Out of them we were able to formulate a world program that is now changing the whole aspect of the Negro problem. Out of these conventions we have built up a world institution that is today a recognized force in the world, as far as the shaping of the destiny of Negroes is concerned. We have had our trials and our troubles. We have had our tribulations, but they are all stepping stones to the achievement of greater things. Our heartaches, our pains, have been sore and deep, but what do we care, realizing that all such forms a part of the great problem of reform. We must suffer, some of us must die, before we, as a race, can attain the heights of higher and better things. So there is no regret for those who have suffered and those who have died. It is but a duty, and gladly those of us who lead perform it. Looking Forward to Brighter Day With all that has been achieved ighter and a greater day.

A. Would Deprive Native of Vote Laying In Trouble Which Will Break Loose One Day Natives Cannot Be Kept Down Indefinitely The centuries-old struggle of the white race for supremacy; the centre of the Dutch element to align South Africa with German trade interests; and the determination of British citizens of the Union of South Africa to remain with the Empire—all of these were brought to the surface during the recent election. For the first time in the history of South Africa, it seems, the "native question" was placed before the electorate, and the victory of General Hertzung, Nationalist candidate, is interpreted by Cape Town correspondents as a clear notion to the Sluyder and other offended races that they claimed, for the present, anticipate a share in South African citizenship in any form. The two issues on which the contest was fought, we read in the London Times, were the question of the native vote an dthe German trude treaty: "General Hertzog, the Nationalist leader, proposes to give natives in the Union a limited and indirect form of representation, and to take away from natives of the Cape Province the right they now possess o fequal franchise with white.

We want to go home, we have need to go home, and we should be permitted to return if we so desire. No man, or set of men should question this right—it is fundamentally correct. We want rest. We want peace. We want happiness. Home is the logical place to peek all these requisites. No universal rest has existed for the black people since we were torn from Africa's shores. No racial peace has been our lot since we have been part and parcel of other people's governments. No happiness can be cured, until we have been accorded complete autonomy of every inch of African territory. The yellow races of the world are working to free and restrain the land of their fathers. The brown races are doing likewise; then why not recognize the black people's right to defend and protect the land of their fathers, beyond of defending, fighting and dying for other races and their countries? The law of self-preservation dictates that a man's most duty is to himself. We are endeavoring to live up to the requirements of that law.

The White Race Is 'Doomed' To Become A Tanned Race By MILO HASTINGS The summer of 1929 should go down in history as marking the beginning of the end of the white race. As a matter of fact there never was any normal white race and those of us and our ancestors before us who have prided ourselves in the whiteness of our skins were merely No Happiness Durs "Till Is Free" Home" Calls Us sheep's clothing! The world is tired and disgusted with such hypocrisy. We want equity and justice—nothing more and nothing less. We need to be our own protectors; our own representatives; our own dictators. Too long have we looked to others for our salvation. No one can be as true to us as we can be to ourselves. This fact is irrefutable. The folly of looking for a protection that fails to protect—for a representation that has failed to represent, and for a direction that has failed to advance us economically, commercially, and politically—has long been established and proven. Too long have we submitted to universal institutes merely because of some rabid, prejudiced individual. Too long have we submitted to an unjust discrimination, just because of some personal animosity or dislike. Too long have we been equally taxed, but denied equal representation, educationally, socially, and politically. Too long have we had to accept inferior employment and wages, while possessing a superior education and training. And too long have we heartened to others, while thoroughly capable of advising ourselves. We are tired, sick and disgusted of these and insultable other varying conditions, suffered at the hands of others. Now we want to go home—there to set up our own regulations, and mind our own affairs. Through the channel of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, we are asking—yes, demanding in terms of encompassing, the pre-age of distancing our own prejudices of a public, and international interest. The Budget has declared that "the opt would stretch forth the North, Palestine and much would extend out of Egypt". Now distancing ourselves are our greatest challenge. bleached by artificial darkness like the white stalks of celery that are buried or covered with boards to remove the natural color that comes from the action of sunlight. Even the whiteness of the whitest skinned princesses that were ever shut in dark towers to be rescued by bronzed knights and taken to other dark towers, is somewhat of an illusion. We wanted our ladies to be white by comparison only—if they got too white, we sent for the doctor. The origin of the old valuation placed on bleached skins was an economic or social one. It was the lady in the castle who stayed indoors muffled in her excess clothing who had the ill-white skin. The peasant girl who worked in the fields was tanned. So the tanned skin became the sign of labor and poverty and the bleached skin the sign of wealth and laziness. But now the thing has been turned around. The poor girl who must work all the year round in factory and office and live in a dark tenement has become the illy-white one. And the rich girl who winters at Miami has acquired the peasant girl's tan—and more of it as she wears less clothes. So now the poor working girl with her bleached skin is called upon to ape the society girl with her tanned skin, and the white skin has become not the insignia of wealth. Owing to pressure on space, we have had to reduce the message on the front page. The message with its headlines, starts on the front page, as usual, then is continued to page two. Daughter Of Ethiopia Defines Negro Attitude Will Not This Universal Uplifting of Hands To God Be a Sublime Profession of Faith And Confidence in Final Success of Our Cause? She Asks A treaty of peace is of the highest importance to the white nations of the world today, if it can be had without the sacrifice of bringing into consideration the black man of Africa. Their aim in the adjustment of peace should be directed to lasting results and to the achievement of all races; rather than to their ambitious designs. How are these Nations to obtain peace, with the terrible crisis in Africa, the home of four hundred million black oppressed souls? They may be feeding themselves, but not the proclaimed Negro. When we have large nations . . . kinds of their own country? Can it be taken from them without their own consent? . . . Why, then, are the rightful owners of Africa, looked upon as less lords of their country? or why should we, being four hundred million strong, submit our country to the disposal of the parliaments of Europe, or any other parliament, or council in the world, not of the election of the Negro peoples of the world? The blow has been struck for nothing more or less than the freedom and universal emancipation of the entire Negro race at large. There is no turning back with the awakened black man of today, no wavering, no retreat. We are willing to perform all of our obligations, without fear. We have before us the highest privilege and opportunity; to make of ourselves anything that we may desire. We have only to be honest and true in our dealings and follow in the footsteps of our leader. We have also to remember, that in acquiring knowledge, there is one thing equally important, and that is character. Nothing in the whole wide world is worth so much, will last so long, and serve its possessor so well, and give one the ease of heart as that of a good character. It is something that no one can take from you, that no one can give. You must acquire it for yourself. Take the character of Mr. Garvey. No man in all the race is so well qualified for trust that is upon him as the great leader under whom the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been conducted. He has the head, the heart; he has also the special knowledge and experience that qualify him beyond all others. He has also the stainless reputation and character, and has led the blameless life that endear him to his thousands of fellows, and give to him the confidence, the respect, the admiration, love, affection of those whom he so unselfishly serves. He is an ideal man, representing the highest type of the Negro race. If we walk with our hands in his, the cause of the Negro will be carried triumphant to victory. Sincerely do we hope that the delegates who intend to participate in the great convention at Kingston, Jamaica, will get their hearts right before going there. We should all pray that during these 31 days God will endow Mr. Garvey with the power with which he endowed Peter when he spoke and Anasflie and Saphira tumbled down deed. So that in dealing with hypocritical leaders he may be able to overthrow them; because we cannot successfully carry on having to be led by men who will get up in the Liberty halls and speak the truth only because they know that the members will not sign for anything. A white girl was struck by a pop bottled allied to have been thrown by a Negro and the fight was on. Howeville, stones and clubs were brought into play and the evidence of Negro leaders perhaps prevented a more serious outcry.

