The Negro World

A Primer of Negro History Prepared for White Folks By a White Educator Popular Fallacies About Negro Race Exposed Boldly, Intelligently NO CURSE OF GOD Negro's Intelligence and Ability Are Unquestionable By ROBERT B. ELEAZER (Educational Director of the Com- mission on interracial Cooperation) Yes, like measles, everybody has to have them, even the best of us. There the analogy ends, however, for most folks get over measles pretty promptly. Nobody wants to go around speckled forever with a million red bumps. And one would think that nobody would want to go through life with his mind bumpy with misinformation and inflamed with bad feeling concerning his fellow men. Yet lots of people do just that. No Curse of God 1. For example, a college student gravely informed me the other day that God turned one of Noah's sons black and sentenced his descendants to perpetual servitude. He spent half an hour searching the Bible to prove it. He didn't find it, of course, for the Bible says nothing of the king. There is no suggestion that God cursed anybody or that anybody was turned black. (Read Genesis 9 and see for yourself.) The scientists tell us that our color variations are due to the influence of climate and environment working through long ages. Probably we were all red at first; the name Adam means "red earth," you know. Then these of us who (Continued on Page Eight) Abd-el-Crim Moroccan Hero The Great Fighter That Defied France and Spain Combined EXILED TO ISLAND Most of us seem to have forgotten the glorious character who fought so valiantly and saguciously all the scientific appliances at the command of the French government withdrawn from the battlefronts of Verdun and Marne, so persistently and efficienclly for a considerable time; doing away with some of France's best men and machines of war. We have recently come in touch with "Le Estampin", a graphic magazine of Madrid, dated 21st October, in which we find our great fighting hero spending his time in exile at the island of Bourbon, in a beautiful mansion, about a mile from St. Denis, the capital of the island. Abd el-Crim is constantly guarded by two French officers. His household consists of thirty persons, comprising his two wives, five children, an uncle, a brother, who is an engineer from the Madrid School of Engineering, a private secretary, and his servants. All these persons reside in his residence and are supported by a pension allowed him by the French government, supplied from the funds of the French protectorate of Morocco, at which place Crim was vanquished by arms and sent to Bourbon Island as an exile. Bourbon is an island of about two thousand square miles of territory, with a population of about 200,000 souls, so very different from what St. Helena was to Napoleon. Abdel-Crim lives in luxury on his island home, full of luxuriant vegetable growth, among which he spends his Live Agents TO SELL THE NEGRO WORLD IT MATTERS NOT wants Ken as if you want to immigrate this浸教国 RACE WEEKLY A lot should write in the our team competition.

WHERE—Christian Baye THE NEGRO WORLD is our greatest challenge throughout the world. The President General's Articles More Prominent The Negro World is glad to announce that from next week, the President-General's message will be given still more prominence, which it undoubtedly derives. The editorial feels that the writings of Mr. Garvey are as prominent, as incisive, as inspiring, if not more so, as those of white writers like Heywood Brown, Arthur Brisbane and others. It is our belief that Mr. Garvey is the most outstanding Negro thinker of the day and an immortal columnist. Therefore, his articles will appear, from next week, at the left-hand side of the front-page, set to DOUBLE COLUMN and thus given the prominence they deserve. HALF RAIL INTEREST Greeks, Arabs and Indians on Scene for Commercial Advantages BY MARY HINES HALL "Peaceful Penetration" into unexploitated countries is much less cruel than the rough neck military incursions of years ago. That is especially true of Ethiopia, where there is a slowly-growing group which realizes the necessity of some form of cooperation with foreigners. The country in being slowly drained of its natural resources; concessions are being granted for long terms on many government, mines and properties; monopolies are yielded in abundance, restricting the manufacture or sale of certain commodities to the one holding the monopoly right. French Control Post offices The post offices of the country are controlled by the French. The Italians control the telegraph and telephone systems. An Ithian company has 'the monopoly on soda water. Greeks have a monopoly on the exportation of hides and skins. Other monopolies have been granted on coffee, some of the best in the world being grown in the Kafzee country of Ethiopia. French and Ethiopians jointly control the only railroad of which there are 500 miles of trackage, and the Negro Judges Will Be Inducted Jan. 2 Justice-elect James S. Watson and Charles Kenevy, to be inaugurated. The most impressive public exercise in which the Negroes of Harlem have participated will mark the induction into office, at the end of this month, of the newly-elected Municipal Court Justices, Charles E. Toney and James S. Watson. President Justice Timothy A. Leary announced today that present plans call for ceremonies at the Washington Heights courthouse, 151st street near Amsterdam avenue, on January 2, for Justice-elect Toney, and on January 5, for Justice-elect Watson. It is expected that the new Tenth District courthouse at 125th street and Fifth avenue, will be ready shortly after January 1, and Justice Watson will probably preside there first. Justice Toney will probably begin his judicial career presiding in the Second District Court in Lower Manhattan. Europeans in India For Dominion Status BOMBAY. Dec. 22. A poll conducted by the Times of India among non-official Europeans in the country shows that 40 per cent of these latter constituents intend for India. The question asked was whether European citizens should be granted to the country with a responsible government, in the election and with self-government for each nation in the army, navy, army, the government and the government owning production. The answer and result will be published in the Times of India on December 23.

