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."

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."

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."

In. of New York, in the new Liberty Hall, situated at 2667-77 Eighth avenue, tonight, to hear news of the damage of the South International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, as well as to listen to the speakers who had been selected to address the gathering, for the purpose of bringing a closer unity, and a more secure determination among those allied to the cause of Africa and the awakened Negro. Everything went through without a hitch. All the units of the uniform ranks under Col. J. W. Bellamy of the U. A. Legions were represented in the gathering, and they played their respective parts in lending animation and interest to the evening's proceedings. The hand under Prof. Urilek Hennell as usual rose to the occasion, and lent an added air of animation and charm to an otherwise apathetic programme. The Legions, the Black Cross Nurse the Motor Corps, the Juveniles were also in their places, and rouse the audience to a high degree of enthusiasm as they perform their respective duties in the evening's programme. The Choir, led by Mrs. M. Dume, rendered beautiful anthems, and led the audience in the singing of the President's Hymn, the Convention Hymn and the National Anthem. Seated on the platform were Mr. Waltie, Rev. Collins, Mr. Forrest, Mrs. McWille, Mrs. James, of the Garvey Club, Inc., Mr. Grandison, from the Jersey City Division of the U.N.I.A., who was one of the speakers for the occasion; Mrs. E. Capers, president, Mrs. L. McCartney, vice-president, who is recovering from the injuries suffered from her recent accident; Col. J. W. Bellamy, of the U. A. Legion, a group of the Black Cross Nurses, and Rev. R. T. Brown Cross Nurse Negro World, chairman of the meeting. After the usual solemn and impressive processional, and the service from the ritual, the audience was entertained by a short and an interesting concert programme, which was greatly appreciated by everyone. A piano solo by Mr. Wilson, a vocal solo by Miss Douglas, were worthy of mention, as well as the stirring ap- Hair responsible for dull, lifeless, un- me that way. Mine, C. J.

WALKER'S POWER Write For Tunes proud stalk of the city's history in the ancient age when the ground and learning all together gave to pall all the hands world into one great confidence that shall continue to grow great and strong and useful, and that will not falter from the fight for the complete all-around emancipation of the Negro, and the ultimate redemption of Africa. The speakers included Mr. Griggs, of the Janey City Division, Dr. Thomasm of the U. A. Legion, Dr. John Fountain, also of the legion, and Major Grunt. These all serve to bring to the minds of their hearts the necessity of standing together, as they have never stood before, since it is recognized that there are trying times ahead; and it was necessary to develop stern souls, and stout hearts to be able to meet the tests that are sure to come. The audience gave every evidence of appreciation to all that was said, and responded nobly to the appeals that were made to them, for the support of the programme of the organization. Major Grant, who was the speaker for the evening, did himself proud by the masterly style of his expression, and the way in which he caught the ears and hearts of his listeners, as he weaved before them the pictures of the great and akawened race, triumphing over every difficulty, and breaking every barrier down, standing true and loyal to the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as enunciated by the Hon. Marc Garvey; finally emerging in the clear light of a new day on the plains, in the valleys, and on the hill-tops of the fatherland, free, unfettered, and untrammeled, rejoicing in a new found power, the great African government that is bound to come, a credit to humanity, and a glory to God. Great waves of enthusiasm swept the vast audience as the speaker drew his word pictures that touched the hearts and stirred the imagination of all who heard him. When at last the speaker closed his address the great crowd broke in a torrent of approval. The announcements, the contributions, and the singing of the National Anthem brought to a close one of the most stirring gatherings that has ever been held in the history of a great organization. Invitations have been sent out to the various near-by divisions and chapters to take part in a monster parade that is expected to take pledge on Sunday, August 18th, in celebration of the forty-second anniversary of the birth of the illustrious founder of the U.N. I.A., the Hon. Marc Garvey, and also to mark the rejoicing for the sitting of the Sixth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World. DAZZLING DISPLAY One of the great things this organization had done for the Negro is getting him to believe in himself, and not to depend upon the white man. There were great opportunities before them. The shrouds were being lossed off them; the futuro was before them, and it was up to them to make the best of it. (Cheers.)" At the end of the sermon, the Hon Marcus Garvey, in a short and stirring speech, said: We are celebrating to-day, in conjunction with the Convention, the ninety-first anniversary of the emancipation of the Negroes of the British West Indies. To-day is really a sacred and holy day; it is a day of blessed memory. On this day, ninety-one years ago, a woman of authority, a woman of power, by the agitation and influence of other men of humane hearts and minds and souls, signed a proclamation that set free your forefathers and mine from the bonds and shackles of physical slavery. This is the anniversary of it. But this day shall also mark the signing of another Emancipation proclamation. It shall mark the emancipation, the freeing, of the minds of four hundred million Negroes throughout the world (thunderous applause). Free from mental subjugation; free from mental oppression; free therefore to stand as one united people with the object of emancipating this generation and redemining the country from whence it came three hundred years ago. To-day we are not celebrating here alone in this area, limited though it be, but Negroes are celebrating the day throughout the entire civilized world. Continuing, the renowned speaker, said the greatest offence they could commit against him that day was to behave in a disorderly manner. If they behaved themselves properly, he BILL W -IAU of service. They are still willing to sell themselves their honor, their loyalty to race, their self-reliance, but for a few reasons, are not from what quarter it comes. And so the good thing is on the book for Negro liberation, against the stifling planned and designed campaign engineered and fostered by our old slave masters, and by the cheap good-nothing Negroes, to over hear us on the grimness of condescension, grief, political and independent national and international needs. When it is considered that they have been able to inform and pay and keep even some of the men whom we have been working to clotting them to positions as leaders of the people, you will know how far living in the campaign. Let us take great leaders like David Lloyd George of England, Charles Bruns Negroes of America and Monroe Island of Purdue. Do you think such men lead for a living? Do you think such men look upon the leadership that they give to their race for leadership, that they can get? No, never. They look upon it as a service for their race, a service to humanity a service of love. This is the kind of leadership that Negroes want today. Not "How much is in it for me?" not "How much salary will I get?" but "How much good can I do even by sacrificing, even by dying." for the cause? I hope you Negroes of the world will step for a minute and think. See that your future is imperiled and see that a dangerous attempt is being made to destroy you, to disrupt your spirit of love, of loyalty to self. Be guided, be guided, be guided. First of all, before you attempt to follow any man who comes out with any new program, especially the talk about the freedom of Africa, scrutinize him, analyze him, trace him even to his birth, and find out if he is a real Negro and what has been his associations, what has been his position before he took up the cause of working for Africa. You, you will find many who are coming out today with his African scheme, but who can tell me is behind him? I would like to say mu more, and explain much more than can really appear in public print, but I am warning you Negroes of the world, if you allow yourself to travel in the wrong direction, remem- world, if you allow yourselves to t bar that Maras Carvey from the profoundest depths of his heart warned you. I repeat that these destructive agencies are at work to defeat you in that purpose for freedom, for liberty; destructive agencies are at work to reduce you to slavery; destructive agencies are at work to deprive you of your livelihood; destructive agencies are at work to keep you under servitude in the land you live in when somebody else will occupy the place you now occupy, until the time comes when someone else will live in the house that you now live in; that someone else will occupy the country that you now call your own. Negroes, be warned, be warned; if you take my advice, you do one thing that is reasonable, do one thing that is possible; that is, get together, get together in America, in the West Indies, in Africa, in South and Central America, and organise yourselves into one mighty band; then we will have before us the greatest Negro organisation ever organised in the world, organised by Negroes, led by Negroes, supported by Negroes. I can recommend you, therefore, to no greater movement for your support than that of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is your movement; you organised it; you supported it in the past; you must support it in the future so that it can bring about that freedom, that liberty that we pray for. Trusting that you will abide by the advice that we have given you, and trusting our great will guide us that we may overcome all the enemies now lined up against us, I have the honor to be. Youy-obedient servant. (Signed) MARCUS GARVET. President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, "Edelweis Park," 67 Slipe road, St. Andrew, Jamaica. B. W. L. The greatest event in Jamaica's History since Emancipation took place in the opening of the Sixth Annual Convention of the Negro peoples of the world, at Edelweis Park yesterday. It was a mammoth affair. In some respects it was even greater than Emancipation, inasmuch as the latter was something done for the people while the Convention is an event achieved by the people for themselves, recording the wonderful progress wrought during a period of ninety-one years of freedom. The gathering of the Convention in Jamaica is a celebration, not only of the Emancipation of Jamaica slaves, but of all slaves throughout the British West Indies, with the celebration of a like Emancipation of all slaves in the United States of America thrown in, and uniting with this triple purpose the assembling of delegates from every quarter of the globe, possessed of one single aim, to organize the means of Negro progress and lift the race up to the platform of equal competition with the rest of mankind. We prophesied a mighty crowd. Our anticipations were easily exceeded. Our seating capacity failed to accommodate the vast and enthusiastic audience, while the entire grounds at Edewels Park was literally packed. From every quarter of the Island the people came to witness the grand and impressive opening ceremonies and everybody in Kingston, worthy of being considered patriotic, either joined in or watched the procession as it moved in majesty and splendor through the streets of the city. Jamaica is awake: Negroes the world over are awake. Never can they be any more a dismised people. Never can they again travel in the rut. Like men the whole race goes forward to their glorious destiny. The Convention in its very beginning has disguised the enemy, justified the confidence placed in the Negro and forms a grand setting out of which shall rise the glories of the race, equalling the magnificence and heroism of their wondrous past. would challenge any man to say that they could be interfered with.

