The Negro World

U. N. I. A., Nearing the Greatest World Conference of Race, Calls Upon Negroes Everywhere to Rise Up and Be Men "The work to be done." That is the subject of my address tonight. "God give us men." A time like this demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands. Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; Men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue and damn his treacherous flatteries without winking; Tall men, suncrowned, who live above the fog in public duty and in private thinking. For while the rabble with their time-worn creeds, their large professions and their little deeds mingle in selfish strifes lo Freedom weeps! Wrong rules the land and waiting justice sleeps."—Holland. The Survival of the Fittest If at any time in the history of the Negro race men were needed for service, that time is "Now." The world in which we live is reorganizing and reconstructing itself for the waging of the great battle of the survival of the fittest. The world is engaged in carrying out and fulfilling the Darwinian theory. Thoughtful Races on the Qui Vive And so wherever you cast your eye in civilization you will find the thoughtful of the races on the qui vive. You find the political soldiery of the races at their respective posts of duty. If you turn to Europe you will find the French, the Teuton, the Anglo-Saxon, the Italian—every group organized under their own leadership to advance the cause most dear to their hearts—the cause of human survival. In Italy, a Mussolini sounds the clarion note; in France Briand stands out as the statesman of nationalism and French imperialism admitting of no compromise with friend or foe. In England we have three great leaders representing three great parties—Stanley Baldwin, the Conservative; David Lloyd George, the Liberals, and Ramsey McDonald, the Socialists (or the Laborites). If we leave Europe and turn to Asia we find in China and Japan new leaders rising to make for their country a position safe among the races and among the existing nations Turn again to Continental America and we find that the 110,000,000 in that country, viewing the nation from the competitive point of view, selected a man to be their president whose one object in life, whose one purpose, is to make America the greatest country in the world. The Negro Should Prepare for Titanic Struggle The whole world is organizing for the great struggle of the survival of the fittest. In the animal kingdom, as you know, as time goes on, the stronger animals devour the weaker ones. It is so in the forest. It is so in general human contact as well as in animal contact. The stronger races pushed to the background of our civilization the weaker ones. And so we have come to the point where apparently there is going to be a titanic struggle; a struggle for existence; a struggle for bread; a struggle for power; a struggle for life. And in this struggle all races are endeavoring to present to the world the best, comparatively. It falls, therefore, upon us as Negroes, one of the large groups of humanity, to prepare our group for the struggle of the survival of the fittest. And so as they have men we also need men. We need men who can be men, who can be strong and true; we need honest men. U. N. I. A. Laboring for Africans at Home and Abroad The Universal Negro Improvement Association takes its position in the world competitively, not with France and Italy to fight, not for the survival of Europe, Asia or Continental America, but for the survival of Africans at home and abroad. And so it is my great pleasure tonight to be one of the leaders in the cause Afric, to be one of the leaders to honestly lead 400,000,000 of my race toward the human goal of "the survival of the finest". We have started in the race late, but it is better late than never. The future Strong Minds, Great Hearts, True Faith, and Ready Hands Wherever Negroes Dwell Are Urged to Come Forward and Throw in Their Lot for the Greatest Uplift Movement Since the World Began, Outside of Christianity The Sixth International Convention, Shortly to Be Held at Jamaica, Confers a Signal Honor on the Garden Spot of the Caribbean-To Be Common Meeting Ground for Negroes from Everywhere President-General Sounds a Clarion Call to All Stern Souls and True to Rally to the Cause of a Free and Emancipated Race and an Africa Redeemed The Little Corporal's Service to France Napoleon served the French, but he did not come out of France. He came out of Corsica. Some of the greatest savants served the world, and served humanity, not from the particular place in which they were born, but from the vision of their native ability they gave the best in them, and the world appreciated it. I feel sure that if from among you there springs up a great statesman, the world of your race would be willing and anxious to stretch to you the glad hand of fellowship and to follow. The Type of Men Wanted What we want really are men prime in courage, determined in heart and soul to carry the great cause to victory. What cause? The cause of Africa redeemed; the cause of the emancipated black man the world over; because today, the world over, he is a slave. If he is not a chattel here, he is a mental slave. Therefore there is service to emancipate him; and greater still there is service to emancipate his country and make him a man among men. Some may say the task is great; but all "faint hearts never won fair helm," neither a place in the world, nor the requisite of liberty. It is the stout heart. It is the menly character that when always, and that can cause from any man who stubbornly would need to be a man. "One of the mightiest men ever produced the greatest works on earth." gave it me, for my unconquerable soul." "In the fell clutch of circumstances I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeoning of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed." "Beyond this vale of doubts and fears looms but the terror of the shade. And yet the passing of the years finds, and shall find me unafraid." "It matters not how straight the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." Oh, what a splendid inspiration Henley gives us in his Invictus. How many of us can say that? That is a sentiment that rings through the real man: "I am the captain of my soul." Say that and meet the world courageously, and you will win your battles. Great Men Who Found Themselves It was because Napoleon found out that he was the captain of his soul why he never bowed to defeat. It was because Lincoln saw and knew that he was the captain of his soul that he never bowed to the rebels. It was because Washington found and knew that he was the captain of his soul why he did not fall before the onslaughts of the enemies when he failed in his many campaigns. He knew that behind his failures there would be a glorious victory, and so he persevered, master of his soul, as he was, until he was able to report "victory" for the rebellious forces that said "We shall no longer be subjects of a foreign king." All honor to a man with such a soul, who gave to the world a United States of America, that is the guardian of civilization. That great good that man has done has come from the consciousness of man's soul. Shall Be Masters of Our Fate "I am the master of my fate." Who else can be the master of your fate but yourself? Now, God has made you a free agent. Whatsoever my future is to be is my own creation. As of the individual so of the race. Whatsoever fate awaits the Negro race depends upon the elevation of the Negro race itself. Surely we shall be masters of our fate. Not ignomiously going down to defeat in the struggle of the survival of the fittest, but to be there when the hour comes for man in his final charge to give an account of himself. If the black man hews to the line, the line laid down by the organization, there is obviously no doubt that he will be there when the final charge is made; the charge of one's stewardship, the charge of what good men have done, the charge of the preservation of life that God gave us to lead. The Vision of the U. N. I. A. Saved the Negro It is encouraging that we can appreciate movements of this kind, movements that lead to an object, because in the midst of life we are surrounded by so many distractions, and unfortunately no one but the Negro suffers. The intelligence that has ruled the world for the last 300 years picked him out as a weakling, to dissipate him, to demoralize him to the point where he was practically lost until the vision of the U. N. I. A. came. His vision was not his. The captaincy of his soul was not his. He was not captain of his soul, following in the direction of others that meant him no good. But thank God the hour has come for men, and we are finding them, but slowly. We are finding our Napoleons, our Washingtons, in statesmanship, our Bismarcks in commerce and industry, pointing the way to an industrial empire. Wisdom of Service We are finding our women of service too. Did not the Anglo-Saxon give to the world a beautiful character in the service of care as Florence Nightingale, that gentle angel who went among the soldiers of the Crimea, who went among them and washed their wounds? Some lived because of that gentle touch, and some died happily. The Anglo-Saxon gave to the world later, in the person of Edith Cavell, another who did yeoman service which is today perpetuated in marble, and shall live forever in the minds of men. But as they have given a Florence Nightingale and an Edith Cavell so are we sure that when Africa calls we shall have our black Florence Nightingale, who shall move among the men of our race with a touch as gentle as white Florence Nightingale's, to inspire, to help and to succeed. Yes, if the hour has come, the black race, shall not fail to yield its Edith Cavell, because we are as courageous as others. The Negro Race Decides at Last We have found ourselves, and at last have decided to be masters of our fate, and our fate shall lead nowhere but to Africa's redemption, and an emancipated race. Let us be inspired to go forward courageously men and women, to take our stand among the other races of the world, address is short tonight, because I have much to do. Good night.

