Huge Meeting At Edelweis Park Friday Night, August 2nd U. N. I. A. Again Names Marcus Garvey Its Head President General and Founder Re-elected by Acclamation KINGSTON, Jamaica, Wed., Aug. 7. In a session attended by fifteen thousand delegates, and marked by an undercurrent of opposition, Marcus Garvey, president general and founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was re-selected head of that body at its sixth international congress here Wednesday. Garvey was also selected to continue as head of the African Communities League which has headquarters in St. Andrews. Meets Opposition That there was a well defined opposition however was kept well evident throughout the session. This opposition however, was kept well under control by the tactful hand- KING BEHANZIN ```markdown ``` Meeta Opposition ```markdown ``` ling of a well oiled majority steam roller. Several times the two factions almost clashed, and at the Tuesday business session, Garvey adhered, after charging that there were delegates present for the sole purpose of making trouble, urged the President General to point them out by name. This, however, Garvey did not do on the ground that it would not be discreet to name the trouble-makers and undesirables. In accepting the presidency of the organization Garvey declared that it had no official relations with the incorporated association in New York. On the eve of the meeting of the congress, Garvey and officials of the association were hailed into court by G. Marks, who sought to collect obligations incurred by the body which Garvey headed in New York. No Relation Masterly Scientific Review On Color Line "Bielwais Park" rang with the sound of clapping and the vosiforous applause of ten thousand people who had gathered once again on Friday night last to listen to the oratory of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and two eminent speakers from the United States, one Dr. J. J. Peters, and the other Mr. J. A. Craigen, both delegates to the Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, which opened on Thursday last. Several other delegates were seated on the platform, including the Hon. E. B. Knox, Madame M. L. T. Demena, Sir William Ware, Hon. W. A. Wallace, Hons. S. R. Rows, Aaron J. Johnson, Gladys Parker, Alexander Dixon, J. S. Groom, S. V. Robertson, Mrs. F. B. Fields, L. V. D. Schmidt, Charles M. James, Martin Jackson, Rev. Ethel Williams and others. A delightful programme of music and recitation preceded the orations. Mr. John Lyons, the male soprano, rendered a song, Mr. Granville Campbell, talented tenor, contributed a solo as did Mrs. Steadman and Mr. R. E. McKinnon Stewart, Miss Hewie sang in fine style the song: "Keep Cool", which was composed by Marcus Garvey while in Atlanta prison. Professor Gerardo R. Leon recited with much feeling a poem composed by himself. MR. J. A. CRAIGEN'S SPEECH The first speaker was Mr. J. A. Craigem, whom the Chairman, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, introduced as High Commissioner of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the State of Michigan. He said: "Ladies: The Honorable President General of the Universal Improvement Association and other officers and delegates here assembled: Before I attempt to say anything concerning this Universal Negro Improvement Association, I must deliver to you my fellow workers in the canon Africa greetings from the Detroit, Michigan Division. This has withstood all opposition and obstacles in its attempt to redeem our motherland Africa. Detroit sends her greetings to you with the fullest sympathy and with her spirit of co-operation, joined with you in the demonstration that you had here yesterday. I want to tell you to eight that in the enthusiastic demonstration yesterday, in the demonstration up to the very moment—you can rest assured that there are thousands in the state of Detroit who share such enthusiasm with you. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which we are a part, is enduring to do for four hundred million Negroes of the world what you are enduring in do here in Jersey. In this very moment there is your beautiful island. I must not but feel so you feel, so I give your demonstration together with these thousands of Negroes of the world who did so as the sons of Detroit who were and will be sons of Jersey. that just be well as often must be proud of their country. Negroes should be proud of one distinguished to themselves. It is a wonderful feeling to know that wherever you go, whatever things you may speak, the cause of Africa is prevalent within your very souls, the cause we are attempting to promulgate, the cause for which we have been suffering for these many years, the cause for which we are willing to sacrifice anything, you even our lives. Men may deny it as they desire; but just as there is a God who rules the world, Africans shall be free and Negroes shall retain their country. (Applause). Why shouldn't the Negroes have a country of their own? (A voice: "We want to know). All other races of the world have their own way of claiming nationality. They have had to go through the same hardships the Negroes have had to go through. SOME WHOLESOME CHAT As you send your boys to school—the free schools with white boys, with brown boys, and with yellow boys, they accomplish their aims and go out into the world with an aim in life. The white boy goes out with an impulse that drives him to do great wonders. This is the same cause that made Japan control Japan; the same cause that made the Chinese control China; the same cause that made the Mexicans control Mexico, and it is the same cause that is urging four hundred million Negroes to go and take back their motherland, Africa; and as we stand up here, the world is listening to what we are going to do. We are here to give to our posterity something tangible: snorros anything that can be sacrificed; but as we go back to the place from whence we came, we feel that something has been accomplished. Continuing, the speaker said that he knows that God is just, and as the little stars shine in the armament above, as the Sun gives out No Light in the days; and the moon be silent and just as they were there that night under the leads, ship of Mercury Glory, just as will Africa be redefined. (Applause.) Dr. Peter's Comment Dr. J. J. Potem, High Commissioner for the U. N. L. A. for the State of Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, "the three worst states in the United States of America." was the most member.

