The Negro World

The Sixth Convention Every Negro Community should do its bit toward making this gathering an outstanding success. New leaders will be chosen; the old type of leadership will be discarded. Fellowmen of the Negro Race, Greeting: We are drawing nearer to our Convention period, when we are to discuss solemnly and pointedly the many problems confronting us, with the ways and means of solving them. The eyes of the whole world will be turned toward this, the Sixth Convention of the Negro peoples of the world, to be held at Kingston, Jamaica, from the 1st to the 31st of August. The Convention is to be held not because it is customary to gather together annually, but because the hour has come for uniformity of thought and action as the only source or method through which our race can be salvaged, protected and perpetuated. It is expected that every Negro community in the world will send delegates to the Convention. There is no reason why every branch of the Negro race should not be represented. We, who are working at headquarters to make the convening of the Convention a success, have every hope that it will be so. Nothing to Be Lost The delegates to the Convention from countries like the United States of America, Africa, Europe, Central and South America and the Islands of the West Indies will find that no time nor money will be wasted in attending the forthcoming Convention because it will have its social, economic, political and general values to each and every community that sends a delegate. Only Honest Leaders Wanted It can be said that with all that has been said and done to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, no one will entertain the slightest belief that the Negro peoples of the world can be outdone in their determination to go forward under the leadership of the organization in making themselves felt as an entity in the Body Politic. The Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot be crushed because its objects embody the principles and spirit of a great race that cannot die. All that is needed now is intelligent and honest leadership, and this we hope to get out of the Convention. We declare to one and all that the old type of leadership is dead; we shall not resurrect, we shall not give it life. We mean the leadership that has been grafty, selfish, vicious, disloyal, double-crossing and, in all, ignorant. That leadership that has robbed the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall find no place in the forthcoming Convention. Whether the person be high or low, if he cannot come to the Convention with a clean record, there will be no place for him. Success Assured The things we have suffered in the past were but lessons to us on the way to better service to the people and to the organization. Some of our past leaders who thought they were smart in robbing and exploiting the organization were only burying themselves forever in every kind of service to the race or to the organization. We have watched them long and carefully and we are now able by the experience of the past to so direct affairs as to make a repetition almost remote. The Universal Negro Improvement Association in principle and spirit can never die; it shall live forever. Men who have joined the ranks of the organization, either as officials or members but to steal from and fool the people have made a mistake in thinking that they would never be found out and stopped in their game. We have found them out, we have stopped them. Let me encourage, therefore, the Negroes of America, of South and Central America, the West Indies and Africa to take new courage, because we are going to write a new chapter through this, our forthcoming Convention, in the history of our race. It shall be a chapter recording new progress, new hope, new inspiration, new prosperity. Let us, therefore, not fail to give all the support that is necessary to make the Convention of 1929 the biggest on record. Only Financial Divisions Shall Have Voice I desire to remind all branches, divisions, chapters and members of the organization that the payment of the assessment tax of each member must be observed. Everyone must become financial to enjoy the privileges that we hope to create out of our new movement. Divisions are again advised that no delegate from an unfinancial division shall be seated to take part in the discussions of the organization; therefore, to receive proper recognition the division must see that it is financial, at least six months before the Convention, with the Parent Body. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Mareen Saney Power of the Kabaka of Buganda Kingdom in Uganda Has Been Usurped by British Commissioner and Spirit and Letter of 1900 Agreement Has Been Violated—The People Unduly Taxed and Education Withheld from the Masses The Negro World has received from Mr. Ladipo Solanke, the scholarly secretary of the West African Students' Union of Great Britain, a "Memorandum of the Constitution of the Buganda Kingdom and the Grievances of Its People," which was sent to him by the secretary to the Native Parliament of the Buganda Kingdom. This memorandum, copies of which have been sent to the British members of Parliament and which has been given wide publicity in the British Press was prepared, we are informed, with the sole idea of giving a brief and impartial survey of the present policy of the Protectorate Government of Uganda, in the Buganda Kingdom. The grievances therein summarized have already formed the subject of a petition signed throughout the Buganda Kingdom and forwarded to the British Secretary of State for the Colonies. The text of the memorandum is as follows: MEMORANDUM OF THE CONSTITUTE OF UGANDA KINGDOM AND THE REP: RESENTATIVES OF ITS PEOPLE For the purpose of administration of the Uganda Protectorate is divided into four divisions, the Eastern Province, the Northern Province, the Western Province, and the Buganda Kingdom. It is with the latter kingdom that this memorandum is mainly concerned. The present constitution of the native government of the Buganda Kingdom is provided by the Uganda agreement of 1900, signed on behalf of Her Majesty Queen Victoria and His Highness the Rabaka (or King) of Uganda. By the terms of this agreement the powers of the Protectorate Government on the one hand and the Native Government on the other are clearly defined. In accordance with clause 6, the Kabaka was to exercise direct rule over the natives of Uganda, to whom he was to administer justice through the Bukiko or Native Parliament and through others of his officers in the manner approved by Her Majesty's Government." For the purpose of administration, the Kingdom of Uganda was divided into twenty administrative counties, at the head of which was placed a chief selected by the Kabaka and approved by the Protectorate Government. To the chief-of-each county was entrusted the task of administering justice amongst the natives, the assessment and collection of taxes, the upkeep of roads and the general supervision of native affairs in the county. To assist the Kabala in the government of his people he was empowered to appoint three active ministers of state (whose names had to be submitted and approved by the Protectorate Government), viz., a Prime Minister (called in the Laguna language "Katlithe", which means "Deputy"); a Chief Justice and a Treasurer, or Controller of Native Finances. On all questions, except the assessment, and collection of taxes, the chiefs of the twenty counties are to report to the three native ministers of state, from whom they were to receive their instructions. Constitution and Functions of the Native Parliament In addition to the three ministers of state and the twenty county chiefs already mentioned, the Kabaka could appoint three minor chiefs from each of the twenty counties and six other persons important by the county to be members of the Native Parliament. The Native Parliament is therefore composed of eighty-nine members selected and approved as follows: Three ministers of state—ex officio senior members appointed by the Kabaka and approved by the Projectorate Government). Twenty County of Suga chiefs (ex officio members appointed by the Kabaka) and approved by the Projectorate Government). Six notables (selected and approved by the Kabaka alone). Sixty minor chiefs (these selected from each county appointed and approved by the Kabaka alone). From the foregoing if will be seen that the 88 members of the Projectorate Government's approval and san Straight Hair Straight as a String Today—Now tion is only required in the cases of 13 members. I. to the three Ministers of State and the twenty county chiefs. It is, however, provided by Clause 11 of the Agreement of 1300 that the Kabaka could at any time deprive any individual of the right to all of its powers, but in such an event the, Protectorate Government's approval was to be obtained before dismissal. The functions, both executive and Judiciary, of the Native Parliament are defined in Claus 11 of the Agreement of 1900. It is empowered to discuss all matters concerning the native administration and to forward to the Kabaka resolutions