Mr. Garvey Fires Broadside at Unscrupulous White Group That Is Trying to Blast The Hopes of the Negro Race
Fellow-Men of the Negro Race, Greeting:
Once more it is my duty to call to your attention the subtle effort of a certain section of the white race to undermine and destroy every legitimate activity that tends to promote the absolute interest of the Negro race. That there are Negro haters in the world, no one can deny, but some are more rabid and vicious than others. It is to this vicious and rabid group in America that I desire to direct the attention of every Negro in the world.
Program That Means All to the Negro
It goes without saying that the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the only one up to the present that really means anything to the Negro as a man. It seeks no half-hearted or insincere compromise of an issue that can only be honestly and honorably stated. Without any apology it states the desire of the Negro as a man. This statement of fact is not relished by that element of the white race that has perpetuated its prejudice from slavery down to the present: Such white men are the dregs of the society of their race who make all the trouble there is in the world between the races and who perpetuate the hate of the one for the other. Such men you will find scattered here and there in private life, in public life and in governmental life; such are the vagabonds whom not only Negroes must watch, but the white race itself, because they mean no good to the white race but to make enemies who may some day or other show that God never made one race or the other to dominate permanently.
Will Not Always Rule the World
It is foolish for the white man to believe that he is always going to rule the world. Therefore, when he piles up hate, he is only suggesting a reward for his generations to come which might not be pleasant. For anyone to believe that he can permanently disorganize and disable the Negro is to suggest that man can permanently disorganize the works of God. The black man's place is cut out in the world; Nature has made it, and there is no prejudiced group of white men, nor anyone for that matter, who will stop him on the way to the accomplishment of his end.
Frame-Up for Purpose
When I was framed up by white men, along with other Negroes in America, it was not so much a plan to harm me, but they intended to harm the principles I represent. They thought my imprisonment and deportation from America would have brought an end to the Universal Negro Improvement Association; but let me tell the fools that the mighty work of the U. N. I. A. is just getting under way, and with the force of the mighty avalanche, they, the few prejudiced whites, will be snowed under. There is no machination, there is no deviltry that they can plan that we are not able to offset.
The Method Used
Unscrupulous men may try to thwart the U. N. I. A. in America, but they must remember that there is a whole world to cope with. We shall fight even to the gates of hell to see that the Negro's hopes and aspirations are not thwarted. It is well that the respectable white people of America see to it that the few prejudiced men of their race do not write such foolish history as to make it impossible for their generations to justify their acts. God made 400,000,000 black men to live like men and not like dogs; therefore, no cunning tricks by any unscrupulous white group shall thwart us. We shall let the prejudiced white man know that no one fears him, but that we are going to give him a fight to the bitter end. His little dirty tricks may embarrass us for the time being, but by the gods
prejudice that is intended to throttle their hopes, and, with the enthusiasm that is general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, have continued to link their hopes with the scattered millions throughout the world who are willing to co-operate with them for their emancipation, politically and economically. We, the Negroes of the United States of America, South and Central America, the West Indies and Africa, will allow no prejudiced group to disable or disorganize us, but we will hold fast. Let the fools labor as they may to harass the U. N. I. A., but like the wind they cannot incase nor can they stop it. Nature and Nature's Gods have written in the laws that Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands. Ethiopia is stretching forth her hands. We are going forward. We are stronger today than we ever were despite all that has been done. Is that not encouraging? Is that not proof enough that we cannot be thwarted? What is this prejudiced group of white men going to do?
Big International Convention
We are looking forward to our International Convention, at which time we shall legally and properly ring the changes, and then we shall rise again to face the world with a greater determination to see that Africa is redeemed and the Negro race emancipated everywhere. Mr. White Man, what are you going to do to stop the onward march of the Negro? The majesty of government should never be used to throttle the hopes of an unfortunate people. It is a pity that the majority of the people cannot see how this prejudiced group is destroying their morals. It is good, however, that we have fair-minded men in Europe and America, of the white race, who will constitutionally stop the prejudiced white man from unlawfully attempting to crush a struggling race; to such class we appeal for fair play.
Unscrupulous Group
I have had enough of that unscrupulous group of prejudiced white men who have used me as a scapegoat to rob the poor black people. First they said that the Black Star Line was a failure; yet five years after the rogues got hold of the twenty-five thousand dollars lodged with the Shipping Board to purchase a ship for the Black Star Line, and divided it up among themselves—the crooked white lawyers of New York and others got the black people's money.
Who Are the Rogues?
Who are the rogues? They are the rogues, not Marcus Garvey, and very soon sensible men will find it out. Later on we purchased the S.S. General Goethals for the Black Cross Navigation Company; we paid two hundred and sixty thousand dollars for the ship, and they manoeuvred to take that ship away from us. While I was in prison, the ship was sold for twenty-five thousand dollars by the sheriff. Later the ship was resold for ninety-five thousand dollars. Whom do they think they are fooling?
Constitutional Agitation
Let me say to the Negroes of the world, let us not lose heart, but let us gird on our armor of constitutional agitation and continue to hammer until the fair-minded, honorable and just of the white race hear our cry. Let us look forward to our great convention. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be
GREAT MASS MEETING-HELD IN ST. ANDREW'S HALL
Famous Leader Reviews the Events of His Recent Tour of Europe and Urges Members to Secure a Copy of League of Nations Petition—Discusses Cure for the Race's Ills
(From the Belize Independent, Feb. 20)
Among the passengers arriving by the Canadian Forester from Kingston, Jamaica, on Monday morning, was Mr. Marcus Garvey, accompanied by Miss Hazel Escriidge, his private secretary.