Great Ark The U. N. I. A., the great ark of safety, has been floating on its course around the world, and at every port where it found an anchorage, the sentiments and principles conveyed, have been accepted by the people: It is for us to now determine among ourselves to what extent we will put forward these principles so that they may be realized for the good and glory of our cause. Renewed Life The Christmas season is one of renewed life, because it brings the inspiration of the great Spirit whose birth is commemorated in the universal anniversary of Xmas. We are hoping that the four hundred million Negroes of the world are in all seriousness, at this season of the year, thinking of the common duty and responsibility that devolves upon us. We have written so often with the hope of inspiring The President General In. Official Robes each and every one to this responsibility and duty, but in the great number, only a few have responded with the spirit that will make our work not only successful, but entirely triumphant. New Energy We want new life and new energy to push forth this great cause, and we can solicit it at no better season than at Christmas time. Those who have followed the career of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must admit that it is an ever growing force. There have been many difficulties and trials surrounding the Movement, but the very fact that we have survived shows and proves the merit of the great cause. Men have come and men have gone to their relationship with the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but there is one thing that we must admit, and that is that its mighty principles move continually on. We have to thank these loyal-hearted members and followers who have kept the fire burning. It is through their unswerving duty that we have been able to keep the colour flying; and it will be through such continuous support that we will see the growing glory of all our work. We feel sure that when history is to be written, the loyal and true workers of the U. N. L. A. will not be omitted in the cataloguing of racial development. Convention Year We are looking forward to a new Convention year, one that will record a new spirit in the Cause Afric. It is hoped, then, that just at this time every one who is deeply interested in the U. N. L. A. will make up his and her mind to either directly or indirectly do something for this great forthcoming event. The Parent Body of the U. N. L. A. has had tremendous responsibilities to keep the sentiment of the Organization alive during the year. A large number of Divisions and Chapters—those that have been under the direction of disloyal officers, have not responded as they should to their constitutional obligations in keeping the Parent Body in such a financial state as to enable us to do the big work given us by the Convention. It is hoped that this will be remedied by the members of the different Chapters, Divisions and Garvey Clubs, by understanding that the Parent Organization can do nothing without the assistance of the Divisions, Chapters and Branches of the Organization. And when it is considered that even revenue that is intended for the Parent Body has been used by certain individuals, it is all the more impossible for us to carry on the work that has been given us. We hope this will not be done in the future, as has been done in the past. Cheer For All Let Christmas bring us cheer with hope and determination to do much more than we have ever done for the great Cause Afric. To members of the U. N. L. A., friends, sympathizers and supporters, I extend my personal best wishes for a Happy Christmas. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be P. S.—Now that the year is about to close, we are asking all Divisions, Branches, Chapters and Garvey Clubs of the U. N. I. A., to see that their financial reports are forwarded to the Parent Body regularly so as to have a clean sheet for the new year. Divisions should realize that without their support, the Parent Body cannot carry out the programme to which we have all pledged. Every member should realize this also thereby insisting that the reports are made. Several Divisions have not forwarded their annual assessment tax of 1830; we are asking that you do so before the close of the year.

Urge Negroes to Observe "Liberators" Centenary At the suggestion of Prof. Dengue Honorary of St. John University, colored people throughout the United States are urged to observe the 100- year anniversary, next January 2, of the foundation of William Lloyd Garrison "How can you ball yourself with only seven shillings, taken from your pocket?" he inquired. "Seven shillings is what you found, but I have more than that." I said. "How much have you got?" he demanded. "I have ten pounds on me and nearly two hundred pounds back pay on the ship." I said, as I removed the ten guilders from a secret pocket I had dugged and handed them to him. "Well, with his guard," I said, putting the money into the secret pocket. African Experiences Some Unpleasant Episodes of White Justice in South Africa Graphically Described By J.

