The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World Heaching the Heart of Negroes The Best Awakening Medium 'A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XXV.—No. 20. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1929 Inspired with Confidence and Hope That Great African Common- wealth Will Rise Upon Which Posterity Can Look With Pride Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: As we journey through life there rises before us the vision of a new world in the accomplishment of a new people. American Progress To glance back to the depth from which America has climbed to a place second to none among the nations of the world is to feel inspired with confidence and hope that out of what is called our dream will rise in the future a great African commonwealth upon which future generations will look with as much pride and satisfaction as the white American citizen of today does of his country. White Man's Country I say white American citizen because the pride and honor are his, in that whatever contribution we as a race have made to the progress of America was exacted of us, not of our free will, but by enforced conditions over which we had no control. It is true that in single instances we have voluntarily added our part to America's glory, but our white fellow citizens do not regard such a contribution as a title to the rights that we now claim under the Constitution. They have beyond the shadow of a doubt made it plain that America is a white man's country—discovered, pioneered and developed by him for the benefit of his generations. In the face of this feeling we endeavor to press our claims, but, with a preponderance of competitive strength against us, we feel that the battle is lost, and that is why we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association advance the program of a country of our own. Genius and Perseverance As I see before me the wonders and marvels of this American civilization, erected through the genius and perseverance of the white man, so do I feel encouraged that one day we will likewise duplicate a civilization of our own in Africa. Every Negro Should Find A Place in U.N.I.A.—Our Program Is Large Enough— Embraces Every Phase of Human Activity—Room For Every One to Play His Past—Says President-General Our Objective Should Be Definitely Fixed in Our Minds Should Work Steadfastly And Unceas ingly For the Attainment of Our Desires Our Children Shall Inherit Our Glory and Thus Give to the Race a Perpetuation of Thai Honor Worthy of the Abiest Humans American Progress The pictures of New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis, Los Angeles and San Francisco will inspire us to build like cities within the Commonwealth of Africa. In the pursuit of such an object we will find much to do, and that is why each and every Negro should find a place in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Our program is large enough and embraces every phase of human activity. There is room for every one to play his part, and that is why we make a common appeal to the four hundred million members of our race to gather under our standard. With a united purpose we can march forward, making our impress upon an observant world and carving a place for ourselves in the niche of human achievement. We who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association are full of hope. We feel happy to live in this age of progress and change, for while men of other races are endeavoring to promote their interest through the changes that are necessary, we also are determined to make a change that will elevate us to the standard of progressive humanity. Resistance and Opinion It is not expected that we will achieve the things we desire without resistance and opposition. The good worth while has always been accomplished through the daring and dashing perseverance of those of a set purpose. The progress of other peoples brought about through their organized ingenuity stand out as encouragements to us in the struggle that we are making to reach the top. Our objective should become fixed in our minds, and we should steadily work on without ceasing or without becoming distracted. Hope for Renaissance The Universal Negro Improvement Association hopes for a renaissance among us as a people that will include us among the world's active nationalistic progenitors. Our children shall, we hope, inherit our glory, and thus give to the race a perpetuation of that honor that is worthy of the ablest of the human race. Will Not Give Up Those of us with vision will surely not give up, but press on, hoping that by our determination to achieve we will unerringly help the cause of Africa's redemption.

The meeting was closed in usual form. (We take pleasure in reproducing this article, as it is illustrated in the "Cleveland Plain Reporter" of Sunday, June 2nd, from the pair of Miss Inez Wallace, an honest, broad-minded American journalist.) BY INES WALLAUS I USED to have hopes that some day when I got to be a big girl, I would acquire sense and discretion and not go probing around in far off places in search of adventure. But I'm getting kinda discouraged—because the moment I'm told that a thing is dangerous—or, "Don't do it"—that's the thing I must do, or die. And so it happened that one afternoon I was having tea in Kingston when the American ambassador chanced along and sat down to chat with me. I asked him about Marcus Garvey, a name I had heard discussed frequently, and said I'd like to meet him. Our worthy ambassador threw up his hands, forbade me to go at all and if I did go. I must have ample escort—pay half of the British army in Jamaica. So as soon as he had left I decided I'd go at once, and asked the hotel clerk for directions. He did not know—which in the tropics means that he did not apprise of my going. But as I walked out onto the veranda, a native bellboy at my elbow said, "Madame wishes to see Mr. Garvey?" Just get in a hansom cab and any driver will take you to him—we all know him. His place is at Edelwels Park, Cross Roads, St. Andrew." So that was it. I took the cab and started for the Kingdom suburb, reviewing what I had heard about his unusual personality. Marcus Garvey, in case you do not know, is the hope of Africa, the self-appointed librator of all the Negroes in the world, no matter where located. His slogan is, "Africa for the Africans" and he is president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—an organization devoted to the uplift of the Negro face and the restoration of Africa to "her own people." He served a term in Atlanta for defending the United States minials and was deported to Jamaica on the steamship Travellers. March 5, 1827. This, of course, was in the way of collecting funds for a present movement—and he claims it was "framed" by our politicians and sent up on a technicality. Anyhow, he served his time and wrote books and worked in prison and became a martyr in the eyes of his people. (8) The establishing of a daily paper in several large cities of the world to shape sentiment in favor of the entire Negro race, namely, in London, Paris, Berlin, Capetown, New York, Washington, Gold Coast, West Africa, and the several important islands of the West Indies. (1) The Political and Social Freedom of the entire Negro Race. His Newspaper The day he saluted his first newspaper called "The Negro World," appeared on the streets of New York City. We had deported Garvey, it seems, but his paper stayed to represent him with the American Negro. The paper was "characterized by its editor (Mr. Garvey) in the "Voice of the Awakened Negro." It sold like wildfire in New York, especially up in Harlem. (2) The presentation of proper evidence before the League of Nations for an adjustment of the International Race. Problem. (3) The creating of a thorough educational system for the higher education of the Negroes of America, the West Indies and Africa, resulting in the founding of three Negro universities of a purely technical character—one in America, one in the West Indies and one in Africa. (9) The practical effort of uniting every unit of the Negro race throughout the world into one organized body. When Mr. Garvey's bout landed in Jamaica, Negroes from miles around were crowding the docks long before sunrise to welcome their hats. They literally carried him to his new home in Kingston. Down from the huts they came rith and poor alike, to greet him—the man who was doing so much for them. (10) The formulating of plans to unify the religious beliefs and practices of the entire Negro race. (4) The creating of general economic opportunities in agriculture, industry and commerce for the Negro peoples of the world, whereby a brisk and proper trade relationship may develop between the Negroes of America, Africa, the West Indies and South and Central America to insure a stable economic statys.