The arrival of Mr. Garvey was looked forward to with great interest, not only by the members of the local division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which he is the President General, but also by a large section of the community, and this is openly demonstrated on Monday when a large gathering assembled at the Customs Wharf at Fort George to accord fitting welcome to the great race leader. Mr. Garvey was met on board the ship by a deputation from the local division of the Association board of Mr. John Arnold's moter boat to convey himself and secretary ashore.
common with others. He referred to the grand and noble civilization which he built up by race for the Nile, for exceeded all others in its day, and with persever-
On arriving at the Customs Wharf, Mr. Garvey was received by the members of the Black Cross Nurses and other members of the Association. After attending to the customs authorities, Mr. Garvey gave the photographer a chance to get pictures of him along the road, and he took them likely. He was then assigned to the members of the division who had formed up on the street in front of the Customs House, where the general public had also concentrated in large numbers. He unobeyed the members of the Association, they broke forth with the strains of the Ephidian Anthem, after which three rousing cheers were given in his behalf. He then departed the building and, Mr. Garvey, accompanied by Miss Escribano and the president of the legal division, left by motor car for his place of abode. The members of the division then returned to their headquarters in Barrack road and dispersed.
GREAT MASS MEETING
Prior to the arrival of Mr. Garvey, announcement was made by placards about town of the big meeting at St. Andrew's Hall, Recent street, on the day of his arrival (18th inst.).
Long before the meeting was scheduled to commence, large crowd assembled. Facing on the street and informed the position until a late hour, when the meeting terminated.
The chair was taken by the Rev. C. Cleghorn, M. L. C., and chairman of Bolton Town Board, who, along with Mr. Garvey and the officers and nurses of the Association and others, occupied the stage.
A special program was arranged for the祭谆 which comprised vocal and theatrical themes, besides an address by Mr. Garvey, which was the great attraction.
While there were some vague seats in the hall, yet the audience was large and showed no little appreciation in the execution of the program.
MR. GARVEV'S ADDRESS
Mr. Garvey, before delivering his task, took the opportunity to inform him of the accomplishment on his recent European tour, which complimented with his visit to Geneva, Switzerland, where he presented a petition to the League of Nations to behold the Negro peoples of the world, praying for better recognition of their rights and privileges in common with all mankind. He stated that the petition was receiving favorable consideration by the people in Europe and that it would be discussed at the next session of the League in September, when he, along with other delegates, hoped to be present. The petition was of vital importance to the race, he said, and urged that a copy be secured by all.
Cure for Heart Disease
Starting his address, Mr. Garvey directed attention to the disadvantages from which the race was suffering and asked his subjects to solve in the matter and work for solution. He showed that much could be done by the rice itself through organization, and by putting such a quality into practice much of the life would be remedied and the race would be in a better position to compel those things which it should possess in

common with others. He referred to the grand and noble civilization which was built up by the race on the banks of the Nile, which far exceeded all others in its day, and, with perseverance and determination, the man who made the race today. Mr. Gurray apoke at great length and he elicited no little applause and laughter from the audience by the open and straightforward manner in which he dealt: with the problems of the race and the methods, which he suggested for solution. Under Mr. G. M. Stuine, director, was in attendance and added much to the success of the meeting.
ROYAL H. WELLER,
FRIEND OF NEGRO,
DIES ON MARCH 1
Represented 21st New York District in Congress for the Last Seven Years—Was a Friend of the U. N. I. A.
Royal H. Weller, United States representative from the 1st District, New York, died on March 1 of Lifetonia and pneumonia in Post-Graduate Hospital, where he had been ill for eleven days. He was 47 years old. He had been in seemingly good health until a fortnight ago, at which time he returned from Washington. Soon after his arrival here he was taken ill. During the last two days he had been unconscious frost of the time.
Mrs. Weller collapsed at her husband's bedside when physician pronounced him dead, and she was adamant that Mr. Weller was admitted to the bar in 1902. Soon after he became deeply interested in politics, adhering to the Democratic Party. In 1911 he became an Assistant District Attorney of New York County, and so served under District Attorney Whitman, Perkiss and Swan. Six years later he re-entered the practice of the law, he and his wife were married to Fox & Weller at 31 Nassau Street. He served as counsel to the Allen Property Custodian during 1918 and 1921.
In 1922 he was elected to Congress, representing the 21st New York District up to the time of his death. Of a kindly and general disposition, Congressman Weller grew yearly in the estimation of the Negroes of his district, many of whom will "sincerely mourn his passing. He lived long enough, he was a man of great intellect and his insistent labor at Washington—the securing of a government appropriation for Howard University in the teeth of Southern opposition.
In the desire of Congressman Weller the Universal Negro Improvement Association has lost a valued friend, one whom it could call on at any time for assistance and who was among the few men of the white race. In public position who did not hesitate to state in the open his regarre for the principles of the organization and his admiration for its leadership. On many occasions he was a leader on the platform of Liberty Hall, New York, which distributed much food for thought to readers of The Negro World the world over.
