The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XXV. No. 9 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1929 U. N. I. A., Nearing Greatest Convention in History of Race, Poises Confident of Success Kellowmen of the Negro Race, Greeting: It is with great joy of heart that I write to you today. I am made happy because I feel that we are at the turning point toward our making as a race. We are approaching the period of the holding of our Sixth Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world; and, from reports and indications, this is going to be the biggest and greatest of all our racial gatherings. Hour Has Come Everybody seems to realize that the serious hour has come for united action, and everybody is prepared to do his bit toward the realization of our purpose and desire? It is this that makes me glad; it should make every Negro in the world happy, because it is only through such a co-operative spirit that we can march on to the goal of success. We have been hindered and handicapped for years, but gradually the cloud of opposition is breaking and we see nothing less than prosperity under the new leadership we hope to create through our International Convention. The Only Hope The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the only hope for the Negro of our present age. It is the only organization with a serious program for race uplift and complete emancipation. It is our duty, therefore, to fall behind the program with all our strength-moral, financial President-General Points the Way to Great Racial Advancement-Urges Unity of Purpose Headquarters Busy Preparing for Convention-Most Far-Reaching in Results The Black Man Published—First of a Chain of Negro Daily Newspapers to Fight Battles of Our Race and physical—to make the organization what it ought to be. Get Right With Organization I am appealing to all officers and members of divisions, branches and chapters of the Organization to redouble every energy and see that the Organization gains greater momentum as we march on to the period of our convention. Every community should rally anew for new members so as to make the division in the community stronger and more active. Every division should rejuvenate itself with a new spirit of service so that the entire organization may take on that activity that is necessary to carry the program forward. Busy at Headquarters We are tremendously busy at Headquarters preparing the way for the successful year that is before us. We do hope to give to the convention a report worthy of our new effort. We almost feel sure that when the convention rises in August we shall all return to our respective homes buoyed with a new determination and spirit to make Africa free at home and abroad. "The Blackman" Published Before this message is read, "The Daily Blackman" will be off the press, making another link in the chain of the program since the change of our Headquarters. "The Daily Blackman" is to take a stand uncompromisingly to fight for the rights of the Negro. It is the first of the line of daily newspapers to be established by the Organization. That the paper will succeed, we have absolutely no doubt; we feel that it will. Everybody Must Rally Let everybody rally at this time to support the Organization. Let every member pay up his and her assessment tax and dues. Let every Division report regularly to Headquarters so that the machinery can be kept in active motion until we meet at the convention in August, this year. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant, Marvin Ganey President, General, Universal Negro Improvement Association. Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I., March 25, 1929. CONVENTION Backs of the Divisions In Cuba Seal Need for Unselfish Leaders Who Think More of Racial Advancement Than Personal Gains NARROW INSULARITY CHIEF STUMBLING BLOCK All Eyes on Sixth International Convention, to Be Held In Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I. Convention is drawing near; in another few months the whole world, or at least those parts that are interested in the Negro problem for good or evil will be astir and on the alert. I do know, or it is expected, that there are a goodly lot will be going from Cuba to the convention representing divisions with the sole intention of obtaining positions, and are not prepared to explain the real things that affect the divisions in one form or another. For that reason I am going to the four most important things that impede the operations of divisions here. Threatened by Central Eastern Admin. Finally. The divisions that should be most payable and operative are those that are situated in localities where there are central factories, because there are always a goodly amount of the colored English-speaking element to be found; but they are impeded for three reasons: First: It isn't easy to obtain hard or house to rent, purchase or lease, and you have to depend on the good-will of the administration; if not, their caprices, and those who are preflicted against us strangle the operations in one form or another. Secondly: Even when we are favored and facilitated, there is so much wrangling, bitching and immoral actions among us that we fail to get their respect or kind consideration. "Exorbitant Bants" Secondly: Those divisions that are in the towns and cities are compelled to rent houses, where high rents are being charged and the supporting element are compelled through working conditions to go off months at a time where work aptly can be had, and they do not make it their business or duty to send back and pay their financial obligations, and when they return they think it too much to pay and become non-supporting and then the executive is hard put to meet its financial obligations with the parent body or otherwise. So there is always a deficit instead of a surplus. "Altercation with Cwicio and Religious Bodies" Thirdly. Until now these are some Negroes that haven't developed race consciousness. A lot who are members of lodges and the association sacrifice the interest of the association for the sake of the lodges. There are others who are influenced by the so-called religious teachers and upon acceptance, they preach depreciation of "African Nationalism". The income of divisions in towns is chiefly derived from the institutions in a business meeting. It is arranged and decided to have a function in the division on a certain date. Members of both bodies are present. Upon leaving the division the very next night at their lodge meeting they will arrange a function on behalf of the lodge on the same specified date as to curtail the gats receipts of the association. Then there is dishonesty in them. I will cite two cases in question which I know to be true (and I'm not afraid of contradiction): in a parish where once was once a thriving and prosperous division, numerically and financially. In one of its administrations the President offered was one who was a chief of some sort in a lodge, at the same time. In the inception everything went well. He pointed out the necessity of getting a hall of their own. Sacrifices were made by everybody and a piece of property was bought for five hundred dollars ($500), but in his name. Money was being raised to build a house. It happened that a lodge brother of his got in trouble and was arrested. Two hundred dollars was charged for "shall surely." He was asked to stand it. Not having the money himself, he took the title to the money unknown to the people, to a money-lender and an accountary amount. In turn he gave a note of promise to return the money with interest at a specified date. Upon ball the brother absconded; the note fell due and he was unable to pay. The gentleman seted the property and stuck up a "Fox Sale" sign. Then it became known to the people. Nobody, not the division itself, could pay the money, and there it passed to the hands of another for two-fifths its value. The next one became president of another division. His form of stealing was more cunning. He found out necessities and furniture that the division was standing in need of. Of he had two particular commercial houses where he made all his purchases, but for everything he bought for the division he was overcharged, in many instances 50, 75 and 100 per cent, more than the usual price. Then afterwards he made this commission and also split the spoil. I do not want to be dubbed a haier of religion and fraternity, for I've got my own opinions of them, but I've brought these