That the Negro is a downtrodden person, kicked around, sold into slavery.

I wondered if there could be any truth in his associations. I wondered, and then, "This is the place, Mimi." my driver said and we turned into a gorgeous plantation, symmetrical of a stage set for a southern show—only more ornate and colorful. I ran up the steps and into a huge office, where girls worked on typewriters and secretaries and executives hurried back and forth with files and papers. Everyone, of course, was colored—and for a minute when I first went in, there was a breathless silence—then a secretary stepped up and offered me a chair while I informed him that if Mr. Garvey had any word to send back to the American press, I would be glad to take it. Hla Office Five minutes I waited and then was ushered into his office, and let me say that no bank president in New York has a longer line of pages and lackeys than Marcus Garvey. He rose and looked at me impersonally, almost defiantly—and then I realized that perhaps, as a result of his beliefs, he has a great animosity for the white person. But he is a gentleman. I held out my hand, which he took very solemnly. You see, I had come to talk to the man—not to just look at him—though I believe even that is considered an honor in Jamaica. "Many of my people are illiterate," he said, "but it behooves us who are educated to look out for them and their rights. They deserve world recognition and a place, in the League of Nations. Chinamen have China, Indiana have India, every race in the world, regardless of color, has a place to call home--but what has the Negro? Nothing. Africa belongs to us and we are going to get it. If a Negro gets into trouble in a foreign country he has no ambassador to help him out; because he has no nation. God put the Negro in Africa, all the conditions there are suited to him, but the white man has driven him out. We will change all that. We will have a country and stay in it--and have world representation." I asked she believed in the races mixing and intermarrying as they do in Jamaica. "No," he said. "Socially we should not mix for that way we lose the strain--but before 5 o'clock we should meet on business and diplomatic lines--as equals. "Some people think I want to go back to the Statea. I have no desire to do so except as a private citizen. The rotten politics of America was a source of great trouble to me. But I have many followers there. I have 10,000 in Cleveland and 20,000 in Cincinnati." And of Jamaica? "What will eventually become of Jamaica?" I asked. "Will it be a white man's land or a brown man's land through intermarriage?" "Neither," he answered promptly. "It will be a black man's land--for the white cannot live permanently in the tropics--they should stay, where God intended them, in a temperate climate." "I have you any bitterness toward the United States of America?" I wanted to know. He thought it over. "I have much bitterness toward certain individuals in the States," he said and Liet it go at tint. Just why this is so, I could not figure. We don't want Africa, even with all its diamonds and the British already have Jamestown, so why the feeling of the Negro against us? Well, perhaps it's the memories of Atlanta. Marcus Garvey speaks highly of the British government though it watches him like a hawk. They say they do not fear him, but they keep it close touch with his movements. It's an interesting situation. They have the army rule but they are in his territory. Perhaps they feel that. If the ever does break loose, it will mean he will go to Africa—and in the meantime, they are just standing by. Each one flatters the other—but one can think what they like. Diplomacy. His Advice Mr. Garvey gave me two books, autographed, "To Miss Inez Wallace, with complimenta of Marcus Garvey." They are, the "Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey"—or "Africa for Africans." One of them carries a foot note, in caps: "MY ADVICE TO ALL FRIENDLY WHITES: KEEP OUT OF AFRICA AND ASIA. GO TO NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA, STAY IN EUROPE BUT MEMBER GIVE AFRICA A LONG BERTH FOR ONE DAY GOD AND HIS HOSTS SHALL BRING PRINCES OUT OF EGYPT AND ETHIOPIA SHALL STRETCH FORTH HER HANDS." On the way home a robe past my residence—a house where beaded curtains hang from the doors, a touch of the Africa he loves. And in his front yard is a huge colored statue. Marcus Garvey is one of the best educated Negroes in the world. His ambitions, as stated by himself, harry conviction to anyone with intelligence. He has some things to recommend him, principally his vision. Whether this vision of conquering Africa is too great to be realised by the ambitions of one man, only time will tell. Anyhow, he was also to me and so I wish him luck. Editor, Negro World: If the paper set in the Negro World by K. T.

Too Much Hurry "There is one great fault I find with people today they hurry too much. They use up all of their reserve forces in every day affairs. I have always been interested in longevity. All animals live from five to ten times their age of maturity. The average man lives scarcely twice the age of maturity. I pandered over it, and this is the result of my thinking.