Barbar Officers, Members and Friends of the Garvey Club and Universal Negro Improvement Association; It is invited a pleasure to be in Liberty Hall tonight and to compliment the Black Cross Nurses and the Legion Staff on their wonderful hospital demonstration as shown here. Much has been said of the Red Cross Nurses, and we expect much of our Black Cross nurses to have "has been a wonderful thought of The Red Cross," bringing into existence such a unit that will be of great benefit to our race now and always. In the days of Christ It was the design of Herod to kill Jesus Christ. It is now the desire to kill Negroes before they are born. The other race is tired looking at us. These papers that have been handed to us tonight plainly show that the white man is tired of us. Negroes that have been handed to us are tired of the theatre, for white schools, shall only get in return jim-crow schools. They do not want you even in a foot trace. They are tired of us, but they as not as tired of us as we are of them. through the injustices that they mote out daily to us. In the last election the white man learned that they can elect their President without your votes. The hour has struck for the Negro race to take hold on the alms and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its principles laid down by our leader. I do not believe that Jesus was white. Some time ago I was captured and as being identified with the black race. I was Him as a righteous invisible spirit. I see Him coming in a black body. The hatred of the white man is universal. You have not got to go to Mississippi, Alabama or Texas to find that out, but in the northern states it is evident. I believe that the members of this association in New York City and throughout the world have every reason to believe that they have a true leader. Though we have been surrounded by splos, traitors, robbers and thieves who have deceived and impeded our progress, yet in due time we shall reap if we fail not. The time is coming not to make spikes, saying they will die from it. One died with our dollars in their pockets and fighting against the associations. As a true leader, prison walls did not stop Marcus Garvey's activities of redeeming Africa. I am glad tonight that God always chooses those to lead. I believe what the ritual says—"Not by might or by power, but by my spirit, the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but, in valp. This is a God and Garvey movement, to bring men from everywhere." The Allies killed them, but—just a few days ago Germany was called upon to pay her war indemnity, but she has absolutely refused. Black blood has been spit time and again. Lives have been lost; and for what? The leadership of Garvey says: "Let's fight commercially and industrially for the survival of the black man." The reason we are in this position is because we need more men and women among us. Thousands of dollars have been raised for people by silver tongued orators which have never reached the association, and today it has made it hard for a good man who means well, for the people are afraid to trust you. I consider if redemption must come it must come through righteousness among us. We need a new day, we need a new theology, to help to put the program ever. It was my good pleasure in 1920 to visit the court of a country of five hundred thousand square miles. I met a black queen of twenty-five million folklore and eight million soldiers. A kingdom that honors she has never been conquered. If you turn to God in righteousness and Garvey in spirit we shall never be defeated. Is she white man's propaganda to make man of us. It is no credit for a black woman nor is it for a black woman to marry a white man. Stay in your race and make a people of yourselves and be respected by the world. The Chinese woman lives for her man, and so does the Japanese woman and the women of other races. To have a strong race we must cement our forces together and establish our own government. The future of our race depends on the women of today. I place great value on our women. The Queen of WANANDHILA, Friday — The woman died last month after a medical and emergency department at the Witwatersrand University gave a most important and highly technical statement on the question of "color" in humans and pandas when she was called into the witness box in the later hours. Mrs. Christie Neff, an elderly woman, was charged before W. Boulwil with unlawfully possessing a jar of sheer, she being, as the police maintained, a colored woman. From a casual examination of the woman as a European, I am of the opinion that she has colored blood in her veine. Professor Dirt said. "Colored blood," I may say, is merely a figure of speech. What actually occurs is that there is pigmentation in the skin which is associated with "colored blood," which is appealed in color under the skin. It is either directly from the action of the sun, or may be inherited from parental causes. It may even be From both. Degree of Accuracy "It is not difficult to say whether the pigment is due to one cause or the other. Mrs. Naff' is not the redish-brown pigment which appears in the sunburn of a European. She has a tawny appearance. In a European, pigmentation is more separated over a given area — more spots. Sunburn on European pigments in its own character of the color does not alter. "It is possible that some Europeans are darker than Mrs. Naff, but they are not yellow. The proportion of color in a given individual can be determined with a fair degree of accuracy. It is not until one reaches the third or fourth generation that one has difficulty in determining the degree of color in an individual. Mrs. Naff does not fall in the first or second generation, but it is difficult to determine the degree of color. I think that the dilution in her case would go beyond the grandparents. I refer, of course, to the pure African native." The hearing was adjourned — Reuter. 18 GREATEST NEGRO REPUBLIC The Republic of Liberia is evidence of the ability of the Negro to build a permanent social, political and economic organization. Beset with many difficulties and discouragements, this small independent country has managed to weather the storm of severe economic and political turmoil, established by "illegitimated emigrants." They had no capital and they suffered all the privation of poverty-stricken pioneers. The obstacles which usually befell people grown into an immobilized entanglement had to be met, faced and conquered. This was done in a manner that compares favourably with the colonization expedition in Virginia. The pioneer Liberian colonists from the African wild animals, the tropical scourges and the deadening African climate. All of these, while not conquered, were reduced to a point where civilization could begin its upilting influence. Negroes should be proud of Liberals. Zoofinia during her reign gave daily instructions to her women how to care for themselves physically; the outcome of that was that one thousand women proved their value fighting side by side with their men for their country. The Hon. Marcos Carvey has shed more light since the fall of the black man. Don't get ready to die, but live. You do not have to get ready to die. Moses Lippot said that the rod in his hand worked microbes. If we of the black race will use what we have in our hands, success is bound to come to us. THE MOST people depend on Bayer Aspirin to make short work of headaches, but did you know it just as effective in the worse pain from neuralgia or neuritis? Neuromal pain too. Don't suffer when Bayer Aspirin can bring complete comfort without delay, and without heart; it does not affect the heart. In every package of genuine Bayer Aspirin are proven directions with which everyone should be familiar, so they can open much needed suffering. Why a man should be followed with a sitting spituit contained in a hanker body, is not for us to ask. Why the desire to do a planet should be implanted in the breast of a man whose hands are crippled, is a question we cannot answer. But Lois Theodore Uppercase does not stop to judge these questions. He flew to town to see his wife and children in the hospital, spending several years in the hospital, after meeting many difficulties, he is on the threshold of final triumph. How he attained his success is the theme of our story. Crippled From Birth Mr. Upshure was born in New York City. He was a cripple from birth, and all the efforts of the physicians have been of little avail. After years in the hospitals his legs are still his hands are all twisted. When he was fourteen years old Upshure's father died, leaving him as the sole support of his mother. Then followed a long period of struggle against slicking odds, but misfortune could never subdue him. He went to school at night until he was ready to enter college. From high school this man went to Columbia University, City College of New York and the Rand School of Social Science. This in itself is noteworthy, but his ambition to play the piano seemed hopeless. Music teachers were not interested in the exception of Mine Houts. This noted musician encouraged Upshure and taught him how to use his fingers. Dr. Frank Demosch, Professor Ermogy and Dr. Bertrand von Bergy gave him lessons in musical composition and vocal culture. Today the former pupil is now himself an instructor in pianoforte and voice training. But the high light in the career of this remarkable man remains to be told. Upshare, decided that he would go to Europe for further study in music. He would secure the money for such a trip by giving piano lessons in Paris, where he would be seemed as if he were doomed to disappointment. It was impossible to secure rooms for a studio; but Upshare met this difficulty in the same way that he had met others. He became a junior of one of the apartment houses there, thus securing his room rent free. The studio was established and now the trip to Europe is almost realized. This summer Luke Theodore, Upshare, went to Europe with hard struggles and study his beloved music at the home of the old masters. Despite Handicaps One would naturally expect that disjourgence and bitter disappointments would leave their mark on Mr. Upshure. If he were cold and taciturn it would only be the logical result of his experiences. On the contrary, this has not been the case. His soul has not become warped; rather it has mellowed as he gathers deeper insight into the meaning of life. Forgetting the limitations of his body, he has devolved himself to the pleasures of the mind and the spirit. His studio is filled with paintings, prints and sculpture. Off in one corner of the living room stands his plane, the most prized of his possessions. When he plays his entire bedroom becomes lost in the music. With the appreciative touch of the tame artist, he overlooks the lofty, caring them to his moods. Some of Upshure's own compositions are artificial — for example, "The Folly Creation" dedicated to the tools of all ages; some of it continental, as his "Fond Memories" or "Parewell" in memory of his mother, he may even introduce a truggle note with his "Tragedy", but his robust optimism never vanishes. For gloominess strangles of "Safe in Port" very adequately, portray the final triumph of those who struggle. Luke Theodoros Uphure has achieved success and his friends go many Newspapers send their reporters to interview him, famous writers insert their good wishes in his book, Van Ruckendill, the German artist, has done his portrait in enryon, and Arthur Lee, the sculptor, has modeled a bust of him in bronze. A copy of this bronze is to be placed in the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Arts. But he has not lost sight of his 'ambition' the long-washed-fort to Europe is just in the offing. Will not the warm sun of Italy and the friendly atmosphere of France spur him to greater efforts? Fort Valley News Letter at Thesis will conduct the clinic, assisted by Dr. G. N. Woodward of Fort Valley and Ager Bosser, R. N. resident school nurse. This is an opportunity for the students and children of the community to get expert treatment at a nominal fee. Principal A. Hunt is in Loyola, making the response to the mayor as part of the opening exercise of the Georgia State teachers' meeting. E. C. Russoh, director of the High School program, also appears on the program, delivering a lecture on the "Teacher of Reasoning" through the Arithmetic. The school also sent an attractive exhibit, consisting obe model in miniature of the entire school plant, buildings and grounds. The model was constructed in the shop and finished off by the sophomore normal class. A "new twenty-fifth anniversary folder showing the great development of the H. and I. School under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Hunt has just been issued. Ohio Hall, the new boys' dormitory, is expected to be opened on May 22-29 as a part of the celebration of this twenty-fifth anniversary. The friends of the Hunt are all urged to be present. A delegation representing the Sunday School will accompany Father Marshall and Mr. S. C. Usher to Atlanta, Sunday, April 21, to attend the Episcopal Sunday school meeting at St. Paul's E.

