Negroes. Speakers on the last day of the conference, December 19, include Dr. W. E. R. Du Bole, Lawrence Oxley, of Baleigh and Miss Mary Van Kleeck of the Russell Sage Foundation, who is chairman of the executive committee of the National Interracial Conference.
Commenting on the significance of the Washington meeting, a member of the executive committee said that the conference was the first attempt to reconcile all points of view in a more or less complicated question, and that it was believed the present gathering of scientists, medical men, housing experts and educators would be the foregatherer of other and larger conventions. In the ten years prior to 1920 many states more than tripled their Negro population. During that time Wisconsin's white population increased 12.8 per cent, its Negro population 19.3 per cent. Michigan's white population increased 29.5 per cent; its Negro population 261 per cent. In the same ten years, California showed 44.5 per cent white increase to 79.1 per cent Negro increase. The latter increase was due, in all states, it is said, to migration, which is still getting on.
The officers of the National Inter-
territorial Conference were Mordental John-
son, President of Howard University;
Robert R. Moton, president of Tuskegee
Institute; Mary Van Kleecke of the
Russell Sage Foundation; Justice
Seligman of Sullivan and Cromwell, New
York; Charles S. Johnson of Mack
University and George R. Haynes.

Referred to Commission
RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 14.—The ordinance providing for residential segregation, which has been pending in the Richmond City Council, has been referred to a commission of nine, including the three city officials and six citizens one of whom shall represent the Interracial Committee and two of whom shall be colored. The commission was instructed to investigate the situation thoroughly and report their recommendations to the council by Mag
1. This decision was reached after a prolonged hearing on the proposed ordinance, in which the various viewpoints were presented before a mixed audience of 250 people.
The opposition to the ordinance was led by R. W. Carrington, representing the Interracial Committee, who contended that the measure would work a hardship on a great many people and tend to disarrange the existing cordial relations between the races. He was followed by a number of representatives, some of whom also supported the argument. Among them were Attorney Joseph M. Pollock, R. W. W. Ransomson, L. A. Held, M. A. Norrell and W. A. Jordan. The motion of the committee in recommending government and further study was adjourned of the effectiveness of their argument. The final result will be awaited until

He was then invited to the theatre, where he worked to hear the voice of the actor of the best race, the voice of a superman, which has awakened mullions of Mergers from their idle sleep and roused them from a state of lethargy, limorance and indifference - to the true knowledge of themselves and their possibilities. Addressing the assemblage, he said:
HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S ADDRESS
"Ladies and gentlemen; it is rather a fluttering pleasure to find myself once more among my friends and co-workers in Jamaica, working under the great institution of the Universal 'Negro' Improvement Association (applause). I have just completed a tour of nearly eight months in Europe where I represented your interest and the interest of all the Negro people of the world (applause). I have a complete report to give you tomorrow night and the following night. I want to mature you that we are on the way to Jamaica (applause). have returned to Jamaica to blink up a greater and grader institution (applause). I shall not say much more to you now, as I have been travelling for sixteen days and for three complete days I had a terrible time with storm, weather."
"I want to thank you for this great reception. It is indeed a testimony of your appreciation of the determination of Negroes, to bring relief throughout the world.
"I want to thank the authorities—and especially the police—for the extended effort they have put forth in making my reception a success.
"I wish you all success. God bless you. God be with you until tomorrow night."
Great Mass Meeting
On Friday night, Nov. 25, an extraordinary meeting was staged by the President-General at the Ward Theatre, Kingston, Jamaica, commencing at 8 o'clock. The band of the late W. J. Resiment under the conductorship of Lieut. E. A. Bradley, L. R. A. M. director of music, was in attendance and rendered a musical program. The best local talent was represented. Mr. H. A. L. Simpson, O. B. E., a prominent lawyer of the community and councillor in the Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation, presided. Associated with the President-General on the platform were, Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey, his devoted wife; Lady Henry Vinton Davis, Rev. Commissioner Jones, Mr. Chas. D. Johnson (president of the Kingston Division), U. A. Lee Grant (president of the choir and chairman of the trussie board), H. B. Green (chaphnid), D. M. Williams (tycoeur Kingston Division), Mrs. Jessica Gunter (body president Kingston Division), Mr. P. A. Alkion and Rev. Mr. Barclay. The Misses Hazel J. Kescgidge and Chadra M. Warren were seated in the audience.
After an overure by the band, the singing commenced with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Key Mountain." The chapman, then made his opening remarks. He sali'd, "The histories of the world displease us, a number of lives and in each case they are despicable of those lives of great talent or great women. We have great men, but we have great men, but even to praise him, but to give him a right cordial welcome on his return to Jamestown (heart, heart). He has been away for something like eight months and in that time he has shown himself to be the greatest representative of his race in history (applause). He has done wonderful work—wonderful work for those like myself whom he represents (applause), and this meeting is invited for the purpose of expressing our gratitude to him and our thanks for what he has done.
LADY DAVIS' ADDRESS
Lady Davis was the next speaker.
"Mr. Chairman, Hon. Marcus Garvey, Laddies and Gentlemen: I am quite sure that words are entirely indequate to express the very great pleasure that we all feel in having with us again the outstanding leader of his race—the Hon. Marcus Garvey. He has been away from us for eight months and we have watched anxiously and prayerfully his efforts in behalf of our race. He has passed through many trying experiences, but he has valiantly gone forth with that matchless courage that a hero can only have championing the cause of four hundred million Americans (amplifies). therefore, honored sir, we welcome you, you, thrice welcome you back home again."

