XXVL—No. 2 NEW YORK. SATURDAY. AUGUST 17, 1929 Negroes Must Understand Cause For Which They Fight-The Fight For Negro Liberty Must Be Won-Opening of Sixth International Convention A Great Success The Chieftain As He Is Today Delegates From All Over World Present At Great Conclave—U. N. I. A. Gives New Inspiration To Fight For Racial Freedom, Africa's Redemption Jamaica All A-Quiver With Enthusiasm Race Must Move Forward on Higher Plane Says President-General Get-Together," "Organize," is Divine Injunction All Creation Looks On. Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: Just at this time there is a well organized propaganda and conspiracy engineered by a combination of forces known and unknown, seen and unseen, in the United States of America, and different parts of the world, to undermine the powerful influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in uniting Negroes everywhere. This propaganda and conspiracy is being conducted on the one hand by some of our one-time slave masters, who have never been able to outlive the idea that the Negro should be anything else but a slave, and on the other hand by a cheap, brainless, conscienceless, treacherous disloyal band of Negro probates who, like traitors of all causes, national, secular and religious, are ever willing to sell themselves for the thirty dirty pieces of silver. It is difficult for me to explain thoroughly and as clearly as I would like to the complete make-up of the combinations that are now organized to fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the finite hopes of preventing us from realizing our great objective of an enunciated race, and a free and redeemed Africa. Men of the race, you must understand this, that the cause for which you fight, which is to liberate yourselves, industrially, commercially, socially, educationally, religiously, politically, and to establish a great nation of our own in Africa, is a purpose that is beyond the maximum of certain people in ours as a race. They do not desire to see the Negro anything else but a slave, a poem, a surf, therefore, any idea that would bind in any way to make the Negro a full man, self-sufficient, self-sufficient, independent, is an idea that will be fought by them to the bitter end. All kinds of subterfuges will be brought by upon the great name of liberty for the race, so as to thwart the exploitation of the great plan. Strategy, diplomacy and counter plans of all kinds will be resorted to to defeat the noble work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They, our hereditary slave members, those of them who are married, needed enough to still oppose the Negro, when they find that they disobeyed them despite the death law for disobeying the unwritten laws of the Negro for freedom. However and been disobeyed, will employ good and unlawful men even then, possibly from their hometown, so as to be able that they work, and hence of the time in life with such circumstances. Management of Negroes who still obeying under the laws of our national law, who are not well known among and "God Bless Marcus Garvey" "Long May He Live" Is Cry of Africa and the Awakened Negro Africa for the Africans 'General Chiang Kai-Shik rose from a simple broker's clerk in Shanghai to the dignity and power of his high office,' so writes Kari H. von Wiegand, international journalist and correspondent. Let me quote for example. Jesus the Christ, was born in a manager and of lowly birth. He was a carpenter's boy, and yet he was born to be the leader of the world. Abraham Lincoln, the martyred president of America, and many others were born poor and had to work for a living, but yet they became leaders of the greatest and richest republic, America. And let me say, but but yet least in this 20th century, a good leader was born to the Negro peoples of the world, from an Isle of the Sea, to lead his people to freedom—a true blooded son of AFRICA, the HON. MARCUS GARVEY. He too, was born of lowly birth. Great educators try to teach people; great preachers try to convert people but no man produced through the accepted channels, has moved the world, like Marcus Garvey! Where the Negroes were aileep, he had them awakened—he had them thinking as they never thought before. The nations of the world do not fear the Lord, as they fear Marcus Garvey. They get together, and they whisper: "What manner of man is he?" But let me say to you: He is a born Leader. God sent him here to lead his people out of bondage. Like Moses, he was one of God's chosen. So let me say to you that leaders are born, not made. Glory he to God for men the type of Marcus Garvey, provisional President of Africa, and Chiang Kai-Shek, the President of the republic of China. If one man's voices can organize 11,000,000 Negroes in ten years, then he must be a born leader. God bless Marcus Garvey and long may be live. Let the Negroes about aloud and never tire: "Africa for the Africans"; let the Chinese about: "China for the Chinese," and never tire; let Gandhi hout: "India for the Indians"; and Japanese: "Japan for the Japanese." Fellowmen, let us raise our voices in unmistake fashion. DAZZLING DISPLAY OPENS SIXTH ANNUAL CONVENTION "Awake Africans! Put On Thy Strength." Is the Call of the Hour Discard Petty Differencea, Provincialisms and Trihalisms—The Grim Struggle For Your Racial Existence Has Now Begun some of "these of good and bad" more than "these of good and bad" a point that is not necessarily satisfactory will be worse than it is opposed to those whose policy it. "Moral opportunity for all irrespective of race or color," and are opposed to the policy of penalizing a man by reason of the accident of birth for which he is not responsible. and national aggrievance have been in a close British fact that the political opinion of the European