which may be voted by a majority regarding measures to be adopted. The Kabaka is, however, to consult and follow the advice of the Protectorate Government before giving effect to any resolutions voted by the Parliament. The Judicial Committee of the Native Parliament (Lukiko Court, as it is commonly called) is to act as a Court of Appeal and the courts held by the property or exceeding the value of 45 or imprisonment exceeding one week an appeal could be referred to the Lukiko Court. The latter court was not, however, permitted to decide any questions affecting persons or property of Europeans or other nominees of Uganda, such cases being referred to the British courts established by the Protectorate Government. Taxation The Agreement of 1900 stipulates for the imposition of a hut tax and a gun tax, but the former tax has been since converted into a poll tax. Peasant cultivators of the soil now pay 15 shillings per annum poll tax to the Projectate Government for imperial purposes and 10 shillings per annum (called Luwale) to the Native Government for the upkeep of public buildings and 10 shillings per annum (called the poll tax) is by an Agreement of 1920 returned to the Native Government for the payment of salaries to the three Ministers of State, the county and national chiefs, clerics, police, etc., but the amount so returned must not be greater than £15,800 nor less than £11,000. Apart from the customs regulations and other exterior taxation, the Agreement of 1900 entitles that no further interior taxation in to be imputed to the Native Government, Kababki, who, in this matter, is to be guided by a majority of the votes in the Native Parliament. The above particulars briefly summarize the main clauses laid down by the Uganda Agreement of 1900 for the Government of the Buganda Kingdom. It is clear from an examination of these clauses that it was the intention of the agreement to have the internal native administration almost entirely in the hands of the Kabaka and his parliament. For a number of years this policy had been observed by both parties to the agreement, but recently discontent has been caused by the Protectorate Government introducing "direct rule" without consulting the Kabaka or his parliament. Violations of Agreement of 1900 As it is the intention of this memorandum to show that the present Protectorate Administration is acting not only contrary to the terms of the 1900 Agreement but also antagonistic to the wishes and aspirations of the peasant in the soil, it may be convenient here to separate the practice of the present Protectorate Administration, which violates the Uganda Agreement of 1900. (a) THE APPOINTMENT, CONTROL AND DISMISSAL OF CHIEFS BY THE PROTECTORATE GOVERNMENT— As already stated the Chief of each county within the Buganda Kingdom in accordance with Charge 9. of the Arrement of 1800, to report direct to the Kabaka and his Minister, on all questions affecting the administration of his country except the collection and assessment of taxes, the welfare of his land Government. Since the Government have therefore a dual responsibility to the Protectorate Government to raise and the other Native Government on the HONOLULU, Feb. 22—L. A. Thurston, whose articles two years ago on conditions in Samoa attracted much attention and led to action in Congress providing for the appointment of a commission to formulate a new government for American Samoa, contributed an article to The Honolulu Advertiser today in which he says in part: "The House of Representatives has adopted the Senate resolution to appoint a commission on which there shall be two Samoan chiefs to formulate a government for Samoa. Samoans have awaited this news for nearly thirty years. "After recognizing Samoa as an independent nation and negotiating an negotiation treaty, the Senate simply pigeon-holed the treaty without action. The President, to forestall seizure by Britain or Germany, directed the Secretary of the Navy to take possession and govern Samoa as a naval station, a naval captain to be Governor. Ever since the Governor of Samoa has been an absolute monarch, making, changing and enforcing the law. The most efficient government is that of a benevolent depot. He consults no one but simply does what is necessary. Experience shows, however, that a depot will never indefinitely continue to be benevolent. The American Governor of Samoa has been normally just and benevolent. "Samoa's population has doubled under American rule. The navy has at its own expense paid salaries, for the principal executives of the Samoa government and furnished a steamer to carry on inter-island trade. Samoa is too poor itself to pay these expenses, but it will be no inquity for America to continue to pay them in consideration of its having, absorbed without cost Samoa's great asset, the finest harbor in the South Pacific, the harbor of Pago Pago. The Samoan took possession taxes were fixed at $1 per man annually and, wages, $11-dollars per man. Taxes have been increased to $3 per annum, but the wages fixed by the navy are still $1 per day. "Wages are $4.50 in Hawaii and $5.00 in the mainland navy yards. Samoans are entitled to representation, in their government. We whites have ignored their rights and feelings. We have simply handed them a government and demanded they respect, it, appointed their Governor and demanded they obey him. Senator Bingham should be made chairman of the Samoan Commission to complete what this resolution has so well begun." South African Government Seeks Aid of Germans BELLIN, Feb. 25.—Members of the German dyeffusht industry have been invited by the South African government to erect a plant for importing coal in South Africa. This invitation is the result of a report made by Dr. Lategan, who inspected a dyeffusht factory in Germany where thorough tests were made with South African coal. It is reported that South African capitalists will be interested in co-operating with the Germans. Due to Germany's interests in the same line in Australia and New Zealand, this new move is expected to slick up the English. New Turkish Dictionary Has Only 24,000 Words ANGORA, Turkey, Feb. 23—The new Turkish dictionary, compiled as a result of the change from the Arabic to the Latin alphabet and the Ghazza's wish to delete from the language most of the Persian and Arabic words long in use, reveals the number of Turkish words to be only 24,000. This is less than one-fourth the number in standard English dictionaries. Listen!

It was charged that Coburn was carried by his stop at Noxapater in a Jim Crow coach and was put off at Stallo and forced to walk back in bad weather resulting in his contracting pneumonia, which caused his death. It was the first civil case of consequence that a Nashoba County jury has decided in favor of a railroad.

JUDGE REFUSES TO EXTRADITE NEGRO TO ALABAMA FARM Man Wanted for Farm Debt of Variety That Keeps Mounting Year By Year, in Spite of Payments GARY, Ind, Feb. 22 — Efforts to have Reuben Cannon returned to the State of Alabama, and as he termed it "to shivry" and probable death," failed her Friday when Judge Greenwald refused to recognize the pleas of the Alabama officers and discharged the defendant. The case grew out of charges that Cannon had mortgaged a farm and equipment in Greene county, Alabama, which were already mortgaged. According to the testimony of the officers who came for him, when he decided to leave Alabama in 1926 he mortgaged his farm, which he operated as a sharecropper to a white man for $300 and it was discovered later that it was already mortgaged to the white man for whom he worked year in and year out, only to find that he was further in debt. Cannon told a story, which is only for those who are black and Negroes who have migrated north. He testified that each year when he sought an accounting, the "white folks" books shewed that I was deeper in debt. "Seeing no way out, he decided to leave and accordingly he attempted to sell his holdings which he valued at several thousand dollars. It was then that he learned that he had mortgaged his soul and body by signing the contract with the white man and to allay suspicion gave out the information that he had decided to remain in the South. Upon this information he was able to borrow $300 and with this money came here to work. Each month he sent back $20 to pay on the mortgage until he had paid back $25. A few months ago the white man, with whom he had worked, got a warrant for his arrest, and Wednesday officers arrived here to take him back to the farm. After two days of battling in the courts, friends of the defendant prevailed upon Judge William C. Hueston to take the case. At that time the division court had decided to turn Cannon over to the Alabama officers, but Judge Hueston occupied a habea corpus and carried the case before Judge Greenwald. After one of the most cloquent pleas heard in local courts by Judge Hueston, Cannon was discharged. YANCEYVILLE, N. C., Feb. 23, Mrs. Sallie W. Wiggins, member of a prominent North Carolina family, who died in Baltimore recently, left a large part of her estate to Sallie Graves, her life-long Negro servant, her will, filled