the fifteen million Negroes of America
whom I met through their representatives
at Toronto, Canada, on the 2nd
November; greetings not only on be-
half of the thousands of Negroes of

at Montreal and Toronto, but I bring you greetings of

I took several months to find out thos-
friends because we are going to use
them in the constitutional fight we are
going to make to really emancipate

for following me so closely, as I have

"Encountered Wonderful Experiences
Yes, we had some wonderful experiences abroad, but nothing that we did not calculate for, so we were not surprised. I have reached the stage of life when nothing surprises me.
A Stormy Voyage
"I was in a storm for three days getting here from Meat街, and everybody thought the ship would nearly go down and at one time I believed it myself, but it did not surprise me—it was only that it brought to me the sad thought that I would not meet you again."
Recalls His Promise
"But I promised you some years ago that whenever I cannot visit you in the physical body, I will visit you in the spirit (applause). So I was not worried when the storm was raging because I had promised that if there is a God, and I believe that there is a God, I will return to you from the spirit world. I have asked that God of the spirit world to fail for me that promise; and let me tell you that Marcus Garvey in the spirit when he comes back in the spirit, that spirit will raise all the holy hell you may expect (daughter) to bring about real freedom, real liberty, real emancipation for the black peoples of the world, because while it is possible to imprison the physical man, it is only the obless man that can imprison the spirit (daughter). So much for that part. Marcus Garvey is going to be a visitor in the spirit than he has been in the physical.
Demanding the Black Man's Rights
"I am just grimming with everybody to see that everybody does right to the black man, and everybody who does not do right to the black man, has a cause with me and I have a cause with him. I do not care who he may be. Any race, any group, any individual, in this twentieth century who does not feel to treat the black man right, has to account not only MS Marquis Gaphy, but to cleave million Negroes (uphause).
Represent a Serious Group.
"We have been infilming, grimming and rigging at even a kick. We now represent the black woman, of the thousand and women who demand a place in the world, and who are determined to have it without any ecology (uh-planes). We are going to have its rights as human beings."
To All the People
To All the People
"I am not going to speak to you tonight at a Jamaican because I represent an international group.
"We had a wonderful time abroad. My first stop from Jamaica was England, where I stopped over a couple of months to prepare our work. I had several appearances in it, but the Royal Albert Hall where I delivered a speech that made the circuit of the world; and it has set men thinking everywhere, because that speech expresses the serious mood and attitude of the Negro (aphaeuse). We have made several friends out of that speech. I delivered a series of speeches at the Central theatre in London. Those speeches are to be found in the hands of millions of people all over Europe. I also spent a great deal of time searching out for old friends. We had a tremendous staff of workers. Stenographers and typists were hard at work getting in touch with everybody. Everybody who was somebody knew about the Universal Negro Improvement Association during the war in Europe. Before we thought of before we were thinking of you now in the form of justice in the terms of rightness, in the terms of justice and freedom (aphaeuse).
A Visit of Dr. George Vinson
"I must be sorry you did not think of Europe, particularly England, an ever more side of great value. Not only in England did we make a wonderful endeavour to enjoy the people but also in Poland, particularly in Poland, when I returned before the Club did die."