X., Sunday night, August 18th, 1999. Henry coat was taken in the largest hall, the new Liberty Hall of the Carvery Club, Inc., of New York, who are staging meetings of the Uni- versal Negro Improvement Association, under his auspices. Long before the hour for the start of the meeting, hundreds of inter- nal members and friends, from all parts of this great city gathered to hear the news of the U. N. L. A., the world over, and especially to hear of the reports of the happenings of the International Convention of the World. This was high, as the time for the meeting drew near; and by the time the word was given for the proximal hymn to start the house was vibrant with the feeling that was almost tangible in its intensity. Prof. Ulrick Hassell and his hand in their accustomed place were in the One Thin Woman Gained 15 Pounds In Five Weeks Men, and women; weak, thin and miserable, are urged to put on weight and get back their health and strength with McCoy's Tablets. One woman gained 15 pounds in five weeks and that's going fast enough for Europe. McOey takes all the risk—read this trembled guarantee. If after taking 4 early onset boxes of McOey's Tablets or 2 One Dollar boxes any thin, underweight man or woman doesn't win at least 5 pounds and feel completely satisfied with the marked improvement in health—your money will be returned. Just ask for McOey's Tablets at any drug store. McOey's Laboratories, Inc., 62 W. 14th Street, New York City best of spirits, and gave such splendid renditions that the vast assembly were stirred to deeper emotions. The Chair, under the direction of Mr. Dume, came in for a share of the honors of the evening, by the splendid anthems rendered by them, which added to the attractiveness of the evening's program. The Black Cross Nurses, were not behind hand in their activities to help to make the meeting a success. The Legion, under Col. J.-W. Beilamy, the Motor Corps, and the Juveniles were all to be commended for the dash of realism which they contributed to the scene; and there was no doubt that the appearance of these various units, caused some minds to look forward to the coming of a day when they will be of actual service to the race, that is struggling to be free. A solo by Miss Douglas merited the warm appreciation of the audience, as was also a rendition by the "FAMOUS SEVEN". Among the speakers on the evening's program were: Mr. George Maynark, author of the hymn, "The way be dark and dreary"; Mr. J. E. Clarke, who had recently arrived from the convention in Jamaica, and brought words of encouragement from the Asat'i International Organizer, Mme. M. L. L. T. DeLena; Mr. Huxiable of the U. A. Legions, Mr. P. Rhoden of "The Famous Seven"; Mr. W. Thompson, who had been a former president of one of the divisions in Cuba, and was still devoted to the cause of the awakened and uplifted Negro and an African Redeemed; and Mr. Chas. M. Bolden, of the Aviation department. A solo by Mrs. James of the Garvey Club, Inc., an ardent and faithful worker for the cause was warmly re- a number of your race without thought of the marrow, for it permits evil for him that this both not. Because I cannot better you I am here to tell you, and emphatically, that if we do not seriously recognise as a people and face the world with a program of African nationalism our days in civilisation are numbered, and it will be only a question of time when the Negro will be as completely and completely dead as the North American Indian, or the Australian Bushman. Program on stand. You talk about the progress we have made in America and elsewhere among the people of our acquaintance, but what progress is it? A progress that can be matched away from you in forty-eight hours, because it has been built upon sand. You must thank God for the last two generations of whites in our western civilization; thank God that they were not made of sterner stone, and character and a disposition to see all races their rivals and competitors in the struggle to hold and possess the world, otherwise, like the Indian, we would have nearly all been dead. their differences and settle the future of our respective people. The solitude of both races will not step to think and not, but the responsibility becomes more so sure, who have the vision of the future. Recognising the Race I repeat that we must recognize ourselves as a people if we are to go forward, and I take this opportunity as you assemble yourselves here from all parts of the world to sound the warning note. To review the work of our Association for the past two years is to recount the exploits of a continent. The progress of the Negro in our civilization was tolerated because of indifference, but that indifference excludes no longer. Our whole civilization is becoming intolerant, and because of that the whole world of race has started to think. Does Not Blame the White Man? Can you blame the white man for thinking, when red and yellow men are knocking at his door? Can you blame the tiger for being on the defensive when the lion approaches? And thus we find that generations ago where the Negro was not given a thought as a world competitor he is now regarded as an encumbrance in a civilization to which he has materially contributed little. Men do not build for others they build for themselves. The age and our religion demanded it. What are you going to expect, that white men are going to build up in America and elsewhere and hand it over to us? If we are expecting that we are crazy, we have lost our reason. If you were white, you would see the rest in hell before you would deprive your children of bread to give it to others. You would give that which you did not want, but not that which is to be the sustenance of your family, and so the world thinks. Do you think that they who bled and died to make America and the world what it is, are going to hand over to a parcel of Negroes the things that they prize most? Stop flattering yourselves, fellowmen, and let us go to work. Do you hear me? Go to work, go to work in the morn of a new creation and strike not because of the noonday sun, but plod on and on, until you have succeeded in climbing the hills of opposition and reached the height of self-progress, and from that pinch beneath upon the world a civilization of your own, and hand down to your children and posterity of your own a worthy contribution to the age of human materialism. Fair and Just We of the Universal Negro Improvement association are fair and just. We do not expect the white man to rob himself and to deprive himself for our racial benefit. How could you reasonably expect that in an age like this, when men have divided themselves into racial and national groups, when the one group has its own interest to protect as against that of the other? The laws of self-preservation force every human group to look after itself and protect its own interest, hence so long as the American white man or any other white man, for that matter, realizes his responsibility, he is bound to struggle to protect that which is his and his own, and I feel that the Negro today who has been led by the unscrupulous of our race has been grossly misguided in the direction of expecting too much from the civilization of others. The Carpet-Bazger Immediately after emancipation, we