Harry Gray, once a slave, now nearly 90 years old makes his first appearance as a screen actor in the role of "Dad" in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's talking all Negro drama, "Hallucinab." BY RUBY BERKLEY GOODWIN One is distinctly surprised when a man of eighty-nine years develops into a radical who does not follow the rules of society. One could argue that who has formed for himself a group of rules that he stoutly maintains will enable him to live at least one hundred and fifty years. Such is Harry Gray. So far, he has made a splendid start in his accomplishments. His face is not marred by a single wrinkle, his teeth are in a perfect state of preservation, his steps are as sprightly as those of men many years younger. His philosophy is as strange as are his habits of living. I arrived at the suite of rooms in the Somerville Hotel. "I am preparing my dinner," he informed me. "I never eat in a restaurant or cafe." I watched, fascinated as he scraped and sliced carrots, peeled and died tomatoes, shredded lettuce and cabbage. All the while telling me a story that I shall never forget. Born a Slave/ "I was born in burgundy on the Sutton Plantation in Bifurthee County in North Carolina, 'j was very devoted to my master and mistress, for they were very good to me. During the Civil War the Union Army came perilously near and I led my owners to Black Walnut Swamp in that region. Here I knew they would be safe. No one ventured into the swamp but a few of his who knew the trails for many and varied were the stories that were told of the boys of quicksilver and marshs of stagnant poison water. After freedom, I became overboard on that place and regained there for thirty years. Then I went north." How He Became Intellectual How He Become Intellectual I had wondered about his English, for he spoke as a scholar, with the wisdom of the old masters. He explained this to me by saying, "In the days of my ignorance and superstition when I first went to New York, I met an intellectual bum; each morning I would buy ten cents worth of lignor and he in turn would give me lessons in the fundamentals. From him I learned much of science, art, history, anthropology and kindred sciences. At first I decided to enter night school. I went one night and never went again, because it embar- 2.

"The human body is able to renew itself independently. We should live, not one hundred and fifty years, but just so long as we will to do so. A creation as perfect as ours never intended for me to live in a few short years and then—darkness." His conversation had interested me so that I had nearly forgotten the real mission of my business. I recalled it and asked him about his work in pictures. "Pictures? I like to work in them. Interesting? They are an education in themselves. I enjoyed every minute of the time I was before the camera. I could accurately portray accesions because I lived before and during the period of reconstruction. We need pictures that are historically so. Many of our group will not respond to reconstruction days drama, but we should glory in our present achievements, thinking kindly of the age when our age was steeped in ignorance and apprehension. "Some day soon the Negro will portray his modern life upon the silver screen. The sonorous voices of our people will be heard in the classic aristics of the old masters, as well as the classic folk-songs of our people. But we must be patient. Our chance will come. This drama, "Hallahhillah," has paved the way for better things for our race." Mr. Gray has, the part of "Dad" in the picture. Zeke, his oldest son, becomes a young minister. The father watches over him, hoping that only the best and highest ideals will ever lead him, and then—but we must not say too much. Harry Gray is a grand old man. I left him, feeling that I had been in the presence of a Plato, realizing that I had met a mentality far superior to my own, wondering whether I had properly interviewed him or not, but being thankful that I had the opportunity of meeting this grand old personage.

Money and Marriage Use Head as Well As Heart in Love Have you a puzzling love affair on which you need friendly advice? Write to Julia Jerome, cure of this newspaper. If you wish a personal reply please send a stamped, self- addressed envelope. Julia Jerome Our letter this week is from Texas. My dear Mr. Jerome: I have a terrible problem. I am eighteen and my sweetheart is twenty. We love each other madly and my people like George, but they in- sist that he have a bank account be- fore we marry. Now, that will mean at least two years before we can marry. And because father is so good to me I hate to disobey him but I don't see how I can wait two years. By that time George may not love me. Shall I obey my parents or my heart? My dear child, if George doesn't have two years from now some one else probably will. It will of course do no good for me to tell you that the world is full of men—having concentrated upon one man you won't believe me. And I mean no reflection upon George when I say that there will be others just as good if he doesn't stick. It is a fine thing to love one man wholly, but never let it blind you to the facts of life. Now, one of the worst facts of life is that money is necessary. Lack of money does not always ruin a marriage—there wouldn't be many people left married if it old—but enough money makes the running smoother. I often think that the ancient custom of the dowry—which Europe still adheres to—was very wise. For if the wife always brought, something when she came to her husband it would insure greater permanence to the union. It was just another way of giving the couple something to start on. This is particularly necessary in old countries where opportunity to make money is limited and lucky breaks are few. We sneer at the dowry in America because—until recently—almost any young man with energy could get ahead and hope for great wealth. Now, however, America is getting "sewed up" too. Free land is almost gone. And with easy money receding our ideas of marriage will modify considerably. When your parents insist on your sweetheart having a bank account they are trying to insure some permanence to your marriage—so abide by their judgment. Why Colored People Are Colored No one knows positively why colored people are colored. But, scientist suggests several possible reasons. Because the hot tropical sun under which most colored people originally lived made them so. That's one suggestion. Negroes all lived on the blazing shores of tropical seas or in the deserts of northern Africa before ships and steam trains made it possible for them to travel, say the people who believe in this theory. 4. His taste for books and academic study rapidly developed, and while here he often studied late at night in the hope that his would be admitted to Leicand-Stanford University. But he was never financially able to realize his dream. theory is that all human beings were originally dark, and only certain races are beginning to grow more pale. People who hold this theory would have us believe that the whiter the race, the more advanced it is; but this is wholly unprovable. Still other students say that it is a matter of food; and they point to related tribes living on the same islands who are of different color. But this theory too is very unlikely. The fact is that some light-skinned people are found in Africa, and some dark-skinned people in the polar regions. They may have travelled to their present homes from distant parts of the world centuries ago before history was written; but travel was so difficult and dangerous that it is doubtful. And the truth of the matter is that the secret of WHY the skin of one man has a different color than the skin of another human being, is one of the many still unsolved mysteries of the world. If we knew the reason it might make the world a safer place to live in, for it would probably rid the earth of many of its bitter hatreds and fears. Of one blood God created all nations of mankind to dwell upon this earth. Therefore No man, or nation of men has any just right to enshrive or bring war upon the other. God created Man—and not races.

