The Negro World

U.N.I.A.Making Great Preparations For Sixth International Convention Expectant of Great Results FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: We are now drawing nearer to our long expected Convention period. The whole world of Negroes are naturally turning their eyes and minds toward the great event in Jamaica, B. W. I. an event that will long live in our lives, because it will be filled with interesting consequences, as affecting us as a people. We want to write a new history through our activities at this Convention. It is well, therefore, that we prepare to so acquit ourselves, as to leave no blot on our transactions. A Critical Point World survey will reveal that, as a race, we are at a critical point of our existence. In America, the growth of unemployment among our people is most alarming-not more so, however, than we should have expected as we prophesied years and years ago, that in the United States returning to her normal economic position, it would be the determination of the great industrialists along with the politicians of the country to so throw off the Negro in labour as to contribute to his slow but gradual elimination from the Body Politic. We not so very long ago prophesied that even in Chicago the politicians and economists would make new efforts to re-organize the labor forces in this great city so as to make it impossible for the Negro to again elect a Congressman as was done in the recent election. The white American is determined to make America a white man's country, and while the fifteen millions of Negroes in America are sleeping on their future, the white man is ever on the alert to arrange and re-arrange conditions to lead to the one objective, to eliminate the Negro in the national life of the country. What is true of the Negro in America, is true World Survey Reveals A Critical Point In Existence Of Race- Manhood Qualities Must Come. To the Fore-Race Must Begin at Once to Build Its Own Economic and Political Future Negroes From Everywhere Will Center Their Attention Upon Jamaica, B. W. I., During the Next Five Months-To Be Central Point in Negro Minds During Convention Get in Line, Warns President-General; for Freedom From Oppression, and the Redemption of Africa of him in other parts of the world where there is a special effort being made to reduce him to his hereditary position as peon, serf and slave. It is, therefore, for us to be on guard and that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been so useful. In its many years of advocacy, the Association has helped many Negroes to a real solid economic foundation for themselves instead of relying upon the white man. But the few who have become independent will not save the race, hence it is necessary that a general wholesale effort be made to save the situation. It is such an effort that is to be made out of the Sixth Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world to be held at Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I., from the first to the thirty-first of August. A Colossal Program With such a colossal program it suggests how necessary it is for each and every community where Negroes live in the world, to send delegates to attend this, our forthcoming Convention; so that all of us may get together, and by proper discussion and legislation bring about a better state of affairs. There will be no excuse for any substantial group of the race not to be represented; and so we shall look forward to the holding of the great conclave, the result of which will mean much to the future of the race. Be Financial Again, we want to remind all divisions, chapters, branches and members of the Universal Improvement Association that it is imperatively necessary that each and every one of them become financial with the Parent Body. The annual assessment tax is still to be paid by a large number of members. No division will be regarded as financial to any official standing at the Convention that is not in good financial standing with the Parent Body at least six months prior to the Convention. It is, therefore, the duty of all of us to do our best so that the coming Convention will be a great success. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant, President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Assn. "Edelweis Park," St. Andrew, Jamaica, B. W. I., April 15, 1929.

In spite of the most indictment weather, there were to be seet the faithful and eager members when the Sunday was meeting held under the auspices of the Carvey Club was called to order. Mr. Rufus Pettit, our Vice-President, occupied the chair, while other officers assisted in making the evening's program a success. A delightful musical program was rendered by the Universal Chair and Band. Solos were rendered by Mrs. Holder and Mrs. Luh Jenkins of the Chair. The message of the Flon, Margus Garvey was read by Colonel James Belley, with great emphasis, to which the audience applauded heartily, thus showing how happy they are always to hear the words of inspiration and counsel from their leader. A presentation of twelve dollars was made to the Garvey Club by Mrs. M. Duine as coming from the recital, that was given by the members of the choir. Our Lady Vice President, Mrs. L. McGarry, responded by thinking the chair members, for their gift and cooperation in helping them to get ready for the Sixth International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world. The speech making followed. Miss E. Collins' Address The greatest of all questions at this time is, the future security of our children's children; the question, is whether this race, of course, which God created in His own image, shall "live or die." This question is confronting you and every other member of the race at that time. Most of us are giving this little or no thought, but the time is coming when through the acts of oppressors of manage will regret if we do not seek to have our affairs readjusted as other races do, and to themselves on the basis of materialism which is a part of the physical existence which you live, in which is obtained your very bread and butter. The spirit that directed the Hon. Marcus Garvey to start this great movement, is now among the masses. We shall gather new, additional from his works, for a redemption of his The mind and thoughts of the great muses, have been directed toward freedom from oppression; toward the land of freedom Africa, our Motherland. We have now realized and concluded that Africa is the only redemption of the black race. Now is the time to stand together like one man in the support of this great organization. It must not fail. It is our only hope hope. The goals and policies of millions of our ancestors are now being realized, we may live, are calling us to be true. Uplify the pressing need of the moment for the grafted sons and daughters of Africa throughout the world. We are all one people. It makes no difference whether we are light, brown, red or black are all sons and daughters of one stock. The same condition of industrial limitation and economic oppression that affects one, also affects the other so why fight among ourselves. Our interests are all bound up in the one solution, therefore we must come together. We must unite upon the proposition of African redemption and stand behind the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, with the Hon. Marcus Garvey as our leader. Mr. James Smith Speaks Ever since man began to multiply their- greed for lands and gold has also multiplied with them. We find them fighting against each other and robbing the weaker races of their possessions and heritage. We of the black race have found this to be a fact, for today we find that our motherland Africa has been mapped out by white aliens and dominated by them. The time has come for each and every one of us to awake to this grave situation that confronts the Negro the world over. "We are looking forward to the time when black men shall represent us and dictate our policy; thus broadcasting it over the wide world that African shall no more be exploited by alien people. The colors of the Red, Black and Green must be respected by other nations of the world. It is the awakened Negro that has enabled the leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, to speak today as he does in the defense of his race. He is not speaking from emotion; he is burdened with the heap of apes heaped upon him that mauses him speak as he dogs. He is calling for men who can stand before denugogues. He is calling for men who fear no foe. Men who are cautious of their souls. Young men, Garvey wants you to discover yourself and tell him what you have observed. Our leader is appealing to every member to report to him the knowledge you have inculcated from the teachings of the U. N. It Association all these years. Just as a child of 4 years grows out of his wearing apparel, just so has the awakened Negro outgrown the small leadership of 1919 and 1926 of those that have been round about us. Garvey is calling for leadership and you are legal candidates, without nomination to report, to our President-General, your ability. Officers, members and friends of the Garvey Club we are, assembled here tonight to help to inspire and encourage each other in the struggle for existence. As we look around us from day to day to day there are evidences enough to convince black men that they are not needed in the social, political, commercial activities of the white race. They fail to realize that our race was brought here against us and forced to labor for them in building their country, by manual labor. Today we are jim-crowded, segregated, evenlynched and binned in return for the years of labor. is justice dead? is justice sleeping? Truth shall yet have a hearing in Mrs. I. McArney It is a pleasure ladged to be found in Liberty Hall square our members have been coming along by the heavy rain tonight. Our presence advocates the determination within our breast that we shall put over the program of an Africa redeemed. If our hearts are right within us, we can do much to perpetuate this wonderful-work as members of the black race. We are indeed much inspired by the wonderful message of the president General which has been read to us tonight. To us he is a super-man. The world can boast of their Baldwin and Lloyd Georger of their Mussolini. We of the black race are proud of our leader Marcus Garvey, the greatest organizing genius of the age. Let us, as loyal and true members, stick to the teachings and aims of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We as a people must make up in our mifids to carve out our destiny, and shape the future for generations to come. Other races and nations have succeeded in lifting themselves to fame, and we the black peoples can do likewise. Let unity be our watchword and mountains and hills shall move at our command.

The fact that his family is the only one of African descent here has worked many hardships on Leonard Bryant and his family. Although Bryant is forced to pay taxes, just as the whites, the Jimcow law and prejudice prohibit his children from attending the public schools. Last year some of the white teachers agreed to teach the Bryant children in the evening providing the county would pay for the tutelage but the county refused to do so; therefore, Bryant will either have to let his children grow up, illiterate or send them to another town for their education.

Presented to Trustees HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va., April 28. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, before 500 alumni, the students and workers, and the special Hampton party of 123 guests, delivered a stirring address at the sixty-first anniversary of Hampton Institute, in which he interpreted the contribution to the nation of the institution and the obligation of America to show that the dark races shall have equality of opportunity and freedom from exploitation. "We owe it to that black, yellow and brown population of humanity," declared Dr. Johnson, "whose hostages we are in this land, to show the way. For they are looking at this country today with-wistful eyes. Everything here attempted, they know belongs by kinship to them. They are hoping that this will not be the last in a series of the great successions of imperialists that have trampled black civilizations, but the first in a new series which will look upon this opportunity in America as its God-given calling to set free the human race. The presence of these 10,000,000 black factions is a thermometer set on the porch of the American people that the world can see every morning." "Our country," he continued, "does not need to say to the world anything about its attitude toward the darker people... the world can see what we intend! If this thermometer goes up and goes down the heart of a people will sink and rise and men will forge their plough shares into swords and seek into the earth for appliances of war, not yet known to man, but if this thermometer rises and continues to go up, until the dark human beings have equality of opportunity in this country, there will come such an affectionate outpouring of the hopes of the human race towards this country as has never blessed a nation since the foundation of the world. "I believe that God has placed us here to steer our country towards such a destination. We owe it to the Father, to make ourselves ready, not surrendering to expressions of self pity, waiting as best we can, for the nationan heart must listen, or it must die." Dr. Francis G. Peabody, whose retirement from the Hampton Board of Trustees, after thirty-nine years of service, was announced by Dr. Gregg presented the graduating classes to the Board of Trustees. Addressing the candidates for degrees and diplomas, Dr. Peabody said: "The permanent principles which Hampton has announced may be summed up in two definite aims. The first is that of educational democracy. The rapid and encouraging advance which keeps pace with the advancing opportunities and obligations of Negro citizenship, carried with it the risk of forgetting the principle of educational democracy and of tempting students, yes and teachers too, to better education so that boys is college may book industrial students, and boys in the shops or on farms may feel themselves inferior. That would be a break with the whole tradition of Hampton. We know nothing at Hampton of higher or lower education. Education is the drawing out from within the student of the character and efficiency hidden within him. Whatever does that is higher education. The moral dignity of labor, the equal rights of the head; hand and the heart—these are what steady and strengthen our graduates whether they plow, teach, build or preach. "The second principle," declared Dr. Peabody, "is that of interracial fellowship. The problem of American civilization is the problem of having two races live and work together in genuine and constructive fellowship. Fellowship means not segregation, but co-operation. Our most critical task is that of interracial femininity. Our supreme responsibility is the state of hasty or unconsidered thoughts and which might shatter the fundamental principle of interracial co-operation. Fifty-six candidates for degrees in the school of business, agriculture, library science, home economics, and education were presented to the trustees. Thirty-five candidates for diplomas in two-year collegiate courses and ninety-eight in the secondary school, including thirty-six from the trade-school were introduced by Dr. Peabody. The honor students, chosen largely with regard to scholarship, who will participate in the commencement program in May, were announced by Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, as follows: From the secondary schools, Lycurt Lee, of Coorpeate, M. C., from the two-year collegiate course, Lily Jackson, of Warrenton, Va.; from the college, Joseph G. Statcher, Jr., of Concordville, Va. The Lycurtia Black prize which awarded to Miles Preston Y.

Nansemond-County Va., Featured in Program HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. April 26.—A feature of the program of the sixty-first anniversary of Hampton Institute was the presentation of the work of Hampton graduates in the development of Nansendon County, Va. along the lines of health, education, business and agriculture. The early beginnings and constructive work of the county training school was described by Mr. H. E. Howell, principal. Teachers and farmers institutes, co-operation in health and community beautification were he stated, a part of the school program. Mrs. Obediah Walden, teacher of home, economics in the training school, demonstrated with two of her students, Gladys Holland and Corjine Smith, the preparation of the job school lunch. Mrs. Ben Davis a graduate of the Dixie training program for the progress of the county-wide program in health which has slowly been gaining the support of the State and county health authorities. Tuberculosis clinics, midwife instruction, health education and the five-point child campaign were described as having brought about a surprising range in health and health attitudes throughout the county. Mr. Howard Reid, local farm demonstration agent, brought two of his 4H Club girls with him, who showed methods used in club meetings in instructing members in better methods of farming. How to set a broody hen was shown in an assured, finished manner by the club girls. Mr. Reid, declared Mr. J. B. Pierce, agent of the United States. Department of Agriculture, in charge of demonstration work in the development of the 4H clubs. Mr. Ben Davis, proprietor of the Davis Bus Lines, told of the service rendered the county through better transportation. The program was closed by Mr. W. H. Crocker, of Suffolk, whose activities in civic affairs has been of unusual value to the development of Negro interests in Nansen County. One of the most beloved hymns in our language, one that has brought balm to millions of troubled spirits, is "Lead Kindly Light." It was written in 1855 by John Henry Newman, at that time a minister in the church of England, and later, a cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church. The hymn was composed during a fearful storm, while the vessel on which Newman was a passenger, was rocking to and fro in the Strait of Bignificio between Corsica and Sardinia. It has been suggested, however, that it was very probably the storm in the breast of the young clergyman rather than the one out side that was responsible for the writing of the words. for it was just at this time the well-known "Six X Ford" Movement in England, the terrible struggle between High Church and Low Church, was raging at its height. In his sea, of troubles the thirty-two-year-old minister's prayer was: "Lead kindly light, amid the encircling gloom, lead Thuc me on; the way is dark, and I am far from home, lead Thuc me on"—Mrs. Susie Robinson. Writes Book on American Negro Ell Busable Nyombolo, president, Native African Union of America, Inc., located at 200 West 135th street, New York City, who recently returned from a successful business trip through Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. While in Florida Mr. Nyombolo was the guest of the African Universal Church and Commercial League of, which Elder C. C. Addison and Madam M. L. Glymp are at the head. "Intalo Yaba Nisundu E Amelika" (Life Among Colored People in America), is purported to be a book dealing with the various phases of life of colored people in America and which Mr. Nyombolo expects to complete by the end of this year. Owing to the awakened interest to things Afro-American, and the absence of a production of this kind, written in a Bantu (Kokori) language, the book is expected to be like several books in the Bantu speaking genre in Africa.