The Negro World is currently looking for great prospects in the conclusion of our world national international Convention, which promises to give success in our work. Nothing has ever gained by such plighted loyalty as this universal Negro Improvement Association, which is a right method, adapted by a black man. Our division is busy making ready to meet the convention of this year. The success it promises seem to have convinced even the inactive member, for: in every nook and corner where I go, or visit, there is some one to ask about the great convention. Every Negro would like to be there through anxiety for a general re- form readily. The spirit of the U. N. I. A. works wonders in every corner. The new Negro has truly caught a thriving motive from that of the Mon. Marcos Carvey. The discussion of the Negro problem will be one of the greatest in the history of Jamaica, for in the Island of Jamaica was born a son of Africa who shall liberate the race from slavery both politically, economically and ecclesiastically. God has promised that His people must be freed. He has provided a portion for every one; and it is right that Africa's sons and daughters wake up, and hold their own. 'Awake! Awake! Africa Awake!' Shake up thy self, thou land of tears and sigh. Shake thy self from out the dust, And let the captive free from tears and hurt." Yes, I am convinced that the morn- SIGNIFICANCE OF AUGUST 1 Marks Emancipation of Negroes in British Domains Thirty Years Before Lincoln Freed Slaves in America The ignorance of most Negro public school pupils regarding the history of their race was never more convincingly demonstrated to us than when we perceived the blank look on their faces, when they were asked, "What is the importance of August 1?" Indeed, one college student asked had forgotten its significance. We wonder how appallingly large would be the list of those college students—and graduates—who don't know. Yet it is a day of the stoutest importance historically and is fraught with deep significance wherever Negroes are. It marks the emancipation of Negroes in the British dominions, thirty years before Lincoln freed the slaves in our country. Frederick Douglass regularly celebrated the event, along with British and West Indian Negroes. Was it not a day when Britons proved that "Britons never can be slaves"—and that Britons can't hold slaves either. Of course, Douglass was nearer to slavery than we; moreover, he possessed one of the keenest minds the world has yet yielded, and had acquired a rare scholarship. It was, the youngsters may allege, his business to know history and to know it well. He could see the importance of dates which stand as landmarks in the record of man's progress and regress. He knew slavery as a sin in the sight of God, not to be extinguished as an economic necessity. Douglass knew it, through bitter experience, as the most damnable social evil. We might, with our so-called modern perspective, viewing the matter in retrospect, forget August 1. But to Frederick Douglass and to certain intelligent and scholarly Negroes of our day and generation it was and is as important as January 1, the date of the Emancipation Proclamation. A celebration to commemorate the event fittingly took place during the past week at Rocky Point, Rhode Island. Thus are our fathers remembered—Boston Chronicle. Crosswaith Nominated For Congress by Socialists NEW YORK.-At a recent city convention of New York Socialists, Frank R. Crosswath was chosen to make the race for Congress in the 21st Congressional District to fill the unexpired term of the late Royal M. Weller, a Democrat, who died several months ago. The 21st Congressional District takes in the greater portion of Negro Harlem and can easily elect a Negro to the National House of Representatives if the voters of the district would register and vote for a race candidate. James Edward Lee Wins Fame as Violinist James Edward Lee, a graduate of the Dumbar High School, has done considerable and appreciable work in the music field as a violinist. He has appeared before the Washington Public on many notable occasions, sometimes in group work but more often as a artist. Puthage Mr. Lee is more widely known through his work as a radio artist, having broadcast over station WMAL many times. The letters and oral communications received by the station were all expressive of the excitement of his work. Mr. Lee was first accompanied over the radio by Billy L. Europe, a teacher of music in the Dumbar High School, and also accompanied to many of the celebrities of the race who have appeared in Washington. Miss Europe could not accompany Mr. Lee as much as the management would love to have her do, but she sincerely approved of Mr. Lee's new accompanist: Miss Nacional Martin. Miss Martin is also a graduate of the Dunbar High School and the same class. Mr. Lee. She has studied und Prof. Charles King of this city and has made marked progress under his guidance. She is assistant organist at her church and has also entertained at many affairs of note. Her touch is very delicate but of sufficient strength to produce an admirable technique. Mr. Lee's last broadcasting was over WMAL on the 24th of July, at which time Miss Martin added to the program some piano selections. A TIP FOR TIRED SHOPPERS Shopping is a strenuous task as all women will agree. Men know it so well that they usually refuse to do the all-day shopping which is the frequent task of women. Next time you shop, slip a little candy in your handbag. Before weariness begins to assail you, eat a little. An hour or two after lunch, eat a little more. This is merely because sugar is an energy food. Marathon runners, channel swimmers, mountain climbers and athletes of all kinds know this—and make use of the knowledge to keep themselves pepped up during a strenuous sport period. Women can well take a leaf from their notebook and increase their power for effort by the same means. THE CONVENTION BIGGEST EVENT IN JAMAICA Procession Thru The City Was Biggest Witnessed For Decades Smooth, light skin has the most fascinating Appeal Estimated That Over 15,000 Persons Heard Garvey and Knox Speak KINGSTON, JA., Aug. 2 — The Sixth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, organized by Mr. Marcus Garvey, President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Society opened in Kingston yesterday morning with divine service at Edelweiss Park, followed by a mammoth procession through the streets of Kingston, the like of which has never been seen here before. It was truly a red letter day in the history of the U.N.I.A., and the ordinariness which characterised these functions was certainly commendable. The convention, as mentioned above, opened with divine service at Beldswil Park at 9.20 a.m., where in the spacious stadium erected were gathered fully twelve thousand persons including delegates from various parts of the world. The Hon. Altamment E. DoCoats, M.B.E., Custos and M.L.C. for Kingston, the Hon. G. Seymour Seymour, Mayor of Kingston and M.L.C., for St. Andrew and Mr. W. H. Landale, J.P., Acting Custos of St. Andrew, were present. From Early Morning From early morning the people began to gather by all possible means of conveyance and by 9 o'clock the stadium was almost filled. The spacious area was well decorated with flags and the various units of the organization formed in procession. These included the Black Cross Nurses, the Girl Guides, Boy Scouts and guards in uniform, as well as many prominent delegates wearing robes of many colours, all of which made up a most picturesque and colourful procession. Mr. Garvey's first appearance on the scene was to intimate to his audience the arrival of the three local Blinks: "Have you ever seen a prize-fight?" Jinks: "No, but I've looked in on a woman's afternoon bridge." Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Ointment is the quickest, safest and easiest way to clear, lighten and soften the darkest complexion—clearing away pimples, freckles and blackheads without the least harmful effect to the most tender skin. This famous Skin Whitener Ointment gives your skin a smooth, velvety texture you have never known before. Regular use of this Skin Whitener Ointment along with the other Dr. Fred Palmer Preparations will keep your complexion serenely beautiful digitaries, the Custos of Kingston, the Mayor of Kingston and the Acting Custos of St. Andrew who were heartily cheered as they took the seats reserved for them beside the President General's chair. Mr. Garvey then retired to don his scarlet robes and join in the procession which began with the opening hymn, "Shine on Eternal Light." The U.N.I.A. Band accompanied the singers and it was certainly grand to hear the voices of so many people blending so harmoniously together. Interesting Procedings Interpreting Proceedings The morning was a trifle hot but no one appeared bored by the length of the proceedings—it lasted from 9.20 until nearly noon—because of the splendid music and the oratory of the speakers. The anthem by the choir of the St. Andrew Division was perhaps the most outstanding feature of the musical portion of the service evoking hearty cheers from the audience. Then there came after the prayers in which the Chaplain led the first lesson by the Rev. Alderman McLaughlin and the second lesson which was read by Councillor the Rev. Gordon Hay. The sermon, which was delivered by the Rev. C. A. Wilson of Mountainade, was a masterful discourse and could not have failed to stir his hearers by the appeal he made to them to unite together for the upliftment of their race. Then Mr. Garvey, with his accustomed oratory, counseled the people to be orderly in the great procession that was to take place in the afternoon. After he had introduced the Mayor, the Custos of Kingston and the Acting Custos of St. Andrew, and the first named two had replied a most successful meeting terminated. Divine Service Among those present on the big platform were Mr. Marcus Garvey, President-General, and Mrs. Garvey, Mr. E. B. Knox, Miss H. V. Davis, fourth assistant President-General: Madame M. L.

Francis, Mr. Gerardo Leom and many others. The service commenced with the singing of the hymn "Shine On-Eternal Light," during which the long procession consisting of the different mollifiers of the Association, the prominent officers and the President-General marched from the southern side of the premises into the stadium. This concluded, the Rev. Norton Bellamy offered prayer. "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," was the next hymn heartily sung by the thousands present. Mr. H. B. Green, the chaplain, then offered prayer invoking God's blessing upon the President General, the officers and members of the organization. The first lesson taken from the 24th chapter of Johua and the first 21 verses were read by the Rev. Alderman McLaughlin. The second lesson, the 11th chapter of Hebrews was read by the Rev. J. Gordon Hay and then the hymn "God of the Right Our Battles Fight," was feelingly sung by the vast gathering. The choir of the St. Andrew division under Mr. Alfred Francis rendered a beautiful anthem. Elemental Resources The Rev. C. A. Wilson of Mountainside in St. Elizabeth, the special preacher for the occasion, entered the pulpit and delivered an inspiring and eloquent discourse. The Reverend gentleman said that it had fallen to his lot to deliver to them that morning the Message of God. He praised God that they realised that without Him nothing could be done. The message that he had to deliver was from St. John the 11th chapte and 30 verses: "And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, the Master is come, and calleth for thee." In the course of his very able thoughtful and impressive address, the reverend gentleman said that there were three great thoughts in the text that he would like them to carry away. They had seen a colourful procession that morning and skin --- had also heard glorious music by the best of all was what he had to give them from God. He helped that the Message of God would still Ring or in their hearts and inspire their lives. He wanted them to remember the Master, His Presence and His call. They called Jesus, Master, because He was his Teacher. What a remarkable Teacher the Lord Jesus Christ was, and what wonderful things He revealed to them. Jesus Christ gathered multitudes around Him and they listened attentively to Him. Jesus spoke as no man ever spoke and the multitude went away and the words of the Lord remained in their minds. They passed on the message from generation to generation. Jesus was not only a great teacher but a great worker. They would remember that when Christ went to the marriage feast and the wine ran out the people were ashamed. They would remember that Jesus made them draw water and they got wine. Jesus went along and men who were worn out with disease were made better, the blind restored their sight and the dumb talked. Nature was always obedient to its Lord when He came forward. They would remember that on one occasion the waves were toasting the disciples and when Jesus awoke and said "Peace he Still" there was a great calm. There were men in those days who were possessed of evil spirits and Jesus drove away the spirits and they acclaimed Him. The great foe of all was death. When Jesus went into the chamber of death and saw a little girl dead. He said that she was only sleeping. Jesus held her and she raised. When they looked at Jesus Christ in all His wonderfulness they are apt to ask whence He came. They were all children of God and they had to account to Jesus. Jesus Christ came from the Father and was able to take them back to God. When they thought of Jesus they realised what a great man He was. Christ was laid in the tomb and the tomb and other things were useless. They acclaimed Jesus the Lord for ever. Jesus was the Master and they bowed at His feet and what a wonderful Man He was. They would remember Napoleon when he said, "You speak of Caesar, Alexander of their conquests, of the enthusiasm they kindled in the hearts of their soldiers, but can you conceive of a dead man making conquests with an army, faithful and entirely devoted to his memory? My army has forgotten me while living. