Knox Exposed by Ephraim President of Chicago Div. In Startling Revelation
President-General Cabled Back Chicago Conference Was Unauthorized
Robert L. Ephraim, the popular President of the Chicago Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of August 1929 of the World and a staunch supporter of Hon. Marcus Garvey, arrived in New York last week from Chicago with the express purpose of exposing the self-seeking activities of Mr. E. B. Knox, who has got himself in trouble by seeking to control the U. N. I. A. through high-handed methods, trickery, and false statements.
Mr. Ephraim is a personal friend of Mr. Knox, but when it comes to tampering with the good work of the U. N. I. A. or with loyalty to Hon. Marcus Garvey he rises above personal ties.

Set Fire to Japanese Consulates and Schools
TOKIO, May 31.—A band of Corean communities swept down on the Chileno district of Nirn Province, Manchuria, early today, said a Rengo News Agency dispatch from Sebul. Corean, bombing and burying Japanese consulates and buildings and schools of the Corean Association. The raids were directed against centers of Japanese influence in Yenki, Lung Ching-Tsun and other towns of the Chileno district. The Chinese military and Japanese police united to drive out the invading bands, composed of Coreans hostile to the Japanese regime in Corea. One Japanese consular policeman was wounded in the exchange of rifle fire. All of the invaders were believed to have escaped. No arrests were reported.

Indian Revolt Is Spreading Like Wild Fire
Afridis Strike at Govt.—Moslems Join Revolt—Situation Tense
PESHAWAR, June 5.—A battle between a force of Afridis (Afghan tribesmen) numbering between 7,000 and 14,000 and a composite brigade of British and Indian troops of all arms with fought on Kajuri Plain outside Peshawar today. The latest intelligence is that the tribesmen are on the run everywhere, scattering in small groups and making difficult the task of rounding them up and finally throwing them back across the border.
There has been firing from both sides, but thus far there is no indication of casualties. It is definitely stated that no British officers or men are wounded.

Mawes, Democrat, of Missouri, and Bronze Cutting, Republican, of New Mexico, to provide complete independence of the Philippine Islands in five years.
The bill is emphatically disapposed by the opponents of immediate independence. It is felt that it does not allow adequate time for the Filipinos to become prepared politically or economically for self-government. A minority report against the bill will be made by Senator Hiram Bingham, Republican, of Connecticut, chairman of the Territories-Committee, and signed by several Senators.
It is expected the Senate will pass the bill, but that the House will block it. Whether it will be voted on this session is uncertain. It is opposed by (Continued on Page Eight)
France and Italy
PARIS, June 4. — Prepier Benito Mussolini's recent address at Florence, in which he declared that machines guns were more beautiful than words, has definitely served negotiations between France and Italy relative to its post-London naval agreement, so far as the French are concerned, until much time as the Italian government shows itself in a friendly mood toward France. This was hinted tonight from a high French authority.
Imperialists Now Afraid of India for National Consciousness, Built Up Through Untold Sacrifices, Demands World Recognition
No Great Emancipation Like That of Our Race and Africa Could Be Achieved Overnight
We Must Be Ready to Suffer Trials, Tribulations, Even Slander—Negro Leaders. Balk at Suffering, Hence We Suffer Most—We Expect Victory Without Fight, Hence We Are Most Easily Disappointed
FELLOWMEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting:
The eyes of the civilized world are turned towards the East, viewing with admiration and alarm the happenings in India, where Mahatma Gandhi is moving his people to the stage of racial and national consciousness in a method all his own.
Gandhi's Passive Methods
The Indians, like the Negroes, have suffered long and are now hoping to come into the realization of their own physical freedom and national emancipation. Gandhi's work is not of today, but has been going on for some time. Sometimes one would think that
Colored Problem Unusually Great In Phila., Race Sculptor Told
he has failed, because, at broken periods everything seemed sleeping and quiet in India, but the master leader that he is, the strength of his method is only now being made manifest in that out of his passive actions of the past has developed a militant consciousness that now makes the world almost afraid.
The Negro's Method
It is the patience of Gandhi and the Indians that we admire. Although their agitation may be long, they have never wholly given up the idea behind their minds. This is the attitude of all, self-conscious people. They never become discouraged while aiming at a noble object. It is only the Negro who gives up easily, who becomes dependent overnight.
The Way of Success
We too are engaged in a battle for physical freedom, and national organization, but have we the courage of the Indians? Have we the patience of the Indians? We have not because, when we compare our activities of today, with the activities of the past, we find that hundreds of thousands who yearn are pledged themselves to the Cause of Negro Emancipation have now forgotten all about it, believing that African could be redeemed in a day and a race commemorate overnight. The Cause of human emancipation must be fought with trials and tribulations, must be fought with difficulties, and these are the things that the Negro is not prepared for. He expects to get it easily, hence, his disappointment. He must make up his mind to suffer, he must make up his mind to ascribe himself, he must make up his mind to die in an other people have suffered and died. Not until the Negro's mind is made up in this direction will he amount to anything, in achieving the things he professes to do.
Ireland has given the Negro a wonderful example of what continuous application to arid iden means, for seven hundred years they have struggled to reach their present political condition; and the Indians have been struggling also for a long time and only now it seems possible that they will realize the things aimed at. The Negro should take these as an example, and realize that it is only when he acquires patience that he will amount to something.
The Support of All
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is inspiring the Negroes throughout the world to this fending of patience and courage. We must not lose heart in doing good for ourselves, because none will do that good for us. We are now laying a foundation upon which we are now going to build a permanent and staple structure for National freedom and racial emancipation. We are asking
Because "the colored problem seems to be unusually great in Philadelphia," the Art Alliance of that city, which blossomly gives a public exhibition of art works in hutchinson Square, has shipped back to Antonio Solomon, one of New York's most highly regarded young sculptors, his huge bronze figure of Paul Robeson, Margo actor and singer, who according to London exhibits, has achieved an unprecedented success in England in "Othalia."

Please Your Support
The program of the last Convention of 1929 has mapped out the plan by which we are to work. Big things can be gone but it means that everyone one must give his or her support. Money is needed to finance the program, moral cooperation is needed to see that it is put over and all must be given willingly. In the effort to raise Six Hundred Million Dollars in ten years to capitalize the Organization, it is hoped that Every Negro will pledge something towards this amount. There are some Negroes in the world who can afford to pledge Ten Thousand Dollars in ten years, some seven thousand dollars in ten years, some five thousand dollars, some three thousand dollars, some two hundred and fifty dollars, some one hundred and fifty dollars, and some fifty dollars in ten years. If every Negro pledges a similar amount and pays it in regularly, in ten years there will be enough money to put over every detail of the big program launched at the 1929 Convention.

Knox Held On Higher Bail of $1500 for Assault and $500 For Illegal Possession of Gun
His Lawyer Again' Tries Unsuccessfully to Defame The Character of Garvey
Court Dismisses Knox's Charge Against Saltus
On Wednesday, June 4th, the court dismissed without hearing E. B. Knox's charge of "disorderly conduct" against Harold G. Saltus, the business mahager of The Negro World.
Mr. Saltus was served with a summons on May 31st, last, by Mr. Knox. The charge was simply a bolstered one, inasmuch as the only "disorderly conduct" was refusal to take orders from Mr. Knox, in strict obedience to instructions from Hon. Marcus Garvey.
This case was taken up immediately after Mr. Knox was held for the Grand Jury, and the court dismissed the charge without hearing.
Scramble for Africa Starts Fresh Rivalry Greed Forcing France Italy and Spain to Armed Vigil
PARIS, June 4. Butter rivalry is foreseen in the tense situation now presenting itself between France and Italy. It seems that Muscolini is stepping into the shoes of the former Kaiser.
Racing for supremacy in the exploitation of the black continent, France and Italy are plunging from Saharan railways, thrusting steel lines across the desert and penetrating deeply into the untold wealth of equatorial Africa.
The Paris and Rome governments seek to drain the products of this vast area to the Mediterranean through their respective territories, realizing that the economic and commercial elements involved inevitably will reflect on their political prestige and add immense military values and resources.
Following President Doumerque, visit to Algeria, pressure for the immediate construction of a French Saharan railway has redoubled. Parliamentary committees have already investigated the proposition and have proposed three schemes, after four
Upholds Lower Courts Which In
WASHINGTON:—The Richmond, Va., residential segregation ordinance, intended to prevent Negroes from occupying homes in white neighborhoods, received its death thrust when the U. S. Supreme Court upheld the lower Federal court's decision invalidating that measure, Monday.
There was no written opinion. The Supreme Court simply predicated its decision upon prior decisions in the Louisville and New Orleans residential segregation cases, in which it was held that a city ordinance which forbids colored persons to occupy houses in blocks where the greater number of houses are occupied by white persons is unconstitutional.
The ordinance, which was held unconstitutional last year by District Judge G. Lawrence Groner in Richmond, was an entirely new 'type of segregation law, in that it based its authority upon the Virginia State re- (Continued on Page 829)

E. B. Knox, who, on Saturday, May 24th last, broke into the headquarters of the Garvey Club, Inc., at 355 Lenox Avenue, New York City, and tried to rifle the records, and subscribers' list of the Negro World, was tried on June 4th in the Fifth District Magistrates Court before Justice McQuaid. After full hearing Mr. Knox was held for the Grand Jury on the assault charge and for the Special Sessions on the charge of possessing a gun without a license.
Walves Bearing on Gun Charges
Mr. Knox pleaded not guilty on the assault charge preferred against him by Marcellus. Strong, the local circulation manager of the Negro World, who successfully foiled Mr. Knox's attempt to steal the records of his paper at the risk of his life. But when the police officer exhibited on the witness stand to the magistrate a 45-calibre gun Mr. Knox's attorney quickly waived hearing on the gun charge.
Mr. Strong recited just what happened on May 24th, last. He came back to the Negro World office with his truck at about 1:00 o'clock and saw Miss Chadys Parker through the window. As soon as she saw Mr. Strong she ducked under a table to hide.
Lock Had Been Changed
When Mr. Strong tried to open the door he found that the lock had been changed. He asked a friend of him to keep an eye on the front door and rushed to the back yard to try to get in through the window which was also locked. He rushed back to the front door.

New York, Liberty Hall, Sunday night, June 8th, 1930. All roads lead to Liberty Hall when the friends and members of the Harvey Club, Inc., thronged the Hall, and took up positions as they came from far and near; eager to get a hearing first hand of the recent happenings in the Island of Jamaica and Headquarters of the U. N. I. A. August 1929, of the World, from the lips of the Hon. Grover C. Ford, who had just returned after nine months of work as High Chancellor.
After the ritualistic performances by Chaplain Green, the vice-president Hon W. L. Elvers presided as chairman of the evening. A selection by the band preceded a beautiful anthem by the choir, under the directorship of Mme. M. Dume. We were also given a beautiful soprano solo by Mme. Panay Garner.
Reading of the President-General's message and singing of his hymn was next in order. A beautiful demonstration given by the Military department under Col. J. N. Robinson was very interesting and inspiring. The notice were then read and the speakers of the evening were presented as follows.