HOLD PROTEST MEETING It remained for the local leaders of the Communist Party to take lead in protesting the murder of Henry Clarke, fourteen-year-old Negro boy, by a white boy on Saturday night, April 5. While the churches kept a discreet silence, the local leaders of the Communist Party staged a protest meeting and, roundly denounced the system which breeds such atrocities against the Negro race. The meeting was held on Monday night, April 22, at St. Luke's Hall, 125 West 130th street, under the awnings of the American Negro Labor Congress and the Young Workers' League. Below is a copy of the protest made by the parties at the meeting: The New York district of the Communist party of the U. S. A. protests against the killing of Harry Clarke, the Negro schoolboy; by his white schoolmate for winning a race in an athletic meet after having been warned not to win. This net was a direct result of the vicious system of race and class oppression which rules in this country, which has resulted in the past year in the beating of several Negro workers in the subways of this city by U. S. soldiers, in police brutality against Negroes in Harlem, as well as in many lynching cases in various parts of the country. The bosSES and their government deliberately foster racial divisions and racial prejudice among the workers, in order to divide their ranks, enforcing the bosSES to play one against the other. Their system of education and schools are used to create artificial racial barriers between children of the working class. The capitalist system is responsible for the murder of Harry Clarke. It is responsible for all the lynchings, Jim Crowism, peonage and other forms of discrimination which the Negro race and Negro workers are subjected to. It is responsible for the segregation of Negroes into certain sections of the city, resulting, in addition to concession, higher rents, and the worst abuses of landlordism. It is responsible for denying to Negro workers equal opportunity for work, with equal pay for equal work. The New York district of the Communist Party calls upon all workers, black and white, to protest the killing of-Harry Clarke. It calls upon all workers, black and white, to忍耐 full political, social and racial equality for the Negro race. It calls upon all workers to fight all forms of discrimination against Negro workers, for the right of Negro workers to join and belong to unions. It calls upon all workers to unite in militant working class organisations and to join and support the Communist Party, which fights for the abolition of the capitalist system, with its exploitation of workers and with its oppression of colonial peoples and the Negro race.

Pierre Crabtree, a Louisiana Democrat, Judge of the International Tribunal at Calais, in an article appearing in the current edition of the North American Review, "A White South or Black?" calls upon the best minds of the country to devise some means whereby the "immediate, present and impending catastrophe" of Black domination may be averted. In its "By Way of Introduction" the Review says, Crabtree "writes as a Southerner, a Democrat and a Catholic, with profound concern for the future of his native state in his native land in these days of new political revolution", and that "the heartiest anger of the opium trade is an evident sign of the national and societal Crabtree predicts bloomed in 1932 and subsequent elections unless some immediate and concerted action is taken by the Southern whites. His "places for white primaries in the South as the alternative to Negro rule and a recurrence of disorder and bloodshed" in a 2,000-word article. His opening paragraphs read as follows: "The South has never been beaten to the Democratic party. It has long been wedded to the cause of white supremacy. The Houston Convention refused to recognize these two salient facts. It received its answer on November 6, 1928."—The Denver Star. London Honors Alberta Hunter Colored Artist CHICAGO (ANP)—Alberta Hunter, intriguing "blues" singer, who got her start back in the old days in the Dreamland cabaret and later went to New York, has made a remarkable hit in England and on the Continent, recording to Neil Hunter, American soprano, who is now studying abroad. Miss Hunter is better thought of than any colored American woman artist who has been in Europe since Florence Milla. "Alberta has been on this side for nearly two years," writes Miss Hunter, "and has just closed out here (London) in 'Showbait.' in which she played opposite to Paul Robeson. She made a name for herself in London with left Paris to fill a month's engagement, before sailing for the United States. "There wore any number of offers made to her to stay in London, but she was anxious to get home, and only after refusing the Paris offer three times did she decide to take it even at the fabulous salary offered her. "Socially she is quite the vogue here, and has been highly entertained by Hon. Lady Cook and others of her standing. John Payne gave her a farewell party. His guests consisted of members of the casts of several leading shows, playwrights, movie stars, members of the nobility and so forth, members of the elite and so forth, been so well loved in London than Alberts. She has made and saved lots of money, too." Today Liberia stands as a monument to the achievement of the Negro in the field of colonization. It has now become a thoroughly modernized country, and is still advancing along lines of education, politics and economies. Safety Body Offers $6,500, in Prizes for the Best Articles WASHINGTON, D. C. April 11. With 35,500 offered in prizes, all the elementary school pupils and teachers in the United States, as well as foreign countries, are invited to participate in the eighth annual safety essay and lesson contests sponsored by the Highway Education Board. Definite subjects are assigned in each instance, and the rules, while clear and simple, allow little leeway for varied interpretation in the classroom. The subject of the essays by pupils is 'My Duty as a Junior Citizen to Observe Traffic Rules'. These papers are not to exceed 600 words in length, and the participants are limited to pupils of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades, who are not more than fourteen years of age. In the opinion of the board, this provides for contestants of comparable ability. All elementary school teachers in the eighth and lower grades are eligible to take part in the lesson contest. The lessons are to be not more than 3,000 nor less than 1,000 words in length and are to be written on the subject 'Training Future Citizens in Stout County'. A corollary to the pupils' subject. All essays and all lessons must be in the hands of teachers and principals not later than May 10, the closing date of the content. The papers thereafter will be graded and the awards made as promptly as possible. In the pupils' contest, 442 medals and a like number of cash prizes are offered as State awards. To the first national winner is given a visit to the nation's capital—and a valuable gold watch, while pupils whose papers rank second and third to the national winner will also receive gold watches, appropriately engraved, of slightly less intrinsic value than that given the winner. National wins are the success of elimination from those whose essays have ranked first in their respective States. Awards to teachers, according to the rules, are less numerous but more substantial. For the best lesson, the board offers the visit to Washington, of four or five days' duration, and a check for $600. Second and third national awards in the lesson content are $300 and $200, respectively, making $1,000 in cash awards to teachers.