two cases to light to prove my sayings. In all things with the Negro he should let the interest of the Association be with him first, last and always. "Inefficient and incompetent Leaders" Lastly, the setbacks or breakdown of many strong and progressive divisions are due to incompetent and inefficient leadership. The majority of the British West Indians do not appreciate or respect intelligence, and 65 per cent of the Jamaicans will not tolerate a president, no matter how intelligent or constructive he might be, as long as he isn't a Jamaican. Then there's the "preference class". That is a man or woman in a locality who is rated high on the list of people should discover their impropriety and call for a change, they will do one thousand and one things to let the division go on the rocks. A majority of the leaders lack courage, tranness and constructive ideas. They are cowards physically and morally. In many instances they allow the integrity and good standing of the divisions, to be hampered by the lead conduct of subordinate officers, by being afraid to manage the division constitutionally. I know of a particular mission of the Central Factory, though the division was not well managed of the southern states, has assisted greatly in building that division and placed it in proper working order. Lastly, what do we do? There is so much wrangling and scandal going on nowadays that he grew tired of them and will not even grant them goodwill, much less pay them a visit, as in the past. In a single year they had three elections owing to bad administration. If Cuba had proper leadership, all the divisions nearly at this time would be progressive, for many attempts had been made a business and all proved failures through lack of proper administration and business knowledge. I am speaking from general knowledge and experience, for I am not a businessman and know five styles of the land. Among all the officials that came here, excluding, Mr. Garvey, who had suggested or formulated plans and projects, none has done anything in comparison to Lady Davis in 1927, and all that was needed was an initial capital of two thousand dollars ($2,000), all among forty operative divisions a hundred dollars wasn't even raised. In that convention a lot of arguments and big talks came forth; but at its termination what became of 1927? The project was allowed to do a premature death through lack of administration and co-operation. Even the place that was appointed as headquarters became shack that for three months last year the division had to be run by a man who was not well trained and self-aware, the only way that could for about six months, and couldn't get the people to budge. Two particular delegates told me personally that they only attended as it was the request of Lady Davis, but their divisions were not prepared to participate in any cooperative venture collectively, because too much swindling goes on among the divisions in Cuba. But I do know that if the Parent Headquarters can find a way of launching an Agricultural Project here will be one of the best paying transactions, depending upon a manager being found who is honest, original, diplomatic, courageous, constructive and having a thorough knowledge of the language and the culture of the country. If that comes, there will be no need to get for everything grown or raised as the country is not yet self-supporting in regard to foodstuffs and commodities. So here's the whole matter in a museum. Those who labor for the good of humanity are often misrepresented. It is so with organizations as with in- living the good of humanity it is often evenly spoken of. It would be well before all of us would get the facts before speaking adversely of others—Tampa Bulletin. NEW YORK, LIBERTY HALL, Sunday, Nigh, March 31. Another large gathering thurgged Liberty Hall tonight on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, under the auspices of the Garvey Club. There were many officers of the Local and the auxiliaries on the platform, and Mine. M. L. T. De Mena presided. The meeting opened with prayer, followed by a short concert program. As usual, the choir gave a splendid account of themselves, while Miss Ethel Collins delivered a very inspiring address on "Easter." Several others helped to make the evening pleasant and profitable. The speakers seemed to have caught a vision and moved their audiences to cheer. "Today we are thinking of these. Each year we commemorate Easter as the most picturesque day in the historic Christiandom of because of the name Easter, for we were to think of the name alone we would only allow our minds to retrospect over the past, thousands of years ago, and conclude that the day was named after that of a pagan god, and was handed down to us by the Romana. Thus we would derive little or no benefit from just the name Easter, or the matter of the day when we lay aside our winter apparel to bedeke ourselves with the enchanting colors or spring and the glowing rays of sunshine. to to the intelligent mind today we are thinking of a man who came into the world for a specific purpose, and bent all of his humanity and godlike energy toward accomplishing that particular mission. Because of the demonstration of the Nazarene to the world that He was able to do what His predecessors had never done. His enemies sought to destroy Him; and not Him only, but His doctrine, which was deigned to convert the world. Thus we find the first case of deception and jealousy practice, and the second case of to have sent to perdition in the swinkling of an eye all of His enemies: But for the cause which He came to serve He suffered that men might live. The same evils which prompted the motives that led to the resurrection of Christ live today in the hearts of men; and as we look over the life of Murcus Gargery, and the history of the cause which the fosters, the principles of nationalism for the Negro, we can only conclude that the sacrifice of our leader is nothing different from those of every man who comes to an ungrateful world to living—them salve-ment upward journey of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its final culmination shall be achieved only through the courage of the men and women who have dared to suffer and endure, that coming generations may live better than we are living. We shall have to emulate the life of the lowly Nazarene, by being happy to suffer, in order to bring about our final resurrection! We who believe in the program of Africa for the Africans, at home and abroad, feel today that, with all the Publicity, and false propaganda against our cause, right will win; and eventually, her sovereverence we will eventually forward our demand for already we see the walls of prejudice falling, and many are believing, talking and even writing of Africa since Marcus Garvey opened the eyes of the Negro to nationhood and self-reliance. We do not make a god out of Marcus Garvey. No. But we can note the qualities of a genius in the man; and his great achievements are clear to any unprejudiced mind. His messages from time to time are illuminating the path of the Negro; and his night we are thinking, not only of the Negro in the western hemisphere, but of the Negro all over the world as an emancipated race to be reckoned and dealt with in the future. The determination of the Carvary Negro to go forth and conquer is a rare attribute in our group; and we owe much to the Jion. Marens Carvay for having given us the Now Negro with a backbone. We do not underestimate the cause we espouse. It is a spectacular fight and may last for years, for ours is the first of its kind offered to Negroes. Because of our national aspirations we see in the distance a great upheaval in Artem, and among the nations of the world in general; but all we are making in a fair chance to free ourselves, economically, politically. FREE TO ASTHMA SUFFERERS Free Trial of a Method That Anyone Can Use Without Discomfort or Loss of Time We have a method for the control of Asthma, and we want you to try it at our long standing or recent development, whether it is present as occasional or chronic or long standing or recent development, our method. No matter in what climate or pattern, if you are troubled with asthma our method should relieve you promptly. Apparently hospice care, where all for the purpose of hospice care, provides warm, patient smokes, and saline. We want to show everyone at our expanse, our patients, our staff, our breaths, all wheezing and all