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne and myself have founded empires, but on what did we rest the creation of our genius? Upon force, Jesus alone founded His Empire upon Love and at this hour millions of men would die for him. I have so inspired multitudes that they would die for me, but after all my presence was necessary—the lightning of my life, my voice, a word from me — then the sacred fire was kindled in their hearts. Now that I am in Saint Helena alone, chained upon this rock who fights and wins Empires for me? What an abyss between my deep misery and the eternal reign of Christ, who is proclaimed, loved, adored, whose reign is extending over all the earth." Continuing, the preacher said Jesus was with them and he would be with them until the END OF THE WORLD. END OF THE WORLD. They saw how sickness came into the home and the breadwinner had passed away. When Jesus went Lazarius had already died for four days, and Lazarius' sister said: "Master if Thou had been here. . . ." Some of God's glorious blessings had come through delay. For forty years Moses wandered in the wilderness until God came and said, "Take this rod" and Moses went and delivered the people. The greatest blessing that they could have was praise to the Lord Jesus Christ. When Jesus was with them the unexpected happened and he would work out for them glory and salvation. Jesus was with them and God was with them. He strongly believed that in that movement God was with them and great was the conquest to be won. I AM YOUR FRIEND Soon the struggle would be over. In conclusion the Rev. gentleman said that he wanted to talk about the Master's call. God was dealing with them one by one. It was as they came to accept Him that he would be able to gather them into a fold which no man could realize. He loved the Lesson, that was read about Jesus. If they wanted to come to anything they should get married and have their children properly trained. Jesus Christ was calling them to service and he was able to do the impossible. It was a good thing to follow Jesus. They would remember that when Jesus called out, Lamarus, who was dead for 4 days, came forth. It was for them to follow their Master in the right way and loose this Lamarus. There were people who were at all times trying to throw dust in the eyes of Negroes and there were also people who were trying to rob them. This organization was trying to get the people to believe in themselves. They should rise and do something for themselves and God would help them. There was a great opportunity before them and God was with them. The future was before them and what were they going to make of it. They would remember Crosswell when he said: Ye that have faith to look with fearless eye. Beyond the tragedy of a world at strife High in the Heaven your heritage to take. I saw the power of darkness take their sight. Mr. Garvey Smoke Mr. Marcus Garvey said that they were celebrating in conjunction with the opening of the 6th annual International Convention the 51st anniversary of the Managment of the Mgrress of the British West Indies. That day was really A SACRED AND HOLY ONK. It was a day of blessed memory. On that day 91 years ago a woman of authority and power and by the influence of men of humane hearts, signed a proclamation that set free their fathers from the bondes of chattel and slavery. That day should mark the Emancipation of the four hundred million Negroes of the world. In that area limited though it be were millions of others who had laboured to make them what they were. They were the guardians of the Africa of the future. From Africa, the Continent, America, the British West Indies and Central America, there were representatives at the Convention who would join in the glorious march later in the day. There were there that day British subjects, American citizens, and citizens of other countries of the world. They would still labour and die if necessary for Africa. That day the Negro was to be tested as to how much he had advanced since Victoria signed the proclamation 91 years ago. So long as he was President General he was going to ask them to keep the peace. The procession that day would be the greatest thing Jamaica had ever seen and he wanted them to observe discipline and keep order. There were a lot of enemies of the organization but he would deal with them after the 1st of August. In conclusion, M. Garvey said that they had with them that morning His Worship the Mayor and their esteemed Custos of Kingston, the Hon. Altamont DeCosta. They also had with them Mr. W. H. Landale, Acting Custos of St. Andrew. The three distinguished gentlemen along with members of the Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation had responded to their invitation to join with them in the service. The Mayor, the Custos of Kingston and the Custos for St. Andrew would speak to them briefly after the collection was taken up. Anthem Banded The chair of the Kingston Division rendered an antithesis after wrist air. Garvey announced that he had received two cables from New York wishing the Convention every success. One of the cables read: "We the people on the sidewalks of Harlem in a monster meeting wish success for the Convention and to the colours of the Red, Black and Green" (transitive adjectives). to tell them and they should obey the laws of their country, so that they would be liked and respected. He had to thank Mr. Carvey very much on behalf of himself as Mayor of the Corporate Area, the Aldermen and members of the Corporation for the reception which they had given them. Led by Mr. Garvey the huge crowd sung hustily "For he's a jolly good fellow." Mr. Garvey also called for three cheers for His Worship the Mayor and three cheers for the members of the Corporation which were given with a will. The Curios Mr. Garvey said that it gave him great pleasure to introduce to them a gentleman who was well known and who occupied a unique position in the island — the Hena. Almost deCoasta, Custos of Kingston. During the years that he left Jamaica, Mr. deCoasta had taken a prominent part in the interests of the colony. Mr. deCoasta would now address them. Mr. DaCosta said that he had first of all to thank the President General for having been no kind to send him an invitation to attend the celebration. He did not think that he would have been asked to say anything. He was impressed with the whole arrangements that had taken place in that vast park that day. There had not been the slightest hitch, and order had provailed. The President General was giving them very valuable advice and they should follow the procession in the same good order. The Jamaica coloured and black people were always ambitious (hear, hear). He did not think that they had more loyal people in any other part of the world and he hoped that the Almighty would bless them in their labour. He hoped that success would follow the Universal Negro Improvement Association (prolonged choirs). He had been requested by the Acting Custor of St. Andrew to say how very much he appreciated the compliment that had been paid to him by asking him to attend the celebration. "For he's a jolly good fellow" was again sung, after which cheers were given for the Custon of Kingston and the Custon of B. Andrew. The lyrics "There be the tie that hinder" was sung and then the procession funneled, in the same order marched back to the dressing room and the servant, one that long will be remembered by those who attended was brought to a door. The Procession The much talked of procession came on in the afternoon and will long be remembered by all who saw it. There must have been fully 20 thousand people lining the streets through which the colourful procession passed as well as those joining up on the march. Mr. Garvey was the outstanding figure in the procession regaled in the uniform of his office and with cocked hat and red and white plumes in an open car that was wrapped in the colours of the U.N.I.A. He was cheered right along the way of the march. In the car beside him was the Rev. C. A. Wilson, who was the preacher at the service earlier in the day. Another striking figure was Mme. M. L. T. DeMena, also in uniform and mounted on a grey charger with drawn sword leading the procession. A large portrait of Mr. Garvey was carried in the procession and all the delegates from abroad with their banners went in cars, while the nurses, the Guides, the Scouts, the Guards and representatives of various lodges went on foot. The U.N.I.A. Band took part and helped with stirring strains along the route. Formed On Race Course The procession started to form up on the Kingston Race Course shortly after noon where a very large crowd had gathered. It was no easy task to get everything organised and it was long after one o'clock that the final batch left the Race Course and marched down King street on the way to Liberty Hall. On either side of King street right up to the foot of the Race Course stood people in the scorching sun waiting to see the monster parade. On house tops and fences, on trees and on verandahs men, women and children could be seen. Mr. Garvey saw the procession well started at the Race Course then motorized down around the East Race Course via Manchester Square into Duke street then along North street and down King street to Liberty Hall where the order of the procession was finally adjusted. The procession then moved along Button street where land the thoroughfare right on to Hanover street. They went down Hanover street and then into Harbor street and down East street into Port Royal street. Along Port Royal street they went as far as Orange street to the south parade through another dune crowd. Then they went across the South Parade to Summerville place and right through the parking along West Sutton street to Fitzgerald street. They went right up from there to Tunstempton Bridge and the Slope road to Biddeford Park which was reached by the modern street 3.20. not be found anywhere. The Police under Inspector Owen V. Wright, supplemented by a party dotted in FROM THE COPIES and assisted by Ray Sullivan handled the trials in a massive field with commendable considering the vast course of people which assembled and the many motor vehicles, etc. that were in the intersecting streets on the route. When the presentman reached Ebbw-wes Park there were several thousand persons assembled in the stadium to greet them and it was not until the last batch burned in that the cheering died away. Then the curtains was rung down on a movable event. Last Night's Presentsage Over 18,000 persons of every class, creed and colour intended to support addresses delivered last night at Edwins Park by Mr. Marcuss Carvey, and Mr. E. B. Kinn, powerful representative of Mr. Carvey in the United States of America. News in the History of the present generation has such a vast gathering associated to hear speeches made. At 7.40 O'clock the proceedings commence; and among those asked on the problem were: mr. Marcuss Carvey, (Guilding); Minneapolis Horton Violet Horton and Devonshire, Mr. B. L. Hogan, Mr. Wm. Ware, Mr. M. L. B. Hogan, Mr. Chase, L. Jones, Mr. P. F. Hogan, Mr. Chase, L. Jones, Mr. P. F. Hogan, Mr. T. B. Toots, Mr. A. Nixon, Mr. M. B. Sullivan, Mrs. C.ina, Mr. S. M. Cullison, Madison L. T. Dellman, and many others. Victors present on the pilgrimage were Mr. K. A. L. Simpson, Mr. Stanky Atkinson, Rev. G. A. Wiley, Rev. J. Gordon King, H. K. Hammond Stewart, Mr. T. K. Williams, St. K. Belamy, Rev. Alderman, R. H. Lennaugh. The hyme "O Adela Awesome" pop song and the band conducted a full selection which was well received. Miss Howey, who was survived by the Ethiopian band, sang the song in the National Anthem in an audition with PW. Mr. Knox's Remarks "NEVER SEEN BEFORE" ALL eyes are turned in the direction of Kingston, Jamaica. British West Indies, looking with great expectancy for the news despatches that will come from that historic isle. Friends of the organization, as well as those who feel that they are 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 the great opening ceremonies, and of the way Jamaica has been stirred, as it has never been stirred before. They tell of the animation of the folks everywhere in that island; of the way the people have been impressed, and of the great wave of enthusiasm that has taken hold of the populace, such, it is said, "as has never been seen before." Not only the member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who follow the leadership of Marcus Garvey, but the entire race of Negroes stands at the cross-roads of decision today. We have come to that point in our existence when we must demonstrate to the man of all creation, that we are men, fit and worthy of the respect and admiration 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 mock the Negro. "Never Seen Before." Several times in the years to come, the name of the other race of the world will have reason to give expression to that exchamation. They will then have seen the Negro at his best. They will have had an opportunity to see what the Negro can do, what helps he can attain to, fighting for his own development, and for advancement of his race and his own civilization. They will have had the joy, the wonder of seeing the Negro as they have never seen him before, and then will be forced to judge him by his acts, and not view him in the light of prejudice, and malice, and hatred. And in the glaring light of that new day the glory, the grandeur, and the courage of Negro achievements will give the world another cause for wonder and admiration, and to utter again the sayings heard now around convention time. "Never Seen Before." Not satisfied with being merely a hewer of wood and a drawer of water, the Negro has 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 and its quest for freedom and all-around advancement and complete emancipation. He has decided that come what may, he cannot, will not any longer endure the limitations that have been set all around him, that the time has come when he must set out to carve out a 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 men approve or no, the Negro will leave no stone unturned, in this Twentieth Century, to bring into realization the dreams and aspirations that animate him, and which have enabled him to have borne all the trials and difficulties that have crossed his path during the last three hundred years or more. 