The Negro World

BE WARNED! Once in a while it is fitting and imperatively necessary that we recounsel ourselves, because most of the time we are off our guard just when it is necessary for us to be most careful. Unfortunately, while we are thus unprepared and in most cases indifferent to our own interest, those against whom we are struggling to hold a place in the world are always organized to take advantage of every weakness of ours, not only to perpetuate their mastery over us, but to insure our ultimate destruction. It is because of this why I feel it necessary at times to repeat the warning of always being on guard. From my survey of world preparation and activities, I can well foresee the terrible gloom that is to overshadow us if we do not act in the living present to create the future that should be visioned for ourselves. Rescuing the People It is sometimes heart-rending to see how indifferent our people become when, in fact, they should be most vigilant in working toward a permanent solution of our problems and an insurance of our peace and happiness. Those of us who are engaged in the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are kept alive in our enthusiasm by the fact that we cannot save ourselves without saving others, and therefore we have to go into the byways and hedges to rescue those who will not make an effort to rescue themselves. Trying to Exterminate the Negro The most diabolical plots are being laid in America as well as in Africa to ultimately destroy and exterminate the Negro, yet the Negro smiles in the face of these vicious designs seemingly as innocent as a new-born child. When we who understand try to arouse him to the seriousness of his obligations, he frowns, he curses and sometimes makes us ever so disgusted even to help him. This is an unfortunate position for the race to find itself in when we know the other races around us are doing everything to crush us or exterminate us. Biggest Convention in History The Universal Negro Improvement Association is offering the last hope to the Negro peoples of the world in the calling of the Sixth Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world. If the Negroes of America, the West Indies, South and Central America Members of the Negro Race Are Warned Against Indifference at a Time When Superior Forces Are Moving Heaven- And Earth to Hold Them Perpetu- ally in Subjection EVERY NEGRO MUST BE ON GUARD New Obstruction Being Placed in the Way of the Organization Is But Part of a Studied Policy to Destroy the Negro's Hope and Ambition Every Division and Chapter Must Become Financial so as to Qualify for Representation in the 6th International Convention and Africa will not hear then, they will be left entirely to die by the wayside as it is planned by the superior forces operating against the race. It is not necessary to reveal certain things at the present time, but it is well that the American wing of the Negro race be advised that the most diabolical plot for the complete subjugation of the race in America has been laid by the white man, and, in the urge to execute it, there will be no stopping in moving heaven and hell; therefore, all the obstruction placed in the way of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is only another effort to stop the Negro in the most serious effort he has made to retrieve himself and to hold his own as a man among the races of the world. Fortunately, however, all of us are not blind to this, and so we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are beseeching each and every unit of the race to come together and to make this our Sixth International Convention the biggest thing on the record of human activities. All Divisions Must Report Every branch, division and chapter and member of the Organization must now hew to the line. Let no encumbrance stand in the way; let no difficulties thwart you from linking your forces in the effort to evolve a united program out of which we shall be able to solve the grave problems confronting us. As stated in my last article, every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must now be on duty to see that his branch, division or chapter of the Organization lives up to its constitutional obligations to the Parent Body. We want co-operation, we want unity within the organization, therefore, there is no time for perpetuating that slackness of method that has practically brought the Organization to a standstill. We repeat that no division, branch or chapter will be recognized at the Convention that is not prior to the Convention six months in good financial standing with the Parent Body. This applies to every division; large or small. No person or representative from any branch, division or chapter will be recognized at the Convention as a delegate to speak to the Organization whose division, chapter or branch of the Organization is not in good financial standing as above stated. No division, therefore, that is not financial with the Parent Body should make the mistake of sending a delegate to the Convention. This has been determined upon because we realize that a large number of the divisions have been violating the constitution and using the funds of the Parent Body for their own purposes, yet the whole world looks to the Parent Body to execute the program of the Organization. The Parent Body has suffered much in the past in this direction; therefore, we are determined that the future must bring about a more uniform observance of the constitution. All members are requested to pay their annual assessment tax. No division will be allowed to retain any portion of this tax, but it must be forwarded to the Parent Body to meet the obligations necessary to carry on the program of the Organization. We are looking forward to a new and better Organization to make the Universal Negro Improvement Association what it ought to be. Everyone, therefore, ought to be encouraged, because the signs are hopeful. If our forces will all line up, as we hope they will for the Convention, we shall rise from the Convention with a mighty program and a willing determination to see that 1929 is written indelibly on the pages of history as the starting off of a new era in the life of the four hundred million Negroes of the world. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. Marvin Sawey President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association. Kingston, Jamaica, B. W.

He was a clerk in the American Consulate at Port-au-Prince from September, 1922, to January 1 of this year, when he resigned.] BY NAPOLEON BONAPARTE MARSHALL In consequence of the annual reports of Gen. John H. Russell, the American High Commissioner to Haiti, and a press bureau, the American people have the notion that Haiti's prospering under the American occupation. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have spent six years in the United States Legation at Port-au-Prince and have been in a position to study minutely the trend of affairs in that unhappy republic. When I left there a few days ago misery prevailed everywhere. If the purpose of the occupation of Haiti by the armed forces of the United States was to crush the spirits of a free and sovereign people and reduce them to a dependent state, that purpose has been brilliantly achieved. When I went to Haiti six years ago, I found a cheerful, light-hearted people, hopeful of the future. They had confidence in the pleaded word of the Americas to remit to them their native soil at the expiration of the treaty. They believed that the Americas had come into their miser with the high part and deep interested purpose of helping them to rise to higher levels, politically and economically. which, in primal beauty, surpasses the world's famous harbor of Naples. There houses or villas, as well as the Grand National Palace, nesting at their base in the beautiful Chani-de-Mars, were constructed for the most part by a Haitian architect, M. George Lauan, who received his education in Paris. And yet the Americans point out to the tourists and other travelers Today, that confidence has gone and in its places have come bitter disappointment and despair. It seems that many Americans the government has sent down to Haiti look with disfavor and contempt upon the cultural side of the Haitians. Perhaps this attitude springs from the fact that in education and refinement of manners, as well as in personal appearance, the Haitians have been more prior to anything this brand of Americans has exhibited there. This is more pithyly described in an advertisement of Mr. Snook's book, "The Magic Joke," which appeared in a recent issue & the New York Times. Vocedoo Orgies Myths "Pride and self-sufficiency almost destroyed, racial equality gone, but at the same time a new standard of living (roads, construction, industry), by virtue of Yankee methods and U.S. gold." This advertisement appeared in Porter-Puente before I left there and produced considerable indignation. During my six years in Haiti I have never seen the orgues which Mr. Seabrook described, and I have traveled more into the interior than he has. In exchange for cultural values requiring centuries to develop, one is given certain economic values of a transitory nature, of even doubtful utility. The instances where American-made roads and bridges have been destroyed by the first violent rainstorm after their construction are not few, and such roads, as have been constructed, are totally inadequate for thirteen years of American occupation. As to Yankee methods and U. S. gold," the Huffmans may have an erroneous conception. "For they actually believe that when they borrowed $40,000,000 from the National City Bank of New York and hypotheticated their national customer duties in payment of the same, the money belonged to them and that these roads have been built with their own money under the supervision of American engineers. In other words they say they have been built on their own premises." There is no prettier city in the Antilles than Port-au-Prince. Its buildings represent an architecture all its own. Constructed of white rock and native cement, studded in carelessly caring sites on the sides of the footballs, of Morne Hospital rising at the southeast of Port-au-Prince they present a charming specimen to the traveller, as his ship enters the harbor, How Thin Men and Women Gain Weight McCoy's Tablets, sugar-coated and easy to take and will not upset or even disturb the most delicate stomach. strength-creating, weight-producing tablets are now sold in every drug billion of Ozs are used every month.