More than 500 persons attended the funeral services on Friday, March 5 at the Washington Heights Methodist Episcopal Church. Burial was in Woodlawn Cemetery, where the body was lowered into the grave as a firing squad from the 7th Regiment fired a salute and a bugle sounded fags.
Among those at the funeral was a delegation from Congress.
McCoy for Philippines?
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11—Brig. Gen. Frank R. McCoy, a veteran of war in the Philippines, now an aide to camp on the late Major General Wood.
Congress from 1851 to 1854, in office on the floor to appointed Henry L. Gustafson and Governor General of the island now that William J. Donovan had refused the post.
Outstanding developments. In the Mexican revolution on March 5 were as follows:
General Excoban, rebel leader, reported Monterey, third largest city in Mexico, taken after ten hours of fighting, with federal losses "considerable."
Rebels occupied San Blas and Los Mochis, in Simala, extended gain southward along west coast and announced preparations for drive on capital.
Loyal troops massed at Nuevo Laredo for counter attack on Monterey. Juares heard that Chihuahua City had been taken by Vera Cruz were reported to have gone over to the mournenta.
Regiment, garrisoning Orisana, job strong, surrendered to government.
Strategic railway communication between El Kaso, Texas, and Mexico City was cut by insurgents below Jimenez, or Chihuahua. Robels hold 400 miles of road.
The developments of March 4 follow:
Upriskin was reported to have append to ten States, one-third of those in Mexico. There was no fighting.
General Villarreal, Presidential candidate, was reported to have rebelled and seized Monterey, industrial capital of Nuevo Leon, 180 miles from Laredo, Texas.
Insurgents were reported marching against Mexico City from Vera Cruz, 200 miles distant, beyond mount in ranges. Rebels also were repo'r marching against Guadalajara, Jalisco and other Bajo Quebrada, mountainous frontier. Former Juarez military chief, was appointed head of the Sonora rebels, while General Lomas, present commander of the Juarez garrison, announced allegiance to President Portes GIL.
General Topetc, Governor of Sonora, declared religious laws abolished in his territory, and asserted the revolution was intended to end influence of former President Calles, demanding that he leave the country.
Mexico City was reported quiet last night, and dispatches failed to confirm a report from Laredo, Texas, that President Portex Gil had been imprisoned.
American Ambassador Morrow, with his family and Colonel Charles. A Lindbergh, returned to Mexico City from Cuernavaca and reported to Stato Department on situation. He noted that religious troubles and little if anything to do with the revolt, which was believed to be in support of Gilberto Valenzuela's independent candidacy for the Presidency.
Mexican bonds dropped on the New York markets, with many business houses worried about the safety of their investments and enterprises in that country.
HAVANA TO BE CENTRE OF RIGHTS ARBITRATION
HAVANA, March 5. - Havana is destined to be "The Hague of the Western World," according to Dr. James Brown Scott, president of the American Institute of International Rights, federal judicial district, Minneapolis aligned with a three-ordering plans for a Havana palace to house the institute permanently.
With Machado and Dr. Brown Scott when the decree was signed were Dr. Antonio S. de Bustamente, president of the sixth Pan-American Conference, held here last year; Victor Maurita, Peneluian ambassador to Brazil, and Pedro Martínez Fraga, secretary for the directing council of the Institute; and the president of the institution where ordered drafted by engineers of the Public Works Department. It will be located on the waterfront, facing Cabanas Fortress, and at the end of the arida de las Missiones. Although details have not been given, President Machado has specified that it be large enough to accommodate the directing committee, an academy of international law, an inter-American institute for publications of the Institute, and offices of members.
Dr. Carlos Miguel de Cepeda, secretary of Public Works, will be directly in charge of its construction.
The American International Institute was founded in Washington in 1916. Since that time it has acted as legal consultation bureau for the Pan-American Union.

A new law requires that all juveniles in the state be held in juvenile detention facilities for the time they are in custody, and that the population community increases. "They will be more nice and more serious," Judge Charles O. Nott, Jr. of the Court of Appeal District 11 members of the National Extrication Association at its annual meeting Tuesday at the Downtown Association, 60 Pine Street.
He charged that the so-called black-and-tan dance hall, which some white people, he said, think is "smart" to patronize, are the main breeding places of crime.
"There was a time last summer," declared Judge Nott, "when more than 100 prisoners waited in the Tombs. No groes, which is out of proportion to the population of Harlem." Charity among Negroes, he said, is not well developed, but some effort will have to be undertaken among them to improve conditions.
District Attorney Joah H. Banton said that eventually every county in the state would have a probation department like that in New York county. George W. Wickersham, president of the association, said that experience had proved that while to shut a man up in prison for crime, might deter others from breaking, so far the case has not been carried the chances were that by subjecting him to prison influences society had created a habitual offender and had saddled itself with a prisoner for life.
'LILY-WHITE' MOVE TO OUST NEGROES BEING RESISTED
Campaign to Remove Negroes from Positions of Power—Church, Political Leader, Its Counting on Pre-Election Assurances of President
WASHINGTON, March 2.—Embattled Negroes, well organized, have met, the "Lily-White" move attempted within the Republican Party after its capture of four Southern States, for the first time in the November election, and appear to have won.