population of South Africa is sharply divided as between urban and rural, not to say between those of British origin and those of Dutch origin. On the one hand are the British principles of fair play and injustice to all on a basis of Equality irrespective of race, color or creed, while on the other side is the Voor treuker policy of "No Equality between White and Black either in Church or State." The campaign has thrown into bold relief the Repressionist School of public thought as opposed to that of Liberty for all subjects of His Majesty the King of the great British Commonwealth of free Nations of all classes and climates and colors and conditions and creeds and cultures; those whose dictum is, "Keep the Blackman in his place," a place of eternal serf- Hertnogism has emerged from the Election in all its jurid colors—a doctrine of racialism of the most judicially exclusive and selfish character, of "South Africa for the Whiteman alone," as opposed to that of South Africa for all such as are therein planted by a gracious Providence whether they be White or Black, Yellow or Brown. The one School of political thought in this country has declared against the right of the Blackman to a voice in the Government of this his fatherland, while the other school has declared for "the maintenance of existing rights." Perhaps the Government Party may claim to have obtained from Cae- (Continued on Page 8) 1 in laws on the occasion of the consecration of our supreme emperor late respected Queen Victoria. We drew no parallel with these events. We enter not the arena of the supernatural, nor on the other hand do we take up the crestfallen and epiphytic attitude of the superphant—what we really want to stress is that for numbers and enthusiasm there is nothing recent to compare with this grand Convention. We know: for we have lived some years now and have the power of discernment fairly developed. There was a perceptible line of dignity and majesty in the whole affair; there was a sense of pardonable pride that carries our memory back to the great days of Egypt and Egyptian lore, in the records of the Phoenicians with their treasured antiquity; and the resurrected memories of the great of ancient Egypt seemed to flash before the eyes of the students of ancient lore. MARCUS GARVEY, THE HERO One figure was conspicuous among the crowd and the lines of contemplation, seriousness and foreseight seemed to stand out in bold relief on his countenance. That figure was Marcus Garvey, the child of destiny and the only criticism that his opponents can offer to his triumphant success for his race, is the criticism that finds its embodiment in those memorable words of the celebrated Cicero. via: "UT IN DIFFICULTITATIBUS EJUS MODI QUANTUM ERAT PROVEDERI PROVIDEBATUR." And here this proves at once a knock-out blow for such opponents. Their talk goes in thin air. Thousands followed the line of march from the Kingston Race Course where the background of the procession formed up, down to Liberty Hall, where there had assembled the chief officers and auxiliaries of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. From Liberty Hall, the great mass of surging humanity, headed by Madame M. L. T. DeMena, started along the prescribed line of march, which was kept clear throughout by marshals on horse back, the police, and several boy scouts. ORDERLY CROWD The great event was marked by the orderliness of the crowd, the necessity of which was urgently emphasised at several pre-convention meetings by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, whose name was on the lips of every man, woman and child who endeavoured to catch a glimpse of this master man, the greatest Negro the world has ever known—who formed the pivot on which turned the whole stupendous affair. Men, hale and strong, shouting and cheering, as the long line of care passed by; women, robust and perspiring under the heat of the tropical sun. THE SERMON After the impressive preliminaries, the sermon which was the title of the morning's proceedings, was preached by the Rev. C. H. Wilson of Mountainside, St. Hiberneth. The Rev. gentleman took his text from the Chapel of St. John, the 11th Chapter and the 28th verse:—"And when she had so, said, she went her way and called her Mary secretly saying: The Master has come and called for thee. There are three great thee in this text, he said, that I would like you to carry away with you. You have seen the colorful dances you have heard the beautiful music, but rest of all is what I have to give you from God this morning, and I hope that when the ministries of the organisation have died out of your minds, the message of God shall still ring in your hearts and inspire you to new thoughts. The three great thoughts are: the Master, His Preacher, His Lord. The Master was termed what the followers of Jesus loved to call Him. They called Him Master because he was their teacher, and a generous teacher Jesus was! Now tender, how careful! When we have truths he revealed to them; with what eloquence; while we have he taught them. Jesus Christ gathered a multitude of disciples when they learned to what He had to say to them. They pared Him with the Great Master, and they said: "This master is no other man than." i ee Fa ee ee ee: ia eres ie Ch ne “OC eey ros 6h li a F “et? ee " ee ey ‘feo — ea se poll : Peep aeent AY LIBERTY HALL oe it 4 Packed to Capecity with Eager, En- .Crowd to Hear News of the gth Annual Convention of the Negro ps of the World—Wave of Loyalty Sweeps Great Gathering as Speaker after Speaker Tells of Activity Throughout Negro Communities All Over the World —President-General’s Weekly Message Rouses to High Pitch of Encouragement —News of Opening Addresses at the Great Convention Stirs Vast Audience as They Have Never Been Stirred Before— Lt.