The Loyal-Hearted The Struggling Masses Would Become Garveyite If Garveyism Is Constructive—It's Nothing But By H. S. PITTS I do not know, officially, the full scope of the Garvey program, and to date I am not a member of the organization, but I certainly am a very warm sympathizer of the movement. I am such because as far as I am able to see from without, it looks good. I cannot be made to believe that Mr. Garvey planned to move the Negro masses from America to Africa as the anti-Garvey propagandist have said. That one clings with bulldog tenacity to that for which he has suffered most is a tendency as old as humanity. Our right in America was not given to us as it was given to our more fortunate brethren. We paid dearly for it. We gave our children, our prayers, our blood and our lives, our many and womanly piety and our social identity that we might have a right in this country. America is once by reason of more rights than any other once our state. The coming which we hold brought alienation to us. I shall Excelsior, Royal Guards Divisions of New York Bury Hatchets and Unite Xmas Message From DePriest, Wilson et al The Negro World has been fortunate in securing Christmas Messages from some of the most prominent Negroes in the United States. Among them are Hon. Oscar de Priest, the only Negro Congressman in the House of Representatives at Washington, who is one of the very gifted, practical statesmen today. Hon. Finley Wilson, the fearless and courageous leader of American Negro Elks, and Rev. Dr. R. R. Porter, one of the independent spiritual thinkers among the race. Dr. Robert M. Moton of Tuskegee was unable to send our readers his greetings due to his ill health. We wish him speedy recovery. Our readers will find Mr. De Priest and Dr. Porter's messages on page six, and that of Mr. Wilson on page two. The Negro World thanks these prominent men for their messages to our readers and wishes them a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Fruitful Year. Supermen in South Africa 30,000 Years Ago a Remarkable Negro Race Flourished There HAD BIGGEST BRAINS Knew Art of Good Life, Were Master Creators of Beauty Thirty thousand years ago there lived a race of supermen, undoubtedly unnamed Negroes, in South Africa, the kind of supermen that the Shawas, Wellsop, and other visionaries expect to see in the distant future. They had brains, weighing 1,700 cubic centimeters, 200 more than the average European's of today. And they used these brains to produce a marvelous art and to live their lives with the greatest roll and rest. All this has been conceded by Sir Arthur Keith, the English anthropologist, who a few weeks ago contended that Africa was the cradle of mankind. These supermen of South Africa were people of exceptional endowments. They were big-headed, small-faced, boy-like in form and body. Their type of culture was ultra-modern. They had an exceptional genius for art, which they have perpetuated and left a legacy of in the (Continued on Page 158) New Revelations Is the Negro a National Asset or Liability to America?—The Topic Announced for early publication is a new book which promises to be a sensation. The title of the work is "Negro—a National Asset or Liability?" The author is Dr. John Louis Hill, internationally famous white writer, with one other book about the Negro to his credit, "When Black Meets White." Some of the arresting subjects discussed in Dr. Hill's new book are: 1. That the original ancestors of the people known as Negroes were not black. 2. That although more than one-tenth of the population of the United States is made up "Negroes," more than one-half of this one-tenth is more white than black. 3.—That everything distinctively "American" in music, art, literature, and homely philosophy had its origin directly or indirectly with the Negro. 4.—That Negroes in this country know much more about white people than white folk know about Negroes. 5.—That the Negro is essential to the successful economic life of this nation to the immediate future. 6.—That all Negroes will turn white if they continue to abide in this climate and civilization. 7.—That Negroes would only have it absolutely within their power to determine the next movement of the White House. Dr. Hill will also discuss "Historical Sampling" in the University's weekly for free on Sunday and will share more with you. First Fruits of Unity Conference; Most Garveyites Want Unity MRS. CAPERS BALKS She Opposes Majority of Garvey Club Members and Officers (By Our Own Correspondent) The Unity Conference that was set in motion on December 4 by Mr. H. G. Mudgal, the editor of The Negro World, has at last borne first fruits in the form of unity among the Excelsior and Royal Guards Divisions. Interviewed by our special staff, Mr. Mudgal, who was in a highly optimistic mood, said: "This is only the beginning, you know. Like all things that are weakened by internal conflict, the business of uniting the various factions of the U. N. I. A. in the city of New York takes time. I am glad to report that the presidents of the Excelsior and Royal Guards Divisions were patriotic and far-going enough to recognize the value of unity and have come together without any squabble. I congratulate them and cite them as an example to all other local leaders in the U. N. I. A. movement the world over." The acting president of the Excelsior Division is Col. L. E. Harrigan, and the acting president of the Royal Guards is Major H. D. Woodley. The following resolution was unanimously adopted by the officers of the two divisions on Friday, Dec. 12. Whereas the psychological aid for the progressive consolidation of the U. N. I. A. movement is now ripe EVIDENCE IS PLAIN LYNCHBURG, Va.—Lorenzo S. Greene, research investigator for the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, addressed the teachers and students of Lynchburg Theological Seminary at Lynchburg, Va. Tuesday, Mr. Greene told his audience that the widespread ignorance the world over concerning the Negro past, the omission of anything creditable concerning him in text books and other literature, the willful suppression of known facts, and the engendering of deliberate propaganda under the guise of history calculated to demean and to debase the Negro not only in the eyes of the world, but, of the Negro himself, has made the study and circulation of the real facts of Negro history imperative. Mr. Greene refuted many accepted erroneous theories concerning the Negro, much to the delight of his listeners. He dispelled the notion that the Negro had his beginnings in slavery by narrating the rich heritage of the Negro in Africa before the destruction of the great Negro kingdoms there following the beginning of the slave trade. He also took issue with the current theory that the Negro has always lacked pioneering spirit, by pointing out that recent investigation has shown that Negroes actually visited America long before Columbus and had left here as evidences of their coming such highly prized commodities as cotton, tobacco, and yams. It is also common knowledge, the speaker added, that Negroes accompanied all the Spanish explorers in their colonization of North and South America. They were with Pizzaro in Peru, with Cortes in Mexico. He Soto upon his discovery of the Mississippi, with Ponce de Leon in Florida, and with Coronado in New Mexico, Arizona, and other parts of what is now the Southwestern United States. The speaker further stated that the theory that the Nagas cannot compete intellectually with the elites race is an idle skeleton founded on prejudice and ignorance inherent in the great war such as financial advantage or power.

The day was an ideal one and the program excellent. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Walter Woods, president. Mr. Elliott Holloway acted as master of cordellions. The items of merit presented on the program was as follows: Juvenile department, which was very interesting; a saxophone solo by Miss Nelline Smith, entitled "The Rosary"; was excellently executed; the current topics covering world affairs was ably read and commented on by Mr. G. E. Inman, the topics were very instructive and interesting; a piano selection entitled "Song. Without Words" was beautifully rendered by Mrs. B.

The offering of the day was next taken after which the speaker of the day in the person of Dr. W. C. Hamilton, was presented, and spoke from the subject "Modern Educational Needs of the Negro." The learned doctor said in part: "With the constant changes of the times it becomes necessary for us to change our methods of education to meet the modern needs of the Negro." In supplying an education like Now, it is a successful meeting. ```markdown ``` (Continued from Page One) up twenty pounds bail on charge like this. "Why?" said I, "It is not a felony if anything at all and does not come under the criminal offence procedure laws. It is a common misdemeanor and is covered by the simple offences ordinance that entitles the accused to bail on a minimum amount of five shillings and a minimum of five pounds sterling." "You seem to be some kind of a lawyer but this" is South Africa where we don't have nigger lawyers—we will notify your ship in time—"put him in the lockup," he commanded the native police, finally. The two native officers took the gently by the arm; and led me to a cell, out of sight of the desk officer, locking the door behind me gently. They both came to the bar and tried to converse, with me but, we could not understand each other. They then whispered to each other in conversation and from the way they handed me and looked at me and the expressions on their face, I could see that they were both in sympathy with me and recognized me as one of their own. I slept all night on a hard concrete floor with a stained concrete beam as my pillow. The next morning a native officer brought me some hard biscuits that seemed to have been made of cement and flour and some warm liquid in an old tin can that was neither tea, coffee nor cocoa, at 8 a. m, which I cast aside, contemptuously. At 10 a. m I was removed from the cell and handcuffed to a native Kafti prisoner and a large group of us were marched through the streets in this manner to the city court for trial. "Joseph Milton Batson, you are charged here with obstruction by blocking the white traffic on the sidewalk and refusing to remove when ordered to do, so, by the police"—was the charge the clerk called out. "Are you guilty, or not guilty?" "Not guilty," I said. "Do you wish to engage a lawyer?" I was asked. "Do you elect to give evidence upon oath or to make an open statement," was the next question. "An open statement," I said. "Why not evidence upon oath?" he demanded. DONATIONS DONORS TO THE NEGRO WORLD Natches, Misa., D.V. No. 133. .5.00 Leopold Armstrong, Bklyn. N.