There is a great among the darker signs of the world, and the Negro peoples of the world are not unaffected by the atmosphere of dissatisfaction with the burdens and handicaps and inequalities which have been heaped upon them. We have borne our burdens long and patiently, but we are nearing the point where another straw laid upon the dromedary's back will snap that spine, and then, what, then? Because of this grim realization and because we are wise enough in this day and generation to know that it is not human to give up that which we have enjoyed for long, even when they have been unlawfully enjoyed, we are calling upon the members of this great race of ours to rise up and be men, to develop manhood qualities, for there are ahead of us, at no distant future, severe and trying times, and we shall have to prove our fitness-to-survive, or be cast to the wall of oblivion. Now in the name of all that is good, and honest, and true, and manly, and noble, are we Negroes willing to be cast upon the scrap heap of time, and our memories to be forgotten by the others of the sons of men? We can hear the voice of Ethiopia's millions as they thunder forth the cry, "By heaven, no! We shall prove ourselves like heroes. We shall never, never die!" And we will fight till judgment dawns, if need be, that our homeland might be free, and the race of humans know the Negro called by God; for our race is marching on. And as we look with prophetic vision down the broad vista of time we can see the marching millions of the sons of Africa, prepared to dive as free men or to die as braves; for our race is marching on. Negroes, awake! Gird your loins, steel your hearts, strengthen your arms and face the glowing skies. The God of Nature smiles down upon you today, rejoicing at your efforts to be free, for only thus can we fillish his divine decree, "Princes shall come out of Egypt and Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God." Rise, brave Negroes, ye who fought the battle of other races, now prepare yourselves to fight your own. Yonder again we can see shades of Tyre and of Cyrenica and of Carthage rise before our mental vision. We see the Alps and beyond them see the plains of Italy. We hear again old Hamilar standing with his son and son-in-law beside the altar. We hear them swear eternal enmity to Rome. And we, their descendants, rise up in this twentieth century and swear eternal enmity to oppression and everything that stands in the path of Negro progress, Negro upliftment, Negro freedom and the redemption of Africa. We see again Hannibal, marching, countermarching, wheeling, circling on the plains on Italy. The blood rises in our veins and we know in our heart of hearts-that some day we shall be marching on the plains of our fatherland; countermarching, wheeling and circling, till every vestige of oppression and injustice to Negroes is purged from this earth and Africa is free.

AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS WE may as well face the issue squarely now, for no matter how much we try to dodge it, it will come back to haunt our dreams in the days to come. After looking at the plight of the Negro the wide world over, sober, sane, calm, clear, dispassionate and judicious thinking brings us to one definite solution, and only one. And that one solution is embodied in the slogan of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as enunciated by Marcus Garvey: "AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS AT HOME AND ABROAD." All other solutions as offered to the race by the various societies and organization which are now in existence, and which claim to be working for the amelioration of the condition of the Negro people in this, as well as in any other land where Negroes dwell, are only makeshifts, and poor makeshifts at that. Look over the columns of the white newspapers coming from the various parts of Africa, where the bulk of the world's population of Negroes dwell, and we find that more and more white governments are scheming and plotting, and planning to get a better straighthold on the land of our fathers; yet the Negroes who live in lands that have always been under white domination are getting less and less of a chance to develop themselves, or to exercise the right of free people. We are hedged in here and there with all kinds of ordinances, written and unwritten. Our services are a necessity; but even the very acquisition of property by one of our group in subdivisions where whites are in the majority is a signal for all kinds of expressions of discomfort, to say the least of it. Court actions follow, and other annoyances, which tend to destroy one's peace of mind. And great educators and philosophers and politicians and philanthropists to the contrary notwithstanding, all these things come to pass, and we have to suffer these annoyances for the simple reason that we have no power behind us that is sufficiently strong to protect our rights, or to demand redress when our rights are trampled on. CURB. NEGRO BIRTH RATE, IS WARNING CRY OF PROFESSOR HOLMES CURB. NEGRO BIRTH RATE, IS WARNING CRY OF PROFESSOR HOLMES In these United States of America president after president has declared his intention to enforce all the laws, especially those laws which guarantee to all men life, limb and the pursuits of happiness. But after the pronouncement the enforcement seems to become a forgotten matter until it is resurrected in the next election campaign. And the presidents are not to blame. At least, not always, because there are subtle forces at work, which even presidents cannot control. Compulsory birth control to modify what he termed the menaces to the white race of increasing Negro population was advocated last night by Professor Samuel J. Hilmes, nationally known authority on eugenics and author of biological texts, speaking at University of California, vol. 1, pages 100-101 of *Theology at the University of California*, made the suggestion during the course of the annual faculty research lecture delivered prior to the university charter day exercises. Consequently, after trying all the various remedies that have been offered for the cure of the jills which affect the Negroes of the world, Negroes have come to the conclusion that the only thing, the only solution which has any hope of success, and which offers a real cure for the burdens and restrictions which have been heaped upon us is the solution embodied in the cry of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, "AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS AT HOME AND ABROAD." And that cry has become the battle cry of millions of liberty-loving Negroes, the wide world over. Asserting the Negro population of the United States is rapidly approaching that of the white, Professor Mohsen declared that contrary to opinions of many recent writers, the Negro population of the United States will present an increasing problem in years to come. With this stern realization ringing in our ears; with the truth of it burned into the innermost recesses of our souls, we stand today at the foot of the Alps viewing them, some with awe-stricken eyes; some with heavy hearts, while others more stalwart and more courageous, are filled with enthusiasm, and we hear the voice of our leader saying, "Fellow Negroes, do not be discouraged, or downcast, or despondent. Let not this great range of mountains (obstacles, doubts and discouragements), with its towering peaks, awe you, cow you or drive the determination from your souls, that "the Negroes must be free" and "Africa must be redecined." "For," says he, "soon there'll be no Alps. We shall have mastered them." Suggesting that, in practice, childbirth be placed on a quota basis, the quick to be determined by racial origin, Professor Holmes warned that only by spieth method can Negroes and whites in this country continue to grow side by side as separate racial entities without complete intermixture. "Ever increasing Negro births in this country will form an added incentive for nation-wide adoption of birth control measures which will limit population of both Negroes and whites under a quota system comparable to that now limiting immigration from foreign countries," said Professor Holmes. Henceforth, let the race of Negroes rise up, wherever on earth they may dwell and come to the aid of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, for it is the only organization which is offering to the Negroes a real solution for the problems which confront him. "Africa must be redeemed." "The Negro must be free." Gird your loins like men and grasping your brother by the hand prepare to aquit yourselves like men. Your faith will be tested and you will have to give proof to the world of men that we are worth our salt. We will have to demonstrate to the dominant races that we Negroes are in earnest and are determined to write our determination upon the consciousness of the men of all creation, and that we shall keep on fighting till the Negro is fully emancipated and Africa is free. It may be that we shall have to drain ourselves of blood and treasure and give up all that life holds dear. It may be that we shall be called upon to make the supreme sacrifice that men can make, before we have reached the goal of a free, enlightened and uplifted race and an Africa redeemed. But how can man die better than facing fearful kills for the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his gods? "It population growth can be brought under a system of wise regulation for a nation as a whole, then whatever procedures are found effective might well be applied to determine the proportionate representation of its component racial elements. In other words, in countries where incarceration birth is subjected to immigrant restitution, it might prove feasible to introduce a quota system." Professor Holmes said he believed diffusion of Negro blood by intermixure with white was taking place much more rapidly than statistics disclose. Any net of statistics tending to show the Negro race is increasing more slowly than the white is rapidly, he insisted. The colored birth rate is higher than the white, be declared. The Negro death rate is rapidly decreasing through sequential arrests, and the negro population is rapidly overwhelting that of the white, he insisted. If in the days of yore Englishmen fought and died that they might keep their tight little ile from foreign invasion; if the Scots could keep fought so nobly at Bapnockburn to protect their ancestral rights and their ancestral rights; if Frenchmen could have been willing to strew their bodies around the defenses at Verlina, that the day might not pass; if American farmers could have exposed themselves to terrible handcraps and foulful suffering, at Hanker Island at Valley Forge, that America might be free, then certainly of this Twentieth Century, descendants of the migrants whose the world has ever known, will certainly be willing to lay their lives. If would be, that the ruins of Negroes may be free and unharmed. Since a fairly short years ago, the foundations of the present day Englishmen would be changed to its lowest depth, and the pillars of their lives were willing to go forth and defending Palting out that primitive people have many other adopted restrictive behaviours so their own population has difficulty in being by-passed by them and more problems associated with the walking way. These ways may be considered to be more appropriate for primitive people if they require separate living spaces and have more restrictive behaviours. PRIZES GIVEN FOR PAPERS ON "THE TENTH MAN" ATLANTA, GA. April 16.—The Commission on Interracial Cooperation today announced the following list of prize winners in the nation-wide high school competition for papers on "America's Tenth Man": First prize, $50, to Ernestine Banks, Langton High School, Hot Springs, Arkansas; second prize, $50, to Walfine C. Wardner, Hobart Senior High School, Hobart, Oklahoma; third prize, $20, to Chaude H. Hills, Kirksville Senior High School, Kirksville, Mo. The competition brought in hundreds of papers from 150 high schools in thirty-two States of the Union. Officials of the Commission express themselves as highly pleased with the result of the project, the purpose of which was to interest high school students in the study of the Negro's part in American history. The plan met with hearty approval and co-operation of the University and teachers of both white and colored schools, and thousands of students were enlisted in the study. Source material was applied by the Commission in the form of a sixteen-page pamphlet entitled "America's Tenth-Man," which ten thousand copies were distributed. The Commission announces that a similar project will probably be conducted next year.