As things are constituted today, it is the force that moves the world. In entering the reams of business, in any Hine of humag eadesver we must be prepared finan- cially to meet the bills thet will present themselves for payment. We must have the wherewithal to pay them; and only failure, blank failure will greet us, if mow, that we have the opportunity, we do not lay down & sound economic foundatiod, upon which to build all our future undertakings. Thousands of Negro boys and girls, graduating from schools all over this and other lands, demand jobs for which they are fitted. Are we going to provide those jobs for them; or are we going to stand idly by, and see them follow in the footsteps of their elders, steered into Kitchens and scrub rooms, and porters jobs? <Will the present genera- tion of Negro men and women get behind their delegates, now sitting in the sessions of the Sixth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, and demand that they thresh out this matter thoroughly and come to a satisfactory conclusion? Must our children be continually educated for the kitchens of the people of other races, Are we never going to realize that we must be men, real men; and provide for ourselves, and for our children, for that is the duty of men? Is the Negro of the present day willing to admit his inferiority to any one? Is he alive to the needs of the hour, and the necessity for action? Is he mindful of the fact that the race has come to the place where it can no longer depend on the whims and caprices of the people of other races? Do we realize that we cannet be men, and not do as other snen are doing. in providing for themselves and for those dependent upon them? We realize that we are standing today at the cross-roads of destiny; that the people of ertitiga are looking forward to what the Negro will do in these the opening days of the Twentieth Century. We have been talking for years and years. We have cried to all the gods there are. ‘And now the time has come when we, by our own efforts must raise ourselves from slaves and usderlings, and take our place among the others of the sons of men. To provide jobs enough for ourselves, and for the vast hordes of Negro children coming after us, we must place this race on a sound financial structuse, We must have sufficient funds to carry out all our plans, and to put into execution all the desires of our heart, for the all-round good cf the race. Let us remember that this cannot be done without our beginning somewhere to lay the foundation, strong, stable, and secure, upon which we can build, s0 thet there can always be at our command, enough of the force that moves the world. Let us face the issue squarely. Money we must have. We need Negro factories for the employment of Negroes. Doors that were once open to us are now being closed in our faces. This is no time for wailing, or for dallying either. The seeming handicaps can be trans- muted into blessing, if, instead of frittering away our small resources, we would pool our interests, and build business enterprises, efficiently and honestly managed, and after the required training, venturing out into the various fields of human endeavor, so that the race can pro- vide its own employmert, and its own capital. The apprenticeship we have served in the western hemisphere, some of us, and in the homeland, under people who have figured in every kind of business undertaking on earth, should give us not only inspira- ‘ion, but ability to enter these same lines, meet and master tie prob- lems that are connected with them, and carry them on to great success. Who will blaze the trail? There are great rewards for those, who, clean, hénest, earnest, efficient and painstaking will light the way to fnancial freedom for this race of ours; and those who will rise Ford- ike, and not only challenge the imagination, the honesty, the courage, | the daring and the power of achievement of his race will find rich re- wards, not alone in the gréat returns that will come to them financially, but will win lasting honor and esteem thet time shall not erase. Rise, fellow-Negroes, this is time for action; and the Sixth Interna- |! ional Convention of the Negro’ Peoples of the World, offers their | reatest opportunity for such a decision than has ever been faced by |; his race before.