She Asks else, and as soon as they get with the other crowd, they are ready to talk in their favor and demonstrate voyey; then at the same time they are expecting to go to the conference for Mr. Garvey to make the speech out of them. May God deliver the hands of Mr. Garvey just as he that are worthy of presenting the cause of the race to the Negro nations. Surely he will do Garvey voyey what he did for Jesus, and real; but we must produce them to go before the people.

"This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all nations." God answers our petitions directly or indirectly. If He does not grant us what we ask, he gives us something equivalent or better. What a beautiful spectacle to behold prayers of thousands of determined Negroes, ascending throughout the world to the throne of mercy! Will not this Universal uplifting of minds and hearts to God be a sublime profession of our faith and trust in Him? Is not this appeal to heaven a most eloquent recognition of Gods superintending providence over us? Such earnest and united prayers will not fall to draw down upon us the blessing of the Almighty.

Help Us To Help You The Negro World takes this opportunity of extending its sincere thanks and admiration to the many readers that have sent in letters expressing their appreciation for the general appearance of our paper. Believe us, we are really trying our utmost to make a regular paper of the Negro World. As you know, ours is a propaganda medium published in the interest of the awakened Negro. Our slogan is Africa for the Africans at home and abroad. Although this is our aim, we want to make our paper so that it may appeal to everybody. Now in order for us to be able to do this it will be necessary to have funds at our disposal. Please bear this in mind, that the Negro World belongs to the race. Why? Because it champions their cause. On this account money that would come to us through other channels does not. So it is no more than right that whenever we are in need "Greatly in Need" that we should appeal to you, our sincere well-wishers. Therefore, beginning with this week we are launching a $89,000.00 Campaign Drive To raise money for the purpose of producing a more convincing paper. The editorial and business departments are working in hand in order to give you what you should have. So please help us by doing all you possibly can. Send in whatever you can afford to help put over this drive. We will publish the names of Deputies, Chapters, or Individuals that contribute in the Negro World each week, all something and let them tell about it. Looking forward in respect of early response, and further in advance to questions arising, we hold our heart in trust for the question of the payment of the late Harold G. Bentley, and our sincere thanks to Mr. Bentley for his kindness and generosity. We look forward to hearing from you. a prance 4 Tes: : oye a s : Siladictlier Tenses se.

We are expecting the presence of several Senators. Con- gtesemen and leeders in American public life and educators. Negre Political Union Among the important items to be Giscussed, as outlined by the above Program, will be the formation of the Negro Political Unies. ‘This union will comsolidate the political forces of the Negro through which the race will express its political opinion in America, in the islands of the seas and in all communitie swhere the Ne- gro forms a part. The Political ‘Union shall represeat the political hopes and aspirations of the Sfteen million Negroes of the United States of America on American questions, domestic to America, and shall rep- resent the interests of the millions of Negroes of the West Indies in their @ifferent and respective istande af- and 0 also in the scattered commu- nities of Africa. The usloa shall Dave a sympethetic relationship po- Utically, with Negroes all over the world, but each country or commu- nity will Rave its own domestic pro- gram fer the betterment of the race a or community. But ta renee of the union willbe gives to any community or country to politically assist it in putting over {tz political program. As, for in- atance, {f the Negroes of America were politically agitating or work- ing for the passage of any special measure for the benefit of the race, the entire strength of the union would be placed at the disposal of the Am- erican section. If the Negroes er| Trinidad desired to carry out any political measure for the benefit of that community, the union would use {ta strength in assisting them, and so with any community where the Negroes live throughout the world. No longer, therefore, will individual politicians represent the interests of the Negroes, but the Negroes united- ly will be represented by the Negro Political Union. Le? us all, therefore, work for the successful consumma- tlon of the program of the Universal: Negro Improvement Association, #0 that we may be able to glory in & brighter day industrially, commer- cially, socially, religiously and po- Utically. ‘All Negroes should concentrate in hetping in her industrial snd agri- cultural development. Her forests should be chopped down, cities akould be built thereon, the virgin land should be tilled and worked to pro- duce the products that her native soit is rapable of. Why shouldn't we bend our energies in this direction?