here today, disclosed. The executor was instructed to invest her estate in a company represented by stocks in safe securities and make monthly payments to the servant. Mrs. Wiggins left her farm to Arthur Moorefield, her tenant. Annuities, many of them inherited from the Bartlett Yancey family, went to cousins. The estate is valued at $100,000. Boy Taken From Prison Is Murdered in Tampa TAMPA, Fla. Feb. 25 (CNN) — An 18-year-old Negro boy, charged but not even given a hearing on a mythical statuary offense, has been found dead after being murdered by white lynchmen here. The boy, Buster Allen, was in the Tampa jail, when on Monday night he was shot by a man named "Sipirich Cobb of Hernandez County," instructing them to transfer the boy to jailship. Although this is no use for the jail, the fellow made no effort to certify the other. Tampa police today, however, discovered the boy body buried beneath a grass-covered tree near Brooklyn. The body was ripped with bullets and burned, that he had been hung. White Hegemony in the United States [The following is a review of Scott Nearing's new book, "Black America," which was published in the New York World on Sunday, Feb. 24.] Economic and Moral Issues of Free Trade Relations With Islands Stressed in Hearing Before Committee in Congress WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 — Stronous opposition to a disturbance of the existing reciprocal free trade relations between the United States and the Philippines was voiced today before the House Ways and Means Committee at the opening of hearings on the administrative provisions of the tariff act. The present law recognizes the legal right to impose duties against Philippine imports, but exempts all island products from such duties. Under clause, permitting free entry of the products where they contain not more than 20 per cent. of foreign materials. Legal Right Not Questioned No witness before the committee to day questioned the legal rights to levy duties upon or restrict importation of certain Philippine products. The testimony in opposition to the disturbance of the existing trade relations was confined mainly to the economic and moral side of the conventions between the United States and the Bureau of Insular Affairs in this country, was the principal witness for the opposition. He said existing reciprocal free trade relations were justified in principle and had worked well in practice. He contended, that those urging turfite on the ground that the islands' imports were causing some injury to a domestic industry were "apprehensive in nature" and added that proponents of turfite and sugar restrictions had not shown that the changes were necessary to prevent an injury to the United States. **Philippine Leaders Testify** Also appearing in opposition to the change in existing relations were W. Chang of the Philippine-American Chamber of Commerce who was at odds with time Vice-Governor General of the islands; Pedro Guvasura, Philippine Resident Commissioner, to Washington; Violente Villamin, Filipino lawyer of New York, and John M. Switzer, representing commercial bodies in the islands. Nicholas Roosevelt, a writer, filed a statement with the committee in which he expressed his personal view that a change in the present law as requested would violate America's moral obligations to the islands. Arguing for a duty on copa and application of a law on Philippine coconut oil, Charles W. Hobson, of the National Federation, declared the United States was the only country in the world permitting free entry from its possessions of manufactured articles and that as a result a virtual monopoly in coconut oil had been set up in the islands. The position of the Negro in America is an immense and tragic contradiction. Although emancipated in 1863 and established with a new status in 1867 and living in a country that prides itself upon its democratic forms, his opportunities for advance to this very day are curbed at every point by the white man. The irony in this situation reveals itself in many ways. Beginning with the Puritan's justification of his enslavement by contending that bringing him to America became "God's work" because it brought him within the influence of a "gospel-dispensation," the Negro has never so able to overcome the burden of a false and illusory explanation. Even today it continues, in a more subtle form. It has always been an economic expedient to give to investment the aspect of ploy and to exploitation the character of virtue. After the Civil War when the Proclamation of Emancipation was supposed to have been put into effect, the irony became a more profane one. The Negro as a citizen was given the right to privileges that before were even beyond his aspiration. The court took, for instance, and move about freely in the city, and the Negro was, implicit in his new status, and only such a condition should be tolerable from the point of view of a progressive democracy. Yet in almost every Southern State today it is practically impossible for him to vote at all, and in the matter of movement from place to place there are a number of cities and towns like Wavett, O, and Lawrenceburg, Ind., where he is forbidden to live, or like Syracuse, Ohio, where it is definitely written: "A Negro is not permitted to stay overnight under any consideration." In addition to that, in all states north of the Mason-Dixon River, white, like an antebellum, is still allowed to work in public employment. The laws of the district are much more restrictive. Please help me cell phone numbers of many of working him into administration. In every state of unrestricted, independent and established, and local CAPE TOWN, Feb. 25.—The South African Parliament today refused to sanction the Natives Representation bill, thus disposing of the question of the Negro vote which threatened to dominate the general PORTO RICAN STUDENTS SEEK HOSPITAL FUND The New York Herald Tribune has received from Ponce, Porto Rico, a petition signed by the junior class of Ponce High School and addressed to the junior classes of the high schools of the United States. The students are trying to raise funds to create hospital for poor children. There is need of such an institution following the storm of last September. The petition follows: January 23, 1829. To all junior classes of high schools, colleges and universities in the United States. Dear SchoolFellows: We are Porto Rican students of the junior class in the Ponce High School, Ponce, Porto Rico. No matter all you have heard of the terrible storm that last September, we ought so much have in our little island, leaving hundreds of people homeless and in the greatest misery, and a wave of sickness and desolation that will take years to erase, in its path. We think it is our civil duty as a culture citizen to help in the work of reconstruction of our city and country, and we have decided to raise funds by various means to exect a hospital for poor children, which is one of our greatest needs, especially after the storm. We are preparing a series of programs with that aim, but in the present economic condition of the island and the money raised by them will not be enough for our purpose. So we have decided to appeal to all the junior help and co-operation. The American Red Cross has been simply wonderful in its efforts in behalf of our country, but our work does not fall within its If each junior class in the United States will help just a little bit, our dream hospital will be a splendid reality, our poor children will have medical assistance and care, and many Porti Rican mothers will bless the youths of our children. We can save the lives of hundreds of Porti Rican children. Fellow, students, may we count upon your sympathy and help? We wait till of hope. The Ponce High School Junior Class of oppression is still heavy upon him. Even in the North his position is far from satisfactory. While discrimination in the Northern States is less obvious, its existence is undeniable. In the form of equality, in way of the vote, and more extended right to education and economic privilege, are there its substance is now. In neither the professional nor the commercial worlds can the Negro enter with the white man on an equal basis. In the office of almost every firm, in the faculty of almost every college, and on the staff of almost every hospital, the Negro, regardless of merit, cannot appear. The white man excludes him with inexorable decision. The Negro's only recourse is to build up his own commercial, professional and educational worlds. He must build up. Negro corporations, Negro banks. Negro hospitals and Negro colleges. It is only in these that Negro talent can find a place. This is what he had done, but in no instance has he been able to provide sufficient work for intelllective men of educated men and women of all race. (Negro enterprise, for example, covers less than 1 per cent of American industrial enterprise.) The result has been tragic: Thousands of educated Negroes, because of the color barrier which prevents them from meeting the whites in an open battle of merit, are forced to work of labor that are very often uninviting, and crudes.