Wonderful Future in Bight
"Now let me tell you Negroes, let me tell you black people, you have a wonderful future before you—a future to your own making—a future to your own creation; and during my stay of nine months in Jamaica following today, I hope to bring home to you the serenity of this future, which you each and other in common with the Negroes of America and other parts of the world.
The Toronto Conference
"I have just returned from a conference with colleagues. Toronto where we have decided to launch the biggest program ever undertaken by any group in the world. (Applause).
We have for the next ten years planned an industrial and economic program that will involve an expenditure of six hundred million dollars for the development of the Negro. (Applause).
We are not making any fuss or any joke over this matter. This matter is going to be handled with the keenness and forethought of artemisimpell
Right to Contribute to Civilization
"We have come to this conclusion that what we do now and in the future must be worth while. I found little groups of people in Europe, little four millions here, little ten millions there and all of them having substantial governments and empires. Little Belgium, a country of seven million men and women, but having a Belgian empire 200 times larger outside of Europe than in Europe. And when we think of it, we have four hundred million Newes without a nation, without a face of protection as compared with Europe. We have four thousand people who have decided that it is worth a shame when we think of the Nesca in larger numbers having no nation of his own. When we went back to Belgium and viewed the wonderful skirts of Westminster Abbey the grandeurs of St-Paul's Cathedral—when we went through the British Museum, the National Museum, all of which testified to the glory of the English man for hundreds of years—just comparatively a handful of people—and you see nothing where that testifies to the achievement of, the Negro, it made us hang our heads in shame. We must duplicate the glory of nation-building or die as a race of incompetent. Small we die? (voices Not) We shall live and place upon the people of history to lion down to power, mendments in, bronze and marble of what we have been able to do. That's what the Universal Negro improvement Association seeks to do now as it ought to do in our foundation. Right of the blacks to make their own contribution to civilization. And because, we ask that right, there are men who question that right, I say to hell with them (daughter). Whether he is to be found in Jamaica or anywhere else, any man who says it is right for the black man to live as happy and as comfortable as any other man under the cunning of heaven, I say to hell with him (applause).
On Constitutional Grounds
You shall seek to carry on these things under the Constitution. You may call me a constitutional matriarch. I prefer to live under any constitution that is not liberal enough to grant me the rights and privileges of the land; and I have selected to live under the British Constitution it is for me to demand my rights under the British Constitution. I am going to demand my constitutional rights as a British subject and the constitutional rights of all who look like me (applause); and I am going to say to the little man in my library 'don't try to interfere with anything that is constitutional because we will awallow you up' (Laughter). I am the last man in the world to attempt anything unconstitutional, but shall demand our constitutional rights everywhere.
bewareme. If any person thinks he must go to provice you so that they can get the better of me, let me tell them that they must go to Jamaica and that they must go to Jamaica.
What Carly Parnell
"We are going to have an early daily paper in late January and those who think they can control us by writing rubbish as they have been doing for the last ten years will praise they will have something to do (applause).
Out for improvement
"The condition of the people must be improved (applause). And any d—vagaband who thinks he can change the policy of Marous Qarvey is fooling himself and will have a bell of a time (applause). Every time I see a dirty black man an illiterate black man, I feel ashamed/of myself. We have to educate them, we have to give them the education and training and we are going to do it no matter what any one wants to do to stop the progress of the black people (applause). If they think they are going to run Marous Qarvey out of Jamaica they are mistaken (applause).
Justice and Rights
"We ask for justice, we seek not to deny the privilege of any group of people—but we, demand our rights everywhere. I speak not only for you, but for Negroes everywhere. We demand our rights in the West Judges in Africa, in America—everywhere. I studied the political life of England, I studied every phase of it; and I know our rights and privileges, and I shall apply my energies, not only in dramas but in real life. The Empire contains satisfied people, as I shall work for the good of the Negroes of America. (Apudance)
The Homogamy of Negroes
What is true of my intentions towards Negroes in the British Empire is also true of my intentions towards Negroes who reside in Canada and America. Our interests are one. There is no doubt that the West Indian Negro, the American, Canadian, and the African Negro have all spring from one family tree. We must come together for our educational, political and economic prosperity—such is being done by other peoples—the Americans, the French, the Indians, the Germans. If it is right for them to deal with each other, it is also right for the black peoples of the world to deal with each other. (Apudase)
Presented Petition—do League
"On these grounds we have presented our case before the people of Europe. We have presided our petition to the League of Nations. We dwelt on nearly every phase of the Negro question. We give to circulate twenty million copies of this petition so that the whole world will be thoroughly informed about the condition of the Negro. If you haven't got one, get it! And next September at the 10th session of the League we are going to have 12 representatives — three from Africa, three from America, three from South and Central America, and three from the West Indies to bear testimony of this important representation we have made before the League. (Applause). We are holding friends during the time — between now and September — so that the matter can be dealt with. That is what we are asking for—the eight to live, as human beings.