CONVENTION BOUND JUST a few short days ago we stood at the pier, and amid a throng of other hopefuls, waved good-bye, and God-speed to our delegates, leaving for the sessions of the Sixth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, which opens in Kingston, Jamaica, B.W.I., on Thursday of this week, August 1st, 1929. Many visions passed before our mental gaze, as we stood there, and watched the liner slipping down the bay; and the hopes for the redemption of Africa, and the freedom of the people of the Negro race, walled up in our hearts again. We registered anew the vow, that "AFRICA MUST BE FREE." Only Infinity can fathom the great depth of emotion and pent up power that is seeking expression in the breasts and lives of the people of the Negro race, conscious of the fact that they are not being given even a proportionate measure of that fair treatment, which we know and feel is rightfully ours. And only Infinity can begin to realize to what extremes Negroes will go, to bring into actual, practicable realization that full, free measure of liberty, and the curse of the throngs waving them good-bye, wishing them each a safe return to their respective homes; feeling confident, even as we felt, when we said farewell to our delegates that the time is at hand when the Negro Peoples of the World must have a hearing; must show to all humanity that they are in earnest, fit to live, ready and willing to fight for that which is unquestionably theirs and not afraid to die, if need be, for the successful carrying out of the plans we have under consideration. So. in that self-same spirit of determination, and unrelenting effort, which has carried our delegates to their destination, we too are in spirit, Convention Bound. The Muse of History will chronicle many a gallant deed done during the early years of the Twentieth Century, by the dark-skinned men of Ham, in their quest for freedom, and in their fight against oppression, and despondency and damnation. Because the spirit of the World's greatest convention is in the very atmosphere; because we Negroes realise more than ever, that we must win or die; because we are prepared to go through the very gates of Death itself, in order to secure, for ourselves and our children's children that full free measure of freedom, which other men enjoy, and which we know and feel are ours alike to the others of the sons of men, as our spirits rise, convention bound, and as our brothers and sisters sail the seas, bound for the greatest and most important gathering of human beings that the world has ever known, we resolve again, under God's heaven, while the very eyes of all creation stare down upon us, that "THE NEGRO MUST BE FREE." AFRICA MUST BE REDEEMED. And this grim resolve will burn itself into the consciousness of all creation, till every vestige of injustice has been purged down from the face of the globe, till man has learned to respect the rights of his fellowman; till the race of Negroes is indeed enlightened and uplifted, and "TILL AFRICA IS FREE." "HEROES OR CRAVENS?" THAT is the big question which men and women of every race are called upon to face, and to answer today. Never, in the history of humanity, have there been so many pressing and vital problems confronting mankind, as we find today. Men and women of every race have to face this condition; and the Negro is no exception to the rule. Standing in the broad light of the Twentieth Century, hearing the voice of inspiration, and feeling the stirring desires swell up in our veins, we meet the demand of the hour in a spirit born of courage and noble aspirations. We resolve that come what may, we Negroes are going to meet the issues of the day in a fair, square, masterful, and determined, victorious way, bringing every problem to a successful conclusion. The demand of the hour is for men of stern souls, and great hearts, who will not flinch in the face of opposition, or in the path of death. It is imperative that the Negro Peoples of the World shape themselves like heroes bold, necessary that we give to the world the best that is in us; so that the world might be made to come to a mediation of the fact that the Negro is a man, made in the image and presence of the Creator, and endowed by Him with the great powers out of which heroes are made, we cannot, must not fail in the great purpose of our Creation; but turning a deaf ear to scandal, malice, envy, and doubts, march firmly forward to the greatest trials that life has held, confident in our ability to meet any trials that can be overcome—and master them. race for the overcoming of the powers of darkness and darkness. We must rise to the occasion, and so carry out a destiny that shall win the respect and admiration of the Great Creator of the Universe Himself. Standing in the broad light of a new day that is dawning for all mankind, we pledge ourselves to the Great Source of Life, that we shall not fail. Ours is the stuff of which heroes are made. Therefore, fully realizing our great and important place amongst the sons of men, we prepare our souls to work unrelentingly and unsurvivingly, for the betterment of the human race, for the freedom of the Negro, and the redemption of the African. LOOKING INWARD,FACING FORWARD WE STAND in a peculiar position today, as, gazing across the seas with eager eyes, with hearts beating high with expectancy, we vision a future when the Negro will have come into his own, and will earn the respect and admiration of the other races of men, by his sheer achievement, by the power of his mind, by the courage of his heart, by the largeness of his soul, by the strength of his arm, and by his all-round demeanor in a series of situations, the like of which have hardly ever confronted any race of men, since the world began. What will the future tell? How will our histories be chronicled when these days shall have been passed into the stillness of oblivion. Will the Negro race be swallowed up in the darkness of despair? Will the Negro have reached his goal? Will he have brought his dreams into realization and be present with the other successful ones, who are rejoicing in the glorious freedom of a new day? These are some questions of vital interest to every one of us. These are things for us to ponder, weigh well, and decide; and upon our decisions, and upon how we step forth to carry out those decisions, and the bringing into reality of the desires to which we would give expression, will depend the answer which time will make to the questions outlined above. Because of this, and because the present time is one of great expectations, it is well for us, while facing forward, to pause, for one brief moment, and take a look within. While looking within, let us be true to ourselves. Let us banish deceit from our very existence. Let us look into the innermost recesses of our souls, searching, with uncompromising earnestness and truth, and see if there is anything within us that savors of unmanliness, of weakness of any form, of any quality that will hinder us from meeting the tests to the satisfaction of a waiting world, eagerly watching our utterances and strivings, anything whatever that will interfere with our carrying to a satisfactory and successful conclusion the dreams which we are weaving in the ether today. For, this is testing time. Henceforth this race of Negroes will be passing through the crucible; and in the heat of that great trial only the fittest will survive. One great decision we will be called upon to make. Are we willing to make the sacrifices necessary ere we can attain that which we have set our hearts upon? One great question we will have to answer to the satisfaction of Creation and its Maker; and we shall have to answer in deeds, not in words. And that great question is, "Is the Negro worthy of a place among the others of the sons of men?" Is he fit to survive? Look within brethren. Root out today, everything that would prevent us from answering those questions in the affirmative, both in words and in deeds. For, remember, in the last analysis, not words, but action will tell. While therefore we are facing forward, let us look within, for the assurance that all is well, and that there is nothing lacking in this great race of Negroes, from reaching its goal; from mapping out its destiny, in its own desired way; from securing our own place in the sun, where we can each live under our vine and fig-tree, lighting a new path to freedom and advancement, a brilliant example to our fellows, and a glory to God. Editorial Opinions of the Negro Press All the Negro can learn from these deductions is that he is as good as anyone else; that his salvation is tied up with that of the group, and that the only sane course is to band together for mutual welfare. There is no doubt about the fact that Negroes will stick together. We need some men to sell the Negro to himself and then to the world. If we can be led to believe that we ought to have a car on a salary of $10 a week, we can be led to stick together too close for comfort. Big business creates its markets by skillful appeal to all types of men in all kinds of ways. We, too, can create pride of race by using the adhesive of widespread advertising of the true nature of our condition and the logical remedy. The whose outcry is void of good sense as well as of good intent. Only men who are ignorant of their country's history could make it. Thomas Jefferson, whose example is above their criticism, gives full, perfect and sufficient answer to all they say in the invitation he extended to Benjamin Banneker, the Negro astronomer, "Social equality" is an empty phrase, a veritable bogey man which small souls use to frighten the American people off their balance. Negro people are receiving quite a bit of criticism on their weak points from all sources at this time. Running true to style as all flesh, there is a hue and cry when some one is hit. Negro people justify much criticism, as all other people. And it is to be hoped it will continue. Out of this criticism should come something worthwhile in the way of constructive benefits to the people at large eventually. Among considerations due a wide range of observation and criticism, is "Negro leadership." The times forbids a change in "Negro leadership" as the people make economic progress, and a partial solution of the so-called Negro problem, in a measure, are fairly unreliable to what has been called "Negro leadership." What is Success? Plan your work and work your plan are basic, fundamental, necessary—they are the universal laws of success. There never was a time when consecrated thought and unstinted effort were not rewarded by a full measure of success, and there never will be. If the white man in South Africa is as superior as he makes himself out to be, why in the name of goodness must he resort to mean, artificial measures of blockading the bottom dog in protecting himself? Why ignore, and even denounce the sublime advice of "Rhodes," of equal rights to every man South of Zambesi? We learn every day that there can be no equality between white and Black in Africa. Does the white South African really think we have lost our manhood to the extent of accepting these statements lying down? Then they are miserably mistaken. If Hertzog says white South Africa, we say Black Africa, from Cape to Calreo. The Chicago Whip says that a certain type of white merchant that established himself in purely Negro communities, and at the same time is supporting restaurants and other places that discriminate against and insult Negro trade. Speaking of conditions in Chicago, the Whip says "While these places have not bung the "for white only" signs out, they save, nevertheless, made it very plain that colored people are not wanted. These restaurants and barbershops are supported by merchants who consider themselves too far above us to come into any sort of contact with us except such contact as is necessary to blood us of our hard-crown money. If citizens would fight these establishments, they would either have to come their discrimination policy or incur criminal." The People's Forum I would appreciate your giving publicity to the following for me: The sitting of the Sixth Annual International Convention of the UNL A. at Kingston, Jamaica will be a red letter day for Negroes the world over. Let me parody the historic words of the Pamela Patrick Henry: "AFRICA OR DEATH," that's the warry! Nons but those with warped mental perspective could disagree with the very comprehensive programme of the Hon. Marc Garvey. I know the world is looking forward to the findings of this convention, the aims and objects of which are for the advancement of the NEGRO race, who demand a place in the Sun. The Negro is solely claiming what is rightfully his! Why is not there greater harmony of the races of mankind? Is it a fear of the rising possibility of the astute Negro? This great race cannot be imposed upon any longer; and demands what is rightfully due. The idea of delegating members from this convention to present the Negro case at the League of Nations at Geneva, Switzerland, is not only laudable, but just, and much praise must be given the Hon. Marcus Garvey for his move in this direction. Why cannot there be a better understanding between the race of mankind? sooner or later this imposition of one race upon another will bring about another unforgettable conflict; for the rights of smaller nations must be respected! I sincerely hope that the just demands of the Hon. Marcus Garvey on behalf of the Negro will be taken into consideration and given its just due. My final prayer is for the success of the convention, and the eventual consummation of the just claims of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and the Negro Peoples of the World. GEORGE FOOTE Member of Div. 18. Color Vast Difference Between Public Interest and Own Personal Bias To the Editor of the Negro World: I desire to bring to the attention of those persons interested in community welfare and group improvement, the importance of a much-needed correction in our former methods of selection. Public matters concern the many, and should, therefore, be viewed broad-minded. Private matters, however, generally concern the few, and should not be confused with those of public interest. Leadership necessitates a program. Programs must have leaders. Practical programs demand practical leaders who are capable of visualizing the fulfillment of their ideas. In passing judgment upon these leaders, we should analyze their theories and explanations for the public good, instead of scrutinizing these individuals for personal criticism and probable antipathies. Such practices do not deter those of stable worth, but often retard the rapidity of our progress and collective success. The 'dog in the manger' attitude, never profits those who adopt it. Intelligence dictates that we should live and learn—and learn to live. Ability and fitness, rather than personality should govern our choice of public servants. Not how well do we "like" them, but how well are they prepared or qualified to render such service, as the occasion may require. The intimacy of the social atmosphere is necessarily personal, but all matters of community or public welfare should subordinate personalities for efficiency. The last presidential campaign between Secretary Hoover and Governor Smith was a splendid demonstration of this point. Governor Alfred Smith was unquestionably, the most popular candidate, but because of the outstanding qualifications of Mr. Hoover, he was chosen by an overwhelming majority. Many issues were involved in that campaign that will greatly influence the future of this nation. When the destiny of a people is at stake, statesmanship is sought—men with "opinions and a will"—for friendship oftimes proves fickle. There is in motion by certain forces, an attempt to rehabilitate the Negro pastorate for racial leadership; but the former type of preachers must renounce their foolish deprenialism before they can be of any real service to the people. Preachers who have had but one appeal to the masses—emotionalism—must experience a re-birth, and give to the people, sound, constructive, and logical instruction. Here, too, we must be careful to make the distinction between public good and personal him. The kind, depressed, attention of our church failure has been most heartily appreciated, but the time has come when we must supplement the prairiehood, with other training of humane importance. When Christianity or some other religion destitute has become universally accepted and adopted, then and only then can we train our followers to the leadership, of the Church. Here the Church must have the focus for its protection. We are in a new era, and deep sufferer things have been proven extinct and destroy therefore, should be avoided. Him. Moreover Survey has proven his claims by plausible pretensions, and he should become the unquestioned leader of the entire community. By helping Church we help everyone—by it all. To the Muller of the Negro World: It is full time for these jack-leg prosecutions of our race to stop sucking and fall in line; or they will be sorry when the reckoning time comes. Negro ministers, stop four-fluencing—stop selling out your race to the white man for a mean of potage. I am sick and tired of your damnable lies—telling the white people that the Negroes are peaceful and satisfied. You false prophets of our race, let me ask: How can a race be satisfied under the present conditions that exist? We are not wanted in England, in America—in any part of the world. We are like sheep without a shepherd. Ministers of the gospel, what solution have you for the incident that happened in North Platte, Neb., when our race was bundled together and driven out in one night? What are you going to do about that? Stop telling us about hell and heaven. Stop crashing and begging and loafing under the white man, and stand up like men and defend your race. Our indomitable leader has said "Pupios everywhere are travelling towards industrial opportunities and greater political freedom. As a race oppressed, it is for us to prepare ourselves that at any time the great change in industrial freedom and political liberty comes about, we may be able to enter into the new era as partakers of the joys to be inherited. The whole world is run on bluff. No race, no nation, no man has any divine right to take advantage of others. Why allow the other fellow to bluff you?" Awake, thou that sleepest! Arise, and Christ will shine up on the. EVA M. STEPHENSON. Los Angeles, Cal. To the Editor Neuro World: In the Negro World of June 8, 1929, "Sunday night at Liberty Hall", I saw Mr. R. T.