were improperly led in the South by this same group and ultimately lost our vote and voice. The carpet-bagger and the thoughtless, seahalf Negro politician and leader sold the race back into slavery. And the same attempt is now being made in the North by that original group prompted by the dishonest white political boss and the unscrupulous Negro politician. The time has come for both races to seriously adjust their differences and settle the future of our respective peoples. The solitude of both races will not step to think and not, but the responsibility becomes more so ours, who have the vision of the future. Recognizing the Race I repeat that we must recognize ourselves as a people if we are to go forward, and I take this opportunity as you assemble yourselves here from all parts of the world to sound the warning note. To review the work of our Association for the past two years is to recount the exploits of a continuous struggle to reach the top. Our organization has been tested during the past two years beyond that of any other period in the history of Negro movements. I am glad to say, however, that we have survived all the intrigues, barriers and all the handicaps placed in the way. Some of our enemies thought that they would have been able to crush our movement when I was convicted and sentenced to prizes. They had depended upon that as the trump card in their effort to crush the new spirit of freedom among Negroes, but like all such efforts, it was doomed to failure. I will bring to your memory a similar effort made a little over nineteen hundred years ago when in Calvary's mount the Jews after inspiring the Romans, attempted to crucify the man Christ, the leader of the Christian religion. They thought that after the crucifixion, after he was buried, that they would have silenced the principles of Christianity forever, but how successful they were is made manifest today when we find hundreds of millions of souls the world over professing the principles for which the man died on Calvary's cross. As in the rise of Christianity, no do we have the spiritual rites of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world. They tried to crucify it in America, and it has arisen in Africa a thousand fold. They tried to crucify it in the American continent, and it is now sweeping the whole world. You cannot crucify a principle; you cannot call the souls of men to a cross; you cannot imprison it; you cannot bury it. It will rise like the spirit of the Great Redemer and take its flight down the ages, until men far and near have taken up the cry for which the principle was crucified. - Unbroken in Spirit We of the Universal Negro Improvement association are stronger today than we ever were before. We are strong in spirit, strong in determination; we are unbroken in every direction; we stand firm facing the world, determined to carve out and find a place for the four hundred millions of our suffering people. We call upon humanity everywhere to listen to the city of the new Negro. We ask the human heart for a response because Africa's sun cannot be down. Africans sun is rising, gradually rising, and soon he shall take his place among the brilliant constellations of nations. The Negro wants a nation, nothing less, nothing more; and why shouldn't we be nationally free, nationally independent, nationally unfettered? We want a similar nationality to that of the English, the French, the Italian, the German, to that of the white American, to that of the yellow Japanese; we want nationality and government. We can realize that the American nation in a short while will not be large enough to accommodate two competitive rivals, one black and the other white. Black Man's Aspirations Black Man's aspirations There is no doubt about it that the black man of America today aspires to the White House, to the Cabinet, and to the Senate, and the House. He aspires to be head of State and municipal governments. What are you going to do with him? He cannot be satisfied in the midst of a majority group that seeks to protect its interest at all hazards; that the only alternative is to give the Negro a place of his own. That is why we appeal to the sober white minds of America, and not the selfish ones. The selfish ones will see nothing more than the immediate present, but the deep thinking white man will see the result of another fifty or one hundred years, when these two peoples will be brought together in closer contact of rivalry. As races we practically represent a similar intelligence today. We have graduated out of, and passed through, the same schools, colleges and universities. What can you do with men who are equally and competently fitted in mind but give them an equal chance, and if there is no chance of equality, there must be disenfraternization on the one hand. That disenfraternization we have in our midst now. Gustavus sums up here he began that he thought in represented the three worst states in the Union. He wanted them to find that their business and matters in the United States were with them in the struggle for that thing which they called justice. He was going to talk to them on the subject: "Garvey Caller". On the meeting of the previous day he heard the preacher frequently discussing a passage from the scripture in which he said that Jesus calls you to do certain things. He thought that he (the preacher) having told them that Jesus called them, his subject was rather in order that night. He thought it was perfectly in keeping with good judgment to have one of their own to call them once in a while just as it was important to have Jesus to call them once in a while. Garvey called them from ignorance to knowledge—from ignorance of their true condition—from ignorance of the shackles which now hold them tight; Garvey called them from colour prejudice within their race. Garvey called them to destroy colour complex and to become one in the struggle for justice and freedom. He tells you further: that the man who despares you because of your colour is your greatest enemy. There were people among them in the States from which he came who thought that to be black was a curse, but he was going to take two minutes to analyse that view. He was going to show that the biological substances that cause one to be black was something that was missing in other people. Take somebody like himself, for instance they would find that when the sun begins to shine he would just keep on shining with the sun (laughter); but take somebody else who lacks that same degree of pigmentation that the black man has and they would find that when the sun begins to shine his skin begins to peel off (laughter). Anthropologists and scientists have told them that the only race to be transported from one climate to the other and to maintain identity, and to survive all conditions that come with change, in the Negro race. Therefore what had they to be ashamed of. He wanted them all to understand that white men respect the man they called Garvey. Freedom cannot be purchased by money, but by hard fighting and determination. The Negroes had not lost a single leader yet. The only one that went to prison for a little while in Marcos Garvey (A voice: And he is here now, laughter). But when they read the pages of history