XXVL NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1929 Ne. 2 “NEVER SEEN BEFORE” At eyes are turned in the direction of Kingston, Jemaic. British West Indies, looking with great expectancy for the news despatches @at will come from that historic iste. Friends of the orgarization, as well as those who feel that they eve opposed to it are attracted to the direction from whence comes the sounds of the deliberations of the Sixth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World. News articles coming up tell of the grandeur and attractiveness of tes greet opening ceremonies, and of the way Jamaica has been stirred, ‘as it has wever been stirred before. They tell of the animation of the elles everywhere in that island; of the way the people have been im- peeszad, and of the great wave of enthusiasm that has taken hold of the Papulace, such, it is said, “as has never been seen before.” Net only the member of the Universal Negro Improvement Asso- dation, whe follow the leadership of Marcus Garvey, bui the entire race of Negroes stands at the cross-roads of decision today. We have eum tp that point in our existence when we must demonstrate to the (aun ef all creation, thet we are men, fit and worthy of the respect and @lmisation of the men of all the world; or we must go down ignobly yielding to the taunts and insults, and false accusations of those who mafign the Negro. “Wever Seen Before.” Several times in the years to come, the mam of the ether races of the world will have reason to give expression (@ Ghat exclamation. They will then have seen the Negro at his best. "City will have hed an opportunity to see what the Negro can do, what Setights he can sttnin to, fighting for his own development, and for ad- wemsement of his race and his own civilization. They will have had the Sey, ths wonder of seeing the Negro as they have never seen him before, aad then will be forced to judge him by his acts, and not view him in the Hight of prejudice, and malice, and hatred. And in the glar- img light of that new day the glory, the grandeur, and the courage of Negro achievements will give the world anciner cause for wonder and edeiretion, Grif utteMagain ihe sayings heard now around conven- tion time, “Never Seen Before.” Net aefict with being merely a hewer of weed and a drawer ef water the Negr bas sent his representative to the little island of Jamaica to deliberate and decide the best and surest course this race must travel in its longing and its desires ard its quest for freedom and all- around advancement and complete emancipation. He has decided that come what may, he cannot, will not any ionger endure the limitations that have been set all around him, that the time has come when he, must set out to carve outa destiny of his own, and to live his life in the way Nature, and Nature's God intended for him to live it, He has also decided that no matter whether other mien approve or no, the Negro wil! leave no stone unturned, in this Twenticth Century, to bring inte realization the dreams and aspirations that animate him, | and which have enabled him to hate hore all the trials and difficulties | that have crossed his path during the last three hundred years or were. He has resolved that, while God and heaven stands there is going to be no barrier that he will not surmount, no obstacle that he wHW nee heosh aside, and no mountain that he will not scale in his dimb ta gréatness, for the expression and the expansion of the powers ef body, mind, and soul. He will have achieved as men have never achieved before, and the world will have reason to express itself again, in terms of “Never seen before.” Nothing short of full and free emancipation will satisfy the awak- ened upstanding, forward-looking Negro of the Twentieth Century: and nothing short of the frecdon? of the land of his fathers and the recognition of the rights and aspirations of the Negro will quench the ppirit of striving and seeking, that will nei.e him, animate him, and fre his su! to the end of time. “Never Seen Before.” Such is the exclamation that will live on the lips of a wondering world, when the Negro, purged from every pandicap that now holds him back, and trusting devoutly in his sub- ime faith in himself and in the God of his fathers, shall have cleared he path 10 freedom and to greatness; and as a monument to Negro tering, Negro power, Negro skill, Negro ambition, Negro earnestness, wad Negro invincibility, shall have erected a government, strong, master- ial, rigiweows and secure, that wiii guarantee and saieguard the rights the Negro wherever he happens to dwell, a bright and shining ex- Se for dil the world, anda safeguard of the rights of all mankind. ‘Then will we echo fornh again the crv, “AFRICA AND THE WBGRO WILL STAY FOREVER FREE.” 1 “ASPLiATIONS OF THE NEGRO SPIRIT The Negro spirit seexs goe® **" Gained by tbat Divinity which ehercs the destiny of ail creation.