Thanking Our Leaders To the Editor of The Negro World: Sir, I thank you for a little space in our most wonderful paper of the world to impress my thoughts. Mr. Editor, the work you have started, my tongue could not find words to congratulate you, but as a man of our race, so full of dignity, I pray you carry on this great task "till Africa shall have been redeemed." This twentieth century in which we are living, I think we should esteem it highly, because it's in this century we as a race of people have found out our short-comings, and see where our prosperity lies. Where we can be recognized by the other races. "Leader you have taught us." Who breaks away the shady clouds of darkness from our eyes, and taught us to know as a race of people that we must stand in the world with backbone and not wishbone. "Leader you have taught us." The fear and trembling we once had—it has all disappeared. Now we can look the world with wistful eyes, demanding that which is our. All this we have developed in this twentieth century through the instrumentality of our beloved leader, Marcus Garvey, the man of the day, the man whom God moved in his own spirit to call us as a race of people from our sleepy beds, to see the light as the other races see, knowing that when the Lord said, "let there be light," it was for the universal world. And yet, we see some of our brothers and sisters who are still sleepy, still satisfied with the present conditions, saying they can't see any betterment for us. We shall be servants until we die. Why should we as God has made us, think so poor of ourselves, especially in a country like this, where we have some so-called preachers of religion, the ones which stand at the head, darten the eyes of the others by telling them only to observe a special day; look not for the sweet now and new, but lay all for the "sweet by and by," for the Negro race is late? We don't have to look at that end, but we can see him in all his strength in denyance, trying to explain the poor, sleepy Negro, like himself, to stern the other failure growth and fails to tell them to make plans for themselves where they can try to escape starvation and entrapment which is overcoming us. ARTICLES XXIV If any difference shall arise, in either party infringing on any of the articles of this Treaty, peace and harmony shall remain notwithstanding in the fullest sense, until a friendly application shall be made for an arrangement, and until that application shall be rejected, no appeal shall be made to arms. And if a war shall break out between the parties, nine months shall be granted to all the subjects of both parties to dispose of their effects and retire with their property. And it is further declared that whatever intelligence, in trade or otherwise, shall be granted to any of the Xian Powers, the citizens of the United States shall be equally entitled to them. ARTICLE XXV. This Treaty shall continue in full force, with the help of God, for fifty years. We have delivered this book into the hands of the before-mentioned Thomas Barclay, on the 12th day of the blessed month of Ramadan, in the year of Mohammet one thousand two hundred. I certify that the annexed is a true copy of the translation made by Isaac Cardoza Nunez, interpreter at our Moroccan Court, in the year above mentioned, between the United States of America and the African Emperor of Morocco. THOMAS BARCLAY. Now know ye that we, the said John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, ministers plenipotentiary aforesaid, do approve and conclude the said treaty, and every article and clause therein contained, reserving the same, nevertheless, to the United States in Congress assembled, for their final ratification. In testimony whereof we have signed the same with our names and seals, at the places of our respective residences, and at the dates expressed under our signatures. THOMAS JEFFERSON, L. S. Paris, Jan. 1, 1787. Yet, in spite of the above, we are told that Africa is incapable of self-government. Well, we Nationalists are out to prove it, and we have a suspicion that we will do satisfactorily; for we believe that, in spite of the propaganda of the consortiums of Xtian nations to the contrary, we are able and capable to make Africa (in spite of all obstacles) the seat of human rights and universal culture. A. V. B. Hall so the Sixth International Negro Convention of the World. God great that its labors be grown with success! God of our fathers, arise! Scatter our enemies, frustrate their knavish tricks, endow our delegates and deputies with wisdom from on high, and show them how, in union strong, the Nationalist Negro Movement can be found. OPEN GREETINGS Excellency, you will be good enough to accept and convey thy glad tidings and good greetings to the elected representatives of the Negro peoples of the world, now in convention assembled, and say that I pray that they act with such dignity and decorum in solving the tedious problems of the race. That the world will have just cause to admire and honor them for the services rendered to God, humanity and Africa. Remember, at this time, the eyes of the world are leveled upon you, and upon YOUR ACTIONS—Bryan. It is to be hoped that are the rising of this convention a solution will be found whereby the various tribal governments can be effectively approached and, after all, it is nothing so tedious that it should baffle us. Ways and means must be found for the approach and maintenance of our cause, at the established National centres throughout the world, especially throughout Africa and Asia and in some parts of Europe, specifically Berlin, Paris, Moscow and Turkey. That is, if we really mean to redeem Africa. I have already potated out, sometimes ago, in an article in the Negro World, how to teach and combat successfully the problem of languages and dialects, and, in my opinion, if this is done, the dyne will be blown up, and the barriers broken down, and the way will be clear for an United African endanger. Theatricals and Cricket Despite the weather, which has been stifling, Connies' "Hot Chocolates at the Hudson Theatre continues to click the turn-stiles merrily. The failure of its "colorada madure" companion "Bembooak" down broadway last Saturday, has not affected this production in the slightest. "Jazzigs" Richardson, Baby Con, Edith Wilson and the other stars, keep things humming from start to finish. It takes a mighty good show to run successfully through the dull summer season. "Hot Chocolates" has IT. The show continues to convulse its audiences with laughter. The many funny sketches inter-mixed with the versatile antics of "Jazzlips," satisfies the exacting demands of Broadway theatre-goers. The players perform without a let-down. It is always "first night" for them. A commendable spirit. The house is comfortably filled at all performances. "Hot Chocolates" is with us for an indefinite run.