whose breathing is not normal. We important to agree a single day. Write now and begin the process immediately. Do It today. .....1..... educationally and morally. We deplore the conditions that we are faced with all over the world today and desire to eradicate them to our benefit. We would be less than hypocrites if we gathered here tonight, only celebrating Easter or the Resurrection of Jesus without trying to do something to resurrect ourselves, as other race groups are doing. No. We are not satisfied with our conditions, and today we are thinking of these. While conditions are growing worse and worse, I am appealing for better cooperation on the part of leaders of our group and the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in convention, from August 1st to July 1st, we will be able to present a solid front before the world for a complete emancipation of the Negro, politically, socially and industrially. How bright are thy skies, Oh, Jand far away, How blue are thy tropical, seas; The beauty surrounds them every hand. Today we are thinking of these. We're thinking of charming boiler mingling. Of outstretched we would know Lady and lazie sparkling eyes glisten- As they were in the long, long ago. Through tropical land, verure unending. There where no winter wind blows. We send greetings for Easter unpre- tending. Our love for thes, Heaven blessed, knows. Some day we'll return and restore thy splendor. Feel thy strange, magic hand; Then Easter greetings intended by our Creator. Will be ours, in our own motherhand. ADDRESS OF MISS E. COLLINS Tonight, as we think of the sion Lord, may we not also think of the sion He gave to us. His children, the life that He gave us to make us possessor of the land of Africa, that He himself created through His Father. The work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the last ten years has been trying to let us realize that God created no superior being to us in the world. We are true lords and creatures of our own fate and nature. Let us realize that Easterday fully_realize that there is great need for resurrection among us, a resurrection from the lethargy of the past, a resurrection from the inferior position we now occupy in this world. Let us rise in thought to higher ideals, to loftier purposes, to a truer conception of life. Let us return to the creed of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as laid down for us. - We believe in God, the creator of all things and people; in Jesus Christ, His Son, the spiritual Savior of mankind. We believe in Marcus Garvey, the leader of the Negro peoples of the world, and in the creed enunciated by him through the U. N. L. A.; the redemption of Africa. "We believe in Africa as the Godgiven home of the black man, and in the ultimate re-establishment of a national government by him on that continent. We believe that we who have been for some time called Nigroes are rightfully the children of Ethiopia and that, as such, we shall possess our land, now exploited by aliens. We believe that by those scattered numbers coming together to a spiritual understanding we will create a cohesive force capable of ordering our own racial existence. We believe that this spiritual understanding, evidenced through racial consciousness, racial pride and racial love, will build up an organization whose potentialities will be sufficient to erect great factories, create large businesses, open many offices, commerce and improve conditions in the communities in which we live. We believe that the racial problem is not going to be solved by amalgamation, assimilation or annihilation, by the Negro building a nation of his own, wherein he can develop to his conception and ideals and reach the full fruition of his own ambitions and aspirations. We believe that the leadership of the U. N. I. A. is the most outstanding leadership of the Negro race today. THE ARMY'S FINGERPRINTS The largest collection of fingerprints in the world is found in the office of the Adjutant General of the army in Washington. It has more than 5,000,000 prints recorded, and additions are made in it annually as new maps are submitted. The collection is used not only for military identification purposes but for the allowance of claims for the protection of vegetation and their representatives as well as the government. The system has been used by the War Department for, more than, greatlypoorer and poorer of persons the government may be in. It is analyzed daily in the Adjutant General department. Give Garvey and D.M.L.A. Chance to Carry Out Program Unmolested, Is the City—Amer'i' leans Can Learn from the Frénh, and Leave Race's Destiny in Its Own Hands In the Hon. E. B. Knox address, as seen in The Negro World of 12th January, which came to my notice through the International French paper, T. Depechs Africaine, as explained to the members of the U. N. I. A. at Alberty Hall, New York, that which came under the observation of the said Mr. Knox as appeared in a white newspaper of your city, with regards to the activities of our great leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, which read as follows: That the Hon. Marcus Garvey was getting ready a great scheme to defraud the Negroes of the world. Please tell your master and servant children of your American newspaper press that we in African beg to extend to that identical press, with our best compliments, many, many thanks for such sympathies shown to Negroes. We stand to the new Negroes cannot be sucked in so easily at this age by white men. If we are ever defrauded by Mr. Garvey, it is much better for us to know that we age being defrauded by a Negro brother of ours than by a white man. This sort of scheme was successful in the first instance on the part of the white Americans, by which result they were able to frame up charges against our honorable leader and to defend him. We know that they know that they had simply done evil that good may come out, which resulted in the present benefits we now reap. The so-called American whites had done all they could to undo Mr. Gravy, but without any material benefits to themselves. Can't they learn some lessons from this case and leave the man alone? What interest could such brutal people have for the Negro? Let Marc Garvey and the Negroes alone, and we will better our situation. Let the so-called white Americans learn some good lessons with regards to self respect and love for all men from the French. Let them come to the French colonies and see how the French, treat the Negroes. There exists a Negro newspaper press in France which is based on the same principles as that of The Negro World, only not on such a large scale, being in its youthfulness. The American people would be surprised to know that this black man, newspaper jets, the entire support of the French nation, who have the circulation of that paper, would be approved by the President of France. The white Americans cannot realize how much the bellies himself in the eyes of other nations. A German came to my shop a few days ago and in a political conversation he expressed his wholesale hatred for the white Americans. He said that they were a pound foolish and a penny wise, from the fact that the time they take to interfere with Negro business they would have been paying more strict attention to their "Kellogg peace act." "How can an elephant try to kill an ant" said he "if they do not want the Negroes in American, why not find him the way-to get out to the place where the Negro thinks will suit him best?" The white Americans cannot fool us any longer. We quite realize the situation of the preparations made by our leader and his position. How can Marcus Garvey defraud the Negroes? The contributions that are being made and will be made by Negroes in the direction of the coming convention will not go into Marcus Garvey's hands. His program is entirely complete. No constitution or governmental authorities will find and the slightest room to get in the ring this time. This movement does not interfere, with any. Constitutional rights; it is pure and simply a law-abiding organization (the U. N. I. A.) Tell the white world, especially the American people, that we ask them in the name of God to let the Negroes and Marcus Garvey alone, for I feel sure that if they don't they shall have the finger of God pointed at them. Touch not Mine anointed, do My prophet no nam, sain the Lord, and Mr. Garvey is our Moses. Let him alone. Read, read, Negroes read carefully. Yours obediently.