The bill, which was sponsored by Premier Hertzog, was carried at the third reading by a majority of five votes, far short of the requisite two-thirds majority. As soon as the vote was taken the Premier announced that the Colored Persons Rights bill, dealing with Indians and half-breeds and closely interwoven with the Native Rights bill, would be dropped, thus permitting a speedy end of the session. The question of the Negro vote had created bitter political hostility between the Nationalist Party, under Premier Hertzog, and the South African Party, led by General Jan Smuts. By its provisions natives living in Cape Province would have been enrolled separately and would have sent five whites to the House of Assembly. In the other three provinces a native college of electors would have been created and would have sent three members to the Senate. As a result of the bill's defeat, the general election will be contested on the existing electoral registers, which in Cdpe Province include all males, irrespective of race or color, although the Nationalist allege, that in twelve constituencies, the natives can turn the scale at any election. In the other three provinces the franchise is strictly confined to whites with the exception of a few native colored persons on the Natal voting register. The introduction of the Negro vote question has had the effect of uniting the divergent sections of General Jan Smuts' party in their opposition to the party directed by Premier Hertzog. Members from the Cape objected to tampering with the Constitution for the sake of the native colored vote, while members from the Transvaal objected to the introduction of the native vote on principle. Today, with a united party behind him, General Smith denounced Premier Hertz's dangerous national question for a party principle, and recommended the appointment of a national commission to study the native question, "not only in its political, but in its economic and other relevant aspects." KELLOGG PACT WORDING WORRIES JAPANESE DIET KELLOGG PACT WORDING WORRIES JAPANESE DIET Statesmen See Slight to Imperial Dignity in the Phrase "In the Name of the People" TOKIO, Feb. 23.—The words "In the name of the people" in the Kellogg poet, which have been much criticized in Japan because, as constitutional purists allege, they conflict with the imperial prerogative, are the subject of a resolution which Deputy Ozaki will move in the Diet next week. The resolution, as drafted declares that the Diet sincerely appreciates the spirit and object of the treaty, and continues to the effect that, because the words "In the name of the people" would be equivalent to recognizing the sovereignty of the people in treaty making, they therefore imply the alteration of Japan's established policy, and the House expects the government to attain the desired purpose without submitting the pact to the Emperor in its present form. The extreme sensitiveness of the Japanese to any act or word which appears to derogate from the imperial power makes the question a delicate one. It is no secret that while the pact was being negotiated the Japanese Government tried to have the words changed, but failed. The defense Premier Tanaka has since put up is that the phrase carries the same meaning as "for the sake of or in the interests of the people." The difficulty arises because "in the name of" is thrice used in the Japanese Constitution in connection with the Emperors preagreatives. Apparently the government could give effect to the House's desires if the resolutions were carried by an interpretative statement similar to the American Senate's. Certainly, while the conservative Japanese are seriously concerned about anything that even appears to impair the dignity of the throne, it is universally recognized that it would be most undesirable to reject the pact between a form of words all other nations accept. The opposition naturally regards the matter as a stick with which to beat the government, and is a merely harmless threat. There is always the prospect of annoying it. But the Party Council, which governs the question, has had there to be certain the matter in all the legislatures, and it is impossible with all the legislatures to impose modification. At least an interpretative statement may be required to be held on the ground. NEW YORK, LIBERTY HALL, Sunday Night, February 24. Under the auspices of The Garvey Club, Inc., the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association assembled here tonight in mass meeting and, as is the custom, listened with intense interest to the various speakers as they emphasized the things that should before all else occupy the minds of the membership everywhere, and reiterated their abiding faith in the ultimate victory of Garveyism, in spite of the feverish but understandable efforts of the ancient enemy to hamper the movement. Hon. Mme. M. L. T. De Mena, Asst. International Organizer, who has been responsible for the leadership of the American wing of the organization during the last eight weeks in the absence of Hon. E. B. Knox, arrived at a late hour, having left the city early in the day to attend a meeting in Camden, New Jersey. But until she arrived to climax the proceedings with one of her spirited addresses, other speakers held the attention of the great audience with a series of timely and entertaining talks, the meeting being under the direction of Miss Ethel Collins, Lady Vice-President. After the usual processional, which was followed by prayers read from the Ritual, a short concert programme was rendered as follows: Selection by the Universal Band, under the capable direction of Prof. Ulric Hassell; anthem by the choir; recitation by Mrs. Clarke; song by Mrs. Hamilton, entitled "Angel Song," and a recitation by Mrs. Morrison, "Hail, Garvey." Miss Gladys Parker, who arrived with Mme. De Mena, at the latter's request stirred the audience with her recital of "The Best You Have." Mrs. Douglas-Moore at the piano was an efficient accompanist. U. N. I. A. AIMS AND OBJECTS The first speech of the evening was delivered by Mr. J. A. Boltram, who reviewed the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as laid down in the Constitution, and urged upon the membership the necessity of always keeping before their mind's eye the goal for which they were striving. It was especially important, said the speaker, that at this time the membership should obey the Constitution to the letter—a time when there was such a powerful effort being engineered by enemies of the organization to sow misunderstanding and discord. Contrary to what others might do, the Universal Negro Improvement Association believed in a wholesome respect for the rights of all humanity. It believed that the black man should share in the blessings common to humanity on earth. The Universal Negro Improvement Association was engaged in creating and had not the slightest, regard for any one or any institution which sought to turn it aside or impede it in its upbringing activities. CAPT. ALLEYNE'S ADDRESS Capt. Joseph Alleyne, of the Universal-African Legions, was the next speaker. He prefaced his address with an earnest and eloquent appeal to the men of the organization to line up in the uniform ranks and build these units up again to the strength which they had "once attained." He next urged upon the membership the value of education, advising the utilizing of the evening school so that members could prepare themselves to fill the higher positions in the organization. The speaker then delivered a spitched talk on "The Black Man and Leadership." He began by recalling the bringing of the Negro from his native soil to foreign lands in the Western Hemisphere, painted a poignant picture of his miserable plight, held down by the slave-master, and then dwelt on coming to the rescue of all the noted leaders of the race—Toussaint L'Ouverture of Haiti; Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, and then Marcus Garvey, who, he said, was giving as excellent, an example of inspired and courageous leadership as the world had ever seen. He warned the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association not to allow themselves to be weakened in their faith by the clamor that was being raised, that Marcus Garvey had some gigantic scheme on foot "to steal Negroes' money." How long since asked the speaker, has the white man become so interested in the welfare of Negroes? But this was all a smoke-screen. It was not Marcus Garvey, he declared, whom the Negroes had reason to fear, but it was those who had stolen their very souls, had stolen their civilization, had stolen their culture, were stealing their women—those whose history, revealed as the real oppressors of the Negro race. FOLLOW THE LEADER Mrs. L. McCartney and Mrs. E. Capers followed with brief addresses, in the course of which they urged the membership to stick close to Marcus Garvey. The Negroes of the World, they emphasized, had decided what was, good for themselves; they had elected Marcus Garvey as their leader; he had proven himself an able anti and worthy leader; they were the best judges of the quality of the service he had rendered, and those who would be subtle or brazen propgander, seek to undermine the respect and confidence Negroes had in his leadership were but wasting their time. HON. MME. DE MENA'S ADDRESS Hon. Mme. M. L. T. De Mena, Assistant International Organizer, was the final speaker. She said she brought greetings from Camden, New Jersey, from which Division she had just returned, and where they were looking forward eagerly to the great convention to be held in August, at which the association would be rehabilitated and a great step forward inken toward the putting over of the program. Mme. Do Mena then continued that shoot was proud to contemplate the splendid progress the race was making as a whole in the face of the dire opposition and handicaps it had to face. Everywhere Negroes were holding their heads up, more and more, taking life a little more seriously than they used to and planning and working for the future and posterity as other races did with such signal success. It was only by looking into the future that anything on a big scale, such as the Universal Negro Improvement Association had planned, could be accomplished. Looking Ahead One of the finest gifts that the Hon. Marcus Garvey, possessed was his ability to see into the future, to see around the corner, to draw correct conclusions from what was happening in the present and guide the organization safely through the quicksands. In common with the vast membership of the organization, she had unbound confidence in the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and she hoped that now more than at any other time Negroes would respond to his call for steadfastness and unfalling support so that the great plans which he was initiating for the benefit of the race would not fall of successful accomplishment.