Have you ever stopped to ponder over the facts—pregnant with Negro glory—that the Nordic first heaps civilized wry recently, as time is reckoned in general recolored history; and that then the Nordics acquired learning for the first time, acquiring it from Negroes alone? Do you ever pause to remember that at that time—when education had become indeed highly evolved, when neither the Nordics nor the western Mediterranean Aryans had gyr attained to learning—pre-eminence in learning was divided between Asiatics and Negroes, and between those peoples alone? Because such truths are so discordant with the alleged history of colored races that is being taught in all parts of the English speaking countries of the world, one of the pressing duties of Negro writers and speakers is, not to restrict themselves to generalities in contradicting the false teaching, but specifically to contrast the false history with the truth. Did you ever know of anything about Arzachel before you read the title of this article? Are you not now receiving for the first time the truth that that profound Negro scientist corrected a decidedly serious mistake which Copernicus committed and never corrected? It is high time for Negroes who are otherwise highly intelligent to learn the true race history that for years has been systematically suppressed. Nicolaus. Koppernigk (Copernicus) was born in Thorn in 1473. As you well know, he was born when most white Europeans adhered to the nonsense of a sun revolving around a flat earth. Copernicus, a Polish astronomer guesed that the earth is flat. He believed that the sun. Because he taught that, the true solar system was named in his honor. In his six books concerning "Revolution," Copernicus spoiled his scientific work by introducing such an unscientific notion as a "perfect figure," calling the circle a perfect figure. Deducing consistently from that empty-assumption, Copernicus concluded that the planets revolve around the sun in circles—a grave delusion which he never dispelled. Contrast the Nordic's misleading conjectures with the investigation by a Negro of the eleventh century of the Christian era. The latter, Arzachel was one of the most distinguished astronomers of his age. He greatly advanced the science of astronomy partly by the fact that his observations of the planets were more accurate than any such observations that had ever been performed by any human, being known in history. By accurately calculating from his own observations, Arzachel discovered that which white astronomers verified several centuries later, and that wasn't that the planets travel not in circles but in ellipses. Here arises a fact that suffices in a popular article: Whether the planets travel in circles or travel so exceedingly differently as Arzachel concluded is a question that is exceedingly important in astronomical science. The true solar system was discovered by a Negro; but it was BE A POWER ON EARTH These articles are just what you need—for real luck—if that when one carries a loadstone, Rabbit's foot or wears a Chinese luck ring and burns Zandoras Power Incense, they always possess money, which is power—then everything one device comes to them, so says the creatures of the East—excuse one of these No. 4 luck outfits and be a man among men— SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY NO. 4 OUTFIT 1 Can Zandoras Power Incense; 1 Chinese Good Luck Ring; Adjustable; 1 Zembra Loadstone in Luck Bag; 1 Rabbit's Foot Charm—You NULIFE MANUFACTURING COMPANY, Inc. P. O. Box 571 Indianapolis, Ind. $500 If I Fail to Grow, Hair B named in honor of a Nordic who never learned the exact truth. It is true that Copernicus was a great astronomer. Nevertheless, by the end of his life, he leagues an astronomical mistake for which Aschelch provided a correction more than three hundred years before Copernicus was born. In view of the fact that a Negro scientist was the discoverer of an "astronomical system that's still being named if honor of one who was an erring Nordic scientist, I wonder how many Negroes will contend that the real Copernican system" is, wrong and that the true solar system is "Aryzachel's system?"