Leaders, however, will camp on the White House doorstep until the victory is generally recognized. It is a fight to a finish against the victory of Col. Horace A. Mann, who rose in one campaign month from disclaimers by the Republican National Committee to the title of Southern campaign director, to remove Negroes from all political positions of power.
The attempt to draw the color line in victory has incurred much, wrath, particularly in the attempt of "purificationists" to define a party clean-up merely as removing Negroes from power. R伯特 R. Church, mult-millionaire real estate man of Memphis and outstanding leader of his race in American politics, issued a statement to The World today denying that the next President would approve any part of the Lily-White movement. Welcome in Hoover Home Church is in a position to know. He was welcomed in the Hoover home church in Memphis, Col. Mon, facing charges of thinking with the Klan, did not and it admissible to make an appearance there. Church was so well matched with personal assurances from the candidate one week before election that more than a dozen Negro publications turned from Smith to Hoover almost overnight. The Hoover personal assurances were so well matched that he was identified as chiefly responsible for Hoover victory in Tennessee.
Church controls the "Linea Soli," comprising the huge population of his race in seven Middle Western States. He has a beagle to every Republican Convention since 1912. "Mr. Hoover will prove a shocking dilemma," Cressida said to both the small but important, element of colored Republicans who fear that his silence gives consent to their persecutors, and the close-knit band of "famished illies" 'unticee, Democrats' who expect him to put colored people back into slavery. "Mr. Hoover's personality, aided by Ms. Smith's unfortunate usage, broke, broke, broke," the White House pend upon that personality breaking up the present combination of political treason."

WASHINGTON, March 1, 2012 -- Seems to be brewing in Cuba as reports of a dictatorship as absolute as Muscolina's, and as merciless as that of the late Pinio Diaz, of Mexico, are beginning to reach the ears of Congressman. Under the Platt amendment to the President's Cuban independence proclamation, the United States has the duty to intervene in the island for a number of things, notably to maintain a government capable of protecting life, property and individual liberty. Today it is charged by many Cubans that lives and property of those opposing the dictatorship are longer safe, yet they fear to make a move to correct the situation lest the United States intervene. Thus, they say, they are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.
In 1920, on General Enoch Crowder's recommendation, Cuba revised her election laws after the American model. But the revision did not seem to stop there. Frequent changes were made until last year it became legal for executive committees of the various political party conventions, "to assume all the functions of their respective conventions" and name the offices, municipal, provincial and national. Thanks to this arrangement, it is claimed, President Machado is now absolute control of all the party machinery in the country. By the simple expedient of a fair division of the spoils of office among the above-mentioned Executive committees, it is assumed that the ministries, and, therefore, the nominations. Elected in 1925 for a term of four years, he was asked by the three major "parties" of Cuba to be their
OSCAR DE PRIEST GREETED
ON HARLEM APPEARANCE
NEW YORK, March 4—Representative-elect Dept. Oscar De Priest of Chicago, first of his race to be elected 16 Congress from the North and first to sit in a party caucus at Washington in twenty-eight years, received a tumultuous welcome from Harlem Negroes years earlier. He was joined by No. 52 West 132nd street. He was honored guest of the Young People's Lyme and auxiliary of the church. As many Negroes as could crowd into the edifice, representing every phase of community life, were present to greet the visitor. When Mr. De Priest was introduced by Cornelius W. M. McDougall, the audience let lose its chairs. Women waved their handkerchiefs and men whistled. The crowd to be seated," he said. "My certificate has been signed by the Governor and Secretary of State of Illinois."
Negroes in Harlem were advised to learn to stand on their own feet if they want race leadership, as the day had passed when the white man was expected to fight the race's battles. They were told the race was opportune to send a Negro to Congress from the 21st District to succeed Royal H. Weller, who died March 1.
Addernman Fred R. Moore welcomed the visitor on behalf of the city, the Rev. William L. Imes on behalf of the clergy, Mary C. Lewin on behalf of the women, Frederick D. Johnson on behalf of lawyers and Dr. Lucken M. Brown for the physicians. William M. Kelly presided.
U. S. Senate Agrees To Help Abolition Of Trade in Slaves
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Senate Monday in executive session, ratified with a reservation a convention to suppress the slave trade and bring about progressively the complete abolition of slavery in piti its form, at Geneva September 25, 1822, and in a copy was deposited in the archives of the League of Nations. $^1$ The reservation of the United States excepted its adherence to a provision that compulsory or forced labor may only be exacted for public purposes. The contracting parties agreed that in servitude the slave labor of the slave labor for otherduty public-purposes still survives they shall endeavor progressively and as soon as possible to put an end to the practice.
Motion to ratify in the Senate was made by Senator William K. Dorix (Roy, Lahee), the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. After his resignation is executive session the inscription of Honorary was removed. These are 85 members in the advisory convention, including Aykhurat Lekhwai. The committee will work with the President of Liberia by Boran Kwame A. Lekwai, aerman, group extraordinary and adjudicated by the President of the Polish Republic and permanent delegate according to the League of Nations. Khalil is one of the countries that has him.
joint candidate. Naturally, he was elected without opposition. Mustache But Meleson.