Now Under Staging 2 Matches As an appetiser for the high class cricket fodder about to be offered the fans next month with the arrival of the Visiting Bermudian cricket eleven, the Bermuda Sporting Club, sponsors of the invading ensemble will put on two fine matches at Starlight Park on the 3rd and 6th of August. The West Indian C. C. will tangle with the Pick of the Commonwealth League on Saturday the 3rd of August. They are playing a return engagement; West Indian C. C. having lost the first test. They have a good excuse: the men were way below form. None can be offered on the above date as the team is now performing in a noteworthy manner. A banner throng will no doubt turn out for this match, as it is likely to prove the best game, so far, for the season. West Indian C. C.'s "old guard" will be there on massa. Every club is keen to beat West Indians, for some reason or other. They want to see the champions beaten. Very sadism they have their wants gratified. It is amusing to watch the expressions on the faces of members of contending clubs; when they meet the W. I. C. C. They realize they are meeting the champions. In consequence, they are nervous, excitable. In contrast, West Indians are cool; confident, almost to the point of carelessness; and they are so generous.

Not On Visitors Schedule Looking over the matches scheduled to be played by the visiting Bermudian cricket team we note that the champions, national champions W. I. C. C. is not on the list of clubs to be met by the overseas visitors. The fans demand this match. No body of cricketers can invade this country and return claiming superiority without first contending the claim for supremacy with the leading club of the country. W. I. C. C. has proven its worth time after time. It cannot be ignored. The fans want to see this match. It is good business policy on the part of the Bermudian Sporting Club to gratify their desires. You cannot argue with the people on whose support the success of the venture lies. Particular Stress Laid On Negro Athletes to Participate in Events The Labor Sports Union of America, an amateur organization, will hold its Third National Track and Field Meet, on the 24th and 25th of August, at the Flushing Memorial Field. Flushing, L. I. Far from putting any restrictions against the participation of Negro athletes in its athletic meet, or any other activities for that matter, the Labor Sports Union is making special efforts to secure entries from colored sport clubs for its meet. The Labor Sports Union is strictly an amateur pro-labor sport organization and is interested in the promotion of sports and athletic activities among the working people. At present it has ninety clubs affiliated in it with a total membership of over seven thousand members. In its principles there is contained a clause to the effect that "The Labor Sports Union is opposed to race discrimination and will fight race discrimination on sports and social field." Boxing Shadow IT seems to me that the New York boxing commission allows the foreign white prize fighters more opportunities around New York than native white boys; especially so when applied to champions. Take the case of Tommy Loughran, when he wanted to box heavyweights in this city. The commission clamped down on it tight. They told Tommy that if he could not fight at the light-heavyweight poundage he could not fight at all. So said so done. He was forced to cancel about two bouts hereabouts on this ruling. Now take the case of Andge Routis, the Frenchman, who is the world's featherweight champion. Routis has entered into about five engagements since he returned to the States, and do you believe it, not one of these bouts was fought at the featherweight poundage. He lost four of these fights on decisions and in the last one he was knocked for a row of peanuts by Al Singer, of the Bronx; and it only took Al two rounds to apply the brakes. I want to know why did the commission allow Routis to take this match? Why did they not rule against him, the same way they did against Loughran? I ask, is this fair? This fellow Routis is nothing but a Ham, why is he allowed to parade under the featherweight crown when it would almost kill him to make the weight. Pick out the best featherweight and force this Routis frog-eater to meet him. Kid Chocolate is the boy. This match should be closed at once to take place in September, or sooner. Routis should not be allowed the six months rule here because he did not fight in his division the last time out. Quit this juggling of affairs and let us get down to business in the boxing game. I personally would not spend a chinman's dime to see some of those would-be-champs of today in action. They are nothing but false alarms and never register. So shoot the works and let us get over with it, please. Playing Personel of Cricket Team The playing list of the overseas team is as follows: Charles M. Fox, captain; Amon Hunte, vice-captain; Alma Hunte, Eric Hunte, O. Simons, C. Philipot, E. Gilbert, S. Tucker, E. Swainson, A. Steeds, D. Nearon, E. Watson, A. Durante, A. Hayward. On the welcoming committee are Dr. Leo Fitz Nearon, Counsellor John W. Smith, Rev. Martin and Ashley Butterfield. Fitzy Hinds, Cricket Veteran in Hospital Word has been received that Fitzy Hinds, old veteran cricket internationalist is in Roosevelt Hospital suffering from kidney trouble. Beloved Fitzy was one of the few active members of the "Old Guard" that incomparable troupe of cricketers that have endeared their names to posterity. Just a few of these old sports remain in flannels O. Layne, Geo. Hinds, brother of Fitz O. Hope and Sherlun can still be seen disporting themselves on the cricket fields of New York. It is our sincere hope that genial Fitz will recover from his aliment in time to represent his club, West Indian C. C., against the invasion of the visiting Bermudian Cricket aggregation that is due here on August 5th. The same fighting spirit that has carried him to the top of the cricket world will no doubt enable him to beat his malignant affliction.