WARNING: In O- Congressman George Nelson the House of Massachusetts has written a letter to President Herbert Hoover urging him to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the United States as well as the much-talked-of- Eighteenth Amendment. The Massachusetts Congressman has been battling for the rights of Negro citizens for several years, and his latest effort has caused much discussion here. After congratulating the President upon his expressed determination to "enforce the laws," Mr. Tinkham declared: "I expectly to draw your attention to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Constitution. The former makes. Negroes citizens of the United States and provides that the basis of representation shall be reduced in proportion to existing disfranchisement in any State, and the latter, amendment prohibits any.State from giving preference in the matter of suffrage to one citizen of Negro origin or previous condition of servitude, and the duty of enforcing these amendments with the Congress and the President. "No laws have been passed to enforce these amendments. They are now wholly and greatly nullified in many States. Negroes are counted in the population for purposes of representation in the Lower House of Congress and then disfranchised, giving those States disproportionate representation of the Union and thereby making elections to the House of Representatives and of a President illegal and unconstitutional." Comparing the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments with the Eighteenth, Congressman Tinkham pointed out that each one was a war time measure or the result of wars, and told the President: "If you are to obey your oath of office and to the best of your ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, you must either recommend to the Congress the passage of laws to enforce these amendments or refer the enforcement of them to your national investigating committee."

And I thought I had on a beautiful black beaded dress and gummetal hose, black satin slippers "within rhinestone buckles. "In singing the song I acted it through by looking at the Red Cross nurses who were there. After I had finished President Coolidge and the nurses gave me so much applause that when I woke up I could still hear them. "It was Thursday night that I had this dream, and ever since then I always keep that song on my mind the chorus anyway. Sincerely-Mrs. Sidney A. Forbes Cleveland, Ohio." Mrs. Sidney A.

Pettit, gave a brief address on the leadership of Hen. Marcus Garvey. He is our guiding star and we the members must keep our eyes steadfast on him and reach our goal," said the speaker. One of our members in the person of Mr. Waith presented to us the picture of the King and Queen of Abyssinia in their coronation robes of state, thus showing to the black race the splendor and glory of an unthreatened black people. The National Anthem brought our meeting to a close. One God, one Aim, One Dearty. Cincinnati, Ohio Thursday night, April 18th, the Negro populace of Cincinnati turned out on maze to witness one of the largest Racial Meetings ever staged by the Cincinnati Division at Liberty Hall, and to which many prominent Negro Business Executives of the City had been invited by Sir William Ware to participate on the program. Ware was the first person in usual in order to give each speaker as much time as possible. A brief preliminary speech by the President, Sir William Ware, and two selections by the choir suffused to make up the program preceding the addresses of the evening by our distinguished visitors. Hon. Richard H. Bachler, Representative of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, and also great defender of the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was the first speaker. His subject for the evening was, "The Eyes of the Negro Are Being Opened and He has Begun to See His Nakedness." Mr. Bachler treated this subject admirably to the satisfaction of all present. His usual forceful logic and brilliant eloquence was in display throughout the address and at the close of which he was accorded warm anouncement by the affective audience. Hon. M. C. Clarke, President of the Imperial Finance Corporation, one of Cincinnati's many progressive Negro businesses, was next presented. Mr. Clarke before quoting his subject stated that sufficient tribute could not be paid Mr. Ware for having made the Universal Negro Improvement Association in these parts, an organization of note, and respectfully feared by its most bitter enemies. His most timely subject was, "Intro-Racial and Intro-Economics." In part Mr. Clarke stated that the Negro is an economical slave, and he will not be free until he adopts the method and way to freedom as taught by the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Association. He also emphasized the importance of offering more business men as we would have a grave problem on hand if we would become top-heavy with professional men. He gave credit to the Hon. Marcus Garvey for bringing into existence the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which has been a fountain of inspiration to all legitimate Negro businesses. Dr. Quinny A. Gladden, young fearless Negro physician, of Cincinnati was the next speaker. He chose for his subject, "Race Industry, Race Consciousness, and Race Pride Compared with Segregation." Dr. Gladden urged the Negro to get together, roll up his sleeves and create industries of his own. Hon. William C. Hicks, Bank Executive and Organizer was the next speaker. Mr. Hicks drove home some very savory points. If we could organize our hypocritical leaders, says Mr. Hicks, and if the Negroes of the world would organize their finance under the motto "Universal Negro groupism" Association the very success of itself could not impede the success of the Negro race. Mr. Hicks upon arriving in Cincinnati immediately connected himself with the Organization, and he is now completing final plans for, the establishing of A Negro State bank in Cincinnati, whereby boys and girls of the race can be given employment. Attorney George W. B. Conrad was next presented. Mr. Conrad is our prospective candidate for the City Council next fall. He stated in part that his motive for wanting to become a member of the City Council was the same as that of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, to regular service in his race. He states faintly and nobly that he does not wear the collar of any political party, and that he owes no allegiance to anyone but his race. During the course of his growth, he exhibited on the wonderful opportunities which were presented themselves through the instrur- museum of the Episcopal Negro Immigration Association. Mr. Toddhew M. Barry, principal speaker of the ovation, was present. He shakes his theme, "Difficult- ness." Mr. Barry stated that the time had come for the Negro to paddle his own canoe. At present, Mr. Barry, a very young man, is studying law at the Law Department at the University of Cincinnati, and is also connected with the African American community the Brotherhood, National Bank, which is a white institution. He is a splendid model for the youth of the race to pattern after. The activities of the Cincinnati division since its origin under the leadership of its worthy President, Sir William Ware, has attracted the serious attention of the public in this section, and has done much toward the advancement of the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Our efforts have borne fruit in many directions despite the dark cloud of misunderstanding which has been hanging over our organization for months, and which is speedily clearing away. This bespeaks a greater and more effective organization for the future. Montreal, Canada Sunday, April 21. --- The regular meeting was held at Liberty Hall, 618 Chatham St., at 3:30 P. M., with President Potter presiding. 'The spiritual 'part of the meeting commenced with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed with prayer from the Ritual; Scripture lesson was read by the president, and duly commented upon; other hymns were sung and prayer brought this to a close. Mass meetings followed with the reading of front page of The Negro World, by Mr. Gilpin and commented upon, and a-guitar solo, by Mrs. Folkes following. At this juncture the president introduced Mr. Z. Chambers as the speaker of the evening. In reaching the rostrum the speaker said he had a surprise for the members and produced copies of the "Blackman," the first to receive same here. The audience went wild with enthusiasm. He then read Hon. Marcus Garvey's message in Saturday's issue April 6, while the audience listened with rapt attention. After which for half an hour he delivered an interesting and scholarly, but timely address; during which he pointed out clearly to the young women of the community; the important fact, that most of them should seize the opportunity now, and take up a business course, for in a short while they will be needed to fill positions, and the most competent will be accepted, etc.; as the coming of the Blackman clearly shows. In closing his address Mr. Chambers received voiciferous applause. The chairman gave an address and his topic, "Uttity", which was masterly handled and explained.

On Sunday, April 16, 1930, all usual the Buffalo Bank of the world's greatest set movements among Negroes are assembled, and the same spirit as to old was manifested. On the platform seated were Mr. Charles Ferry, president; Mr. Howard, vice-president; and Mrs. Dixon, chaplain. The meeting was opened in the usual way with the chaplain officiating. The program for the evening was conducted by the reporter. Almost all those who took part were volunteers, people, who have talent and do not hide them under "bushels" as of yore, but are ever ready and willing to let the world know just what they can do. Mr. Charles Ferry, the president, made an earnest appeal to outsiders, and backsliders to again enter the ranks and help to improve conditions among Negroes. The Misses Anderson and Pigues were the next to show their best talents. They contributed a duet, which was greatly appreciated. Mr. King, a very young man, moved the audience with great approval of his fine oration. This is the young man's second time on our platform, and we all wish him every success. More power and speed to you Mr. King. The A. L. Band was also with us, and more appreciation, was shown them for their wonderful selections; and improvements from time to time. It was only on the 18th of April that they held a concert at a local church, which also added more laurels to their crown. Mr. Evans, a new musician in the city, is also proud of the band. To show his appreciation, he played a trhonebone solo, with the touch of a master musician. We enjoyed his presence among us. Miss Austin was also with us today, and, as usual, took a part in the way which she knows how. A very beautiful solo was rendered by Miss Pigress. We do not know if it is on account of Miss Austin's size, but, in general, it is always with her. We welcome you to Liberty Hall always. Miss Austin. On Saturday evening the lady presided gave a party for the juveniles. Quite a large l, ber attended, and after a feast of ice cream, cakes and sandwiches they all went home happy.

C. A. Wednesday evening, April 10 under the auspices of the Denver division 1,000. He was greeted enthusiastically by a patient and friendly audience. In the trend of his speech he cautioned the Negro against poor leadership and the pitfalls in politics of the different smoke screens the white man adopted to lead us away from our motherland, Africa; also the barbed-wire entanglements that kept the Negro from organizing for the uplift and betterment of all Negroes; no matter where domiciled. He cited the wonderful work that our dear leader had accomplished during his-European tour; and what a splendid program was mapped out for the settling of our International Convention to be held at Jamaica, B.

"What the Negro Thinks" is the title of a new book by Robert Russa Moton, of Tuskegee, Ala., which has been published by Doubleday-Doran Whatever the influence of all who knew him well. When he met yet in youth he would be always agreed, his community in a very helpful way, witness the influence of all who knew him well. When he was yet in youth Mr. Garvey thought to travel to London for what purpose he did not know. But the speaker said this was God's way of qualifying Garvey for the leadership of the world. He told Mr. Garvey went into a newspaper plant in London, England, and started Duce Muhammett, of Egypt, secured position with manager as an editor, and in a very short, while he became the boss of the plant even as he was the boss of the world today. It was while Mr. Garvey was employed in this place that he was fully qualified and from this qualification the leadership of 400,000,000 Negroes fell upon Garvey and the plan of our salvation was given in the hands of Marcus Garvey. Therefore the speaker continued, saying the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey is unequalled in the world of the people given more light to the world than any man since Jesus Christ. Garvey and his followers are the only people of today who are successfully carrying out the orders · our Saviour. We are going into all the world preaching the Gospel to every creature · Teaching all the nations God's command. This and many other things the speaker brought to our minds. After the collection was over the Rev. Andrews told us of the necessity of supporting the Negro World; and we raised a small donation for the Negro World.

In spite of the most inclement weather, there were to be seen the fairchild and eager members when the Sunday mis meeting held under the auspices of the Carvey Club was called to order! Mr. Rutus Pettitt, our Vice-President, occupied the chair, while other offers assisted in making the even- ing's program a success.

McCartney, responded by thanking the choir members for their gift and cooperation in helping them to get ready for the Sixth International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world. The speech making followed. Miss E. Collins' Address The greatest of all questions at this time is, the future security of our children's children; the question is whether this race of outse, which God created in his own image, shall live or die? This question is confronting you and every other member of the race at this time. Most of us are giving this little or no thought, but the time is coming, when through the acts of oppressors, of man, we will regret if we do not seek to have our affairs readjusted as other races of mankind, who are readjusting themselves on the basis of materialism which is a part of the physical existence which you live, in which you obtained your very bread and butter, the spirit that directed the Hon. Marcus Garvoy to start this great movement, is now ending the masses. We shall gather new associations from his works, for a redemption of his race. The minds and thoughts of the great masses, have been directed toward freedom from oppression; toward the land of freedom Africa, our Motherland. We have now realized and concluded that Africa is the only redemption of the black race. Now is the time to stand together like one man in the support of this great organization. It must not fall. It is our only future hope. The souls and voices of millions of our ancestors are calling for the freedom we may live are calling to the true. Unity is the pressing need of the moment for the scattered songs and daughters of Africa throughout the world. We are all one people. It makes no difference whether we are light, brown, red or black, we are all sons and daughters of one stock. The same condition of industrial limitation and economic oppression that affects one, also affects the other so why fight among ourselves. Our interests are all bound up in the one solution, therefore we must come together. We must unite upon the proposition of African, redemption and stand behind the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, with the Hon. Marcus Garvey as our leader. Mr. James Smith Speaks Ever since man began to multiply their gred for lands and gold has also multiplied with them. We find them fighting against each other and robbing the weaker races of their possessions and heritage. We of the black race have found this to be a fact, for today we find that pit motherland Africa has been mapped out by white allens and dominated by the blacks. The time has come for each and every one of us to awake to this grave situation that confronts the Negro the world over. We are looking forward to the time when black men shall represent us and dictate our policy, thus broadcasting it over the wide world that African shall no more be exploited by alien people. The colors of the Red, Black, and Green must be respected by other nations of the world. It is the awakened Negro that has enabled our leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, to speak today as he does in the defense of human rights from emotions. It is the burdens that have been-heaped upon his race that makes him speak as he does. He is calling for men, who can stand before demagogues. He is calling for men who fear no foe. Men who are captains of their souls. Young men, Garvey, invites you to discover yourselves and tell him what you have observed. "Our leader is appealing to every member to report to him the knowledge you have included from the teachings of the U.N. L. Association all these years. "Just as a child of 4 years grows out of his wearing apparel, just so has the awakened. Negro outgrown. The small leadership of 1919 and 1926 of those that have been round about us. Garvey is calling for leadership and you can legal candidates, without nomination to report to our President-General, your ability. Mr. R. Pettis Officers, members and friends of the Garber Club we are assembled here tonight to help to inspire and encourage each other in the struggle for existence. As we look around us from day to day there are evidences enough to convince, black men that they are not needed in the social, political, commercial activities of the white race. They fail to realize that our race was brought here against its will and forced to labor for them in building up their country, by manual labor. Today we are jim-crowed, segregated, even lynched and burned in return for the years of labor. Is justice dead? - Is justice sleeping? Truth shall yet have a bearing, in height of the 400,000,000 pages of the world. It is time that we give on the spirit of determination to the few our selves and from ourselves from the economic sharing and aggregation. We shall not forget our homestead where we shall again give to the world history that is misrepresented. We have done it before, and we shall yet again brighten the pages of history with our achievements. Mrs. L. McCartney It is a pleasure indeed to be found in Liberty Hall though our numbers have been decreased owing to the heavy rains tonight. Our presence advocates the determination within our heart that we shall put over the program of an Africa redeemed. If we can do this, we can do much to perpetuate this wonderful work as members of the black race. We are indeed much inspired by the wonderful message of the president General-which has been read to us tonight. To us he is a super-man. The world can boast of their Baldwin and Lloyd George; of their Mussolini. We of the black race are proud of our leader Marc Garvey, the greatest organizing genius of the age. Let us, as loyal and true members, stick to the teachings and aims of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We as a people must make up in our minds to carve out our destiny, and shape the future for generations to come. Other races and nations have succeeded in lifting themselves to fame, and we, the black people can do likewise. Let unity be our, watchword and mountains and hills shall move at our command.