REMERT According to this present day civilization and, viewing the conditions from every angle, it apparently seems that the greatest law confronting the inhabitants of the world today is the one of "self protection," through which every human being is engaged in an undying effort with the hope of preserving life. The law of self-protection is applicable in many ways and forms: it can be applied universally, nationally, racially and individually. For illustrative purposes pertaining to the matter, universally, racially and individually. There's a cry of self-protection with the inhabitants of national, racial and individual, is echoing and re-echoing the same continuous cry as a means by which they hope to create, establish and maintain certain principles, which they believe will tend to assist them in this, their greatest struggle of preserving this law and which has wrought as its results the interests of nations, races and individuals. Relating to the law of national self-protection and having considered all the basic laws and facts that lead up to nationalism and nationhood, it is known that nationhood has as its basis people, who have either been acquired legally by militaristic achievements, or through the channels of national inheritance, governed under ceginal laws by and for the people, in order to maintain their national law of self-protection. Of course, this national law of self-protection creates national desires national hatreds and national devotions, the results of a racial-and individual self-protection. Having outlined the origin of this great law, a law which must be reasoned on from payehoeological, philosophical, scientific, industrial, financial, educational, political, governmental and commercial basis, it is found herein lies the greatest number of facts relating to the question in which they have become interested; this great known law can be called the law of racial self-protection. Each country is known according to the present civilization as a race or people observing that each and every individual race, white or black, yellow or otherwise, is engaged, or is endowing to engage, in the pursuit of their own interests, utilizing every effort and advantage to better and render greater benefits in this struggle to perfect its own individual rights, alloting the law of self-protection; a thought that should be highly admired and one to which others should joyfully add their prais. There is no logical or honest reason in this wide world which can show weighty a race, or people of a race, should not enjoy the thoughts or actions of their race in an effort to lead to their own self-protection. The question involved in this issue is one that must not be treated lightly; it is a question that should be considered by both races of this great country and the world at large, especially by the big factors; one that confronts annot as an individual people, but as a nation. Being thoroughly acquainted with a certain number of people, and aware of the Negro in this western homeland and the trials and hardships that they have had to undergo and are still undergoing, and burying them as the past, although the avenues have left their memories, we will confine ourselves to the present. They find themselves here in this country called America, the land of opportunity, equal rights for all; many of them were born here, some of them are naturalized; therefore, under such circumstances and conditions there should not be and must not be any rights of the owners of this country, should not be allowed to parade and enjoy some of the rights and protection in this struggle to assist the maintenance of its preservation as a whole or as a race. But instead of being allowed to mix in honestly, and confidentially, to partake of some of the progress of this civilization that they an Negroes have contributed to in some way, manner or form, they are always confronted with the continuous and inharmonious remarks and insults in an effort to prove inferiority and incapability which is only the outcome of hatred and fear, whereas on the other hand, they have been able to offer themselves here from some other European country and rise from obscurity to fame, or from poverty to millions. The summation is obviously one of maintaining white supremacy, regardless of whether he or she be an enemy or what-not. There is an old law that remains true to this day: "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Of course, this law can be applied both ways. Dealing with the civilization which they have been forced to adopt, I notice that their lives and customs have been shaped and formed by it, and also through the forces of circumcisions, which is commonly known as environment. Their immediate environment, individual law of self-protection, hygiene have become tired of bearing our opportunity; they are tired of being cheated out of their rights, even when they are satisfied to the legal law of self-protection. They have also become aware of the options they must consider that they are incapable, unable to be the currently and most suitable of lives. They have misunderstood the law and confused and ignored it. solving the law of self-protection for the benefit of themselves and others, and as a result, some of them have beaten, buffeted, and even sent to kill. Of course, such an act does not dampen the courage of the intellectuals; it only shows how the cands are being played. Listen, folks, the answer to the above question is, "Yes! But you have got to fight for it." You have already begun, and must continue. This world was not made in one day. Keep your eyes open while fighting. Prepare your receivers in the paths that lead to the law, the self-protection machines, with training in machines that govern all the capacities as a means of accomplishing same. Keep on directing your thought forces on the subjects mentioned dealing on the origin of this great law, and you will see that your answer is "Yes!" But, above all, learn to maintain and exercise the law of co-operation, as there can be no success without it. And bear in mind what fought for, will have nothing as its gain. Hon. Marcus Garvey Visits Stann Creek, B. Hon. Kindly give space in your valuable column, the result of the Hon. Marcus Garvey's visit to Stann Creek, British Honduras. During the month of January it was rumored that the Hon. Marcus Garvey would be paying a visit to British Honduras on the 18th of February. Our division then got busy and determined that the Hon. Gentleman must honor our division with a visit, no matter how short. At the end of the day, we resolved that two delegates be appointed to go to Belize to have an interview with him as to his coming to Stann Creek. Bros. Thomas Peters, president, and Alfred Gervie, vice-president, were appointed to go to Belfair to invite His Excellency to come to Stann Creek. On Monday, February 19, the Hon. Mattson Gangway arrived at Belfair. He met the Governor and Belfire Division along with thousands of curiosity seekers, at about 2:30 p.m. The delegates from Stann Creek had the pleasure of speaking to the Honorable Gentleman on the subject and got his consent. They then returned to Stann Creek with the joyful news of his coming on the 25th. The officers and staff of the office gave him a rousing welcome and to receive a proper dwelling for his stay. True to his promise, on Monday afternoon, members and Black Cross Nurses, along with their hanners, were at the plier, swaiting the arrival of the Motorboat "Magpie B," which arrived at 5 o'clock. After the docked our president and secretary was safely landed, the Black Cross Nurses, the Ladies' Industrial Club, and the Girls' Improvement Club, with their respective banners, made arches at intervals, so that our President General might pass under them. The Stann Creek Division of the U. N. A.