ever, that we do not swallow the false doctrines that are brought to us from these so-called leaders that array themselves with flowery speeches, with a heart full of self-aggrandisement and greed. No money, no organized forces of men can free you or win the ultimate goal of an African Redemption. Today the Jews in these United States have millions and millions of dollars intrenched and interwoven in this white civilization. The Jews are trying to get freedom and establish themselves in Palestine. The Hindu has more millions than any other people. If it takes money for freedom they would not have to be getting killed in the effort of freeing themselves. The U. N. I. A. is an established society, government in embryo. We have a Headquarters and any one keeping in touch with the Headquarters and Garvey should not go wrong if they follow the dictates of their leader and superior officer. We are experiencing another traitor in the rank and file of our organization today, but I am not surprised. Groovs must come and crooks must go, for the success of this work is bound to be achieved. I bring you greetings from the Garvey Club of Chicago of the state of Illinois. They are proud to know that you are here to hold up the colors of the Red, Black and Green, and letting the enemies from among our rank, fall backwards. I have had my experience with men who would try to prevent the reading of the President-General's message being read to the people, because at the time one of the former executive members was being exposed by our leader, for his disloyalty to the organization and his trust.
Prince Rigish M. Putnap
Mr. Chauhanman, and Friends
I shall give you just a telephone line citing to the gloreness of the hour.
Among many of the great men that I have met are, Kaiser Wilhelm, Mussolini, and Marcel Garvey who was very kind to me. I am a hearty supporter with you in your cause—freedom of humanity. I have great wishes and thought for Marcus Garvey, and would arouse you to the sense of duty that you may continue to follow in his footsteps. The situation in India is undoubtedly grave. Freedom is wanted by humanity everywhere, the world over. The stream of life has flowed from all sides of the human race from Germany, China, Japan, and India. I give you an idea that we should all down quietly and think out so as to prevent the miscroses destroying the threads of life that surrounds us. They must be gotten rid off, and systems worked out for a world federation. Condition in India demands it, and India should be very active. I hope that myself will yet be able to help evolve such plans among the nations, groups and governments of the world, for the safe-guarding of all peoples.
Hon. Grover C. Ford. High Chancellor
Mr. Chairman, President, Officers, members and Friends. I want to assure you that it is the greatest pleasure to be with you and bring a message from the Hon. Marcus Garvey, our Chieffitn. He sends greetings to the members and friends of New York City, and asks that you give every support as host you can while I am here in America. My mission is large. There is much to be done, since a great deal of ground must be covered. I must keep moving. After leaving you, I must proceed to Philadelphia, then to Baltimore where I am now wanted in the interest of the association. My life has been threatened, but I have been commissioned by the Chief to carry out his commands, and dictates of his, and if I can be instrumental in spreading the gospel of "righteousness and truth for a people" I shall do it, and hope to do it well. This race that I am a part of since we came from Africa has been drinking in this western hemisphere such polluted water and breathing such impure air, that now it seems hard for us as a people to do all but the right thing, in behalf of each other. If we go to the universities and colleges and get the best atted minds and brains, we find in the flag rush, that we have nothing but fascials and thieves. They may be filled with titles which they may have well deserved but "are-they any good to the race?" Can we find any among them all that is worthy of our trust? There have been those among the leaders that have been traveling to and fro, collecting funds for months
CAPE TOWN (Union of South Africa) May 22 - The South African Assembly today passed a motion affirming South Africa's right to secede from the British Empire if it so desires.
The vote was taken following a speech by Premier Hertzog, who replied to a speech made by Gen. Smuts Tuesday, when the latter declared it would be impossible for South Africa to secede from the British commonwealth without full consent of all other dominions and the British Parliament.
In this country, and have not made any kind of report, to Headquarters using the President-General's name and the Organization as a Cashier's clique for selfish aim and self-aggrandizement. Our Chiefstaff is calling for men that will not lie. He is calling for men that will not sell his race for a mess of pottage. He is calling for men that have a conscience, men that, have a heart, men that will blaze the way for Africa's redemption and the ultimate success of our oppressed race. I hope the time will come when we shall deal with such men, just as other races have done to rid their race of the traitors and disloyal men. The continuous plotting of men in this race should be stopped. They take advantage of the situation because they happen to be a part of the race and of the movement. We who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association have decided that we shall go forward, upward and onward toward the great goal of human liberty. We have determined ourselves that all barriers placed in the way of our progress must be removed, must be cleared away for the benefit of our generation and our children's children. As one of you, and one with you, I shall discharge my duties as laid down by our Chiefstaff to the best of my ability. Give your moral, financial support as you have done in the past; for the times and the work demand that we do so. In all the cases that have come against us we have won, out. It is with that bull-dog tenacity and will power of determination that our leader goes forth knowing that "what man has done, man can do."
The meeting was then brought to a close by the chaplain Rev. C. P. Green at 12 P. M. The band played the "Star Spangled Banner" and the "Ethiopian National Anthem." The radiant faces that left the building showed traces of satisfaction, happiness, and inspiration that had been gathered at said meeting. All are welcome. Come again. Moving pictures on Tuesday evening. Lots of excitement for you. Do not miss them.

12,000 Live in Alleys
Approximately 12,000 people of this city, three-fourths of whom are Negroes, live in 250 schools in which not 200 alleyways it is alleged from a recent survey made by John Fidler, consultant expert of the National Capitol Planning Beauty Commission. Some of these small communities are without sewers, water or street lights, the report states. Efforts made by the District government and Congress to graduate unsanitary living conditions which prevail in them were described by Fidler as "unmistakable." The reason for the failure is to a large extent because most of them are hidden communities, harboring criminals and disguise. One of the problems the report deals with is that of finding substitute houses for the tenants. Because the city at present has a slight surplus of houses this is not considered a serious difficulty.
The commission finds that it cannot beautify Washington and allow these more spots dotting the main section of the city. And since the alley and courts stand in the onward march of city planning and beautification, the alley must go.
Finds Traces of Hittites
ISTANBUL, June 11—Traces of a Hittite temple, as indicated by a large doorway carving and numerous walls were uncovered last week by the University of Chichigua. Hittite expedition at Ghisavu Kale, forty miles from Angora.
President Kenal of Turkey made a special motor trip there yesterday, returning late last night much impressed. According to local newspapers, the expedition has made no announcement regarding the importance of the finds.
Turko-Greek Pact Near
ISTANBUL, June 1—Angola dispatches say the proposed Turco-Greek treaty is once more nearing the point of being signed. The Greek Ambassador is reported to be awaiting final instructions from Athens.
Last February negotiations for this pact, which would end 100 years of armed enemy between the two nations, were thought practically completed, but disagreement arose over questions dealing with the property of exchanged populations.

Warns Arms Exports To China Need Permit
WASHINGTON, June 2—The State Department notified exporters today that the exportation of arms from the United States to China was all governed by the Presidential proclamation of March 4, 1982. The notice, in the form of a caution, was explained as due to misunderstandings that have arisen, although there has been no known cause of illegal shipment of war materials to China. Under the joint resolution it is unlawful to export to China, "except under such limitations and exceptions as the President prescribes, any arms or munitions of war from any place in the United States" until otherwise ordered by the President or by Congress.
The Secretary of State, who is authorized to prescribe the limitations and exceptions to the application of the resolution, has announced that exportation of arms and munitions of war for the use of the Chinese Government will be permitted when an application for license to export has been submitted by the firm in the United States which desires to make shipments and when the Chinese Legation at Washington has informed the Department of State that it is the desire of the Chinese Government that the shipment be authorized.

Gailhard read the front page of The Negro World. "O. Africa Awaken" was sung by the members. The principal speaker of the day was Mr. J. J. A. Bottram, President of Savannah, Georgia, Division.

New Charter Unveiled Midst Solemn and Inspiring Service
On Sunday, April 27, at 3 o'clock, the juveniles of Division No. 291, Indianapolis, Ind., under the direction of our first lady vice-president, rendered a splendid program in Liberty, Hall. The children exhibited much training in the condition of their various numbers, and as the older members listened, they expressed their confidence that the future members of this division would not let the Red, Black and Green trail in the dust.
Our president, Mr. Thomas King, gave a forceful address using as his Shelter in Time of Storm. He convinced the group to the Universal Negro Improvement Association a "Rock in the weary sand," and a shelter from the storms of oppression to protect the oppressed members of our group who will harken to the pleadings of our leader, the Hon. Marcus Carvey.
Brief and inspiring remarks were made by first vice president, Mr. Laffayette Buchanan and second vice president, Mr. John Baker. After the collection was taken up, the Ethiopian National-Anthem was sung, bringing the meeting to a close.
Atts'd clock a large number assembled for the unveiling of the charter. The choir filed in between double ranks of the Legions under the Stars and Stripes for the Black and Green, followed by the office guests. The ritualistic exercises were conducted by Mr. John Baker, after which "America" was sung by the choir and audience.
A brief talk was by our president, M. T. Kingman, to the solemnity of the service, at the end of which a short covenant service was opened. Pitch officer and member was asked to give an expression briefly in testimony. It was easily solitary to have been predealt and to have heard those strong testimonies given by old and young and the reverence in which the very name of our dunny spider, the Hon. Marcos Garvey was held. They pledged to work harder than ever under our new charter of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, August 1089 of the World. After a selection, "Count on Me," exhibition I. E. Guin was introduced and in a most eloquent manner delivered an address charging officers and members with the sacredness of the rites that were performed.
After the address and the unveiling of the new charter, which made our Division No. 117, the president, Mr. King, vice-president, Mr. L. Buchanan and captain of the Legion, Mr. Thomas Johnson, held the new charter which was, partly encamped in plaid with cloth within the chief song, "Gwaind Christian Solderry," after which the choosing was led by Clyde Thomas. The inscription upon the new document was read by our secretary, Mrs. Eleanor Bacchian.
After the offering and the singing of the Philippine National Anthem, all joined hands and formed a huge circle and sang, "Blest Be the Tie That Bindle." Everyone left the hall feeling greatly benefited.

The Ela Division No. 7M, unoccupied with great pleasure the recounting of their Liberty Hall, and that the officers and numbers are working with a more wide and courageous spirit, in order to put the public program over.
On Sunday, April 25th, we celebrated our first meeting. In spite of the rainy weather the opción hall was well crowded. At 7:30 o'clock PM, the chapman, Mr. C. Reid, called the meeting to order with a procession of officers led by Light, C. V. Robinson of the Legionary department. Following this was the singing of the opening ode "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," and the repeating of the 23rd Psalm. Hymn No. 192 was ring next.
After the spiritual part came to z close and the literary part turned over to the Acting President, Mr. J. A. Titus, the officers were re-worn under their cath. The general Secretary was asked to read the document sent by the Governor, giving permission to function again. This having been done, the audience sang the President-Genial's hymn. A purse was collected for Mr. Arthur White of Camaguey who rendered voluntary service towards our success of func-tion at the University of Loyola Lady President, read the Pres-Genial's weekly message. A well rendered song by the choir, was next to be heard. Little Miss-Dolores Thompson gave a splendid recitation. Mr. C. B. McNeil, chairman of the trustees board, made a brief address, and a solo by Miss E. Knight was well applauded. A letter of departures from Mr. C. Reid was read, also one from Mr. A. N. Cline, az-treasurer. Mr. Reid bade adieu to the audience, he was leaving for his native land and Jamaica, on the following day. We did him bon voyage. We had a recitation from Master Wes Williams. Solos were rendered Mrs. S. Lee and Mrs. J. A. Brewer. After the ammoniacous overnage the Ethiopian Armenian king and the meeting began.
There was democracy at the Dpor of Death, but there is DEATH in a white household in the United States. We wonder how it would be with the Negroes if they had Black Star Mothers, instead of Gold Star Mothers.
THE GRAVE SITUATION IN INDIA
THINGS are moving in India with unbelievable rapidity, and yet the outside world is being kept in the dark as to the magnificence of the nation-wide revolution that is now going on in that historic country. Great Britain has imposed an iron-clad military censorship on all news that is getting out of India, not so much as to prevent the world from knowing that there is a revolution marching triumphantly, but to prevent if from knowing the extent of the military barbarism of the British soldiery.
Still there are those natives of Great Britain who condone; even approve of their representatives' atrocities in a land that does not belong to them. But the spirit of cruelty that they so smugly let loose in India will certainly recoil on their heads just as it did after the late World War all over Europe. Mr. MacDonald, an ex-pacifist, an ex-humanitarian, an ex-believer in liberty of speech and press, gave a taste of what is happening in India to the London press by subjecting a parliamentary correspondent of a London daily to third degree methods for disclosing MacDonald's orders to arrest Mahatna Gandhi.
But it seems that the course of Indian Revolution is charted, and it is marching irrevocably to success, brushing aside all impediments, external or internal. All forces seemingly antagonistic are converging. Verily India is a land of contradictions.
The Merchants, Moslems, Silkhs, Parses and Indian Christians are now in the camp of the Revolution. The British government trifically denies that there is even rebellion in the country. That is self-deception. The government is citing the allegiance of a few land-owners who are in danger of losing their lands because they acquired them through the grace of the British official clique and policy. But they shall not stand in the way of the people.
Even the princes of India, those "pampered swines" of the British, are changing their viewpoint. Well, now we have an inkling into how things are standing in India.