AUTHORITY OF INDEPENDENCE AND REPRESENTATION "Bishop" Our ablest mission of our draw sovereignty as soon as possible. Senator King declared, "our King still has our New Republic for themselves. He should give us the power to govern and rule." Senator King's will would authorize the Philippine legislature to call a general election of delegates to a con- stitution for an independent republican government. Upon its ratification and the election of officers, the President of the United States would be empowered to proclaim independence. 392,668 Americans Now Living Abroad WASHINGTON, Feb. 22—A total of 132,922 Americans reside abroad permanently or semi-permanently, the State.

GALLABAT, Sudan (via Kharon, On). Feb. 26. I have just reached the Sudanese border after an extensive caravan trip through Abyssinia, where all foreigners are viewed with suspicion. Each province is like a watertight compartment and the powerful Resses (chiefs) and the priests are defying the central government. Passports issued by Ras Tafari are valuables. Civic war is easily positive and the attitude toward foreigners is the keynote to the situation. Chiefs and subchiefs held me prisoner for days, an armed force surrounding my camp. The brisk trade in slave-dealing is an open secret. The roads are unsafe. Yesterday I saw some robbers match-four calico-haden donkeys from a trade caravan. Is such a medieval government entitled to belong to the League of Nations and to send diplomas abroad? Negro Women Cigar Slaves in Walkout PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 11 (CNN)—Over 100 unorganized Negro workers work at the world's largest cigar factory, Bayuk Brothers, corner Ninth street and Columbia avenue, walked out a few weeks ago in protest against the miserable slave conditions, they had to work under. Given a rate of 25 cents for stripping twelve and a half pounds of tobacco, the pay envelopes of the group, for a full week ranged from $3.50 to $11 a week, the average the women made being around $9. The workers demanded an increase of 10 cents in the rate and walked out in a body when the bosses refused to grant the demand. The girls are forced to work 10 hours a day or more and the conditions they work under are unsanitary. In a few years the girls and women working in the Bayuk factory come out with their health nearly completely destroyed. They were entirely unorganized at the time the strike started. Emancipation Pen Offered For Sale NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—The gold pen with which President Lincoln signed the proclamation emancipating the slaves Jan. 1, 1863, is among the offerings in a sale of Americana, in the Anderson Galleries Wednesday afternoon. It comes from the family of Louis Burgdorf, a White House messenger who was a favorite with the President. Burgdorf held the proclamation smoothly on a table, while the President signed it, and the gift was made immediately afterward. Affidavits by Burgdorf, and his daughter authenticate the item, which is offered in its original handle of black wood. About one week after the signing Burgdorf obtained the table, which he gave to Daniel Nash Morgan, who passed it, with authenticating documents, to the Connecticut State Library, its owner since then. Other Lincoln souvenirs are included in the sale. Emmett Lawrence Dead Always, Obtain. It is a good practice to be environmentally conscious of the environment. The environment is the environment in which we live and work. It is a vital resource and is essential to survive. Respect reports direct from the Chief as to their perspective districts. As an illustration of the present methods of procedure adopted by the Protectorate Government it will be sufficient to quote one case by way of example: **Signoring** The Kabaka Quite recently the Administrative Officer in charge of the District arranged an Official Meeting, or "District" Lukiko of all the County Chiefs in his district at which he presided and where important administrative questions were discussed and settled without the knowledge and sanction of the Kabaka or his Minsters of State. Furthermore, the right to recommend candidates to all vacancies, in the Native Chiefships, are now claimed as part of the duties of the Administrative Officers of each district and should the Kabaka or his government require the attendance of any County or Gombolola Chief to discuss, matters of national importance the sanction of the Protectorate Government must first be obtained. Hitting at the Peasant It is evident from the above that the present method of procedure adopted by the Protectorate Government has naturally tended to lower the prestige of the Kabaka and his Parliament in the eyes of the ordinary peasant. In this connection it should be remembered that the system of government has always been through the Chiefs and it is the Chief of his county that the ordinary native appeals for justice. If the Protectorate Government retains the right of selection, appointment, and control of the Chiefs in defense of the Uganda Agreement of 1900, the native peasant stands very little prospect of a sympathetic hearing should his grievance be at variapace with the policy of the Protectorate Government. It is the considered opinion of the Kabab and his people that the methods of procedure described above violate Clause 8 of the Uganda Agreement of 1900, but states: "On all questions but the assessment and collection of taxes, the Chief of the County" will report direct to the King's Native Ministers from whom he will receive his instructions." It is also contrary to the terms of Clause 6, which states: "The Kabab of Uganda shall exercise direct rule over the native of Uganda to whom he shall administer justice through the Lukiko, or Native Council, and through others of his officiers." (b). THE PROCEDURE WHEREBY THE_PROVINCIAL COMMISSIONER APPROACHES THE KABAKA DIRECT INSTEAD OF THROUGH HIS EXCELLENCE. For the purpose of administration the Protectorate of Uganda is divided into four provinces, the Provincial Commissioner of each province being the deputy of His Excellency the Governor of the Protectorate. Up to quite recently His Majesty's chief representative in Uganda consulted the Kabaka on important matters of State. Now the present Provincial Commissioner of the Buganda Province occupies the position allocated to the Kabaka under the agreement of 1800. Any orders issued from the Protectorate Government are transmitted through the Provincial Commissioner direct to the Kabaka and any orders issued by the Kabaka or his ministers to the native chiefs have to be countedigned and approved by the Provincial Commissioner. This is in direct conflict with clause 19. of the Uganda agreement, which states: "Her Majesty's chief representatives in Uganda shall at any time have direct access to the Kabaka and shall have the power of discussing matters affecting Uganda with the Kabaka alone." It is clear from the wording of this clause that only His Excellency, the Governor (and not the Provincial Commissioner) has the right to direct access to the Kabaka for the purposes of discussing matters affecting the welfare of the Buganda kingdom. **Plagrant Defiance** It may prove helpful to a fuller understanding of the significance of this question if it be explained that the present Provincial Commissioner of the Buganda kingdom was placed in office in defiance of the wishes of the Kabaka and the assurances in writing of His Excellency, the Governor to the Kabaka that the wishes of the latter would be borne in mind when the Provincial Commissioner was appointed. To break that cold which comes in an hour, or has hung on for days, try Bayer Aspirin tablets. There is no quicker way to end a cold, and the pain which goes with it. Relief starts at once, so you needn't suffer even for a little while. Any doctor can tell you that Bayer Aspirin is safe to use freely. When your throat is raw and sore, you can ease it with a simple gargle which you can make just by dissolving two Bayer Aspirin tablets in four tablespoonfuls of water. Even in tonsilitis, you need not repeat the gargle many times for full relief. Only one thing to watch —always get Bayer Aspirin! The genuine has the Bayer Cross on every package and tablet. In the early 19th century, the United States made native settlers in the American Kingdom. This has been done in deference of the laws of the Ruganda Empire and in the interest of the native settlers. Native settlers were required to attend a church (where the well-to-do natives attend). The result of this policy is the introduction of "class war," the poorer classes being denied instruction in English, the only language likely to be of use either for trading purposes or for equipping them to share in the government of the country. Furthermore, Kiswahili is regarded as a "slave trade" or "coast language," and on this account alone is detested by the Buganda people. In this connection it may be stated that the Buganda have always been regarded as pioneers of education and are held to be a model for imitation by all the other tribes in Africa. Several expressions of opinion have appeared in the local press of Uganda expressing strong disapproval with the compulsory teaching of Kiswahili, but without any change of policy on the part of the Protectorate. Government. Paving the Way The opinion of the average Buganda native is that Kiwahill (which in taught in Kenya and Tanganyika) is being introduced in Uganda in order to pave the way, for a policy of "federation" with other East African territories—a matter which is to be reported on by the Hilton Young Commission in January next. In conclusion it may be stated that the Buganda Kingdom has been for about 600 years an independent country possessing a form of government somewhat similar to the feudal system in England under the Normans. The people-submitted to British rule on conditions that they continued to manage their own internal affairs through their Kabaka and their representatives in Parliament. It is the opinion of the large majority, of the Buganda people that the present policy of the Protectorate Government has for its deliberate object the merging of the Buganda Kingdom with the three remaining provinces of Uganda under the sole control of the Protectorate Government. That this is so can be judged by the methods of procedure recently adopted and already described.