The little maids handed in their appreciation of his visit, while hundreds of spectators, along with our members, sang Our National Anthem to the accompaniment of our Stann Creek band. The car then moved off with our president and secretary, along with the officers of the division, to the place appointed for them. In the meantime preparation for his lecture was in full swing, at 8:30 p.m. The Westley schoolrooms, which were kindly given by the Reverend Pryor for the occasion, were brilliantly illuminated. The meeting was called to order by the chaplain. The following comprised the evening's program: Opening hymn, audience; prayer, Mr. H. Williams; Chaplain; introduction of chairman, President T. Peters; selection by orchestra; chairman's remarks, Mr. G. W. Francis; chorus by choir; recitation by Master Albert Peters; solo by Miss Dotty Thompson; recitation by Miss N. Taylor; selection by orchestra; recitation by E. Mejia; chorus by choir; introduction of Hon. Marcus Garye by chairman, address, "Unity" by Hon. Marcus Garvey; chorus by choir; selection by orchestra; vote of thanks, Mr. E. L. Daly; Ethiopian Anthem, audience. God Saves the King. Who Is Your Skinny Friend, Ethel?

McCoyte's Lumberjack's Inn, 81 W. 5th St., New York City March 24, 1928, with enthusiasm running high in the campaign for funds to meet the requirements for the great movement in behalf of Washington. August 2 to 14. "The meeting was opened by the Chaplain, Brother R. Bloch A. A. Sage, from Greenland's Key Molakia"; prayer by the chaplain. The president presided, and the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A. were read by Bro. G. J. Jackson, after which the president led in singing our patriotic song, "If Don't Love Marcus Garvey," which served to increase the spirit of enthusiasm among the members and friends, to take a better hold and to be more determined to reach the goal. The opening remarks by the president were timely, wholesome and masterly, dealing with the racial problem, and organization of the American Negro. Every race-loving person present was brought to his feet when the president reached the climax in his argument, in a plea for racial co-operation, racial integrity, and racial development. The front page of the World was read by the president, giving the vigor of President Garvey on how the Negro must meet organised hate, and how to adjust ourselves for service, which was an argument, forceful and logical in its construction, and was enjoyed by all present, and is the talk of the town. Among the visitors introduced by the president was the Hon. Mr. Elijah Clark and wife, and Mrs. Gertrude Steward.

W. L HENRIETTA, VINTON DAVIS Assistant President-General Flapping its wings in bird-like fashion and with many other unique features, as will be outlined by the inventor, the Clarke Ornithoptical Monopiplane, designed and built by Clement J. Clarke, of Calmden, New Jersey, is destined, according to its inventor, and those who speak with authority, on matters pertaining to aviation, to revolutionize the art of flying. Clement J. Clarke, the inventor of this mystery plane, is a native of the island of Barbados, B. W. I., and a blacksmith by trade. Being a skilled blacksmith, Clarke is familiar with all the mechanical requirements of a machine of this type. The Camden (N. J.) Evening Counter, in its issue of November 21, 1928, says, in part: "Throw away your ideas of baby blimps doing daily dozens from coast to coast. Bury your dreams of new Lindys and Chamberlins hydroplanning from pole to pole. Right here in Camden there's a new type of flying machine that is destined to put all biplanes, seaplanes and Zeppelins in storage. Amst safe? Why, here's the solution to aviation's troubles. It is the Clarke Ornithoptical Monoplane. "Now, that may seem rather mysterious. But got to the inventor, Clement J. Clarke, and the men associated in the Clarke Orthoptical Monopiano Company. "In the company are Clarke who is president, O'Hearn C. Jerome, vice-president; H. Samuel Smith, secretary, and J. Harris, treasurer. All of these officials are students of aviation—from the ground up. "The birds of the air mastered the art of flying as it should be done, and, in the view of Clarke, it is only when men have mastered the science of the same motion that aviation will have its day—in speed, safety and control, etc. The inventor will explain the essential and important features of his monopiano, which is destined to revo lutionize the art of flying and the science of aviation." St. Mark's Hall, Fl West 1233th street, will be the scene of a very interesting meeting on Sunday afternoon, April 7, commencing at 2:30 sharp. There will be a shining array of brilliant speakers on the platform, who will endeavor to rouse the enthusiasm of their hearers to see the necessity of co-operating with and giving every kind of support to a worthy cause. This meeting will be presided over by a well-known craftsman of the artorial art in the person of Mr. J. E. Gadsby, of Panama fame, and a doughty champion of the rights of the fires and awakened Negro. Music for the occasion will be supplied by Prof. H. La Trobe Arnold, who is an authority in his chosen profession. A very interesting, instructive and inspiring evening entertainment is anticipated, and everybody is asked, nay more, is urged to come and bring a friend. Don't fall to be thief! Just New York or Vermont. Is it worth it to spend a day with your friends and tell them how you do it? If you don't want to spend a day with your friends and tell them how you do it, you can go to New York or Vermont, where many of the best restaurants and bars are located.

Since these conditions have been observed in the college and since the study of the differences of national education, the department has made equipment where possible. Government Commission of science in correction, examination and corrective systems has recently been established in the Department of Physical Education. The department had made an analysis of the rated secured in the examination of 2,118 college students, but fell in which it was found that 39 per cent of the men and 48 per cent. of the women showed some form of physical defects. Cases requiring medical treatment were referred to physicians, clinics being established in the gymnasium building. Other cases were classified according to the particular defect and assigned to groups for corrective courses in gymnastics and hygiene. Many of these cases required individual attention of the instructor. Such corrective measures would demand a very much larger deashing staff than at present is available. This difficulty is obviated, however, by the availability of student instructors specializing in the new professional course in physical education. Although it is too early to note any marked results in specific cases, the general benefit derived from these courses is already apparent. Students at the first of the year who showed SECOND APPEAL All divisions and chapters, officers and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are hereby informed that, pending an adjustment of the financial affairs of the Association, those charged with the responsibility of placing The Negro World on the newsstands throughout the world are finding it impossible to meet the weekly obligations of the paper along with other obligations. Divisions of the Association in America are, therefore, urgently requested to solicit donations for The Negro World and forward same to New York Headquarters, 355 Lenox Avenue, immediately so as to insure release of The Negro World from the printers as soon as it is printed. It is to be sincerely hoped that no division or chapter will fail to respond to this appeal in the emergency which has arisen. M. L. T.