Very good prices for such a card, as all these fellows are noted for slinging mitts aplenty. ```markdown ``` AL BROWN'S life story that appeared in the Police Gazette issue of July 20th was surely interesting. It lial indeed gratifying to be able to read such an inspirational news release on the life of a gentleman as Al. I have known Al Brown for quite some time; but was never prompted to question him regarding his early life, or the steps in his climb to international fame; and finally a championship crown. There is nothing more for Al to achieve in the realm of prime fighting, as he has ascended to the highest peak. Anyway, Al, you will have to keep in good condition awaiting challengers. They may not pop up now, but if word got out that you were on the downward grade they would be knocking at your door. Funny about these 'fay boys. They seldom want to take on a colored boy that is good. So my advice to you is keep plugging them on the chin and as often as possible, as you will be able to get more action out of engagements than you can in a gymnasium. The best of luck and good health to you A1. ```markdown ``` OUTSTANDING bouts that would prove great attractions before the outdoor season closes are to my mind as follows: George Godfrey va. the leading white heavyweight hope or disappointment, as you may call it; and since Tommy Loughran has deserted the light-heavyweight division, a bout between Lou Willems and Jimmy Braddock, for the supremacy of this division, would be a gala attraction. HARLEM A By Darold Le PRINT I have bartered my love; on the altar of dreams. Living in tomorrow's tomo, row. I have broken a heart for vague ideals. My soul lies stricken in sorrow. These arms have held a treasure rare; But not 'till' 'twas lost did I know. How much it was needed. (I still care. Had I known, I would not have acted so.) Meading for pardon, on bended knee. My faults to somehow amend. I would come back, sweet-heart, to thee; But foolish pride cannot descend To love's humility. Why is it that the chorus "gels" have such an indifferent attitude while performin' before Harlem audiences? They seem to take no interest in the work they are gettin' paid for. Dancin' in a slip-shod manner; chatterin' with each other; out of step and many more unpardonable sins. Gels' . . . You'll never hit the "big time" that way. You can't tell who is watchin' you . . . in front of the lights. TREASURE I went to the beach last Thursday. First time for the year. Got my coat of tan. When I returned and looked in the mirror . . . I frightened myself. Thinkin' of usin' some guaranteed bleach. Per'aps you can help me by slippin' me the info. Everybody's don' it now. On my way to the beach, a little boy in the bus, hugged to his breast a cardboard box with the words "Crown Jewels" written on it. He gazed around with such a belligerent expression on his features, that would be robbers were afraid to tackle him. The "Crown Jewels" were safely transported. The box held the kid's lunch. BY THE WAY I rode back on a friend's motorcycle. He is one speed demon. How that boy like to go'.

Al Singer knocked out Andre Routis in the second round of a scheduled ten rounder, which has upset the featherweight division. BLACK BILL, conventional Cuban flyweight, can easily be considered the flyweight champion, because Ivy Schwartz, the would-be champion refuses to meet him. Here again, is a case for the boxing Commission. Why all this discontent in the boxing racket? Why are fighters allowed to do as they please? Where is the John? Black Bill met and dedicated Marty Gold, of Philadelphia, in the main event, that took place at Beechway Stadium last Friday evening. Bill forced the fighting all the way and took every round easily. This Gold boy is no slouch either. No one can say that Bill is not putting up good fights here of late. Marty outweighed Bill by four and a half pounds. I will not be a satisfied man until I see Bill and Schwartz in there together. When in New York mostly all of the colored fighters go in training at the New Garden Gymnasium in West 123th street near Seventh avenue.

A Would-Be Mother. A desire for children is one of our noblest instincts and one which is highly praised by the most respect- able people. Although these same people are always deploring modern woman's lack of children and desire for them, you would be condemned, I believe, for wanting a child. But, I also believe, that you would not be condemned if they understood your situation. Even the narrowest mind is capable of human sympa- thy. The chief reason why marriage became an institution was for the protection of offspring. The funda- mental reason why zoclety frowns upon illegitimate children is so that they will not become a public burden. If parents are made legally respon- sible for their children, there iz more possibility that these children will grow up well-fed and educated te take a proper place in the social scheme.

People seléom realise this fact and confuse it with religion But the two do met necemarily go tegether.

Italy is more religious than England, but sit- uaticns that are a commoaplace in Italy would be « scandal in England. A child which {s born because de- sired usually turns out well, in spite of obstacles. We have many illustri- ous examples to prove this. Leanardo Da Vinci, the greatest artist that ever lived, was a child of love. Bo was Erasmus, whose philosophy and laudation of the New Testament, in Neu of the Old, laid the foundation of the Protestant religion. ‘There is no doubt that it is safer and more pleasant to steer clear of conflict with society’s conventions, for, almost invariably, the child suf- fers as much as the mother.