The dismissal of the Secretary of the Parliament for "disloyalty" (to the native mind this means sedition), in spite of him being a full member having the confidence of his King, has now silenced all criticism of the Protectorate Government's administrations of the country. The Buganda people are not "disloyal," nor are they anti-British. Their one desire is to be allowed to manage their own internal affairs and to live in peace under the protection and guidance of the British Empire. Licorish Medal in Doubt WASHINGTON. D. C. Feb. 21.

A CHALLENGE TO THE NEGRO MEROES on the western hemisphere who are purpliant and unruffled ways oblivious to what is arising in Africa, indifferent to the fate of the Abyss for the preservation of his manhood, struggle, emblance of that freedom, which his western nation to have had handed to him more than a century may be progressive in their own eyesight, but evident when measured by the standards of other white world has its eyes upon Africa today, being discussed because all of the white races are infinite possibilities. Many Negroes who know Africa as the white man does are so saturated with interest for their white masters that they assume an indifference and give as their reason that the thing to be opposed. While the Negro is wasting his time with wailing high over the discrimination and insults which he America, the West Indies and elsewhere, the white tighten his hold upon the only place toward the earth have an indisputable right to untangle and Africa are agreeing and disagreeing to devise the best plan by which their right be strengthened. We hear much of the discontent of the South African policies of General Smuts and final analysis all of their efforts are bent in to govern the native and control the vast wealth told that it is the opinion of General Smuts that Great Britain now faces in South Africa is unlikely not been faced by any other country of Africa further: In the solving of this problem, the establishment of on a black continent, that we are now most earnest. It is a task which in a sense is the most stupendous in human history. We fall, our white population is doomed in Africa, and will continue on its road of immemorial barbarism. If the other hand, in working out relations under which white may live together and pururo a common task of self-development, we shall have solved one of the problems of all time. Believe that South Africa is engaged in one of the greats the world has ever known. I hope that those outlaws who may be interested in watching the relatability of the white in this country will appreciate the greatness of not lightly condemn us where they differ from our villa. I am sure, pull through, in the moment the world must realize that the question of white and black continent is going to be the most interesting and one of the twentieth century. Smuts tells his people that if they fail, the world welcomed in Africa and "this continent will continue memorial barbarism." But is this true? This white man concerning a race that he desires to do. Negroes who are pushing and pulling, fighting a place in the front line of races ought to act as a challenge to their manhood and womanhood the smallest grain of commonsense or self-respect to acquiesce when white men say that the morally to attempt to do the things that white people have done and are doing. No Negro believe that it is a normal situation for a handshake backed by a strong government) to continue millions of natives who are the lawful owners of their dwell. The man would have the black race believe that hopeless because of the economic, financial and the oppressor. But strength such as this will allow the day that the African becomes sufficient that lies in numbers and awakens to his human being. In the West has had a start, and he is the one coming of a new day for himself and for the sea. NEGROES on the western hemisphere who are pursuing their complacent and unruffled ways oblivious to what is transpiring in Africa, indifferent to the fate of the African who is fighting for the preservation of his manhood, struggling to acquire semblance of that freedom, which his western brother is supposed to have had handed to him more than a century and a half ago, may be progressive in their own eyesight, but they are sady deficient when measured by the standards of other races. All of the white world has its eyes upon Africa today. It is constantly being discussed because all of the white races are fully aware of its infinite possibilities. Many Negroes who know as much about Africa as the white man does are so saturated with fear, and adulation for their white masters that they assume an amazing attitude of indifference and give as their reason that the white man is too strong to be opposed. But while the Negro is wasting his time with wailing and gnashing of teeth over the discrimination and insults which he constantly meets in America, the West Indies and elsewhere, the white man is seeking to tighten his hold upon the only place toward which the black people of the earth have an indisputable right to turn. White men in England and Africa are agreeing and disagreeing, but always scheming to devise the best plan by which their hold upon Africa might be strengthened. We hear much of the disagreements between the South African policies of General Smuts and Hertzog, but in the final analysis all of their efforts are bent in the same direction—to govern the native and control the vast wealth of Africa. We are told that it is the opinion of General Smuts that the problem which Great Britain now faces in South Africa is one which "has probably not been faced by any other country of the world." He tells us further: It is in the solving of this problem, the establishment of a white population on a black continent, that we are now most earnestly engaged. It is a task which in a sense is the most stupendous ever undertaken in human history. If we fall, our white population is doomed in Africa, and this continent will continue on its road of immemorial barbarism: If we succeed, on the other hand, in working out relations under which black and white may live together and pursue a common task of civilization and self-development, we shall have solved one of the greatest human problems of all time. I believe that South Africa is engaged in one of the greatest experiments the world has ever known. I hope that those outside South Africa who may be interested in watching the relations of the black and the white in this country will appreciate the greatness of the task and will not lightly condemn us where they differ from our views. We shall. I am sure, pull through, but in the meantime the empire and the world must realize that the question of white and black on the African continent is going to be the most interesting and enthralling problem of the twentieth century. General Smuts tells his people that if they fail, the white population is doomed in Africa and "this continent will continue on its road of immemorial barbarism." But is this true? This is the opinion of a white man concerning a race that he desires to continue to dominate. Negroes who are pushing and pulling, fighting and clamoring for a place in the front line of races ought to accept such statements as a challenge to their manhood and womanhood. Negroes with the smallest grain of commonsense or self-respect ought to feel ashamed to acquiesce when white men say that the black race is too inferior mentally to attempt to do the things that brown, yellow and white people have done and are doing. No Negro who is sane could believe that it is a normal situation for a handful of white men (even backed by a strong government) to continue to drive like slaves millions of natives who are the lawful owners of the land in which they dwell. The white man would have the black race believe that the affair is quite hopeless because of the economic, financial and military strength of the oppressor. But strength such as this will be of small consideration the day that the African becomes sufficiently aware of the strength that lies in numbers and awakens to his potentialities as a human being. The Negro in the West has had a start, and he is the one who can hasten the coming of a new day for himself and for his brother across the sea. THE REMAINS OF A REGIMENT HING that the British Government has done it years gave rise to more head-shaking and su open discontent, in West Indian circles that short time ago of the West India Regiment, un change in the Constitution of British Gulana, of the semi-self-government which it enjoyed, at India Regiment, which was quartered in the distinction of being one of the most fami of the British Empire—a distinction, for black mus- when it is considered that their military pro- NOTHING that the British Government has done within recent years gave rise to more head-shaking and suspicion, if not open discontent, in West Indian circles than the disbanding a short time ago of the West India Regiment, unless it be the recent change in the Constitution of British Gutana, depriving that country of the semi-self-government which it enjoyed. The West India Regiment, which was quartered in Jamaica, rightly earned the distinction of being one of the most famous fighting units of the British Empire—a distinction, for black men, somewhat dubious when it is considered that their military prowess was very often exhibited in campaigns against their black brethren in Africa. When the World War came the West India Regiment was sent Africa and added to its official unitry by a series