Just ask for McCoy's balance at any store in America. which, in primal beauty, surpasses the world's famous harbor of Naples. These houses or villas, as well as the Grand National Palace, nestling at their base in the beautiful Chanji-de-Mars, were constructed for the most part by a Haitian architect, M. George Dausan, who received his education in Paris. And yet the Americans point out to the tourists and other travelers that these works, including the Caracas de Dessalpes were built by them. From top, aperture down to buck private one, can hear the bonet: "We done this; we came here to train these Haitian Niggers." Bridges Badly Built Not so many months ago a very important bridge, over the 'treacherous stream of Limite on the road from Port-au-Prince to Cape Hayley was swept away. Immediately, the news was canceled to the American press that an unprecedented storm, causing the deaths of three or four hundred natives, had done the unintended. This was not true. The truth was that the American engineers had ignored advice of their co-inhabitating Haitian engineers to construct this bridge at another place. A little later the bridge leading into island, costing some $45,000, was decommissioned an ordinary storm for that locality. The Haitian government a strong protest and the responsible American engineer was relieved of his duties. These are only a few instances of administrative on the part of the Department of Public Works under the control of a chief American engineer. But we were talking about the effects of the occupation upon the social life of the Huttians. Not content with driving the upper classes, from their pretty homes by offers of attractive rentals which their high-salaried positions enabled them to make, the American invaders sought, to take away their property, and cornerstone of their religious and nosthetic culture, the Church of Sacre Coeur at Turguei, the fashionable quarter of Port-au-Prince. Close Social Club Although their hearts were bleeding, the coup de grace was given when a few days before the arrival of Col. Lindbergh at Port-au-Prince, an American officer with a squad of gentle mendigars, descended upon "le Cœur Belloue," the leading club of that city, and scaled it under orders of the government. This charge was that the cessions, which was not true, end, if true, they so engaged themselves with as much decorum as the members of the Union Club of New York City. The basic truth was, first, that this world-known club had refused to issue invitations to President Borno and his family for its grand annual ball, and second, that it had prepared to offer an elaborate dinner to Senator King Atalanta at the Palace of San Antonio from Santo Domingo City was prevented by Haitian gendarmes under the orders of President Borno. From that moment, down to the present time Halitan society has ceased to exist. The other clubs, a half dozen or more, have ceased to function out of sympathy with the "Cercle Belloche" and the time honored weekly "at homes of the Halitan society, are a shipe of the past. People do not even know the names of the Americans at Port-ay-Prince and always looked with an envious eye upon the specious fame hall and splendid appointments of this club, and a few days after, its closing, a marine corps, apprehended the prodigy of this club, Mr. George Legrand, whom it offered for the rental to the American colony. Of course the elites were curtly refused, and the club still WASHINGTON, Feb. 9—Settlement of Nicaragua's three years of civil strife was reposted officially to the Nicaragua Legation here tonight. Announcement that Sandino's followers have fled beyond the border and that peace has been "re-established throughout Nicaragua" was made in a brief statement by Charge D'Africas Carazo, after he had received a communique from Munguza from President Jose M. Moncada. His statement said this sequestration has been officially informed by the Nicaragua government today that Sandino's hands have left Nicaragua territory and that peace has been re-established throughout Nicaragua." ... Sandino Believed Dead There was no indicative that the Nicaraguan government knew the whereabouts of Sandino himself, although the charge said that when he left Mangaua less than a month ago it was generally believed that the rebel leader had been dead for some time. He admitted that it was impossible to obtain confirmation of the reports of death. The statement from the Nicaraguan Legation apparently, had been anticipated in diplomatic circles. The State Department has had no word from Mangaua, but it was intimated that the announcement seemed in line with recent developments. For some time the department has received no reports of banditry by Sandino followers, and it was generally believed that the situation at the airport being rapidly cleared up. Thong at the State Department who are familiar with Central American affairs have believed that it was Sandino's strategy to withdraw across the Honduran boundary, when he was threatened with capture. Revolt :Bagan :in 1925 Africans in Nicaragua have been turbulent since August, 1825, when ex-President Emilio Chamorro acted control of the government three weeks after American marines had been withdrawn. Rewolutions promptly broke out, and Chamorro after ten months, was forced out of office. He was succeeded by Senator Uriza, but when the United States refused to recognize that government, Adolto Díaz was elected by the Nicaraguan Congress, and recognized by the United States. Within a short time, however, Dr. Sasagua, a liberal, preclaimed himself President of Nicaragua, and obtained the recognition of Mexico. With the army sent to the Sasagua followers from Mexico, a new revolution broke out, and marines were ordered back to Nicaragua to protect the lives of American In March, 1827, Henry L. Stinson, now Governor General of the Philippines and possible choice as next Secretary of State, was sent to Nicaragua by President Cortázade, and arrangements were made for American supervision of the elections of the following year. A disarmament of all warring factions was arranged. The terms of the truce were accepted by all leaders except Sindino, one of Montecillo's tenants, who fled into the hills and began guerrilla warfare which has continued since. Reported in Mexico TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, Feb. 5—"El Sol" today publishes the following: "We learn from excellent sources that Saulino is connected with an important group of anti-imperialists" in Mexico and South America who have offered him aid in form of war material of every kind. "Sandino's plan is to attack and oust" (Continued on page 6) Negro Boy Is Rescued From Band of Gypsies Who Held Him Slave HOUSTON, Tex. — Months alone in the city, he was a roaming band of expatriates and now, maybe, a place to call home. Probation officers Thursday were hoping some Holtonian will offer quarters for an orphaned North youth who was freed from the clutch of a band of grypates who paused in their wanderings to camp near Cottage Grove. For years, Mr. Williamson explained, the boy has been the virtual slave of the vagabond wanderers. He was forced to long hours of drudry, commanded to do work that would tax the strength of a man. The food he was given was hardly sufficient to nourish him. He was born in Memphis. When he was six his father died; three years later his mother was taken. During months that followed the homeless life wild would follow the adventive living or be dead. Then one day the gryp band came alone guided him up and carried him away. The government has sentied (says the Pratistra correspondent of the 'Burgee') to dismiss 120 natives engaged as cleaners in various government buildings and to replace them by Europeans. This step will be taken in consequence of an agitation on behalf of the European unemployed. The matter was discussed by the Cabinet and the step is to be taken at once. The cleaners will receive a starting wage of 5 shillings 6 pence a day. Christ as Solution Of Racial Problem Urged by Pastor NEW. YORK, Feb. 11.—An appeal for utilizing the principles of Christ to solve the difficulties inherent in the association of 'different racial groups' was made by the Rev. Dr. L. Ernest Sunderland, superintendent of the Protestant Episcopal City Mission Society at the Church of the Inoculation, Thirty-fourth street, yesterday morning. "As the colored race is, the largest racial group in New York City, aside from that of the white race, and as it is constantly increasing in size, helpfulness to this group is an undertaking of growing, importance," he declared. "It will be a long time before the colored people of the city can by themselves fully meet their problems created by poverty, unprotected childhood and deprivation, age, need, and last two generations, is striking evidence of their initiative and generosity. "There is a growing group of well-educated young colored men and women coming up in this country who are logically the leaders of the future among their people. The interest of the churches in them has much to attract their leadership and to react in their fine spirit of helpfulness of their own." PALESTINE RENOVATES THE CITADEL OF DAVID Government Expends $35,000 to Save Ancient Structure JERUSALEM, Feb. 3.—One of the famous tourist sights of the Holy City, known as the Citadel of David, with its large minaret on Zion Hill, is being restored. The structure was in danger of collapse, mainly now a result of damage caused by earthquakes, but the government appropriated $25,000 for reconstruction work. Contrary to what its name implies, this is not the famous Citadel of David, but of more recent construction, According to Moslem tradition, the burial place of King David is said to be near by, at the spot where Chaght and His disciples took the last supper. Contentious Rights Bill in South Africa Parliament CAPETOWN, South Africa, Feb. 12. Premier J. E. Hertzog today unleashed the controversial native question into the legislative arena. The joint sitting of the House Assembly, and the Senate, he introduced, the Native representation bill and the Colored Persona' Rights bill. Both bills were condemned by Gen. Jan C. Smuts, former premier. The government's policy in to take away the parliamentary franchise from natives in the Capo Province. In turn providing special parliamentary representatives for all natives, with local native councils, and land segregation. The opposition, under Gen. Smuts would extend the existing native parliamentary franchise, and the general has attacked the apparent intention of the government to fight the coming election on this issue. British Police Shoot 3,000 in Ceylon Strike COLOMIBO, Coylon, Feb. 11—C.N. G.—A company of British police here fired over a hundred rounds into a demonstration of 15,000 striking longshore and tramway workers, killing and injuring over 1,000. The strikers were listening to speeches by attack leaders when attacks were made on them with clubs to break up their meeting. The strikers not only resisted this wanton assault, but advanced to the police station by thousands. The police and military opened fire on the crowd as it was approaching the station, and the workers, charging over their dead, broke into the station, partially burned it, and drove away the fire department when it tried to put out the fire. The entire native population, mostly Sinhalese, is nothing with sedation and anesthesia for the strike. An independence movement is taking form. The entire harbor and the railway systems of Colombo and neighboring country is in the. The harbor worker striker started ten days ago because of police arrests and brutality in the tramway strike, which began around weeks ago. EGYPT'S RIGHTS "an eight-page quarto monthly, Egypt, has opened the Wafd campaign in London for the restoration of the Egyptian Constitution. It opens declares that Egypt "cannot be governed in opposition to the Wafd, which is the Egyptian nation." It mentions the suspension of the Egyptian Parliament last year for three years by King Fusud and says the opposition of the Wafd had brought England face to face with the following alternative: Either to get out of Egypt or to restore her pre-war dominance through the king, just as she had formerly ruled through the Khedive. She chose to remain. The suppression of the Wafd organ at Caliro last December had been explained in London on the ground that it contained a certain article sending to execlte treason against the government and throne. The Wafd explanation, received by Egypt from Caliro, runs as follows: The government has suppressed the newspaper Wedi-eil-Nil on the pretext that it had published an article calculated to excite the people's minds against the present regime, and on account of its considered audacity toward the king. The article impugned contained only an account of news which has been already circulated in all circles concerning the high commissioner's visit to the king in Alexandria. This visit was extraordinary by reason of its circumstances and of the results. After the visit the high commissioner returned to his train at Sill Gaber, followed soon after by Nessim Pasha (the principal palace dignitary). The departure of the train was delayed for twenty-seven minutes, until the English chief of the Alexandria police returned from his visit to Mohala Kobra (where Prince Yussuf Kemal has a country seat). The high commissioner awaited his return in order personally to hear his report. "The following day saw extraordinary results. In the first place, a royal proscript was issued, fixing the date of the election of the Coptic Patrishler, after prolonged disputes and procrastination for unknown reasons. The high commissioner interfered, backing one Coptic camp against another. Secondly, the high commissioner advised the king to bestow sufficient support to the authority of the present premier by issuing decrees which the prime minister demanded should be issued concerning the treatment of administrative officials and the appointment of Ismail Sidky Pasha as auditor-general. "In the third place, there was the rumor of the princes intended issue of a manifesto demanding the restoration of the Parliamentary regime; but the high commissioner, it was reported, had sent Mr. Ingram (Alexandra commandant of police) to Mehala Kobra to see Prince Yusuf Kemal and to tell him that the princes were prohibited from taking such a step. "These details, though widely circulated, when printed caused the suppression of Alexandria's leading organ without previous warring. The article in question appealed to the premier not to lose all valuable resources of foreign interference, and to the high commissioner to observe that neutrality upon which official emphasis had no often been said." Papal State Smallest Country in the World The newly created Papal State has an area slightly less than one-sixth of a square mile. It is only about one-sixth of the size of the next smallest country in the world, the Principality of Monaco, which has an area of eight square miles. Next to the Papal State and Monaco, the smallest sovereign state in existence is the independent Republic of San Marino, which has an area of eight square miles. The Principality of Liechtenstein has 85 square miles of territory and the Republic of Andorra 191 square miles. The population of the Papal State is estimated at 500. Andorra has about ten times that many citizens. Liechtenstein twenty times as many. San Marino 12,000 and Monaco 22,000. DO YOU NEED HELP?