Como el siglo XVII los espa- foles sellaron de la Espaifola en busca de oro en la costa firme, Méjico, Peru, y otras comarcas, las filibusteros y bicaueros aprovechar de la bocaación para ocupar la íla de Tortuga adyacente de Haiti, y después a esta, que se llamaba Espaifola. Necesidad imperiosa de estadistas propios capaces de velar por nuestros intereses. No debemos tolerar el engaño por mas tiempo. La organización se esfuerza por la unión y harmonía entre nuestro elemento. Debemos realizar el derecho a disfrutar de nuestra existencia por ley divina. Los francéses dison el nombre de Santo Domingo a la isla encantadora, y permanecieron un siglo alli, de 1697 a 1804, fecha de la emancipación de la de Haiti. La independencia fue proclamada el 10. de enero de 1804, después de una guerra de trce años, con cortas reguestas. Los grandes estadistas, los grandes directores contemporáneos hacen esfuerzos sobrehumanos con el objeto de solucionar própiamente los complicados problemas que afectran a la humanidad en general. Para hacer comprender a los franceses que no querían caer otra vez bajo su dominación, los haitianos quitaron el nombre de Santo Domingo que tenia la isla y la nombraron Haiti, el antiguo nombre de los indios aborigenes, los primeros habitantes. Significa en lengua chenus tierra alta, tierra montañosa. La imaginación de los estadistas de Francia, de Inglaterra, del Japon, de Norte America, de Italia y de otros tantos gobierno reconocidos, está reconcentrada en el reajuste de los planes en cuanto al orden económico y político de la sociedad humana respecta. En mayo de 1806, el precursor Miranda recibió la ayuda del libertador de Haiti, Dessalines. En enero de 1813 don Pedro Girara estuvo en Haiti como enviado del general Guitierrez, que luchaba en Tamaulipas por la independencia de Méjico, recibió dinero del presidente haitiano Alejandro Petion. Desgraciadamente nuestro elemento no cuenta con grandes directores. Hasta la hora presente no hemos tenido aun verdaderos estadistas y las masas de nuestro pueblo continuan aceptando la intención de los directores y estadistas de las otras razas. Pos este hecho creen hasta cierto punto que las leyes constitucionales de este país; así como las de Inglaterra, Francia, Italia, Alemania y otros gobierno constituidos fueron escritas tanto para unos como para otros, ya sean estos subditos o ciudadanos. Pero la ayuda efectiva que Haiti dio a la América española fue el conccurso que Alejandro Petition presto a Bolivia en diciembre de 1815. La expedición que salió de Los Cayos de Haiti, entonces, comprendió siete barcas mercantes armadas en guerría y 250 hombres de desarmbaro. Los barcos se llamaron "Bolivar," que conducira al Libertador con su estado mayor y al almífate Brion; su capitán era el de fragata, Renato Beluche; la "Mariño", capitancada por el comandante Tomás Doboville; en su hardo viajaban Mac Gregor, Piar y otros oficiales "La Constitution," "Piar," "Brion." "Feliz" y "Consejo," commandadas por los tenientes de navio Juan Morne, F. Pinell, Antonio Rosales, Lomine y Fernando Ferreiro. Llevaban municiones, visiones, fusiles, dinero que el presidente de Haït, Alejandro Petitjan jubia facilitado a Bolivar. El tratamiento de que somos objeto bajo cualquier bandera que vivamos es prueba mas que suficiente para que realizemos que las constituciones o las leyes, cuando escritas por los primeros defensores de la libertad humana, nunca lo fueron con la intención de que nos cobijaran como pueblo o raza. Es simplemente una cuestión accidental el que seamos hoy o creanos ser ciudadanos o subditos de tal o cual gobierno o nación. Por este hecho llegamos a la conclusión de que muy poco o nada beneficioso debemos esperar de los esfuerzos que hacen al presente los grandes estadistas de las otras razas, estando plenamente demostrado que ellos beneficiaran exclusivamente a los suyos. Es por consiguiente una necendad imperiosa el que de nuestro elemento surjan directores y estadistas, capaces de velar por nuestros propios intereses. En el momento de la salida hubo un incidente: el comité mejicano que funcionaba en la ciudad de Los Cayos, por conducto del señor Anny, quiso embargar y retener la goleta "Constitución." El presidente de la Haiti y el gobierno de Los Cayos, general Marion tuvieron que intervenir. Es mas que absurdo el pensar que el tal llamado subdito inglés, subdito francés, subdito italiano, subdito alemán de nuestro raza, se ve emancipado de su lastimosa condición actual por medio de los esfuerzos de los grandes estadistas o directores de dichos gobiernos. Es razonable admitir; por la experiencia que hemos adquirido, que vivimos en una cría en la cual cada pueblo, cada raza, cada nación, vela por sus propios intereses a expensas de la debilidad y falta de preparación de los demás. En septiembre de 1815, el Libertador escritor alejario Pelitian para pedirle su ayuda otra vez. El presidente de Haiti contestó al Libertador Bolivar con una anabilisima carta en extremo estimulante —que se conserva en Sevilla— imitando a Bolivar a que fuera a Haiti a conferir a con el. Como pueblo, parte integrante del género humano, hemos sido avejados y engañados por centenares de años, encontrándonos aún sin dirección cual barca sin timón y a merced del desastroso torbellino de la intriga social. Existe sin embargo un faro luminoso, un puerta salvador: el programa de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, cuyo principal objetivo estriba en el enaltecimiento de nuestro elemento tanto en lo económico como en lo educativo, y la constitución de una nación con un gobierno de nuestro pueblo, por nuestro pueblo y para nuestro pueblo. Petition cumplió por segunda vez, la promesa hecha al Libertador. Por el puerto de Los Cayos, de San Louis y de Aguin, sale Bolivar hacia Venezuela, con el siguiente acopte que hara, por los tiempos de los tiempos, impercedera la gratitud de América española al noble y abnegado puteblo-haitián que en la figura de su immaculado presidente, supo de tantas grandezas y de tantos sacrificios. Cuatrocientos millones de seres no deben permitir por otro siglo, más por otra década mas o por otro año más el verse subyugado por la planta de la opresión. Este contigente debe levantarse como un solo hombre y demandar, de parte de aquellos determinados a harceles permanecer en eterna esclavitud, ei derecho que como humanos le pertenece. Petition dio a Bolivar para la segunda expedición, cuatro mil fusilis, quince mil libris de polvora, quince mil libris de plomo, una imprenta, viveres en abundancia y dos millones de francos. Necesita recordar que entonces la joven republica antillana no terminaba de consolidar su paz interior y esperaba un retorno ofensivo de la metrópoli de ayer. Cuando a una persona se le priva de aquello que legítimamente le pertenece, no debe ir pidiendo misericordia o favores para recuperarlo; debe demandarlo en nombre de la ley, en nombre de la razón, en nombre de la justicia. Debe utilizar concientemente todas sus facultades, todo su poder demostrando así la clase de material de que esta hecho. Cuando esto aconteza los usurpadores se abstenidrán de cometer arbitrariedades y el orden de cosas actual se verá sometido a una variación, la cual redundará en beneficio de la tan anhelada paz universal. En Haiti se habla el francés. La religión dominante y del Estado es la católica romana. Los ocho arzobispos y obispos de Haiti son pagados por el tesoro público, así como todo el clero. Haiti firmeó un concordato con el Vaticano en marzo de 1860. La literatura de Haiti es una rama