VOL. XXVII. NEW YORK, JUNE 14, 1930 No. 20
GARVEYISM AND THE NEGRO
WHERE does the Negro stand in the world of thought, action, leadership and achievement of today? To attempt an answer is futile.
The Negro's thought; action, leadership and achievement do not amount to anything today, for he is self-centred, selfish, pleasure-seeking and too near-sighted.
The Negro's thoughts are ever in danger of a short circuit. More often they are reflections of the white folks' thoughts, having sound, but no substance.
The Negro's actions are childish. At most they are emotional outbursts, not a logical and aforethought execution.
The Negro's leadership is petty and parochial. It is afraid of the winds of the world, afraid to get chills.
And the achievements of the Negro with a background of such thought, action and leadership are what they should be—actually nothing!
But—all is not despair in the life of the Negro race. Every dark cloud has a silver lining!
The cultryator is one; the cater are many.
In the midst of what looks like a hopeless situation there is one dynamic force in the life of the Negro race and that is GARVEYISM.
He that goes from one house to another must not be a busy-body. The unsettled man eats fish.
Why Is Garveyism a dynamic force? Why is it a redeeming force?
Why Is Garveyism a dynamic force? Why is it a rewarding force?
For Garveyism is based on original and correct thought, its action arises out of a well-thought-out program, its leadership is nourished and inspired from an international outlook. And as soon as traitors and backsliders are eliminated from within, Garveyism is going to bring forth a rich harvest of achievement.
The needy man feels no shame. A rich may be a fool to choose a profession, but he must be my idiot to give it up. God has created no man evil. God gives him that sleeps and him that site still.
Garveyism is to the Negro race what Sun Yat Senjism is to China, what Zagabeulism is to Egypt, what Kenalism is to Turkey, what Gandhiism is to India. As long as one Negro believes in Garveyism there will ever be hope for the Negro race.
The knower of secrets is He Himself.
When a Sasabansam (devil) goes to attend a funeral, he lodges at a witch's house.
Local politicians fail to understand Carveyism, for they are looking forward to a few petty jobs for themselves and for a few "pretty" girls. If the politician is big enough he may even get his neighbors front yard cleaned up or even a new post office erected. But these little fellows do not know what it is to fight for the freedom of a great race like the Negro race, for the liberation of a great continent, like the continent of our beloved Africa.
Among royalty, no one is a child.
If you call your master a trifling thing, it will rejoice hold of you.
All destinies are not alike.
In truth there is no deceit.
The white man who lives in the
Here's where Garveyism transcends all petty politics. Its concern is not with street-cleaning, nor with securing a post office. Garveyism is concerned with regaining the FREEDOM for the Negro and establishing an INDEPENDENT GOVERNMENT in Africa. Garveyism works through intuitism through inspired courage, through sacrifice and suffering.
STRANGE JUSTICE
Below we give a more interesting case, but the popping part of the case is neglected by the difference in sentences.
Garveyism is unafraid, lustful and persevering. Failure? Garveyism does not know what it is. Success? It is sure to achieve.
If petty men fail to understand what Garveyism stands for, what its mission is, it their own fault, not that of Garveyism.
Here in the chap.
For having had intercourse with
in native girl, Jacobus Frederick von
the Herr, (18), was enraged to two
months' imprisonment with 'nure' labor
by prison, F. S. Magistrate. The
native girl concerned had been sentenced to three months' imprisonment.
The Negro race can be liberated, Africa can be redeemed, not by local politicians but by Garveyism and Gurveyism alone.
GOLD STAR AND BLACK STAR
The late European war will fought to make the world safe for "democracy." And today we have to fight to make "democracy" safe for the world.
She gave evidence for the prosecution. She said the man accused on the road. He stopped and spoke to her. He got off his horse and asked her to take a letter to a European. She went up to him. He caught her around the wrist and asked four times to commit the crime. She apologized but eventually, contented because the accused said he would kill her.
Was there not irony in the appeal to the Negro youth when the United States entered the World War to fight for the "fights" of the oppressed in Bologna, France and Pattern Europe? Did they not lack a sense of humor, both the Negro that was appealed to and the white carpenter-bagger that made the appeal?
What business had the whites to appeal to the Negro to fight in order to make the world safe for "democracy"? And what business had the Negro to pay heed to such an appeal? For was he not a pariah in the American democracy? Was not his cup of bitterness and humiliation already full?
Mr. D. C. Kayi, for the defense, pleaded for a suspended sentence, but the Magistrate (Sir Dwayne F. Turner) said that the law did not allow this for the option of a fine.
It is beyond our understanding why this young white brute was not charged with rage and hanged right out. There is no doubt that had a native of 10 years, old committed such a crime there would have been quite a different sentence. If the native was not sentenced to death, he would have received a substantial sentence, including hush.
We are not prescribing disloyalty, but we are stating the American realities. We need not point to annual crops of lynchings, rapes of Negro womanhood, economic mistreatment, spiritual degradation. They have been ever with us in the United States. They do not show any signs of subsiding. Statistics of lynching seem to drive the white mobs to a wilder and more savage furry. Indignant and bitter as we are, even we are asheamed to tabulate all the lynchings that have been perpetrated in the South during the last few months.
It is this kind of unequal justice that upsetts the native mind, and that will in the long run lead to serious and uncontrollable consequence. It is a down right shame to sentence a girl to three months who has actually been threatened with death and then raped, and to sentence her assailant to only two months.
Coming back to the war, the Negro went to France to fight whether he had any business or not. And he fought bravely, side by side with the whites. And there was no segregation, no Jim-Crowism!
The Negro rescued, snatched from the jaws of death many a white comrade. And those white soldiers did not even whisper: "Stay your hand. Do not save me. You may defile me. For you are a NIGGER!" In the Hall of Death that Europe was during the late war, there was no segregation, no Jim-Crowism!
The attention of the Minister of Justice, as well as the Minister for Native Affairs should be drawn to such ridiculous sentences, and the official responsible should be compelled clearly to state his-reasons for such unequal justice. Even, had this hideous crime been committed with the girl's consent, the sentence would still have been absurd.
When the brave Negroes and the brave whites were mowed down by the enemy's fire there was no discrimination, no segregation. The dripping blood of a Negro and of a white mingled together without protest on the battlefield and curdled and cooled together. And there was no segregation, no Jim-Crowism! But twelve years after the war to make the world safe for "democracy", is over, the mothers of those that DIED TOGETHER are going on a pilgrimage to put a loving flower on the graves of their ever beloved sons that lie in a distant land! And in the name of those dead the white mothers demand segregation, Jim-Crowism!
About a year ago a white member of the Transvaal Provincial Council was sentenced to three months' hard labor for being found under a native girl's bed in Pretoria. He appealed, but the sentence was confirmed by the Appeal Court.
And the government of the United States, all its executive branches, including the President, have acquiesced in that act of shame which is worse than the worst lynching in the South. For it is the tender love of a mother, it is the dark dignity of death that is lynched by the United States government.
There still is an eternal shame on those white Gold Star Mothers who demanded segregation and Jim Crowism.
There still is an eternal shame on those responsible officials that abused the United States and Jim Crowism.
The natives are a law-abiding community, but if this kind of outrage is going to continue, and treated lightly inside and outside our law courts, the natives will eventually be advised to retaliate. The day such a spirit is infused in them will be a dark day for South Africa.

"While your blood is colored, try and keep it pure, not mixed with China."
"The above gem was taken from a letter addressed to "White and Colored" people of Greenville, Minn., by a white Michiganian, this sentence being a special appeal to "Colored" people. The letter was distributed throughout the city of Greenville, and was reprinted in the June issue of the American Mercury.
It seems that there is trouble in the Delta region beginning Chinese are managing to get along in spite of racial barriers they have to face down there. And so the white man wants us to help him crush this member of his community, either which he will be in a position to concentrate his forces upon us.
And strangest of all the strange thoughts in this appeal is the statement that we should keep our blood "pure" although it is colored. To this we can have but one answer: Our blood is no longer "pure" in the sense that it is of one race. The white man of Mississippi and other places South saw that years ago. That being the case, an alliance with the Chinese—a blood alliance—can be no worse than the one we have had forced upon us by collagen whites.
A white man who can make such an appeal to us in the heart of America's lynchmind, either has no respect for our intelligence, or is himself, extraordinarily dumb! — Chicago Defender.
AND SO FORTH
Great Britain seems to have adopted the "Top-Side Up-Handle-With-Care" policy with regard to Gandhi. In prison he is given every consideration and every effort made to make him comfortable. Gandhi is a thinker and thinkers must be "handled carefully." Negro thinkers also demand respect. Talkers are not taken seriously. In spite of the grit and jeal, the Gandhi method is calculated to lay low a hundred British Empires.
What this country needs is about two honest-to-goodness citizens who will wear themselves out at hard work as uncompletely as they do at "having a good time." Norfolk Journal and Guide.
What the Negro race needs is just one "black Gandhi" to replace a lot of our "black kids" Sundays" and

Mr. Knox Exposed
Editor, The Negro World:
Please publish this article towards my stand to both the Detroit and Chicago conferences, called by the first assistant president general, Mr. E. B. Knox.
I stated in Detroit that no conference should be called by the first assistant president general. However some of the presidents seemed to think that I was wrong in my statements. But I contended that a cable should be sent to the President General notifying him of said conference.
The conference was called by the first assistant president general, Mr. B. B. Klox, in Chicago, from May 6th to May 8th. Before leaving for the conference I publicly notified my division that I wanted to attend this conference, because I felt that things would be done there that would not meet the approval of the President General. At the time the division was not financially able to send me. Therefore I borrowed the money to go. The first day of the conference, I usted Mr. Knox again, "had not notified the President General?" And his reply was yes. The majority of presidents who attended this conference were in record that nothing should be done without the consent of the Honorable Marcus Garvey. Here Mr. Knox took me and others. He said that nothing would be put in execution until he had carried the resolutions and everything to Kingston, Jamaica, for Mr. Garvey's approval. Mr. Knox also stated to the conference that he wanted every division to raise funds to pay his expenses to and from Jamaica.
I was to my great surprise when I read that Mr. Knox had gone to New York to try to force Mr. Salmon to publish the conference proceedings before getting Mr. Garvey's approval. I wanted the world to know that I am not in sympathy at all with Mr. Knox's actions! And I voice the sentiments of the Cleveland Division No. 133. No one need to expect to get away with anything that is against the good will of the Fion. Marcus Garvey. And any man or woman who thinks so are the biggest jackasses in the world! I want to state that I will challenge any man whether he be black or white to do anything in my presence against Marcus Garvey or the U.N. L.A. Mr. Garvey may be thousands of miles away from the United States but he still has loyal supporters to back him.
I want to thank Mr. Strong and also Mr. Saltius and others for the stand they have taken to protect the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the organization against its enemy. I am one hundred per cent behind the Hon. Marcus Garvey and every member and friend of the Cleveland Division No. 133, are the same. We are willing to carry out Mr. Garvey's instructions irrespective of what happens. I hope that every member will understand that there is a man living today to fill Garvey's place. I sincerely hope that every president and division throughout the country and the world will stick to the Honorable Marcus Garvey, and the cause of Africa's redemption. Thanking you for the space, Mr. Editor, I still remain. Yours for service. S. V. ROBERTSON, President Cleveland Division No. 133, Cleveland, Ohio. June 4, 1830.
Fete Cuban Freedom
The twenty-eighth anniversary of Cuban Independence was observed yesterday with ceremonies at the pavilion at Riverside Drive and 182nd street.
Following a parade from the Church of Our Lady of Hope, Riverside Drive and 182nd Street, led by the Navy band and an escort of sailors from the Brooklyn Navy陆 under command of Leont. J. J. Jacklin, Dr. Eino Adanson, Consul General for Panama, made a short address in Spanish. He traced the history of Cuba and spelled the progrue that has been made by the Cuban Republic since achieving the independence.
An Englishman Thinks
We Are Ignorant of India
Editor, The Negro, World:
I have, already intimated that I am not proposing to renew my subscription to The Negro World. In this country, a lot of muddled-headed thinking is assuming that taking away from the "Haves" will benefit the "Have Nots." All history, if only people would read it, proclaims that this process invariably leave the "Have Nots" worse off than before. Consequently I have no money for luxuries, such as following the Negro movement. But another reason is that I have pointed out in which direction success lies and in which direction failure lies. Your President is pointing the way to success, but many of his followers point the way to failure.
The articles on India are written by people unacquainted with that country and its peoples or are misleading. Mr. Gandhi is not out to free the peoples of India from the British yoke. Very far from it. He is out to capture for his class, an organization built up by men with far more capability and honesty of purpose than he is ever likely to command. His type is well known in India and anyone knowing that country knows that if he got his way (his averted-way) his shift would be very short indeed. Only under British rule is it possible for him to conduct his campaign with any chance of a whole skin. Remove British protection and Mr. Gandhi would, very soon be in effect "a martyr," but not to British violence.
I suggest that. The Negro World leave races they do not have the opportunity of understanding to those who know them and keep down to the Negroes. Negroes should ask themselves whether they would be competent to conduct the new Rhodesian copper mines. That copper was there before the whites came. Why did not the Negroes work it then? For the same reason that I do not work it. Because I don't know how and did not know how to look for it when I was in Africa. Until it is recognized that being black or white gives one no claim to the products of the earth and that such is only gained by ability, grudging people, whether white or black, the results of their ability leads nowhere. Your President sees that the first step is for the Negro to develop capabilities equal to those of the whites. Then, the Negro will be able to compete, not before.
Yours faithfully,
KENNEDY DINGWARE,
Palmerton House,

Editor's Note: Our English correspondent quite complacently takes it for granted that he knows more about India than our collecting print which is comprised of encyclopedias on colonial and imperialistic politics. Our correspondent has entitled the Indian situation from a wrong end and from imperialistic sources. Lightened persons will laugh at his opinions about Mughtan Gandhi. Gandhi is job for above only. Englishman's character, integrity and intelligence.
We know that the U.N. has on the right track. We also know that the Negro cannot develop their ability as long as political oppression continues to deprive them of all opportunities. Look at South Africa, the United States and Canada. The whites keep the Negro ruthlessly down and then accuse him of not walking up. This kind of argument is immoral, to lay the least. India has gone through these stages and has now determined to throw off the British yoke. The timeworn arguments against Indian Freedom are toy less than worthless from a realistic view point.
We want our correspondent to read the Negro, World pot as a "luxury" but as an indispensable necessity. We would like to impress upon him and other white readers, that the voice of the darker races is the most important in the twentieth century and that they should heed it in their own interest.
Let's Be Men!
Editor: The Negro World:
I am asking you for just a small space in your paper. I want to express my feelings and sympathy to the world.
I am a Negro who believes in rights. I believe every man should have his rights. I hold that a man should get what he buys. The white world has been buying hell from the Negro for lo, these many years, and are yet buying it. And by the way, I am about ready to help give him all the hell he is looking for. Don't fool yourself, Mr. White Man, for what you are looking for is right here.
Let Negroes unite and teach the world one lesson before it is too late. We are men! Why not act like men? A man makes his own way through the world. He does not wait for someone to make his way for him. He knows that he has what all other men have: a head and five senses. Now let us make the world know that we are capable of using our own heads. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, I am