There is a practice that is becoming prevalent among our youths of today—the urge of making money—which was in most cases differential to the completion of the boy or girl's education. There was too much of a rush after the dollar by boys and girls who should be more zealously engaged in securing a thorough education to meet the modern needs of the times. "Too many of our boys and girls were leaving the schools of the country every year, believing that they were qualified enough to do certain things, but they were sadly disappointed when the test of the modern world was applied. The results are that many a boy and girl are thereby left educationally unfitted to make their living in the world." The speaker closed, his inspiring and instructive address with a moving appeal to the parents to do all in their power to assist their children to acquire a thorough education and one that will meet the needs of modern times. The doctor was given great applause for his able and intellectually inspiring address. The appeal for new members was ably made by Mr. E. Holloway. The announcements were given out. The Ethiopian National Anthem was sung and the benediction monologue, glorifying a successful meeting. my choice?" I said. The Dutch politician was then called upon to state his case. He was a direct descendant of Ananias. As he completed his "corte of unicombo" I was called upon to defend myself. I told the court that under the laws of the flag I observed on the masthead of the court the offence "obstruction" was defined thus: "Any person or person who places or causes to be placed, any goods, articles or obstacles in any public place or public thoroughfare enduring the 'public safety, commits an obstruction.' I was neither good, an article or an obstacle, but merely a British subject who had walked around Buckingham Palace on many occasions, walked through and attended divine services at both Saint Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, spoke personally to Earl Kitchener of Khartoum and to Mr. Lloyd George when he was at the board of trade and who had let his own family behind unprotected in South America to come and defend the King and his subjects in South Africa, where he discovered to his great shock and surprise he could not even walk on the sidewalk in defending them. If the flag on the masthead was the same as the one I saw over Buckingham Palace and the adultery then, it is obvious a prima facie case has not been made out and I therefore asked to be dismissed."

The president, Mr. S. Ashby, who occupied the chair, made the opening address, after which the meeting was turned over to the master of ceremonies, Mr. J. B. Eaton.

A remarkable sermon was preached by the Rev. Junken. He kept his audience spellbound, and surely their food for thought. President C. Marshall was read by Mr. J. N. Hudson, which was followed with the singing of the President's Hymn. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. "Peace on Earth Good Will to Men" By LESTER B. SHAW Moran, Cuba When God has seen that man has fallen deep into sin from his spiritual kinship to his Creator, that even the very Angels and the Holy One are disgusted, that sprang up a Divine sympathy, that within the Trinity handed the Son to Jesus to assure Himself as the Redeemer of the world. "As the Angels flashed the news around, and with the praise, 'PEACE ON EARTH GOOD WILL TO MEN,' for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour which in Christ the Lord, and as he betook to Himself, with the authority of His Father, the duty, the work, the sacrifice, to bring the man near to his Creator. He was born as we are told, in that stable of Bethlehem, and now journeyed from Far and near to see the Bible Christ. To some this birth was a disappointment, because He was born lovely. The race to which he was to be born, expected a life rage in pomp and glory, and when He came into a manner they were disappointed; they were disgusted and, said He; we was not the Christ, and the lowly babe grew up amid prejudice, lived amid prejudice, and died amid prejudice so as to redeem the world. And as it comes to the time when the babe did come into this world, for no other reason but to suffer and die for mankind, and as Christ had brought that mission of love to the world, it is for us to pattern Him and follow His footsteps as He has taught His disciples love one another. And we must love one another even as Christ loved us. He did not go exclusively to the chasees. He devoted His life to all, and while we commemorate the birth of the Christ, we must bear in mind the sufferings He underwent, for the purpose of carrying out completely His mission—the mission that brought Him down from Heaven to earth. He came to save a sinful world and He was rejected, and even at the last hour, when He was about to leave the world, after doing so much good, He had not even twelve men who were honest enough to profess the faith or to show as faithful converts, even when He was the Son of God. So my dear readers we can just gather from the life of Christ, who is said to be the first greatest Reformer, the state of man's mind. That proves to me that man has not changed much since Christ was here. But it behooves us as a people to follow the teachings of Jesus The Christ with love and truth, and we too may say as the wise men, "Where is He that is born King of the Jews, for we have seen the star in the east and we are come to worship HIM." The alleged gangster leader, Capone, seems to mean to stay in Florida and enjoy the comforts of his palatial home, ruggedness of expert cozy. It's bigger, about a fellow golfing more health out of the game he pays for five, instead of for his health.