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 will not brush aside, and no mountain that he will not scale in his climb to greatness, for the expression and the expansion of the powers of 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 awakened upstanding, forward-looking Negro of the Twentieth Century; and nothing short of the freedom of the land of his fathers and the recognition of the rights and aspirations of the Negro will quench the spirit of striving and seeking, that will nerve him, animate him, and fire his soul 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 handicap that now holds him back, and trusting devoutly in his sublime faith in himself and in the God of his fathers, shall have cleared the path to freedom and to greatness; and as a monument to Negro during, Negro power, Negro skill, Negro ambition, Negro earnestness, and Negro invincibility, shall have erected a government, strong, masterful, righteous and secure, that will guarantee and safeguard the rights of the Negro wherever he happens to dwell, a bright and shining example for all the world, and a safeguard of the rights of all mankind. Then will we echo footh again the cry: "AFRICA AND THE NEGRO WILL STAY FOREVER FREE." THE FORCE THAT MOVES THE WORLD NOT mindful of the great demands that are going to be made from from hendelorth, for the successful carrying out of the plans that have been, and are yet to be made, the Universal Negro Enterprise Association, under the leadership of Marcus Garvey, has made by Islands and foe, from all over the world, who constitute the plan of progress, to come together, in a great conclave, to con- We must realize it now, since it stares us in the face, that without money, and plenty of it, there is going to be no means by which we can carry out the plans we have in mind. As things are constituted today, it is the force that moves the world. In entering the realms of business, in any line of human endeavor we must be prepared financially to meet the bills that will present themselves for payment. We must have the wherewithal to pay them; and only failure, blank failure will greet us, if now, that we have the opportunity, we do not lay down a sound economic foundation, 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 generation 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 threash 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 cannot be men, and not do as other men 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 creation 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 underlings, 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 structure. 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 of 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, so that 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 dalyling either. The seeming handicaps can be transmitted 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 provide its own employment, 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 inspiration, but ability to enter these same lines, meet and master the problems 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, honest, earnest, efficient and pains-taking will light the way to financial freedom for this race of ours; and those who will rise Ford-like, and not only challenge the imagination, the honesty, the courage, the daring and the power of achievement of his race will find rich rewards, not alone in the great returns that will come to them financially, but will win lasting honor and esteem that time shall not erase. Rise, fellow-Negroes, this is time for action; and the Sixth International Convention of the Negro' Peoples of the World, offers their greatest opportunity for such a decision than has ever been faced by this race before. Will we grasp the opportunity. The hour of fate has struck. Editorial Opinions of the Negro Press ASPIRATIONS OF THE NEGRO SPIRIT The Negro spirit seeks goals ordained by that Divinity which shapes the destiny of all creation. We find our people aspiring to achieve something not matched by any other races in the past. Although we differ in racial pigmentation from the larger mass of American citizens, it is our purpose to break down all the barriers, and crash through all the gates of opposition confronting our grasp. It is our purpose to attain mankind's highest culture, embrace mankind's material civilization, take on mankind's complete social comforts, share all forms of mankind's wyalth and well being, become masters of all the arts and sciences of the peoples of the earth, and come up to mankind's highest and noblest standards of living and pursuit of happiness.—The St. Luke Herald. Do you realise that you are either pushing forward (or being pushed aside by a better man). If you are weak, afraid or undecided, you will always find that there is someone to shove you aside and take the prize you covet. Man of nerve stand their ground and go forward—standily toward the goal—while the weakling is at the mercy of the passers-by. You are either a pusher or being pushed—which? — The Advocate, Portland, Ore. STICKING TOGETHER Ask any Negro just what the race and he will almost invariably reply that "we don't stick together." He does not know what sticking together entails or what it means, but he knows that our discussion is the real cause of our retaliation. We do not believe that all the intrinsic health among members of the race can be held at the door of slavery. No one will deny that circumstances have played by far the biggest part in the aggression of the Negro. It is neither fair nor reasonable to buy all the blame to external circumstances—The Interpretation, Seattle, Wash. as he scamperms and swings from limb to limb in the tree tops. The meadow lark is never heard to scold or complain as it soars over its fields of golden grain. Only man finds fault with his place of habitation. Is it for this that he was endowed with the powers of discernment, comparison and comprehension? Either that, or he is abusing these gifts. Destructive criticism may be destructive in the sense that it demolishes the outworn to make room for a new and better order of things, but too often it proves only destructive. In community building there must be a happy combination of satisfaction, like individuals, thrive on praise. It inspires them to greater things. A little bitting criticism also helps. To tell them they are either perfect or worthless is to invite stagnation. "Boosters" are ridiculed and "knockers" are hatred. And yet it is possible to combine the two and reduce the thing to a fine art. If you must punish your community's news and shortenings do it by telling the world how it is going to overcome them.—The California Eagle. Women are making a revolutionary request when they ask to be regarded in the same light as are men. Perhaps they do not fully comprehend the incarcerations of their position. They hold a high position in many esteem, and one尊敬 of the contemplation of their full or descent from their high esteem. God made women different; and it is because she is different—differently, beautifully, mercily, spiritually different that the devilish beaten horns and defenses to and from her. But if the worm to be regarded by men so open regard and belief if the without the super blissful form and man man gush such worm and man man so far deeper. The super blissful billion as to guard off the worm as all belong to the most unnatural. What man does frivolity or wrangling K? Who is going to manage the wrangled host? Who is going to speak the host? Who is going to listen for the host? How is a woman to respond to a religious man? A woman who wants to change to be regarded as a man? No, indeed. Wake up always you are the woman, forever one of them. As a champion of Negroes' right, please allow no space in your valuable column to publish the following interesting facts: On Sunday the 30th July, the Student's Literary Association, consisting of students from colleges and universities of this city, went on an outing on The Hudson Day Line Beat to Indian Point. The host was crowded. Evangelical service was held, and the preacher (white) and inter alia that he gave thanks to God for the glorious opportunity of worshipping with Jews, Catholics, Protestants—people of different races, religions, nationalities, and even different colors. Networking this seeming brotherhood on the host, the members of the Students' Literary Association were discriminated at the bathing pool of the Hudson Dawn Line at Indian Point. The students, however, cognizant of their constitutional rights would not merely submit to such unwarranted abridgment of their rights in "the land of the free and the home of the brave," where there are equal opportunities to all, so led by the writer they held up the line from 2:20 till 5:20 during which time about two hundred people were prevented from bething due to the unwillingness of the company to accept Negroes in the pool, and the determination of the Negroes not to move from the head of the line. Now Mr. Editor, the time for pumy-footing and weekly submitting to ill-treatment has passed, and gone forever for the new Negro. Those of us who fought to make the world safe for democracy, are determined that we shall enjoy that democracy or answer to Almighty God the reason why. We therefore appeal to all intelligent Negroes to stand up like men for their rights and let it be known that the old Uncle Tom Negro is dead and that a new type lives who believes like Terrence of Rome—"Homo sum humael nihil met alienum puto." "I am a man and nothing that is natural to man is foreign to me!" EDWIN P. BURTON, 2323 7th avenue, New York City. Editor of The Negro World: It is quite amusing for one to sit down in our liberty halls at each mass meeting night to hear members so called the great U. N. I. A. espound in almost breathless tones the doctrine of Garveyism. As if in a nightmare they would seem to carry the audience in a survey from Cape Town away down in Egypt land. They cannot be offered anything less than admiration for the skill of their pictureque state of mind at the exact moment, though afterwards there may not be much gumption coming from it so as to keep it intact. For one to give the situation a study at close range there is no gain-saying in admitting that our people has come on well since the Hon. Marcus Garvey had started the agitation for African Redemption and has no doubt caught the spark of imagining the goal, but we badly lack the spirit of getting down with the trowel to work to make a base; besides there has got to be a thorough revival from the unethical attitude to a modern diplomatic system, in performing our duties both to the association and our relation to each other individually, before any real success will be achieved. There are about a million bags full of professions daily to the love for the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A., but apparently they seem to transfigure hourly into a vast army of Greek gift bearers. We take it as a great pleasure to be always entertained time after time in our meetings by any member of the U. N. I. A. and of our race touching the great cause and Africa's Redemption which tends to stimulate and give more impetus and zeal for one to carry on. But for God's sake we ask this one favor: Practice what you preach. For remember: wage and means to make a livelihood all one will be easy to acquire, most of our weakness lies here. This is my findings for the past three years of careful study to reach this conclusion. I feel it is most important for our life itself. We will turn to the Jews or any other race that has a strict social code for that matter, and see their strength. And no one could break through this entrenchment readily. The ones in their group who break it is locked upon as an outcast. It takes a deep meaning you see. This does not mean hate for any one, but racial strength, and