"Only Negro Family" on Island Causes Confusion OCRACOKE, N. C., April 17 — (ANP). The fact that his family is the only one of African descent here has worked many hardships on Leonard Bryant and his family. Although Bryant is forced to pay taxes, just as the whites, the jim-crow law and prejudice prohibit his children-from attending the public schools. Last year some of the white 'teachers agreed to teach the Bryant children in the evening providing the county would pay for the tutelage but the county refused to do so; therefore, Bryant will either have to let his children grow up illiterate or send them to another town for their education.

Johnson, president of Howard University, before 500 alumni, the students and workers, and the special Hampton party of 123 guests, delivered a stirring address at the sixty-first anniversary of Hampton Institute, in which he interpreted the contribution to the nation of the institution and the obligation of America to show that the dark races shall have equality of opportunity and freedom from exploitation. "We owe it to that black, yellow and brown population of humanity," declared Dr. Johnson, "whose hostages—we are in this land, to show the way. For they are looking at this country today with wistful eyes. Everything here, attempted, they know belongs by kinship to them. They are hoping that this will not be the last in a series of the great successions of *Imperialism* that have trampled black civilizations, but the first in a new series which will look upon this opportunity in *America* as its God-given, calling to set free the human race. The presence of these 10,000,000 black faces is a thermometer set on the porch of the American people that the world can see every morning." "Our country," he continued, "does not need to say to the world anything about its attitude toward the darker people ... the world can see what we intend. If this thermometer goes up and goes down the heart of a people will sink and rise and men will forge their plough shares into swords and seek into the earth for appliances of war not yet known to man, but if that thermometer rises and continues to go up, until the dark human beings have equality of opportunity in this country, there will come such an affectionate outpouring of the hopes of the human race towards this country as has never blessed a nation since the foundation of the world." "I believe that God has placed us here to steer our country towards such a destination. We owe 'it to the Father to make ourselves ready, not surrendering to expressions of self-pity, waiting as best we can, for the national heart' must listen, or it must die." Dr. Francis G. Peabody, whose retirement from the Hampton Board of Trustees, after thirty-nine years of service, was announced by Dr. Gregg presented the graduating classes to the Board of Trustees. Addressing the candidates for degrees and diplomas, Dr. Peabody said: "The permanent principles which Hampton has announced may be summed up in two definite aims. The first is that of educational democracy. The rapid and encouraging advance which keeps pace with the advancing opportunities and obligations of Negro citizenship, carried with it the risk of forgetting the principle of educational democracy and of tempting yes and teachers too—to believe yes there is a higher and a lower education; that boys in college may look down industrial students, and boys in the army or on farms may feel themselves inferior. That would be a break with the whole tradition of Hampton. We know nothing at Hampton of higher or lower education. Education is the drawing out from within the student of the character and efficiency hidden within him. Whatever does that is higher education. The moral dignity of labor, the equal rights of the head, hand and the heart—these are what steady and strengthen our graduates whether they plow, teach, build or preach. "The second principle," declared Dr. Peabody, "is that of interracial fellowship. The problem of American civilization is the problem of having two races live and work together in genuine and constructive fellowship. Fellowship means not segregation, but co-operation. Our most critical task is that of interracial interethnicism. Our supreme reaphoiism the risk of hasty or unconsidered thoughts and needs which might shatter the fundamental principle of interracial co-operation." Fifty-six candidates for degrees in the school of business, agriculture, library science, home economics and education were presented to the trustees. Thirty-five candidates for diplomas in two-year collegiate courses and ninety-eight in the secondary school, including thirty-six from the trade school were introduced by Dr. Peabody. The honor students, chosen largely with regard to scholarship, who will participate in, the commencement program in May, were announced by Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, as follows: From the secondary schools, Lycurtii Lee, of Corpeake, N. C.; from the two-year collegiate courses, Miss Lily Jackson, of Warrenton, Va.; and from the college, Joseph G. Fletcher, Jr. of Conneville, Pa. The Lviviana Black primes were awarded to Miss Brylyn H. Young, of Pine Bark, Ark. for predicativity in dressmaking and to Arthur R. McGee, of Lexington, Ky., for the best year work in taking. Dr. J. E. Gregg opened the program, calling on the Rev. R. D. Lemen, pastor of the Morning Glory The Oss民族和民族 Va., for prayer. The dress on the elementary contribution to society by other sangie R. Jones, of Raligh, and the questionation in the health of deals, Edward Smith, of Debord, Fle, and Williams E. Hogy, of Brown's Sewash, N. Q., on how to construct a ratcheced concrete beam, with ap- plause. The assemble signing of the the choir under the leadership of Dr. R. Nathaniel Det, added a characteristic touch to this Hampton program, which closed with the singing of the Alma Mater song. Hampton trustees present at the annual spring meeting were: Francis G. Peabody, Boston; Charles E. Biglow, Arthur Curtis James, Alexander B. Trowbridge, New York; Frank W. Darling, Hampton, Va.; Chester B. Emerson, Detroit; James E. Gregg, Hampton Institute; Robert R.

April 26.—A feature of the program of the sixty-first anniversary of Hampton Institute was the presentation of the work of Hampton graduates in the development of Nansendon County, Va., along the lines of health, education, business and agriculture. The early beginnings and constructive work of the county training school was described by Mr. H. E. Howell, principal. Teachers and farmers institutes, co-operation in health and community beautification were, he stated, a part of the school program. Mrs. Obediah Walden, teacher of home economics in the training school, demonstrated with two of her students, Gladys Holland and Corinne Smith, the preparation of the hot school lunch. Mrs. Ben Davis, a graduate of the Dixie training School for Nurses and a graduate of the wide program in health which has slowly been gaining the support of the State and county health authorities. Tuberculosis clinics, midwife instruction, health education and the five-point child campaign were described having brought about a surprising change in health and health attitudes throughout the county. Mr. Howard Reid, local farm, demonstration agent, brought two of his 4 H Club girls with him, who showed methods used in club meetings in instructing members in better methods of farming. How to set a broody hen was shown in an assured, finished manner by the club girls. Mr. Reid, declared Mr. J. B. Pierce, agent of the United States. Department of Agriculture, in charge of demonstration work in the development of the 4 H clubs. Mr. Ben Davis, proprietor of the Davis Bus Lines, told of the service rendered the county through better transportation. The program was closed by Mr. W. H. Crocker, of Surfolk, whose activities in civic affairs has been of unusual value in the development of New Interests in Nansenond County. "Lead Kindly Light" How It Started One of the most beloved hymns in our language, one that has brought balm to millions of troubled spirits, is "Lead 'Kindly Light.'" It was written in 1835 by John Henry Newman, at that time a minister in the church of England, and later, a cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church. The hymn was composed during a fearful storm, while the vessel on which Newman was a passenger, was rocking to and fro in the Strait of Bonifacio between Corsica and Sardinia. It has been suggested, however, that it was very, probably the storm in the breast of the young clergyman rather than the one out side that was responsible for the writing of the words, for it was just at this time the well-known "Six X Ford Movement" in England, the terrible, struggle, between High Church and Low Church, was raging at its height." In his set of troubles the thirty-two-year-old minister's prayer was: "Lead kindly light, amid the encircling gloom, lend Thou me on; the way is dark, and I am far from home, lend Thou me on."—Mrs. Susie Robinson.

Ell Rusable Nymbomb, president, Native African Union of America, Inc., located at 200 West 135th street, New York City, who recently returned from a successful business trip through Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. While in Florida Mr. Nymbombo was the guest of the African Universal Church and Commercial League of which Elder C. G. Addison and Madam M. L. Glymp are at the head. "Intalo Yaba Nisunu E Amelika" (Life Among Colored People in America), is purported to be a book dealing with the various phases of life of colored people in America and which Mr. Nyombolo expects to complete by the end of this year. Owing to the awakened interest to things Afro-Americans, and the absence of a production of this kind, written in a Banta (XoKen) language, the book is expected to run into several editions among the Banta speaking people in Africa.

C.-Congressman George Holden Tinkham of Massachusetts has written a letter to President Herbert Hoover urging him to enforce the Fourth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Constitution of the United States as well as the much-talked-of Eighteenth Amendment. The Massachusetts Congressman has written for the rights of Negro citizens for four decades his latest effort has caused much discussion here. After congratulating the President upon his expressed determination to "enforce the laws," Mr. Tinkham declared: "Permit me respectfully to draw your attention to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Constitution. The former makes Negroes citizens of the United States and provides that the basis of representation shall be reduced in proportion to existing disfranchisement in any_State, and the latter amendment prohibits any State from giving preference in the matter of suffrage to one citizen over another on account of color, race or previous condition of servitude, and the duty of enforcing these amendments with the Congress and the President. "No laws have been passed to enforce these amendments. They are now wholly and grossly nullified in many States. Negroes are counted in the population for purposes of representation in the Lower House of Congress and then dismisprachioned, giving those States disproportionate representation, unfair to the other States and disproportionate representations to the House of Representatives and of a President illegal and unconstitutional." Comparing the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments with the Eighteenth, Congressman Tinkham pointed out that each one was a war time measure or the result of wars, and told the President: "If you are to obey your oath of office and to the best of your ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, you must either recommend to the Congress the passage of laws to enforce these amendments or refer the enforcement of them to your national investigating committee." Dream Reveals Future Success BY ALI YOUSSIF MOHAMMED "Dear Sir; I dreamed that I was in Washington, D. C., at a political meeting, sitting beside President and Mrs. Coolidge. Mr. Coolidge said to me: 'Mrs. Forbes, I understand that you are a very good singer and I would like to hear you sing one of your favorite songs that you liked during the World War.' And I told him the name of it, which was entitled 'The Rose of No Man's Land.' And I thought, I find on a beautiful black beaded dress and gummetal hose, black satin slippers within rhinestone buckles. "In singing the song I acted it through by looking at the Red Cross nurses who were there. After I had finished President Coolidge and the nurses gave me so much applause that when I woke up I could still hear them. "It was Thursday night that I had this dream, and ever since then I always keep that song on my mind the chorus anyway. Sincerely-Mrs. Sidacy A. Forbes, Cleveland, Ohio." Mrs. Sidney A.