For them it symbolized the rickesss, grBadeut and: jower of toelt fatheriand. It epitomized the sou- venirs of the glorious conquests of Dahomey.” Dehomey was wealthy and drew the elements of its succces from its trade, its powerful army and the courage of its soldiers, which were deemed invincible. The King, a3 central power, was seconded by a marvellous secret police. In the army were 25,000 warriors, who were the pick of Behanzin's subjects. These men were thorough- ly trained by a yytem of gymnastics develcped by the Dahomeyans them- selves. They were divided into bri- gades and companies and the discl- pline was perfection itsclf. At the nead of the army was Algi-Agbo. the King’s brother. Each warrior had a servant to carry his weapons and his | food on the march. | But the most redoubtable part of ‘Behanzin's army were the female warriors, 6,000 in number. These ‘were recraited from the lustiest vir- gins in the kingdom apd wero sworn to chastity, They ranked above the men. m The king sometimes took his wives from among them or gave them to the bravest, warriors. It ts also said that when a man had a wife too un- ruly for him he gave her to the king for his army. Female Warriors The training of there amazons was of the severest kind) They had to charge with bare feet into a con- struction of thorns. Boghero de- scribes the scene as follows: “Upon the ground reserved for the exercises had been reared a mound, not of earth, but of very sharp thorns, about 50 yards long, 8 yards wide, and 7 feet high. At about 50 yards further was another construc- them Mise @ house also thickty covered with thorns, the whole resembling a cttadel. “AM the women are at their phets tm am aititude of combet, arms up- raised, swords in hand maserd in Itme Of battle befere the front of at- tack.

Some would go down, but at the end of a few mo- ments the bull was killed with as much ease as a sheep in a European butchery. | “One should not be astontahed af- ter this," says another writer, “to hear that these women fight with extreme bravery, exciting by their courage and their indomitable energy the other trocps that follow them.” Like the men, they fought nude to the walst. The Dahomeyan wartior kad been trained from infancy to scorn death. ‘The following is an account of the death of a Dahomeyan spy as told by an eye witness: Fond of Death “Executioner: ‘You know, brother, I am going to cut,’ (Significant ges- ture at the neck.) “Spy: ‘Good, “The condemned man knelt and hung his head as if he were only going to have his hair cut.

Negro Composers To Be Given A Chance Tt has been announced that the important work of synchronisation will not be entrusted to Nordic com- posers of music. “That would be a mistake, for It fs the opinion that Nordics canmot write Negroid music. That is on art which is confined in total to the col- ored composer. To date the Negro writers have not been given a fing at composing for motice pictures. We are sure that when “The Siren of the Tropics” is set to music that it will be far more satisfactory than if It were synchronised with tunes from the pens of Nordics." Jee Jordan, noted colored composer of New York City who has won great recaguition both tm America and Europe for hie talents, hes signed a contract with the Gold Pictures Cor- poration t supply a totally original mune score for “The Biren of the Tropica.” Particular stress will be placed upon the theme scag which Jorden has compesed.

Jt should be Imown to all White South Africa that the aboriginal African has advanced to such an extent thst he cannot be expected to accept thir soct-tf cem- ouflage or political torafoolery. As a matter of fact the spirit from which General Hertzog and hia followers ap- prozch this question as ahown ky their public utterances right from the fa- mous Smithfield declaration of 1925 to the recent Election Campaign, makes it absolutely tmpoasible for the African to accept-this base offer. But, happily, my reading of the Verdict of the Electorete is different from that of the Government Party. While Caesar has declared that it is bis desire that General Hertzog shall continue to rule the country perhaps for the space of another five years, yet he has shown hesitation to fur- nish him with 2 mandate to praceed with the Native Bius. The Elector- ate plainly callz upon the Govern- ment to summon 2 Naticnal Conven- tion to deal with what has proved to be the Question of Questions in the Sub-Continent. It should, however, be clearly understcod that the Non- Evropean will not tolerate a repeti- tion of the procedure adopted in 1908 when a so-called National Ccn- vention was called, in which they had no representation, a3 4 consequence of which they were ruthlessly exclud- ed from the political organism of the land. Their Appeal to London was dismissed with very heavy costs. No, Bir, a National Convention which can deal with this vitel question to the patisfaction of afl concerned must be (rectly representative of White, Biack sod Colored. The gathering may even take the form of a Ryuad Tabie Conference. ‘To the Btackman the Message of the Campaign appears to be: “Afri- come, awake, put om your strwgth; sink yorr petty feelmwias sterard all your previnelaiiems and tritaliom: for the grim otruggie fer your peliti- cad auiehemeh Onn Geet aamemenena” ge f * "Saas ee oa an oe ao vo iQ aig ok go roe ra SOiapene ages.