STIMSON PRAISES FILIPINO LEADERS FOR CO-OPERATION Progress of Islands Has Been Advanced—Goal of Freedom and Self-Government Much Neater—Economio Development is Stressed WASHINGTON, Feb. 11—Tribute to the friendly cooperation of Philippine leaders was paid by Governor General Henry L. Stimson in his farewell address to the Philippine Legislature Saturday. The text of the address was received hero today by the Bureau of Insular Affairs. It was delivered in response to testimonials of appreciation by Filipinos and to a resolution of the Legislature congratulating Mr. Stimson upon his selection for 'another office of greater importance' and to be the post of Secretary of State in the Hoover Cabinet. The Governor General, referred to his policy of economic development, "I wish to be as say my farewell to you," he continued, "that in surging you along this pathway of economic development I had not only in mind the desire that you should have a higher, civilization, a more comfortable-material life, a greater enjoyment of the good things, in life which you have come to appreciate and enjoy, a greater measure of education, a greater measure of good health, a greater measure of comfort, business and along with that, I have had the faith that, by so doing, you were traveling along the road-which leads eventually to self-government and freedom." Mr. Stinson recalled that before he took the Governor-Generalship Manuel Quezon, President of the Senate, and Senator Omega called upon him in New York and urged him to go to the Philippines as a duty. "They told me," he added, "that, if I would come, we were prepared to do their uttermost to help to make our Philippine state succeed and that they were prepared to that end to co-operate and to try to do their best to see that co-operation was perfect between the executive and the legislature. "The promise, he said, had been "fulfilled the utmost measure." Speaker Roxas of the Filipino House in presenting Mr. Stimson at the session, said that his accomplishments and "strengthened the confidence of our people in the generous and altruistic purposes of America in our country and has laid down the foundations for a truly responsible government here." The Legislature re-appointed Pedro Guerva and Camilo Osas as Resident Commissioners to the United States and named Senators Quizon and Osmeña and Speaker Roxas a committee to present petition, before Congress. LONDON, Feb. 8.—An extraordinary story of a Hungarian film company's alleged treatment by the British authorities in the mandated territory of Tanganyika, as told by a member, who has just returned from Vienna, is telegraphed by The Daily Express Vienna correspondent. The film expedition was headed by Count Michael Esterhayz, and the film operator, Herr Nowak, who narrates the story, alleges that the expedition was pursued through the African jungle by British troops, that his films were confiscated and that an order nowak made for his expedition. Nowak means expedition charges concerning the toleration of slavery in Tanganyika and is declared that it was in order to prevent a photographic record of the conditions from being made the British authorities took this action. The expedition's purpose was to "shoot" a film by Franz Polák called "Black and White Ivory," to demonstrate the alleged existence of black slaves as well as white. The British Governor. It is said, disguised the film, was an important prologue of British colonial life, selected to complement the reputation of great British throughout the world, and surrounded emphatically. But neither, while not black slavery—was tolerated in the northern. Chinese Nationalists Start Movement to Induce Well-to-Do to Return Home and Pool Their Wealth for the National Good PEKING. — The intensive "back-to-China" movement is being launched all over the country under the auspices of the Kuomintang party, and hundreds of thousands of letters and millions of pieces of printed matter will soon be en route to Chinese living overseas, urging them, for the sake of their fatherland, to come back to China to reside. Chinese who live abroad, as a class, are immensely more prosperous than the average Chinese citizen living in China. They have annually remitted several hundred millions to their homeland in the form of gifts to families, to religious institutions and to special causes and charities. The Kiomintang party alone has benefited by such remittances by more than $40,000,000 annually during the last years—money sent by patriots living abroad who believed that the Kiomintang offered China's best hope of evolving a stable government. The Yokohama Specie Bank admits that last year it handed $160,000,000 Mex. in remittances sent home by Chinese. The 250,000 Chinese in the Philippines sent home $12,288,000 in remittances and their checks are in 170,000 Chinese, and their checks and draits sent home last year totaled $10,025,000. From Chinese in North and South America and in Europe the average annual remittances age in excess of $50,000,000. Most, of which comes from the United States. Those in the Dutch East Indies, numbering $10,000, sent from $10,400,000. From the 1,500,000 Chinese in Siam, the $300,000 Chinese in China, and the $300,000 in Burma, the total remittances last year were $642,000. China does not urge the laboring coilies to return, for unemployment here is already distressing. What she wants is to lure home the well-to-do merchants, bankers and farm owners. She wants them to sell their bysses possessions and to bring the money back to China—to use this vast array of Chinese laborers and Chinese industries and natural resources. The movement, now being made official and national in scope, has been going on in a small way from Kwanteng and Fukien Provinces, but the results have been discouraging. Rich Chinese living abroad have, in many cases, replied that, while they are not averse to sending home a portion of their incomes, they do not want to bring their hard-eyon fortunes home until they are assured that the days of huge taxes, extortion and corruption are a thing of the past. Residence abroad has taught them the desirability of law, order and stability.

Marous Garvey Unfalteringly and Support the Program NEW YORK, Liberty Hall, Sunday Night, Feb. 10. — The weekly mass meeting of the Garvey Club, Inc., saw an enthusiastic gathering of the stanch adherents of Garveyism in New York City. Mr. J. Pettis, Vice-President, occupied the chair, while the principal address was delivered by Mme. M. L. T. De Mena, Asst. International Organizer. An excellent musical program was staged, after which the speech-making, a report of which follows, took place. MRS. CAPERS' ADDRESS Mrs. Capera, Lady President, said: "My aim is glad to mingle with you tonight to strengthen your bondhood. We need not worry about the troubles and difficulties that may surround us from time to time. If anything awaits you, it can't be much if you can get it without encountering some difficulty. So long as our leader lives, I shall never hold my head down. Let us march on to success, for he leads the way. He is warning us to be careful of those who go around us. He is telling us what to do for the benefit of ourselves as a race of people. As long as we do not do what he says to us, we shall be always in the rut and shall be the sufferers. Any time the people do not do what Garvey says, they are bound to stumble. The Hon. Marcus Garvey needs money to put the program over, and we shall see to it that we make our monthly reports to him without fall. Garvey will be the proprietor of the program is at our very door. Can't you see it, friends? The daily trend of events is sufficient warning, and we must take notice of it. We do not intend for our children's children to suffer as we have suffered, therefore, let us, as men and women, wake up to our responsibilities as a race of people. MR. A. A. McKENZIE'S ADDRESS Mr. McKenzie spoke as follows: Again, friends. I am pleased to be with you tonight and to speak to you in my own way. Once we were blind, but now we can see, for the light of the world is Marcuss Gabey. Our fathers would have wished to see this day but diet without seeing the program made. Our fathers were brutalized and cruelly treated by those who held them as slaves. How can we forget such history made by men who call themselves our superiors? If we are to get anywhere we must put our energy and forces together to solve the Negro question that faces us.