On Sunday afternoon a musical renaissance was remodeled at Liberty Hall under the sighs of the Garry Gash. The meeting opened with the usual opening ceremonies, with the second lady vice-president, Miss E. Collins, presiding. After a few remarks of welcome Miss Smith entertained the audience with a recitation. Next a violin solo was rendered by Master Eric James in fine style; soprano by Hamilton; piano solo by Master Bruce; violin solo by Mr. Douglas; violin solo by Master Donald Maynard; tanzor solo by Mr. George Willis, soprano solo by Mr. Holder; piano solo by Master George Maynard; soprano solo by Mr. M. Dume, and chorus by members of the Famous Seven, made up the musical renderings. The musical program was quite a treat to the audience and was greatly appreciated. Our vice-president, Mr. R. Pettit, gave a brief address on the leadership of Hon. Marcus Garvey: "He is our guiding star and we the members must keep our eyes stealthfast on him and reach our goal," said the speaker. One of our members in the person of Mr. Walth presented to us the picture of the King and Queen of Abysinia in their coronation robes of state, thus showing to the black race the splendor and glory of an unconquered black people. The National Anthem brought our meeting to a close. One God, one Aim, One Deathy. Cincinnati, Ohio Thursday night, April 18th, the Negro populace of Cincinnati turned out en masse to witness one of the largest Racial Meetings ever staged by the Cincinnati Division at Liberty Hall, and to which many prominent Negro Business Executives of the city had been invited by Sir William Ware to participate on the program. The program was cut shorter than usual in order to give each speaker as much time as possible. A brief preliminary speech by the Presidency Sir William Ware, and two selections by the choir suffused to make up the program preceding the addresses of the evening by our distinguished visitors. Hon. Richard H. Bachlor, Representative of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, and also great defender of the principals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was the first speaker. His subject for the evening was, "The Eyes of the Negro Are Being Opened and He has Begun to See His Nakedness." Mr. Bachlor treated this subject admirably to the satisfaction of all present. -His usual forceful logic and brilliant cloquence was in display throughout the address and at the close of which he was accorded warm applause by the attentive audience. Hon. M. C. Clarke, President of the Imperial Finance Corporation, one of Cincinnati's many progressive Negro businesses, was next presented. Mr. Clarke before quoting his subject stated that sufficient tribute could not be paid Mr. Ware for having made the Universal Negro Improvement Association in these parts, an organization of note, and respectfully feared by its most bitter enemies. His most timely subject was, "Intro-Racial and Intro-Economics." In part Mr. Clarke stated that the Negro is an economical slave, and he will not be free until he adopts the method and way to freedom as taught by the Hon. Marc Garvey and the Universal Negro Association. He also emphasized the necessity of the Negro race producing more business as we would have done in the past. If he would become top-heavy with professional men, he gave credit to the Hon. Marc Garvey for bringing into existence the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which has been a fountain of inspiration to all legitimate Negro businesses. Dr. Quincy A. Gladden, young fearless Negro physician of Cincinnati was the next speaker. He diosse for his subject, "Race Industry, Race Consciousness, and Race Pride Compared with Segregation." Dr. Gladden urged the Negro to get together, roll up his sleeves and create industries of his own. Hon. William C. Hicks, Bank Executive and Organizer was the next speaker. Mr. Hicks drove home some very savvy points. If we could organize our hypocritical leaders, says Mr. Hicks, and if the Negroes of the world would organize their finance under the motto of "Ulysses Walk" Association the very rates of hell could not impede the progress of the Negro race. Mr. Hicks upon arriving in Cincinnati immediately connected himself with the Organization, and he is now completing final plans for the establishing of a Negro State bank in Cincinnati, whereby boys and girls of the race can be given employment. Attorney George W. B. Coprad was next presented. Mr. Conrad is our prospective candidate for the City Council next fall. He stated in part that his motive for, wanting to become a member of the City Council was the same as that of the Hom. Marcos Garvey, to render service to his race. He states fearlessly and boldly that he does not wear the collar of any political party, and that he owes no allegiance to anyone but his race. During the course of his speech he emphasized on the wonderful opportunities which were present for themselves through the inter- Free Trip To Jamaica, B.W.I.

If you doubt it, just try and you will be surprised with the results. messianity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. Theodore M. Berry, principal speaker of the evening, was presented. He chose for his theme, "Thirtieth." Mr. Berry stated that the hope had come for the Negro to paddle his own canoe. At present, Mr. Berry, a very young man, is studying law at the Law Department at the University of Cincinnati, and is also connected with the Brotherhood National Bank, which is a white institution. He is a splendid model for the youth of the race to pattern after. The activities of the Cincinnati division since its origin under the leadership of its worthy President, Sir William Ware, has attracted the serious attention of the public in this section, and has done much toward the advancement of the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Our efforts have borne fruit in many directions despite the dark cloud of misunderstanding which has been hanging over our work. We are six or seven months, and which is being released away. This bespeaks a greater and more effective organization for the future. Montreal, Canada Sunday, April 21. — The regular meeting was held at Liberty Hall, 618 Chatham St., at 3:30 P. M., with President Potter presiding. The spiritual part of the meeting commenced with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed with prayer from the Ritual; Scripture lesson was read by the president and duly commented upon; other hymns were sung and prayer brought this to a close. Mass meetings followed with the reading-of front page of The Negro World, by Mr. Gilpin and commented upon, and a guitar solo, by Mrs. Folkes following. At this juncture the president introduced Mr. Z. Chambers as the speaker of the evening. In reaching the rostrum the speaker said he had a surprise for the member and produced copies of the Blackman's book here. The audience went wild with euthasism. He then read Hon. Marcus Garvey's message in Saturday's issue April 6, while the audience listened with rapt attention. After which for half an hour he delivered an interesting and scholarly, but timely address; during which he pointed out clearly to the young women of the community the important fact, that most of them should seize the opportunity now, and take a business course, for in a while while he listened to positions—and the most competent will be accepted, etc., as the coming of the Blackman clearly shows. In closing his address Mr. Chambers received voceous applause. The chairman gave an address and his topic, "Unity," which was masterly handled and explained. The collection was lifted and announcement given out, followed with a duet by Mrs. Folkes and Baptiste, which was nicely rendered. Mrs. Tucker gave a report relative to the dance held on Thursday night last in aid of the Boys Band, informed those present that inasmuch as the bed weather prevented the crowd expected, still the affair brought success, which was very encouraging. Next Sunday, Prof. Proovot, instructed of the Boys Band, will address on behalf of the band on the aid and support needed to enlarge the hand. The singing of the Ethiopian, National Anthem brought an evening well spent, to a close. Z. CHAMBERS. On Sunday, April 16, 1839, as usual, the British Embassy of the world's greatest movements among Negroes assembled, and the same spirit as of old was manifested. On the platform seated were Mr. Charles Ferry, president; Mr. Howard, vice-president, and Mrs. Dixon, the meeting was in the usual way with the chaplain officiating. The program for the evening was conducted by the reporter. Almost all those who took part were volunteers, people who have talent and do not hide them under "bushels" as of yore, but are ever ready and willing to let the world know just what they can do. Mr. Charles Ferry, the president, made an earnest appeal to outsiders, and backsliders to again enter the ranks and help to improve conditions among Negroes. The Misses Anderson and Pigues were the next to show their best talents. They contributed a duet, which was greatly appreciated. Mr. King, a very young man, moved the audience with great approval of his fine oration. This is the young man's second time on our platform, and we all wish him every success. More power and speed to you Mr. King. The A. L. Band was also with us, and more appreciation was shown them for their wonderful selections; and improvements from time to time. It was only on the 18th of April that they held a concert at a local church, which also added more laurels to their crown. Mr. Evans, a new musician in the city, is also proud of the band. To show his appreciation, he played a trombone solo, with the touch of a master musician. We enjoyed his presence among us. Miss Austin was also with us today, and, as usual, took a part in the way which she knows how. A very beautiful solo was rendered by Miss Pigues. We do not know if it is on account of Miss Austin's size, but every one is always eager to hear her. We welcome you to Liberty Hall always. Miss Austin plays the lady presided gave party for the juveniles. Quite a large number attended, and after a feast of ice cream, cakes and sandwiches they all went home. Sister Dixon gave us an honest-to-goodness spiritual talk. She said that she knew her business about religion and her relationship with Africa and her briachreen. So don't be fooled. Marc Garvey is on the right line. She kept the audience in a frenzy of enthusiasm. Although Sister Dixon is new among us, she is a real live wire. The meeting was closed with the singing of the national anthem. J. BROWN; Reporter. Denver, Colo. The Hor. h. B. Knox, personal representative of the Hon. Marc Garvey, addressed a goodly number of Denver citizens at the Negro Y. M. C. A. Wednesday evening, April 10 under the auspices of the Denver division 1,000. He was greeted enthusiastically by a patient and friendly audience. In the trend of his speech he cautioned: the Negro against poor leadership and the pitfalls in politics of the different smoke screens the white man adopted to lead, us away from our motherland, Africa; also the barbed-wire entanglements that kept the Negro from organizing for the uplift and betterment of all Negroes; no matter where domiciled. He cited the wonderful work that our dear leader had accomplished during his European tour; and what a splendid program was mapped out for the settling of our International Convention to be hold at Jamason, E. W. I. Denver will long remember their silver-tongued orator—mouth-piece of the Hon. Marc Garvey. The meeting was opened by the Happy was the hours spent in the Barnes Division. No. 52, on Sunday, March 31. The members and friends of the vicinity did not fall to attend. It was the rally of Jamaica. Under the sound of the gavel at 4:15 p. m. the meeting was called to order by his Grace, the Archchapel. The opening hymn, "O God, Our Help in Ages Past," was sung. The evening lesson was read by Assistant Chaplain taken from the 29th Chapter of St. Matthew, after which the Cuban National anthem was played. The blaspheon gave his address; next came the processional hymn, "Shine on Eternal Light" bringing in the legislative members. After taking their seats the band played the N. U. I. aanthem. A song was sung and after that the British anthem leading in the Governor and his secretary was played. The Governor was introduced to the audience by his secretary and the roll was called for the Members of the Council, then the Governor arose and gave a short address.

We had an inspiring address by our President, the Rev. J. F. Littick. We also had some remarks by Mr. J. W. C. Williams. We then joined in singing, "All Aboard Going to Glory," led by Mr. Wm. Mack. After this we listened to quite a soul-stirring address by the Rev. A. J. Cross. He brought to our minds many things pertaining to the organization in her early stage, and assured us that the organization had its trying experiences and stood the test. Therefore he said the well-thinking Negro should not hesitate but join the movement for African redemption and let us put the program over. C. C. Andrews was the principal speaker for the day. The Rev. Andrews arose and highly co-graduated the speakers who proceeded him. After this he proceeded to speak to us on qualification for true leadership. He called our attention to the Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the early days when he was yet in his youth how he always served his community in a very helpful way. AMAICA, B.W.

Those who were present did justice to themselves and the organization. The meeting was opened with the singing of the hymn "From Greenland's Icy Mountains"; at 3:30 p. m. prayers were read from the ritual, and the song; "God Bless Our President," was sung. In his opening remarks, the president referred to several communications received from Jamaica and New York. The matters in these communications were duly dealt with.

She delivered another of her illuminating addresses, bearing on the race in connection with biblical history. It was greatly enjoyed. Mrs. Frances Williams also made a few encouraging remarks that were well received. The came Mrs. Lula Crowell in her usual warmth and earnestness. She made us all feel good in telling her work for the race from when she was a child to the present time, which is over fifty years. Mr. Ross Crowell also encouraged the members to go forward till the Red, Black and Green is set up in Africa. Mr. Willingham Washington and Mr. S. F. Gumm made very interesting addresses, which were greatly enjoyed. Lolau Smith, who made the first speech, did her part well, short and sweet. Mrs. Ella Akin and Mrs. Martha Hudson were the last speakers, and each did justice to the occasion, and placed on sale by them within the past week. It was also Rally Day, and right well did each member acquire himself and herself. On Sunday, 21, will be "Convention Day," when each member will start the fund for representation. May each do his best and leave the rest to God. One aim one destiny and one God is our cry. G. R. CHRISTIAN, Reporter.

When he was yet in youth, how he always served his community in a very helpful way, winning the influence of all who knew him well. When he was yet in youth, Mr. Garvey thought to travel to London for what purpose he did not know. But the speaker said this was God's way of qualifying Garvey for the leadership of the world. He told how Mr. Garvey went into a newspaper plant in London, England, and started Duce Muhammett, of Egypt, secured position with manager as an editor, and in a very short while he became the boss of the plant even as he is the boss of the world today. It was while Mr. Garvey was employed in this place that he was fully qualified and from 100,000 Negroes fell into Garvey and the thousands of our salvation was given in the hands of Marcus Garvey. Therefore the speaker continued saying the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey is unequaled among the sons of men. Garvey has given more light to the world than any man since Jesus Christ. Garvey and his followers are the only people of today who are successfully carrying out the orders our Saviour. We are going into all the world preaching the Gospel to every creature. Teaching all the nations God's command. This and many other things the speaker brought to our minds. After the collection was over the Rev. Andrews told us of the necessity of supporting the Negro World; and we raised a small donation for The Negro World. The meeting was closed singing the Ethiopian National Anthem.