they found that other races had lost many leaders upon the star of sacrifice. More Survey again The Hon. Marcus Garvey was the next speaker. After the thundous applause with which he was greeted he said nature had made man and divided him into races. The ages have seen the appearance and disappearance of many races in the great struggle of the survival of the fittest. That day, they were face to face with the conflict of another age in which man is called upon to play his part and play it well. They had not changed much in this age, in this generation from looking towards their clan, from looking within the tribe, and so they found on every hand, man is divided because of the call of race, because of the call of clan, because of the call of tribe. They represented one of the groups that have survived the ages because of their courage; because of their fitness to live (hear, hear), and apparently they were on the last stage of the struggle to survive, because man was more active in the 20th century than he has been herefore, and so on every hand they heard of war and rumors of war because man were preparing for the final struggle, much of that struggle; a race that has been outwitted for the last five hundred years, a race that was gradually recovering itself, in readiness to hold his own among men. The Negro stood before the world to-day, a determined creature, a creature of will, a creature of character. This will and this character, will make him what he hopes to be—ruler of his realm. God divided man into groups, into sections of the tribes so he geographically placed them in their native habitat. The man of white he gave Europe; the man in yellow he gave part of Asia; the man in brown he gave another part of Asia, and the man in black he gave Africa (applause). Man because of his courage and weakness has transgressed the law of God and invaded the dominion of man. Each race in turn began to invade the domain of the other. That invasion was breaking down now. Presently Africa shall call a halt and Ethiopia shall once more rule. The orater then proceeded to give illustrations of men who had served their country well—men whom freedom called into active service. They as black men shall take the current which was now serving them in the 20th century, just the same as the England, Poland, India, Japan and Ireland—they would take the current which would carry 600,000,000 black men towards their emancipation. They shall disarm truth only at the Convention, truth only as it affects the Negro. (Applause.) Negroes Are A Hindrance To The Race The Negro race is in an awful plight! After reading a couple of articles of a series of stories published in "The Tattler," a magazine published in New York, about the Horn. Marcus Garvey, I wondered if we were really men or monkeys, who comprise the Negro race. I personally think that as a race of people, we have not yet reached the point where we should attempt to destroy ourselves; but rather where we, as an oppressed race, should stop, think and resolve never to speakable and fight any longer among ourselves. Most everyone knows that the name of Marcus Garvey appearing on the front page of any journal creates attraction; for the same reason his name is used, and the journal becomes a good seller for the time being. The managers and writers seem to understand this very well. I am wondering at this moment whose name will appear on the front of the Tattler for attraction after this series shall be ended. Who is as big as Garvey? As important as he? Such men as this are the hindrances, that they have stood in the way of the unfortunate Negro for many a decade. Unfortunately, the American Negroes have in the past been isolated mentally from his brothers in far-off lands. To him, all other Negroes were merely strangers and foreigners of a lower type than his—a torture error. Now since Garvey came, he has changed this selfish attitude, by means of his dynamic psychology, but still there are men like the writer of this story, who are trying to make the good work which has been done. It is for the same reason that the Hon. Marcus stated in a recent message, that there is not one real, genuine Negro to be found in the entire Negro race. Of course, it would not be good policy for him to say he is the only real Negro living today who is capable of the position he now fills—but he really is. North Carolina For Negroes For B Large Sums Being Spe North Carolina College For Negroes Preparing For Banner Year Large Sums Being Spent for Improvements Dr. Shepard Has Hope of Great Future DURHAM, N.C.--The North Carolina College for Negroes is anticipating the best year in its entire history, and preparations are now being made for the opening month, according to Dr. James E. Shepard, who has been head of the institution since its inception. The college is now in the midst of a large building and improvement program that will place it on par with any institution of learning in the South in equipment and personnel, and its expansion and growth in recent years has probably been more prenomenal than that of any other college in the South. A new administration building, one of the handsomest in the South and erected at a cost of $145,000, will greet the old and new students at the opening of the fall term. In this will be the offices of Dr. Shepard and other administrative officers, as well as classrooms and offices for instructors. It will be thoroughly due to the efforts of Dr. Shepard and the friends of the institution whose efforts resulted in its erection. Two other handsome buildings will be started in the near future. A dormitory, to house 100 students, will be erected at a cost of $100,000, and a new dining room and kitchen will be built at a cost of $43,000. Since the present huge improvement program was started, the college has attracted widespread attention. It has twice been the scene of the meeting of the Fant Finding Conference, which is composed of G. O. P. Plans 'Lily White' Drive In South Huston Being Groomed to Take Dr. Work Post and Consolidate Last Campaign Gains WASHINGTON.—Foremost in the deliberations of the Republican national committee, beginning here September 9, will be development of plans for building a "fly-white" party in the South and consolidating the Republican gains in the Hoover-Smith campaign. That is one of the reasons it developed today, why Claudia H. Huston of Chattanooga, Tenn., is being promised to succeed Dr. Robert Work as chairman of the national committee. Unless there is a last-minute upset in the plains, Huston will take over the reins. Choice for First Huston is uninterested in be President Herber's choice for the post. When Mr. Herber was Secretary of Commerce Huston served as an assistant secretary of commerce and helped build the machine which created the G. O. P. presidential association for President. Education of Huston would be acquired of a good grade to the grade, since he would in the past continued served to the Republican congress. It would be the new chairman who would out a similar position to the former chairman. I am quite sure that a man like this author cannot consider himself a real Negro in the sense of the word—that is if he is a Negro at all. "The greater glory dams the law" is a true saying; and so