The masses, it is reported, are hostile to what is going on but are helpless. Opposition leaders say it is dangerous to talk and later that Cuba has been Chicagoized. That is, to say, those who become too active against them are taken for a ride. Similarly, it is said, the newspapers are muzzled.
Recently there arrived in Washington Alberto Iturraalde, a former minister of war in the Machado cabinet. He said he had just fled from Cuba by airplane. He claimed he had offered to support Machado if Machado would give other candidate a chance to run against him, but refused to support him as the joint candidate of all the parties.
So Iturraalde said, he found himself the object of an expulsion order, with the country or die, but with up boat sailing in the next twenty-four hours.
He left by ship.
Now, out of this background, comes the story that eight Cuban, three of them 'prolific' professional men of Havana, have just been arreed down there on charges of plotting to kill President Machado, 'bring about a state of chaos and so force American intervention.
No Chance to Defeat Him
If this story is true, it would seem to indicate a crisis is approaching in the beautiful island republic. A year ago, when the writer was in Cuba, he had told that the vice president opposed to Machado, he had the situation sewed up so that there was no change to defeat him at the polls. And to see his overthrow by force would probably mean intervention. So the opposition's hands were tied.
CONGRESS VOTES TO HONOR RACE FOR AID TO U.S.
Memorial Building to Be Erected in Washington "As a Tribute to Negroes' Contribution to the Achievements of America"
WASHINGTON, March 2.—By a vote of 248 to 86 the House today passed a joint resolution that gives government sanction to the erection of a memorial building in Washington "as a tribute to the Negro's contribution to the achievements of America."
The resolution, which has passed the Senate and now goes to the President for approval, was sharply attacked by Southern Democrats on the ground that it was a Republican bid for Negro support in elections.
Representative Rankin of Mississippi, who led the fight against the resolution, declared that "hastead of running off on this tangent, Congress will be able to erect a bill to erect a monument in Washington to Thomas Jefferson."
He announced that he would present such a measure to the new Congress. Representatives Taylor of Tennessee and Thatcher of Kentucky, Republicans, supported the resolution, declaring that the Negro had "covered himself with glory in nearly every war in which this government had participated in this and other fields should be memorialized as proposed. Speeches in support of the resolution were also made by Representative Morton D. Hull of Illinois, a Republican, and by Representative Wood of Indians, chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee.
After listening to Mr. Wood's slogy of the Negro, Mr. Rankin applauded: "If that is a fair sample of political discourse, I am impressed that the school children of Gary went on a strike to free themselves from association with Negroes."
Representative Busby of Mississippi described the resolution as "political legislation," and he declared that, he would become convinced that Northern Republicans had a sincere interest if the Negro "when they invited him into their homes to meet, their wives and daughters."
Under the joint resolution the government is to provide a site to cost $200,000 and the building is to cost not less than $200,000.
NEW YORK. Mr.igrle- I-Indie's culture and its desire for freedom and self-rule, as it stands "against the irresistible movement of the Western world," found defense and criticism yesterday at a luncheon sponsored by the Foreign Policy Association at the Hotel Aster. The opinions of speakers culminated in a lively discussion that brought cheers and some expressions of disapproval from the gathering of 1,200 persons.
Mme. Sarolini Nadul, Indian feminist, former president of the National Congress of India, and as such successor to Mahatma Gandhi in defense of the spiritual thought, the mysticism and the traditional customs of Bagh race, presented to the audience a picture of India's struggle for independence, under British control declaring that the National Congress of India had "made affirmation of its own intention" to be free.
She questioned the right of other nations to interfere with her country's desire to follow its own traditions and condemned "the propaganda in headlines" of strife, sectionalism and plots in India, the existence of which she denied. Mime. Naidu resigned, as in former addresses, her duties for the Simon Commission, which includes no Indian representation. Mime. Naidu said there could be no peace in the world until one-fifth of the world's population were not allowed to control their own future and make their own laws. The Rev. C. E. Andrew, resident of Santiniketan, a military and friend of Gandhil, declared that India was well capable of governing herself. He said that the country had for generations revered the moral leader, Gandhil, and gave five points in the latter's program of work in India, as follows:
"Settlement of the terrible religious differences; prohibition of all drinks and drugs from the native soil of India; women's equality with man; removal of untouchability, or establishment of equal rights, for education,学业 and weaving, the last in order that the agricultural class might be employed during perioda of drought."
The motive for the program, he said, was the "soul and moral pulse of Gandhi" and not violence.
Following an address by S. K. Ratliffe, formerly editor of The Statesman at Calcutta and now a Treelige journalist and lecturer, who defended the English policy in India, yet admitted mistakes of the Simon Commission, which the British Government had sent to study the Indian situation with a view to writing a new constitution for India, Nine, Male, Nidau, of her numerous replies, shouted:
"We will not utter exploitation any longer. India is out for self-redeemment."
Rateliece said that India's problem was graver and more difficult than any other political problem in the world. He thought that if the Simon Commission, had been mixed in personnel, mixed results would have been obtained. He argued that Indian desire to learn from ancient ways stands in stark contrast to the modern part of the Western world—the roads are swarming with the cars of Henry Ford." India is insisting, he said, upon accepting Western industrial methods and cannot return to methods used during incent times.