He build trust to President Mordeck W. Johnson and expressed pleasure in the opportunity to work with such a able educator and to help bring his dreams to reality. Dr. Johnson next introduced Mr. French, who urged students to make the most of their opportunities for self-improvement and for services to the country. Mr. Murphy spoke of the present and presenting a great challenge to intelligence, urging students to investigate facts and think for themselves; to avoid dissipation and debauchery. Each speaker was greeted with applause and a college yell, led by Stephen R. Stanford of the senior college class. Prof. Weaver Buried From University Chapel Classes at Howard University were suspended on Wednesday at 2:45 p.m. to permit students and teachers to attend funeral services of Professor Mortimer Weaver In Andrew Rumkin Memorial Chapel. Addresses were delivered by the Rev. D. F. Rivers, minister of the Becan Baptist Church, and President Mordecai W. Johnson, Interment took place at Harmony Cemetery. Dr. Rivers presided and made a brief address on "Death and immortality" President Johnson expressed joy in with the work in laying to the life and work of the deceased. Dr. Johnson spoke of Professor Weaver as a chante, clean-living, self-controlled, scholarly, gentleman, one whose character and achievement will continue to influence the lives of those who knew him. Mr. Weaver had made an unusual record as a scholar, graduating with honors from Dunbar High School, where he won distinction as a chalmer. He later attended Williams College, winning Phil Beta Kappa, and where he was elected to the National Debating Society, Delta-Sigma Rho. At Williams College, in his senior year, he won the prize of prizes which is granted to the student whiche the most prizes during his college career. After receiving his A.B. at Williams he studied at Harvard, University, where he received the Degree of Master of Arts in 1926. He was two years at A. & T College, Greenwich, N. C., and was made Assistant Professor of English at Howard University last fall. Mr. Weaver is survived by his father, Mr. Mortimer Weaver, Sr.; his mother and a younger brother, Robert, who is in his senior year at Harvard University. The death of Mr. Weaver is a distinct loss to Howard University, where he had shown proficiency in his work and was greatly admired, both by his fellow teachers and students. His achievement remains as an inspiration to the Negro youth of the city of Washington. Among those attending the funeral from out of town were President and Mrs. F. D. Butford and Professor George Love of A. & T. College, Greensboro, N. C., where Mr. Weaver taught for two years; his brother, Robert, a senior at Harvard University; and Harry T.