The Mohammedan world is very restless. The Moslems are stirred to their depths and are quite alive to the international opportunities that may any time present themselves to enable them to achieve their independence.
Egypt is playing a very shrewd diplomatic game with the British imperialista. Recently Nahas Paha, the Sudan leader and premier, cornered Mr. Henderson, the British foreign secretary and his advisors, and extracted substantial concessions in Sudan which is really Egyptian territory. It was not until MacDonald's entire cabinet considered the concessions the foreign secretary had made that they discovered that they had been outplayed. And the astonishment!
It was really a shock to the diplomatic world to hear that the British cabinet refused to be bound by their representative's negotiations. Such a thing seldom happened in the British diplomatic relations. It was reserved for the labor government to create a precedence of bad faith. The British cabinet was desperate and resorted to big stick and tried to threaten the Egyptians into submission. Of course, the Egyptian nationalists simply smiled at the threat. They looked toward the last, thought of the restless India and said to themselves, "Weil, we can't help regaining our own territory and freedom."
"We can't sign away the Sudan," said an Egyptian nationalist delegate. It was indebted a rude reply to the British imperialists, and they will find out the significance of those words not very far off.
The British diplomats awoke one fine day in 1623 to learn that their diplomacy was a mere hollow thing. A young Turik, Ishmet Pasha, had pipetted Lord Carson and other European and American diplomats out of recognition.
Indeed these are the days of reversal for the West.
Just a few weeks ago the Syrian Arabs threatened France with Mahatma Gandhi's civil disobedience, boycott and non-cooperation movement. Of course, they had rebelled time and again against the French imperial yoke. The brave Syrians have shed their blood very freely to taste the manna freedom.
Their threat has taken effect. Two weeks ago a constitution was granted to Syria by the French. To be sure it is worth not much, for defence and finance and political control are still under the French. The situation is exactly like that of India in 1920. But Syrians have arrived at a stage where they can wage a systematic fight against the French for complete freedom.
Irak is not actually satisfied. And Hedjaj is watching every move being made in the Near East.
Palestine has become a dangerous magazine instead of a strategic center for the defence of the Indian Empire. Great Britain must be thinking that her good for territory under the protegee of undertaking responsibilities to carry "civilization" to "backward" people has certainly shown her into a morass of prejudice thorns. Whichever way she will move she shall feel the wicked.
Please the Jews—Mohammadine in India threaten British! Please the Arabs—Jewish capitalists in Great Britain and the United States must such a host that the British "stuntly tremble. And to cap it all both the Jews and Arabs threaten to go over to Gandhi's camp in India! British men, if they have any wisdom, should respond their impulses. If not in the interest of mankind, at least in their own interest. British empires is the great enemy of peace and man.
Raja Mahendra Pratap Visits The Negro World
Raja Mahendra Pratap, who is feared by the British and listened to by the Soviet, and Afghan rulers, came to play a visit of courtesy and encouragement to Marcus Garvey, and his great organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. Pratap met Mr. Garvey in 1923 and was greatly impressed by his personality and work. The international character of Mr. Garvey's movement has interested Mr. Pratap a great deal. Mr. Pratap is a Hindu ruler who was ousted out of his territory for his nationalistic activities in India, is crucifying all the time in behalf of India's and all oppressed people's freedom. He has been a trusted advisor of the Kings of Afghanistan and was the directing genius of the Soviet government in their Asiatic propaganda campaign.
The English greatly fear him, but he is beyond their reach. For he is a citizen of Afghanistan and travels always on a diplomatic mission. His present tour is the fifth round the world trip. He is the founder of the World Federation a coming rival of the League of Nations

Black Bill Has Edge Over Rival

The trip-hammer right hand of Black Bill of Havana vied with the jabbing left of Wee Willie Davies of Charterol during ten flashing rounds in Braddock Bowl Monday night. Referees Grayber and Judge Simco voted for the wee home-town boys; Judge Frank Ferris called the battle a draw. In our opinion, however, Black Bill woh the fight. Later we found that acores of other fair-minded fans of both races shared our conviction as to the winner. Our score sheet, compiled jointly by Lonnie Harrington, Tom Richardson, and the writer, all of the Courier boxing staff, gave five rounds to Black Bill, three to Davies, and two were even.
Battle Is Thriller
Battle in Thirteen
The battle, a natural to start with, was a thriller through Baxter, in the film *Baxter*, was out to revenge his defeat at the hands of Black Bill in an elimination tourney in Gotham recently. Bill, on the other hand, was just as determined to show his much-doubted supremacy over Pittsburgh's best flyweight hops in years. And again Willie had vowed to do his best before his home town rolls.
A Bight vs. a Left
While that might right, of Black Bill was rocking Davies, Willie kept jabbing with his left. But Bill's blows were harder and more felling, in a few instances staining his opponent almost completely around. Davies was staggered at least a half dozen times when Bill's right landed. Willie's left and right jabs were bothersome but little apparent effect on his opponent. Bill was master of the situation when he had Willie on the ropes and backed him into one corner at least a half dozen times, socking bint relentlessly. The battle was close, however, and Davies fought gently and courageously, but Bill seemed to possess better gen-ralship and a bit more aggressiveness than his opponent.
Bell's Early Lead
Black Bill came out of his corner at the opening bell like a projectile from a cannon and showed speed, and flush sodden clampon. He led, charged, attacked and then covered cleverly with, so much must that Davies could not break down his defense. In the second stanza Bill continued to flash, at one time bounding like a rubber ball in dancing around his opponent bewilderingly. The third round was the same picture with Davies connecting occasionally but with Bill landing on Willie unencumbered on the ropes. These first, three rounds were easily Black Bill's.
Dayles Steps Out
Davies took the offence in the fourth round and won the edge by his clever move, ramee jabbing, while BHI was gleaming up. The fifth round saw the pair battling up and touch, almost typping, blow for blown in this period in a burst of speed both fighters bounded through the ropes and had to be healed back into the pin. Davies grabbed his way into the small margin in the sixth round and BHI came back and took the seventh by powerful digging rights. A bit of battling by Davies while clinching war the only blemish in the bout.
Final Rounds Close
Both battles fought here for the edge in the final plains. And again the rooking right of Bill and the jubbling left of Davies featured. In the final round a right which caught Davies flesh on the chin, almost dropped him. A moment later Davies retaliated by spearing Bill with a left which was jerking to any the rest. The battle was a thriller throughout, and local random will be anxious to see either or both of the fighters in action here in the future. Davies weighed 113;5 and Black Bill tipped the beam at 112;5.
INCOMPETENCY SPRINGS, very often, from indifference.
Larry Johnson Primes for Fight
With the indoor flight season closed, all of the small clubs are counting their losses. None of them could show a profit on the worst season yet. But Jess McMahon of the Olympia Club is looking forward to recuperating with the opening of Ebbets Field next month.
The fight which colored fans anticipate with no little enthusiasm is the card showing Larry Johnson and Pete Latzo in return match, also Harry Smith against Yale Okum.
These two lads are the most popular colored fighters, barring Kid Chocolate, of the day. That they will pick Ebbets Field for Jees is a foregone conclusion and at this early day wiseacres are saying that Latzo will not run away with the decision over Johnson, as he did in their previous meeting.
McMahon has promised to furnish other startling bouts at his open-air emporium during the summer. He is on the lookout for sensational fighters, and it is more than likely that he will show the Spanish heavyweight, Mateo Osa. Before the season closes, in October, Osa is billed to appear on the Milk Fund card, June 12. Further than that, there is no indication as to what he will do. This chap, sponsored by none other than Paolo Uzcudun, is hailed as a real contender for heavyweight honors.
McMahon says that colored fighters will get a break on his program at Ebbets Field, and as this has always been his policy in the past it is expected that he will continue matching mixed bouts for the delegation of fistwain.
Hawkins Comes East For Plenty of Action
PHILADELPHIA. Jugg 4. - Long Tom Hawkins of Sun City of Florida arrived in town last week. Long Tom wants fights and more fighters; nothing else but. A commandable ambition that, but possible opponents, don't want him.
Although not a native son, Hawkins has lived in California since his parents rented there from Shreveport, Lt., his youth. Big and powerful, he is a splendid physical specimen and modest with it. Tom is 25 years old, and married, being also the sole support of his widowed mother. He is six feet four, inches and weighs 220 pounds, not an ounce of which is superfluous. He has been fighting for six years and his record shown 63 combats, 25 kicks, 13 draws, 11 losses and one no-contention. Among his opponents have been Jack Bensault, Chuck Wiggins, Cowley Coyne, Al Willett, Joe Lohmann, Neil Cilby, Tiny Rackhush, Tiny Punto, Core Hurry, Chief Monahan, Big Bill McMahon and George Godfrey.
PHILADELPHIA, June 7—Phan of the starting arrangement at the Philips' boll park for the Primo Carmen-Gorengo Goffrey host on June 23 have been completed by William H. Gunnell. They call for 22,000 temporary seats, in addition to the permanent 18,500 in the grandstand and bleachers, a total capacity of 49,000. The ping will be pitched at second base and the winged ball will stretch back, in some instances, 20 rows. This section is to contain 10,000 chairs.
From the back wall to the right field wall, a sloping temporary stand will be put up. Another stand of this type will be stretched, out to the bleachers in left field, and still another is to be erected in deep center field, in front of the clubhouse. These three sections will hold 8,000 spectators and extra boxes will accommodate 4,000 more.

"God is in our hearts—yes, indeed. Love and mercy and friendliness are in our hearts—yes, indeed."
The Lord God, dignified, benevolent amid the miscellaneous trappings of a Broadway dressing room, had just a moment before the fish fry was to begin in "The Green Pastures." Richard B. Harrison, who enacts the Lord, spoke a quiet sermon-like this. It rang strangely through backstage Broadway where only wiiscracks are used to echo. While out on 47th street rushed the impersonal, jostling, mask-faced crowd, seeking a play for their entertainment, a job for their security, unapologetically stepping on one another's toes in their haste to get wherever they were going.
"God is in the heart of everybody." Harrison declared. "It only takes some force to draw out their faith."
Little Black Angels Giggled
Little black angels, with fuzzy round heads and moulling ragged wings, peered in en route to the fish fry, to greet the Lordiggingly.
Outside fragrant fair, ladies in glamorous evening garb and snake top-hatted men of the world stepped out of limousines, hoping they would not be bored by this play.
But the Lord God of "The Green Pastures," the most popular actor on Broadway, continued his impromptu sermon undisturbed.
"I have always believed that people are religious." Harrison declared. "It didn't take this play to prove it. It is an obsession with me.
"Everyone has a religion of some sort. Every one has some kind of faith."
"Even New Yorkers Religious.
Maybe this crowd pouring into the Manisfield sets. God in a thousand different, ways. Harrison pondered.
Some simply see Him in the Louisiana Negro sees Him—among them at a fish fry; for the heart of the Negro is oppressed, and an oppressed heart is not discontented; that the Lord should resemble a humble village preacher.
The more civilized among them see God, perhaps, lonely and far off. 'Many would blush if charged with possessing religion. Many would boldly cry their unbelief.
Grove Defeated By Leo Williams
Lee Williams of Hallowen defeated Jim Graves of the Mount in the final ten-round best at the opening of the batting season in Denton Park last night. Grove held Williams on home even terms until his jaw connected with a hard right in the phalanx. Kelly took a count of nine but you withdrew when he got up and waned in easy victim for another right to the jaw that again cut him to the canvass.
He took another count of eight and managed to hang on until the bell ended the count.
Grover's hand clawed some as he came out for the seventh and he fought back grumally. The ninth, however, was another stormy corsick for the Bronx boxer and he was tired and bleeding badly from the mouth as he answered the hall for the final round. A complicated crowd turned out for the opening show at the home of the Birmingham Basketball Club. The two eight-foot contests turned out to be斗鸡 with Hugh Gilbert of Belgium gaining the decision over nine Starko of South Brooklyn in an interesting netto that had the fand booing throughout and Mandy Goldman of Ebbt New York stopping Jack Cavallo in the first round. The latter bout was so one-sided that the referee humely refused to allow the Cuban to cuffer unnecessary punishment.
Andy Hudson of the Bronx defended Pete Michelien in a first four-round that served as the opening number.
Al Brown Stops Coen
WATERBURY, Conn. June 7 (A.P.—) Al Brown, New-Bedford, Mass.
recognized bantamweight champion of the world, knocked out Milton Cohen,
New York, in the first round of the screamer ten-round feature bout
oneton tonight.
TIMIDITY
Timidity is a weakness that must be overcome if one would travel far and accomplish much.
Timidity ties the tongue, bends the knee and weakens the spine.
To doubt one's self is a crime.
Verily. "To the timid and hesitant,
everything is impossible because it
seems so."
But "people are religious, even New Yorkers," inimits Harrison. "Only a few admire it. But I believe that even the most rational iconoclast, the most honest renouncer of any form of faith, believes in something — or years to believe. White or black; rich or poor, sophisticated, or provincial, this New York audience pouring in outside is to Harrison merely a cross, section of the same kind of people he has known all his life.
Soca Universal Longing
"Tack any one of them down, and you will find this faith—or a defense against it that is really a cloak covering their yearning.
"All of us are impelled by a universal longing for somebody to look after us, some Supreme Being—better and stronger than man—some kindly, fatherly one who loves and protects us."
This understerrent of mankind's longing is what Harrison believes has made "The Green Pastures" no remarkable in appeal. Either we believe or long to believe. Harrison is one who believes.
Parents Taught, Him Reverence.
"I believe God is omnipotent, omniscient, everywhere," he said. "I believe He has kept me from danger and despair. Sixteen lives I have crossed the continent. I have had many hardships. Often I have been hungry, and机械 and in the midst of danger. The Lord looked after me.
"He is looking after me now."
Harrison's parents, fugitive slaves who found freedom and refuge in London, Ontario, taught him reverence, instilled in him his early faith. Somebody greater than himself has helped him into Broadway's Great Partures. He does not, call it "Lady Luck."
Nor do his friends who have known him long struggle. His old friend Robert R. Molton, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, which booker T. W. Washington found in Alabama, writer, "Recalling has I do the long way, and oftimes hard and dreary, over which you have traveled in your artistic career, it seems to me now that it has all been a port of preparation for this glorious climax to your endeavors."
"Only out of great travel could it have been possible for you to achieve such truly remarkable results. With such simplicity and propriety..."
In the way of entertainment we in this country have little chance to be thankful to American there are no company who have become nurtured with the Americanism of the "national" past the cinema may soon find it necessary to have them from over the Atlantic to keep their audiences, and one wonders if it is possible to estimate the amount of damage to British vandals by the permitted invention of positively horrible舞曲 from the same source. It is, therefore, a matter of some satisfaction to be able to commend, and commend very highly, the delightful work of the Four Temperary Kings who top a strongly similar bill of the Palace Titulaire this week. They are clamed as "American," downward quoted—in a to which one would imagine, they are fully entitled, for it is impossible to imagine any joy of such a high standards coming from the United States.
In their time they even make one have a measure of respect for certain kinds of American music. They are no different—they are colored folk who have dignity and they sing with all that charm of tone which one can associate with the most pleasing of British quartets, and yet preserve that characteristic "atmosphere" that can be associated with the cotton fields, but not, we are affixed, with Broadway. Their rendering of "Ole Man River" is prilittine, and "Singing in the Rain" and "Walking with Susie," to mention only two more of the no-called "popular numbers," are sung with an affect which is certainly not attained in the average American production.