The Color Bar
"Men, those of you who do not study the conditions and political changes of the world do not know how much you suffer because of color. The people of Panama who are not purely white have legislated against the black man going to Panama. Thousands of you from the West Indies laid your bones down there in the swamps of Panama digging and digging in malaria to construct the Panama Canal—one of the outstanding features of the world today—and what in the result? The little Panamanian Government has pardoned a law that the black people can't go to Panama, all because you have no independent government to protect on your account. It is only because of the black people who make against you, so when you change your conditions you will compel them to treat your differently. But the Negro is going to rise and he is going to change the pages of history so it does not behoove anybody in criminals or chewhere to treat you indifferently, because the Negro is coming back. As there is a God in Heaven he is coming back! I think God Almighty Himself promised that he would make us come back. (Apollus.)
The Time Has Come
"The time I come" for the Slack man to assert himself, and as long as I live I shall do it, and when I die I shall be glad to cast my manship upon someone as worthless, as myself to carry on, carry on until Africa is redeemed and the world is restored, and I am accompanied throughout the world. What is life if we must live it in misery? Well we say with Patrick Henry: "Is life dear or peace as sweet as to be purchased at the price of china and slavery?" Forbid it Almighty God! I care not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death."
The Equality of Man
The Equality of Man
"I am a man. I demand of the world the place of a man—not that of a dog, not that of a brute beast—but that of a man. I was created in the word by God, by Nature, by the Creative Source that created all mankind, by the first creeps, just created, created equal and not my supper. I believe you may say, by the first creeps, that I am created equal and created. The same nature gives me life and gives me right to give in whatever. Phyllis Cooke self."
"Witnesses the same day of the same world, as any other man who needs the Constitution of a Nation. Nature
I have given you a good account, and you shall give to Him an good an account for creating me as any other man. I will not allow you to be a slave to me, nor to be a slave to my servant. I will never allow him to be to me the terrible peril of that lazy servant, who hid his talent in the ground. And when he calls me to judgment, I shall surely give an account. I shall not leave this world until I leave behind me footprints to tell the way. I walked. What I have done as an Insignificant black boy born under British disadvantages, every other black boy in the world (on the plains). I challenge the man who speaks of mastery. There is no mastery. The world is the province of man and in it I shall find a place.
The Black Man's Day.
The Black Man's Day
I feel honored to be a black man, for this is the black man's day. (Applause.) Four hundred million black men all over the world, and especially in Africa, are looking forward today to the consummation of the building of a mighty empire upon which the sun shall never say. (Applause.) With our experience, our trials and sufferings of the centuries, we can well welcome what it is to have home so that when the time comes again he shall never get it. So that is why I am a black man. Civilizations have passed away. They have risen and have fallen. From Carthage to Rome and imperial Greece; the old empires you have heard of, Nineveh, Tyre, Sidon, Mayson, have all passed away. Others are now on the road traveling towards the cities of millions from which they shall never be resurrected; and whilst they are traveling in the heart we are coming with motor speed in the other direction. (Applause.) And with the experiences of the past we shall build solidly. Africa shall be redeemed despite what others may say. I look forward to the day when the African will be respected like any other man in the world.
The Negro Shall Rise
I can well remember the day when the Jap was not respected, but today he is respected by the whole world because of his power in Japan. Japan is an empire of only 100 islands in the world, and the population of only slightly a million. We are four hundred millions, and when we come into our own within the next twenty years the world will be glad to change its statutes. (Applause). And some of these little people who are writing things that will stand out against them in history will not be forgotten by the Negro. The Negro is not always going to be down, but shall rise, and he is going to remember those who treated him well or badly. (Applause). So it does not suit anybody in England, America, or Jamaica, or anywhere, to undertake the Negro, because the Negro is coming back, as there is a God in it. Mahima shall protect him from hands into his and wives until comfort of Egypt. Prince is coming to our row.
Titular Honors Conferred
The Admiral we created the *Tale* *Homemade*: They find the impatient to ask me who gave the home? Why, Nerges are capable of conferring any honor they give, Nerges home body Davis and call her Lady Staats, because Nerges want to appreciate the services she has rendered, so I call from Nerges, four hundred million Nerges have a right to call anybody any name they want. (Appliances) Nobody can honor me in the world but a Nerges. (Appliances) I cannot not for any honor other than what I get from the Nerges. I shall honor honesty for the Nerges, so that her honesty gives me the respect you have me lost most, and nobody is going to tell me anything to change me from my purpose. (Appliances) No often could I give any wealth, even that of Crosby, nor could they give me any honor; I would never change from my purpose, because I feel with the black man, I have suffered with him. I have passed through his tribulations. And no hard, no God, can convince me either than my own experience, which stands out before me in sharing gold of gold.
An Impartial God
An Impartial God
"God is right; God is love. He never created the world for one set, or for one group, but for all. And so I want to bless you with this thought: God has created his best world for the black people. If I were a white man I would go to it that the world be made a better place for white men, but, fortunately, I am not a white man, I am, honorably, a black man (Apflause) I would not assume."