Purpardo de Una Pérdida Irreparable. Su Espíritu Una Importante Influencia En El Desarrollo de Muestro Pueblo. Adquirió Como Diplomático Un Suite Completo En Su Peregrinación Por America, Europa Y Africa. Venticinco mil personas aproxima-madamente formando una procesión de cinco millas de largo, recorrir las principales calles de la ciudad atendida por varias bandas de música, llevando los colores rojo, negro y verde, insignia de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, encabezada por su anado presidenta general el honorable Marcus Garvey. La celebración de la sexta convención de nuestro elemento, bajo los suspicios de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Negra, nos recuerda con honda pena la pérdida de uno de los defensores mas ardientes de nuestra causa, el honorable Robelt L. Poston secretario general de la organización y fallecido en la primavera de 1924. En ninguna otra ocasion la ciudad de Kingston habia sido testigo de una manifestación tan importante. El presidente general de nuestra organización,uciendo su uniforme de gala y acompañado de un grupo de sus oficiales y los de otras instituciones alli representadas, en muy buen espiritu reconociaca el cumplido de que fue objeto de parte de la multitud que se aglomeraba a lo largo de la linea de marcha. Dicho paladin nació en Hopkinsville, estado de Kentucky, en el año de 1890. A la edad de trenticuatro años llevó a la realización un gran número de sus aspiraciones, dejando a su retaguardia un nombre que vivirá impercedero en nuestra memoria. Omitiendo su brillante carrera desde su infancia hasta la época en que ingreso en las filas de esta organización, donde en poco tiempo escaló las gradas del consejo ejecutivo, con honor hemos de manifestar que consagró todas sus energias a la defensa de los intereses de su pueblo. Logias, socieades religiosas, instituciones beneficas en gran número estaban representadas en la magna procesion. El brillante sol de agosto anáida esplendor a los vivos colores del uniforme que lucian los centenares de manifestantes. La brillante parada bajo un claro cielo tropical, presentaba a los expectadores una escena que sera recordada por largo tiempo. Ademas de su puesto como oficial de la organización, siempre alerta como buen piloto, fue nombrado presidente de la delegación que visitó a Europa y Africa en diciembre 1923, conferenciando allí con varios gobierno sobre la condución de los planes de repatriación y colonización por medio de los cuales nuestro elemento en el hemisferio occidental se viera posibilidad para ir a la madre patria y establece, en unión de la otra parte del elemento allí domicilio, como un pueblo libre e independiente. El entusiasmo ha quedado manifestado con la afliación de millares de adeptos al garveysmo; y sera una cuestion de tiempo cuando no solamente la problaction de nuestro elemento en Jamaica sino en el archipielago del Caribe, haya de adherirse a ese movimiento de progreso. La nota del dia es la convención en progreso. El corazon de nuestro pueblo palpita con ansiedad, por todo aquello que haya de realizarse en dicho gran conclave durante el presente agosto, el cual aparece como el mes mas importante en la historia de los pueblos negros del universo. Por medio de su advocacion a la causa que tan ardiente ante defendiera, el ilustre fenecido condujo al pie de la ra el programa de la mision que le fuera encomendada, presentando como embajador no solamente a su organiza sino también a su raza en general, con mayor interes tal vez que cualquier otro representante de cualquier otra raza o nacion. La nota mas triste en tal fatal desenlace estriba en quia noche antes de su desembarco, para dar personalmente al pueblo que le enviara cuenta de sus actividades y experiencia en el otro lado del Atlantico, falleció, recayendo naturalmente en sus compañeros de viaje el manifestar sus realizaciones, lo cual a él correspondia y por lo que trabajó con gran ahinco. La Excursión De Los