XXV. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1929. No. 13 "MARCUS GARVEY THE GREAT EMANCIPATOR" HISTORY records no greater service to any race of people, at any time than the service that has been rendered to the people of the Negro race by Marcus Garvey. Not in all the annals of history have the deeds of any man so stirred any section of the human race as the work of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association have done to the people of the Negro race, except the religion of Jesus Christ. There are those who do not, believe with Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. that the only solution of the Negro problem, the only satisfactory solution lies in the founding of a national government in his homeland, Africa; so that the rights of Negroes everywhere can be protected, or his wrongs redressed when those rights are trampled on. But disagree with him if you will, the fact remains, no other solution that has ever been offered; within the knowledge of any man, living or dead, holds out any chance of satisfaction, but the dream of Marcus Garvey. That same dream of Garvey has electrified the world of Negroes, as nothing else has done, since Hamibal crossed the Alps. It has been an awakening of the imagination to the people of this race of ours. The manhood of the race has had a rebirth since Garvey came on the scene, with his cry of "AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS." Back-bones, have grown where wishbones formerly had full play; and we see many of those who had been regarded, and had come to regard themselves as "worms of the dust," rise up to read the sign of promise in the skies of God. Hope reigns where formerly there was dark despair. Courage now is occupying in Negro minds the place lately held by fear; and there is every indication that the viewpoint of the new and awakened Negro of the Twentieth Century, is more enlightened, more inspired, and clearer than at any other period during the last century or more. Answering those who criticise Marcus Garvey, let us say that after all, Marcus Garvey is human. Marcus Garvey has made mistakes. He like the rest of the human race knows hunger, is subject to pain, and to the sufferings which befall others of earth's mortals. But the fact remains that he has done more for the race of Negroes, in awakening them to a sense of the needs of the hour, and the possibilities which die before them; as well as the nieces, in their own hands for the solution of the great problems which confront them in every part of the world, than has been done for any people, any where, at any time, since the world began, except the teachings of Jesus Christ, which has affected all creation. Maligned, slandered, hated, imprisoned, spurned, despised, deceitfully betrayed, even by some of those whom he raised to place, and power Marcus Garvey pursues the even tenor of his way, teniously holding to the conviction that the time must come, when his dream of a race awakened, uplifted, quickened, inspired and completely emancipated, and an Africa redeemed will be an actuality. The courage of the Numidian lion is reflected in his stand for the cause of race and right. Again we see the spirit of Hamish halving over the fields of earth, and we hear the echoing cry, as the Negro senses victory. That illustrious daughter of Africa, Etchel T, Dunlap times her harp and sings to us "A modern Simon of Cyrene." He hears his cross of shame; But History will write his name, in corridors of lance. By dint of a proclamation signed by Abraham Lincoln, during a period of emergency in the course of the Civil War, Three Million Negro slaves were freed; and he thereby won for himself undying fame, and a place among the immortals. Queen Victoria of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of Greater Britain beyond the Seas, signed a proclamation which was the signal for the liberation of eight million slaves, of the same blood and land as those whom Lincoln freed. And the memory of Victoria the Good is revered all over the civilized world, wherever civilized men are to be found. But Marcus Garvey's task is of still greater magnitude, and of more far-reaching consequences to the people of our race, and more immediate benefit as well. Not for centuries has the Negro had such a hopeful and courageous attitude as he has at the present time. Never for a very long time has he ever dared to even vision a resumption of the glory that was Carthage. But with the coming of Garvey the scroll of time was parted before the waiting eyes of the race, and the Negro caught a vision that Time itself cannot erase. Long after the memories of Lincoln and of Victoria the Good-shall have passed into oblivion, the name of Marcus Garvey shall quicken the pulse of all mankind and lighten the vivid memories of a race that is determined to be free. Marcus Garvey will need no monument in bronze or marble to perpetuate his memory; for when we look at Africa-redeemed, and see again the free men as they shelter in her courts, and walk serenely on the golden shores of home; as they work in art and science, and marble, as they teach mankind to live; and they thunder forth the songs of triumph in their daily, manly tasks, every flashing eye will tell you, as they watch our ships come home, that no monument you raise up can half equal any of these. And the memory will linger, for "AFRICA WILL STAY FREE." PEACE AND NO PEACE INTELLIGENT, thinking men the wide world over must stand agast and wonder at the seeming denseness and stupidity of present-day world statesmen, who would lay claim to the highest places among the great men of earth. We see council after council meet. We hear of this conference und that conference. We hear of this agreement, and that agreement. We sit calmly and watch the deliberations of these assemblies who would parcel out the earth among them; and hear their hypocritical assurances of the dawn of an era of world peace; and we smile in derision, because we realize that all these professions of peace, and amity, and good will, are nothing more than smoke screens, which these high and mighty men themselves, can hardly dare to believe. Then why the deceit? We note that the conferences and various meetings while making arrangements for the domination and distribution of the lands of the people of other races, have not even taken the time or the opportunity, to consult these people, how, when, where, and by whom they shall be governed. Now this is in direct contravention to the much heralded cry of the great and powerful white nations of the world, during the days of the Great World War, happily now ended; in which they declared that "self-determination for smaller peoples" should be recognized as an inalienable right of all mankind. But the World War is now history, and there is no longer any need to enlist the sympathy of the darker peoples to aid in the struggle for the domination of the world; and "self-determination for smaller peoples" has been interpreted to mean, "self determination for smaller white peoples." Now, if the right to decide how, and by whom they shall be governed can unquestionably be accorded to any small group of people, such as the Serbs, the Poles, the Irish, the Bulgars, and others, how much more can such a right not belong to the larger groups of mankind, no matter to what race they belong; especially when, for centuries, nay, more, from time immemorial they have shown the ability to so govern themselves, have demonstrated their fitness to excel in the science of government, and have taught men to do so? But the statesmen of the world have shown an amazing lack of foresight, hind sight, or any kind of sight, and go on blindly ignoring the self-evident right of the other peoples of the world; yet fooling themselves with the cry of "Peace, when there is no peace." They are deaf to the eloquent warnings of the protests and agitations of the darker peoples of the world; and they are blind to the gathering storm. Thinking men everywhere can read the signs of the tines; and sense the evident unrest among the darker peoples, because of the ignoring of their rights, rights for which white nations, on their own side have been willing to fight and die. But the statesmen of the world cannot see, or purposefully will not see. Therefore these overlords of creation are due Tor a rude awakening. Some fine day this world will awake to face the greatest war in the history of things; and then late,—too late, white statesmen will realize that the peoples of the darker races have souls; have rights and dare to defend them; have honour, and will die to uphold it. Again the hypocritical cry reverberates around the globe, and comes back to haunt the dreams of world statesmen of the present day, who pride themselves on being astute, and cunning, and patriotic; but the coming years will find men rising up among their own kind to curse their memories, and wish they had never been born. The Negro peoples of the world are numbered among the darker races. We have been petitioning. We have been pleading. We have been coaxing. And we have taken these peaceful treasures, not because we are afraid to fight and die, if need be, for the securing of the rights that are undeniably ours, but because we love peace, and because we love humanity. But if pleadings and petitions, and coaxings prove to be of no avail, we are taking this opportunity to say in unflattering tones, to all mankind. "There will be no peace on earth, till every vestige of oppression, and hardship, hindrances to our progress, and every obstruction is swept from our pathway, in short till the Negro race is totally emancipated, and Africa is free." Who are the divinely appointed custodians of the homeland of our fathers? Who are the God-appointed rulers of the earth? Let them stand, forth and he counted. If there is to be self-determination for the white peoples, then there is also going to be self-determination for the great race of Negroes, four hundred million strong. We have the most glorious cause for which men have ever dared to die; and we shall not refuse to die, when the time comes; in order to secure for ourselves and to posterity the rights that belong to us as well as to any others of the sons of men. We shall throw our battle flag to the breezes of the age. We shall march to freedom with our glorious equipage. We shall blow our trumpet blasts round the throne of greedy men, for the race is marching on. We shall gather from the east. We shall gather from the west, from the farthest bounds of the earth, and shall wage war 'gainst oppression; and gainst every form of wrong. We are coming, Great Jehovah, four hundred million strong. We are today steeling our souls, and building up the true qualities of a courageous manhood; for we are aware that we shall be called upon to face the most gruelling opposition that men have ever had to face. But when that time comes we shall be ready, and shall echo forth the cry, "There shall be no peace on earth till Africa is free." Editorial Opinions of the Negro Press The suggestion of Mr. Thikham should not be shelved by Mr. Hoover, because an eminently practical engineer as he is, should see the profligacy with which huge sums are spent to enforce Frohbition, forced upon the nation by the moral Pecisianists of the late Confederacy. Mr. Hoover should recommend the matter of enforcing Amendments which have to do with such highly important things as civil liberties and the national investigation committee. He should not waste the nation's fruits of Republican prosperity in a vain effort to carry out Woodrovian excesses, which are calculated to impair the rights of all the citizens, to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Greek, the Jew, the Hungarian, the Pole, the Bohemian, the Swede, the Russian and in fact every foreigner who looks white and who chooses, as his profession, the practice of medicine or nursing goes to City hospital to finish. Not a word is said pro or con. What must we conclude? Finally, the color of his skin is the stamp or approval. The Negro, who, as everyone knows, has never proved a traitor nor dislodged him, who has suffered and spilled his blood, who has served of this country and the flag, must resort to "emergency" councilmanic action and public sentiment for those essentials for which he fourth. Why is this necessary? Muzzled? Mr. Anthony Overton of Chicago, may know his oats in banking and insurance, but his assertions that nine-tenths of the Negro press is muzzled and controlled by the white race, shows that he still has something to Main newspapers. If Mr. Overton would turn aside from his adding machine long enough to read papers like the Philadelphia Tribune, the Kansas City Call, the Pittsburgh Courier, the Washington Tribune, the St. Louis Agus, the Boston Guardian, the Negro World, the Norfolk Journal and Guide and even papers published in the far South like the Houston Informer, the Oklahoma Black Dispatch and the East Tennessee News, he would find that the race press is more independent and courageous than ever before in history. Mr. Overton certainly should know his, own home city better than any outsider, but we venture the assertion that his exaggerated fulminations are not true even of Chicago. The Baltimore Afro-American. "Better look out if you win that race." Henry Clarke, Negro actor and athlete, was warned with these words. It was a crude effort to afflict him by fear and keep him from winning in the 100-yard track meet dash last Saturday night. Henry Clarke was not a coward. When the signal came for the start of the race, he put his best into the contest and won in spite of the threatening words of white rowdies who stoned him to death. "Better look out if you win that race." Negro people, all these years, have been desplaced because they dared to win in the race of life and learning. Their foes once made the people believe that Negroes were so inferior that they could not win in any field of action. But time brought about great changes in the false statements. Negroes dared to enter every field of endeavor. Negroes received highest honors in every game of contest, in life. Prejudice seemed to grow in wider and stronger measures of opposition. "Better look out if you win that race." Did it prevent Henry Clarke from PUTTING HIS BEST INTO THE CONTEST? Did he cowardly oblige the halter of colored people? Did he have no business to enter a contest or wanted by ignorant rowdies? He was wanted by the best of people. He is more noble than than thousands of living Negroes. —The St. Luke Herald. WEEKLY HEALTH TALKS By J. R. WILLIAMS M. D. L. R. C. P. & S. EDINBURGH Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Department of Interior, will be the Howard University. Commencement speaker on June 7, 1929. Dr. Wilbur was born in Bodsonboro, Iowa, son of Dulight L. and Eda M. Wilbur. His father was captured at Harper's Ferry by Stonewall Jackson and later studied law at the University of Michigan. In his early youth the family moved to California where young Wilbur grew to Manhood, completed his high school training, and entered Leland Stanford Aslun University. As a student of modest means he found it necessary to work his way through college, and entered employment as a laboratory assistant. At the same time when another Statsford student found means of self support as a laundry agent, though, now, President of the United States. Dr. Wilbur was a classmate of Will Irwin whose description of the Secretary states that even in those uncritical days of youth he used to mark his resemblance to what adolescent Lincoln must have been, that in spite of his frail looking attenuation he had something of Lincoln's immense physical power—a matter, probably, of nervous force and leverage. Mr. Irwin's description of Dr. Wilbur continues. "He had common sense to a supreme-degree, but common sense infused with idealism. He had a liking and an understanding of men, and an immense tolerance even for those whose moral standards differed from his own moralness of outlook. He was tremendously aware when he cared to be, and he had a driving home his points with a humorous story or a flash of wit. He was and is one of the wittiest men I know." Upon the completion of his college course young Wilbur entered upon the study of medicine in the Cooper Medical College in San Francisco which has since become affiliated with the Leland Stanford University. Here, again, he found employment as a means of support, this time, as a teacher of physiology. After his graduation in 1899 he practiced medicine for a period of ten years in which he made a reputation as a physician of high quality. Leland Stanford Dr. Wilbur had another parallel experience to that of Professor Hoover as it was in a laboratory at Harvard. Then he met a fellow student, Marguerite May Blake, who later became wife, just as Herbert Hoover had met Henry, now Mrs. Hoover. The four former students have been fast friends for more than thirty years. It is said of Dr. Wilbur that by 1903 he had earned enough money to indulge his ambition for study abroad. He spent a year in London and at Frankfurt-on-the-Main, in Germany. In 1909, he again returned to Europe for a year of study at the University of Munich. Upon his return to America, at the age of thirty-six, he became Professor of Medicine and Dean of Cooper Medical College; which position he held until 1916. During this period he was elected President of the American Medical Association. At the age of forty Dr. Wilbur became President of Leland Stanford University where he won distinction as an educator. His stunt was that of securing funds for the increased expenses of maintenance and for the building program which the growth of the university had made imperative. Dr. Wilbur's administration at Leland Stanford was interrupted by the World War when he enlisted with Herbert Hoover in the United States Food Administration. It is said by Dr. Wilbur's biographer that it was during this period that he was seen to develop into a public speaker of rare ability and with many a touch which again was Lincolneseque, in its suggestion. Since the war Dr. Wilbur has been associated with many national and international movements. He was Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Survey of Race Relations on the Pacific Coast, which had to do with problems of Chinese, Japanese, and Mexican assimilation and presided as Chairman over the meetings of the Institute of Pacific Relations, held in Honolulu in 1925 and 1927. It is becoming quite fashionable for the community to take cognizance of its health. And well enough, so, for health brings comfort, happiness, beauty, wealth and innumerable other graces. The man, Christian Jesus, when tabernaaked in the fish, went bent doing good which consisted principally in making the people healthy. The majority of individuals who performed notable deeds were able to do so because their health was above par. Health can be maintained by attending to some simple laws as breathing, fresh air, baking exercise, masticating slowly wholesome food, the frequent cleaning of the whole body, working hard and resting in proportion, drinking of water between meals, sleeping from arsenic to eight bears, doses worrying given conditions one cannot impose and having one bowel movement each day. As a rule we do not prize our good health until it is lost. There are many people who are going about their daily task and are unconscious In 1879 Dr. Wilson was President of the California State Conference of Social Agencies and in 1898, of the Council of Social and Health Agencies of San Francisco. He has been a Trustee of the Motherfair Foundation since 1833 and is Chairman of the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association. Among other associations with which he has been affiliated are the American Academy of Medicine of which he was President, and of the Association of American Medical College of Chicago of Interior as Secretary, Dr Wilbur becomes Patron-ex-officio of the Howard University Board of Trustees. Governor of Virgin Islands Howard Visitor Governor-Waldo Evans, of the Virgin Islands, visited Howard University on Wednesday and addressed the students and faculty in Andrew Rankin Chapel, at the University Assembly Hour. The Governor's visit was in response to an invitation by Dr. D. E. Wiseman, a native of the Virgin Islands and an alumnus of Howard University, who for a long period of years was a Lutheran minister in the city of Washington. While at Howard the Governor was greeted by officers and members of the International Club and expressed delight in seeing so many natives of the Islands in the various departments of the University. It was stated by Wiseman that although the natives of the Islands are opposed to the administration of its affairs by the United States Navy, Governor Evans has won great favor through his kind and considerate attitude toward the inhabitants and his genuine interest in the Island's welfare. Governor Evans is visiting the United States on a two months' vacation after the completion of a term of two years as 'Governor of the Islands, after which he will return for at least another year. Mock Trial at Howard University Law Class Decided in Favor of Plaintiff On last Tuesday evening students of the senior class of Howard University Law School conducted a mock trial in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church of Washington. The case on trial was Langdon versus Langdon, petition for absolute divorce, which was decided in favor of the plaintiff. The program was presented under the auspices of the Tau Delta Sigma Fraternity and all the benefits of the occasion were contributed to the boys' and girls' club of the church. Professor George E. C. Hayes presided as judge. Council for the plaintiff, Cecil Robinson and Elvin Davenport; for the defendant, Nathan Dobbins and Sherman Priestley. Howard Glee Club in Concert The Men's Glee Club of Howard University, under the direction of Professor Roy W. Tibbs, presented a concert last Thursday night, in Andrew. Rankin Memorial Chapel, the eighth and last of the Lecture-Recital Series. The following comment was made by Berton Wisman, musical critic of the Washington Star: "The Glee Club in performance plainly showed that intensive work had been required to present the varied program. Feeling, tone, and volume were the main assets of the club, although for close harmony it would be difficult, indeed, to find their superior. "A demonstration of ability on the part of the club was the rendition of Work's "Lullaby," sung in soft, melodious tones, and "A Plainsman's Song," by Bias, brought out the volume, spirit and quality of the voices when under strain. "Lester Dorsey, baritone soloist, was the delight of the evening. His singing displayed remarkable talent. Mr. Dorsey, although a baritone, achieved passages in the tenor range with great case and clarity. "One of the most beautiful and special Wheel" a spiritual, was of special interest to the audience." Flsk Defcats Howard in Debate WASHINGTON, D. C. April 27. In the auditorium of the Medical School at Howard University, Fisk and Howard debated the question, "Resolved. That the United States should Recognize Soviet Russia." Fisk receiving the decision of the Howard defended the affirmative answer by Mercer Mancee '31, and Robert Dauridge '29. Fisk having the negative, was represented by W. D. Hawkins, Jr., '30, and W. A. Fingall, '29. that ill health is making an inroad on them. Such usuingly boast of not seeing a physician for years. When the urgent necessity does present itself, too often the only consolation obtainable is a shaking of the head from the physician. The Chinaman shut behind his walls for ages, from western civilization knows the secret of longevity. He never looks old. He visits his physician when he, is well. Let us take a leaf from his book. See your family physician at least twice a year. It is insipensive in the end. Demand a thorough examination. He is quite capable of fulfilling your request. Leave the worry to him and then go jauntly along the sweet race of life. Survey of Negro Business The National Negro Business League announces an article in May first issue of Forbes, concerning the recent survey of Negro business. Posterity will deal out the verdict untimelyly, and unmercurily against the principal and associated civilized nations so-called, who recently, through envy, fear and jealousy did bind themselves together into a world court, if it should be so termed, (as they say), to outlaw war—but as usual they have failed, not hopelessly, but criminally so. That is why posterity; if not the present generation must rise up throughout the entire mainland constitutionally and discard so-called diplomats and politicians and take things into their own hands, else we will allow them not only to destroy themselves but the entire civilized structure, if not the human family, complete. Time in and Time Out.. Time in and Time Out. They, the statesmen, have completely failed us and fell down at every turn, especially at times when we, the common people, were keyed up to expect to receive the blessings of universal peace and good will toward man everywhere. But instead of worshiping the Prince of Peace, they have turned in contrast to their preachments. In direct contravention to these high, sounding statements and connive with the god of Greed to worship at the shrine of the god of Mars. Is why the Geneva confab has failed, failed because they lacked confidence, confidence in themselves, confidence in the human race, and confidence and faith in the God of the universe. That is why Mussolini distrusts France, and France distrusts England, and England distrusts both, and Germany and Russia distrust everyone, and Japan and the East look with distrust upon the designs of the entire West. Then it is not far afield when one prophesies that the outcome will be a race in competitive armaments resulting in the most destructive catastrophe the world has ever seen or known. God of humanity, arise, save us from a vainglorious and bombastic Mussolini, who only lives the world as a Roman empire through Roman doom. From the wiles of the dromiac majesties of schemes, Grey of Faloden and David Lloyd George, the English past masters at the game of world control, save us, oh God, from the Hearst, Britten and Tardieu type who would stop at nothing in making the attempt to make either Paris or Washington the capital of the world. Rank jealousy for world trade?Ances control permeated everyone at Geneva. That is why the disarmament conference failed and all such following conferences will follow suit, unless we change both our system of distrust and attitude toward one another. India British domination in India is not half as colorful, nor as comfortably entrenched as the Associated Press depicts, not at all. Britain is not at home there. To the contrary, we learned from reliable sources that because of the intense political unrest the English have become extremely nervous over the shaping of events there. England knows better than anyone else, at least she feels it that the East will put the West to bed. Already she is looking with disfavor and fear upon the success of the Nationalist movement there, but doesn't dare move a finger at this time against it; she is playing for time, thinking that the cohesive forces now at work will soon be spent, not knowing her East as well as she should. Britain in India will find herself one of these near mornings doomed to a rude awakening, the result of which will be heard around the world. The East is fatalistic, and knows how to wait: and it is not too much if we say England will find herself beaten, badly beaten in the game of waiting, for the East knows that time is its best friend and can afford to wait. What if tomorrow Ghandi decides that the time has come to use his accepted and god-like influences in the opposite direction? And the co-monument ahead of spending itself engulfed in entire clashes with the Imperialism of the West? There-will be a funeral-airight, but not of the East. That is why the British officialdom in India is very nervous and the entire white world is jumpy over coming events now being indicated throughout the East. AmericanNegroes ought to read the report on conditions and needs in the Virgin Islands made by Representative William A. Ayres, Democrat, of Kansas, with special interest. Congressman Ayres recently returned from a trip to the Islands as a member of a congressional committee that went, there at the close of the last session of Congress to ascertain why the United States has to appropriate thousands of dollars annually to maintain these insular possessions. What Mr. Ayres has to say regarding climatic and economic conditions there affords interesting speculation on probable opportunities to colored Americans. Norfolk Journal & Guide.