The uniform rank stages a unique demonstration on that occasion and co-operated admirably in making the meeting the splendid success it was. Young men and women without age ambition, going each day and do not care where they are going, do not realize the danger that awaits them as a people. It is time that they wake up to the seriousness of the age and fall in line with us in this program of an Africa redeemed and a government to protect them from the many injustices that are meted out to them each day. The voice of the Hon. Marcus Garvey is calling in the wilderness. Africa is calling her sons and daughters, therefore, let us heed the call. Let us get down to business and build for ourselves an ark of safety in the wilderness, given by government and people. Negro that tries to impede the program of their own race is a disgrace to postity, and the mother who brought him into the world. Those of us who mean, to stand by the principles of this association are here to tell them that they cannot kill the spirit of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, for he stands for justice and truth. Hon. W. C. Jackson, special representative of the parent body, spoke as follows: Officers and members of the Garvey Club of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I am indeed proud to be with you here tonight and to bring a message from the Philadelphia branch to you. They have told me to tell you that, if you hold on in New York, they will hold on in Philadelphia. In spite of the obstacles that they have encountered, they are more determined to carry out the alms and objects of this great association. When once the Negro becomes inoculated with the spirit of Garveyism, the devil in hell cannot change him. When Gayeve came to America they thought he was crazy; they said he was a dreamer; then let him dream. The world at this time is planning to exterminate the Negro. The stronger races have always sought to destroy the weak, and those whom God raises up to defend their own; but they may as well make up in their minds that we are bound to succeed. They may talk about peace, but the world ought to know that there will be no peace as long as the world holds a single slave. Determined to Succeed "Those of us, who have caught the spirit are determined, and we are entitled to a part of the world. If they think that they are, going to rob us of our motherland, someone is gone crazy. We have heard the moans and groans of those of our race who have robbed us of our land, and the stake. Then we swear to our God that Africa must be free from those who rob and exploit her. When God made him, he breathed into his frame the breath of life, and told him, "You, are the architect of your life; your destiny lies in your hands." My people have been falling on their knees asking for God to come down from heaven. Now, what are you worrying God for? The white women have told their men to go out and bring them gold and diamonds for their existence and comfort; yet we find them working our men and women for a patry gum to exist on. The Negro is always singing, "I have my ticket," and waiting on the Lord to call for them. I say into them, "There is too much work to be done in behalf of your race. Get off your knees and save yourselfs and your posterity from annihilation and serdem." After you have succeeded, then get on your knees and thank God. - My parting message is, Keep the wife a CEDO-BAG and take her order. We deliver and collect.

Name Address All divisions, chapters, individual managers and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are hereby notified that the offices of The Negro World and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, comprising the American wing of the organization, are now located at 355 LENOX AVENUE NEW YORK CITY Hon. Mme. M. L. T. De Mena, Asst. International Organizer, said: In a few hours we shall be celebrating the memory of one of the great figures in history. February 12th, 120 years ago, that great character, Abraham Lincoln, was born, and we feel tonight that if Lincoln rose from the log cabin to the presidency of a great nation through perserverance, these fragments of pur race, led by Marcus Garvey, will finally found a nation of Negroes, not as a menace to civilization, but as a constructive force, whose struggles in the past teaches 'thom that. if America, today can point to its 'struggles, will paint in his Bottle of Gettysburg and build a monument upon the continent of Africa where our citizens can come from far and near and honor the man who accomplished for the Negro. Through the advent of Garvey we are becoming more and more alive to the values of events and the powers of men; for that reason it is fitting that we stop to give cognizance to the life of such a great character as Abraham Lincoln — whatver might have been the motive that prompted the signing of the emancipation declaration. We intend to transform the white man's hate to that of kindness by showing him our ability to carry on as a separate group. Alarm in Africa. "The papers' bring to us the news of great alarm in South Africa. The white people in South Africa are growing more alarmed every day over what they term "the native problem." There are 6,000 blacks, mulattoes and East Africans in South Africa and only 1, $000,000 white people. The darker peoples are struggling for a larger measure of control in their own country, politically and industrially, while the whites, at least some of them, are not only determined to keep the colored folks in the place they now occupy but are even talking of pushing the dark brethren farther down the social and industrial scale. The relations between Jan C. Simuts and the Hortzog group are growing worse, while the natives are growing louder and louder in their demands for a larger share in government and industry. 'And now, my friends, let us stop going about complaining, but begin to recoup our losses through sincere cooperation. As long as the business of the Negro Race or organization is shaken in suspicion there can be no progress, Let your contribution to this cause be a pleasure, not a tast. Whatever might have been the shortcomings in the past, the Garvey spirit has made us New Negroes. No knocking or criticizing will help. We have decided, we, the real Garveyletes, to look for the best and not the worst. The great newspapers of the country use valuable space lambasting. Marcus Garvey because Garvey has achieved. Garvey's slogan is that the world should be equally divided, and he goes about seeing that we wake up to the idea of getting our share of it, and not getting ours. He says that who has robbed us of our heritage. Since this is true, what are you going to do about it? Help the man who keeps you bound to poverty and shame? There is a serious need of organization. Whatever are the white man's reasons for his acts today, the effect is evident. Let us not be satisfied. Garvey's constant rap at the door of opportunity, will some day open the door to our millions. Bill to End Daylight Saving Introduced in Legislature. ALBANY, Feb. 11—Abolishment of daylight saving is provided under a bill introduced in the Legislature tonight by Assemblyman Louis A. Cuvillier, Democrat, of New York City, who declared that "a few politicians and cranks" were responsible for the "inconvenience, annoyance and many disappointments" caused by lack of uniformity in time through the State. The bill, which repeals the present law permitting municipalities to elect to adopt daylight saving in summer months, was asserted by its sponsor to be presented in the interest of "standard time the world over." Cat Rone M. L. T. DE MENA, Assistant International Organizer ASSURING FIXED INCOME FOR HOWARD UNIVERSITY Secretary of Interior Holds Conference to Discuss Plans for Carrying Out - Provisions of New Federal Law As a result of a definite law enacted by Congress authorizing Federal aid to Howard University, the leading Negro institution of higher education in the United States, Secretary West, held a conference in his office at the Interior Department to coordinate plans to carry out provisions of the new statute. One of its terms provides that the university shall be open at all times to an inspection by the Bureau of Education and that such an inspection shall be at least once a year. A report is to be presented annually by the Bureau to Congress making a full exhibit of its affairs. On account of the fact that Howard University is a privately controlled and supported institution the adoption of a definite policy regarding the division of the support-to be derived from Federal and private sources is necessary. While the Federal government has been making appropriations of various sums annually to the institution since 1873 the status of these appropriations has been uncertain, due to the fact that they were not actually authorized by a basic law. This has also affected to a large extent contributions for the university's support from private sources. The conference discussed plans for stabilizing future appropriations by the government under the new law with a view of assuring a "regeneration" of the institution. Sergeation of federal funds for maintenance and new buildings was also considered. Another important subject under discussion was the promotion of medical and dental education and the training of teachers for the Negro race at the institution. The outcome of the conference was a general agreement concerning the desirability of establishing a plan for a systematic program of support for the university through a considerable period of years. Inspections by the Bureau of Education are to be comprehensive in scope, including every phase of activity of the institution. The reports of the bureau to Congress may contain recommendations for a ten or twenty-year program of Federal support and for the development of the various educational services offered by the university. A building program for the improvement of the physical plant may also be included in the bureau's recommendation. Sailors - Continue Attacks On New York Negroes NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—C.N.S.—The United States Navy seems to be determined to keep the Negro "in his place," in the United States as in Hawaii. Today, two donghong members of the crew of the U. S. S. Wyoming, very much under the influence of liquor, and angered by the sight of a Negro having a seat on a 14th Street Canarsis local, while they were forced to stand, attacked the Negro as the train pulled into the Grand Street station. By the time the train had arrived at the Lorimer Street station, the more pugnacious of the two members of the navy had used a half dozen handkerchiefs to stem the flow of blood from an extremely sore nose. When the train arrived at its destination, Bedford Avenue, the comrade of the injured sailor, who up to this point had not taken part in the major portion of the battle, attempted to effect the James Dale, of St. Albans, Long Island, from the train. When another Negro interceded, he was told to "shut ya mouth, yer only a young kid, so shut ya mouth before I shut it for ya." A struggle took place and Lee was finally born to the platform of the station, the other Navy officer. Two policemen approached while the struggle was going on, and the navy beat a hasty retreat into a train which had just pulled into the station.