Galenos Cubanos Después de visitar la ciudad y sus alrededores, habiendo recibido manifestaciones de simpatia de todos los circulos, sociales y científicos, los médicos cubanos que han venido a los Estados Unidos, enisión de estudio y de acercamiento intelectual, partieron para Albany, la capital del Estado, donde visitarán al gobierno Roosevelt, a nombre del pucho cubano. La comisión va encabezada por el doctor Fernando Ronsoli, secretario de Sanidad de Cuba, y por una lista de especialistas prominentes, que representan distintos centros médicos de la Habana, unos de carácter oficial, otros de carácter universitario. Nuestro elemento universalmente ha estado de luto por la perdida tan irreparable. Nuestra organización ha perdido un hombre difícil de reemplazar; y en todas sus actividades en conneción con nuestra causa, no hubo un solo instante en que se dudara de su entereza de caracter. Fue honrado y leal; sus mas grandes ideales fueron la salvación de la raza y la redención de la patria. Con ese propósito vivía, con tal propósito laboraba y sirviendo el mismo propósito falleció. Si hubieramos podido llevar al lienzo los pensamientos de tan ilustre luchador al exhalar su último suspiro, habriamos visto en ellos un panorama de esperanzas y de buen deseo para su raza. En el mundo físico aquel noble ser va no existe, pero en el mundo espiritual vivirá por los siglos de los siglos. Sus servicio prestados a su raza servirán de inspiración a centenares de nuestro elemento para continuar hacia adelante en la defensa de los intereses de nuestro pueblo. Su estadia en Nueva York ha sido motivo de diversos festejos en su honor, distinguiéndose entre ellos el esplendido banquete en la terraza Congo, del hotel Alamac donde se hospedaron. La terraza se hallaba decorada a la española, luiendo en su centro las banderas de Cuba y Estados Unidos. A la llegada del señor secretario Ronsoli, la orquesta lo recibió con las notas del himno nacional cubano, que fue seguido por el de los Estados Unidos. Un ambiente de gran cordialidad reino durante todo el banquete, que fue amenizado por aires cubanos, dirigidos por el habil compositor habanero, do Enrique Bryuñ. Mientras que con gran pesar hemos de lamentar siempre esa gran pérdida, y estando empeñados actualmente, con el objeto de solucionar los multiples problemas que nos afectan, el recuerdo de las actividades del ilustre fenecido nos alientan en gran manera para continuar la lucha. El delineó grandes planes, hizo su trabajo preliminar a satisfacción y sobre sus cimientos sólidos hemos de construir. La comisión, entre la cual figuran el alcalde de Camagüey, doctor Domingo de Para, el doctor Carlos M. Pernia, director del hospital de Lepresos de Cuba, doctor Miguel Branly, médico prominente y secretario de la Federación Médica Cubana, quien concibió la idea de la jira, y otros muchos galenos distinguidos, piensa permanecer un par de días en la capital americana, donde serán huéspedes de honor del doctor León S. Rowe, director de la Union Panamericana. En la capital visitarán al presidente Hoover, presentando un mensaje de simpatia de la ruplibílica cubana. Dispues continúar el viaje, yendo a visitar las cataratas del Niágara de donde esperan estar de regreso el domingo perjuimo. Because CONQUEST OF COOMASSIE is a book the white man trembles to see in the hands of the black man—because the information contained in CONQUEST OF COOMASSIE allows the Negro superior in achievement to any race on the globe—because CONQUEST OF COOMASSIE will inspire you as no other Negro literature can; you must own a copy of CONQUEST OF COOMASSIE. The book has been selling for two dollars, but a fortunate deal with a large printing house now enables us to realize our dream of placing a copy in every Negro home at the easy popular cost of ONE DOLLAR.

Dejemos esos libros grandes, indigestos, que nos hablan de cosas pasadas: del triunfo que alcanzamos, de la persecución que sufrimos. Nadie de ellos se acordara.