world respect. As you have once said, "We should be original." We should drop the immoral examples of other people and take on our natural self. We have been asping long enough. Today we are being questioned in divers members by all people; it is surely a reason. The eyes of the world is truly on us. We are passing a whirlpool at present. If we survive soon will be still water and sweet will be the peace and calm to the world at large. I am here enclosing one dollar toward the convention fund. Wishing all success for racial upift. A Friend. New York City. Stop Telling Black People to Bleach Their Complexions! To the Editor of the Negro World: Too long have we held our poses concerning the damnable continuation of certain newspaper advertisements, urging persons of dark completion to "written their sins." No doubt, the parties putting such advertisements in the journals of Negro circulation, pay well for such publicity, and receive handsome returns for their goods. But are we to sacrifice all principle and self-respect for mercyment gain? Good God! Every time such a publication appears in our newspaper, it is an assault of the rantest, order to our intelligence and sense of decency! What in the name of common sense and reason, gauges any black or brown person to wish to change his color? Did not the same God who created the white face, see fit to create the black ones? If the Negro people will take a retrospective survey of their recent history, they will discover many disgusting and disgraceful causes for their semi-bleached appearances. (White morons of the most degenerate nature satisfying their justifiable passions at the expense of black womanhood.) And today, our newspapers supposed to be mediums of education and morality, suggesting by the presentation of such advertisements, that its readers purchase toilet productions which will make us all look like the "cast-off progeny" of white rapists. We love our race, and do not hold any responsible for conditions or results over which they had no control, but for God's sake don't tell us to commit racial suicide or practice the indication of such. White roses are beautiful because of their beauty, not because of their color. Red roses, the same. Let no Negro delude himself with the idea that virtue lies in the color of one's complexion, or the texture of one's hair. Let the Negro concentrate on getting something within his head, rather than so much grease, salve, and oils upon his hair to make himself appear attractive. Furthermore, there is no person who uses such treatment for face bleaching or hair straightening, who succeeds in fooling any but himself or herself. And he who tries to fool himself is the biggest dunce of all. Some publishers of our newspapers might attempt to plead extreme poverty, for accepting such embarrassing copy; but when we consider the general harm that many of them are rendering the race, a substantial reduction would prove a timely blessing; thereby permitting those of merit and worth to exist from the united support of their readers. I dare say that the thinking members of our race would consent to pay 10 cents more for each issue of their papers, rather than have them resort to the acceptance of such discrediting advertisements as aforementioned. Trusting that this belief criticism will be regarded in a constructive sense, for the best interests of us all. ARTHUR R. GRAY Los Angeles, Calif. August 4th, 1929. That is why down-trodden and oppressed peoples everywhere, permeated with blessings from an high, refuge to submit to the status of inferior beings, politically, racially, spiritually and otherwise. That is why the two most oppressed peoples of the world are now, through their representatives in convention, assembled at Burich and at Kingston, respectively, legislative planning for the peace and good will of their respective groups. Intelligent someone (Jew) throughout the world are intently interested in the doings of the Bishut National Congress, every Jew in heading financial and moral support to the good cause, the cause of a rebounded Israel, and it is as it should be. Let the Jew redeem Jerusalem and all Palestine as his national homeland, thereby enabling him to rest his weary foot on the banks of the historic Jordan and find political rest in the land of Abrahams and his fathers. And to this end, the Jewish National Congress now in session at Zurich has appropriated ten million dollars so as to enhance the Bishut national movement, and to carry out the plans of the Jewish Provisional Government for the ensuing year. On the other hand the international Negro Congress is now in session at Kingston, Jamaica, convened for the purpose of furthering the plans of the Nationalist Negro Movement, and to strengthen the cause of the Provisional African Government. Let every Negro prepare to support the decision of Congress (our Congress) let no obstacle great or small stand as a barrier in our way, above all, let no secession differences interfere with the carrying out of our program, and for the good of all conceived let us bury the hatchet of discord and carry on in unison, for God, for country, and for freedom. Let the intelligent and courageous members of the House of Deputies, act as a Parliamentary whip upon the ultra conservatives, and force them in fire with the "Progressives," to propound and accept a militant and practical method for the bringing about of the political salvation of all Negroes. I, for one, am impatient with the moddicy coddling of things Africa, coming to a sudden realization of the black man's position, and with a keen sense turned upon the possibilities of the future. I can't see why 400 million Negroes can't redeem Africa, all obstacles notwithstanding. If Congress rises without appropriating sufficient funds for the military and scientific education of a few dozen black youths to be sent abroad to be educated under the auspices of the Foreign Relations Department of our movements, then its labors will be in vain and the redemptive plans for Africa will suffer a set back for the want of able leadership. If Africa is to be redeemed for the peace and quietude of the Hametic peoples of the earth, Congress unhesitatingly must go on record and announce its support to all nationalistic African movements, moreover, it must pledge the support of the teeming millions under its control to adhere to the principles of the Cape Town Congress. Under no circumstance must Congress adjourn until a satisfactory method of approach and collaboration with Africa at home is found, and congratulatory cablegrams should be sent to all oppressed Nationalistic agencies throughout the East, conveying our sympathy and pledging our support to the cause of Universal Human Rights. The Sensational Story of France's Greatest Colonial Fighter And The Negro King Who Sat On A Throne of Beaten Gold AH MUS' GO BACK TUH KOLE! To mission either of three two great negroes is to mention the other. The Neas of General Dudde and King Behamam are inextensively woven together. General Alfred Amodeo 'Dudda, France's greatest soldier in the period prior to the great war, was born in Bengal, French West Africa, 4, February 6, 1822. His grandfather, of English descent, was born in the col- ony of Gambia where he was married to the Daughter of a Frenchman and a woman of the Foulish tribe. His father, Emery Dudda, the son of this union married Mike. Bifland, daughter of a Frenchman and a Sem- guese woman. General Dobbe was thus of mixed ancestry on both sides. Behainan was by far the most powerful of the West African kings. And he was not such as often possess for a king of Africa. He was a real monarch. He was descended in direct line from Theodouon, who in 1688 had conquered Dahomey and taken the throne from the Houenot, whose ancestry also dated several centuries prior to that. In December, 1670, one of Behainan's ancestors, Admanan the First, had visited Paris and had been received with great ceremony at Versailles by the Grand Monarch himself. On October, 1628, Admiral D'Wijbee, in the service of Louis XIII, had visited Delaware. The reigning black monarch received him with great deference and held foes in his honor. He gave him to drink out of his own cup—the highest honor possible—and gave Prince a trading post on the coast. From that time on, the two nations have been trading. It was this gift, nearly three centuries later, that is almost the direct cause of the encounter of General Dodds and King Behnain. A word or two about the exploits of General Dodds before his encounter with Behnainn Flosse Bowelle (the King Shark). General Public. Brilliant Entering the military college at St Cyr, he was graduated from it at the head of his class when 12 years later he took part in the Franco-Praussian war with the rank of captain. At Busselton, where he was wounded, he was decorated on the battlefield with the Cross of the Legion of Honor for bravery. In this war, disastrous for France, he was captured at Sedan and taken into Germany, but escaping, he rejoined his company. Recaptured, he escaped into Switzerland and was interned. But escaping once more he got back to Paris in time to take part in the defense of that city. From then onwards until the time of his retirement, his life was one of almost continuous warfare. He put down revolts in Madagascar led expeditions against African chiefs in West Africa, among them being the Prophet, Abu Bubekr, ally of Samory; secured Senegal for France; put down revolts in Indo-China; wiped out the Tonkin pirates and commanded the troops in Senegal for twenty years more. Here he married a Senegalese lady of pitied ancestry. In 1891, after having taken part in twenty-one wars, he was returned to France and given command of a regiment. He was also made a Commander of the Legion of Honor. Beharrin, a Deity Let us return now to King Behanzin. Like his ancestors, Benhanzin was absolute master of his kingdom. A med of his head might mean life or death for almost any of his subjects. His person was sacred and the common people were allowed to see him only at coffinials. Very few persons were allowed to see him in the performance of any bodily function. If he wanted to drink while on the march he would be hid behind a screen from the common game. The water would be passed to him, at which the soldiers would throw themselves prostrate to the ```markdown ``` But the most redeoubtable part of Behaezin's army were the female warriors. ground and utter "Ah-h-h" as if they were enjoying the drink with him. He was held in such respect and veneration that not even his saliva was allowed to touch the ground. All the refuse of his body was macerated. Says a writer; "Dada! (King) we hear even yet the accents of veneration mixed with terror with which the old Dabomevane pronounced this But the most redeubt word. For them it symbolised the richness, grandeur and power of their fatherland. It epitomised the souvenirs of the glorious conquests of Dahomey." Dahomey was wealthy and drew the elements of its success from its trade, its powerful army and the courage of its soldiers, which were deemed invincible. The King, as 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 thoroughly trained by a system of gymnastics developed by the Dahomeyans themselves. They were divided into brigades and companies and the discipline was perfection itself. At the head 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, 5,000 in number. These were recruited from the lushest virgins in the kingdom and were sworn to chastity. They ranked above the men. The king sometimes took his wives from among them or gave them to the bravest warriors. It is also said that when a man had a wife too unruly for him he gave her to the king for his army. Female Warriors The training of these amazonas was of the severest kind. They had to charge with bare feet into a construction of thorns. Boghero describes 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- OF BERT WI tion like a house also thickly covered with thorns, the whole resembling a citadel. "All the women are at their posts in an attitude of combat, arms upraised, swords in hand massed in line of battle before the front of attack. The king rises and goes to the head of the columns. He addresses them, inflaming them, and at a btable part of Behanzin's army we give signal they throw themselves with indescribable rury upon the mass of thorns. "Descending as if beaten back, they return three times to the charge, each time so swiftly that the eye has difficulty in following them. They mount onto the construction of thorns with the same ease that a dancer moves on the stage, and yet it is with their bare feet that they have been trampling the sharp spines of the cactus." Slaving Bulls Another of their exercises was to have a maddened bull let loose on them which they had to kill with their bare hands. Some would go down, but at the end of a few moments the bull was killed with as much ease as a sheep in a European butchery. "One should not be astonished after this," says another writer, "to hear that these women fight with extreme bravery, exciting by their courage and their indomitable energy the other troops that follow them." Like the men, they fought nude to the waist. The Dahomeyan warrior had 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 gesture at the neck.) "Spy: 'Good, 'The condemned man knelt and hung his head as if he were only going to have his hair cut. The executioner raised his weapon and said, 'Are you ready?' "Yes.'