New Revue Opening
After three months rehearsal and many changes in directors and scores, "Change Your Luck," by Garland "Hot Stuff" Howard, opens at the Geo M. Cohan Broadway Theatre, Friday night, with a sell out. The music is by Irving J. C. Johnson, local New York boy and music writer from Broadway with one or two previous hits. In the chorus are many favorites of the Harlem stage. The principals are among the best that the stage can produce. Included in the ranks are Garland "Hot Stuff" Haward said his pretty wife, Mae Brown, "Speedy" Smith and some others. The music for this show is said to be the best ever devised for a Broadway show white or black. There are 80 people in the company.

Kid Lewis A Sensation
Montreal, Canada, Saturday, May 51. For the first time in its history Mglil University was defeated on its campus.
Fernie "Kid" Lewif, our local product, now representing the West Indian C. C. of Montreal, was the hero of the day.
Magill took the wicket first. They were all out for a match 64. Elf Holder and the Kid moving them down in their order. W. J. C. replied with 111 runs, high scores. Kid Lewif, 69; Greed, 19. The day was cold and dark.
Of the New York wicket players, new in Canada, Kid Lewis came to be showing the best form, both in bowing and at bat. The hard times to where he has endured himself, are with him in spirit to a man.
It is respectable that the Kid will not be here to defend New York threatened supremacy. They are proud of the whitting West Indian elephant.

Cricket Boundaries
By Darold Lewis
J. K. Holt Coming
Word has been received that the old international veteran, Mr. J. K. Holt, will be a member of the visiting West Indian cricket team that is due to arrive in New York, June 29. It will be recalled that the mature J. K. and the illustrious Mr. George Headley, played in this city last season as members of the local Jamaica C. C.
These two sterling players were a team in themselves. The miserable support they received from the other members, failed to dim the laureat of these stars.
J. K. will be welcomed, as before, by the eager acclaim of his countrymen, and the horde of friends he made while amusing us.
Mr. J. K. Holt is a veteran of many campaigns... only in the West Indies, but also abroad. His niche is secure, in the cricket. Hall of Fame for all time.
An outstanding figure in the West Indies, he is nevertheless unduly modest. J. K. carries no swain, bombard, or superior complexity. He is what was called in this country, "regarler."
This is a land of free speech. The crusader J. King have the "shall follow well and" attitude. There is an inferiority complex, on their port towards the star players, regardless. Limit your inrising to Messrs. Holt and Heidley, it was quavariably J. K. and in regard to Heidley, it was "doing" or Heidley, Not Mr. Holt, Not Mr. Heidley.
Do in the Romans do. Babe Ruth in the outstanding baseball player in the world; a man who by the virtue of his thunderbolt hat has not a worthy rival. He is adored by the fans. When speaking of him, or to his face, they rarely use the Mr. The Babe belongs to them.
If Mr. Holt or Mr. Heedley was displeased by this familiarity on the part of the cricket devotees in this country, it is news to me. On many occasions at the pitch this writer recalls, on opening fan would sing out "the J. K. Le Heedley" and in each instance an answering smile, or wave of the hand on the part of these men, would be the response.
What we are endeavoring to point out is the fact that these men possess good strong common sense. They are not normer, like some of the conflicted whiling West Indian eminent personnel of two years ago, who, in addition with the idea of these superiors, scarcely condescended to notice their admirers.
They had the marrow class prejudices, rampant in the West Indies. They looked down on the friendly faces as much as to say, "Who are you?" What were your opinion on the other side? Are you my agent?" Morgan me, but, we have not been proudly introduced." That was their attitude. SOONS OF TERROR. We must their viewpoint have been broadened. The loyal devotion on the scene, and have more concern, but they can be very unkind family at
N. Y. Cricket Strong
New York has undoubtedly the best cricket players in the country. The visiting West Indian team of two seasons past was a well founded team; fresh from practice, in sympathetic climes. They had everything. As proof, their most effective bowler, Edmund St. Hill, who created havoc here, is slated for the Australian tour. So also is Errol Hunt.
It has been said time after time, when a visiting team is expected, that New York has no opposition to offer. We beg to differ. New York possesses the strongest team in the country, the local West Indian C. C. This is the only individual club in the city to offer any kind of resistance to the onlaughts of visiting cricket teams.
The invading islanders of two years ago had their hands full, endeavoring to defeat our crack West Indian outfit. If memory recalls alight, it was only the heart breaking errors of one or two local players, at a critical period of the match, that enabled the visitors to outpace ahead.
Those that were fortunate enough to have seen that memorable encounter will never forget the local West Indian C.C. fighting, with their backs to the wall, to protect their score, Nobly they fought; and well. Despite the fact that New York's cricket ace, Ed. Holder and Kid Lowis, are in Canada, the West Indian C.C. with the addition of Ben Clark, Alan Mayers, Brannie Dash and others, have a well balanced team under the captaincy of Rogle Alliden. It looks to us even stronger than in past years.
West Indian C.C. simply loved with the Dish of Brooklyn, Sunday, June 1, compiling 165 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. Just a work-out. Again we export the West Indian C.C. is the only individual club club, that stands a chance against the new Menzies.
"N. Y. Pick" a joke
"The Pick of New York" if the right representatives are selected, should be even better than the above champion; but, it is usually worse. The Pick has been a joke team, so long that it inspires no confidence. Reason: Too much portability. The match is usually played before a big throng. Every cricket player, young and old, desire to get in the limelight. Some, when they do play, are in person, as it pleases.
When New York shows the right reaction on the ground, to defend it higher, the wicket will come for the dugging hand of fighters holding their own original victory cricket or recognized worthless cricket who are capable of upholding the honor of the West Indies in England and Australia.
The only check on captain, your woman wont put on her activities, in a bank cheek.

The day was block and dreary, figuratively of February weather in certain parts of the South.
The phosphate mills were in operation. The Rutledge mills, the mills wherein the scene of our story is laid, were the largest in Rutledgeville, a Southern fertilizer center. The Rutledge mills, covered approximately four square acres with its main buildings and numerous outhouses. Operations were in full swing.
From a distance one could note the buildings with their numerous smoke-stacks, each apitting forth a continuous volume of lava-like vapor going up, up like sentinels against the sky, only to be sent on a horizontal rampage by the seemingly avengeful wind.
Within the Rutledge mills was a scene long to be remembered. Out of the innumerable men and boys one could catch the rough air of some "old plantation song" or 'the soft quiet chant of some Negro "spiritual" above the din of the hoppers and the rumbling of the trucks, "Georgia huggle," wheelbarrows, et cetera.
George Jeffords, typical cracker of the South, was foreman in the main building of the Rutledge mills. Jeffords was seated at a desk by hopper number fourteen. He was hired mostly for his malevolent nature and hatred of Negroes in general by the Southern gentleman, J. Ventington Rutledge, Esq., sole wager of the mills that bore his name.
Jeffords was physically the kind that would pay the masses to pay homage to the eminent Mr. Barrow for theories and conjectures. Mostly he possessed the proverbial single-tracked brain, same being capable of reaching one concluding thus "Down with Negroes."
Jefferson looked toward hopper thirteen and saw an idle "Georgia buggy." Almost from his seat in the desk he strode war to the hopper where stood the idle truck for the investigation of the "why" and "what" for the truck's standing. Then reaching the hopper he saw a sixteen year

old boy sitting behind on a box.
Jeffords upon seeing the boy boiled over with farge. "What are ye doin' heath?" he belooved in his commotive baritone. The boy knowing the wrath of the ill-tempered foreman was too frightened to answer. After a pause Jeffords yelled out again, "We dam loadin' nigger, snap up!".
"You only restin' returned the boy familiy."
"Rodin' hell!" tried the foreman, and raising his foot stuck the boy in the face. The boy arose from the box and Jeffords raised his foot again and let it out this time, catching the boy gall on the stomach. With a short piercing cry, the boy fell to the floor.
"While she yer done wrong," Startled by the examination Jeffords spun around to gaze in the face of John Bowman, the black cabman. Regaining his self-possession Jeffords pulled out: "Wot in hol yuh go to jump in; what air yer gain to do about it?" The cabman replied: "I can't do enghin' about it." Jefferd, but you should not a little the boy lay dat."
The cabman retreated a few steps and drew his wolver and said, "Yer damn black hinger jesus jee yer!" Now I am a white man how dare you talk to me like that." With that, Jeffords pulled the trigger and John Bowman, went to the floor, a bullet in his mouth, an intimately, uncovered death.
Jeffords hissed the gun before the blim that had compelled at the scene during the conflict and said, "With any of yer got enghin' to say?" (You Be Continued Next Week.)

Fifty-four, years ago. Professor Thomas Huxley delivered a lecture at John Hopkins. On that occasion the eminent scientist uttered those words of wisdom: "I cannot say that I am in the slightest degree impressed by your bigness, or by your material resources as such. Size is not grand-ear, and territory does not make a nation. The great issue about which hangs a true sublimity and the terror of overhanging fate, is what are you going to do with all these things?" Professor Huxley's voice has long since been silenced by death but the question he asked of America fifty-four years ago is very much alive today.
There are some people who assert that a fitting, answer to: Professor Huxley's query is to be found in the fact that the United States is now the richest nation in all recorded history; that her meteorite rise to dizzy financial heights since she helped make the world safe for democracy, has added greatly to her prestige and her peruvian riches is how world wide. Those who accept these views point with pride to her factories and marvelous transportation systems; to her numerous industries; her "unlimited natural resources as well as to her imperial junta in the Western hemisphere as a most convincing answer to Huxley's skepticism.
Others with a keener and more civilized sense of social appraisal recognize in such orgies of barbarians as was staged recently in Sherman, Texas, a more eloquent and accurate answer to the noted physiologist. This group rightly, claims that the difference between a savage and a civilized people, is not measured alone by the meter of material values they happen to possess at a given period, but mainly by the rate of speed they register in the struggle to rid themselves of the rude primitive instincts of the jungle, and by their willfulness in pursuing those ordinary concepts and attitudes civilized person is generally supposed to assume toward his fellow men. When George Hughea, a Negro, was brutally tried to death by a foulin man of low grade savages in Sherman, Texas, this latter point of view was given substantial proof of its essential soundness.
George Hughes, like most Negroes who die at the hands of Southern mobs, was accused of assaulting a white woman. He was arrested. Among a civilized people the recognized process of law would have been permitted to run its course; but not so in Sherman, Texas. While Hughes was being tried in the county court house the unpolyglottic minions of mobism gathered, outside and made a dash for the defenseless, handcuffed prisoner. These getprenames are reported often to have offered Hughes the choice of attempting flight from the court house, or being unempowered locked in a steel Vault located on another floor of the buildings.
Tragingly, the deemed male choice to enter the vault and was roasted to death therein. Had he elected to flee instead he might have escaped being roasted to death, but a bullet fired from a rifle in the hands of a guardman, a sheriff or some other armed civilized Texan, would most like have moved him down. By the established standards of Southern justice whenever a Negro is involved, Hughes was foredoomed to die. Governor Browne is said to have received from the law enforcement and federal government to "hold the Negro" but shoot no member of the mob Outraged Southern womanhood (white only, not the mother of the million of militants in the South) had to be avenged, and white supremacy again vindicated.
With the court horey reduced to askes the mob their make their way through the smoking debris and dynamitted the vault in which was enclosed the baked body of Hughes. With ghoulish gice they pounced with a thud to the sidewalk below those impas of evil took possession of it. They tied it to the rear wheel of an automobile' and dragged it triumphantly through the streets of Sherman.
Upon arriving in the squiggle Negro section of the town they being the emancipated corpse to a tree facing 'a Negro drug store and built a fire beneath it. As the frames enveloped the carcass of the Negro, white men, women and children cheered repeatedly and sang the popular anty "happy Days are Here Again." At that moment a holiday in Hell must have been declared. Sherman, Texas, like so many other Southern outposts of American civilization, before it had done, was making the most convincing answer to Huxley.
Sociologists have repeatedly pointed out that in the march of society, upward and forward out of the jungle of primitivism, races and tribes sometimes fall behind; they are unable to keep pace with the great