XXVIII. NEW YORK, DECEMBER 27, 1930 No. 21 A Merry Christmas to You THE NEGRO WORLD extends the season's greetings to all its readers, contributors, supporters and sympathizers all over the world. With the continued support and interest of all awakened Negroes everywhere we are hoping to better serve the Race throughout the coming year and fight their battles with courage and foresight. May we seek your cooperation, moral, material and spiritual, in our mission of service? God Give Us Men at the beginning the immortal line Holland, which runs thus: as men. The time demands its strong hearts, true faith and the lust of office does not kill; the spoils of office cannot buy; possess opinions and a will; have honour, men who will not live can stand before a demagogue this treacherous flatteries without an unwrown, who live above the fortune and in private thinking! be rabble with their thumb-worn professions and their little deeds selfish strife: Lo!

N. I. A. M. Movement, needing all the culture, in its command. But the ignorant intrigue to chase away all the inside the organization. in pointed out, the U. N. I. A. M. Psychologically there never was loss of the Garvey Movement than native that the insincere, unintelligent for the sincere, intelligent and coy now needs, what the U. N. I. A. N, and yes! GOOD WOMEN? LET US quote in the beginning the immortal lines of that great, fiery poet, J. G. Holland, which runs thus: "God give us men. The time demands Strong minds, strong hearts, true faith and willing hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honour, men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking; Tall men, sun-rowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking! For while the rabble with their thumbworn creeds, Their large professions and their little deeds Mingle in selfish strife: Lo! Freedom sweeps! Wrong rules the land and waiting justice sleeps!" The tragedy of the Garvey movement, or of any other Negro movement for that matter, is that men and women, supposedly honest, sincere and patriotic, soon turn out to be traitors to the cause they espouse and to their race. These supposed leaders soon reveal themselves to be the lowest of the rabble and more willing to "mingle in selfish strife" and even to encourage and foster it. Marcus Garvey has been seeking for the last fifteen years men and women who are sincere, honest, really intelligent, courageous and with strong convictions, but in vain, to help him carry out his splendid ideals for the Redemption of the Negro Race and Africa. These men and women that came forth to "help" Mr. Garvey have so far proved to be nothing but champions, the champion turn-coats. Isn't it a matter for profound sorrow that men and women who are entrusted with the sacred duty of leading the organized Negroes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of August, 1929, of the World, both in the local and national fields, are acting to foster designedly more and more factions, instead of trying to riffle them? Isn't it damnable that these supposed leaders should deliberate hinder all attempts at UNITY2? Isn't it a curse upon the Negro everywhere that their supposed guides should be set to mislead the Chief at Kingston by giving him wrong information? The Negro World has repeatedly warned the rank and file to beware of these leaders who are trying to feed more ignorance to the ignorant, instead of carrying to them same light, by their historic stunts and vande-ville tricks?. Such leaders are, besides being insincere, persons of limited intelligence, not knowing that the U. N. I. A. Movement is an international political movement, needing all the culture, intelligence, diplomacy and statesmanship at its command. But the ignorant leaders, not knowing the asset of culture, intrigue to chase away all the intelligent, honest and sincere workers from the organization. As has been often pointed out, the U. N. I. A. Movement has arrived at the cross-roads. Psychologically, there never was a more opportune moment for the success of the Garvey Movement than now. It is therefore more than imperative that the insincere, unintelligent and incompetent should make room for the sincere, intelligent and competent leaders in the field. What Mr. Garvey now needs, what the U. N. I. A. Movement now needs is GOOD MEN, and yes! GOOD WOMEN! Ring Out the Old merrily moving on, careless of the have made and delight in, careless of through. Time seems to be indict or, accomplish, feel at, or worrying that we, human beings, are forever the whims or lack of whimual unto God for the very reason with all sorts of petty and grand KING TIME is merrily moving on, careless of the progress that we, human beings have made and delight in, careless of the sufferings and agonies we are going through. Time seems to be indifferent to everything we cherish, aspire for, accomplish, freet at, or worry about. But the fact remains that we, human beings, are directly concerned in our own interest whatever the whims or lack of whims of Time, Destiny or God. Man is equal unto God for the very reason that he keeps on concerning himself with all sorts of petty and grand things in spite of Time, Destiny and God. As 1930 is passing into oblivion it is fit to see how the Negro has fared during this time, so that he can make proper plans for 1931 in order to curve himself security, if not actually a name. The Negroes in the United States have passed through a very anxious twelve months during 1930. And so have done the Negroes in Africa, in the West Indies, in Central and South Americas. They have borne the brunt of the world economic depression, being the first to be fired as they will be the last to be hired. The Negroes in the United States especially have gone through frightful agony, due to the increased ferocity and savagery of the white lynching mobs in the South. It serves no purpose to record the list of then; innocent in most cases, who have paid too great a price to appease the savage nature of some human brutes. On the credit side, however, we have the general awakening of the Negro the world over. In Africa he is stirring and organizing himself to throw off the white man's burden. He is seriously thinking of defying the European imperialism by refusing to per the insidious POLL TAX. This movement is still being organized and will reveal its strength in the near future. The Negro in the United States is showing signs of really understanding the nature of his problems for the first time. He now acknowledges that the only solution for his ills lies in creating an economic and industrial strength for himself. The first political step he has taken in the realization of this new outlook is the campaign of "Do not spend where you can. nor work," and the weapon used, though a negative one, is effective keycon. So far an good. The Negro World will carefully watch all the developments among the Negroes wherever they may be and report them carefully and interpret them constructively.