of brilliant campaigns in the Cameroons. After serving here and there in the various masses of war on the conclusion of the Cameroons campaign, the Kis were sent back to Jamaica. Years passed, the reaction of peoples of the world to the Great Measure that was to make world safe for Democracy was duly noted, and then came the alms no longer comfort the downtrodden and penniless. It would be difficult today for the Government of British Guiana to round up wild animals rather as once it did by the simple expedient of ordering its "Militia Band" to parade the streets. For British Guiana worshipped its "Militia Band," Barbados its "Epilee Band" and Trinidad its "Constabulary Band" with as much fervor as Jamaica its good old "W. I. R. Band." But British diplomacy is nothing if not resourceful, and its beliefs die hard. Suspicious of the military value of a regiment of black men in a country mainly populated by post-war black men; it decreed the passing of the black veterans, their sabres and their guns. But what of the band, that harmless, useful institution, that allayer of unrest extraordinary? It must not die! "The Government of Jamaica," we are told, "decided to retain and maintain it, preserving the quaint Zouave uniform of blue, red and yellow. It brought from England a new musical director, Lieutenant Bradley. It is now being considered as leading band for the next Toronto Exposition, and it is probable it will make a tour of the United States next summer." And there we are! They cried for bread 2000 years ago and certain heartless gentlemen proffered a stone. Jamaicans want their famous, Regiment and they get a band. Surely the British are wise in their generation. And traditionally so. For was it not a famous Englishman, Comrade Shakespeare, who wrote: "The man that is not moved by concord of sweet sounds is fit for treasures, stratagems and spoils?" With the regiment and the band there might be stratagems, but with the band alone, only an engaging sentimentalism.

On February 8 martial law was proclaimed in the four northern departments of Nicaragua where General Sandino and his men are concentrated. On February 9 the Nicaraguan Legation in Washington made public this statement: "This legislation has been officially informed by the Nicaraguan Government that Sandino's bands have left Nicaraguan territory and that peace has been re-established throughout Nicaragua." On February 10 United States Marine Headquarters in Managua called the statement "promature." Sandino himself, according to this report, has become almost a negligible factor in the situation but without the activity of the marines and the Nicaraguan national guard "organized banditry would again develop into a real monster." The same dispatch carried reports that a "roving band of outlaws" had killed four natives and that, as usual, a "marine patrol was sent to the scene." Meanwhile a resolution is pending in Congress, which would "authorize a survey of canal routes in Nicaragua." Those in favor of the canal say that if traffic through the Panama Canal continues to increase at its present rate, the limit of its capacity will be reached in forty to seventy-five years.→The Nation. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS The force of example is very powerful. We are creatures of imitation and our habits are usually formed on the model of those with whom we familiarly associate. Better be alone than be in bad company, for habits and qualities are catching as well as some diseases, and the mind is equally as much, if not a great deal more, liable to infection than the body—National Baptist Voice. The battle of the city Negro, who largely depends upon his hands for his earnings, has not yet been won or lost. While he has shown adaptability and industry, he has yet to prove that he is "city-minded" in the matter of securing an undeniable ownership in the city's high-geared scheme of living.—St. Louis American. There is an old, old saying, so oft repeated as to render it axiomatic, that when a man goes about looking for trouble, he is very apt to find it—Indianapolis Recorder. As a great thinker has said: "Man cannot exist without science, and he cannot live without religion." The trouble comes with most people thinking that the two conflict, when any real conception of them, proves that they do not. The province and purpose of science are one thing; the realm and object of religion are another thing. Each servant man in different spheres. Just as medicine is for one purpose and books for another. So it is with science and religion. Men should realize this distinction and stop worrying and arguing and falling out. -Louisville Leader. The economic battle is on. Pressure is getting heavier and harder. Economic and industrial independence is the outstanding problem of the race. The conditions are rapidly changing: If the Negro is not able to adjust himself to these changing conditions so that he can meet the demands of the social order his struggle for independence will change to a struggle against dependence—Washington Tribune. Although it may seem different as we glance at many incidents which show, a decided lack of cohesiveness, we are firmly of the opinion that as a whole the race group is slowly, but surely getting together along the essential lines of progress. We are satisfied with just a little stronger pull on the part of our real leadership things will move for such co-operation as we have never realized before—California Eagle. The man who is the object of prejudice pays in the injuries done to his body, the constant turmulit and bitterness of mind that he at times shields behind an "importunity complex." By placing it in the context of the war and the turmulit, we will find that the purpose of the iron is the coup of the opponent in a part of the matter of the brain himself, a part that merely surrounds in the gaze of the opponent it is an extraneous Onion that is driven toward.

Whole-some co-operation among classes not only buries to the benefit of those who co-operate, but to the general community as well. It is not the selfish nor channish sort of co-operation, but the bringing together of units of people for the better preservation of their common interests. It is the kind of co-operation that not only buries to the benefit of the species of the world. It is the kind of co-operation that invites the co-operation of other groups and classes.

In Exports to Barbados BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Feb. 15 The annual import and export report of the Barbados government will not be ready for publication until April, but items released in advance, contain much that will interest the American manufacturer and wholesale dealer. The value of Ibarbados exports for 1928 was above $6,000,000, of which 75 per cent went to Canada. During the year the Island imported from the United States goods to the value of $23,250,000 and from Canada goods worth $122,000. Most of the machinery imported came from the United States, the total value being $60,000, while only $600 worth came from Canada. A New York Home Of Indian Culture The culture of India is to have it centre in New York, according to an announcement by the India Society of America. A location is to be chosen in the vicinity of Columbia University, where information regarding the social religious and political aspects of Indian life will be gathered and where the offices of the society will be situated. The India Centre will be similar in many respects to the Casa Jollaana, the Deutsches Haus and other national cultural centres in the city. It proposes new home with certain architectural design discussions and the showing of Higdu Jima, an art gallery for exhibitions of Higdu paintings and a library on Asia and India. The centre will maintain an India information bureau for visitors and business organizations. As a centre of Hindu culture it will keep in touch with similar organizations all over the world, such as the School of Oriental Studies in London, the India Institute in Paris, and the three leading centres in India, the Greater India Society, Tajore International University and the Rose Institute. Turks Must Add Family Names To Be Added 1923 TO OLD CITIES FOR 1930 CENSUS CONSTANTINOIPLE, Feb. 29.—Dissatisfied with results of the first census in 1857, regarded as an experiment, the Turkish government is preparing an even more definitive census in 1930. In 1930, find family names instead of the single patronymic Miahoud or All after their father or grandfather. Taking single names from the Prophet or the caliph or, for women from the Prophet's wife Ayosha is common today: These religious names beaverer, will become first names, but family names must now be adopted, and following the medieval European tradition, when names reflected trades, handlers and professions, a large crop of Smiths, Bakers, Butchers, Carpenters, Fishers and Farmers, is expected in Turkish telephone directories after the 1930 census. JAPAN CULTURE FOR CHINA "The necessary expenses will be defrayed from a special fund obtained from the revenues from the Boxer indemnity and the Shantung Railway loan," he said. "These institutes will be open not only for Chinese and Japanese students, but also for foreign students; and, I am sure, will contribute in no small degree to the development of intellectual co-operation between the occidental and oriental peoples." FOR CHILDREN Children need plenty of wholesome, spicery food. Their diet should include cereal, fruit vegetables, fruit some meat and three or four glasses of milk every day.