BY ORDER UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION OF THE WORLD MARCUS GARVEY President-General KINGSTON, JAMAICA, B. W. I. HENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS Assistant President-General Common Sense and The Bible Last week I gave a brief outline of Religion, and at this writing I shall try to cover this subject, "Commensanes and the Bible," in as few words as possible. The Bible, the book of books, read by most people, but understood by few, has a pleasing message for you. Some people do not care to learn its hidden truths, and to such, the Bible is a closed book. Now, let us see what the Bible is: "The Bible is the history (sacred to some and profane to others) of men who discovered, studied, and recorded, what is religion." Those men prepared and left for you a wealth of priceless information on anything man can think of; whether its aviation, psychology, fine arts, science, law, health, advertising, architecture, education, commerce, graft, greed, slavery, crime and etc. You have everything to gain when you understand the true interpretations of the several important passages of the scriptures concerning the Negro; yesterday, today and tomorrow. While it is very easy for you to learn the truth about yourself in the Bible; you will have to put your commonsense into play. When I say commonsense, I mean just that; and I should like, you to take me at my word. I shall try to define "Commonsense" and I want you to get it right. COMMONSENSE IS Commonsense is sense which is not common. Observation, judgment, tact, patience, broadmindedness, willpower and originality are essential factors, if you are to demonstrate a good supply, of this sense, which is not common. We shall use a little commonsense as we turn to the great book and its message. We must get at the truth: Words are either alive, dying, dead, or resurrected. Furthermore, the derivation of the meaning of a word should be considered, especially, when you are reading the Bible. The words fear, quick, hath, Ham, spirit, ghost, word, replenish, et cetera, have to be treated like people, when you want to get at the true old and new meanings of these overworked groups. For instance, the word "quick," in ancient times meant "a living thing (alive)," as in "the quick and the dead." Today we use "quick" to denote action—speed. I have been asked, whether or not, the Bible contradicts itself. To my mind, te judic, I should say, chacun a son gout. I must admit, however; that the first five chapters of Genesis seem to have been written by three different writers. You can detect the duplicity in Genesis—aparters—five and five. The writers of the books in the Bible seem to have recorded their findings in contradiction to each other. It stands to reason that every one who reads this article, will not be able to re-write its substance in the same style and theme. No doubt, you know that no two things are alike, psychologically, philosophically, aptly, itually and otherwise. And, the writers in question were no exceptions to the law of God. To read your Bible to learn how to scold your family, neighbors and friends, or to know how to die and, to make others miserable, is contrary to the "law and the prophets." The time has come that every Negro must stop reading the Bible upside down. The book does not make worms out of its white readers, not its teachings were aimed at the Negro race. Negroes for centuries dominated the world! Negro superhuman deeds are recorded in almost every book of the old Testament. Arise you sleepy warrior, and know, that you are your own enemy! When you read about Moses, let his achievements inspire you to start something. When you remember Aaron, think of the willingness of stars to divulge their secrets to you, as they did to your black brother. As you read the history of Nimrod, allow your thoughts to go forth with love, to your colored empire builders. And, reading Job, learn that all peoples have, like individuals, had to go through the tests of growth. David has been dead centuries ago. We think kindly of him, because he did something worthwhile. You may read about David and all the great men and women as mentioned in the scriptures; but unless you allow yourself to be an exact miniature of God; until you feel sure that every Bible character had no more "pull" with God than you; and that the same life force existed in their day and age, is evident in you—you are not saving your soul alive. Why must St. Paul's oratorical powers interest you, if you cannot receive some benefit through saving yourself and others from a life of shame? Being proud to mention, Simon the crossbearer, was a Negro, does not add one iota to the Negro status. To believe that Moses, Aaron, the pharohs, Ham, Cannan, Cush, Nimrod, Solomon, the Queen of Sheba, Christ, and others were Negroes will help some people, but to the honest minded Negro, the very thought of the preceding immortals and their works, when compared with Negroes of today, calls for commensense, Negro men and women; doers, not dreamers; fighters, not slackers; dauntless, not cowards. The Bible teaches us two important things; 1-Man must rule, or be ruled; he must lead, or be led. 2-Truth never changes, but our understanding of it does. "Do not forget, Verbum sat sapienti (A word to the wise is sufficient). Let this remain with you: 'There is no room in Heaven for spineless, weak, non-progressive souls.'

No. 584, held on Sunday, April 14, 1829, was called to order by the President, Mr. A. A. Lewis, at 3:30 P. M. All officers were present. Opening song, "From Greenland's Tey Mountains," was led by the Chaplain, Brother W.-M. Homes. Prayer was read by the Lady President, Mrs. Bessie Watkins, followed by Scripture reading by President A. A. Lewis. W. R. Watking, our advocate, read the front page of The Negro World; the president being so Our esteemed contemporary, the Sierra Leone Guardian, has done good service in drawing attention to the proposed demolition of the arts course at Fourrah Bay College by the principal; the Rev. J. L. C. Horstead, M.A. Fourrah Bay College in the educational annals of West Africa stands very high in the estimation of the people. It is well-known that men like the late Bishop Crowther, Bishop Johnson, Rev. Quaker and other illustrious names in British West. African history received their education at the college, and helped to bring the African prominently to the notice of the international world as competent to take his place in the highest culture attainable by any people. The arts course has been one of the strongest points of Fourrah Bay College since the days of Bishop Crowther and others, and one is particularly struck with the high cultural tone of Sierra Leone as noticed at the present day. Fourah Bay College has served West Africa well in that, since its affiliation with Durham, it has enabled many a student to take his arts degree on the spot and to branch off to different technical and professional work. All this has been possible because Fourah Bay College devoted particular attention to the preparation of its students in the arts course. To propose, therefore, at this time of day to do away with the arts course must naturally raise a storm of opposition and, what is worse, lead to a suspicion as to the real cause of the suggestion. It is the fimsiest of pretexts to suggest that there are no men available to teach in the arts course, when it is well known that there are many graduates turned out by the college itself who are competent and available for the work in hand. Here in the Gold Coast it has been drilled into us that if only Achimota, could produce its own graduates, trained after its own manner, the teaching problem would be solved. Surely it would be the saddest reflection upon the work of the great pioneers in the history of Fourah Bay College to suggest that its own graduates are incompetent to carry on the work of their predecessors. Many of the most eminent scholars have now and again criticized with merciless logic the educational ideals of men like Dr. Jesse Jones for the African. They point to the fact that from the nature of the criticism of Dr. Jesse Jones, and those who are of his way of thinking, the idea is to provide for the African a type of education which would fit him well in the economic relations between him and the European. It reminds one of the African graduate in an American home, recently referred to in the press, who, notwithstanding his attainments, was considered in his proper place as a menial servant. That exactly illustrates what may be at the back of the minds of some Europeans who are gone on the matter of African education. Of course, it is not the African's intention to remain forever a hewer of wood and drawer of, water for the European; and once that is clearly understood by all concerned, the task of both educators and their proteges will be considerably easier. If, on the other hand, in this matter of the education of the African, the idea should grow and prevail in the African mind that it is designed to force a course of training upon him which would chain him forever to the economic wheel of the European, then will open up a struggle which must eventually end in the triumph of the African for the simple reason that no foreign nation has ever yet succeeded, in the history of the world, to retard the intellectual progress of the people when once it has gained a certain momentum. In the history of Africa such a momentum has been gained by reason of the keen race-consciousness that prevails amongst the African people wherever they dwell. They realize that their salvation lies in education, in its broadest and widest sense. They have tasted of the liberalizing effects of wide culture. They have seen in actual life the potency of their men of culture in world affairs. They have known of the power that knowledge confers, and they are not willing to let go. Therefore it is a serious thing to disregard the trend of this race consciousness and to seek to impose limitations. For the foregoing reasons, and much more that may be advanced, we think it highly impolite for Principal Horstead at this time of day to have aroused the suspicion of Africans as to the trend of European ideals for the African in matters educational; and we trust, he will see his way to review his decision.--The Gold Coast Leader.