Pennaylvania Club Observes Arbor Day The Pennsylvania Club of Howard University, composed of students from the State of Pennsylvania, observed Arbor Day on Friday, April 19. The service was conducted on the campus incident to the planting of a tree. The address delivered by Dean George W. Cook was historic in that it was from the manuscript of an address delivered by him on a similar occasion in 1881. The tree was accepted on behalf of the University by Dr. G. Sumner, Wormly, member of the Board of Trustees. The tree, planted by the 'club', is an elm and will take the place of one of the historic trees that was blown down in a recent storm. The club consists of thirty-five active members, representing both academic and professional schools, with J. H. Walter Bayless of Sharon Hills, Pa., as president. History makes interesting reading and proves that recent actions are never without precedent. The makers of history are those who consult acts or perform feats that are sometimes classed as either achievements or accomplishments. Writers of history decide the value of these and chronicle them in accordance. As the purveyor of news, this journal takes its place among the mediums, catalogued as current history, and we call your attention to the fact that always existed individuals who watched with keen interest the activities of others and at the psychological moment stepped in and took possession, either by force or chivalry. And imposed upon the innocent and uninformed public as the performer of the fear, these have been called usurpers, and in looking over the politicians of the city, we have discovered that the real politics has long been done by honest, capable and conservative leaders, who have been interesting in accomplishing something beneficial for our racial group, and have been loud to acclaim themselves in their rightful sphere because of their modest ambitions. On the other hand, we picture before us a man living in a ring, unsurprised and quite man disobedient, men and women who are found constantly parading themselves before the voters and in the presence of the candidates as the political bosses who have the black American votes in their pockets, or either in their handbags, as either would "fit the occasion." Since our advent into this community we have fought this nefarious and perilous, practices and condition, and have striven constantly to brighten the masses of our people as to the dangers of the continuations of these people which we use usurpers in their own positions to help the community feel afliction for us as a whole by living the candidates apil directors of campaigns an opportunity to discover the false value of these usurpers. —The Pacific Defender. No individual can help the community to be better when he is living a fast, reckless life himself; you cannot expect your neighbor to live an exemplary life when you are going the same way as you are living the same way as you when it comes successive living as any one, and whenever you allow yourself to believe that you can do as you please, and be immune from public criticism, you are entitled to another guess. Let's make the old town better by setting the example of clean living ourselves—The Oklahoma Eagle. The Negro is more interested in the Fifteenth Amendment than in the fate of any political organization of its leaders. In Mr. Howe's office object to achieve the Fifteenth Amendment or to build up a city white party? Or does he know that through the instrumentality of the fifty white party to lead impugnately or ultimately to the administration of the Constitution? The answer between the existing white political parties appears in effect that although the Negro may be persuaded to vote for children held public office, yet no children held public office may be persuaded to vote for the Negro's political party. states and other government states, also the indictment and laxity toward the same by Congress and for- cessive action by the states of the great government, in the killing penalty difference the establishment of infliction of the citizenship of our country and likewise perquisite many government officials, including the President of the United States, to hold office technically illegal. Therefore be it Further resolved, That we, the officers and members of the, the Toussaint LQouverte League of Illinois, Inc., hereby command the action of Honorable George Holden Tinkham in his support of the sanctity of the Constitution and his appeal for protection of the inilenable rights of the citizens of certain states. We assume the right to speak for the infillions of colored American citizens that are oppressed, disfranchised, dispossessed of every right which the Constitution grants to every citizen, and made the victims of exploitation and abominal persecution, is in their behalf we ask for our deep appreciation that such splendid caliber, ideals and humanitarian interest is obviously imbued within the Honorable George Holden Tinkham to have caused such expedient and necessary message to eminate from his pen; therefore be it Further resolved. That this organization stand ready, whenever and wherever possible, to assist noble characters in the betterment of humanity and to awaken the lives dormant within the breasts of America toward supremacy of the law, greater co-operation and tolerance and with equal opportunities for all humankind in this great struggle for human existence and sustenance. Resolved, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Honorable John A. McCarthy, in the most possible time, that it may convey our sincere gratitude. LEAGUE OF ILLINOIS, INC. 5619 Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL John R. Keller, President. H. I. Loga Nelson, Gen. Sec. by those who profess to Believe in the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment. President Hoover has undertaken a stupendous task, to uphold the Constitution and to build up a competitive political organization in the South. To many, it seems that he has taken hold at the wrong end. If he would enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments the Republican would be able of itself, on the other hand, if he succeeds in building up two rival whiteness's parties, will the Constitution then be observed? This is but a matter of speculation and hope—Norfolk Journal and Guide. Man is fundamentally a brute. When all goes well, he sings of peace. Scratch him, and he is ready to fight—Star of Zion. Progress is the watchword of the hour. It has long been the watchword. But there is progress that is not progress—not real progress. Progress that retains is no progress at all in the race of life—higher life. Getting money and spending it to dehach and degrade, is not progress. Getting education and using it to soilh ends, is not progress. Building a home, homes and great cities void of refinement and decency is progress of the baser sort and will. in the end, work to the destruction of life are given thereto. This has always been the way. This day. The people of the world—almost all nations, are talking much of their progressiveness in art and in science, religion and what not. But the moral status is questionable—really questionable. It is doubtful, very doubtful, if progress is being made along that line. And to progress in all things else and leave that weak link in the chain of life is but to so weak ourselves that we'll fall when the test comes; and come it will. The sanctity of the home life is almost a thing of the past. To keep sacred one's word has also passed away. The golden rule is talked more widely than has set and fixed ways—ways of life that we look for progress and finds it. Our progress must of necessity be toward rather than from God. The whole fabric of the human system of progress is growing—more and more corrupt. Murder is very prevalent. Thievery and banditry were never more in evidence. The agencies for good are badly tainted—corruption is there right in them. This is all the same any of this, progress? Is it?—The Tampa Bulletin. The undefinable unrest of the race during the last quarter of a century converged into the U. N. I. A., whose mouthpiece is "The Negro World." Radiating from this source, The Blackman is the first materialized expression of the forces gathered by the Negro World. This organ has a large group of 6000 group of the human family that seeks to express itself on the strife and conditions of things as they wield in this island. The first issue of The Blackman, the new daily newspaper published in Eugene, Louisiana, in 1857 by a pair of businessmen, Bentley, Bentley and Bentley. They may go good or bad, but they were the Blackman in the business world. And the business point they made would prove more than they expected. The first issue of The Blackman was published in Eugene, Louisiana, in 1857 by a pair of businessmen, Bentley, Bentley and Bentley. Se eee STR ROU Reese A ECPI CCS ra ae ae REE 5 y .

Es de esperarse que centenares de delegados representando los intereses de los cuatrocientos millones de la raza, tomarán parte en dicha magna reunión. Nuestra organización ha venido anunciando por algún tiempo la celebración de dicha convención y es razonable asumir que el elemento de la raza ha prestado su atención al toque de llamada.

En la revisión de los distintos puntos del programa de la convención a discutir, notamos como importante la discusión del futuro religioso del negro. Tal punto lo consideramos de vital importancia, porque opinamos que nuestra raza necesita una verdadera preparación hacia tal fin. Cuando consideramos que hemos aceptado una religión en la cual creemos firmemente, si existe en ella alguna falta de lógica debemos colocarla sobre el tapete y darle la debida consideración en su escritinio. La convención ofrecerá la oportunidad de discutir esta gran cuestión, y toda vez que en ella tomaran parte delegados y representantes de todas las congregaciones religiosas de la raza, vemos claramente que una gran cantidad de luz esclarecerá dicho tema.

Con tal motivo y para poder dar luz a esta cuestión, se ha hecho extensiva la invitación a abogados, doctores y educadores de la raza para que asistan a la convención y expresen su opinión sincera sobre el particular. El gran número de temas en el programa de la convención son todos, de gran interés, y esperamos que los delegados y representantes traten todas las cuestiones con la debida sinceridad, dando ello gran crédito a su organización y a su raza. Notamos en todas partes el entusiasmo y los grandes preparativos, para hacer de la próxima reunión internacional de la raza la más importante de todas. Es incumbente a todo miembro de nuestra organización el sostener la responsabilidad impuesta, en la persecusión del éxito por el bien común.

Esta convención estará verdaderamente representada por la raza en general, toda vez que a ella asistirán delegados de Africa, Australia, Asia, Europa, Sur y Centro America, Estados Unidos, Canada y las Antillas. Depende de nosotros, por consigulente, el causar la mejor impresión ante un mundo que nos observa. Aquellos que por circunstancia alguna no puedan asistir a la convención pueden cooperar a su éxito, mediante su cooperación pecuniaria. Cuando consideramos que la convención ha de ver que sus intoreses estén representados en la Liga de Naciones y que delegados de ella han de entrevistarse con ciertos gobierno de Europa en beneficio de la ravista, vemos que es necesaria la cooperación pecuniaria para llevar a cabo el programa delineado.

Debido a esto "Esnal" permanecía en la casa de la hacienda, cerca de sus amigos, y con este motivo se acostumbro a tratarlos con un tanto de confianza, cuando sus amos estaban enternecidos en contemplar la dotación de los negros que le producian el aumento de sus capital. Pero mas tarde ya "Esnal" de daba cuenta del temperamento de sus schoortas, pues contaba ocho afos de edad, se dirigió a sus amos y les replicó: Mis senoritos, yo veé que el niño Roberto y la niña Mercedes les abrazan, besan y les lían man "mamá" y "papa" a ustedes.