Muchos de ellos son vendidos a buen precio por el hecho de contener la clase de información que dichas revistas y dichos periódicos desean. Imperio de esclaves en una ocasión actualmente sitio de reunión para un cánclave de emancipación. Grandes esfuerzos para hacer de la presente convención internacional una reunión cuyo recuerde quode imperocedero en nuestras mentes. Cooperación de parte de nuestra prensa para un plan de relaciones mas estrechas. Importancia del pago de las cuotas. Un articulo es generalmente aceptado no por la verdad de los hechos que exponga, sino por el valor de propaganda para la publicación que lo paga. Si un periodico patrocina una propaganda inimica a los intereses de muecatra raza, no ha de comprar artículos que expongan nuestras debilidades y con la mayor exageración, satisfaciendo de ese modo el tesis de los interesados. Con gran entusiasmo ha inaugurado sus sesiones la sexta convención internacional de los pueblos negros en la ciudad le Kingston, isla de Jamaica. Se augura que dicha convención erá la mas importante en la historia de nuestra organización, siendo muy significativo el que la isla de Jamaica haya sido el sitio donde la trata de esclavos tuvo efecto primero en las polónias de las Indias Occidentales. Como una indicación del daño que esos señores escritores ocasionan a nuestra raza, hacemos referencia a un artículo publicado en un período de blancos de la localidad. por el éxito obtenido por el presidente de una de muestras instituciones commerciales, haciéndole aparecer como la persona mas afortunada entre nuestro elemento en este iado del Atlántico. Cuando la esclavitud fue instituida, Jamaica se distinguió por lo prolífico en la trata industrial del comercio de esclavos. La isla estuvo siempre en primera línea en este comercio denigrante y la mayoría de los negros exportados y distribuidos por America, salfan de esta colonia como centro de cambio en el negocio. Siendo, pues, Jamaica el centro donde se ilevó a cabo el comercio esclavista antiguamente, ese hecho puede servir de insentivo para reunimos allí, en la vieja colonia esclava, con el alto propósito de dirimir nuestra propia liberación. El escritor en cuestión manifesta que dicha persona inició su corporación solamente diez años ha, que su salario actual es de muchos miles de pesos y que su capital asciende a varios millones, creyendo habelerle puesto por las cubes. Pero el hombre blanco ha de conceptuarle siempre como un individuo identificado con una raza, a la cual se le tiene muy poca consideración y menor respeto. Aparte de ser un sitio histórico, la isla de Jamaica es uno de los países mas saludables y la isla mas hermosa que pueda disfrutar nación alguna. Miles y miles de turistas van anualmente a la isla en busca de salud y a gozar de las maravillas de lo rico y saludable de su delicioso clima. Con el objeto de provener a los delegados de la convención con las mismas comodidades, las oficinas generales de nuestra organización en la isla, adquirió extensas propiedades para dar la bienvenida y acomodarles debidamente. De que modo y en tan corto tiempo fue adquirida esa fortuna, sera el enigma, que se intentara decifrar, luego de haber leido el artículo en cuestion. El gran error de la mayor parte de nuestras instituciones commerciales estriba en que sus directores generalmente intentan hacerse ricos de la noche al día, siendo ello la causa principal de la bancarrota. El elemento que asiste a esta magna reunión de nuestra raza ha de tener inudablemente una temporada festiva. Desgraciadamente al negro norteamericano no se le ha presentado la aportuinidad de viajar extensivamente, no estando por lo tanto en contacto con el progreso mundial de su propio elemento. Al blanco americano, por otro lado, le gusta viajar y he aquí su gran conocimiento por lo extensivo de sus viajes, en el campo de la industria y del comercio que lo hacen su lider máximo. Cuando alguien entre nuestro elemento termina sus estudios, entra regularmente en el campo comercial con el unico propósito de enriquecer a costas de sus clientes. Cuando las acciones de tal o cual corporación son vendidas, se advierte generalmente que de la acumulación del capital se benefician solamente una o dos personas, lo cual crea sospecha y desconfianza. A tal conclusión nos lleva, no la intención del escritor, sino la esencia del artículo a que hacemos referencia. La acutal convención en la isla de Jamaica ofrece tanto al negro norteamericano como al negro antillano como al negro africano, la gran oportunidad para que venga a un entendido para una campaña de negocios entre sí. No hay razón por la cual todos estos no consuman sus productos y la exportación de los mismos se mutualice, de manera que unos y otros se ayuden y puedan desarrollar grandes relaciones de orden económico. La prensa de nuestra raza puede en sus columnas editoriales, cooperar grandemente hacia la consecución de tal fin. A nuestro mejor modo de entender. nuestra raza cares de instituciones comerciales en las cuales, tanto el que invierte como el que administra disfruten por igual de los beneficios obtenidos. Es algo dificultoso hallar honestidad en muchas de nuestras instituciones comerciales por la idea erronea de sus empleados. Nuestra experiencia nos enseña que el promedio general del empleado intenta obtener el mayor beneficio a costas del que le emplea. Tal actitud hemos de combatir toda vez que se presente la oportunidad y salgan a la luz artículos que tiendan a patricinar tal idea. En el fragor de la lucha por el enaltecimiento de nuestro elemento, siempre nos ha abrigado la esperanza de que ese ideal ha de ser patrocinado por personas de preclaro entendimiento. Grandes posibilidades afrontan hoy día a nuestra raza negra. Nosotros podemos ver todos nuestros esfuerzos coronados con el éxito, siempre y cuando edifiquemos en base sólida con buenos cimientos tal como lo predica la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Ella desea demonstrar al universo entero en la actual reunión internacional de nuestro elemento, la clase de material de que estan hechos sus constituyentes. Nuestra raza necesita de sus hijos con entereza de caracter; directores industriales y comerciales que con gran táctica y mayor celo velen por los inertes que se les haya encomendado, recibiendo por consiguiente la parte de beneficios que a los corresponde. Seria preferible decir de un hombre que el ha constituido una gran corporación comercial o industrial, en la cual ha procurado empleo a millones de su raza, quienes con buena recompensa y mejor tratamiento, se sientan gente entre la gente, desenvolviendose en un ambiente de paz y de prosperidad, a decir que ese mismo individuo se ha enriquecido en un corto periodo de tiempo, a costas tal vez de la ignorancia de sus semejantes. La actual convención ha de elegir doce delegados, representantes de los intereses de la raza negra, para que asistan a la décima sesión de la Liga de Naciones que se celebrará en Ginebra. Queremos, desde luego, hombres representativos de todas partes del mundo para que sean enviados allf. Con ral objeto advertimos una y otra vez desde estas columnas el que cada comunidad de la raza enviara a la convencón su representante mas habil, ya fuere este mujer u hombre. La disparidad y el desacuerdo son detestables, toda vez que se labore por una obra unificadora. Los gastos que ocasionen la celebración de la convención y el envío de los doce delegados a la Liga de Naciones serán ingcalculables aum; por ello nuestra apelación a las divisions en general con el objeto de que envien regularmente sus cuotas, según estel estipulado en el segilamento de nuestra organización. Paga llevar a cabo las empresas y la solución de los multiples problemas que como pueblo nos afectan, es imprecindiblemente notoriar la cooperación moral y material de nuestro elemento. Hacia tal fin laborama. "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER" Why not learn to speak "FANTI-GOLD COAST"?