Pettyness, streaming with sweat, he stroked to a cushion for his sword. In the morning the half-decapitated man, alert, stolical, uttered not even a green." Two hundred of the sturdiest of these women warriors and five hundred of the finest males formed the king's bodyguard. Barred All Whiten. The preferred weapon of the Dahomey warriors were short swords and knives, but a goodly number of them were armed with the latest rifles. The use of these had been taught them by German and other European instructors. Behanzin also had six Krupp guns and a few other field pieces. Bahamani's policy was to keep all white persons, except a certain few, from coming into the interior of his were the female warriors. 10 . . Drawn by Text by BEN DAVIS, JR. Drawn by A. W. RENNEGARBE kingdom. Such others as came in were permitted to bring no sextants, surveying instruments or cameras. The custom; service was rigid, and visitors had to be provided with a passport in the shape of a palm almond wrapped in a special leaf. Fear of the king's wrath and his perfect police system prevented the corruption of his officials. Theft or crime of any kind was very rare. Visitors Made Prisoners Explorers and others who came in were virtual prisoners. That is, they became the guests of Behanzin, Every courtesy was shown them, but the officials who were sent as guilds, and the domestics also had received special orders as to what they were to be shown and with whom they were to be permitted to speak. At no time were they ever allowed to remove themselves from the sight of some of Behanzin's force. King Behansin was a man of energy and great force of character. He had seen the intrusion of the European into the kingdom of his neighbors like King Premph of Ashanti, first as missionaries and visitors, and later as conquerors. One by one they had been gobbled up. He, alone, had been left independent, and great patriot as he was, he decided that he was going to be master in the land that his ancestors had been ruling for at least six centuries. Solenid Physique Behanzin has been described as tall, well-developed and strong, of impetuous nature, but dignified. Unlike his rival king, Toffa, in the neighboring French protectorate of Porto Novo, and unlike his rich subjects, he dressed simply. Around his body and across his bare shoulders was draped a long fold of silk after the manner of an ancient Greek or a Roman senator. He wore sandals, Use Head as Well As Heart in Love Julia Jarvik Have you a punding love affair on which you need friendly advice? Write to Julia Jerome, care of this newspaper. If you wish a personal reply please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope. A young lady of Wendell, N. C., asks a rather difficult question: My dear Mrs. Jerome: I am the unhappiest girl in the world. I dearly love a young man whom I met in my high school days. He seemed to love me very much while we were together and still says that he loves me. But he hasn't visited my home since school closed over a year ago. He has been away and though I have seen him once or twice and he has asked me to marry him, still he seldom writes to me and so I do not feel that our hearts are really passionately bound together. Please tell me what I should do. My dear, we often have to set the stage and then invite love in. Love does not usually proceed in the romantic way in which we read that it does. In real life, men who amount to anything, have something else to do besides courting. They are interested in making their way in the world so they can later pay the expenses of love and give their sweetheart a home. Since he says he still loves you and has proposed, I think that he is sincere. On the other hand I believe you should recall to his mind indirectly, that you are both young and life very fleeting. Don't ever accuse him of neglect but make some opportunities for him to see you which he can't resist. Invite him to your house for a week-end. If that is impossible go up to see him some Sunday and spend the day. Take a nice homemade lunch, things which you have prepared yourself, and go with him to the country or the park and eat it. Then talk to him frankly and say how much you miss him. I'm sure that you can make the excursion so pleasant that he will want to repeat it again soon. AND THERE ARE A talkative damn an end of our ocean liners, asked the offensive steward during a rough passage if he was accustomed to sea lags. When he advised her that he never looked at 'em, the crowd roared. CARE OF HATS Hats when put away for the season should be thoroughly brushed; if the trimming cannot be worn again as it is, it should be ripped off. If space allows, each hat should be packed in a roomy box by itself, preferably with tissue paper, to prevent it from being rubbed and marred. Felt or cloth hats, feathers, fur and woolen trimmings must be protected against moths in the same way as woolen garments. KEEPING MOTH AWAY Heavy mothproof paper bags may be bought for storing woolen and silk garments. Homemade ones of newspaper or thick cotton are equally efficient, provided there are no holes through which the millers may enter and in addition some repellent is put in the bag to drive the millers away. and his only affectation was a long pipe of exquisite native craftsmanship which he puffed at nonchalantly most of the time. He was also : poet, his verses and war chants are said to be the finest ever produced in Dahomey. (The last part of this thrilling story contains a daring account of General Behanzin's bravery. He fought the entire French army. France could subdue him only by the resourcefulness of the black veteran General Alfred Dodds, who commanded one of the most skilled mixed regiments in the history of France.) The Arteries The sluices are opened and the great pump is working above its normal capacity in order to keep abreast with the function assigned to it. The trenches distributing the contents of the pump are, in the ma- jority of cases, somewhat nigzag thus resulting in a retardation in the distribution. In the above simile the pump refers to the heart, the contents refer to the blood, the sutices are the heart valves, the zigzag trenches are the arteries. The arteries are so characterized because they are hardened and sclerosed. They have lost their elasticity. They are stiff and rigid and feel like a pipe stem. It is no wonder that they bear the name arterio-sclerosis. They are undergoing a process of degeneration. This, in part, is a natural process after the fifth decade of life. In our last discourse we discussed this phase and also that of high blood pressure. We shall mention today other causes which tend to hasten this change in the arterial system. This is an age of worry and strain. The contentment of the forefather is inadequate to satisfy the demand of his progeny. A pace has been set and we are more or less caught in the speedy race of life. Business must be carried on efficiently or else the grounds gained would be lost. The brunt of the situation is placed heavily on the man at the helm and owing to business reaction life is lead at a high pressure. The arteries of such individuals are prone to under- When we remember that all men are but grown up boys, we should not be surprised to know that men like women who can laugh. After reading through thousands of requests for help in matters of the heart, I have arrived at many conclusions, chief among which is the above. The sorrowful, petulant and fault finding woman is not so popular as of long ago even though she may be the village beauty. Men are becoming more sensible and are looking for comfort, security and peace rather than to be dazzled. The ugly girl is not without admirers nor does the ungainly one go forever unmated. The old fashioned girl is very popular with men seeking to build a home. They want a girl like their mother. The girl who knows how to clean and cook and new on buttons. They like the idea. They like a girl who loves children, while the girl who smokes is not sought. She may win a fine husband but he will not go forth seeking her. The average man still dreams of a cozy cottage, vineclad and a smiling face to meet him at the door. The tremendous success of the song "My Blue Heaven," was not entirely due to the marvelous voice of the sweet singer who introduced it, but largely to the endearing picture it painted. Every man has at some time in his life dreamed of such a home coming as in: I'm happy in my Blue Heaven. When the wife turns into a scold Black Sunlight Right at Your Door (Concluded.) "Just Mollie and me. And baby makes three go early degeneration. Rest from a continuous business occupation with a change of acency. will do much to revivify one who has been travelling a downward path due to arterial affections. In this country the gossip respecting the consumption of alcoholic beverage is quite a live and interesting one. One thing is certain that the alcoholic is very likely to have his arterial system impaired early. This condition might be brought on by the direct or indirect use of the substance. There individuals are never particular about the preservation of their health at any time. Pure air, nutritious diet, wholesome water, judicious rest are essential foreign to their manner of thinking. Then too, the contents of the liquor are at times questionable. Undoubtedly, a sound bill of health can never be expected from such indulgence and a degenerate condition of the arteries is generally the outcome. The mild sentence, "In the sweep of thy face shalt thou eat bread," is generally overdone. Not only is this inconsistency found in individuals who have to eat forth mannerly efforts for the accomplishment of work, but is also found in those of sedentary habits. These people do not seem to realize the limit of their strength. They perform their daily task strenuously with the result that the wear and tear on the arterial wall soon become evident. Over-eating is such a tempting affair that many have fallen victim to the allurement. The rich are those most guilty, though individuals of lesser means are not exempted. Honey affections with degenerative joints are some of the severest. Pallor of the skin, dyspnea, giddiness, dizziness, throbbing in the head, headache, and the passing of very little urine are some of the symptoms which might attract the attention as to degenerate arteries. Many individuals have fallen unconsequently on the highway through the song-cause. Now that you have been familiarised the consequences sometime with you. or a frowny fright or a social butterfly who either plays cards or dances away her hours, he gives up and turns sour, looks for other entertainment and usually finds it. Every color of girl has her admirers and strange as it may appear, many men like women to be plump. Skinny women are not popular. For the girl who is about to risk her health in an effort to be slender, this may be welcome information. Most men prefer women between the ages of twenty and twenty-five; this is the highest point in a woman's desirability. At this age she may pick as she will, all things being equal. Afterward, she is limited more and more. Men of fifty feel that they are very eligible to pay court to the twenty group and are usually acceptable. Few men seek for wealth in the women of their choice. Rather, they want to be looked up to, asked for things, depended upon, in short, romance is not dead. It lives in every human heart anothered some times, but dead? Ah no! Travellers arriving in India from Afghanistan state that Jellalabad is a blackened ruin. It appears that a band of tribesmen from the hills plundered the town and set fire to the fort. The fire reached the underground magazine and a serious explosion resulted.

PAJAMAS The Daily News campaign for sensible ho tweather attire (pajamas) for men has gained many converts.

Not to be left behind, abreast of the tide, a few of Harlem's most daring youths are promenadin' through our aisles in this state of disbabille. I venture to say it will not become popular; except with freaks; who no doubt will be in their element. It happened on a Hudson River Day Line steamer. A child was crying in the dinin' room. It could not be pacified. A homely colored waiter entered from the kitchen balancin' a tray. As he passed the table the child's mother said: "If you don't stop cryin', I'll give you to this bogey man." The whole dinin' room heard. Quietly settin' down his tray the Ethiopian, walked up to the child and in a kind voice made this statement: "Don't be 'fraid, honeh! I know Izzo black and ugly, but I won't hurt a hair in hui pretty head! I'm human! Don't you be 'fraid!" The mother was dumbfounded. If you've heard this before stop me. Sam and Joe went bear huntin'. Findin' a den, Sam poked inside. He heard whines (cubs). Sam volunteered to go inside to drag out the cubs. Meanwhile, suspectin' some thin' wrong the mother bear returned. Joe, on the outside, dodged behind a tree. The bear made a bee line for its den. Joe dashed out and seized it by the tail. Its body was inside the hole. The openin' became dark—the ligat was cut off from the interior. Sam shouted out: "Who dat dey in de hole? Who dat dey? I say who dat dey?" From his strained position (at the bear's tail) Joe yelled back: "Fool! If I lets go of this heah bear's tail you soon know "Who dat dey in de hole?" CONNIE'S HOT CHOCOLATES DARK CHOCOLATES ONLY BEST FOR CHOCOLATE CONNIE'S CONNIE'S its Fifth week at the Cherry Lane Theatre. Supporting Miss Clough is Hensley Winfield, in the title role. Alberta Hunter is on the Keith-Albee circuit. "THE WALL BETWEEN" "The Wall Between," the drama by Frank Wilson who played the title role of "Porgy" in the Theatre Guild's production of that title, started rehearsals this week. Wilson is directing the play personally. Immediately following the opening of the piece in Philadelphia on the 26th of this month, Frank Wilson will return to England where he plans to reopen "In Abraham's Bosom" which will be the second unit of a series of Negro dramas which will be played in London. Wilson just closed a highly successful engagement of "All God's Chillun's Got Wings" in the British capital. "The Wall Between" is expected on Broadway the second week in September. Negro Composers To Be Given A Chance It has been announced that the important work of synchronisation will not be entrusted to Nordic composers of music. "That would be a mistake, for it is the opinion that Nordics cannot write Negrold music. That is an art which is confined in total to the colored composer. To date the Negro writers have not been given a sing at composing for motion pictures. We are sure that when 'The Siren of the Tropica' is set to music that it will be far more satisfactory than if it were synchronised with tunes from the pens of Nordics." Joe Jordan, noted colored composer of New York City who has won great recognition both in America and Europe for his talents, has signed a contract with the Gold Pictures Corporation to supply a totally original music score for "The Siren of the Tropica." Particular stress will be placed upon the theme song which Jordan has composed. According to present plays a group of seven numbers will be published from the score and broadcast through nation-wide radio hook-ups. Negotiations are now under way to have these compositions played and sung on the Negro Achievement Hour, which is one of the feature programs given weekly over Station WABC in New York City. BERMUDIAN DANCE WONDERFUL SUCCESS Gaiety prevailed. Those