Commissioners of Health Wynne Says Institution Will Be Put on Self-Sustaining Base NEW YORK, Feb. 18—A plan to establish the East Harlem Health Center on a permanent, self-sustaining basis at a cost of $250,000 was announced by Health Commissioners Shiffler, W. Wynne yesterday. On the site of the present building there will be erected a sixteen-story apartment house and professional building, the first three floors of which will be occupied by the health center agencies. "The constantly growing volume of work," said Dr. Wryne, who is chagman of the campaign sponsoring committee, "has led to serious overcrowding of the present headquarters of the health center, so that about one-third of the health agencies are now forced to move space outside of the building. They have also agreed to place equipped with more adequate facilities and assured of permanent self-support." More Health, Centers Planned The East Harlem Sealth Center was established in 1921 by the American Red Cross as one of the first district health centers in New York City. The co-operation of twenty-three public and voluntary health and welfare agencies, under the leadership of the Department of Health, has demonstrated to the 100,000 residents of Harlem the value of team work in Improvement. At present there are six such health centers in Greater New York, and it is hoped to create a network of them throughout the city. "To establish such a chain of health centers would require an outlay of $15,000,000," said Dr. Wynne, quoting Homer Folks, of the Welfare Council of New York City. "As yet no one has had the vision to provide this comprehensive health Center is going ahead on the ground." Dr. Wynne pointed out that the rental income from its building would make the health center self-supporting. But that the only way it has of obtaining the $30,000 necessary to construct such a building is by an appeal to the public. JOHANNESBURG, Feb. 8—Proof of the existence of a primitive pregoleidace face in South Africa is in thought by scientists to have been found in fossils recently uncovered in the Transvaal. The remains of a primitive man, found in the same stratum with a new extinct species of gaintobufalo known as "Babahai Bahali," formed grounds for the belief. The discovery is expected to stimulate scientific research in that region. NEW South Carolina Governor Vetoes Compulsory.School Law to Hamper Negroes South Carolina Governor Vetoes Compulsory.School Law to Hamper Negroes GREENEVILLE, B. C. — Governor Richards veted the compulsory school attendance law fearing that it would put thousands of colored children in school who are not now receiving an education. Writing his reasons for vetting the law, the governor said: "South Carolina has a condition that is peculiarly her own and while it is not necessary to discuss this phase of the question, it should be evident to every one that this condition of itself makes a state-wide compulsory law both impractical and inexpert." The last report of school attendance in South Carolina shows 2384 colored children in school and 1 enrollment of 248,727 white children. There are more colored schools now than white in the state, 2,379 colored, and 1,356 white schools, although the great preponderance of colored schools are in the one-teacher class. Whiten average 133 pupils to each school and colored 95 pupils to each school. The, Greenville Daily News, white, attacking Governor Richard's for vetoing the bill, after it had been passed by the Legislature, said: "Doek the governor object to hav- tablets pirin each Mature 2 Tablets water inside company Inc.

Color Bar Bill in South Africa "Outrage Against Humanity" LONDON, Feb. 13.—The Rev. C. F. Andrews, speaking at the Convention of Students' Christian Association at Liverpool, protested against the South African Color Bar Act as "an outrage against humanity, going back to the old slave morality."

A most successful Garvey Day program was arranged by the Garvey Chiki Columbus Ohio on Sunday, February 8. The members and officers wore their colors, the Red, Black and Green which left a touch of brilliance to the occasion. At 8:30 p.m. the president, Mr. G. R. Christian, called the meeting to order. The opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountaineer," was heartily sung. Prayers were read from the ritual, after which "God Bless America" was much gusto. If this opening remarks the president referred to the great struggle that the diver is forced to fight economically all over the world, and also the great awakening in South Africa among the masses. The speaker also showed how the program of the U. N. I. A. will help to, change our conditions among the group if we will only support the divers in the front page of The Negro World by the treasurer, Mr. Sydney Gumm, which was well received. One of our visitors was Rev. Cunningham, an old member of the organization who was paying his first visit to the Garvey Club. The president introduced the visitor and asked him to say a few words. Mr. Cunningham delivered a soul-stirring address on the program of the organization and the greatness and power of Marcus Cunningham, the first example of many quarters of an hour, and received quite an ovation when he cased. We hope Mr. Cunningham will come again and help to make the great work a success. The next speaker was Mrs. Luis Crowell. She warmed up in her usual style, and made quits a nice little speech which was enjoyed by all. The next speaker was Mr. William Washington. Mr. Washington can always keep the interest of those who listen to him. The next item was a lovely song by Mrs. Rosetta Bell, which was joined in at the chorus by the audience. Mrs. Bell is surely an earnest member of the Carvey Club and we are all happy to have her at all times in our midst. Mr. Ross Crowell gave us a song, after which he delivered a splendid address; he encouraged the members to keep the faith, because it will not be long before we are able to work of the Hon. Marcus Carvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The next speaker was also S. F. Gumm. He spoke on the economic plight of the Negro. As a master mechanic in his trade of plasterer, he saw how black men are kept out of nearly all the jobs that are going on in the city, and he said the words of Marvin Garvey are coming true when America will not be able to take care of the blacks when white men are around to fill their places. The labor problem of Columbus at this time is very tight for the black man. For three months many of our able-bodied—men—have been walking the streets, to find a job and cannot get any. Mrs. Sheda Bohanan, a stitter, became a member of the Garvey Club, and she and her husband were planning to visit the convention in New York. Several of our members were reported on the sick list: Sister Anna Halvette and Sister Mollie Johnson and Brother Oliver Williams. The Garvey Club wishes them a speedy recovery. After the offering was taken and notices given out a real Garvey Day was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian Anthem. G. R. CHRISTIAN, Reporter.