Will most of the American Negroes finally settle in cities? Will it be necessary in the future to go to the cities of this country to find the Negroes? At one time it was thought that the future of the Negro was on the farm. With this view, man like Booker T. Washington figured out a kind of education for young Negroes that would be best adapted to life in the country, and many industrial and agricultural schools for colored youth were established on the South. But these men reckoned without # NOTE: All Yourself M o b a m m e d will interpret a n y dream for our read- ing wish a personal reply, send a m p p l e n e v e l o p e to this newspaper. I dreamed that my favorite aunt, who was Margret, came to me in a dream, and I said: "Aunt Margret, why did you leave us?" And she said: "I had to cross the River Jordan for myself." Then I said: "Aunt Margret, are Richard and Mila, which are her children and are dead, are they in heaven?" She said: "No, they are in Paradise." I said: "What do you mean when you say Paradise?" She then said: "Just floating in the air." Then I said in my dream: "When are you going to heaven?" She said: "At the resurrection morning." So I said: "Come on back to us." Then she told me to look down and I saw a narrow stream. She said: "That is the River Jordan and it divides us. You can't come to me and I can't come to you." That time she UNDER his rule there was no more slavery; agriculture and trade flourished and the people grew prosperous. taking into consideration the modern trend of population from the soundy to the city. The increase in the number of factories and the modern tendency to do more farming with machinery and less by hand has offered people greater opportunities in the cities and less on the farms. As a result it was noted after the 1920 census figures were compared that over half the population of the United States lived in cities for the first time in history. According to Dr. H. E. Erdman, pro- ows Power, Expert turned from me. I grabbed to catch her and she went straight up with a dress that looked like smoke or a cloud and was very white. And she said: Good-bye, Lillian; good-bye, Annie; good-bye, Louise; good-bye, Bettle, and good-bye, world." It frightened me so badly that I got on the train and went to my mother and told her. When I told her I had this dream, she became sad and I regretted that I told her. So I am asking you about it. Please explain this dream to me.

"In 1820," says Dr. Erdman, "about 86 per cent of our population kaftfully employed were farmers. In 100 years this had shrunk to 26 per cent." This march to the cities has included a large percentage of Negroes. Not only, have they migrated from the Southern farm to the Northern city, but they have also gone to the Southern city. From 1910 to 1920 over a million Negroes moved from Southern farms to Southern and Northern cities, and since 1920 almost an equal number have deserted the soil. Fqrty years ago, in 1890, only 19 per cent of the Negroes lived in the cities, whereas today almost 40 per cent live in cities. These percentages apply to the entire country. In the South alone, however, the shift in Negro population has been very great. During the period noted above the percentage of city Negroes increased from 15 per cent to over 20 per cent. The Negroes are leaving the farms in much larger numbers, relatively speaking, than the whites. This is accounted for by the fact that in the cities the Negroes congregate together and thus have, a greater chance of achieving wealth, education and property. In many of the larger cities there are colored policemen, firemen and other officials. In short, while for the bulk of Negroes the city is still more unhealthy than the country, it is a more comfortable place for them to live, in, accumulate property and get education for their children. In country districts of the South the schools are very poor, but even in the Southern cities educational facilities are far superior to what they are on the farms. Will this trend cityward continue? Will the American Negroes of 1950 be almost exclusively city dwellers? By 1923 over half of the Negroes will live in cities and fifteen years later there will probably be not-more than ten or fifteen per cent of the black folk N APOLEON, then at the height of his power, wanted colonist, was jealous of Témointe's success and schemed with his ministers to crush him. COLOR. A book of poems by Countee Cullen. 108 pp. Published by Harper & Bros. New York City. "A distinguished artist" he is called, and rightly, by his brilliant contemporary, Carl Van Vechten. One of the youngest of our most widely heralded posts, Countee Cullen is a master of the expression of the race's deepest heartthrobs, in poetry unsurpassed for its rhythm and delicacy. In his latest collection of poems, "Color," it is notable that not only great problems of the colored people claim his attention, but also the everyday affairs that are common to the average person. These, through the medium of his able pen, acquire beauty and romance. Among the poems in this little, volume is to be found, of course, "The Shroud of Color," the keen heart cry of the race embodied in forceful verse. The poem written to John Keats is the height of all that is rhythmical living and working on the farm. Let us take a few representative cities. In 1900 New York City had a Negro population of 60,664, which grew to 91,700 in 1910, to 152,467 in 1920, and is now estimated to be nearly 250,000. Houston, Texas, had 14,608 Negroes in 1900, 23,929 in 1910, 33,960 in 1920, and is now said to contain well over 60,000. While Atlanta had 62,769 in 1920, the latest estimate places the Negro population at well over 75,000. Kansas City, Mo., now boasts of 50,000 Negroes, whereas it had but 30,719 in 1920. Detroit, the automobile center, had but 5,741 Negroes in 1910, but today they number 60,000. Similarly, Chicago's Negroes jumped from 43,000 in 1910 to 165,000 in 1928. Philadelphia has 175,000 black folk now, but in 1915 its Negro population was less than 30,000. New Orleans, with 125,000 Aramiscahs held but 100,000 in 1920, while Jacksonville, Fla., which boasted of having 41,520 Negroes ten years ago, now estimates that nearly 60,000 black folk live there. And most of the galen enumerated above are from the farming areas, because there are generally more deaths than births among city Negroes today, owing to unanticipated housing. This deplorable condition is, rapidly, being improved, however, and as it is improved it is noted that the percentage of new arrivals from the farms increase. The Negro was introduced to this country in 1619 as a farm worker. He remained a farm worker up to forty or fifty years ago. Then the combination of unsatisfactory working and living conditions drove him to the cities.

As the use of machinery in agriculture increases in the South, there will be a decreasing need for farm labor. Naturally the Negro will turn more and more to the city for his salvation. Everything points that, way, and it would not be surprising if by 1860 90 per cent of our people were city dwellers. Henge a new kind of education and an entirely new outlook on life will have to be developed to cope with the new situations with which the black folk will be confronted in the next twenty or thirty years.