Name, Will Start Four Year Program In September Montgomery, Alabama, July 28. "The Alabama State Teachers College at Montgomery" is the new name of the southeastern State Normal School located here at Montgomery which will offer the third year of its new four-year college curriculum during the coming 1989-89 school year. As a result of an extensive teacher-training survey made in Alabama last year, the State Board of Education at its annual June meeting authorized the Claim A. Normal Schools to become four-year teachers colleges as rapidly as they could achieve the standards set down by the American Association of Teachers College. The institution here at Montgomery with its college enrollment of 200 for the past year and with its well-qualified faculty under the leadership of President H. Council Trenholm will embark on this four-year program in September. The curricula being announced in the attractive new catalogue just now ready for distribution include four Delegation Leaves For Soviet Russia NEW YORK. Aug. 1—At the same time that the Chinese Militarists and White Guard Russians were beginning war in Manchuria, the first workers' children's Delegation sailed to the U.S.S.R. to demonstrate the solidarity of the American workers and their children with the Russian workers and peasants, and to pledge their readiness to defend the fatherland of the workers of the world against the war now being instigated by the imperialist powers. The delegation consisting of seven workers' children from the basic industries of the United States left July 24th, at 5 P.M., on the Mauritania. One of the delegates is the child of a textile striker from Gastonia, North Carolina. His father is one of the 23, 15 of whom are charged with murder, who are facing trial in Gastonia in a week's time. Another delegate is a Negro Boy Scout from Philadelphia, representing a large number of Scouts who have broken away from that organization because of the racial discrimination it practised. Other delegates are a child of an auto worker from Detroit, the child of a miner from Pennsylvania, the child of a needle trades worker from New York City, a delegate representing the Non-Partisan Jewish Workers' Children's Schools and a Canadian delegate. The Delegation to the Soviet Union was organized under the auspices of the Young Pioneers of America, a workers' children's' organization. The Delegation has been confirmed by a large number of workers' organizations throughout the United States, including the Trade Union Educational League, the National Textile Workers Union, the National Miners Union, the Industrial Needle Trades Union, etc. The Children were chosen at conferences of workers' children in the different sections of the country. The Delegation will make an extensive tour of the U.S.S.R., and big meetings are being planned in Moscow, Leningrad and other cities to welcome them to the Soviet Union. They will visit the camps of the Russian workers' children and the camps of the Russian Pioneers. They will also attend the first all Russian Pioneer Meet, to which will come hundreds of children delegates from countries throughout the world. Young Pioneers of the U.S.A. JESSICA TAFT, Secretary.

These curricula have all been revised so as to minister most effectively to the needs of prospective Alabama teachers as well as to be in line with the curricula experience of the most representative teacher-training institutions.

At least fifteen recent Junior College graduates have already indicated that they will return in September to begin their senior college classes. Onward and Upward We have read with pleasure a manifesto moved by the Rev. E. R. Mahabane, ex-President General of the African National Congress, in the adjourned session of the above organization which assembled in Community Hall, Bloomfontain on the 28th ult. We have no doubt that the manifesto voices the feelings of every black man in Africa—educated and uneducated, civilized and uncivilized, tribal and detribalized. When we say it voices the feeling of every black man, we are fully aware that we are saying a great deal. Every black man loves liberty and freedom quite as much as the other fellow. To prove this, the reader has only to read the appeal of Dr. Smee published elsewhere in these columns (see our comment on this appeal in the following issues). In other words the manifesto calls upon our oppressors to gracefully stand aside and allow the sons and daughters of Africa to pass, for it is as impossible to stop them on their glorious onward march to liberty and greatness, as it is for a man to stand mid stream, and with bare hand, stop the fishes from passing whither they will. The black man is destined to take his rightful place in the world, and to rule as did his ancestors, the famous Cunabites of ancient Ethiopia and Egypt, for did not his forefathers building great Empires in Ethiopia, Egypt, on the banks of the Nile, Ethiopia and Arabia, and introduce Buddhism, Science and Arts to the world, and lay the foundation of the present civilization? Yes! Africa civilized the world when it was inhabited by heathens, savages and barbarians. The Africa of today has a great message to the world, which cannot be suppressed by men on earth. Every black man is a necessary unit in the great scheme which emanate from the Creator. Let us therefore all fall in line, quick march and hasten the day of the liberation of the African and the realization of the prophecy of old when Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands to God and Princes shall come out of Egypt.