If they succeed at all they do so at a terrific cost to LIFE itself. And communism in Russia is a good illustration. Not only life but even common sense is being sacrificed to the Molloch of, "Communist Doctrines." But let the "God of Communism" not rejoice because victims are slaughtered at his altar. For it is not this God but the one who slaughters is supreme. As events have proved the control of the communist party is now rapidly passing into the hands of one man, Scalin. He, as his name suggests, wants to rule Russia in his own rights with an iron hand. Yesterday Trotsky went out. Today Rycoff is gone. Tomorrow Tomsky and Bucharin will follow. At this the so-called "left-wing" communists may rejoice. But soon Communism itself as a party may be swallowed by Scalin who might rule as a new Czar, only "standing on his feet instead of on his head" as Engels so humorously (the humor was unconscious, of course) described the ideology of Marxian Communism. Beware, comrades! Your High Priest might usurp the place of your God. SALT OF WISDOM FROM AFRICA Wisdom makes no distinction o Hindu Poet. A cutting world is as tough as a bow string, a cutting word cannot be healed, though a wound may. A gun is not to be held carelessly. The borrower who does not pay, gets ho more money lent to him. Gold should be sold to him who knows the value of it. You profess to know how to ride: how is it that your horse's leg is broken? It is only the water that is spilt; the cestash is not broken. A man who talks of others behind their backs, another will talk of him in like manner. Editorial Opinions of the Negro Press MAKE IT A REAL CHRISTMAS The straitened circumstances, of the poor are the inspiration of an unusual program for Christmas—giving to those who need it rather than one's friends who in turn give to him. Exchange of gifts is a very matter-of-fact transaction, instead of the highly spiritual and intellectual reflection of the Christ, natural enough in this, sordid world, but wholly inadequate to meet the present-day situation. But after all, men are not utterly lost to the finer motives, and much is being said at this time about dropping the friends from the list and putting, on the needy to get the Christmas gifts. It is a worth while suggestion which we recommend heartily to all—Kansas City Call. NEGRO RIGHTS Negroes more than any other Americans, are forced to fight for their civil rights. Since three rights are guaranteed by the infinitive amendment to the federal constitution it shouldn't be necessary to fight for them. But it is necessary, just the same. Many southern whites aren't yet far enough removed from the days of slavery to recognize the rights of the freedmen. "This winter the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is making a widespread attack on Jim Crowism. Suits will be instituted in several states to establish the right of the Negro to vote, to have educational and transportation privileges equal to those of white people, and to own and occupy property irrespective of its location." This light sign is made inviolable by the Negro's educational advancement and his achievement in the arts and sciences. Until the light is won and the black man's civil rights are fully established, we cannot with any great degree of accuracy call our government a democracy." -Jowe Register, THE SHAMEFUL TRUTH It has been said that only 10 per cent of the money spent by Negroes in buying necessities and luxuries return to him in the form of employment. This means that the money he spends furnishes employment, to nine times as many other people as it does Negroes. At this rate, the commercial life of America has not felt the throbs of a competition that must come before the Negro can become an economic factor in the marxs of trade. It would be very wild guessing to say that only about 10 per cent of this return becomes available as capital. The significance of this fact is that this potential opportunity is about one-tenth utilized, that he makes 10 dollars and spends nine to give employment to white boys and girls and out of the one dollar which he spends to give Negro boys and girls employment one dime is available as permanent working capital for business enterprises owned and managed by himself. Funny fellow. This Negro. Now, where can he get on such a basis and, when will he get anywhere? If one thinks that Negro enterprises and Negro capital are increasing in good proportion, let him walk through Negro communities and see how many white merchants have followed the Negro to his segregated part of the city to sell him the secession of life. Let him walk through the Negro sections of the city where Negro harbor shops, and Negro theatres occasion their gathering and see the lumbrocean, the confectionary and other places of purely Negro patronage. If they succeed at all they do as self. a good illustration. Not only life but sacrificed to the Molloch of "Communism of Communism" not rejoiced because vice. For it is not this God but the one who control of the communist party is now one man, Scalin. He, as his name suggests, owns rights with an iron hand. Today Rycoff is gone. Tomorrow now. At this the so-called "left-wing" Communism itself as a party may rule as a new Czar, only "standing" as Engels so humorously (the humor described the ideology of Marxian Commodity) might usurp the place of high Priest might usurp the place of COMM FROM AFRICA of the color of skin.—A modern I am unworthy to grind pepper for him. One monkey does not like another to get a belly-full. The tongue is a person of skill, dwelling in the same place with the teeth. The flood takes me in, and the ebb takes me out. His opinions are like water in the bottom of a canoe, going from side to side. The tree-knot spoils the axe; hunger spoils love. s of the Negro Press The white man has learned that, all things being equal, he can beat the Negro merchant to the Negro patronage without effort or advertising. It ought to be different but it is not and the chance to have it so does not appear to be encouraging--Birmingham Reporter. BACK TO AFRICA The other day, some mischievous and uninformed folk, ventured to place from their uncultured minds an interpretation on the "Back to Africa" move of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Their inability to grasp the meaning of such a question is not by any means an excuse, they merely desire to place themselves before the public with something by the way of opposition. The "Back to Africa" movement admits of more profound thought than its critics are able to expand. The Negro, a race of black people from Africa, is segregated all over the world under different social, political and economical guidelines. As such it is impossible for a race to scatter, and under such varying conditions to demand the respect that is due to a race, so the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been knocking at the doors of the League of Nations—and all the powers that be for the right of the Africans abroad to return to their native land so that they may establish themselves as a sovereign race, with a sovereign state. No race has the respect of other races, unless it can boast of its sovereignty. This cannot be denied—and that is the all in the meaning of the term "Back to Africa." It has often been said by those ignorant of the real significance of the "Back to Africa" propaganda, that there is no desire for all Africans residing abroad to return to Africa. The position is clear. It puts us in mind of the doctrine that Christ died on the cross to save all men from sin and hell. It was not possible before the death of Christ for man to enter heaven. But in spite of Christ's death, there are millions who will never avail themselves of the opportunity; and so it is with the "Back to Africa" project. If Africa were allied as a free land to the Negro so that he may establish himself as a sovereign race, that certainly would not mean that every Negro the world over, would find his way to Africa—it would be a matter of choice; for after all the Negro is not unlike other races—more that they enjoyed eagerness for countless years, yet they are found scattered all over the globe.