Cent a Pack State Tax On Cigarets Proposed
ALBANY, March 4—A tax of 1 cent per pack on cigarettes, 3 cents per pound—oil cigarette—tobacco, and 10 cents per 50 cigars was proposed by Assemblyman Cuvillier tonight. It would yield, he estimates, more than $60,000,000, thus solving the tax problem over which the Republicans and Democrats would be satisfied. Everybody would be satisfied. Mr. Cuvillier, because the Republicans could wipe out the direct tax, Governor Roswell could reduce the income tax 20 per cent, and no gasoline tax would be needed.
NEW YORK, LIBERTY HALL, Sunday Night, March 3.—The famed forum of Negro liberty was filled to the doors tonight with an eager throng that 'came to hear the message which the Hon. E. B. Knox brought back from Jamaica.
Although somewhat disappointed by reason of the fact that, as Mr. Knox said, there was much that could be said but which it was not politic to divulge at the present time, the vast audience was evidently thrilled as Mr. Knox told of the preparations being made in Jamaica on all sides for the coming International Convention and of the appointment of representatives by the President-General to various European capitals, and to Africa to further the work of the organization.
A feature of the program which preceded the speech-making was a number of recitations by the juveniles, who were all warmly applauded. In addition, the program included the following items: Selection by the band under Prof. U. Hassell; anthem by the choir, Mme M. Dume, director; violin and cornet duet by Capt. Jarvis, the leader of the Motor Corps, "Keep Cool"; recitation by Master George Samuels, entitled "Africa"; recitation by Master Daniel Samuels, entitled "Africa"; song by "The Famous Seven Boys," entitled "Going Back Home to Africa"; recitation by Miss Madeline Knibbs, of the Juvenile Cadet Corps, and a pianoforte selection by

MR8. CAPERS' ADDRESS
Mrs. E. Capers was the first speaker. In the course of a brief address she acquainted the membership to listen to the voice of the leader, Marcus Garvey—the voice of one crying from the wilderness, "Prepare, prepare, for the kingdom of Africa is at hand." It was the duty of Negroes to hold up the hands of Marcus Garvey, for if they did, even governments could not persecute him and stay the progress of the organization which he leads. Marcus Garvey had made good and was deserving of the unfaltering support of Negroes. Let them give this support and all would be well.
MARCUS GARVE SPEAKS
"Mother" Lake, one of the oldest members of the New York Division, then came forward amidst cheers and said it gave her the greatest pleasure to introduce her "son," who would entertain for a few minutes.
The audience then listened in rapt allure to the memorable speech delivered by the Hon. Marcus Garvey on his return from a tour of the West Indies and Central America in 1921, as recorded on the Victoria.
At the conclusion of the playing of the record the African National Anthom was fervently sung.
HON. MME. DE MENA'S ADDRESS
Hon. Mme. M. L. T. De Mena, Assistant International Organizer, next spoke. At the outset of her address she called attention to the silly and thoughtless practice among Negroes of calling each other opprobrious names such as "Nigger," names applied to members of the group by the white man in derogation and derision. She called upon Negroes to do nothing in their daily conduct which could be even remotely construed as lending help to the deprecation campaign which was being conducted by their detractors and oppressors. When "Nigger Heaven" was the title given by a white man to a "best seller," it was time the race took thought.
Co-Operation' and Service
Continuing, Mind. Do Mena said: "We refuse to apologize to those of our race group who are critics and who fail to visualize our future through our ability to make that future, as men, a bright one. The moral, economic, political and social, betterment of the race which we shall put into reality after the convention in Jamaica will ultimately bring us out of the depths of physical and mental slavery, and place us before the world a recognized group, capable through our own achievements along the lines of our own ideals to present a system of reform for ourselves which the white man will not be able to undertake, but will be forced to recognize as a computing basis upon which the world shall function in the matter of world adjustment in the future. We shall not be enslaved, we shall put a halt to the slow system of destruction. Therefore, let our watchword from now on be. Co-operation and unstinted service to the cause which we espouse."
HON. E. B. KNOX'S ADDRESS
HON. E. B. KNOX'S ADDRESS
Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the President-General was the next speaker. He said he was glad to find that the membership had kept the home fires burning during his absence. He brought greetings from Hon. Marcus Garvey and his wonderful, co-workers in Kingston in the Foreign Headquarters. They were making preparations for the great International Convention so that they might be able to entertain the delegates in grand style. They had purchased one of the most beautiful properties in Kingston, out on Slip Road, No. 67, a place that can accommodate thousands of people. He was certain that when many of the members went to that beautiful island of Jamaica and saw the wonderful activities that were going on—activities similar to those in British Honduras and Cuba—they would get a new vision of the Negro question. They were going to have more hope in the solution of the Negro problem along the lines pointed out by the Hon. Marcus Garvey.
Representatives Abroad
The speaker then stirred enthusiasm as he told of various appointments of representatives in European capitals and in Africa that had been made by the President-General, and predicted that the world was in for a manifestation, greater than ever before, of the seriousness of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the earnestness of its leaders and membership.
Addressing himself to the membership throughout America, Mr. Knox said he had promised the Hon. Marcus Garvey that every State of the Union would be well represented: Ships were going to be chartered to take delegates and members from America to Kingston. A great reception awaited them there. The hospitality of the people was proverbial, and he hoped that every division and chapter within his jurisdiction was doing its best in every way to make the Convention the great success it was destined to be.