the glory of those little fellows—if they have any all, is to that of Curray's like the glow of a candle at the head of a corpse; to the brilliant rays of the summer's sun. Now, if Garvey is a fool, no one would bother himself about writing stories—which he claims will hold one's attention as few stories can. Garvey is not a fool, but a fool naturally thinks a wise man is a fool. Among the foolish things the author mentioned in his story, comment on Garvey in the Negro World, are as follows: "He displays optimism, braggadocia, and ignorance of the fundamentals for which he has become famous! The Negroes were eager to join anything, especially that which promised them an empire in Africa where they could be their own boss and kick white folks around as they had for centuries waited to do." Now this is one of the smart men of the Negro race—if he belongs to it? A Negro is not an傻子 as he thinks he is傻子 he is on the side of the U. N. L. A., for it is the only reasonable escape the Negro is going to have in the harder days to come. The great statemen of the United States of America know it: those of Europe and Asia know it: because they are trained men along the line of nationalism, and in the science of human existence. Unfortunately these are called important Negroes know nothing of the kind; because they have no government to give them that scientific training. All the training they possess is to move from one flat to another.

In this will be lo. the offices of Dr. Shepard, and other administrative officers, as well as classrooms and offices for instructors. It will be thoroughly due to the efforts of Dr. Shepard and the friends of the institution whose efforts resulted in its erection. Two other handsome buildings will be started in the near future. A dormitory, to house ICG students, will be erected at a cost of $100,000, and a new dining room and kitchen will be built at a cost of $45,000. Since the present huge improvement program was started, the college has attracted widespread attention. It has twice been the scene of the meeting of the Fact Finding Conference, which is composed of the leading Negro citizens of America. Dr. Shepard, as president of this Conference, has demonstrated leadership not only in the realm of education but also as a man useful to and interested in his race. An excellent enrollment is expected this year, and the college is looking forward to the best year in its history.

">see We must also learn from the experiences of our children, and the hear in unmistakable fashion the dazzling tails of the Vale of Impatience spitting to us Magnae, whatever on earth we may dwell; singing no earnest, forward, upward, to the great tails at hand, to the achievement of the darts the line of which mankind has never attained to before, to the carving out for ourselves, of a destiny that is best suited to our own development, and the development of our children's children. The blood surges in our veins, our throats grow hoarse with emotion; our spirits grow bold, and we feel again the courage of our fathers rise up in our hearts; our pulses beat faster; our backbones stiffen, our eyes flash, our nerves grow taut, and the spirits of our great ancestors pass in inspiring and quickening fashion before our mental vision, and passing through that great drama, we go forth under the skies of the new day which has dawned in the Twentieth Century, sweeping to be men or die. Unchangeable in our declaration; unfilching from any form of prosecution, or of persecution, for that master, the Negro race moves forward today, resolved to conquer or to die. And we shall not die till we have accomplished that which the Great Spirit of Infinity has commissioned us to go forth to do. We shall not falter in the face of any crisis, or in the sea of crises that may seem to engulf us. Purged by years of oppression and hardship, the Negro, bursting his bonds today, emerges upon the plains of God a free man and king in his own right, the master of his own fate, the captain of his soul. Neither floods, flames, persecution, prosecution, perils, trials, death, hell, torments, or the grave will quell the Negro's cry for freedom. Let lightning flash, and cannons roar. Ethiopia shall be free, and we shall sail our gallant ships on every rolling sea. Because of the divinity of the purpose which impels the Negro to go forward today, under the rays of the sunlight of the new day which has dawned in this the Twentieth Century, his spirit cannot be tamed by any man-made device. Because of the invincibility of the soul of the Negro there is no power on earth, or in the waters under the earth that is going to be able to intimidate him, or turn him from his goal. Every force in creation, every atom in this universe serves as a lever and a fulcrum to lift the Negro and his race from the sloughs of despond, to occupy a place in the very scheme of things, decreed by the Great Creator of the Universe Himself. "I am that I Am" has spoken. He holds the worlds in the hollow of his hands. He has called us to rise from degradation and despair, and face the sun and all creation. Taking Jehovah at his world, we move forward, today, to serve him in our own, peculiar way, to mould our own destiny, and to free our fatherland. And heaven knows, "The Negro Race is Ready." Undeterred by the iron hands of unkind powers, and the scorpion-fails of inhuman overlords, we are more prepared for the fight against oppression than mankind has ever been prepared before. The time for temporizing is past. Henceforth it is forward. There is no longer any room, any reason for Negroes to fear. Why should Negroes fear? Does not Infinity speak for us, urging us on, and up? Does not every force of creation impel us to move forward with precision and a determination that has never marked the advance of any race before? Fear is for cowards and for cravens. Negroes have brave souls and stern hearts, strong muscles, and an undying, invincible spirit, and Fate is calling. "LET AFRICA BE FREE" is the legend written on the skies. "LET THE GREAT RACE OF NEGROES RISE" comes the undying, insistent call of Infinity. Quickened to action, the Negro breaks his bonds asunder, hails all creation, and re-echoes the cry, so that all the world can hear: "THE NEGRO MUST BE FREE," "AFRICA MUST BE REDEEMED." Thirsting with a deep, unassisted desire for a new and larger freedom, burning with eagerness, for the carrying out the commands of destiny, impelled by Fate, and inspired and rejuvenated by the visions of the great and noble ancestors of a race that taught mankind the way to live, as they pass in spiritual vision before us in our aspiration, we move out, unafraid of crises, undaunted by death, unfinching from the grave, yes, we move forward to the realization of our hopes; to the freedom of the race, and the redemption of Africa. Nerved by the Great Good Father of all Creation, we step out boldly to carve out a new destiny in a new age, in a brighter and better day, in a grander century than earth has seen before, vowed to "Victory, or to Death"; and we shall not falter, nor can we fail. And looking with prophetic vision down the years as they come and go, all creation rises up and tells us that "this great race of Negroes shall not die," "TILL AFRICA IS FREE."