—The Blackman. Know Thyself By LESLIE BISHOP The civilized nations generally do not seem to cherish the fact that the Negro is overhauling a new philosophy, that he is seriously placing the emphasis on life rather than on death. The kind of Negro immortalized by Harriet Beecher Stowes in Uncle Tom's Cabin is gradually passing off the stage of human activities. A new type of Negro is taking his places on the broad basis of equality with the progressive nations of the world, believing that some day he will sit in conference side by side with the President of the United States, and with the crowned headdress and the plenipotentiaries of continental Europe. Shine on go little Africa's star. Shine on though dark the night; Pierce thou the gibon which tends to war. Shine on, ye daughter of that queen Who taught your plastic mind To love the Red, the Black and Green And more—to love mankind. Col. Julian the Hero Editor. The Negro World: Please allow me a little space in our paper, The Negro World, to say a word touching a comment by our able writer Mr. J. Milton Batson in connection with the position Col Julian recently held in the Abysinian Air Forces, which was found in the issue, of the Negro World of December 6th. I know very well the attitude of The Negro World regarding the efforts and achievements of all of our Negro heroes. It honors them all. In spite of the many great achievements in aeroplane development, this is the first opportunity that has been given our race to point to some great achievement by a member of the race. Every plane that flies over the heads of our little Negro children is hailed by them as Landberghs, as almost all grown-up Negroes seek Lindbergh, hail and honor him in recognition of his great achievements in aviation for his fatherland, America. And further, our Negro children are systematically taught to worship him in school by the teachers who ever to keep before the minds of all their pupils, the achievements of the white race, as history is being made. We are blessed by the pen of many brilliant Negro writers in The Negro World, and I have been wondering why some of these did not have something to say that would open our eyes, regarding the importance and value of the first Negro pioneer in aviation. Therore, Mr. Batson's letter to the Negro World of recent date is very pleasing to me. It looks like a change from the general football work the colored and white newspapers have been using this honorable and brilliant young man for. Mr. Batson has realized that Col. Julianfid did not have the courage of his conviction; for according to a New York daily that quoted Mr. Julian, this able gentleman left Abyssinia chiefly because he was afraid to die. While the stand taken by our noble critic, may be serviceable in helping to nerve others of our future young heroes to take on greater determination while attempting to go forward like other men and make names for themselves in the world, we must not overlook the facts that Mr. Julian is very young, starting with no loading example by Negro veterans in this line of undertaking (he being the first). It must be borne in mind that there is always a rather easy job to discourage planners, knowing as we all do, that followers grow strong and stronger when they witness the fall of leaders or comrades in battle. Because of these and other facts which need no mention, let us hope that Mr. Julian may enjoy in future, all favorable comments on his pioneer work in the field of aviation. Should our greatest of all heroes, the Hon. Marcus Survey, go under now, many would say he was afraid to die. Yet, whom among the greatest of man can we find, that would stand up under one-tenth of the task he is handling in this strongest of all organizations the world-over? Let us remind ourselves then, that all leaders are not expected to be of the same fibre; therefore, we must look into the good quality of our leaders before we pass our judgment upon them. Finally, let me say that Col. Julian is nothing short of being one of the heroes of my race, and deserves the same type of a salute from Negroes in America as Col. Lindbergh receives from the white race, because the achievement of Mr. Julian in aviation is worth a mountain more benefit to the Negroes, not only in America, but to Negroes throughout the entire world, than Col. Lindbergh will ever be worth to our race, except in the way of inspiration. Col. Julian is my hero, my Lindy, and I hope that this is just his beginning in aviation, and that there are many other young men of his type who are in line already. I am not a critic. Just a reminder, with the honor to be yours for Africa redeemed. JOS. SWEENEY, Brooklyn, N. Y. Contribute $2.00 Editor, The Negro World We wish to extend to you our appreciations for a greater Negro World in every respect. The Negro World is to the awakened Negro what the Bible was to our forefathers. To our estimation the Negro World is the greatest paper that comes off the press. We are very fortunate to have a man of your type as business manager. Editor, The Negro World: Please allow me to congratulate you upon your able message conveyed to us in the issue of December 6th, under the heading: "action: Negro's Greatest Curse." And what is more: It has already brought forth fruit, for in the next issue of the paper, we read the pleasant news that the New York City divisions work taking steps to affect a union among themselves. There is no greater news to greet the ears of Garveyites everywhere. For, as you have well said in your message, "Every new faction means a blow to us behind our backs." And I must congratulate the organ of the Universal Negro Improvement Association on finding an editor who is not contented to advise only, but is able and willing also to step in, take a personal interest and lead the way, as also was noticed in the good news which stated that Mr. Mudgal was chairman of the committee on plans for a reunion. This step stands out very brightly, due to the fact it is very unusual among our editors who glory much in talking daily. The article above mentioned is about as good as any that has ever been written to help this movement and should be worth much credit to the writer. And I hope that all Garveyites have read it, and that not only the New York City divisions, but all divisions in the organization might see the wisdom of following their examples by closing their ranks and keeping out the enemy. We are not organized to support the enemy's real estate business, in spite of the dire need in our race. Mr. Garvey rather, organized us to do the exact, opposite, and if members of the movement fail to see that their actions are only creating exploitation of our race to make the enemy richer and stronger, to destroy our power of resistance, our chief would be just something for the world to laugh at. Fraternally yours, JOS. W. SWEENEY, Brooklyn, N. Y. Editor: The Negro World: A thought come to me just a few minutes before writing, and that is the managing editor is calling for 50,000 new subscribers from now to the beginning of the new year. May I ask the question: What is really wrong with some of our people? For instance, if I am not mistaken, I am about the only subscriber in our vicinity. Friends, may it be understood, The Negro World is the only educational Negro paper in the world. It inspires you to true race consciousness, it makes you feel that God never made a more superior being than you. To me, The Negro World is like good food, like fresh air is to the body, like getting a drink of cool water on a hot summer day.