The following excerpts are taken from a very interesting tribute and informative article appearing in the March issue of Plain Talk, dealing with the excesses and oppressive tactics of the Marines in Haiti. When the American Marines descended on Haiti in 1915 they brought more with them than their guns. Practically every uniform was stained from the tassel-crowned hat to the tip of the toe with Jim Crowman. During the twelve years of intervention a figure of the black man that is half humorous and half threatening has colored every move made by Americans, there not only the Marines, but virtually the entire force of the American occupation. Every visitor to Haiti is struck with one curious fact. The Marine's swaggering boisterousness is vocalized if unmistakable accents—he is from the South. It might be presumed that Southerners were chosen for the work of colonizing because of their familiarity with Negroes and their idea that a nigger is a nigger whether in Georgia or in Haiti. The Negro has received better treatment in parts of the South (though assuredly not in the jungles of Georgia and Mississippi) than in the North, it is true, but the classes who have dealt put a modicum of humanness are not the kind who join the Marines. Those who have been humane are from the upper and the middle classes. The Marines have no particular social standing. So we have the surprising spectacle of a country free, black, and 112 years old saddled with a uniformed constabulary recruited from another country and class—whose hatred of the blacks is accentuated by an economic fear. These lowly ones, scarcely above the social status of the Negro in the South, now have the power, gun in hand and the United States Behind them, to lay down the law to his brother in the Tropica. Perhaps the Haitian disparages the results of the occupation, but to an unbiased visitor his judgments come much nearer the truth than the temptuous claims of the Americans. Granting that the Americans have done everything they beast of—stabilized the government, improved sanitary conditions, taught the natives improved methods of agriculture, opened up the country by roads and bridges, and enlightened Haiti in general—granting all this, Haiti still has an excellent case against American intervention. America has no great respect for constitutional rights, as she has shown the world by sermoning her own Bill of Rights in an attempted regulation of the diet of her citizens; but in Haiti she has surpassed herself. America intervened in Haiti ostensibly to set the country on its feet again. She was to initiate the Haitians into the mysteries of running a successful government by giving them the benefit of her broader and less-disastrous experiences. The Haitians were to be trained and then slipped into the grooves of the smoothly running machine. How has this been carried out? In 1918 the Haitian constitution was discarded and a very claustic American one was substituted. Instead of gaining experience in governmental matters, the Haitians are being shoved completely out, and, outside of the handful of puppets sitting faintly in the palace, they have no hand in the government at all. This comes hard to a class that for more than a century has had no other occupation. Almost without exception the Haitian aristocracy is composed of lawyers, and their interest in law has been to enable them to become politicians. Coming down to the most important point, whether spoken of by friend or for foe, he was never called "nigger." It remained for the Americans to acquaint him of his true status, to let him know that he was socially non-existent by barring him from their clubs, their movies, their homes. Twelve years of continuous reminding by the Americans have as yet failed to convince the Haitians that it is true. His Journals point out flaws in the Marines, the civilians, American itself. They point out these flaws so consistently, so loudly and so logically, that Port au Prince now and then finds itself with but one newspaper, Lo Temps, the only one of the six in favor of the occupation. The others have been temporally discontinued by reason of their sailors being held in jail and being held there in uncommunicado until the so-called elections, or whatever was infurting them, had occurred. The editors spend so much behind the bars that the street leading to the Haitian penitentiary is known facetiously as Rue des Journalistes. The annual New Year's parly given by the President is most enjoyable to the Americans—to the Americans only, for even the President must draw the color line. The first of January is Independence Day in Haiti, as it was on that date in 1804 that Dessalins issued his proclamation against the domination of the whites. So it appears a little ironical that on the day sacred to the Haitians they should be pushed aside in a celebration by their own President in honor of the American officers who are shoving them back politically to the days before their emancipation. At this party the men are not saddled with their wives, for, of necessity, one or two niggers (including the President) must be there. The men are free to guzzle as much champagne as they can hold, and more. The Haitian palace guard is on duty to carry out those who cannot walk. This is no unnecessary gesture. An American, side beasted to one that last year nine out of ten men had to be carried down the Presidential stairs with their feet off the floor and taken home under his supervision. That was his job for the night. The Haitians are very moderate drinkers, and the wholesale drunkenness exhibited by the Americans dissuades them heartily. They refuse to consider themselves the social inferiors of people capable of such swindness. The peasantry of Haiti hates the Americans as much as the aristocracy does; but, as the peasant is inartificate, his only means of expression is a grim unceasing solitary air. There is nothing of fear in his attitude toward the whites. He regards them with a superb disdain, worthy of the aristocracy itself, the while he works as yard-boy or cook at double the wages he would get from members of his own race. It after twelve years, the Americans and the Haitians are still on unfriendly terms and neither one is making any effort to understand the other; it is reasonable to suppose that there is little prospect of a changed attitude. DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEGRO Catholic clergy and laymen have been admitting to themselves, for some time that, while the American Protestant Negro has been losing confidence in his present spiritual tutors, they have been remails in their duty of presenting adequately the claims of Catholicity. Of course, some progress has been made, under the leadership of the Archbishops of Philadelphia, the Church has made progress with her Negro and Indian missions. The majority of Negroes in the Church are located in other large centers of population. In the country, districts, Negro Catholics are insignificant in number, and are treated with the same bigoted intolerance as their white co-religionists. The Church in America is fully allied to the community that is now presenting itself. It does not look upon the "Negro Question" as something hazy and far away; indeed, it does not look upon it as a question at all. In her wise mind, the Negro is a human being who is open to reason, warm hearted and deeply religious. The same missionary endeavor, the same preaching of the gospel of love, the same devoted service which won over the Latin; the Teuton men, the Celt will be employed for the conversion of the Negro and nothing more or less. Devoted priests and nuns are going into the southland. Here they will attempt to readjust or rather improve the economical and social condition of the Colored people. They will be treated there as other men have been treated, and they will be expected to respond as others have responded. An important activity in this field is the Cardinal Gibbons institute, established to make possible the development of Negro Catholic leaders. In spite of diffusing the work has provened with satisfactory result. The method employed at the institute is founded on that of the ancient Papal patriarchary authorities. The union of mental and manual printing, closely intertwined with the daily life of the community has been found after centuries as far more effective. Philadelphia Catholic have ever been to the forefront, in the ministry inquired among the Marist. This interest has manifested itself in every degree from the library of the supreme chapels of the diocese and the apostolic of Mother Katherine Droswell and her noble name to the law office of the bishop.