The race will honor King Vidor, director of the classic feature, "The Big Parade," who has opened the gates of the screen drama to the Negro actor, just beginning to win real recognition on the stage. This is the real Significance of "Halleujah," Metro Goldwyn-Mayer's great talking drama, the first of all Negro drama in the history of the screen. Our actors, who have scored, no heavily in the new film and have written a new page in screen history, have been gathered from here, there and everywhere. From Broadway shows from vaudeville, from cotton fields, from school-rooing, they came. Some are veterans of the stage, some are mere devices at the art of entertainment and, for most of them, it is their first venture into the world of film art. Victoria Spivey, noted "blues" singer, whose records are heard and imitated the counts over, had never been on the stage, yet we learn that she is one of the cleverest actresses in the entire cast. The old "Dad" in the picture is Harry Gray, he was born in slavvy and is now nearly 90 years old. When freedom came, through the hand of Lincoln, he, like a viral number of the slaves, set out to prove himself.

IRED of pretending, LeClerc restored the plantations to former owners and ordered chattel slavery established again. worthy of the new sphere into which he was thrown. He has been tincerant pregnant and editor, and has followed many other callings in his career. This is his first experience as an actor—but no one, watching him on the screen, could ever deter it. Hundreds of actual cotton workers from along the Mississippi appear, both in the cotton field scenes and in the great baptical service on the river, where total immersion "as is" is shown in an exact replication of such an affair. The picture was made in the cotton plantations about Memphis, Tennessee, along the banks of the "Father of Waters," on Escale street in Memphis (made famous by W. C. Handy's "Beale Street Blues") and in the studies at Colt City, where at the studios at Carver City, where on the great sound stages the Negro spirituals and other songs were rendered by the famous Dixie Jubilee Singers; where Daniel Haynes; whose resonant bass was heard on Broadway in "Old Man River" in "The Show Boat," sang his solos, and where the dialogue was recorded for the interior scenes. "The hero," "Zeke," is played by Daniel Haynes, formerly of "Show Boat," "Tang Tang," understudy of Charles Gilpin, accustomed by some critics as one of the greatest actors on the stage. Haynes has a remarkable background. He is a graduate of two universities: Morris Brown and Chicago. He started his career as a Baptist clergyman, then became a writer and finally, by accident, found himself in a stage role. The heroine, Nina May McKenny, a beautiful brows, comes from New York's "Blackbirds," of 1825. Hereford she then been a dancer, but she has proved herself to be an excellent emotional actress. She is only 18 years of age and is fitted with the manicured enthralm of youth. From present indications, she has a brilliant future. William Fountaine came from vancouver to play the villain; Fannie Belle DeKnight from a long career on the stage in Behascar shows such as "Lalia Rollie"—Everett McGarry was in a Memphis high school, and did school drama, she proved a "blackout" as the brother of the hero. "The three clever children are known in their home of Memphis as "Half Pint," "Gin Hickey" and "Bright Ball." They were picked up by Vidor while dancing for pennies in front of a Memphis hotel. mark afterwards, "There is a deep undercurrent of Vidor never rehearsed them atren- ously, in fact, he knew enough to 'that brings to, the screen an abshe- don the cotton workers, cast them in 'bits' lately new type of drama in them. COLOR CAPTURES AMERICA and get perfect performances. 'Acting seems to strike a responsive chord in the hearts of these people—in fact, they don't act, but literally live their characters. In the wake scenes and in the baptism the extras actually achieved a note of religious hysteria, under the spell of Haynes' voice, as he preached actual sermons to the crowds.' "You see, I am a clergyman—I had so really, preach or it would have been irreverent," was the actor's remark afterwards. The New, Modernistic Tendency Driving "Pure White" from Everything—Lingerie to Literature By HEBA JANNATH In the past 30 years there has been a marked-change toward "Color" in the United States. Color is here used in its broadest sense to mean everything, from persons to innanimate objects, which is not white. There was a time when white was officially synonymous with purity (brides always wore white); with cleanliness (all kitchen utensils, bathroom, barber and hospital equipment were white); with honor (men were spoken of as being "white" not yellow); with morality (good women were said to be as "pure" as driven snow and bad men were said to be "bla bla aborted"); with religion (Jesus Although an Asiatic 'was always pictured with a blond-board, angels always wore white robes and had white wings and the soul was visualized as white, whereas the devil was pictured either as red or black). With the exception of the one phrase, "white-hotred," white always stood for the Good, the Beautiful, and the Pure. So much so that whenever people wished something to look better than it was they "whitewashed" it. Now, the widespread use of white to denote everything superior could not have been wholly accidental. It was rather an unconscious reflection in the speech of the country of color possessed by the dominant group. "LILY WHITE" These terms have been incorporated in the English language and, therefore, are still in use, but it is not reproworthy that they have not the same repute, they once had. Indeed, "lifty white" once used as a term of habitation has now reversed its meaning. While if you said a woman was as "pure" as driven snow you would be laughed at today. But more significant than this is the new vogue of color in America. Color is now entering into every sphere of American life from lingerie to literature. Book titles having one word of color like "Black," "Brown" or "Bronze" sell the book more rapidly apparently than the same book, without this label. Colored choruses are so popular on Broadway that musical shows of inferior quality have been known to thrive, there with this one asset. Whereas, just a few years ago, household linen was without exception always white it is different now. Pink, yellow, blue, violet, red, brown, green and black bed and table linen are now the fashion. White china and glassware are frankly passe. Kitchenware, bathroom mixtures, barber and hospital equipment are all blossoming forth in vivid colors. Even bread, which one boasted of being white no longer does so but now boasts that the grain is "unseparated" and "whole" and that bread which wears a beautiful "tan" is growing in popularity. WHITE DISAPPEARING But the most startling change is in Milady's costume. No woman of fashion would think of wearing white undergarments today. Some stores do not even handle white silk hose any more and it was recently stated by one of our famous designers of fashion that all light colored hose are on the wane, such as flesh, pearl gray and sand, and that vivid and darker colors like red, green, yellow, brown and black will replace them. Wrists handkerchiefs even for men are out of style. Dark face, powders have taken the place of pink and white powders; even in the fairest Cauca- T ENS of thousands of blacks immediately rushed to the hills and joined Toussaint's forces, and the war waxed more bitter. let them do their own scenes—and had his cameras pick up the portions he wanted. Hence the absolute naturalness of the whole story. "It is a simple tale—whether you came from Harlem or Yazoo Bottoms. It is the story of a young Negro who goes wrong, repents, and finds salvation. Its action ranges from the cotton fields to a Negro gambling den—a "salvation train" of colored evangelists—and a love story worked through it. sign toilette "Rachel" is the preferable shade. The models showing the gowns in the smartest shops all wear the darker powders, the darker makeup combines with the vividly colored gowns much better than the lighter makeup. And with the paler gowns offers a fascinating contrast. Even the bridal costume, which heretofore was religiously white, is now shown in the more exclusive New York shops in rose blue and jonquil. Despite all the commotion about gentlemen preferring blondes the most popular movie actresses are brunettes. Clara Bow, Eve Daniels, and Dolores Del Rio, to name three of the most popular, are uncompromisingly "dark". There are, to be sure, several popular blondes, but the biggest box office pull is with the brunettes. And if this is so with the actresses it is much more so with the movie actors. Rudolph Valentino, it will be recalled, was dark. His most famous role was that of the "shank" in which he played the part of a native of Northern Africa, a people known to be, a mixture of Negro and Semitic blood. Valentino's successors are John, Gilbert, Raman Novaro, Rudyard Cole, and Richard Dix, all brunettes. COLOR AND RACES The contours of a country are always a reflection of the group in power. The new interest in color here points to the fact of a rising power among the darker races in the population. In the last 30 years the Philippines, Hawaii, Guam, the Virgin Islands, Samoa, Porto Rico, Cuba, San Domingo, Haiti, Nicaragua, and the Canal Zone have come under the protection of the United States, all having Colored populations, either in the majority or in the minority, all being non-Nordic in population. Add to this the 12,000,000 Negroes of the United States and the Indians here and in Alaska and it will be seen that the power of color was vastly increased in the last 30 years. The very presence of this large body of Colored dependencies, even if they are at present dominated by the Nordic, has diluted America's whiteness. And even among the whites the brunette has been for 100 years on the increase. Whereas, in the first census 55.6 percent of the white population were of the Nordic stock, by 1900 the ratio had fallen to 65.1 per cent. And now with the increased immigration since then of Russians, Slavs, Mexicans, and Italians it is very much lower. 7 - SEN + RY LITTLE W - ND APE + OWN YS + VE 3 RE + K + LEST OUS + M T + S T + WN What Individual Has Contributed Most to the Progress Of the Negro Race In America? For instance, I have seen Haynes no unstrung in emotional scenes that he had to leave the set; and have seen crowds in actual hysteria under the lash of their emotions. It is this quality that we caught and that opens up a great new field for screen drama with these newcomers to the screen. "We all felt," comments Haynes, "that our own success in the picture meant nothing, but that we were probably opening up a new field for those who are to follow us. So we really had a deep interest in the work. Perhaps, if it does what we hope, it will help the world to understand our race." AMERICA So apparently the new interest in color is not just a passing vogue but has come to stay and is significant of the changing complexion of America. There were between 1830 and 1850 a number of prominent Negroes who ministered to the needs of the Negro race. Among, them were Ira. Aldridge, the successful Shakespearean actor; Edmondia Lewis, the sculptor; Edwin M. Banister and William H. Simpsons, painters of promise, and several others.