Golden Gate of Stamboul
Cracking After 1,500 Years
CONSTANTINOPLE.—The famed Golden Gate, Constantinople's greatest historic treasure, sooths doomed to destruction unless capital for repairs can speedily be found.
English experts who have made recent investigations reported that the triumphal arch of the Byzantine emperors, which has stood for more than 1,500 years at the entrance to the City of the Golden Horn, is in a perilous state. Immediate bolstering of the great columns and mighty blocks of marble is needed if posterity is to preserve this jewel of architecture and monument of history.
One slight earthquake, and earthquakes are common in this region, and the Golden Gate will collapse, say the experts. They have approached the Turkish authorities who are sincerely eager to act, but who say that capital is absolutely lacking for the necessary repairs.
NEW YORK, March 2—Representatives of Oriental and Western religions and philomelic thought, at an "East and West" symposium at the Sherry-Netherland Hotel yesterday, pledged their support to the associations known as the Threefold Movement, the Union of East and West, the League of Neighbors and the Fellowship of Faiths in its program to promote world peace and racial, religious and cultural unity.
The movement which is now established in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, London and Dublin, hopes to extend its branches through the program launched yesterday, to Chicago, Washington, Baltimore, Atlanta and Birmingham this spring, and in the summer to further establish its influence in Geneva, Rotterdam, Paris, Berlin and other European cities, according to Charles Frederick Weller, one of the organizers, who presided at the luncheon.
Among the speakers was Dr. Chen Huan-chang, Chinese scholar and Confucian delegate to the World Religious Peace Conference recently held in Geneva, who related the historical background of Confucianism in explaining its relations with China and the world, and he asserted China's internal peace hinged upon the practice of the ancient religion.
"Confucianism is a religion," he said, "that is both practical and spiritual in every requirement of human life. It has enabled China to perpetuate her civilization of over 5,000 years. Whenever Confucianism was generally observed China's national life flourished; whenever Confucianism was neglected, China's national life declined."
He added: "In recent years a few politicians in China who knew little of the West, have advocated the abolition of Confucianism, against the well of the greatest majority of the people. As a result, the minds of the Chinese people became bewildered, and political conditions have been consequently unsettled. In short, China's internal peace depends absolutely on Confucianism.
"Since the Chinese population is one-fourth of the human race, the peace of China will affect international relations immensely. Confucianism is, therefore, an important factor for the promotion and maintenance of world peace, and perfect peace or universalism is the greatest ideal of Confucius."
Buddhism and World Unity.
Another speaker was Tal Hsu, Buddhist priest, said to be the first Chinese Buddhist missionary to work among Christians, in the United States, who spoke of Buddhism as "the tolerant, receptive, universal faith which is essential to the realization of world unity, in itself a great union of broad-spirited people."
Declaring that America was a synthesis of all nations and the beginning of a now race out of all of them, Paul Richard, French philosopher, defined the so-called "100 per cent. American" as the "unification of 100 nations."
Captain E. M. Sellon, representing England, described the atmosphere of the East as "spirituality, while that of the West is material progress." He thought the greatest work to be done by the Threefold Movement would be in "instilling into the West some of the spirit, Oriental philosophy and culture of the East."
General C. M. Oberoutchief, former Governor of Kleft, Russia, said the "very meaning of 'West' and 'East' is a conditional one." Mrs. James S. Cousins and her husband, Dr. Cousins, Irish leaders, the former in women's suffrage movements, also spoke.
Letter Shows Turkey Friend of Amanullah
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 1.—That Turkey's moral support of the cause of Amanullah, who is trying to regain the throne of Afghanistan, is beginning to take active form was indicated in a letter today from Kizim Pasha, chief of a Turkish military mission which was sent to Afghanistan prior to Amanullah's abdication. He wrote that he had arrived at Kandahar from Kabul and that he was continuing to act as military advisor to Amanullah. Turkish newspapers report that President Mustapha Kemal is receiving numerous telegrams from Aslatic countries, all enjoining him to "help Amanullah."

The "Mines of Solomon," celebrated in fiction and native African legends, are the objects of an exploring trip now understaffed by three English girls. There are numerous Kimbwe ruins throughout - Rhindia, consisting of large christian walls with fortified gateways. They are traditionally associated with King Solomon and the Queen of Swords, although archaeologists generally have supposed them to date only from medieval times. While there is no doubt good that the indigenous farmers gold supply from Rhindia, the Queen also moves from uninhabited Djenné. While early British and Portuguese invasions unmasked the coast of Kimbwe they found a unique local organization and a unique local culture.
new store, above a house, by the morning and saw her breaking out in the snow at Salem Avenue and St. Dufferbire Street.
As Patricheen Visier Skilson and Claire Denville pursued the trail of insults of a hostile boy in the snow at the scene of attack the city was reached to the City Hospital, where at 6:45 o'clock an operation was performed to relieve a fractured skull. Physicians said her condition was critical and her resistance was gradually weakening.
Although no one had witnessed the attack, which occurred in the white section, and the girl had not seen her assailant, the police at once concentrated all their energies in finding a Negro victim upon whom they could saddle the blame. So far over twenty Negroes have been arrested "on suspicion."