Washington, D. C. — The hundred years which have passed since the appearance of the first Negro newspaper, "Freedom's Journal," published in New York City, March 30, 1827, has seen the Negro newspaper emerge from the folded sheet into a 24-page weekly edition appearing regularly, with editorial feature, pictorial, magazine and photo-gravure sections.
It is claimed that there are nearly 400 periodicals published by Negroes over 200 of them being weekly newspapers.
Of the 225 there were more than 400 periodicals published by Negroes in the United States. Of those over 200 were weekly newspapers which pear regularly each week, several of which own and operate their buildings and newspaper plants, and are able to control their entire profits.
One of the noticeable features of this field of activity is the position which women of the race have taken in the industry, several owning and performing weekdays, while others serve in administrative reporters and in almost all capacities connected with the publication of newspapers.
Negro Women Teach Loyalty to Men!
Negro Women Teach Loyalty to Men!
By BERNICE deMENA
For years we have been crying: "God give us men." And we have HAD men; but what of them, where are they? They come and go with the winds that blow. They enter into ourselves as wolves in sheep's clothing, and their main object is to get what they can out of the Negroes. They have not, the least bit of pride for their race. They are but slaves of our oppressors, who perform the will of their masters without a question. They have ever supplied with us, yet fooled us; but today the thinking masses of Negroes refuse to be fooled by such frilling creature, thanks to Mecus Garvey.
The men and can only look to the women for help. That humour says: "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world." is coming to pass. It has often been said that it takes a man to lead in everything, but that is not so. Men ARE capable of leading, but they generally lead the wrong way.
Women, moreover, are more inspiring than men. They can stand the tests that man cannot stand. Women care about their reputation, and will not have themselves branded as "dangerous characters." This is not so with the men. If they are out to gain a certain point, regardless of what the outcome is to be they go right on to the very end, without a cause.
GEN! MEN! MEN! Are you not scorned of yourself? Have you no feelings for the Men. Marcus Garvey, whose heart is plured every day, you deceive him?
WOMEN! Wake up. Put your shoulder to the wheel and show the men the real meaning of the word—LOYALTY. If you begin now there should be no fear due to the further progress of this great organization.
Sometimes it looks as though Europe's troubles were temporary, and then again they seem to be chronic.
body of onward moving humanity. Their unmovable role is to bring up the year end of civilization. Very often these straagging, unwaived elements are perplexly contented with the sorry role into which has deceived them; they have been known even to resist the humanizing influences of culture and education acquired by their brothers in the van of human progress stubbornly they adhere to the customs and habits of primitive life. Probably Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida and other such attitudes of so-called Christianity and white supremacy represent in our day examples of this sociological fact. Obviously it is the task of the workers of both races, when they become enlightened and conscious of their common interest and organize politically as well as industrially to safe-guard their interest—to carry to their brothers in those benighted sections of the United States the torch of civilization and thereby quicken their pace in the protracted march to a higher humanity.

Western people of Ethiopia descent often wonder why Islam holds such a phenomenal sway with the Africans, as in their opinion Africans were "converted at the point of the sword. As profound as was the philosophy of the Molem teachers, examples the more substantial were demanded before Islam captivated the domestic life of Africa and the Arabic language so extensively used.
A convert is instructed to convert is instructed to conceive of Dely as without shape, form, nor color. "God is one," says the Koran. "He is inadvisible, has no partners, was not begotten, neither did he beget." Then it stands to reason that Moslems of every nationality can readily disregard any superiority complex if his converters in imparting knowledge of a creed so easy to understand and as easily expressed, the convert's mind is left free from theological bigotry.
The late Hon. Edward Wilmot Blyden, an ex-West Indian slave, a Barister at the English Bar, rendering an opinion on the subject now under consideration stated. "If the Negr had at any time to chose between the Koran and the aword, when he chose the former, he was allowed to wield the latter as the equal of any other Moslem: but no amount of allegiance to the Gospel relieved the Christian Negro from the chain which he cofessed to have rescued him from political and, in a measure ecclesiastical proscription which he still undergone in all the countries of his exile. Everywhere in Christian lands he plays the part of the slave, ane or puppet":
A peculiar principle in Islam is the absence of a priestly caste, and its resultant evils, miracles to be believed in. Mohammed's teachings were a code of ethics than a theological system. He made no provisions for that species of social parasites designed as Priests. Therefore it would not be out of place to be a note of warning in that any one parading as 'Rev. So and So' in Islam, or Moslem Priest of this or that place, must be regarded as an imposter. Such a person must be regarded with suspicion, and his credentials scrutinized.
The English-speaking Moslems of America are enjoying a period of intense expectancy on learning that persistent activities are being made for the last few years among the True Believers of the American continent. The wonderful success of Islam in this country has convinced Moslem teachers of the wisdom of compiling a Manual of the Islamic Religion. This book is especially prepared to suit the requirements of Moslem children, as well as of those who at this time feel the urge to understand better the deep significance of the Islamic teachings.
English-speaking Imams (Religious Teachers) previously labored at a disadvantage, considering the time consumed in mastering the Arabic language enough to qualify for graduation. Their insistent demand led to an Illustrated and Simplified manual in Arabic English.

Negro Is Being Disinherited As Usual From Aviation.
actuaries—his name, language, religion—all have been cast into the limbo of things long dead—destroyed, all of them with the possible exception of one identifying mark, the indelible stamp of servitude he bears upon his face.
It must be remembered that all such questions, in their last analysis, find base in economics. The day is fast passing when anything worth while can be "picked up." Only those with technical training will hereafter find a place in the fast-moving procession of our machine age.
Aviation is one of the most highly technical of modern sciences. Merely driving a plane through the air means nothing. The plane must be serviced by trained, eyes and minds. Assembling and repairing is not enough. In fact, it may not be wise for one to enter this field unless he at least, has a high school training. To competent, efficient men and women, aviation offers more and greater opportunities than any other field of human endeavor.
The American Negro, except as a mental, is generally taboo. Even in the Paulman, service, as porters, he is being supplanted by the Chinese. From vocations and avocations, in steadily increasing numbers, he is being harred.
The present situation that finds nearly one million Negroes among those listed as unemployed, is demonstration or proof that economic conditions are subjecting the race to a pressure more severe than any it has heretofore experienced and unless the group at once takes a firm hand in working out their own salvation, that race-group is doomed to utterly disappear from American civilization.
INITIATIVE IS DOING THINGS as they should be done without being told. Doing them when told only once is the next best thing. How many of us ever reach even the "next best" stage?

"Negroes Not Wanted"
Is Dominant Note
(A. A. News & Feature Syndicate)
The Air Corps Reservists want no Negroes in their ranks. An officer in the 2nd Corps Area, at Mitchell Field, L. I., made the following blunt statement:
There never have been any Negroes in the ranks of the flying Reservist. There are none there now, and none will be, tolerated in the future.
"How about the other Corps Area," I asked.
"The policy is the same," this officer frankly declared. "In fact it is a policy of the Federal Government. You may know how much things are handled at Annapolis or West Point. If a Negro cadet does by any chance get inside those institutions, he is handled smoothly, and effectively disposed of in double-quick time. The method used is not objectionable and works admirably. - And we intend that it shall so continue to work. Not only does the United States Government endorse the policy, so ably worked out by the War and Navy Departments, but Aviation Fields everywhere O. K. that policy." Not many weeks ago Charles E. James, the young owner and pilot of "Miss Harlem" was made to realize this fact when he was not allowed to christen his new plane, a Curtis Commandaire, in an initial flight from Roosevelt Field.
This experience of Mr. James is nothing new or unusual, so the problem—the great problem confronting the American Negro is no longer to be ignored. It must be met—and answered in an unequivocal way, without delay. Aviation now in its infancy is fast becoming one of America's major industries. This fact being recognized, the door even now is being closed—ruthlessly slammed in the face of the Negro and the bars are being jammed into place. Is the Negro aimmed? What does he know about the aviator's radar dog compass? Can he master the complicated mass of gadgets that decorate the instrument board of the modern plane? Can he have traveled afield in aeronautical health? Is be quietly keeping up with the procession? or has he already fallen hopelessly behind—dropped out of sight: as he did in the field of the telephone, phonograph, automobile and the radio? These are some of the questions being asked.
The American Negro is beyond all doubt, a thing apart, unlike any other race-group in the world. His psychology is different. His special char-

LOS PRINCIPIOS ALTRUISTAS DE UNA ORGANI
ZACIÓN. LA VOZ DE LA RAZÓN ILAMA A LAS
PUERTAS DE NUESTRO ELEMENTO. LA DE
PENDENCIA RETARDA EL PROGRESO DE LOS
PUEBLOS.
Es inutil entrar en divagaciones poco eficientes que a nada conducen. No solamente es esta la hora en que hagaros esfuerzos de redimirnos, sino que tenemos a la mano la ocasion mas propicia de hacerle saber al mundo, que estamos determinados a entrar en la lucha por nuestra subsistencia, procurando preparamos convenientemente para llenar la obligación y el deber que como humanos nos legara la Naturaleza, cuando dotó a todos, sin ningun punto prejuicial, las mismas condiciones físicas e intelectuales, poniéndonos en este mundo para servir una causa comun como hijos de una misma familia, defensores de la grán causa, que envuelvo amor, consideración y caridad de unos para otros.
En tales condiciones nuestra institución da un paso al frente, y hablando en términos inequivocos en favor de nuestro propio grupo racial, empleando un lenguaje convincente llama a sus filas a todos y cada uno de los componentes de nuestra raza. Ella advierte además que no se escuche otra voz que equella que nos invite a la lucha y nos arengue para una acción determinada; la voz que nos ordene marchar hacia adelante en nombre de la emancipación de una raza y de la redención de una patria. Voz que diga: Marchad en pos de vuestro objetivo en la esperanza de adquirir un futuro mas brillante.
Hemos llegado al punto en el camino de nuestro progreso, donde seria una cobardía el retroceder y si una cuestion de vida o muerte el proseguir. La raza negra no necesita por mas tiempo el socorro de ninguna otra raza; mucho menos necesita consejos para sancionar sus cuestiones intimas. Debemos naturalmente mirarnos a si mismos porque a cada momento nos encontramos mas y mas decepciónados en todas nuestras aspiraciones, debido ello al atavismo de haber siempre dependido de los demás.
En estos lares estamos gradualmente perdiendo terreno en lo que a política concierne; en lo económico y social vamos descendiendo a los linderos de una aborrecible cifra insignificativa. En Francia no somos más que los crédulos aniñados, victimas de los estadistas ambiciosos quienes esperan beneficiarse de la ignorancia de aquellos a quienes engañan. Dentro del imperio británico no somos sino ovejas desacarriadas, obedeciendo al tacto sedoso de una diplomacia sobria y bien sasonada. Por consiguiente, Cómo es posible que continuemos dependiendo de los demas?
Permaneciendo en esta condición no hallaremos otra cosa sino niuestra presente y futura ruina, siguendo los mismos senderos que trillaron nuestros abuelos en el pasado. Los dias de esclavitud no se han ido para siempre. La esclavitud es un fantasía que amenaza a todas las razas y a todas las naciones que permanezcan débiles y reusen reorganizar sus fuerzas para su propia protección. La esclavitud no tiene día ni tiempo señalado; se presenta siempre que los pueblos fuercas deseen oprimir a los pueblos débiles.
Nuestra raza negra debe tener mucho cuidado con sus actuaciones en el presente, porque nadie podrá indicarnos cual será nuestra condición en el futuro—si esclavitud o no esclavitud). Para evitar la opresión que pueda amenezarnos, lo razonable es continuar hacia adelante acumulando todas nuestras fuerzas y poderes raciales y establecer nuestra política a independencia nacional, levantando muy en alto los colores del emblema de la redención africana. No miremos hacia atrás, hacia la oscuridad; el Africa debe ser redimida y nuestra raza emancipada. Todo dependerá de la sabia aexuación de nuestro elemento.
Estamos en la palestra no en defensa de un hecho personal e individualista, sino que estamos aqui para defender el todo de la raza de la destrucción que le amenaza. Cuanto necesitamos es que todos y cada uno de nuestro elemento entre a formar parte de esta grande y noble organización. No desviemos nuestra atención del continente africano; el será la única salvación y solución de nuestro gran problema racial. Africa se levantará de su ruina material hacia la alturas de una gloria indefinida. Ella extenderá sus brazos de influencia para indicar al universo entero el camino hacia la vida; hacia la verdadera paz.

Los lideres nacionalistas no oculaban la satisfacción que les produce ver que cuentan con la cooperación de los elementos musulmanes de la India en su lucha por la independencia.
Hace poco desfilo por las calles de Bombay una gran manifestación formada en su totalidad por musulmanes adictos a esa idea, manifestación que cubría un trayectorio de una milla,oca despues se retuían en una planada y por unanimidad aprobaban el programa del congreso nado ninduí. En su consecuencia, el elemento musulman participara ahora en la campaña de desobedición contra el monopolio de la sal y en el boycott declarado a las mercancías inglesas, Acordaron también que, en vista que el congreso no habia aceptado la proposición presentada por Londres para discutir anigablemente las diferencias, ninguno de los musulmanes acudiera en representación del pueblo.
Desde que principio la campaña de desobediciencia el elefento musulman se mantenia a la expectativa. Entre aquél y los hindues existen marcadas diferencias no solo de religión sino también de costumbres, y aquellas en ocasiones han sido tan profundas que han engendrado odios y querellas. Ademas existia la prevención de que en caso de triunfar los nacionalistas-éstos asumirian por su cuenta las riendas del poder, prescindiendo en absoluto de las necesidades y demandas de los musulmanes que representan la minoria.
Pero en determinadas esferas se consideraba conveniente y sobre todo de efecto indiscutible, la participación de los musulmanes en la campaña iniciada por Gandhi. Hallegado, al patercet, el momento en que la gran mayoria esta dispuesta a segunda la protesta de los nacionalistas y la manifestación musulmana no es más que uno de los muchos sintomas que se han presentado en estos ultimos días.
Los lideres hindus, por su parte consideran de gran importancia contar con el apoyo de los musulmanes y a ello dedican toda su atención en los actuales momentos.
Congreso Independentista
Un gran número de filipinas constituidos, por si en delegados de las diferentes coionias filipinas del mundo, acaban de terminar en Paris lo que ellos llaman "primer congreso de la independencia filipina" que pizzi la immediata, completa y absoluta independencia de la Filipinas. La resolución a ese ceco será comunicada al congresso de los Estados Unidos por mediciación de los comisionados de Filipinas en Washington. La resolución será dirigida al doctor Francisco Villanueva, hijo, que presidió el congresso. Establece que los filipinos están mejor preparados para gobernarse a si mismos que muchos otros pueblos. Hasta aquí, agrega, los norteamericanos han sido imparciales y justos con los filipinos y han estado cumpliendo una por una sus promesas.