# A PROGRAM FOR
# COMMUNICATION
NEW YORK, New York, is a city
that study of different forms of
communication that are prevalent
in each society among communities
that are the same size and
dress, the Welfare Council of New York
City has appointed a permanent Com-
munities on Social Problems to study
conditions in the sections of the city
from which their social. Representative
persons of both races are on the com-
mittee.
Among the facts disclosed at the first, meeting of the committee was that the proportion of Nerve mothers forced to be away from their homes was much larger than in any other racial group in the city. Consequently a large number of children have the entire day to themselves, with no restriction upon their activities. In such homes children often cannot enter their apartments until the parents have returned from work.
Certain members of the committee pointed out the need of a new State institution for delinquent boys, declaring that the House of Refuge on Randal's island had established a rule against admission of Negro youth under no place to send the delinquent and he must be placed on probation. The boys know this and stand in 'no fear of arrest, it was said.
First Newspaper Made Of Cornstalks Issued
DANVILLE, Ill. Dec. 15 — Preserves were running tonight in the plant of the Danville CommerCIAL News, printing the world's first newspaper on paper made from cornstalks.
The edition, issued on the regular Sunday morning issue, contains 115 pages, forty-eight of which are rotogravure. The pulp from which this paper was made was manufactured in the pulp mill of the Cornstalk Products Company in Danville and converted into newspaper in the mills of the Kalamazoo Vegetable & Freshfruit Paper Company, at Kalamazoo, Mich. It was made on regular paper-mill machinery and printed on regular newspaper. The first newspaper on pancake paper follows the publication today of the first magazine on paper made from stalks. This was the Prairie Farmer, published in Chicago, which printed its weekly edition on the new product. Of noticeably stronger texture, the newspaper paper made from the cornstalks looks exactly like wood pulp paper. It is very white and takes ink clearly.
While the process was being developed, over two harvest periods, more than $50,000 was paid to farmers in this section for stalks.
The special edition of The Commercial News declares that demonstrations of the practicability of the new product heard a new era in paper making, mean the ultimate solution of finish of the farm-problem by rendering marketable a vast crop which has little to be waste, and hold the answer to the problem of the country's dwindling forests.
Cornetch paper, according to the pulp manufacturers, can be produced at a great reduction in cost as compared with paper from wood pulp.