Williams, pianist of the Indianapolis Division. An interesting talk was given by Mrs. But Culz, lady president of the Indianapolis Division. When the appeal for members was made, several names were added to the roll. The chair rendered many delightful collections. ADOLPH ARKAL, Reporter. FOR THE NEGRO WORLD All divisions and chapters, officers and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are hereby informed that, pending an adjustment of the financial affairs of the Association, those charged with the responsibility of placing The Negro World on the newsstands throughout the world are finding it impossible to meet the weekly obligations of the paper along with other obligations. Divisions of the Association in America are, therefore, urgently requested to solicit donations for The Negro World and forward same to New York Headquarters, 355 Lenox. Avenue, immediately so as to insure release of The Negro World from the printers as soon as it is printed. It is to be sincerely hoped that no division or chapter will fail to respond to this appeal in the emergency which has arisen. Assistant International Organizer, Universal Negro Improvement Association. New York Headquarters, 355 Lenox Ave. HAITI EXPLOITED AND OPPRESSED (Continued from page 2) remains closed after an existence of thirty years. Society in Mourning Haitiulf society is in mourning, and this mourning has descended to the lowest stratum of the population, the peasants; for even here the old African tambourine dances, accompanied by those musically weird, enchanting, crooning spiritual outgivings of a primitive people, are abolished by American-made laws. When the English wiped out the quiet little French colony of Arcadia they did it more mercifully, because they did it more brusquely. In Haiti the dying tortures are slowly and methodically applied. Yet there are retaliations a Washingtonian who issued the unintentional intent of the American occupation is to secure the confidence of the Haitian people. I know that that was the hope of ex-Secretary of State Hughes, and the late Senator McCormick, but the brigadier in Haitioff at civilian counsel. The economic side of this picture is darker than L. Le. Tempis, a daily at Port-nau-Prince, published on December 10, 1928, the seventh of a series of articles reviewing the economic condition of the Haitian people. We translate the following comment: "Misery in the foliated arms of the merchant before his empty money chest! Misery of the discouraged bourgeoisie, of the hopeless small employee! Misery in the glazed eyes of the scantily-clad girls of the proletariat in the evenings on the street corners of the squall outside of the city! Misery of the clite, and of the masses! Misery of a whole people!" Editor Now in Jail The editor who wrote this article is now in jail for violation of the law against the press. He is the twenty-seventh newspaperman to be thrown into prison during my residence at Port-au-Prince. But this is a sidelight from the story. After a carefully studied exposition of the situation, this writer sets forth the following causes for the prevailing economic atrophy (translation): 1. The stationary state of production in relation to the increasing population. 2. Exorbitant duties. 3. Investment of the national funds abroad. 4. Our budget is devoured by the fair salaried American employee, and construction of all kinds is out of proportion to cost. 5. Famine salaries of the public employees. 6. Fixing of the gourde (the national money) at the ratio of five to one dollar. 7. The unskillful application of the tax upon alcohol and tobacco. 5. The systematic boycoting of Haithans from employments of all kinds; whence the large number of unemployed. 9. Too great consumption of luxuries. 10. Growth of Haitian money by foreign commercial enterprise. 11. The desertion of the plantations by the peasants. Imports Cegne The exorbitant duties inserted in the last custom law is one of the chief causes of this business stagnation. Dr. Cumberland, the American Financial Adviser, General Receiver of Hafil for nearly two years, resigned and the State Department sent him to Nicaragua. After some solicitation, Dr. A. C. Millspaugh, of Michigan, was persuaded to accept the office, Dr. Millspaugh had just returned from his brilliant mission in rehabilitating the finances of Peru. Both the European and American press paid tribute to his great accomplishment. He was at the pinnacle of his career. He was not in Matti long before he clasped With Gen. Randall, the High Commissioner, and his private Gen. Branje, Chief of the gendersmen. He was briefly told that, although he was Financial Advisor, he had no control of the gendarmes' funds. of the gendarme funds. The Department of Public Works had spent millions of dollars of Haitian money without an accounting to the Haitian people. In fact, when the Americans came in, in 1915 they immediately abolished the Haitian Chamber of Accounts' and promised to give to the Haitians a more modern and efficient system of accounting. For thirteen years that promise has never been fulfilled. Dr. Millipaugh requested the State Department to send expert-accountants to Haiti. The fight between the Financial Adviser and the treaty officials had now reached an acute stage. Then word came to Haiti that the Department of State had decided to send accountants to Haiti. Accounts Burned Then a most singular thing happened: Fire broke out in the recently constructed Ministerial Building and destroyed the accounts and vouchers pertaining to millions of dollars, of works in the Department of Public Works. In the latter part of December Dr. Millspaugh clashed with President Borno over the matter of resulting $100 to Mr. Fombron, Haitian, Minister to London. Or the rent of a home. This was not the first clash that the doctor had had with President Doro. He at one time admonished the President not to make a similar expenditure again and then seek for reimbursement, finally, on Jan. 2, 1909, when State requested Dr. Millspaugh to resign. Although neither Dr. Millspaugh nor officials of the State Department will comment on the resignation, what has occurred is fairly clear to all. In the meantime the political pot was boiling in Haiti. Not that it had ever caused to boil, but eventful things were coming to pass. Mr. Borno had, in some kind of a fashion, been twice "elected" President of Haiti. He wanted a Good Turn, but the State Department thought "that would be, "undemocratic," so Mr. Borno, fast May, sent a message to the Council of State, by which it was decided that he had "been treated." He stated that when in 1920 his government finished its mandate, its successor, etc., the use of the propoun "its" did not escape the observation of some of the lawyers at Port-au-Prince. What could Washington do if Bornado had himself re-elected by a Legislature chosen apparently in a legal manner? To make assurance doubtly sure the President has had passed two laws uniquely designed to the consummation of his plans. One is the law against meetings and gatherings. Opposing candidates cannot hire a hall and make a public campaign, and protesting editors are forbidden to criticize candidates of the government. This is what is passing in Hatti, supported by martial law and the bayonets of American marines. 6-Month Term for Marrying Pastor, 54, to Girl, 11 MARION, III. Feb. 11 (CNS)—Despite his plan that he was acting under divine inspiration when he married Selinda Clendonnin, 11, to the Rev. Joseph Benton, 54-year-old blind Feste-coastal pastor, Edward Hayza today was sentenced to six months on the State penal farm and fined $100 for violating the Illinois marriage laws. Benton is tried on a charge of bigamy. His marriage to the 11-year-old toto-who had been led to believe the ceremony would sanctify her—has been annulled. Wyoming Senate Votes Ban on Women Jews CREYENNE F. 9—The Wyoming Senate today defended a measure allowing women to serve on juries. In debate it said pointed out that The Chapula Division held a series and successful mass meeting on Sunday, January 6. Mr. Harpold E. B. Wright was the honored guest of the division. Mr. Wright came to us from Boca del Forte. The meeting opened with Mr. Anthony Drummond, his vice president of the division, presiding. Mr. Wright assisted the chairman in the religious service. The opening address was delivered by Mr. Michael J. Richardson. The front page of The Chapula Division was given to Riolesk, Short, interesting talks were given by Messrs. Thomas Maxwell, Walter Holt and Samule Gayler, president of the division. The principal address was delivered by Mr. Mighty. He was given an ovation at the end of his inspiring talk. The choir rendered several beautiful selections. After announcements and the taking of the offering, the meeting closed in the usual manner. On January 21 a special meeting was called to order by the Sigurre Division at 7:30 p. m. Its object was to hold the annual election of officers. Mr. A. Stewart, president; Mr. S. Cornife, teacher of the day school, and Mr. C. James, secretary, were on the platform. In opening, the president read the aims and objects of the organization. Mr. S. Cornife was the next speaker. Mr. F. Jerrett was called upon to address the school to the president's address, also the previous speaker, he felt encouraged to work, for unity, is strength. Mr. S. Hart was the next speaker. He said the U. N. I. A. must succeed, for it is a righteous cause and by God's help and our leader; by members standing behind him, we shall with Mr. Hart's talk was full of inspiration. Mrs. L. Wrickett, Mr. Norman Bond, Mr. D. Barnett, and Mr. S. G. Brown also spoke. CHARLES JAMES, Reporter. Although the embryonic labor movement of India is comparatively weak on the industrial field, despite frequent reports of strikes and violent blashes clashes between workers and the police, its leaders are planning to exercise what influence they can upon the shift expected to be worked out for the division of the British Commonwealth in the not too distant future. This was clearly brought out at the ninth convention of the All-Indian Trade Union Congress, held in Jherson in December. In his principal speech President Dand, the new executive, as quoted in a report sent out by the Amsterdam Bureau of the International Federation of Trade Unions, contain demands which he held essential for the development of labor unionism in India. These demands included universal suffrage for the men and women in industry and agriculture, an adequate number of seats for labor in the central and provincial legislatures for the protection of labor from the privileged classes, the establishment of ministers in the central and provincial government, the direct taxation, and free compulsory primary education. These principles, President Daud went on to explain, must be incorporated unconditionally into whatever form of dominion, status was finally adopted, if such status was to be accepted by the labor organizations; But whatever kind of a constitution might be adopted, labor must have the following rights: the social labor constituencies for agricultural labor (a sufficient number for adequate representation) and; special labor constituencies for industrial labor (equal numbers of seats for employers and workers, both in the central and provincial legislatures), representation in the legislature should be by election and not by nomination; the All-India Trade Union. Congress should be the electorate for the Indian legislatures and the provincial committees of the All-India Trade Union Congress should be the electorate for the provincial legislatures. In the absence of provincial committees the registered labor organizations of the province should be the electorate. After setting forth this program, the president made the following declaration: "Having considered the far-reaching effect of these innovations on the constitution to be launched on the country in the near future, I believe I carry with me your whole-hearted support in asserting that until these safeguards are substantially conceded labor will not co-operate with any political party which is responsible for a constitution for the future administration of the country." Wyoming, pioneer Woman Suffrage State, had experimented with such a law fifty-eight years ago. Senator D. A. Pratton declared it worked a hardship on husbands and fathers who were summoned home to serve for habeas and do the housework. He quoted a popular refrain of that day: "Baby, oh baby, don't get in a fury. Your mama's been called to serve on the jury." On December 18, in spite of very bad weather, the Newcastle Division held a fine-meeting. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Mr. Nathan MacFarlane, president of the division, and opened with the sliding of the opening ode. The front page of the Nergy World was read by Mr. Charles Gordon, an ex-office of the division. Miss Frances Burton rendered a beautiful solo. Addresses were delivered by Mr. Alexander Gordon, third vice-president of the division. Mr. David Harris of Madre d. Dios Division, and Mr. Ephriam Johnson. Miss Elizabeth Mohris also rendered a solo which received much applause, the meeting being adjourned by AGENON SMITH Brouwer. SANDINO STILL ACTIVE SANDINO STILL ACTIVE (Continued from page 2) the Monaco government, and form a new autonomist government and exile all American elements." Sandino believes the only way to free Nicaragua from foreign influence in public affairs is to change the Monaco government's strength, maintained by American institutions, and firmly compromising Nicaraguan autonomy. "All this indicates that important events are about to take place in Nicaragua." MANAGUA, Feb. 10.—A statement that all the Sandino bands had left Nicaragua territory and that peace was established throughout Nicaragua was "permature, according to United States Marine headquarters here." It is true that Augustino Sandino himself has become "most a negligible factor in the situation, but without the activity of the marines and the Guardia Nacional patrols in the northern area, the belief is expressed that organized banditry would again develop into a real menace. Numbers of followers of Sandiní have crossed the border into Honduras at various times and Sandiní himself probably has entered Honduran territory occasionally, because it is not difficult for those familiar with the trips to pass from one country to the other. A small band of outlaws called the canagua has also entered Honduras in Sandiní, who is known to have only a few men in his bodyguard who remain constantly with him. Small roving bands of outlaws, which made occurring raids, murdering natives, have no central organization, but consist chiefly of unimportant leaders. There are indications that Sandiní's support is crumbling, some expressing the belief that he may surrender. The disposition of Manuel Jiron, perhaps Sandiní's chief leader, who was captured last week, has not been decided upon. To may be brought to the attention of the toastant Hanneken's patrol do not prove valuable, or he may be turned over to the Galápagos authorities. A roving, band of outlaws has killed four natives, and wounded two others near Sun Japu de Tehaneanca, in the Department of Nueva Segovia, presumably for the purpose of robbery. A marine patrol was sent to the scene. The first detachment of ship marines brought hero 18, connection with the November election returned to Corinth today to reinforce the cruiser Rochester Admiral David F. Sollers, commander of the special service squadron, departed for Corinth and probably will sail for Panama tomorrow.