"Esnal" se marchó, tomó su cubo y empezó su, faena ordenada en el corral y contemplaba la familiaridad de vacas y terneros, que le indica que eran hijos y madre, mientras que la negativa de sus amos le despertaba gran interés. Cuando "Esnal" terminaba las labores que les imponian, superiores a sus fuerzas, era utilizado para jugar con los niños de sus amos, hasta ese dia' en que se atrevió hacer la pregunta" si tenia mamá y papa". "Esnal" se disponia a reunirse con los nifos para jugar según tenia ordenado, cuando recibió un latigazo en la cara del nifo Roberto y un poco de agua, un tanto caliente, por la nina Mercedes, quienes les decian al "negrito", que su sitio deber ser unos de los corrales, para que jugara con las reces. Unno años después Roberto y Mercedes fueron a Europa y cursaron sus estudios, y unos años más tarde, regresaban con sus titulos a su antigua "hacienda. A la llegada de los dos señoritos, habia llovido, y a virtud del lodo que se habia formado frente a la entrada de la casa, ordenaron Don Rafael y Dóña Luz, que el negro Esnal, que ya era un hombre, se acostaraoca abajo, y que sirviera de puente para que pasaran los señoritos reciben llegados y no se les mancharan los calzados. "Esnal" el elasivo, penso protestar de esa crueldad, pero temino en ejecutar la orden sin murmurar, y cuando se levanto; su traje de coleta que habia recibido a principio de año, eran un lodazal, y sus lagrimas humedecieron sus mejillas... Era el dolor moral que hacia llorar a "Esnal!" Se dirijó a su choza, después que fue ordenado se retirarse, y se dejo caer sobre su cama de cuje, con los codos apollados en sus rodillas y las mejillas entre las manos. "Esnal" lorba nuevamente con gran agitación nerviosa. La confeccion BIBLIOTECA DE LA NUEVA CULTURA CENTRO DE LAS NUEVAS CULTURAS En veinte y ado distritos del estado Carolina del Norte nuestros elecciones son válidas en sus cuatro provincias de un lugar en que se concentran a y educativos, habilitados para pagar suducir a veinte empleados que laboran hasta tal fin. Esta información ha sido obtenida del Teminte L.A. Oxley, director de la división de trabajo, departamento de caridad del estado Carolina del Norte, quien ha celebrado una series de conferencias sobre el estatístico social y educativo de nuestro elemento. Durante los dos últimos años el elemento de color ha contribuido con más de veinte y cinco mil pesos en las comunidades antes dichas, para llevar a cabo labor progresista. Esto ha desarrollado una nueva actitud entre el elemento blanco, de lo cual ha resultado un mejor entendido interracial y una mejor cooperación. En su ultima conferencia el Teniente Oxley manifestó que representantes de ambas razas se reunían para discutir los problemas de nuestro elemento y delinear planes para su solución. Ello ha creado un nuevo cambio en la disposición del otro elemento, en la época cuando solamente esperaba la presencia del negro en las oficinas públicas con el solo objeto de ser juzgado por algún crimen que hibiera o se dijese habia cometido. En uno de los distritos se recolectaron, mil seiscientos pesos, cuya cantidad fue enviada, con una delegación al jefe del departamento para ser invertida en beneficio de aquella comunidad. La nueva impresión que este estuero ha creado significa al negro como un elemento interesado en el bien de la comunidad en que vive, resultado de ello mayor armionia entre los distintos grupos. Entre los multiples beneficios morales y materiales que el elemento de color ha obtenido un el estado de Carolina del Norte, el Teniente Oxley, mensura la organización de los Boy Scouts, Campfire Girls y un ramal de la American Legion, compensaciones -y transportation libre para los veteranos. El estado conduce un gran número de clínicas gratis, donde los servicios rendidos son por igual para unos y para otros. DE INTERES PARA LOS TURISTAS QUE VAYAN A LA PENINSULA Para servir más eficazmente a los turistas que visitan la Exposición Internacional de Barcelona, los Ferrocarriles Nacionales crean una tarifa especial a precios reducidos que resultará, impuestos comprendidos, con una rebaja del 34.95 por ciento en primera clase; 33.58 en segunda y 40.48 en tercera. Estas reducciones, según informa el señor M. Ventura, delegado de dicho certamen en los Estados Unidos, estarán en efecto hasta el primero de abril de 1930, clasificadas en billetes nacionales y billetes internacionales, cuya validez se extenderá a 15 días en los primeros y 30 los segundos. Para visitar conjuntamente las exposiciones de Sevilla y Barcelona, se conceden 30 días de validez a los billetes, indistintamente. El nuevo reglamento de aduanas en favor de los extranjeros que visitan a Espana ha sido, puesto en vigor cuando llegó, el trasatlántico "Cadiz" conuciendo numerosos turistas. Preguntado lo pasajeros si en su baule llevaban aigo que pagase derechos aduaneros, los carabineros los fueron dejando, pasar sin molestarlos más con trámites engorrosos siempre. Los turistas se mostraron contentisimos y reconocidos al director de aduanas, felicitándole al mismo tiempo que al personal a sus ordenes por su acertada actuación. ESCALANDO LAS NUBES Wisconsin. New Sawyer, Wisconsin, and Wisconsin; investigator for investigators in Wisconsin and Michigan. B. J. Davis, Attn: J. M. Mitchell, Chairman, Executive Committees from St. Louis and confirmed by the Recording Secretary, Henry A. Boyd, of Nashville. The change of date was made on account of several other con- siding gatherings. This change was made necessary because of two other important organizations that most of the newspaper men desire to attend. One was the Fact Finding Conference that is to convene in Durham, N. C., the 17th, 18th and 19th of this month. The other was the special session of Congress in Washington, D.C., on April 15th, at which time Congressman Elect Oscar DePriest of the First Congressional District of Chicago, Illinois, will present himself to be sworn in. Yielding therefore, to the desires of the majority of the press membership, President Davia, Chairman of the Executive Committee, J. E. Mitchell and your humble servant found it expedient to make this change, after conferring with the majority of the Executive Committeemen. the newspaper folks who can go to Milwaukee, and we are, hoping all will attend, will be royally entertained, because Mr. J. Anthony Josey, the editor of the Wisconsin Blade, who will serve as host, is expecting an unusual large attendance. PARA NACIONALIZAR UN PRODUCTO PRINCIPAL La nacionalización de la industria del azucar cubano para darle personalidad nacional y prestigio gubernamental en los mercados extranjeros, ha sido recomendado ante la Cámara de Representantes por el doctor Ramón J. Martinez, economista y abogado. Debemos organizarnos bajo el control del gobernio o perecer, dijo el doctor Martinez. Las diferencias internas entre nuestros productores individuales merman la fuerza de la industria, la cual puede considerarse como un problema social collectivo. Metodos centralistas de operación fueron sugeridos por el doctor Martinez como única salvación del yurque de un mercado a bajo precio. Anadió que la industria es tan importante a la nación que el gobierno está afectado indirectamente con su desenvinimiento, y que el presidente general Machado, en calidad de jefe ejecutivo de un país cuyas bases económicas descansan en los campos de caña, debe considerarse como el agricultor principal de todos aquellos dedicados a los negocios aquacareros. Con la producción de azúcar bajo control nacional, expone el doctor Martinez, podríamos contemplar un futuro de solidez; protección eficiente contra las disminuciones internas y una diplomacia en el extranjero que estimularía nuestros mercados. LA TOMA DE POSESION El presidente de la república de Cuba tomará posesión del segundo mandato presidencial el próximo día veinte de mayo en el interior del nuevo capitolio nacional, para cuya fecha ya estará terminado de construir, en el gran salón de "los pasos perdidos" salón donde se enclavar la maravillosa obra escultorica de la "República" debida al cincel famoso del escultor Zanelli. Dentro del salón serán colocadas más de mil sillas, donde tomaran asiento por estirte invitación los miembros del cuerpo diplomatico, embajadas especiales, functionarios del estado y alta sociedad habanera. Frente al capitolio seran coloca- da diez mil sillas. El presidente jurará frente a la estatua de la re- pública, sefialando hacia ella con su niano derecha en alto en señal de acatamiento al más alto simbolo na- cional.