Cartoonist Mates "Big Time" Charley & "Hot Boy" ```markdown ``` SPANISH SECTION El comercio con Cuba es de gran importancia con este país, y especialmente necesario para el agricultor norteamericano, declarar el señor Herbert C. Lakin, presidente de la Cuba Company, quien acaba de regresar de una visita a la Halabana, donde fue recibido por el presidente Machado. El mas importante de todos los movimientos por el enaltecimiento de una raza llama a su elemento con mente preclara, gran corazon y verdadera fe para que coopere a la realización de su propósito. "La sexta—convención internacional proxiina a celebrarse en la isla de Jamaica confiere alto honor a uno de los jardines del mar Caribe. Punto de reunión de la representación universal de nuestro elemento. El Presidente General de la Organización toca el clarin de adhesión a una gran causa." El señor Lakin rehúsó dar los detalles de lo que discutió en dicha entrevista, pero manifestó que el tema preferente fue el del grancel de azúcar, lo que era muy natural, puesto que el señor Lakin representó a los productores cubanos y norteamericanos de azúcar cubano en las audiencias en Washington ante el comité de medios y arbitríos de la camara. Déclaro, sin embargo, que toda especie, que indica una hostilidad por parte del general Machado a los Estados Unidos o al presidente Roover, o al congreso es pura invención. Dijo el señor Lakin: Puedo decir, sin embargo, sin violar la confianza del general Machado, que el declararo, en la manera más sincera y enufatica, que cree que el propósito de aumentar el arancel de azul fue iniciado sin una realización plena del prejudicio que aearreará a Cuba. Ahora espera el presidente, serenamente, la disposición final de este asunto por el congreso, porque, según dice, siempre la encontrado que, a pesar de lo hablado en sentido contrario, los Estados Unidos al fin han continuado, sin amistad con Cubat y erge que así procedera siempre. Ha llegado la hora en la historia de nuestro pueblo en que es de imperiosa necesidad el servicio de su elemento conciente. El mundo que habitamos se organiza y reconstruye, preparándose para la gran batalla en la cual solamente ha de supervivir aquel que se halle en mejor estado de preparación. Do quiera fijemos nuestra vista en esta era de civilización, observamos a las razas reconcentrado sus facultados mentales en el qui vive. Vemos las huestes políticas ocupando sus respectivos puestos. Si dirijimos nuestra mirada hacia Europa, vemos al francés, al teutón, al anglo-sajón, al italiano; a todo grupo organizado bajo su propia dirección patrocinando lo mas sagrado—el medio mas eficiente para la fucha por su existencia. El señor Lakin dijo que encontró que Cuba pasa actualmente por una época sin prosperidad, debida al decaimiento del azúcar, el cual canso una reducción en los ingresos del gobierno. A pesar de esto Cuba esta combatiando a su crisis, tal como combatiando a las crisis muestras, cuando llegan. Cuba fue la primera nacion, que pagó lo que la prestamos durante la guerra para que pudiera producir azúcar para los aliados. En Italia un Mussolini toca la nota de acorde; en Francia un Briand surge como la representación del nacionalismo y del imperilismo francés; en Inglaterra notamos tres grandes liders representando tres grandes partidos políticos—Stanley Baldwin el conservador, Llyod George el liberal y Ramsey MacDonald el socialista. Mirando al Asia veinos en China y Japón nuevos liders arengando a sus pueblos respectivos, para hacer de esos países un sitio invulnerable entre las raza y naciones existentes. Dando media vuelta nos enfrentan los continente americano, donde ciento diez millones de habitantes de un país, observando la situación actual bajo un punto de vista de competencia, eligen a un hombre para presidente quien tiene por objeto hacer de su nación la más prepotente en el universo. Concentando el buen crédito de Cuba, en cuanto a sus enisiones, dijo que los bonos cubanos valen en el mercado casi los mismos precios que los de la Gran Bretaña, el Canadá, Suécia, Súfiza y Panamá, y que ni por un momento tendrá Cuba un crédito tan excelente si fuese Cuba o su presidente debiles, u hostiles a los Estados Unidos. En el programa de bien voluntad del presidente Hoover, dijo el señor Lakin, Cuba y el presidente Mahado son como guante y mano, y dijo que el servicio prestado por Mahado a nuestro galeríneo en la Habana (en la Conference Panamericana) ha constituido una obligación grande por parte de nosotros con el y con la república cubana. En el reino animal la especie mas fuerte devora a la mas debil, y lo mismo aconcece en el genero humano; la raza mas fuerte subyuga y oprime a la mas debil. Llegamos, por consiguiente, a la conclusión de que ha de sutgir una lucha titánica, una lucha por existencia, una lucha por pan, una lucha por poder, y en esa lucha todas las razas tratan de presentar la mejor preparación. Queda de parte de nuestro elemento, uno de los mayores grupos de la especie humana, el prepararse para la contienda que se avecina. Aquellos tienen sus liders, tienen sus hombres; nosotros necesitamos liders, necesitamos hombres; hombres de preclara inteligencia, hombres de gran corazon, hombres con verdadera fe, hombres de honradez incuestionable. Habiendo sido identificado con el desarrollo de Cuba desde hace 30 años, el señor Lakin observó que los listados Unidos tienen un interés en Cuba que excede en mucho su interés en cualquier otro país extranjero. Mientras Cuba produce azúcar, la mayor parte de sus compuestos se compran en los Estados Unidos. Para arruinar a Cuba por reducir el mercado para Shim más importante producto, "significaria" sacar un mucho más sinnoro de los híosillos de los agricultores nortamericanos, que un aumento en el arancel le produiría. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ocupa su puesto en esta era de competencia, no para luchar con Europa, Asia o el continente americano, sino para luchar por el resurgimiento del africano dentro y fuera de su continente. Los que temanos parte activa en este movimiento de progreso para nuestra raza, damos el toque de llamada para que a nuestras filas se adhiera todo elemento negro de ideas altruistas, con el objeto de guiar por linea, recta las masas de nuestro pueblo. Otra cuestión vital para los Estados se cuenta por el señor Lakin. En tiempo de guerra, los Estados Unidos necesitan la protección geográfica de la Isla de Cuba, y aman ahora mantiene una estación naval en sus plavas. Necesitamos azacar. Cuba así viene a ser una parte—tal vez la parte más importante, de la defensa de muestras costas. Nuestra relación amistosas con toda la América hispana descansan sobre la base de la actitud de Cuba. Si ella, o su gobierno tueses hostil, así serian unchas otras ngciones hispanoamericanas. Esta organización tiene cabida para dos mil lideres capaces de competir con la inteligencia del Briand. Lloyd George, Hoover, Mussolini, en denfensa del sacro ideal que dicha institución patrocina venciendo numerables obstáculos, a costa de mayores sacrificios. Es esta la hora de prestar el verdadero servicio; es esta la hora de dirijir nuestra barra de redención a puerta seguro. El capitán debe estar al timón y tener amplios conocimientos del niña y de la brujita, no importa enal sea su procedencia. Puede que eske sea un negro de Barbados, de Africa, de Jamaica, de Trinidad, de cualquier punto del archipiélago antillano o del continente americano. Nuestra causa simplemente aboga por el existimiento de verdaderos hombres. El Gran Napoleón presto sus meores servicios a Francia; sin embargo nació en la isla de Córsega. Aquellos que han prestado grandes servicios a la humanidad no lo han hecho bajo el punto exclusivo del sitio de su nacimiento, sino por la visión adquirida en la defensa de causas cultas, nobles y generosas. Es mas que alentador y de apreciarse que haya surgido un movimiento de esta indole; movimiento enalteredor que nos guía a un gran objetojeto, pues en el curso de muestra existenciñ nos hemos visto siempre afrontando grandes barreras, sufriendo por consiguiente las peores consecuencias. "Es que acaso no nos damos cuenta de muestra suerte en tener un amigo tan firme como el general Machado?—De La-Prensa. N. Y.

CUENTO HISTORICO Por ELIGIO DILU (continuación) Dos años más tarde "Esnal" mandaba, una partida, de negros, esclavos bien, armados y mejor disciplinados, y se presentaron en la casa de la hacienda de Don Rafael, protextando "Esnal" que era, quien llevaba la representación de sus soldados, que un grupo de esclavos habían pensado en proporciónarle un gran negocio, y querían esplicarle el medio de obtener esclavos de otra hacienda, sin hacer desembolso alguno. Don Rafael vacilo y Doña Luz su esposa, vio, sin conocer el fondo de lo propuesto, que un milla más de bestia humana, irían a aumentar su capital, y tendrían mas, con quienes pasar sus horas de distracción, pegandoles con el "manati" y rociando alcohol en las espaldas de los esclavos. Don Rafael y Doña Luz, que vieron el negocio brillante, se negaban a oir las pro- piones de los esclavos, por entender que los negros esclavos no teuar derecho a concebir ideas. Pero cuando "Esmal," les indicó el lugar donde estaba los esclavos esperando dolo y se dieron cuesta que la partida de negros eran todos sus esclavos y que estaban arumados, so dirigieron en union de "Esmal," a oir lo que desedaban. Al llegar Don Rafael en unon de su esposa y los dos bijos, Roberto y Mercedes, unos de los negros que llevaba marcado su rostro por el "manati" can el que le habían azotado, se adelantó, y cogiendo foras las manos a Don Rafael y a Dona Luz, dijo; Companeros; estos señores cobardes y desnaturalizados, marcaron mi rostro, después de coneter el crimen de sacarue de qui tierra (Africa) hicieron perder el cabor de mis padres, y este es el monguto de que nos paguen sus crueldades comedidas con nosotros; y levantado, su afilado machete de dejarlo sobre los robustos cuellos de los dos espinos a presencia de sus dos bijos, a tiempo intervino "Esalu" y con voz terna, sin mirar a sus amigos, dijo a sus compañeros; lerdonad a estas gentes, ricas de dinero y amas crueles, de sentimiento de biene; para que comprendan que a pesar de llevar en nuestros rostros las señales del latigo con la que nos han pegado, nuestro sentimiento, puro de nuestro suelo africano, es perdonar a quienes como ellos, no merecen el cosa, que el caligro de la "Ley del Tallion" "Soltadillos y decide; que h sido llamados ante nosotros, para que nos den nuestra carta de libertad, apesar de que nuestros libres como ellos en nuestra amada tierra africana. El negro que sirida a los años y que pretendia desegrar el machete sobre los cruces y estupidos personales distinguidos, duches de esa detación de moles negros, eruel tio de "Elegant" el que lo alentó después que a la llegada de los hijos desposes que a la llegada de los hijos de los años, le hicieron acostarse hasta aljajo, para que por sobre su espalda pasaran los señoritos y no se ensuciaran los calzados de lado, ni necesar que no solo se ensuciaba el traje de "Esnal" sino que era vezado. "Esneiegro, tio de "Esnal" llevaba por nombre "Yuionoris". Decía este, que el tiempo que el viyia era de regalo, pues le parecia extrano la escena que se desarrollaba preparada por el, no pudicen acumular por más tiempo en silencio las turturas y crucifides a que habia sido sometido por esas gentes criminales, desde que lo arrancaron de su tierra africana, para esclavizarado. Que durante el viaje decia "Yuionoris"; le dio fiebre, y entonces sus años que el habia adquirido sin su voluntad, mandaron lo arrojarían al mar; pero protejido por una soga que olvidida por los marinos del vapor, ilevaba, a rastro el barco, se aggraró a ella y subió, y cuando to bacian ahogado, el viyaja oculto en el mismo barco, y al llegar al puerto, se personó a Don Rafael, y este al llegar a la casa de la bacienda, mando la batizuran con 25 azotes, habiendo pasado por toda chace de cruelidades. "Esnal" esencchio todo el relato hecho por su tio, y lo abrazo, sigificandole; que por el recuerdo de sus padres, a químico no consoñó por-la crueldad de esas gentes, petdonara a cesos infelices, de almas crueles. Y al terminar, "Esnal," Ynionoris, con un movimiento de calheza, acepto la petición de su sufrido y sacrificado sobrino. Al terminar Ynionoris, Don Rafael y Donía Luz, cutregaron, un tanto desgolados, la carta de libertad para todos sus esclavos. (continuará) Two Negroes sailed as missionaries to Africa in 1774. "HOW TO MAKE" $15-$20 Weekly With Your Typomitie Instructions Holded by Btu, Coin or Stamps THE EXCELSIOR PRESS 240 W. 125A 4, New York City ADVERTISING In this age the merchant who does not place his product directly at the consumer's fingerends finds his business at a standstill. All new methods of salesmanship include varying kinds of systematic advertising—both specialized and general. Rushing, busy people do not, have time to listen to the high-powered methods of the swiftly talking, salesman. Their time is valuable. They work and play—but they must read. For it is through scanning the morning paper, the weekly magazine or the monthly digests that they inform themselves of the world's doings. It is then that they happen to see some product well presented in an attractive advertisement that catches the eye, arouses the curiosity, or even convinces that some necessity of everyday life has been omitted. With all these valuable methods of reaching the reading public it is no wonder that newspaper advertising for 1928 broke all previous records. It is easily explainable why the average merchant had begun to increase his advertisement in those publications which best reach the market. General advertising has the virtue of identifying a particular brand or merchant with some type of article of wide consumption so that it is impossible to think of that, article or commodity without thinking of this brand or merchant. Very soon the brand or merchant becomes as well known as the commodity. Salesmanship then becomes a simple question of general advertising, over a long period of time. Specialized advertising calls attention to some particular brand of product or merchant for a limited time. It is temporary, but it is indispensable to the small merchant who can afford to advertise only in a simulated manner. Those morechants who have not yet learned the value of advertising are not keeping pace with the trend of modern business methods. It behooves them to make use of every channel to the consumer's mind. One of the best and surest ways is through the columns of widely circulated newspapers. They are calling for the entitlement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. It will be necessary for the Congress to enact special legislation for this purpose. When this is done all of us who are now living will have died. The Richmond Plane. READING The skillful reader gains not only the headlines of a newspaper, but he glances through its interior, observing the artistically displayed advertisements. He notices the striking and clever methods used by advertisers in attracting his attention to their products. He watches carefully for the commodity he has been seeking, for space time whether it be a book, a beautifier or a health improver. Newspapers inform not only of current events but of the latest and most scientific methods of self-improvement: be they physical, business, or social. It pays to keep "well-read" on every portion of the modern newspaper. Wins Scholarship NORFOLK, Var. P.

When He ascended from this earth he said that He was coming again and that to find every nation back in the land which He had prepared for him (them). The Jew has taken King at His Word and is looking to Palestine. Moses spoke to the Israelites and they heard him. Is not the black man's brain as good? Does he not believe in God's Word? Well, if so, then WAKE UP, for it is high time that every nation must be looking toward their home land. God's Word will not fail. Many men and daughters of Africa are now saying, "I haven't lost anything in Africa." They had better try to find something there for to THEM here they have nothing; all seems lost. God has always provided a leader for his people when they were in need of one; so for us He has sent MARCUS CARVEX, who is calling the black people together from all parts of the world. HEAR ME HUM!

The Republic of Liberia was the outgrowth of the American Colonization Society, established in Washington, D. C., in 1816. STOP WORRYING OVER G, O. P. AND JOIN THE U. N. L.A. To the Editor of the Negro World:—Too much controversy is being wasted over the future of the former Republican Negro leadership, which should merely confirm the conviction in the minds of all thinking Negroes that white people want to dominate and dictate all of their political issues. There once was a time when the Negro voter had no alternative; but today he may vote for that candidate or group of candidates who are in sympathy with the program of African Nationalism. When he does this, he is voting for his own interests and really getting something for his vote. African Nationalism is the biggest factor in the lives of the Negro peoples all over the world; if he remains in America or migrates to Africa, nothing can transcend the importance of this ideal. Until we consolidate our strength in one huge unit, our power will be greatly dissipated and weakened. The day has arrived when we need one strong Negro Party, and the only means of perfecting such a political organization is to line up with the U. N. L. A. ARTURI S: GRAY. As The World Revolves The inglorious sufferings of a race, in me find an outfit. God's cars are not deaf to the Negro's such. Shall the black man, some day, rise from the dust? Where for centuries, he has been thrust. Shall he rise from the ashes of his servitude, And in time make fitting, just rectitude? Doth not the grandeur of the past inspire In black hours a zenious fire? Doth not the history of the Pharoahs recall What caused the black man's empire to fall? God is not a sleep. As in the past, crushed die our pride. What race but ours would not betray their trust. Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down. Everyone eventually hits the ground. Tis a knotty problem.