A BABY FOR YOU A BABY FOR YOU Are you denied the blessing of motherhood—the glory of a baby all your own? Do you and your husband yearn for a baby's arms and a baby's name? Nature does not have a baby. When she is born, it is usually due to some weakness or disorder of the organs of reproduction. When these organs are properly toned up, invigorated and helped to function properly, the blessings of motherhood may be more apparent. Many women are now praising a remarkable new treatment called Gen Tone and expressing their gratitude for what it has done to them. That is why it is important that it helped to forgive many of the ailments common to women, such as bearing down and periodical pain, etc., and also them to lead a chaparrier and more companionate life. You test this new treatment, simply send name to Hamilton Products Co. 114 American Bank Bldg, Kansas City, Mo., and when your treatment arrives pay postman $3.50 plus few cents postage.

The meeting opened in the usual manner with the singing of the opening ode, Professor Chase presides at the plane. The religious service was conducted by Chapelia Pennik. After the opening remarks by the president, Mr. R. R. Walker, the fruit page of the Negro World was read by Mrs. Reeves, acting Kid president. After an interesting number by the juvenile, a short talk given by Mrs. Reeves also gave an inspiring talk. The principal speaker was Dr. Lewis who is a firm believer in the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association: JOHN REED, Reporter. Prehistoric Giant's Stand Against Buffalo Is Found in Africa JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Feb. 5. Harking back into primordial existence on the Dark Continent, read makers working in a quarry at Springbok Flats, north of Pretoria, unearthied evidence of a mighty battle in the dim past between an extinct species of giant buffalo and a powerful, giant-like primitive man. Indications from the shattered bones of man and beast which were rigidly close together in the past had been trapped to death by the buffalo in some remote age. The bones, all naturally fossilized, have been sent to the Transvaal Museum, where S. Wierstra, director of the museum, after examining them, declared the discovery to be the most important yet made in South Africa regarding primitive man, seeing that the human remains undoubtedly anteceded the famous Bokop skull. DE Robert Brown, an expert on the Bokop man, on the union that the South African man on the bone has been found in heavier types of the Gee-Meson race, but finds nothing Neanderthaloid in the frontal part of the skull to identify him with primitive Rhodesian man. Most of the man's skull, a majority of the longer bones and parts of the hands have been recovered. The buffalo's remains also indicate that he died a swift and violent death, probably due to injuries inflicted on him by the man's large hand. The director believes that the hunter and the hunted died almost simultaneously. The man is officially described as "a powerful, large-sized man, not closely related to any of the necrotal races." The size of the buffalo, as estimated by measuring between the tips of the horns, must have exceeded that of the largest known American species.

Desde hae algun tiempo surgimos a la vida coma una organización, millares de individuos asociados con nosotros, como oficiales, y otros miembros de la organización, han sostenido una noción peculiar cu lo que toca a sus responsabilidad con el organismo y la gran causa que nosotros representanos. Yo estoy tratando el hacer la situación ahora tan clara de manera que no haya errores acerca de nuestra responsabilidad y relación.

Desde que fui encarcelado, una gram parte de las divisiones de la organización por mediación de algunos de sus oficiales pocos occupuplos, tomaron sobre sus hombros la responsabilidad de retener la ayuda que hubiese sido su deber el enviar al Guartel General, tratando de impresionar a sus miembros locales de que han estado cumpliendo con su deber en el organismo central de la asociación. Ha llegado pues la hora de exponer publicamente tal duplicidad y al mismo tiempo dar el alerta a todos los miembros de cada division para que vean, si todos los sumitos de su local estan en buenas condiciones y especialmente si su estado financial esta suficientemente certificado con el Guerpo Directivo Central, o no lo esta. Nosotros no des苍os tener a nuestros miembros en la creencia de que ellos han estado en buenas relaciones financieras con estas oficinas, si en rendida no lo estan por el hecho de que sus respectivas divisions-locales le hayan hecho ercre que sus informes regulares a las oficinas centrales se hayan hecho a tiempo. No hay pues division por grande o pequeña que esta sea, para que sea eximida del envío de sus informes regulares al centro de la organización, así pues que todo miembro debera infisitir en ver que esto se haga seriamente y siguiente esta práctica pueda la oficina central asumir la responsabilidad que le corresponda.