Now that—the wretches and inflictions of the Negro peoples are to be carried before the League of Nations for an international settlement, the public should be suddenly aroused concerning our sincerity, as to create the proper morale for its success and fulfilment. The success of any public issue depends very largely upon a thorough conception and knowledge of its nature, by those who are to be supporters of it. The seriousness of the Negro "problem" is becoming unmistakably evident to all thinking white people, particularly those of the United States. And in order that a sense and practical attitude might be maintained by those seeking its solution, it behooves those of us who champion the program of Negro nationalism—to jet our voices be heard. No two people have their interest more closely interwoven than the black and white races in America, and it is imperatively necessary that our plans and intentions be correctly interpreted. The United States of America, no more than any other nation, cannot afford to accommodate "two heads," i.e. one white, and the other black. One or the other must dominate or retain the controlling position, and experience has taught us that the white majority has no intention of sacrificing that cherished position of the Negro, and the one called "constitutional rights" of the Negro, the sentiment and interests of the people must be regarded and recognized. Constitutionality, some of our Negro critics are within their "rights," but to and about, their knowledge of political science and racial homogeneity is faulty. So, brothers, let us adopt the policy of equity and compromise—by yielding an "unappreciated patriotism" here, to gain a larger and more satisfying patriotism of our own making on the continent of our forefathers. Africa, for example, has the status of inter-racial equality (Abraham Lincoln, himself, declared such a situation to be a physical impossibility). We will gain more respect, from our friends of the white racef and our enemies, too—if we seek something of our own, instead of begging and "demanding," something that they have positively refused to share with us, we will have attitudes pertaining to this subject, and have something more acceptable and practical to propose. Many times have interested white listeners-rehuted: "Why; we did not know that you people wanted a government of your own." And again, "Would you leave it permitted or assisted?" Which in proof evidence that our program is greatly in need of a vigorous and more extensive prosecution. The Sixth, International Convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to be held in Jamalah, B. W. I, cannot do it all. There must be continual agitation in the ranks to sustain the demands of the delegates and official representatives. Every public forum, school, or church of either race should be sought by U. N. L. A. members to expound their pro- R A Y O W R O R V W Ancient Pantagore Talmase juditor of the Negro World. They should not put it right if it affords the freedom of the U. N. L. A. to conquer it; for hence D. Davis for his most invasible actio which appeared in the Negro World of April 5 under the caption, "The Setbacks of the I. N. L. A. Dialysons in Cuba." I am sure that there are very many more members of the organization in Cube of the various divisions who can furnish concrete evidence of the injustice by Mr. Davis, providing that they are broadminded enough to speak the truth. What sublime divisions we would have had in Cuba if there could have been found the very least half a dozen men like Mr. Davis in each of the divisions here? Mr. Davis, I congratulate you, sir. Your article is like the shell from a long range gun which has done a great deal of good work only that you know. I mean, you know that you are one of the men who know, and know that you know. Therefore, there is nothing to fear, if these in your environment want a wise man to follow. The big boss says that we should pray to God to send them to hell, but if appears to see as if they do not need much prayers for that, owing to the fact that I can see those that I know going down there fast enough. The only thing that makes feel bad over it is that they are so crooked that the devil may not want them there with him. E. Z. ISLAND. Moron, Cuba. To the Editor of the Negro World: Please grant me space. Negroes who are awake, take notice. Up to now many of our brothers in race believed that there are gardens of love within the other races for us, "as an African descent." There are none. All who love the poor Negro, love him for his sweat, or for what he has, or what he can do. There is no climbing to happiness upon the ladder of progress within the other races and nations for we Negroes. The only ladder they have in store for us all, people is that sinful ladder of degradation, and wrogs laid on us by those who come out or have made up the majority groups; and still up to this time many of us Negroes; still seeing the many years we were governed by the other fellow and he did not kill us all, what is Marcus Garvey worrying himself for. We should have seen and learned enough so as to reunite, and be in readiness to meet that great future that is awaiting us. We have our incomparable leader, who was born forty-one years ago, and opened that grand institute in the fields of the world, ten years ago, knw if as the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which is the greatest searchlight the world has ever seen, and through the Negro World, the voices of our teachers can be heard, which only needs us to walk on the financial street in the racial city: Many say we have as much right under the shades of others to that of founding our own. In the war (1914 to 1918) many of our Negro brothers were killed and we must protect the shades of others.

Dear Sir: It is time now for the Negro institution, organisations, churches, societies, and lodges; the world over to rejoice and glorify God, the merciful Father, who gave us His only beloved servant, Hon. Marcus Garvey, to give us a true religion based upon a true Christianity, which teaches the Negro the Fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man. Yes, a true Christianity of brotherly love among all men: a true Christianity that shall bring forth peace among the mankind. Formerly those who went to Africa with the Christian religion were but wolves in sheeps' skins. Their religion is to kill, oppress and rob, and fool us by telling us about white heaven and white angels. And the devil is painted as a Negro, with one horn and a tail, Oh, what a shame! Mr. White Man, we have been listening to you and watching you with your religion, which, through ignorance, we tolerated. When you said, "Let us pray," we closed our eyes; then you stole our money; while you told us to look to heaven, you stole our lands. Now we have come to the truth—that the world in the nuncse skin, "For God so loved the Negro that he gave his only beloved servant that whoseover belfellow in Him shall not perish, but shall have everlasting liberty." And whosoever do not believe shall be an everlasting slave. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is true religion, practical Christianity. JOEPHE D. CHIPHE, Native Born African. Nassau: Bahamas, B. W. L. By H. T. BROWN What of the Negro, watchman ho? Has he a chance to win? What of the Negro, watchman ho? Has he courage to begin? And tell me, watchman, tell me true; Can Africa be free? And will he build a nation new, And find prosperity? And tell me watchman, yet again, Does God regard his cry? And did his groans, his prayers o'er gain Acknowledgment from on high? Oh Angio-Saxon, Latin, Belde, He has a chance to win; For he, unminful of your rage, Has courage to begin. And yet again, I say white man, That Africa, shall be free; And he will rear a great nation. With heaven's security. The Negro knows that blood must flow, He shall reach his goal; But no dangers mortal ever knew, Can dawn the Negro's soul. And let me tell you yet again. God does regard his cry; His groins, his prayers, and his pain, Aro heard by God on high. And let me say to you, white man. That God himself hath said: "Ethiopia's rise is in His plan." And he who runs may read. So cast your fury; hide your corm; The Negro sees "Victory." Invincible in his noun reborn. And "Africa shall be free."

D WHEN DEPL CYRENICA (Tripoli) Ancient Cyrenaica, now called Tripoli, or Italian North Africa, is as expected, according to rumors, seething with discontent. So acute is the situation that the Italian Government was forced to send armed bands of Roman brigade against the disentending natives, who have taken up arms against the tyranny of Roman miasto. It is expected that the tribesman of the hinterland will rally to the revolutionary standards, and die, yes, gloriously die—in' the righteous cause of ridding Cyrenaica from the spoliation of alien muraders. "For, how can men die better than facing fearful odds for the ashes of their fathers and the temples of their gods?" Hear; africans, hear! Let the band play, "on with the dance!" That rich, and yet unhappy country is again swept in the names of revolution; a revolution which at this time is most regrettable. That civil stifle which now engulfs that unhappy land can trace its source to those unscrupulous ambitionists who would satisfy their whims at the expense of Mexico's sovereignty, and the destruction of the best government that Mexico City has ever kown. It is sincerely hoped that the beneficient protector of nationalistic Mexico, General Ellas Fluttecho-Calles, will emerge from the conflict viciously and that the present government' at Dept: T-2352, 4212 Milwaukee Ave., Chicago YOU U YOU A If this does not cure you, nothing will Quarantee you.