24 N. Y. Girls Under 15 Mothers
Surprising facts regarding birth statistics in manhattan were disclosed yesterday by Health Commissioners Shirley W. Wynne who showed that although the child-bearing age normally is between the ages of seventeen and forty-five, in Manhattan, in 1925, twenty-four babies were born to mothers who were children less than fifteen years of age and what is regarded as equally amazing that the babies were born to women beyond the half century mark. The Commissioner's statement is based on a survey of Manhattan babies in 1926 that completed by the Bureau of Records. Of the West Indian mothers five had their teeth baby; five their 11th; three their 12th; two their 13th; one their fourthenth and two their 10th. The report also shows that one woman born her 12th child when she was less than 20 years of age; three had their 17th child when they were less than forty and one her 18th child when she was more than fifty years of age.

Permite Aterrizaje
Los interesados en el desarrollo de la aviación conercial, recibieron las nuevas de que el gobierno francés ha dado* su consentimiento que permite el vuelo de aeroplanes americanos sobre Guadalupe, Martinica y la Guayana Francesa, pudiendo también aterrizar en cualquier de esos territorios.
Estas noticias fueron interpretadas como indicación de haberse salvado el último obstaculo que quedaba en la terminación de la ruta aerea de la costa sudamericana, y se hizo que la Pan American Airways no habia extendido aún su servicio hacia el norte, desde Buenos Aires y Rio, a lo largo de la costa oriental, a causa del gran rodeo que habia que practicar para evitar las posiciones francas, ya que Francia se habia negado, hasta ahora, a emitir permisos de aterrizaje en ninguna de las dos islas mencionadas, o en la Guayana.
La línea entre Nueva York, Rio de Janeiro y Buenos Aires, opera actualmente via las Antillas mayores y menores, para encinnarse hiscia el sur siguiendo el largo del litoral oriental de Sid Améric; para ello, la Compaiafa ha visto en la necesidad de emplear grandes botes equipados con reflectores poderosismos y que usan una gran cantidad de combustible. Tales botes señalan la ruta que deben seguir los aviones para evitar la Martínica y la Guadalupe y luego, Cayenne, en la Guayana Francesa y su costosa operación ha sido un gran obstáculo en el desarrollo de la línea mencionada.
Knox Is Exposed By Chicagoan
weeks ago, Mr. Garvey's statement, in the form of a warning which was suppressed by Mr. R. T. Brown, the former editor.
Recommendation: Drastic Action
Mr. Ephraim was amused that some Division; not understanding Mr. Garvey's warning, was still in doubt as to the proper course of action to be taken and hinted that unless all President of all Divisions got behind the Hon. Marcus Garvey without reservation he would make some drastic recommendation to the President-General.
Hon. Georget C. Ford, High Chancellor, who accompanied Mr. Ephraim in making some investigations which led the pair to Philadelphia and undisclosed points in New Jersey, will speak before the Chicago Division on June 15th and decide the special message from the President-general.
Invitation to Race Sculptor Cancelled
(Continued from Page 85)
by American artist, the artist, described that he was established by the executive committee's rejection of the work and could not offer an explanation for it other than the letter which was written to him by one of the judges of the sculpture committee.
This was written by Walter Hancock, of 207 East, 17th street, New York City, a sculptor, who, five years ago, won the Prix de Rome, and is one of Philadelphia's most highly regarded artists.
Mr. Hancock wrote to Mr. Salamini that "a very difficult attraction has arisen regarding your beautiful statue of Paul Robeson, which the sculptors' committee of the Philadelphia Art Alliance was so eager to have for the exhibition in Rittenhouse Square.
"It did not of course, occur to us," Mr. Hancock wrote, "that there would be any objection to showing a nude figure of a well known person. The executive committee, however, expressed their apprehension of the consequences of exhibiting such a figure in a public square, especially the figure of a Negro, as the colored problem seems to be unanimely great in Philadelphia.
"Miss Mason (director of the exhibition) has asked me, therefore, to persuade you to send something else to the show.
"You may imagine how much I regret to have to convey this request to you, since I have always tremendous and adrenalineous status, and was one of those who especially urged that it be invited, and I hope you will understand the position of the sculptors' committee and favor us with such other contributions as you may see fit to send."
In Philadelphia it was reported that several lay members of the Art Alliance had withdrawn from the society in indignation against the rejection of the statue. The statue, after a year on exhibition in the Palace of the Legion of Honor at San Francisco, is on show at the Brooklyn Museum until September 2015, and the attitude of Philadelphia, the Art Institute was therefore, comparatively unimportant. "We sculptors don't sell many statues in Philadelphia," he commented.
Now in Brooklyn Museum
He was especially angered because after the Art Alliance had requested him especially to send the piece for exhibition four months ago it waited until two days before the exhibition opened in Philadelphia before it notified him that the sculpture could not be shown. During those four months, he pointed out, he lost several opportunities to display the work in other cities.
"I know of several other sculptors who have nude figures of white people on exhibition at the Philadelphia show." Salemme said, "no why they should discriminate against a Negro figure, I cannot see. It is a question of art, and not a question of the Negro or of the propriety of nudity."
At the Brooklyn Museum, where the figure has found a haven as part of the current exhibition of sculpture by living artists, the Robeson figure is catalogued "Negro Spiritual" (plaster bronze), but on the base of the figure is carved "Portrait of Paul Robeson."
Herbert Tschudy, curator of paintings and sculptures at the Brooklyn Museum, who arranged the current exhibition, said the Negro question had not been raised when the piece had been accepted for exhibition nor did the officials anticipate any trouble over displaying the work.
"I saw the pieces in Salemman's studio several weeks ago," Mr. Tschudy explained, "and considered it such a fine piece of work. I immediately asked him for it. The question of its being a Negro subject never entered into the discussion. We were very glad to get it."

Haitian Peasants
Fight Taxation
PORT-AU-PRINCE—It is reported today that 200 peasants, armed with machetes and clubs, fought with tax collectors near Abricot on May 12. Expecting trouble on account of the widespread discontent of the peasants against the tax law, the tax collectors were escorted by a Guardia Force, consisting of ten men and commanded by an American Marine officer. The fight started when the collectors were in the process of serving judgment to a peasant who refused to pay the tax. The soldiers opened fire on the peasants. Two peasants were killed and six wounded.

JACKSON MISS.—(ANP)—The use of litte electrified wires and brutal heatings to force a confession from an insolent man was revealed here last week, when, Dan J. Gobbin, white private detective, was indicted by the Hinds County grand jury, for assault and battery on Oliver Lambert, arrested in connection with wrecking an Illinois Central train, March 31. Goodin's arrest followed an investigation which showed that it was impossible for Lambert to have committed the act, as he was not in the vicinity at the time.
The detective arrested Lambert and after torturing his prisoner, drove him to the scene of the wreck, and forced him to say that he unlocked the switch which caused the derailment of a passenger train operating between Jackson and Vicksburg. A reward of $3,000 has been offered by the railroad for the arrest and conviction of the train wrecker.

cial integrity act. Its basic clause provided that "no one shall occupy a house in any block in the city where the majority of the residents in that block are persons with whom he or she is forbidden to marry under the State Racial Integrity Act."\
Integrity Act\
The racial integrity act, attempts to define the white race and forbid its members from marrying Negroes or Indians and the segregation act who have acted to prevent a Negro or Indian marrying in any block where the majority of the people were. It was the intention of Alderman Henry W. Woody, white, who introduced the measure in the Richmond city council to omitwit the Supreme Court by using the racial integrity basis rather than to base the ordinance on color.
The test case which brought the matter into the Federal courts was instituted by J. B. Deans and others who foiled a citizens' petition for an injunction to forbid the enforcement of the ordinance.
Deans had purchased a property on Twenty-first Street. The case was argued just May before Judge Groner, who ruled that it violated the constitution of the United States.
Following an appeal the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals by the city, three judges, John J. Paker, later rejected for associate judge of the Southern Court, Judge Hugh M. Downey, upheld the ruling of Judge Groner and the case was carried to the highest tribunal.
Arguments throughout the proceedings were based mainly on the contention that the ordinance violated the 13th and 14th amendments to the Constitution.

Integrity Act
Test Case
world which reads the white newspaper is concerned, George Hughes had attacked for the purportation of a white woman. But the actual cause in the case were that this George Hughes had been in the employ of a white man named Atnip, that Atnip owed Hughes wages for three weeks and refused to pay him. The man argued, then fought. Atnip's wife entered the fray in-belhalf of her husband and was 'brushed. She was treated at the hospital for these bruises, not for rape.
At. Chickasha, the alleged crime was also rape. But it is even clearer in this case than in that of Hughes that the charge is false. What did happen is just this: Henry Argo, the man slain, is a half-wit of violent temper. His mother before him was a half-wit, and her husband divorced her twelve years ago at Marion, Arkansas, for that reason. Henry Argo was released recently from the penitentiary at Little Rock, Arkansas, after serving a term for stealing, a gun. He had been in Chickasha about nine weeks. During that time he had tried to kill a colored-girl, Erma Potts. Thursday, before he was slain, Argo, the half-wit, was fishing a couple of miles from Chickasha, near the dugout of G. W. Skinner, the white man whose wife he was alleged to have raped. A dog belonging to the Skinners began affording him, and he sought to punish him. The Skinners saw Argo chasing their dog and they set out to protect him. That precipitated a quarrel between Argo and the Skinners. That afternoon Argo made threats that he was going to kill the white woman.
Thus, Argo was lynched, not because of the rape of any woman, white or black, but because he, an irresponsible half-wit, whom the state should have had in an institution, became involved in an argument over a dog. Skinner was arrested and placed in jail. Scarcely any effort was made by the proper parties to protect him. So reprehensible was the lack of proper conduct on the part of the officers of the law that the white men whom I brought with me from Oklahoma City to take pictures and obtain information, were arrested and thrown into jail when the nature of their mission was learned. I went to the jail to obtain their release, and the fists and photo equipment, which had been confiscated. But the men were brow-beaten and cursed, and the authorities refused to free them.
I thereupon returned to Oklahoma City Sunday night and procured the state's leading criminal lawyer, Mosan Prulft, with whom I returned to Chickasaw at 31' o'clock. The men were released at 1 o'clock morning and the equipment belonging to the Black Dispatch returned.

Folks I Must Still Love!
BY HENRY B. WILKINSON
The metropolitan who leaves the street
With lots of room and soms to spare.
To run beside me on the curb.
My clothes with mud and dirt to
smear!
The "Con" who sees me on the run
With my last distance to be on time.
But slams the door before my nose.
And bellows "Board" it is a crime.
The ticket girl within the booth
When I would love to see the show,
Just chews her gum and never looks.
All gone—but balcony—last Row!
The salesman sore, who calls me
cheap
A bargain, though I fail to see;
Swears awfully as out I go—
No "Seconds" can he sell to me.
An advertisement at the church
Hear the "New Preacher" welcome,
free—
free—
I "Love" the usher still who said
Upstairs, there "is reserved—for
thee." ...
But none, of these might me irate.
For these in daily walks I figure;
But do infants ever know
To call to Mother "There's a Nigger"

The average Negro, today, fails to understand his possibilities. He lacks courage and condidence, because of his strong belief that Nature never intended him to do for himself. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, however, is determined to bring to the race a new hope. There is much to live for, and there is much to die for. We must be free, but we

definitely directed against the government, the looting of villages, a customary feature of past raids, being entirely absent. The tribesmen on this occasion are professing themselves to be friends and sympathizers of the villagers, who are somewhat embarrassed by the presence of these guests, in view of the fact that the necessary military action must, to a certain extent, involve the villagers themselves.
It is unlikely that thisraid has any connection with the trouble in the Mohmand country, as the politically divided Afar is not usually influenced by the more rigorous inspiration of the Mohmand.

Sultan Reaches France
MARSHILLLES, France, June 3. His Majesty, St Monthy Mahammed Ben Joseph, nineteen-year-old Sultan of Morocco, arrived here today on his third visit to France for a two-month vacation.
He was accompanied by his Grand Vizier, a tutor, French political counsellor and a suite of servants. He leaves tomorrow by automobile for a trip through the summer resorts and for some sightseeing in Alaçaz Laraoka and Brittany, with a short visit to Paris.
BUSINESS SUCCESS is dependent upon definite knowledge obtained through record control. -Charles M. Schwab.
ourselfs must strike the blow. The New Negro destroys (more than anything else) freedom and the only freedom that he is looking forward to is the African Freedom. The Hon. Marous Garvey is determined to point the Negro race to a brighter future, a future that may yet restore to us the ancient glory of our fathers. Africa is looking up, and we her sons and daughters, should endeavor to keep her held high<sup>12</sup>.
The Heart Forgets
When spring returns the heart forgets to mourn.
Its doom of dark, when clover on its core.
Shall feed and thrive, and it shall beat no more.
Save in the wings of moths. Are we forlorn,
O Adam, who have flightively found Faith above clover and its lethal bloom
Who hold, horizonted worlds too small a room
To house our love, and so defy the group?
When unremembered centuries shall press
Upon our eyelids (and it shall be so)
The spring will only promise what we know...
Beatitudes which time cannot transgress:
Love which is ours is near as heaven can be:
Life, while it lasts, as immortality.