CONFIANZA EN SI MISMO CONDUCIRA LA RAZA
A FELIZ TERMINO; DEPENDENCIA EN
OTROS SIGNIFICA PERDICION
Es una chiquillada por parte del negro el depender de otros
para levantarse de la probreza en que se encuentra—
Tanto los hombres como las mujeres negras, tienen
que actuar por ellos mismos—El porvenir es brillante,
y todo depende de la habilidad de la raza en coperar—
Todo negro tiene su parte que jugar en el nuevo pro-
grama que ha de anunciarse pronto
Companeros de la Raza Negra, salud:
Dentro de poco tiempo estaremos activamente ocupados en todo el mundo preparandonos para nuestra poderosa Convención. La urgencia no es solamente el prepararnos para esa magna reinión el estar prestos para poner en ejecución el programa que ha de salir de la Convención
Un Programa Poderoso
Jamas en la historia del mundo ha habido ningun otro programa como el que vamos a dar a la luz pública el cual tendrá latente nuestras,energias y toda nuestra atención por los diez años venideros. Ello simplement significa, que todo hombre y mujer de la raza negra tendrá que hacer su parte. Habrá trabajo que llevar a cabo por todos nosotros no habrá razón para hablar como la hace el negro de "que esto no se puede hacer" y "eso no se puede hacer."
Depender en si mismo