de la francésca. Las obras de los mejores autores y poetas haitianos son coronadas por la. Academia Francesa. El latin y el griego son obligatorios en Haiti, que tiene una convención con Francia, por la equivalencia de los titulos universitarios. Hay en Haiti una facultad de medicina, una de odontología, una de obetética, una de farmacia, entre No se alvida el gran Reunion del Asociacion Universal para el Adelante de la Raza Negro in Jamaica un anteater en la cama privado. Muchos médicos haltianos radican en Francia. El doctor Leon Aïdain, de Haiti, es director de un gran-hospital en Paris. Este médico escribió un libro sobre las fiebres paludicas, que sirve de texto en las facultades de Francia. Haiti tiene dos miliones y medio de habitantes. Todas las haitianas son negros y mililenas. Suñ afrolatinos. Como los japoneses, los haitianos no conoce el prejudicio de razas. Viaje en Proyecto El primer ministro británico MacDonald hará su proyecto visita a los Estados Unidos tan pronto como el Parlamento levante sus sesiones a fines de julio si no centre en el interin algo que de al traste con su programa, de acuerdo con la creencia expresada en lo circulos que se dicen bien enterados. Haciendo el viaje a Washington en esta época, Mr. Macdonald tendría tiempo suficiente para su proyecto visita a Ginebra en septiembre, cuando se reune la Asamblea de la Sociedad de las Naciones. No puedo hacer declaraciones definitivas de ninguna-clase, declaró Mr. MacDonald en los momentes de abandonar Londres con su hija Isabel para descansar en su hogar de Escocia por unos días. El primer ministro dijo que iba en busca de un muy necesitado descanso, pero que se ehcontraria de vuelta, el dia 21 corriente, parh presentarse en el Parlamento el dia de su inauguración, o sea el 25 del mes actual. La idea de una visita a los Estados Unidos por Mr. MacDonald ya ha recibido toda clase de clogios en los circulos políticos de la capital hoy, au cuando los periodicos conservadores se nuestrasse desesos de anunciar al nacio que el exprimer ministro Baldwijn habia aceptado una visita semejante poco antes de abandonar la presidencia. Nada se supo en Londres acerca de esto hasta que Mr. MacDonald subió al poder. Un buen entendimiento entre los Estados Unidos e Juglaterra, seria el primer movimiento de importancia que marcase la iniciación del segundo gobierno laborista inglés, el cual seria recibido, undurablemente, con regojojo especialmente al ofrecer medios de restringir os gasios para armamentos navales. El nuevo gobierno proyecta gastras sumas cuantiosas en disminuir los infortunios de las clases pobres de su nacion y confia que *estos gastos pueden ser contrabalanceados con economias en los gastos por construcciones yvajales. El gobierno laborista se muestra, favorablemente inclinado, también, a aumentar los impuestos para seguir prestando ayuda a las clases necesitas. Charles E. Weir, nominated by Congressman Oscar DePriest, has passed his entrance examinations to the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Not since reconstruction days has a Negro been admitted to the Naval Academy. During that period three were admitted but none finished the course. Mr. Weir is an here. That he will suffer the torments of hell is a foregone conclusion. He knows it. The arrows shot from the hands of prejudiced bigots will be constantly directed at him. Every possible handicap will be placed upon him. His heart will bleed because of ostracism. Every effort will be made to make him quit. He will be a lonely figure. Humiliation and sorrow will be his daily portion. However, he must sacrifice his feelings. He must smile when he feels like crying. In the face of damnable efforts to make him give up he must stick it out to the bitter end. His personal feelings must be sacrificed in order to achieve victory for those who love him and respect him for his courage in accepting a place which will probably cause him mortification and ordeal.—The Philadelphia Tribune. Every citizen can find his or her pace of beat help and then strive to fill it. Service in fact as well in name is what distinguishes men and women in all levels of society. By filling one's place in the community, one becomes more able to co-operate in helping those engaged in other lines of service. B. Has Arrived Well borne from it is just what you could tell: willing to. I know he and a boy are late work, as they must have a good light staged that has witty of your consideration or harangage. But he has one that will draw every fight fan out of Haram. What do you think of this? Al Brown and Kid Chocolate on the same card. No! not opposing each other! Al will take on Videl Gregorio. The winner of this scrap will be crowned Bantamweight Champion of the world. Brown is training in the country for this scrap and he should come in in the best of condition. In the semi-final, Kid Chocolate takes on Terry Roth. What? What? Who would miss this? What train are you taking? Better be over early. Say, boys. I almost forgot to tell you where and when. Well, here goes. This card will be staged over at the Queensboro Stadium, on Tuesday evening, June 18. This show will be given for sweet charity as the National Sports Alliance will be the beneficiaries. Al has signed over 20 per cent of his end to the cause. Good boy. Al. You always were a regular fellow. Quite different from what the big fellows are doing on the milk fund card. They are getting a hundred grand and want more. What price charity here? HAD A TICKET for the New Talent. Show at the Olympic last Wednesday evening but could, not make it, for which I was awfully sorry. Learned that it was quite interesting. There is one boy I would like to see arrive. That is Al Smith. Saw him stop some good boy a few weeks ago. He showed very good then. They say he hasn't got much heart. Well, he is young yet and may get over this. Let's hope so, anyway. WHAT SHALL IT BE? SO DEMPSEY has received an offer of $500,000 to fight George Godfrey in Philadelphia. The offer was made by Joseph Kennedy. Philadelphia promoter. This sounds good. Jack would draw more with Godfrey than he could with Paolino or Schmeling because Godfrey has a decision over Paolino. and since that fight a question was put to Uzucudun as to whom did he consider the best heavyweight in America. Without hesitation he said "Why George Godfrey" and added, "he gave me the hardest fight of my life so much so that I would not care to meet him again." So you see in so far as Finola goe, Godfrey is a mance to him. He wants no more of him. Now we take on Max Schmeling, the new comet, who gained fame because he bowled over Risco. Now let's see. Did not Risco fight Godfrey last summer-over at Ebbets' Field? Yes, he did and did not Godfrey beat him so badly that all the daily sports writers stated that he would be easy prey for any heavyweight? Well, Schmeling was the lucky one. Outside of this fight whom has he beaten? Now the right thing to do would be to match the winner of the Finola-Schmeling fight with Godfrey and the winner of this fight should be the one to meet Dempsey for the championship. Anything other than this procedure would be out, so I sincerely hope that the Garden Corp. will see it this way or that in the event they do not, that Fugazy and McMann or some other promoting combination will get wise and stage the greatest fight of the age. Don't forget! There are two more good fights that should be pulled this summer. Godfrey and the winner of the milk fund fight and the winner of this one against Dempsey.—All set. Let's go boys!