XXVL. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1929 No. 3 DOES YOUR ANCHOR HOLD? SHIPS must cast their anchor so that they can take firm hold to help them from drifting, and from being tossed about, when they come to port; and in certain ways people are like ships. Since we are Negroes; and we feel that we have not had the opportunities that we ought to have had; and since, in this new day, in this new era, we are emerging upon the plains of God, preparing for a great journey on the ocean of life, it behooves us to see that we have must shear anchors, that will hold us safe and secure, in the storm, as well as in the calm. There must be no drifting when the ship comes into port, or has sapped at sea to ride out a storm. Her anchors must be depended on to hold her fast, so that she may be safe from harm. In like manner, the ship must stop its drifting habits, and provide itself with strong, must shear anchors, that will hold alike in storm as in calm. These anchors must be strong enough to hold us, to prevent our roving tenderness, when we are struck by the waves of adversity. They must take them hold in the ground below, and keep us from drifting into danger. We must make our position safe. Now that the Negro ship has sighted the land, the land of opportunity, the land of achievement, the land of expression; now that we have seen with clear vision than we have ever had the opportunity to see before, it is time to begin to get on ranchors ready, so that when we cast them they may take firm hold of the ground below. With all the inspiration that is ours today; with all the determination that surges on on; with all the thirst for a fuller and freer expression of life in all its mornings, it is time to get our anchors out. Those anchors must hold, this race so that drifting will cease, so that we will cultivate steady habits, so that there will be no danger of striking obstacles during the dark periods of the night of life, so that we be safe when the storm is past. The anchors we need will be manhood, qualities that will not flinch in the hour of danger, that will not tremble in the presence of God himself; that will not turn aside from meeting any consequence, no matter what its import. Also this race must develop a vitality and a virility that shall be sufficient to take us uncathed through all the dangers of life. We also shall need financial strength, for this is one of the most essential anchors we shall have need of, situated as the world is today. The time may come when something other than gold and silver will be the medium of exchange, but until that time comes Negroes the wide world over, just like other men, will have imperative need for an abundance of money, for the providing the means of carrying out all the plans we formulate. We shall have need of money for investments in land. We must anchor ourselves on the land wherever on earth we may happen to be. Negroes must learn the lesson that the land is the surest basis of wealth; and then, having learnt the lesson, must set out to own as much of the land anywhere, as it is possible to own. When this great lesson is learnt we shall be a great way forward on the road to the successful carrying out of all our dreams. We must by legitimate means get money from every angle. We must educate ourselves in the various lines of business. We must educate our children, and our children's children in all the arts and avenues of the commercial world. We must begin at once to rear Negro business enterprises that will be a model for efficient and honest and sound business management. We must develop all the adroitiness and the foresight of the successful business man of the other races. We must profit by the failures and mistakes of others. We must know business from every angle. We must seek and find out all there is to know about all avenues of business and then reduce our findings and our knowledge to practical use, so that we may be able to secure the money anchor that, added to the other sheet anchors of a well rounded character, will be great safeguards against dangers and drifting in the battle for bread. We must rise now, today, and begin, small though our capital may be. Individually we may have but small resources, but collectively we can form a strong force in the business world that will command respect; and what is more, the money anchor of life, like the character anchors, has a way of increasing in size and in power till the owners are almost perfectly safe. That farmer or backyard gardeners is counted zillions and驳辱 who permits the weeds to overrun his fields and gardens to rob the crops and products of their nourishment. Even city folks, who buy their food from the markets, know that the cultivated crops and vegetables cannot compete with the devouring weeds and that the farmer and gardener are given the cultivated plants to fight their battle for them — California Eagle. The History of American Prosperity may correctly be called the History of Marketing. During the earlier years of the century the emphasis in the business world was on the production end. Now, the emphasis has passed to marketing. No matter how fine a product is, no one will buy it unless it is crammed down their throats with advertisements. Because of the great things that the hearts of the Negro Peoples of World are set upon accomplishing let us take these words into consideration, and carry them into actual reality, so that this race may be provided with such sheet anchors, that will be able to hold safe in the most terrific storm, and keep us from drifting on the mercy of the winds and waves of other men's whims and caprices. Fellow Negroes--DOES YOUR ANCHOR HOLD? Ada in magazines, on billboards, in newspapers, over the radio, in pamphlets and countless other ways, have made us scared to go to bed without brushing our teeth. Toothpaste manufacturers are more interested in selling toothpaste than making it. Palmolive soap has become a national necessity because the manufacturers hammered incessantly on a wide-eyed public that it was the best soap obtainable for the price and would even keep that schoolgirl compulsion.—The Enterprise, Washington. WHEN THE CRISIS COMES CERIOUS-MINDED men and women all over creation, weighing the powers new transpiring, must come to the conclusion that the Negro man is free to face, not only with a crisis, but with a series of crises. If there ever was a time in the history of the human race, when a race of men were called upon to be men, to toil the hardest, to show their true nature, involve an exhibition of the sternness of their souls, and to display the qualities that make for true manhood, qualities that make men understand the respect and admiration of the men of other nations, by training themselves in the annals of history, so that the men of the nation shall with pride, at their deeds of daring, and take the responsibilities that come to them is now. "To the soil!" should be a slogan for many of our group. Among other things that have kept the colored race from enjoying the many blessings of real freedom is their inability to realize the injustice which has been directing their minds in many ways. For hundreds of years, the Rare has been taught to look upon white as an emblem of purity and that all goodness must come from some white course. But young generation is thinking differently, and some of the older beginners as well—The Fountain Adventure. It was proved that Nobile as commander had allowed himself to be saved while his subordinates were left to die in their bed of ice. A commission appointed by Mussolini finds that Nobile was not true to the highest traditions, and he who went in search of fame returned in disgrace! Why? Because as leader he put his own safety before that of those he led. This is the crime of crimes! Leadership is dangerous! Nobile was disgraced because he escaped while others were in danger. Real leadership means to be the first in danger and the last to safety. Very few are willing to pay such price. Real leaders are scarce!—St. Luke's Herald. Garvey at the Helm By MRS. C. STEER I will sing you a song Of that great Afric land— That far-away home, not so far, Where the storm always beats, On the banks of the Nile, White Garvey holdeth the Helm in his hand. Our pearls, our gold, our diamonds, Have been robbed by alien races from far. But the time is now ripe. And we say this with pride. That Garvey holdeth the Helm in his hand. Oh, young man, of our race, Come and stand in your place, Let's hold up our great leader's hand. While strong minds of the race Ethnic history perme. Let others consider the plan. For soon we shall join in That red-blooded band. While Survey holdeth the Mohm in his hand. "Now, my dear," said Mrs. Jones, when the second-primary daughter brought home her grade card, "I am courteous not pleased with this mould. Daughter replied, "Well I told the teacher you wouldn't like it, but this wouldn't change it. "Women and daughters are always in the way," she told the man, giv- ing on the helium. "And you have more trouble to put yourself high, disturbed the girl at the world of the way in death. Nagroos Most Realistic To the Editor of the Negro World. Dear Sir: Will you allow me space in your wonderful journal, that I might be able to call the attention of some Negroes that are yet sleeping! Wake up, Negroes! for now is the acceptable time to awake out of sleep. For is' these many hundred years past Negroes were drooping in darkness, not realizing that we are a race, as well as any other race under the sun. Not having the first thought that we are to have a government, to protect us as a race, as other races have. But may I now say while we were in sin, Christ came and died that if we believe in Him and His doctrine, we shall be saved from our sin, and receive our salvation. Now, here comes the cry of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and A. C. L., constituted by the Hon. Marcus Garvey. It is a cry which Negroes the world over must