La guerra entre Inglaterra y los Estados Unidos no resulta un adepto infeccible "porque lo más dificil es evitar que individuos de sangre inglesa se abstengan de pelear entre sl. Recuerdo perfectamente la reunión celebrada en la Mansion House, para conflemorar el centenario de la paz entre los Estados Unidos y la Gran Bretagna. Por aquel tiempo-Mr. Asquith llevaba la voz cantante; el Arzobispo de Canterburry y el Embajador de Norteamérica hicieron discursos documentes, dijeron cosas extraordianas ensalzando el prodigio de habere cumplido una centuria de paz no interrumpida, sin la menor muestra de hostilidad entre estos dos pueblos consanguineos. La verdad es que cuando más hubo diz minutes durante,los cien años en que los dos pueblos no estuvieron, puede decirse, asísendio con sana al cuello, con las mejor intenciones de extrangular el uno al otro. Ahora tenemos el pacto Kellogg, esa pirámide egipcia de ancha base de ingenuidad, por no repetir francamente de estupidez. Los padres conscriptos del Senado de Norteamérica hicieron todo lo que estuvo a su alcance para conseiguir un voto negativo en la aprobación del tratado. Concedo hasta que el mencionado pacto resulte eficaz para contener. los impulsos belicos de los pueblos antipodas, la raza de demenjantes; pero la panacea resultará ineficacu cuando surja el conflicto anglo-saxoamericano. Y de esto nos convenceremos a la vuelta de nocos-dias. Para olvidar la historia, el sistema más practico y expedito es leer los aconteimientos en las columnas de los diarios. Mañana se dará cuenta el público de los eventos sensacionales. La historia como las medallas y las condecoraciones de guerra, tiene siempre dos fases. El criterio de verdad en este asunto es juzgar el reverso por el anyser de las medallas. Lean lo que dijeron los diarios cuando la propuesta anglo-francesa y luego la cogida que le dieron los norteamericanos cuando Mr. Hearst, descubri el gato, y lo dejó escapar, abriéndole la boa al saco. Eso ya es historia antigua. Ahora, lo que más me commuteve es la "liga realista" de los Estados Unidos de América. Sus miembros después de alquilar un salón de reuniones empezaron por discutir si la monarquía es la forma de gobbernía más a proposito y no la decantada democrática. En mi concepto la bondad del regimen depende de la manera como lo lleven a la práctica. Si en cada estado de la unión se instituyera un rey-y una corte, en una palabra: una dinastia, entonces Dios los libre. No le recomendaria ni siquiera un monarca federal para la Casa Blanca. Pero si siguiendo los pasos del Canada y de la Australasia volvieran a convertirse en dominio, se sorprenderían de la conveniencia de ser una república populosa en vez de ser una república tiranizada por un solo presidente. Si Nortameirica se lazna a la guerra siye nonce, ho haría otra cosa sitio anexirsenos en una forca cosa sido anexirsenos en una forma muy singular. Temo que tal vencimiento induza entonces a Inglaterra a rechazar el hijo prodigo el mundo sabe que Inglaterra siempre gusto de las colonias parque ella ha sido el mastin y las colonias su cola. Al presente el rabo empieza a hacerle peso y para poder sacuridir libremente va a tener que cortarse parte de ese apéndice. Y as mantiene la tradición y esta de acuerdo con su temperamento. Si los Estados Unidos vienen hacia Inglaterra, la combinación sería muy eficaz, sin precedentes, irrecrtibles. Satisfaria plenamente la megalomania de Nortameirica. Mas-que seria de esta pobre jala? Quizás se volvera tan poblada e incomoda como Irlanda! En consecuencia, tendrán que seguir los americanos como el presente, o contenarse de vez en cuando con una visita ocasional del Príncipe de Gales. 11. Under Ground MUSEA TREASURES La atención del cliente Cuba y de Puerto Reco necesita un mensaje radialidad. Y no se puede simulizar que la abilitad de la servidumbre. La atención immediata y simultanea la pidieron los comisionados de Puerto Rico elegidos en tiempos reaccionarios, bajo la administración de Navarra. Los comisionados de Puerto Rico dieron un dictamen que se sirva a honra, a gloria, dietamen que el porvenir colocará junto a la Declaración de los Derecho del Hombre en el 4 de agosto de 1789. Todos eran propietarios, y todos pedían la abolición inmediata y simultanea en organización del trabajo o sin organización. Yo me lamento que después de la revolución de septiembre, ninguno de aquellos varones se haya sentado en estos bancos. Yo no se por que no habran venido aquí todos ellos, cuando tantos titulos temían a la consideración de Puerto Rico y a la consideración de la patria. Vinieron, decla, los comisionados de Puerto Rico y presentan un luminoso informe, en el cual no sabemos que admirar más, si la copia de noticias o la abnegación sublime con que, siendo en su mayoría propietarios de esclavos, demandaban la abolición simultánea, inmediata, con o sin plazo, con indemnización o sin indemnización. Alli recordaban que la esclavitud habia sido la obra del derecho civil, y que su ruina debla provenir del derecho público. Electivamente, asl que el espiritu universal, humano de los estosicos penetro en el derecho antiguo, la esclavitud comenzo a vacilar sobre su base de crimenes. El derecho civil establece las relaciones particulares y el derecho público las universales. No puede el intere privado sobreponerse al derecho humano. Permitidne, señores Diputados, consagras a 'aquellos ilustres, varones un clogio, al cual se asciaría sin excepción en sus elevados sentimientos toda la Camara. Desde la renuncia de los señores feales a sus privilíges en la Contiuyente francesa, no se ha vuelto a ver abnegación tan sueno. el patriciado colonial no ofrece en ninguna parte ese ejemplo ese grande ejemplo. Yo exploro que esos comisionados no sangan venido aqui; yo lo deplorado desde lo más profundo de mi alma. No describirian ellos como un idilio la esclavitud; no darian por gran reforma el vientre libre por un heroismo digno de la apoya la renuncia al futo de ese vietre; no se burlarian ellos de la filantropia singles, que ha consagrado escuidas a la abolición de la trata; y miles se millones, a la abolición de la esclavitud; y no nos pedirian a nosotros que para dar prueba de casidar, fueramos a reemb扎azar a sus siervos y a sufirir sus latigazos en el ingeno, cuando nosotros podemos libertarlos a todos con nuestra palabra y nuestro votos. ABBA: PADRE Habia alli arriba un