Hemos olvidado la orientación de otros como amigos para hacer franqueada día estamos convenidos, que para seguir, nosotros los negros tenemos, que dependir que en nosotros.

Hemos sesado de la dependencia de otros para que nos indique el sendero, que tenemos que seguir. Vamos a encontrar nuestra propia orientación por nosotros mismos. Hemos olvidado la orden de antiope de la dependencia de otros como amigos para hacer franca nuestra vía. Mas y más cada dia estamos convencidos, que para seguir nuestra senda en el mundo, nosotros los negros tenemos que depender en nosotros y ya más mas que en nosotros. Es una tontada, una chiquillada el greer, que ninguna otra raza en el mundo vaya a hacer por el negro lo que esteuda hacer por si propio. Hemos dependido de esta amistad paraiegar a ninguna parte, guiado por la falacia de otros, y esto nos ha trai-del estado de preparación en que nos encontramos al presente. Continuaremos apreciando a nuestros amigos y demosles las gracias a aquellos que hayan podido ser sinceres; por con toda seguridad nos vamos a depender exclusivamente en nuestros propios servicios para que nos levantemos de la miseria económica y política en nos encontramos al presente.

El programa de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra será impulsado de manera que el corazon, y el alma de todo negro se de cuenta del mismo. Este programa tendrá todas las energías de la organización de tal manera como lo ha tenido ningun otro movimiento de la institución. Tenemos que hacer esto, porque el negro se haya en la sera del camino, ya sea para su propia salvación o para completa extermiación.
Actuar por si propio
En todos los actos de nuestra vida debemos actuar por si propio, y he aquí que yo apelé al corazón y alma de todo hombre y mujer negra que nublan el mundo, el que estudien profundamente el programa de la N. I. A.
Se necesitan elementos aguerridos
nos hombres y mujeres aguerridos en todas partes se dediquen altruistically al servicio que le indice de nuestra caiga. Es el mismo sacrificio es lo que ha hecho martires y heroes en todo que han bendicido la humanidad al trayes de la necesidad de buscar en inguna otra parte, sin seguir al pie de la letra el programa de la es nuestra. Estamos viviendo en una otra pervilegio el servirnos; de otra manera nosotque servir.
Voción vivir mejor en esta época que en cualquier otro que es un honor para mi el hacer aui parte ni raza. Tal como yo me siento, me imagino el mundo hacen lo mismo y se sienten de la mund un sentimiento que ha hecho de las otras razas poder que actualmente posen. Vamos adelantener para garantía de nuestra generación.
Necesitamos hombres y mujeres aguerridos en todas partes; hombres y mujeres que se dediquen altruisticamente al servicio que ha de traernos la glorificación de nuestra caixa. El es mismo sacrificio que motivan estos servicios lo que ha hecho martires y heroes en todos los grandes movimientos que han bendicido la humanidad al traves de las edades. El ejegro no tiene necesidad de buscar en ninguna otra parte, ni en ninguna otra dirección, sino seguir al pie de la letra el programa de la U. N. I. A. Lo oportunidad es nuestras. Estamos viviendo en una edad bendita en que es nuestro privilegio el servirnos; de otra manera nosotros somos los que tenemos que servir.
Yo prefiere vivir mejor en esta época que en cualquiera otra epoca porque considero que es un honor para mi el hacer ai parte por el mejoramiento de mi raza. Tal como yo nie siento, me imagino que millones de nosotros en el mundo hacen lo mismo y se sienten de la misma manera.
Es este pues un sentimiento que ha hecho de las otras razas y naciones del mundo el poder que actualmente posgen. Vamos adelante y hagamosos de un porvenir para garantía de nuestra generación.

Estad seguros, como es he dicho antes, que apesar de la calamidad political, e económica que atraviesa, estamos en medio de un periodo de prosperidad que induciblemente confrontamos nosotros y poder afianzartos siempre y cuando estemos prestos a cooperar para el bien común. No es necesario que el negro tenga que depender de alguien para que se le ayude. Como poder, el negro es potencialmente grande, y si solamente siguiera al pie de la letra el programa de la organización, no hay razón el porque no se considere confidente de simismo y se independice por si propio. De aquí que tanto los negro de America, las Indias Occidentales, America Central y del Sur, Canada, Europa y Africa no continuaremos por mas tiempo la practica del apocamiento de espiritu, prequicio parroquial sino que nos aprestemos a realizar que ahora es el tiempo para cada negro del mundo unirse de manera que nuestros esfuerzos económicos, políticos, sociales, educacionales y físicos formen una cadena bien eslabonada y nos presentemos ante el mundo unidos como un pueblo competrado de su deber.