hearen if they are to be saved. N is the cry of the swamped Negroes. Therefore, come on fellowmen. Let us rally to the call of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. For Africa must be redeemed and the race of Negroes must be emancinated. To the Editor of The Negro World: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to say to those Southern Democrats, who seem to be belly aching because Mrs. Hoover invited Ms. DePriest to tea, which was perfectly in order. Mrs. DePriest had the same right to be invited as any of the other Congressmen's wives. In those Southern Democrats and all other disgruntled would put in more time attacking themselves for associating with our negro women, in the darkness and behind closed doors, they would be more creditable to their group, and we would have a purer and healthier group. We are tired of them throwing their trash in our back yard. There was not a more healthy group than ours, before they tainted our blood with their disease. We are proud of our blood because it is the richest blood on earth. It only takes one drop to make us a negro, while it takes one hundred per cent to make any other group desired. SARAH L. DANIELS. Chicago, Illinois. Editor. The Negro World: Just permit me space in the column of your valuable paper to congratulate Prof. J. A. Rogers for his soul counseling articles of facts on genuine Negro history. My dear Prof. Rogers: To me you are one of the most useful Negroes of the present day. You have taken up an invaluable task—a task of teaching your race the real facts about its famous history. The medium through which all races is being guided upward and onward even to the path of glory. The Negro gets real benefit from such inspiring articles. They make him feel that he is a man as any other man and is of more use to the world and humanity than most men. These are the teachings the youth of the race should get instead of being victims of illegitimate literature. The results most beneficial to the Gods notwithstanding. I remain, Sir. Yours for racial consciousness. ALARIC T. WELSH. Cuba. Hon. Marcus Garvey, the First Exponent of the "New Diplomacy" While scanning the contents of the extremely interesting column submitted by our "Provisional Secretary of Foreign Affairs," Mr. Arden Bryan, the following extracts were especially impressive. In this day, of open diplomacy, it is no use to say one thing and mean another, and, after all, Marcus Garvey himself, is the first Apostolic of the new diplomatic gospel. It is about time we tell the whole white world that we are bitter, and blooming well dissatisfied, and that nothing short of a founding of a strong central Negro government in Africa will satisfy us. Decelt is not only wrong but it is contemptible. I hate it, and the beat minds of the Negro hate it. Such declarations merit the whole-hearted endorsement of the 400,000-000 black peoples of the world. They hit the mark. Truly, has our great leader blamed the trail for the new diplomacy of open discussions. He has stood unalterably for the Truth, which needs no sacriety. He has waged an attack upon hypocrisy. Hes, and camouflage, which has won the admiration and respect of his bitterest enemies. Not only has he brought light and understanding to his own race; but the whole world is today undergoing a rigid reformation of its social, industrial and political affair. When first he come upon the sons they and he was empty; or his success grew and his follower increased, they labeled him as a deuteromann or priest; then when such adduces failed of their purpose, they now rejoice to him as a "demoness person." Cowardly, that they—when he was made to enter possession at their expense, publicity was suspended; but they when his success happened the behalf of his friend obliterated, so mournfully, that he recovered him through the power that enabled merely liberation our devoutness of possession—didn’t. The prudence of the monarch is not beginning to affect himself, his children, by his devoutness. names which no living and in living names which no living and in living names or estimate the beginning thereof. Define it to say, that he was the first to compound the adjective and phrase of the nightly, and to group such parties in necessarily consider the "baiting of their wounds into plumbers." LONG LIVE MARCUS GARVEY! ARTHUR S. GRAY. Los Angeles, Calif. Allow me space in our noble journal, The Negro World, which is so uncompromisingly championing the cause of Universal Negro Emancipation and African Nationalism. I bag to commend our dews of journalism, R. T. Brown, on an article appearing a few weeks ago entitled "No Retreat," which is very impressive. I am conceived enough to feel that there isn't a Negro who read that article carefully, and did not feel somewhat more inspired towards Negro ennacipation, or did not make a stronger resolution to press forward and onward in this march towards Nationhood. I have been scanning through one of a series of articles now appearing in the "Interstate Tattler," dealing with Garveyism, which had this to say in one of its paragraphs: "Garvey opposes any movement which tries to bring about understanding between black and white people." Well, in my opinion what other understanding is needed when the white man has made it clear that the Negro is but an inferior being in his opinion; our educated, professional scientific and other men to the contrary notwithstanding? I. like Garvey, feel that all that is left for the Negro now is to either admit his inferiority or prove beyond a doubt that he is the equal of any man through the channels of "nationhood," and "industry." This is exactly what the U. N. L. A. is endeavoring to teach the four hundred million Negroes of the world at this time. In conclusion I beg to make it clear that this is a movement of 600 million Negroes, and not the "Garvey movement" that some folks are tempted to style it. Negroes everywhere had a spark of this identical spirit, but lack the "gutr" and genius to tackle it, "till Garvey came. Now that Garvey is here he built the castles in the air, laid the foundation under them, so it's now up to the 400 millions of us, as Negroes, to build for our children, and their posterity. Thanking you for space. Yours for the cause Afric. L. M. JACKSON. Carveyism Harveyism, the Religion Of New Negroes of this age. Has caused a great revision Of learning at this stage. It teaches that the African At home and all abroad. Are not divided, but are one According to God's word. It tells us that since God is white, He also can be black. And naught is wrong if our Sight Of seeing white is lack. The Fatherhood of God above. The Brotherhood of man. The Unity of all in Love Of races, creed and tan. It mocks at white supremacy. Their schemes and boasted power. Exposes their diplomacy And saves us at this hour. Far flung from all hypocrisy, It tells us plain and straight, We'll never rise from slavery If we forever wait. Strike out! it says, as others do; And form a government: Controlled and ruled by blackmen, too. With perfect management. Last, but not least, it bids us fight! Until we have obtained Lost Africa, and Freedom's Right For which we all have aimed. Wh I I As A Fol M Wh I Wh Service By Callie L. West I rather be dead than have it said I'd live and failed a living trust I'd rather be dead than to have it said I'd lived and failed my fellowman.

(F) I Drove O Trust R Strive TH Drive In relations within the constitution most so the name to the European Foreign Relations Department to the national Congress of Washington, New York that department, it must also have full editorial over all diplomatic and external relations Africa. Congress ought to create such a department. Such an office would undoubtedly enhance the work and dignity of the movement, and make good our destination of the existence of the Provisional Government of Africa. If, in spite of timely necessity, the above is evaded, then it will be plain to the world, that the entire leadership is unable, criminal, unfit, and ought to get out and give way to healer mortal. If Africa is to be redeemed, if that is our objective, then we must act in accordance with our high calling, and unavailably, lay the foundation for the redeemation of the entire black continent. Cost what it may, such a department must be created and maintained on a par with the great foreign effect of Europe and the world. Now, let Congress get to work and find ways and means for the establishment, and to keep alive, actively, such an essential department of government. After that, it would be wins, to serve notice upon the world that the convention formed limit into an all African Congress, and declare the existence of a provincial African government. Give Garvey a chance to put into practical effect the program and cause he has no nobly fought for. Elect him as President-General and Provisional President of Africa. Act in accordance with the dictates of your conscience. Don't censure with anyone to rob anybody out of office because of lines or clothes. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Remember! You must at all cost establish a Foreign Relations Department. It is highly imperative; that is, if in reality we mean to carry out our African program. Ten years hence you will be glad you did such a thing for it will prepare the way for the advent of the Black Napoleon, a Wellington, a Bismarck, and a Kemal Pasha. Better Negro World. In answer to your call for a better paper, please find enclosed check for $5.00. This should be the slogan of every Negro, everywhere: "Better, Better, Better everything." Whatever the Negro does he should strive to do it better than anyone else. This should be stressed in the columns of every paper that's published by the Negroas. It's easy to follow beaten paths. Let's give to the World and Civilization something new. Then the world will recognize us as men. If you will send me some subscription blanks, I will try to get some new subscribers.