B. W. I. GERMAN SECRET e a Man Out of My Husband Information Free to All THE "GERMAN PREPARATION" MORE PER, STRONGER VITALITY Parotitis Epidemica Esta es una enfermedad aguda que se ha iniciado con marcada mendición en esta parte de Harlem y es muy prevalente en estos meses del año. Es conocida, vulgarmente por "papaera" o "fatfallota" y afecta principalmente las glándulas paroidadas a cada lado de la cara, causando un gran malestar durante la mastication y alguna fiebre. Se supone que esta enfermedad es trasmisible. de Persoa a persona y que lo mismo afecta a adultos que a menores de edad. En los adultos suelen ocurrir complicaciones que incapacitar a los individuos para el trabajo por una semana o dos, a veces por una tiempo y atrofa de los organos orquíticos, con esterilidad completa o parcial. Los individuos sanos deberan abstenerse de visitar o estar encontacto con los que padece de "papera" porque aparte del peligro de una arufa orquífica, que puede causar perididas materiales a los que la sufren. Se han observado casos de seis semanas de enfermedad. El tratamiento consiste en reposo absoluto en cama durante el periodo de fiebre, hasta la desfesescencia que sule tomar cuatro días. Si la fiebre es alta y hay compliaciones, se debera llamar al médico immediatamente. El resto del tratamiento consiste en laxantes sainos y dieta liquida. Está enfermedada aguda está comenzando a hacer su aparición por la cuidad y se manifesta con rubicundez el hinecazón de los párbados y conjuntiva, fluxión nasal, fiebre y una crucepion disgreta que conienza la cura y se extiende por el torso, brazos y piernas, acompanada de delor generalizado especialmente en las cadera y piernas. La crucepion cs-col fresa, no tan moteana ni tan oscura como la del sarampion verdadero. Luego de hacer su aparición la crucepion, los sintomas rápidamente desaparecen. Esta enfermedad, de por si, no es grave ni causa mayores molestias a los niños entre los cuales es muy prevalente. La importancia de ella es su simiaridad con la escarlatina, que también se manifesta con más alta fiebre, mayor postracilación, y la erupción es muy brillante en color y más generalizada. Aurn la lengua de los enfermos presenta el vivo color fresa o escarlatina. Cuadro este en duda llame a su médico. El Satrampión Alemien o Rothelin no necesita más cuidado que los que puede prodigir una buena madre a su hijo, pero la escarlatina es muy infecciosa y muy virulenta y la mortalidad es pavorosa. Tambien hay otra enfermedad que suela ser equivocada por Rubinea o Sarampión Aleman y que aún cuando no tan inocente, sule ser tratada con algún deseudo. Es el verdadero, sarampión de manchas notadesas por todo el cuerpo, alta fiebre y serias complicaciones en el aparato respiratorio especialmente en nífos, y entre estos los que están en la edad de dos años o menos. El verdadero sarampión es bien conocido por todos, pero he observado la mala práctica de algunas madres que exponenta a coger la infección a los otros nífos que no la han adquirido todavía. Hay la creencia que todo niño debera pasar por todas las enfermedades de la niña para asirilar de eso como dicen las viejas muestras. Esto es una equivocación porque aparte de la alta mortalidad one causa (en Inglaterra murieron 12-618 nífos en el 1909) esta la una enfermedad en nífos que más prediseña a la tuberculosis pulmona más tardue durante el curso de la afanosa vida. Algumite años aflores el finado en expresidente Roosevelt concibi la idea de introduce un lenguaje que facilita tara que comunica con personas entre todas las melaciones, es decir, quiera un lenguaje universal para fines académicos y concercales; pero la introducción de este lenguaje universal no hubiera infuido hacia la suspENSION del idioma español pues, tal empresa moderna hubiera sido, cuando más dudosa. Los latinos (me refiero a los de habla española) habla brilant de tal innovación y sin examinar detendamente la idea han empezado no a introducir sino a destruir dos lenguajes al mismo tiempo, todo lo cual lo hacen con el objeto de dar la idea a sus oyentes de que son el gran "YO" en el idioma inglés, y estan a sangre fria matando el romanticismo, la dulzura, la fragancia, la belleza y delicadazza, del idioma español, el idioma de Dios, de las flores, del amor, de la musica y deela poesia. En su loque propósito han introducido un lenguaje compresible a elos solamente siendo la idea absurda, ridicula e insipida cuando menos. A continuación indice algunas de las frases del mencionado lenguaje—sí que así se le pude llamar. "Me voy a coger a coger en el roof." Antes de yo mapear el hall voy a cuitar el job." "Mi boso siempre esta kickando". Estas e innumerables frances oyen a diapio que cono,toidos sain- nos no es espaiol y mucho menos ingles. Las sociétades culturales debian emprender una campaia para conservar toda la esencia. el valor y la belleza del idioma espaiol - El Frances, el Aleman, el Italiano, etc., e viene a este país e imedi- mentamente empieza a estudiar el idioma ingles lo cual hacen, primero, con conocer el idioma, segundo y más importante, por conveniencia, en una palabra por necesidad; pero cuando se encuentran entre los su- sos hablan su propio idioma, el americano hace igual cuando va a un país extranjero en leiuqn. Hay en este país mucho que aprender, copiar y practicar, por ejemplo, el sistema industrial, civilco, comercial y económico; la puertailidad y ya que, que nombrado "Puntualidad" diré sin tempos a que se me contradiga de que cuandose muestras sociedades convocan una sesión para empezar a las ocho de la noche el que llega a las dues ha llegado tempranor, el americano cita para las ocho y a esta hora empieza. Cuando se llama a un médico americano y este promete llegar al hogar en el termino de una hora, dilega a la hora senalada; se llama a uno de nuestros doctors y tiene suerte el paciente: si llega al hogar dentro de cuatro o cinesos horas; con el doctor americano es asunto de quien llamo primero, con el doctor latino (español) se trata de "quien" hizo la llamada. En verdad que, para alcantar estos fines, no es necesario cambiar un lenguaje con todo su romanticismo poético y sentimental por un lenguaje frio y comercial. Hay que estudiar y aprender bien el idioma inglés, es una necesidad, y en el phonetríquico es un deber, pero cada vez que seenga la oportunidad de algunas horas libres estas se deben emplear en conservar la dulzura del idioma de nuestros antecesores.

The only hope for the Negro, if he must pay his, is in fellow the Honou- re Mason Garvey and join the Uni- tional Negro Improvement Association. It is the duty of every Negro that has travelled in the different parts of the world to emphasise to every member of the race that if we must survive we must follow the Honorable Marcus Garvey and demand a government in Africa. It is a known fact that where over the black man goes he is abused, and it is because we have no政 府ment to protect us. We have preached and prayed long enough and have gained nothing. So I am beseaching Negroes to fall in line with us and make our coming convention the greatest in history. As I have said before, preaching and praying will not stop the wrongs that are imposed on us as a people. For 19 years I have watched the injection of a people. For three years I worked in Brazil on the railways under white Americans. We carried on the work while our white brothers lolled under the palm trees. We did the work and the other fellow got the praise. So I want, therefore to state that if the black man is capable of building these great railways for some one else, he can do them for himself. The Negro masses from the West Indies built the great Banana Canal and today the Negro is used from Panama, after making it fit for the other fellow to live there. This and many other things should make the Negroes of this world stop and think. H.R. PHILLIPS. Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Feb. 6, 1923. To the Editor of The Negro World: If everybody were fair and square, this would be a most glorious world to live in. If everybody was fair and square there would be, no more war. All nations would treat one another as they themselves would be treated. All nations would pick up lands and countries that they have no right to possess. The stronger race plots against the weaker race to keep it crushed. The African people, which other nations did buy and sell, have been scattered all over the world among their enemies that they may be kept crushed down forever. They were scattered as sheep, having no shepherd. But they are coming, together again. They are stretching forth their hands to attack them, to suffer them to be scattered any more. The black race is rising and the white race nor any other race can keep it down any longer. The Ethiopian is stretching forth his hands unto God, and nothing on earth, nor in heaven, can any more keep us down. God is on our side, and it is foolishness to fight against God.

We all should remember that there is nothing impossible with God. Through them we are entitled to all parts of the world. God is fairly bringing them together in successes of mind through his servant, our most Honorable Mr. Marcus Garvey. You should be fair and square with him by following his leadership, and the program will surely be put over. Be fair and square by giving him the honor that is due him. You should not only be fair and square with others, but also with yourself and with God. So many people pray for things and make no effort to get them. Why not be fair and square as you can with God, and put forth your best efforts to get what you need through faith in God. Praying alone for justice won't get justice, and praying alone for a government won't get you a government. It makes no difference how much faith you have in God—if you will get justice, you will never have a government. But you must put forth some effort. Apostle Paul says, "Faith without work is dead." Man, be fair and square unto yourself and alsounto God by making your very best effort to prepare to receive the thing, you ask of God through faith. Remember, "Failure without work is dead." I have heard people say, "When God gets ready, for the black people to have a government, he will get it." But I say, "God is already for the black government, but they must put forth some effort to get it. If there ever was a race that needs a government of their own, it is the black race, and God wants them to have it. BENNIE M. BEMBER Tuckermann, Ark.

Desperately, the British masters of India are trying to put down the militar war, quot; according to the latest it is all ill-fitting. The warlegs in the great Indian Ocean seasport and natives are seeing the city. But what is it all about? Daily for over a week the cables have been telling us of the outbreak. Why, all th- shooting? The Hindus, of course, everybody knows. Of India's 800,000,000 inhabitants, about 220,000,000 belong to the Hindu faith, one of the most ancient of all religions being founded on the Vedas, or collection of scriptures by different ages of different eras. Once Native Worship Formerly Hinduism was almost pure nature worship, not for the sake of nature itself, but because nature is a manifestation of the Divine. Hindus worshipped the dawn, fire, water, etc., because there was something divine in them. For several hundred years, however, Hinduism has run down, or gone to seed. The ignorant masses have allowed all sorts of abuses to creep into their faith, and the wildest superstitions have become part of it. The Pathans are a tribe of Afghans, at home in the wild northeastern country along the Afghanistan, Indian border. There are perhaps a million of them. Some say the Afghans are descended from the soldiers of Alexander the Great. Others that their ancestors were slaves sent into the mountains by King Nebuchadnezzar, of Biblical fame, were descended from none other than Afghanistan, grandson of King Souh, or that they are the lineal descendants of LISTEN Those of You in the BUSINESS WORLD If You Want to PROGRESS You Should ADVERTISE To Advertise Is to UTILIZE To Utilize Is to MATERIALIZE To Materialize Is to be PATRONIZED In Order to be Patronized You Have to To Fraternize, You Must be POPULARIZED To be Popularized You Have to Be Present to the Only Means You Need ADVERTISE The NEGRO.

It is said that travellers once stopped horses and went wading to doctor sick. Palaeozoic worms to doctor then entered, a small boy perhaps years of age. Giving the strangers a quick glance, he calmly reached for a sort of squirrel rife hanging from a peg in the wall. "Mother," the lad asked in all seriousness, "shall I kill these people for you?" With pride in her eyes for her baby sharpshooter, the mother explained that her son was the last surviving male of the line and upon him, by the law of his clap, lay the duty of killing off the enemy. During the World War Pathan men joined up with the British in India to be sent to the battlefields of France.