Mavor
La PAZ, Bolivia, dicienbre 19 (AP) (Retrasado)—Anooche a las 9 se efectuó en esta ciudad una monstruosa manifestación patriotica.
El pueblo enardecido recortió las calles de la ciudad-viboriando a Bolivia. De la muchedumbre se destacaron seis jóvenes pidiendo al estado mayor que los enrolar immediatamente, pero el estado mayor les indicó que los llamaria oportunamente.
A pesar de la lluvia la gran muchedumbre se haía provisto de farolillos y antorcfias, ofreciendo un desfile de aspecto fantástico por la aglomeration.
Todos los partidos y todos los dirigentes del país organizan una segunda manifestación monstruo para el donlingo a las 12 del mediodía. Los jóvenes pertenecientes a los contingentes deberan ser llamados si el caso lo requiere y aprestarse para estar listos.
El partido republicano lanzó un vibrante manifesto condensado asi "Si el Paraguay provoca la guerra, los bolivianos acudían en defensa del país hasta el tiempo hombre."
Tambien los periodicos "La Razón" y "El Norte" publicaron implementos extraordinarios. El primer comentando la muerte de los oficiales Manichego y Lozada ocurrida cuando combatian con leones en el fortín "Vanguardia", refiéles tante bien a otros actos paraguayos, diciendo que hemos soportado con pacíciencia las constantes injurias de la prensa paraguaya, sus imprudencia "heroismos", capturando olicales inmeros o atacando con número cuatro veces mayor, muestres fortines, pero lo, ocurrido ayer a las cinco de la mañana en el fortín Van guardia llena torna la medida de todas las prudencias.
"Hay que vengar a Manchego y Lozada. Hay que vengar a Manchego y Lozada. contando todas las consecuencias. Todos junto al gobierno para defender el honor nacional."
El pensamiento general sobre los sucesos, anfecedentes y consecuencias sobre el conflicto, expresado en los perdicios, corrillos y la opinión general, puede sintetizar así:
Abiertas aún las conferencias de Buenos Aires sobre el Chaco, promovidas por la Argentina, la actitud paraguaya atacando el fortin significaria una burla de los acuerdos de caracter tacito y moral para dejar las cosas tal como antes estaban: significaria, ademas, según lo expresan los diarios, el desencocimiento del detección de genes y las normas internacionales.
La Panaméndana de Corrella-
cion y Arbitraja toma también
cartas en el asunto
BUENOS AIRES, diciembre 10
(AP).—El presidente de la Liga Patriótica Argentina has enviado
telegramas a los jefes de estado de Paraguay y Bolivia formulando un
lamamiento a la concordia y la paz de América y pidiendo calma en los
actuales momentos de apasión-
miento.
"La América está ahora en paz
dice el mensaje - y por lo tanto mira
con ansiedad el conflicto entre sus
paises."
La Liga de Naciones
LUGANO. Suiza, diciembre 10
(AP). El choque fronterizo entre las tropas paraguayas y bolivianas hace varios días ha creado un grande interés en la Liga de Naciones desde el punto de vista de la posibilidad de que una de estas naciones pueda apelar a la Liga en relación con el asunto.
Tanto Paraguay como Bolivia somiembros de la Liga de Naciones, aunque Bolivia no asiste a las sesiones desde hace años.
La retirada por Bolivia del ministro del Paraguay se interpreta aquí como indicando que el incidente tiene considerable importancia.
La Panamericana
WASHINGTON, diciembre 10
(AP). Aun antes de conenizar las deliberaciones, en la, conferencia panamericana de conciliación y asitraje reunida aquí se sugririó la posibilidad de que dicha entidad mediaria para solucionar la disputa fronteriza piriguana-boliviana.
La medida fue sugerida por el doctor Orestes Ferrara, embajador de Cuba en Washington y delegada la conferencia, y por el doctor Victor Maurtua. delegado peruano, quien propuso que la conferencia excitara a los disputantes a recurrir a los medios pacíficos para la solución. Hicieron al afecto circular una moción fijando tres puntos entre los delegados, precisamente antes de la llegada del presidente Coolidge, quien inauguro la conferencia con un discuro de bienvenida, siendo el plan obtener suficientes firmas de los delegados para hacer que la cuestión se plantara en la conferencia. Los tres puntos eran los siguientes: Expresar la esperanza de que pudiera mantenerse entre Paraguay y Bolivia buena armonia v. amistad. Recorrar a los dos países los medios pacíficos de que ellos pueden valerse para resolver cuálquiera diferencia internacional.
Pedir al secretario de Estado Kellogg, como presidente de la conferencia, que trasmita la mociion a los dos-paises después de su aprobación.