huerto y un molino de aceite que la daba nombre: Getsemani. En aquel lugar pasaban las noches Jesús y los suyos, ya porque los olores y ruidos de la ciudad les molestasen, acostumbrados al aire libre y quieto de los campos, ya porque temiesen ser presos a traicion en medio de las casas de sus enigmos. Apenas llegados, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: - Sentaos aqui mientras yo voy a orar. Pero tan triste y afanoso estaba, que no supo estar solo. Llamo a los tres que más amaba: Simón Pedro, Santiago y Juan. Y cuanillo estuvieron aparte de los otros, "conmuno a dar señales de tristeza y de angustia." - Mi alma está triste hasta la muerte; permaneced aquí y velad conmigo. Sile contestaron y qué la contestaron, lom lo sabe. Pero no debieron de consolarle con las palabras que proceden del corazón cuando seufre del sufrimiento del amado, porque seue también de ellos y fuese más lejos, solo, a orat. Hincas la rodillas en tierra, se inclina hasta tocar con el rostro en el suelo y ora así. Abba, Padre, toda cosa te es posible. Padre mio, al que posible. pase de mi este cizit. Eat solo, solo, solo en la mano, solo en medio de los hombres, solo ante Dios y panda mostrar sin vergüenza et debilidad. Al cabe, que hombres también, hombres de cuatro y sangre, bintis, que tamparen y se muerven y sus que en tumbas se muerven, que le ve en puesta en la muñeca, de su cuerpo, que se carie en traspiration. por el contrario, las heras doctas y difazunas la esáñ cera, mas para difazunasarlo - una deserte conazafida y a secaría. Sazán vuelve a mezclar y el enmigo. La otra van la prometa grandeza de ternos, victorias, prodigios; queria atrasarlo hacia, al con el cebo del podero. Ahora recurve a lo contrario: confla en su 'debilidad. El Cristo que comenzaba su vida pública encendido en confidado amor, no so doblego. Pero Satanas espera que el Cristo que esta para morir, abandonado de los más queridos, traicionado por el discipulo, buzacado por los enemigos, sera vencido por el miedo, ya que no lo fué por la codicia. Jesús sabe que debe morir; que ha venido para morir, para dar la vida con su nuerte, para confirmar con la muerte la verdad de la mayor vida anuenciada; no ha hecho nada para no morir, ha aceptado voluntariamente morir por los suyos, por todos los hombres, por los que no le conocen, por los que le odian, por los que no han nacido; ha profetizado su muerte a los amigos, les ha dado una prueba de su muerte al darles su cuerpo y su sangre. Como pues, pide al Padre que aleje el caliz de su boca? Ha escrito su palabras en el polvo de la plaza y ha borrado al punto; las ha escrito en el corazón de unos poesos; pero sabe cuan delebles con las palabras esculpidas en los corazones de los hombres. Si su docrina ha de quedar para siempre en la tierra y de modo que no pueda olvidarse nunca, debe escribirla con sangre, porque sólo con sangre de nuestras venas se pueden escribir las verdades sobre las piquinas de la tierra, para que las pisadas de los hombres y las lluvias de los siglos no las decoloren. La cruz es, en cierto modo, conclusión lógica del Sermon de la Montafia. El que atrae el amor es objeto de odio, y no se vence al odio mas que aceptando la condena. El maximo bein, que es el amor, seriagado por los hombres con el máximo mal que tiénen a su disposición el asesinado. Pero todo cuanto sabemos, por fe y revelación, de su divinidad, se hebela-poderosamente contra la idea de que pueda haber sucumbido a la tentación. Si la muerte, conocida de antenano, le hubiese aterrado, no estaba todavía a tiempo de librarse? Sabia, de muchos dias atras, que querían preender, y no le faltaba manera, aun en aquella nocie, de escapar a los perros que estaban preparados para morderle. Bastaba con solo, o con unos cuantos fieles, tomase el camino del Jordan, y atravesando la Perega por caninos a trasmano, se aegiese a la tetraquia de Filipo, donde ya se habia refugiado poco antes para evitar la enemiga de Antipas. La polícia judía era tan eccasa y primitiva, que dificilmente lo habria alcanzado.

WILLIAMS 301 Harper Ave. New York, NY FREE Jeremy Grace New York, NY Faro el al caliz que Jesa quino apurirá al de lo que toma de la muerte, que otra cosa pasa de ser la traición del dispuesto a quím alimento aquella noche en su cuerpo y con sangre? O la proxima negación del otro diselpulo, en cuya fidelidad, después del grito de Cesarea, habla grandes motivos de confiar? O el abandono de todos los demás, que huirán como corderos asustados, cuando el lobo ha arrebatado a la madre? O el dolor de la negación más vasta; del abandono de todo su pueblo, del pueblo, que después de haberlo apludido, ahora lo desprecia, ignorando que la sangre del que vino a salvarlo nunca será lavado de su frente? O tal vez ha entreviesto, en la última occurrida de aquella vigilia, la suerte que iba a corresponder a sus hijos más lejanos en el tiempo, los extravios de muchos cristianos, la divisiones que surgian entre ellos, las deserciones, los tormentos, los estragos, y apenas llegada la hora del triunfo, la debilidad de algunos de los mismos que debieron guiar a las multitudes, los cismas fuestos, los desmebramientos de la iglesia, los delirios de la locura herética, la propagación de las sectas, las confusiones introducidas por lbs falos profetas, las lecouras perniciosas de los amontoadores de abismos, las simonias, y disolution, de algunos que ne lean con sus obras mientras le glorifican con gestos y parabras, las persecuciones de cristianos contra cristianos, el abandono de los tibios y de los orgullos, el dominio de nuevos farieos y de nuevos escribias que torceran y traicionarán; sin enseñanza, la incomprensión de sus palabras cuando caigan en manos de los cavilos, de los sultilizadores, de los visionarios de los contadores de símbos, pesadores de lo inperable, divisores de lo inseparable, destripiran y desmenuzan, con prospopeya doctoral, las cosas vivas en la presión de resucitarlas? El caliz, en suima, no seria el propio mal, sino el que los denas concerterán, los vivos y proximos y los no nacidos y lejanos. No pediría, pues, al Padre la commutación de su muerte, sino que sean libres de los males que les amenazan, ahora y más tarde, los que creen en el. Su tristeza seria de amor y no de miedo. Pero, acaso, nadie sabrá nunca la verdadera significación de las palabras que el Hijo dirige al Padre; en la negra soledad de los Olivos.