Party to Tour India To Study Native Life
Because of the inadequate knowledge of Americans concerning "the real India," the India Society of America is planning to take a party of forty students, teachers and writers on a tour of the remote sections of that country, it was announced recently at the India dinner, held at the International House, 500 Riverside Drive. The party will leave next Fall under Harl G. Govil, director of the society.
Unlike most tourists, the group will emulate the natives in their travels. They will wear Hindu costumes, eat Hindu food, and attend Hindu rituals and ceremonials. They will spend much of their time in rural villages and out-of-the-way places and will be guests in native Indian homes. They will travel on bullock carts, camels or elephants.
A nucleus has already been formed. It was announced, among members of the society, and the remainder of the group will be chosen from professional persons "garnestly desking to observe the life and customs of native India."
Pastor Seeks Divorce After Thirty Years
KNOXVILLE, Penn. March 4
(CNS) After thirty years of married life the Rev. J.H. Coleman, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, has filed suit for divorce in domestic relations court from Mrs. Emma Coleman.
Coleman charged that his wife's jealousy interfered with his pastoral work and that several times her fireworks forced him to give up profitable pastorates.
Whipping Post Bill
Favored in Missouri
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 4 (CNS)—The whipping post bill was passed by the House Committee on Criminal Jurisdiction at a meeting last night and will be reported favorably to the House today. The measure was introduced by Representative Putnam of Howell County in an effort to further terrorize the local Negro population, it is charged.
WOMEN PRINCIPAL BUYERS
That women are this country's principal buyers of practically every commodity nearly every one knows. But the overwhelming amount of her purchases is not so generally known. Recent surveys show that women buy eighty-one percent of all groceries, seventy-eight percent of drugs, eighty-two percent of everything purchased in department stores, eighty percent of all jewelry, ninety-eight percent of skirts, seventy-five percent of men's cocks, sixty-three percent of men's neckwear, forty-nine percent of hardware, sixty-seven percent of leather goods, seventy-eight percent of pianos, and more than fifty percent of all automobiles.

Congress Committee also was arrested.
Gunnelid had arrived, here settled in the city of New York. A bagged prison shirt and a camouflage had been carried in the middle of a pit-saup Park, where it was intended to make a bonfire of foreign cloth. A dense crowd surrounding the square heard Dr. Roy announce from the platform that the police had declared bounces in a public place illegal.
Gandhi then abducted to his followers that the policeotion was unjustified and that he would take personal responsibility for the outcome. Bundles of blothe were heaped on the ground and the fire was started when the police arrived. Amid wild excitement on the part of the onlookers they attempted to beat out the flames. Hundreds left the square, but others took part in the rioting, which ended in Gandhi's arrest.
One of Every 79 Deaths In Chicago a Murder
CHICAGO, March 2. — The Health Department, which is interested in finding out why Chicago people die, has found out that murder sent 498 to the cemeteries last year.
The toll of homicide far outranks some of the common diseases and even surpasses influence, statistics show.
The killing rate is 16.1 per 100,000 population. This means that, of every seventy-nine persons who died in Chicago one was killed by violence.
What It Cost
WASHINGTON, March 5.—The nation has just spent many millions of dollars to put a new president in office. Just how much has been spent no one can compute, although the figure is put somewhere between $25,000,000 and $50,000,000. The average cost to a visitor is fixed at $25 a day. Some paid more than $100 for their accommodations and inaugural seats. If 280,000 visitors paid an average of $100 aplece for their three-day visit to Washington, the inaugural expense would be $25,000,000. Officials say this figure is too low. They list the expense of bringing bands, march clubs, and other units for the parade; decorations, erection of reviewing stands and seats for the official ceremonies and many other items.

Bones of Man 50,000 Years Old Found on Mojave Desert
LOS ANGELES. Feb. 24. Petrified remains of a prehistoric man, believed to be 50,000 years old, whose discovery may revolutionize present theories of ancient life on this continent, have been found on the Mojave Desert, less than 125 miles from Los Angeles.
This was admitted today by H. Flagger Cowdon, solventist, under whose direction the discovery was made. It had been kept secret by Cowdon and his men, who worked four years in the desert.
Cowdon's disclosures include almost an entire skeleton, perfectly preserved portions of skulls and bones hardened almost to stone. The most ancient of man heretofore discovered on the Western Hemisphere were about 20,000 years old, scientists say.
The new skeleton, named the "Mojave Man," is said to antigate the famous Cromagnon man of 20,000 odd years ago, whose remains were discovered in France in 1868.
The newly found skeleton, Cowdow says, was a chimpanzee-like man so low in the evolutionary scale that it portrayed marked anthropoid characteristics. He added: "About 50,000 years ago this prehistoric man, who stood over six feet high, walked like a chimpanzee, arms dragging—terrocious—savage, warlike—lived and died. In the semi-tropical splendor of the region now the Mojave

Persian Women Seek Right
To Meet Their Own Flames
TEHERAN, Persia - In the modernisation of Persia, along lines adopted by Kemul Pasha in Turkey and attempted by the deposed King Amanullah in Afghanistan, Persian women make three principal demands. The first, and the most revolutionary of all, is the right to make the acquaintance of a future husband before marriage.
Persian women also demand the right to work outside, their own homes and that the law relating to divorce give women equal rights with men.