Washington days have arrived, beinging more responsibility to those who cannot afford to take a vacation in the country. While school is in session, there is regular thing, eating and hearing for school. In school, there are regular routine and task. This daily exercise in forming regular habits is by no means the least important of the results for which the school strives. Knowing this, the wife mother begins new to give thought to the daily program for her child, between school closing and opening. She realizes the danger of allowing a complete lapse of child discipline. But she must not spoil the joy of vacation by being over-careful. If she will let the spirit of play pervade all of her directing, she can attain a happy household through some sort of routine for each day. Little girls love to play "house." Morning tasks may be giver to them which they will find possible and enjoyable. The mother is now the teacher and the house the class room. Mother must take time to give much needed training in house work. Home cooking, cleaning and sewing is within the ability of even a five-year-old. A party new and then calls forth all of this ability and is a suitable reward as well as a chance to show what has been learned. A sewing club is a pleasant variation and adds the social feature. Boys like to run errands. They may be trained to see the business end of marketing, especially if the mother herself has the up-to-date manager's preparation for so important a task. A boy will learn much in reading, geography, economics and arithmetic, if he is led to read the morning's paper for easily comprehended market news for the day. Actual trading at the stands will keep him abent and sharp as well as make him an interested party in the household economy. Incidentally, he gets some muscle exercise carrying hams the purchases. Some boys like to press and iron clothes; others prefer the odd carpentry jobs around the house. Whatever is suitable and likable for the boy to do should be given him as part of his daily outline of activities. To make these tasks more enjoyable, a certain amount of competition is suggested. The children might keep a score card for best and quickest performance. The mother should enter into the game and set as scorekeeper. Rewards, if any, must be used sparingly, to avoid training the child to expect pay for every service rendered. However, a trip to the sunshade, a picnic to the park, a bike with friends or father, are better forms of reward than money on the match ever-worked "movie." An hour a day should be set aside for quiet reading or study by the older children; for sleep, by the younger ones. The best time for this is the hour after the mid-day meal. Those children who are cultivating an interest in music might take their recreation in this way. Another rest period should take place after the supper dishes have been cleared away. If each child has done his part during the day, mother will not be too becoming an assembly of its kind, a second note, this time, to the League of Nations and the Vatican State at Rome, protesting against the unethical and un-Christian acts of the principal and associated Christian powers committed in Africa under the impulses of Christian civilization to the entire disgust and detriment of Africa at home and abroad. Do not fall to let the white world know that we are ready to form an alliance with all the darker races of the world, in a desperate effort (though late it may be) to keep Africa black, and cost what it may, we are ready to throw ourselves in the open arms of our Oriental friends, to maintain and further our cause, even if it costs us half of the population of the black world. Nevertheless, Africa must remain black, as God intended. Let all native Africans refuse to divulge one single secret to the European and all of his scientific works and his gratitude about making Africa a white man's country, will fall to the winds. For Africa in the black man's country, and we are out to make it remain so. BRYAN.

Among the multitude of "surveys" is that of the Negro in business which has recently been cochoked. It was conducted by the National Negro Business League, an organization founded by the late Booker T. Washington in 1800. At that time there were two Negro banks in the United States. Now, as stated in the Negro Year Book, there are seventy-three. Negro business enterprises in 1900, as estimated in the same publication, numbered 20,000, as compared with 70,000 in 1924. It was to discover how the Negro business men conducted their affairs and in what ways they might conduct them better that the survey was undertaken. It was given the support and co-operation of the Lafayette Spelman Memorial Fund. Studies were made of 2,817 enterprises employing 17,097 persons. Negro businesses were in thirty-three cities, all in Southern and border States except Columbus, Cleveland and Indianapolis.

Contractors and builders employed sixty-nine of them: grocers, fifty-one. When it comes to the competition which the Negro businessman must meet, he puts in first place the independent establishment of the white man, but, like this one of his competitors, he must find means of doing business in the face of the competition of the chain stores. That he is reasonably successful is indicated by the fact that more than thirty-two per cent of the businesses studied have been in existence for more than five years. Dr. Paul T. Cherington, director of research of the J. Walter Thompson Company and professor of marketing in Stanford University, regards this record as one that "would compare favorably with the longduty record of any similar group Dr. Charington, who, as a member of the advisory committee of the survey, wrote an introduction to the report, sums up the record as one, when taken as a whole, thoroughly creditable and deserving "the thoughtful study of all who are interested in the future of this important branch of American mercantile interests." He adds: "There never has been a time in the history of American business when the lot of the small retail trader was as difficult as it now is, and it is much to the credit of those Negro business men who are finding a place for themselves in these troublesome retail days that their record compares so favorably with that of their white confessors and competitors."

TURMERGON INSTITUTE, ALA. The weekly summary of economic conditions as compiled by the National Negro Business League presents a continued gradual stamp in labor conditions and a decidedly pennantic note in the editorials of leading Negro newspapers. The employment problem of the annual harvest of graduates together with the loss of the dining car service on an important railroad are contributions to thisposium. Commenting in the Norfolk Journal and Guide on the displacement of Negro waiters in the dining car services of the Northern Pacific Railroad, Gordon R. Hammock warns that this may mean the future encroachment upon domestic service by whites. "The white man in domestic service," he says, "is no longer an experiment; he is a very stubborn fact with which Negroes will in time learn to reckon." The Hot Springs (Ark.) Ethel believes "bobbed haired" waitresses in these dining cars will be troublesome and adds that the travelers on the Northern Pacific will miss "Old George" with his smiling "yamir." The white papers are even sympathetic with our potential difficulties growing out of this displacement. Under the title "Eblowing Negroes Out," the New York World notes the Northern Pacific change in policy and adds: "This action follows . . . a recent tendency to narrow the Negroes industrial field. . . . Continue to limit that and the problem of the Negro in American political history must become yet more difficult than it is today." The Southern and border state papers represent the thought of those sections where the pinch is heavily felt. They continue their solemn warnings to our people to hold the jobs they have. The Kansas City Call says: "Turning out with a lodge to funerals as a fraternal duty, or going to them as a social or religious diversion, at the sacrifice of one's work, is pure nonseason." The Savannah (Ga.) Tribute adds: "This is no time for shooing, half-handed, careless work on the part of our race, and especially is this true in these crimes through which the Negro artisan is now passing. It is not Rand Beginning of Wisdom, the most truthfully wonderful book of today, that relates to every day acts of life. It contains such revelation as Gods astonishing purpose in the Negro Problem.

TUSKINGHAM INSTITUTE. Ala.—Following the campaign for Better Business which was conducted by The National Negro Business League in Winston-Salem, N. C., the retail grocers in all part of the country have been making inquiries, and the annual report of the Secretary's office, which is now in preparation, will show the largest number of new local leagues in the history of the organization. Since the last annual meeting of the League, local leagues in the following cities have been organized or reorganized: McGoe, Arkansas; Pine Bull, Ark.; Lakeland, Fla.; Bartow, Fla.; Apopha, Fla.; Arcadia, Fla.; Brunowick, Ga.; Douglas, Ga.; Galenville, Ga.; Millidgeville, Ga.; Das Mehn, Ia.; Paducah, Ky.; Arlington, Mass.; Pontine, Mich.; Detroit, Mich.; Koscinski, Mia.; Canton, Mia.; Omaha, Neb.; Camden, N.