words are sufficient in themselves to record the wonderful time enjoyed by everyone present at the Renaissance casino, Tuesday, August 6th. It was the introductory dance for the Visiting Bermudians. The place was decorated with red, white and blue streamers. Andrade and his orchestra tooted tunes that had the merry throng piroquetting on their toes like whirling dervishes. The Bermudian players were introduced by Gerald Butterfield. Messieurs, Holt and Hadley, though present, were not brought forth; being kept in seclusion by their sponsors. Again we repeat: Gaiety prevailed. Dyckman Oval, August 5th. The Visiting Bermudian cricket team, opened their tour in this country by a decisive win over the Antigua C. C. It was no more than expected. Owing to the bad ground, the Bermudians did not display any form to speak of. They just swung their bludgeons at the very poor offerings served by a woefully weak Antigua outfit. They gave innumerable chances. Antigua failed to benefit from the gifts. It was heart-rending. Their men shivered like leaves in a gale, while waiting for the leather to drop from the ether. When the sphere did arrive it either struck their nervous WHO, DAT, DEY: Jack Johnson is Made Jack Johnson, ex-heavyweight champion, has been appointed matchmaker of the Grand View Boxing Club in New Jersey, and boats will be held there every Tuesday night during the outdoor season. The club, according to Johnson, can seat 7,000 fans. WILLIE SMITH, who halls from Hamilton, Bermuda, used to be a good mit alinger. Meet of his fighting took place out west. His fighting name was Battling Smith. He made a wonderful record. I had the pleasure of meeting Willie at the cricket match on Sunday last, the game being played was the St. Kitts versus Overseas Bermuda eleven. After looking the Battler over I asked him if he was still in the racket? He told me. "No," that he realized he had had enough. But I said, "You do not show any marks from the effects of fighting." "No," he said. "I always believed in using the art of self defense. Through this means I was able to enter into about seventy-five battles and come out without a scratch." ERRETS FIELD CARD All the sights on the card at Ebbets Field this Wednesday night are heavyweight bouts with the exception of the four-round preliminary. The first bout will go on at $80 sharp. The program of bouts: Wild Bill Daring vs. Jack Winnick. 4 rounds; Eddie Kelcm vs. Paul Swideraki. 6 rounds; Angus Snyder vs. Jack Roper. 10 rounds; Ted Sandwina vs. Paul Mercurio. 10 rounds; Tom Heeney vs. Victorio Campolo. 10 rounds. AWAKE AFRICANS sar a Mandate to proceed with the Solution of the Native Problem along the lines associated in the Prime Minister's Native Bill, in., to deprive the Cape Natives of Franchise rights conferred upon them in 1888 by Her Majesty Queen Victoria of ever revered memory and to give him more resemblance of representation in Parliament, and to grant the Natives of the Northern Provinces a "political sop" in the form of a right to return on a communal basis a couple of representatives to the non-ruling House of Parliament—the Senate, while they will have no representation at all in the House of Assembly—the House that rules the country. It should be known to all White South Africa that the aboriginal African has advanced to such an extent that he cannot be expected to accept this sort of camouflage or political torsofoolery. As a matter of fact the spirit from which General Hertzog and his followers approach this question as shown by their public utterances right from the famous Smithfield declaration of 1925 to the recent Election Campaign, makes it absolutely impossible for the African to accept this base offer. But, happily, my reading of the Verdict of the Electorate is different from that of the Government Party. While Caesar has declared that it is his desire that General Hertzog shall continue to rule the country perhaps for the space of another five years, yet he has shown hesitation to furnish him with a mandate to proceed with the Native Bills. The Electorate plainly calls upon the Government to summon a National Convention to deal with what has proved to be the Question of Questions in the Sub-Continent. It should, however, be clearly understood that the Non-European will not tolerate a repetition of the procedure adopted in 1908 when a so-called National Convention was called, in which they had no representation, as a consequence of which they were ruthlessly excluded from the political organism of the land. Their Appeal to London was dismissed with very heavy costs. No, Sir, a National Convention which can deal with this vital question to the satisfaction of all concerned must be directly representative of White, Black and Colored. The gathering may even take the form of a Round Table Conference. To the Blackman the Message of the Campaign appears to be: "Africanese, swahla, put on your strength; sink your party jeebuses, discard all your provincialisms and triumph; for the grim struggle for your political existence has now commenced." Boxing Shadows Baby Joe Gans in Draw With Sammy Bakes BABY JOSE GANS, the colored waiterweight champion, put up one of the best fights of his career last Tuesday evening against Borgeant Sammy Baker of Soldier fame, who has fought them all and is still one of the best wrestlers in the game today. Gans dropped the Burg. for a count of five in the first round. This incident sure did create some excitement. Everybody was up on their feet for a few seconds. They thought that Baker was out, but old fighting instinct was there and Sammy came out of it easily. Baker taught one of the roughest fights ever, seen around here for quite some time. Using a neck grip on Gans, pulling him in and slugging his head with his right. Whenever he couldn't get to the head he would shoot to the heart and kidneys. Baby did not seem able to put up any defense against this method and suffered therefrom. The cleaner punches however were handed by Joe, who appeared to be in the best of form. Personally, I think Gans should have won this fight on points as he easily won five of the ten rounds, two were about even and Sammy taking three. But, as I told you last week, "That it was doubtful if the Baby would get the decision other than in the event he knocked Baker out." I imagine he was happy when they gave him a draw. It was from the affects of the punches he received from the Sergeant when Sammy chose to pull him in with his left around the neck that indicted a deep cut over Gan's eye, in the fifth round, that caused him a deal of trouble. Trying as they did while in his corner to stop the flow of claret, was of no avail, as Sammy would play right to the eye as quickly as possible in order to trouble his opponent's sight. A return bout between these two would be just the right thing, and Al Weil should lose no time in bringing this about. HARRY SMITH, a product of Hariam, took on Henry Goldberg in the semi-final ten-rounder. Goldberg was noted as being a rather tough opposition up until the time he met Smith, and Harry changed his rating and reduced him to a more pug. Goldberg didn't have a chance: right from the start Smith was on him, swinging left and right. Henry had never seen so many gloves behind in his life. Harry never let up, he had Goldberg so bewildered, that he was looking for an easy out. Angus could see that. In the fourth Harry sent over a right to Goldberg's jaw that sent him spinning on the ropes almost out on his feet. The bell came to his rescue. To get away from this punishment he drove one in below the belt and the referee sent him to his corner, otherwise Smith surely would have knocked him out, and added another to his already long list of knockout victims. If Harry keeps up at the pace he is going now he surely will get somewhere. THE Grand Old Man of ring fame. Harry Wills, sent his new importation from Trimida in the person of Kid Singh, out to meet Nick De Salvo, in the opening four-rounder. The Kid put up a wonderful showing against an opponent that outweighed him about five pounds, and tough to boot. The Kid is quite young, and if he continues to improve will give the boys around here a lot of trouble; and don't forget who is training him. I questioned Harry about his protege and he told me, that he was so impressed with the boy after seeing him in an amateur bout that he referred, while in Trinidad, that he asked him if he would like to go to New York, where he could get plenty of action and make money. The Kid was so elated with what Harry asked him, that he jumped for joy, and said "yes indeed." he would like to make the trip. So now the Kid is here, and he intends to make good, for Harry's sake. DON'T make me laugh out loud! What? Kid Chocolate has more color than Al Brown? How come? To me Brown is just as interesting in the ring as the Kid, and why. Al has a wonderful knockout record when he used to put on these good boots at the old Commonwealth Sporting Club (now the Olympics), he was an answer to a fight shirt prayer. Whenever he was carded the club was sold out. And how? You were around town "the days" Don't you remember? Everybody was talking about Al. If that was not the result of ring color, what is this color you are looking for? Get into yourself. There is the THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN, N.Y., WAS IN A FUNERAL MEMORIAL FOR A MAN WHO DIEED IN A MASSACRE. THE MAYOR, JOHN M. BROOKLYN, Died on Saturday, May 15, 1945, at the age of 86. He was a dedicated public servant and a man of great integrity and compassion. He was a lifelong member of the City of Brooklyn and a devoted supporter of the city's community. He was a man of great integrity and compassion. He was a lifelong member of the City of Brooklyn and a devoted supporter of the city's community. The above picture is one taken of Harry Wilkis and the matron on their arrival to the city from a tour of Europe and the West Indies. how down. There is a good deal of money spent somewhere when a colored fighter breaks through the daily press as often as the Kid does. Get me? A lot of publicity bagts a lot of color. Now Al, looks at it in a different way. He probably says I can fight, but in order to get matches, I am not going to pay out a lot of dough, and I don't blame him. It's the fellows that pay out and heavy, that keeps the other fellows that won't pay out, life. my trust, and George, do you know the other half of it. Four buy, I am sorry for you, but your cards are stacked. EVERYBODY is still struggling developments at the Garden Headquarters regarding the following Harvary proposed base. Every state seems to be pushing this one I guess. It. Harvary will have to go outside the three-city Now listen; don't think for one moment that I am trying to pan anyone, because I am not. I think a lot of Kid Chocolate. He is a good boy, pleasant to everybody. Prosperity has not gone to his head, as it does some of the hope. You can appreciate him well anytime. Don't ever talk about Chocolate and Brown doing it together. The weight you lose the weights. Brown's fighting weight is around one eightteen and Chocolate one twenty-night, so that lets it out and nowhere. One or two promoters have told me that straight colored bouts do not pay. Best proof you don't see them staging any around here. Do you? No, no, wrong again. Brown is just as colorful as Chocolate if actual fighting ability and following counts. HEAR that Al Brown is getting ready for another European invasion. I don't blame him, as the Oafy boys around here, in his division, don't seem to be very interested in trying for the crown now that he is champion, as there are no challengers. So back to the place where he gets plenty of action and is apparently more liked. Al is a good thinker with plenty of intelligence, and you cannot blame him for using such good assets, as quite a number of the boys in the game are as dumb and still as tomb stones. If the rumor is right I say to you, Al, "bon voyage," and good luck. But don't forget to come back some day. REFUSE to have anything more to say about the heavyweight division and its complexing situations. I have tried to get Godfrey in on the scene, but they won't even let him in the lot. I am not talking pictures. I understand that Godfrey is not one of the most intelligent. He allows his manager, who is an Irish-American do all the thinking, talking and deciding. George does not even ask questions. Do you not see it is useless trying to sterr him, as he is immovable. The sad, but true, and would you believe that Godfrey is rated by all as being the best heavyweight in the world. I venture to say he could knock out any one of the lot in one round if he so desired, but being of Southern birth he is affected with inferiority complex. When he hits a white opponent he grabs him and allows him to get over the effects of the punch before falling him again. Mr. Manager drug not desire him to get too rough. This remember the proposed fight he had with himself? It did not materialize. Did it? Why, it was materialized. Did it? Why, ing trust, and George, do you know, the other half of it. Poor boy, I am sorry for you, but your earth also stacked. EVERYBOOT is still awaiting developments at the Garden Headquarters regarding the Furnishing-Sharky proposed host. Every state seems to be paddling this one I guess. Mr. Cherry will have to go outside the timber house it and stage this one on a bank. Just a bad idea, as you can see off a certain area and change so much the yacht space. Of course, nothing but the idea risk would be present, but what of that as long as there is many roads and then some there would be when there is a good exchange of blows delivered, or if one of the opponents should get knuckled overboard. No, no, they would simply say: "My, my, isn't that too bad." So you see the party would be just grand for the noble four hundred. THAT makes me think of the Chocolate-Singer bout. What will become of it, now that the boys have signed to meet at the Polo Grounds on August 29th? You know this fight is always linked up with the Schimming-Sharkey thing, so much so, that we don't know where we are. Anyway we will wait developments, as regardless who the promoters are, the boys want to witness this one, and soon. THE busiest colored boxer of the day (none other than Kid Chocolate) turned in another victory by the knockout route last Wednesday evening, when he stopped one Tommy Lorenzo in the sixth round of a scheduled ten-round feature bout at the Mitchel Field Sporting Club. This bout only proved to be a good work-out for the Kid, as he took every round up to the sixth when he sent over the crusher. It appears that it was at this club that Chocolate made his first appearance in America, and it was only the form of giving that management a break, as the club hit a small one, and only takes in around three thousand dollars when there in a complete sell out. The Kid received forty dollars for his first fight at this club, a little over two years ago. Now he draws down around twenty thousand dollars for a fight. Of course, he is worth every bit of this money. He will probably receive around forty thousand for the Finger match. SECTION Un considerable admiro de organización de aquesta mes se ví representado en la gran parada, cosa aparuma de la nueva convención internacional de las pueblas agrores del universo, la cual tiene lugar en la ciudad de Kingston, ina de Jamaica, durante todo el mes de agosto. 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.