Even the meager and inadequate protection provided by the Emergency Rent Law passed five years ago, has now expired, and the landlords are now planning to take advantage of defenseless tenants whom they will ruthlessly exploit because of this situation. "The Harlem Tenants' League, therefore, makes the following demands: "1. The fixing of rents of wage earners upon a basis commensurate with their wages, such rents to be fixed by a Board of Labor representatives." "5. And above all, the Harlem Tenants' League upholds the right of tenants to organize themselves and refuse to pay oppressive and unjustified rent increases, and that where such increases are demanded, aviction shall not be permitted.

Then let us rally round our flag; ken and women, boys and girls, don't be a lag. Some let us raise our voices and praise the God above: Who sent to us a leader, his blessed son of love, lift high the new flag the red, black and green; Let it glitter over us like a silver sheen. LIFT HIGH OUR FLAG, THE RED, BLACK AND GREEN Fellowman of the Negro race: Is there one of you who does not feel is thrill of pride for that dear country that we were taken from? Then fling to the breeze, the ensign of the Red, Black and Green and let our right be gladdened by our country's war and if you are worthy of the name of that great country, Africa—when you see the Red, Black and Green fying, you will know that for it you will lay down your life, blessing it with your last breath. Its warning beauty brings, to our memory the form of our dear leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, who languished in Atlanta prison for many years. Me thinks I hear him saying: think or live; die or die; perish or I will give my hand and heart to the Universal Negro Imprisonment Asso- saying: "Africa for the Africans at at home and abroad!" I feel his message ringing in my heart and I know that liberty we shall have. Our flag is not a bit of rag, as some have called it, but a sanctuary under which four hundred million men and women are creeping with outstretched hands, and streaming eyes—pleading for liberty and justice, solace and peace.