BOMBAY, June 1, India's intermittent fever of discontent swung back today to its quiet phase, following twenty-four hours of bitter clashes between police and followers of Mahatma Gandhi's program of passive resistance to British authority.
Politically the congress volunteers believed their position strengthened today by alignment with them of a strong section of Moslems in the streets of Bombay and the adoption, afterward in a mass meeting of a resolution supporting the All-India National Congress program.
The group appealed to all their fellows to support the Mahatma Gandhi civil resistance movement and to boycott British goods. It also declared that so long as the congress and the Moslem council did not support the impending round table conference, no Moslem should attend it. The action indicated a decided change of head by the Moslem wing of the population.
Rawalpindi reported that Sardar Singh, president of the Punjab congress committee, has been arrested for sedition and taken to Lahore. He was one of V. J. Patel's appointees. His mission was investigation of the recent Peshawar disturbances, which the government talked to. The official government inquiry into the riots now has been concluded, the committee announced.
BRITISH CONSULATE IS FIRED MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, June 4. The authorities were investigating today a demonstration here against the British government in connection with the disorders in India. The wooden door of the British consulate at Montevideo was damaged slightly when unidentified persons set fire to it, using benzine. Posters protesting against the British government's activities to suppress the civil disobience movement in India were posted on walls facing the consulate.
CALCUTTA, June 6. Civil disobedience leaders in Bangalore are preparing to carry on the All India National Congress Mandate which mapped out the plan for Bangal and the United Provinces, directing the villages to refuse to pay the village watchman's tax, thus crippling the government. The government is alarmed that the threat will be made good and successful.
An enterprising American correspondent, Mr. Webb Miller, sent the following revealing dispatch to His headquarters.
The consensus of numerous Indian leaders of widely varying schools of political thought is as follows:
(1) That the government is confronted with the most difficult situation in India since the great mutiny of 1857.
(2) That the political agitation has reached a comparatively greater depth than the outbreaks of 1920 and 1921.
(3) That the present movement is based on definite national and racial aspirations toward self-government which cannot be Indefinitely suppressed by force.
The majority of these leaders favor peaceful negotiations with the British government regarding India's future status, but all agree on one point: that unless the definite objective of the proposed round table conference next fall between British and Indian delegates is a form of dominion status, the conference will collapse.
Many of those interviewed expressed fear that unless such an objective is announced for the conference the situation progressively will become worse, and the extremist wing of the congress movement will break away from Mahatma Gandhi's civil obedience campaign and inaugurate a definite campaign of violence:
Armed Crimping Att of Some
Several of the most ardent supporters of the imprisoned Mahatma's non-poisoned creed 'professed to believe that the extremists already are imminent attackers of Gandhiji's scheme and are preparing violence to replace it. The discovery of a bomb factory at Lahore and two armed fists at Chittagong lend color to their opinion. One congress leader at Calcutta claimed knowledge that extremists have been trying to obtain revolvers and ammunition from the crews of incoming ships on the Hooghly River, Calcutta's seaway.
Satish Chandra Das Gupta, leader of the Bengal volunteers, received me at the headquarters of the civil disobedience campaign in Calcutta. He quashed on a floor mat, clad only in a homepun loin cloth. His head was shaved, except for a turt of hair at the back. Gupta, a young chemical engineer who abandoned his business eight years ago to devote his life to Gandhi's campaign, said he feared the Bengal extremists who were becoming restless at the slowness of the campaign's progress.
"I believe that if things go on like this," he said, "the Swarajists (Independent workers) will soon commence active violence by attempting to cut telegraph wires and interrupt railway communication. Some feel such action would effectively harm the government and that they could execute such projects."

Loyal supporters of Gandhi deplore
every impulse toward violent revolution and profess to believe his creed that violence would be ineffective because of the government's overwhelming strength. They still believe in massed non-violent civil disobedience and boycots as the Swarajist' only weapon. But it can readily be recalled that the extreme wing disagreed with this program from the outset and promised to withhold its land only a limited time unless Gandhi achieved results.

S. B. Simmons, state supervisor of Negro vocational agriculture, returned last Monday from Washington with news of the victory of the North Carolina group of boys who entered the regional crop and stock judging contest.
The state team scored 2,630 points for win, South Carolina coming second with 2,333 and Virginia third. North Carolina placed the two highest scores in Frank Broadax, Rich Square, with 913 out of a possible thousand points, and William Cooper, Burlington, scoring 891.

ATLANTA, June 12. Pointing to four lynchings in the South in nearly weeks, the Commission on Interracial Cooperation in a statement today placed responsibility for the mob violence on "official neglect and local religious indifference."
Declaring that "American lynchings probably do more than anything else to discredit Christianity at home and abroad," the statement said that a study of mob outbreaks over a period of years had convinced the commission that "preachers and officers of the law can and lynchings whenever they determine to do so, and in the meantime cannot escape definite responsibility."
"Practically every lynching means that some officer has neglected his duty or surrendered to the mob," the statement continued. "Reasonable vigilance would have prevented most of them. The two latest lynchings illustrate this fact."
"At Washalla, S. C., threatening mobs gathered on two nights preceding the lynching, yet no effort was made to remove the prisoner or to provide adequate protection for the jail.
"At Sherman, Texas, the sheriff, the police, the famous Texas Rangers and finally the National Guard were all on the scene, and all failed to make any effective resistance."
Filipinos May Ohtain Freedom
(Continued from Page One)
the Administration, as has been shown by testimony of Henry L. Sinson, Secretary of State, and letter from J. Holley, Secretary of War and recent developments have indicated that Filipino leaders who have been talking-most freely for immediate independence are now apprehensive, jest the islands be turnedadrift.
The vote in the committee today was: For the bill—Nye. Cutting, Publicarians; Pittman, Harris, Broussard, Hayden, Tydings, Hawes, Democrats—8. Against the bill—Bingham, Robinson, of Indiana, Metcalf, Goff, Republicans—4. Absent and not voting—Johnson and Vandenberg, Republicans—2.
Other measures before the committee were voted down, including the Singh investigation by a commission.
The bill ordered reported today would provide for a convention to frame a constitution and its submission to the Filipino people for approval; for approval or disapproval by the Congress of the United States; for trade relations with the United States spending complete independence; and for withdrawal of all sovereignty by the United States after five years.
The existing Philippines government would terminate after adoption of a constitution and election of officers thereunder. For one year there would be free trade between the islands and the United States; in the second year, the rates would be 25 per cent of the general tariff rates; in the third year they would be 50 per cent; the fourth, 75 per cent, and in the fifth and thereafter 100 per cent of general tariff rates. Among the provinces in the bill is that the government is to have lands necessary for coaling or naval stations. In the minority report, Senator Bingham and others will take the position that not less than thirty years is necessary as a period of preparation for self-government.
SPRINGFIELD, EL.-At the Macon Hall, final primary political gathering, sponsored by the Colored G. P. which was a very representative meeting, all candidates on the regular ticket recognized the fact that the colored vote is potential and a factor, when solidly cast, for any one group, and plied, each to see that the colored people are not only given just treatment, but that they should and would, get their ratio prorate of the recognition in the form of employment. Mr. Wanless and Mr. Fish, declared that the colored vote is the balance of power, which is true, that is to say that whoever and whichever, party or group, gets the solid Negro vote, is sure of election. The reason of this is obvious. There are enough colored votes to over balance the difference between the relative political strength of the two parties. Democratic and Republican. This is not only true in Springfield, but also in Chicago and many other cities and states. If the colored man had his political right enforced, the same would be true in the nation, and yet there are colored people who do not realise their strength. This comes about on account of ignorance and the lack of understanding, the fundamental principles of government and its methods of procedure.
Before a Supreme Court appointee can be affirmed the Senate must, so state; and the colored man, through his sovereign rights may prevent a confirmation as is shown in the case of Judge Parker, against whom the N. A. A. C. P. has filed protest—so also has the organized labor. And conversely the Negro has power to assist in such confirmation by his endorsement of candidates, as is shown by Dr. Shepherd, a college president of North Carolina, who comes to Judge Parker's recourse. Were endorsed by Buckner T. Washington and on that endorsement, President Reeves made the appointment.

was stabbed by Mr. Knox, getting nervous to stay alone, went after her hanging her to stay with him, soaking his opportunity. Mr. Strong rushed in and laughed the door. Mr. Knox cursed Mack, and flinched the door and broke the latch.
Knox Threatened to Blow Off
As soon as he rushed the door Mr. Knox made at Mr. Strong and threatened "What the hell are you doing here? Get the hell out or I'll blow your head off," and he was nourishing his big ugly gun. Mr. Strong tried to grab the gun before he was blown off.
A duel ensued. In the struggle Mr. Strong's hand was severely injured. He managed to roll with Knox to the window and howl for help. And a police officer quickly came to his aid.
A .45 Calibre Gun
When the police officer came in he saw Mr. Knox holding a .45 calibre gun in his right hand and Mr. Strong holding on to Knox's right hand to ward off the gun-shot. The officer quickly grabbed Knox's gun which was fully loaded and snatched it away and put him under arrest.
Sought to Defame Garvey
In his cross examination, Mr. Knox's attorney wanted to know if Mr. Strong had a lead pipe in his pocket. He wanted the magistrate to believe that Mr. Knox was acting in self-defense. Both Mr. Strong and the police gave a line to that line of defense.
Seeing that, he was losing his ground, Knox's counsel went back to his stock excuse, of defending Hon. Marcus Garvey, Mr. Strong belonged, he moved, to the Garvey "clique." He asked if Mr. Strong had any animosity toward Mr. Knox, to which Mr. Strong said he had not. Strong simply wanted to keep Mr. Knox out of the Negro World office, because he had strict orders from his superior Mr. Salitus to do so. And he carried out his orders.
Big Crowd in Court
Mr. Knox's attorney continued to say that his client was an "international figure" and that he was, the "first President-General." At this a big crowd of Garveyites which was overflowing the court began to rattle in protest. One actually shouted, "No, he is not."
There was a great murmur in the court room when Knox's counsel repeated that Mr. Garvey was deported, etc. Counsel for the Negro World objected vigorously.
Negro World's Able Lawyer
Mr. Rudolph L. Cherurg of Cherurg and Cherurg, 120 West, 42nd Street, New York City, cut Mr. Knox's attorney's line of defense short very briskly. He objected empathetically and told the court that international politics and the personality of the great Martin Garvey should not be brought in, for they had no bearing on the case. The real question was whether Mr. Knox was guilty of the assault charge. The judge sustained the objection.
Ball Increased to $2,000
The judge held Mr. Knox for the Grand Jury on a bond bill of $1,500 for the assault charge and also on $500 bail for the illegal possession of a gun before the Special Sessions court. The latter charge was pressed by Mr. Cherurg representing the people of the State of New York.
Mr. Cherurg asked the court to take up the case of disorder conduct charge against Mr. Saltus. "Is it in the same connection?" the court asked. "Yes, your honor," answered Mr. Cherurg. "Dismissed!" said the court with such a gesture--that it made the place newspaper reporter's smile. The charge wasn't even heard.

Italian Project.
Simultaneously with Benito Mussolini's fiery speeches at Florence and Leghern, the Fascist press has burst out with demands that the Fascist government develop a route to the south through Tripoli to Take Tehad, which is a pivotal strategic point in equatorial Africa; aside from being the shortest line.
Technical experts assert that the trans-Saharan route to the Niger River can be completed in less than five years with improved methods of track laying. They propose the use of oil-burning engines using fuel obtained from local plant life, linking up with the French colonial empire rij system at Timbuckloo, the trans-Saharan would give a direct connection at Orp across the narrow part of the Mediterranean with the French ports of Port Vendres and Marseilles.
Spain Watching
Spain is watching the rivalry closely and is preparing herself to seize some of this important traffic by constructing a standard gauge line from Algeria-Ghribal-Straits north through Madrid-to Bordeaux, France. But the Spanish ambition will be thwarted by the fact that Tangier is the sole Mediterranean port available that is internationalized and Spanish Morocco is entirely hemmed around by the French colony. The Madrid government is saving the possibility of tunneling under the Straits of Gibraltar for through traffic without changing cars. But this is considered financially impractical as present.
The Rev. D. C. Theusman, a seventh Day Adventist minister of Cape Town, South Africa, passed through Kansas City Wednesday on his way to San Francisco for the quadrennial conference of his church.
Now, at first, you might think the Rev. Mr. Theusman, by having from South Africa, would be a black native or a white native African. He is neither. He is what he calls "Cape Colored."
"We have three distinct, layers of society in South Africa," said Mr. Theusman. "the whites, the colored people and the natives. There are about 750,000 of us colored people. We have less privileges than the whites and more than the natives. It is not like your country in which I am so much interested."
Mr. Theumissen is of Dutch descent. This is his first trip to America. He said he was delighted with the evidences of progress by colored people and stated that he could see little to complain about in Kansas City as colored people had fine homes, autogi mobiles and other comforts and luxuries. He said he knew that while Negroes in America are much better off than Negroes elsewhere in the world, they were constantly striving to reach the American, white standards of living rather than comparing themselves to other standards in other lands. Mr. Theumissen said he was a man of peace who loved his people and has raised four children to be proud of their race.