Now if these will send in their photos along with those that were set at Liberty, the judge would certi- tely go back before the content was even. It would be very funny to see girl go hold. Wouldn't it? Barry girl, because the boys must have their turn before they go back to school. How about it boys? Remember we are new Negroes, and we have certainly got to prove it to the old ones. On the mark! Let's go back! These are some answers to the questions asked two weeks ago. They are not correct, but I am giving the answer a chance to show his talent. Ed. Kiddie Kerner. New Mim Editor: Let me try to answer the questions they asked two weeks ago. (1) Q—What is the longest word in the dictionary? A—Perseverance. Because it solves all problems. (2) Q—Who is the greatest man in the world? A.—I can take pleasure in saying that Marvin Carver is the greatest man in the world. My reason for saying this is because I have been taught of Napoleon booking for the rights of Prunus, Bimarack Ser Georgiy, Tulipi Ser Rusya, Gladstone of England, and many more as George Washington of Amherst; but in all history I have never been taught, or read of one who sought to seek the equal rights for an entire race. I was taught that there were only two means. (3) Q.—What do you think of Marvin Carver? 15,000Cheeris Re-elect Mar By Accla Leader Seems to Have Hold on People; For $600, KINGSTON, Jamaica, B. W. L., (By Stell Correspondent, Associated Negro Press).—That it will take more time deportation from the United States to break the hold of Marcus Garvey on the members and destiny of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was manifested here when 15,000 delegates from four corners of the earth attending the international convention of the organization re-elected Garvey as their president and leader. The convention, which is the sixth, is being held in Edelweis Park and is one of the most colorful events ever witnessed here. Men clad in uniforms and beepmimed headgear and women in the uniforms of the "Black Cross Nurse" mill about the park, the convention, and participate in massmoth parade. The differences of the two factions, mainly in New York City, found their way to the convention but were squashed by the diplomatic ruling of President Garvey, when he refused to appoint delegates to committees, whom he knew and termed "undesirables." This move on the part of the president evidently proved to the assemblage that if there were factions in America as far as the convention was concerned the body was a distinct and powerful unit. In his message to the assemblage President Garvey emphasized the urgent need of men and funds. Men to all diplomatic offices in the government of the black peoples of the (4) Q—Who does the neck? A—The look was stained by Queen Elizabeth in the sixteenth century. She was the first to begin to another the Negroes abroad. Your obedient servant. GEORGE T. W. WARD, Central Verantin, Providence, Camaguny, Rep. de Cuba. This letter was sent to me from Phila, Pa.—Editor, Kiddie Korner. Dear Editor: This is to let you know that your cheerful words in the Kiddies' Corner are appreciated and eagerly looked forward to every week. I am proud that you are blowing Liberty's horn, and I see no reason why you should stand alone. I also am a student of Liberty University, and admit we had a pretty tight term last year; but that did not discourage us in the least. We are returning with more pop and vim to fight the battle to a finish. Someone must pave the way. Parents think of your children; and young people think of your future destiny. Africa is surely going to be redeemed, and the young Negroes must play their part well. You must first of all be educated in the doctrine of the Honorable Marcus Garvey, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Liberty University is the training place for you. When our leader calls for young men and women will you be able to answer? Take a tip from me. Go to Liberty University this very year, and enjoy her cornbread, grits, gravy, peas and beans; and best of all, learn to fight for Negro Nationhood, and African Redemption. You're for the cause, GRACE ROGERS, Philadelphia. Spring Delegates Garcus Garvey Allamation Save Lost None of His ies; Outlines Need 100,000,000 world, men to carry on the administration work of the organization and for propaganda operation. The funds were necessary to prosecute the ambitious program formulated by the organization, and to promote the new Black Star Line. In his plea for the Black Star Line, the president said: "I am making a special plea for the support of the new Black Star Line. Our shipping program for 1929-1930 is an elaborate one, but we can only carry it out when the individual members of the race support it. If we must relieve the industrial stagnation of the Negro, you must supply us with the funds necessary to launch out into big industries through which we will employ the millions who are now thrown out of employment. "There is a great future in store for the Negro race of ours, but the future depends upon the action of the present. Let us pool our resources in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let us for 1929-1930 subscribe at least 200 million dollars to help this organization put over its colossal program for the emancipation for our race, and the liberation of Africa." Rightly Directed Propaganda In our issue of Aug. 3rd, an article appeared in our columns, under the above caption. By accident in the make-up, we failed to give credit to the author, Mr. Alaric Walsh. We hereby make the correction. We trust Mr. Walsh will pardon the omission.—Editor. Jesus' invitation to follow Him means infinitely more than learning about Him and trying to live as He lived—it means real fellowship with Him, a talking and communicating with Him each day. The plea of ignorance will never take away our responsibilities.—Ramkin. R ON EARTH —for real luck—it has been said carries a headstone. sure a Chinese back andence Power h ous promise money. —this everything to them, so says the best—sure to a man. two of America and of continental Europe; it will be true whatever the great white race lives. There will not be room enough for them and for others who seek with them to compete, and that is why we hear the cry of Egypt for the Egyptian, India for the Indian, Asia for the Asian, and we rejoice the cry of Africa for the African; those at home and those abroad. That is why we ask England to be fair, to be just and considerate; that is why we ask France and Italy, Spain and Belgium to be fair, just and considerate; that is why we ask them to let the black man restore himself to his own country; and that is why we are determined to see it done. No omnivore and no promise of good will will solve the problem. What guarantees have we, what lessons have we on the future that the man who treats us kindly today will perpetuate it through his son or his grandson tomorrow? Races and peoples are only safeguarded when they are strong enough to protect themselves, and that is why we appeal to the four Hundred million Negroes of the world to come together for self-protection and self-preservation. We do not want what belongs to the great white race, or the yellow race. We want only those things that belong to the black race. Africa is ours. To win Africa we will give up America, we will give up our claim in all other parts of the word; but we must have Africa. We will give up the white desire of having a seat in the White House in America, of having a seat in the House of Lords in England, of being President of France, for the chance and opportunity of filling these positions in a country of our own. That is how the Universal Negro Improvement Association differs from other organizations. Other organizations, especially in America, are fighting for a political equality which they will never get, and never win, in the face of a majority opposition. We win so much today and lose so much tomorrow. We will lose our political strength in the North in another few years, as we lost it in the South during reconstruction. We fill one position today, but lose two tomorrow, and so we will drift on and until we have been completely obliterated from western civilization. The battle of life never ceases. There is no true. Streams of men are constantly going forward. Some get over the top, others return broken and bent. This peace-time battle is centered in the industrial and commercial fields. Men must eat, drink, and have the necessities to sustain life. Some men spend sleepy nights working out their problems, others drift through life hoping that the God of Luck will favor them. Harlem, a city within a city, with its 200,000 population, is a great place. Young, and impulsive, it is gradually finding itself. This Marium is teaming with gold vein, for real prospectors. Millions of dollars are being made. Daniel Reeves, Butler Grocery Co., furniture company, theatre, drug stores, insurance companies and thousands of white individual stores operate there. The negro must begin to live the age. Steel, bricks, copper, groceries, clothing, sugar, etc., must have a new meaning to him. placing our plea before that throne of God, as ing film to so touch the hearts of our fellow men as to let them yield to us the things that are ours, as it was right to yield to Caesar the things that, were Caesar's. As we deliberate on the many problems confronting us during the month of August, let us not lose control of ourselves; let us not forget that we are the guardians of four hundred millions; let us not forget that it is our duty to no act and legislate as to help humanity everywhere, whether it be black or white. We shall be called upon during this month to take up certain matters that are grave, but dispensately we shall discuss them; and whenever the interest of the different race groups clash, let it be our duty to take the other fellow's feelings into our consideration. If we must be justly treated, then we ourselves must treat all men similarly. So, let no prejudice cause us to say or do anything against the interest of the white man, or the yellow man; let us realise that the white man has the right to live, the yellow man has the right to live, and all that we desire to do is to impress them with the fact that we also have the right to live. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be. Your obedient servant, (Signed) MARCUS GARVEY. President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association.