Los Angeles, Calif. P. S. Dear Mr. Brown, please accept my heartfelt appreciation for your editorial comment of June 1st. To the Editor of The Negro World: Can a sovereign people be more appressed as in the Negro? Is there a people living under heaven that needs freedom more than the Negro? Is it that is preventing the Negro? That bears him from his place in the sun? Is it man or God? Will God watch between the man of color and his white brother? Again who is it that bares the black man from freedom? Is it man or God? Let our concentrated end be freedom or death. It is better to die fighting for freedom than to die in slavery. Youorn for an African redeemed. CHRISTIAN NELSON, Preston, Oriente, Cuban. Louis Borno, President of Haiti, Coming to U. S. A To the Editor: The people of Haiti are absolutely opposed to the proposed trip of Borno to the U.S.A., and are utilizing all channels to protest against this trip to be made only a few days before the elections for president and legislature. It is reported that $6,200 was appropriated from the Haitian treasury to finance this trip. He will be accompanied by John H. Russell, the so-called U. S. High Commissioner in Haiti and a few other Haitian and U. S. officials, who will go directly to Washington, D. C. to interview President Herbert Hoover and the state department. The purpose will be to ask for the support of the president of the U.S.A. and the U.S.A. State Department for the, re-election of Borno as president of Haiti. A few years ago Borno came to the U.S. to confer with Cooledge and the State Department, asking them to validate his power as president, and support him by the Arms of the Marines in Haiti. He was aware of the great dissatisfaction among the Haitian people. He failed to comply, with the Haitian constitution which provided that only a Haitian can be president. It was reported in the Haitian Press, "Le Courrier Haitien" that Borno offered the state department a few concessions if they would help him become president by the following: "Pierre, he was promised a loan; upon consummation of lands for Haitian troops; Taddei—Position for all of the Haitian Government in Haiti." labor of the new constitution instigated by the United States has to be unarmed in the Haitian republic. Therefore protests of all sorts are being suggested in Haiti by the Haitian people and their sympathizers. General John H. Russell the so-called U.S. High Commissioner in Haiti, who came here with Borno, received the instructions to take him safely back to Haiti and do anything in his power to compel the people to accept Borno as president; and to utilize all of these concessions. Russell soon arrived in Haiti and put into effect Martial law; prohibiting the press to publish anything about the action of the marines, or the government. Newspaper editors were put into jail, men and women were beaten up; which process went on for three months. Immediately after the arrival of Russell, and this process of terror was instituted, a loan on the name of the Haitian republic for $30,000,000' from the Nation City Bank of Wall Street was made. Born began a system of removing Haitians from all office and replacing them by ex-marines. Then came the new land laws authorizing the State officials to take away from the workers and peasants their lands, to be turned over to the Wall Street Corporations, the American Sugar Company, and the Herbert Firestone Rubber Plantation. It is said that Borno is going this time to Washington to ask President Hoover to avoid the legislative election-from taking place to impose him again on the Haitian people. Demonstrations are taking place in Haith. Organizations and groups are being mobilized to combat this rejection, to prevent the trip and asking the people of the U. S. to help them protest against the traitorous out-of the Haitian workers and peace to the exploitation of Wall Street. To the Editor, Negro World: Please allow me a little space in your wonderful column. I. who am very interested in the fight for Africa's redemption; have courage, to say that "Africa will be redeemed." For the work that the Honorable Marcus Garvey has started will continue to grow, and the four hundred million Negroes of the world will fight unto the gates of hell for our homeland, Africa. I have seen the Universal Negro Improvement Association grow from so small a beginning into a powerful instrument in God's hand, for the establishment of justice and the rescue of a people. I give thanks and praise that I have been privileged to see arising the Negroes, the new type of Negroes, that will not cringe, that will not flinch, that will not give back an inch but stand upon their feet and look the world in the face. Negroes that will use no force and make no threats, and in the name of eternal justice demand rights and will not take anything less. I know that the full vindication of the African race is in the hands of God, and will be accomplished. We leave the superior white man to his battleship and guns. We leave him to his hunting knife and muzzle bound to faggots. We leave him to his aeroplanes and bombs of poisonous gas. We leave him to his cities bombarded and his field soaked in blood. We leave him to his favorite appeal, to force. Here in the market place of the white man, we stand surrounded by the evidence of his wealth and pomp and power, and with unfeearing eyes we look upon him and say "You have wrought this have upon those your fellowmen. You have denied us justice. You have made of your courts and law machines to oppress us. You have condemned us to jujury and darkness. Stendfast we stand. Steadfast we press this question upon you. Thus you have done what do you say we must thus we will stand until we have your power, and you begin to right your infinite wrongs." As the spirit is more powerful than the flesh, as truth transcends a lie; as truly as the heavens are above the earth and God lives and we shall win. For here we pledge ourselves to march on until we do: LEON MORGAN Remedios, Cuba To the Editor of the Negro World: Permit me space in your valuable paper to send a few words of congratulation to Mr. G.

Whether joy or misery, our pensive thoughts do crave. The super-minds have told us all they think that they do know. About this ancient mystery that lies beyond the grave. The origin of life is still a riddle incomplete. Though some have tried to trace its birth from out of the aureum deep White others think that we descend from planets far away. In tiny 'tonic forms of life, and thus through stages grew But this is still a mystery that lies beyond the grave. From lowly atoms we were made to lowly atoms go The product of an Unseen Force which we may never know For it will still incurred One, and so will remain Regardless of our reasons deep and lorics pure and plain. He moves in a mysterious way, perhaps beyond the grave. From this terrestrial sphere of life to some celestial sphere Our friends and parents, rich and poor, have gone—we know not where Their thoughts no longer can express the mystery they have seen The veil is thick, 'tis like a mist, and from our visions screen This weird and ancient mystery that lies beyond the grave. When mystery's veil of life in death blurs into silence. Will we be glad, will we be sad, per- formance we know it all When passing through this misty veil to Him Who made us all? But this is still a mystery that lies beyond the grave. To the Baton of the Negro World. The attention-of Negrodom is now being focused upon a little West Indian Island in the Carribean Island called "Jamaica," not because the island has unseen and mysterious charm, but Columbus had discovered it. "but that a characteristic event, is about to take place there in the month of August by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League of the World, in calling its Sixth International Convention of the Negro People of the World. Out of this Convention, will undoubtedly come many worthy and substantial good to the benefit of the whole Negro race. Among the principal things that are to come out of the Convention will be to elect executive, officers for the Association; and as Convention time is steadily creeping upon us, I wish to call the attention of the vast membership the world over, to first have a good look and take stock of the workings of the various governments and large corporations of the world who, and what class of men they have got, as heads of affairs before making an election at the Convention.

Austin Chamberlain, Secretary of England's Foreign Affairs might not have been fortunate enough by having the Sir Pipel before his name if he had not so shaped in a diplomatic style Britain's interest in Egypt India, Africa and elsewhere, making King George feel happy in Buckingham Palace, that all is well with the empire. Herbert Hoover would not be elected president, and America if the American people did not see in him a qualified statesman, in whose hand the destiny of the nation will be "O. K." Therefore in electing men and women for the executive offices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which is a government in its formation, we will see to it that we elect men the type of those fore-mentioned; but we may withhold such titles as the Sirs, etc., until they have done for the Association and their race the things worthy of such.

Special to The Negro World: My Dear Race: It does make me feel bad and miserable to see thousands of us standing idle, and at the same time having a true leader, preaching, and begging us to get in line for the march to victory. How can we not head his call? We all see the changes from time to time, seeing that the near future bringeth nearer to our feet, the everlasting doom, if we do not quickly respond to the call of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. God prevails not with man always, and how can a man man-same as the prevail for ever? May my daily prayers reach the depth of the hearts of many scattered sons and daughters of our motherland Africa, which will cause all to unite in one gloorious band, and demand our respective places, that which the great Almighty would have us to fill in this world. For my part, I am preschewing the true words of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, to all of my people whom I may come in conversation with I am.