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.

It has changed the minds of white people all over the world (hear hear), and I will venture to say that this wonderful demonstration which we have staged here in Kingston today will cause the people in Kingston also to think as they never thought before about this Organisation (applaus). But this is but a slight indication of what negroes will do in the very near future. We insist, I repeat on the secret marrow of justice for our people—justice according to the present day standard and we have but little time to think or devote to anything else. Nevertheless we should pause to pay our respect to those who 91 years ago stood in the House of Parliament in London and a few years after in the House of Ongress in the United States of America and pleaded for the abstention of chatters slavery in the British West Indies and in the southern part of the United States. In paging our respects to them we want to say this: that we pray that the God of The Universe will cause that same spirit that motivated them to highlight as they did 91 years ago; and we pray that that same spirit will. BEGIN TO BUSINATE The hearts and minds of those that are legislating now in Great Britain and the United States. We want to say that: If the good Lord don't change their minds somebody else will (applause). They frown our physical bodies from chastity slavery but at that stage of the game the worst was first begun. People don't go as far upon what others do for them as they get by their own actions. They give us but a taste of freedom and over time that day they have been working automatically to dramatize even their legislation at first day and then. But under the power of the Devil, Black and Green and under the leadership of Mr. Martin Gurray they are going to keep the work going on. We are going to achieve absolute freedom so far as it is innately possible (applause). Now I know there are quite a few more laws like there are everywhere. else who do not think it is possible for the negro to do better than people are doing. They think that inferiority complex in his mind will prevent him from doing those things advocated by the U. N. I. A. but we have proven in the last 10 years that it is but fiction in the minds of anybody who thinks that the negro is inferior to anybody else (hear, hear). The negro is the equal if not the superior of any other race of people in the world (applause). Now I just want to say this: There are lots of people who like to talk about this very time you speak of the emancipation of the negro. They like to go back and compare the negro, or rather make comparisons which they think will prevent the negro from waking up. They say: "Well, in 91 years I think the negro has done enough to prevent him from complaining." Or in America they will say: "I think that within 60 years the negro has done more than any other people could have done under similar circumstances." Now, that implies that the negro has not been doing very long. The fact of the matter is that the negro was doing before anybody else was doing (applause). The negro started humanity off doing. The negro started humanity thinking and the negro had the that was ever known. From the blood of the nagro came the golden rule. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Anybody talking of trying to hold out the proposition that we ought to be satisfied with our present condition and our present degree of progress is doing it simply because they have been able to keep us from fully realizing our responsibility as men and women, but as a people anybody who thinks we are going to be continually held down by that propaganda, or tainted in our efforts by that propaganda they are easily mistaken (applicable).

It was advocated in America for a long time that it was absolutely unnecessary for the negroes there to pay attention to negroes in any other part of the world and it was advocated to you in this country that it was not quite natural for you to be concerned with negroes anywhere else. Since the coming of the U. N. I. A. they advocated both in America and here that the negro should not be concerned with Government. Now anybody with an lota of common sense knows that the negro had not got justice. Some people say the negro is standing in his own light; but the fact is that somebody is standing in the negro's light and the negro is determined to move him out of the way (loud clapause). Mr. Knox went on to pledge the support of the American negroes to Mr. Marcus Garvey and said that the sentiment in America was on the increase, and the U. N. I. A. WAS STRONGER TO-DAY than it ever was in spite of the obstacle they had to contend with. Concluding, he said: "So long as we fight for the cause represented by these colours, the God that keeps the Univers, the God Whom we know will do nothing but right, the God that loves all of us, regardless of colour, the God of Justice, will give strength and energy to us that we may successfully make the great fight we are making for justice for negroes all over the world. I thank you (tumultuous applause). Mr. Garvey said that before he delivered the speech of the evening he wanted to present to them a gentleman who had served his country and was a friend of the organization. He thought it was his duty to present him to them. He was speaking of Mr. H. A. L. Simpson, O.B.E., a member of the Council of the Corper Area of Kingston and St. Andrew (cheers). Mr. Simpson was well known to them. Mr. Simpson would not speak to them on account of the time. Mr. Simpson stood up and was heartily cheered. Mr. Garvey said that he had just received a cablegram from the Detroit Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which reads: "In you we hope for salvation." This was received with loud applause. MR. MARCUS GARVEY When the applause following his rising to speak had subsided, Mr. Marcus Garvey gave his address: "Slavery is an institution of horror," he began: "since man divided himself into clans and tribes and groups and became strong and weak respectively, the strong have always enslaved and oppressed the weaker, irrespective of race, irrespective of colour, irrespective of tribe, clan, or nation. Because of this ascendant power of the European nations and the weakness of the African tribes, slavery as an institution was imposed upon the latter several hundred years ago. In the imposition of that slavery millions of our foreparents, our grand sires, were removed from their native home, Africa, into the new countries of the West and rivalling each there, Spain, Portugal, England, France, engaged themselves in the Salome pursuit. They contended for centuries. The French, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the English in the West Indies and the Americas did their bloodiest and their worst in imposing on our grandsires such conditions as but very few human beings could live under. Fortunately, however, they survived until the humane of our human race started to agitate, started to reason with the world how inhuman and unkind and unreasonable and unjust it was to hold men, their bodies and souls in slavery. The agitation in that respect continued for a long time, a long period. Some of the agitators suffered and died because of their pleading, but subsequently they triumphed. The agitation for the abolition of slavery was a success to the extent that in 1888 English Editor of the Kiddle Corner This gentleman began to explain what the Chicagoans could do, and what the New Yorkers couldn't do; as if it mattered what state you are in to be able to do something. He was an actor, and first told of his failure in the movies because of his color. He stated that Chicago could boast of a colored Congressman, and so many representatives, while New York couldn't show anything of importance that the Negroes were doing. This gentleman ought to come to the Liberty Hall in this city and see whether or not Negroes more doing anything. He, being a Chicagoan, should make his colored so-called politicians get him in the movies. This gentleman declared that all the Negroes of New York can do is to talk; but the Negroes of the U. N. I. A. in this city are talking business. Are those politicians seeking the Negroes' rights, or are they seeking for social equality? Time will be the judge. The gentleman ended his conversation with these words: "My folks do things while your folks talk things." sentiment forced Queen Victoria, of England, and her Parliament to emancipate the blacks of the Dominion—the blacks of the colonies in the West. The same sentiment of agitation in America forced Abraham Lincoln in 1865 to free the four million slaves then in that country. Other countries of the world fought independently for their freedom and first among them was that great but now sorrowing Republic which is a stone's throw from us—a neighbour known as Haytil or Santo Domingo. There the abolitionists did not agitate and other white philanthropists did not contribute to the cause of emancipating the people of that country. But there, to the honour of their country and our race a black man fought for the liberty of his people—Tousaint L'Overture—the greatest Negro that ever came out of the West; because he was successful in heading in Santo Domingo an army which beat the trained soldiers of France and the trained soldiers of England. Another section of the West Indies fought also but they were not successful and they remained until America went to their assistance. I speak of Cuba—Cuba that country that has given us that other great Negro of the West—Antonio Maceo. And CAN WE FORGET that other Negro who though unsuccessful in his time made an attempt to free this island?—George William Gordon of St. Thomas? No! (applause). But although as Negroes we were freed in 1838 and in America as Negroes we were freed in 1865 from chattel slavery, unfortunately we have still remained slaves; and the efforts of the U. N. L. A. is to create a second emancipation—an emancipation of the minds and the thoughts of the 400 million Negroes of the world. In doing that we offer no apology to the world. (Applause). We offer no apology to any country in the world, we offer no apology to any race in the world, and we stand firm and determined that we shall create for ourselves a second emancipation that shall make us free indeed (loud applause). After elaborating on the aims of the U. N. I. A., Mr. Garvey said: "The world is drunk with power. Men have been insolent to others because they have been weak. Can they forget the history that inspires men to great things? If they review history they will remember that it is doubtful whether they will rule the world tomorrow (hear, hear) and if they thought twice they would not impose their insolence on others. Remember that men are created in the image of the God and although men at times lose their souls and the consciousness of themselves it has happened that men have recovered their souls and the consciousness of themselves. And when they do so they realize that they are the sons of God, able to rise to the highest (applause). To-day we have the consciousness that 400 million Negroes shall rise to the highest as our forefathers did. Mr. Garvey went on to refer to what he called the "weakness of the Empire" in sending third raters out here, but said that black men were no longer AFRATID OF OTHER MEN because their eyes were blue. If necessary they would make those eyes red (laughter and applause) because they (the Negroes) had already piled up a record that no one could surpase. "We have left our record at Thermopylae," the speaker added, "and coming right down through the ages they had left their record along the line. They had served the Italian, the American and the English. OUR GOVERMOR For Complete Treatment or 50c. for Trial Box and Be Convinced. For Full Particulars.

He expected all the delegates to OBSERVE THE LAWS OF JAMAICA They must keep the law and keep the peace and they would find that in so doing they would have as much right as anybody else, according to the constitution of the country. What the U.N.I.A. was advocating was the right of the black man to be a man and not a subjudicated person. Mr. Garvey concluded his address with some verses. For Tonlight Mr. Garvey said that on Friday night two leading orators from the United States of America, one from Michigan and the other from Louisiana would address them (applause). He would also deliver a speech which they had never heard before in Jamaica (tremendous applause). They would be having the Jamaica Military Band and a number of well known artists to assist in the fine programme for the evening. The first stanza of the National Anthem was sung and then the "Ethiopian" National Anthem. Mr. Garvey offered prayer, pronounced the Benediction and the proceedings ended. Get worthwhile results.