To Emulate Negro World Editor, The Negro World: As you will be interested to know or any movement that tends to bring the Bantu peoples to a higher and a nobler life, I am writing you this letter. The signs of the times are such that the pressing need of a Bantu newspaper is neatly felt by all serious-minded Africans. This does not mask to say that there are no Bantu papers in South Africa, but what we do say is that there are no papers (like *The Negro World*) which fire the sons of Ham with enthusiasm. One, would even be tempted to say that native journalists in this land of ours, act more ager stamps to endorse what has been dictated to them by the oppressors. Although we labor under scanty facilities, we are doing the best we can to get a Bantu paper, controlled and managed by the Bantu for the good of the Bantu people. We want a paper that is to be the leader of the leaderless Africans. We are, indeed, leaderless. Nobody seems to care whether we perish. Sir, we appeal for funds. Our verdict is that great good can be gained by having an independent Bantu newspaper. We believe that the pen is mightier than the sword. My words must of necessity be few and formal and having said them to the best of my ability, I shall conclude by asking for financial and moral support. Yours truly. EDWARD Q. SQLO, Editor, Umbhol Wabantsandu (The African Leader). Durban, Natal, South Africa. Xmas Donation We are sending for a year's subscription of our valuable paper. We are sending $5 the balance $5 is a Xmas present to this Negro World. Yours for Africa's Redemption. THE TERROR of the TIMES BY M. O. MURGAL One Christmas season I met a Pagan in a Christian country. He was full of the spirit of the season. I asked him if he were no longer a Pagan. "Indeed, I am. I am proud to be a PAGAN," he said. I learnt that his Paganism taught him not only to tolerate other religions and beliefs but also RESPECT THEM. It is interesting to note that the highly cultured Pagan people are the greatest champions of the Freedom of Faiths. Religious liberty in them does not take a negative form as in the United States. Their idea of religious liberty is to take part in the celebrations of other people's religion. Indeed such should be the spirit of all intelligent men and women. And in such spirit I greet my fellow Christians throughout the world at this happy season. Men of Goodness The primary function of all religions is to teach men and women to lead and live a life of goodness. Let me quote an interesting poem by Greenville N. Kleiser entitled "God of Men": God of men of gentle grace, God of men of radiant face, God of men of valiant race, We thank thee: God of men of lowly birth, God of men who 'till the earth, God of men of sterling worth, We thank thee! God of men who do and dare, God of men who burdens bear, God of men who freely share, We thank thee! God of men who watch and pray God of men who light the way, God of men who serve today, We thank thee! God of men who truth proclaim, God of men of selfless aim, God of men who love thy name, We thank thee! :A Peace Maker Recently I have had the fortune of appearing in the role of a peacemaker. At best a peacemaker's job is a thankless one. But it is a soul-satisfying one. I thought I was doing a duty in trying to unite the scattered forces of the Garvey movement. My feelings are best expressed in the following poem whose author is unknown to me: A Peace-Maker's Motto To serve—to care—to act. It matters not what'eer the sphere That God has put his children here! The weakest child to him is dear, He will perform without a fear Whatever we deserve! To serve—that is to care The common place stars in skies, The sunshine in a baby's eyes. The feathered songster is it seems Nature's jewelled beauty round about us, Can we but see, and care! To care—that is to act. The common-place our honds may be, where action knows sensed a movement Or, tend the sick ones willingly, Or intercede on hended lince When diseased by our standard heels. Perhaps, than other, shed no tear. Your best may be in God's right apparent a very touch of Mewwon. One Day Wonder I am letting an anonymous fellow columnist of mine to say a word or two. I WONDER just how many people use their "minds—intelligently and usefully. I WONDER if they realize that the mind should be kept over alert and interested; ready and eager to absorb valuable information for future use. I WONDER if they would not then have a better idea of the many factors and forces which make up our modern world. Invent an airship that cannot fall to the ground.

THE BEST OFFER FOR THE YEAR With a year's subscription to our paper we will give you a copy of the book on the life of the world's only Negro Heavyweight Champion. This book is really interesting and thrilling as it deals with his life in and out of the ring. It relates how Be met Kings, Queens, Dukes, Princesses, Presidents, and what they thought of him. Also his early marriage to a colored girl, and the results of this first marriage. How he lost the championship title, etc. WHEN BELIEBS are wrong, the best is telling little children, and happy in their homes Santa Claus left their toys. Growups are full of snips. Thinking hands, and wishing each other happiness. The mail man has left bundles of letters and packages. Young folks are busy reading: the greeting from their many friends. The air is full of joy, 'tis Christmas, the one day in the year, that should bring happiness to all. The big question is, "What have been your acts, etc."? since last Christmas. Have you at all times tried your utmost to do good? Have you tried to make others happy instead of sad? Have you walked the straight and narrow path of life? So that your walks would have been an inspiration to others. If you have followed the rules of success then it is good with you. Anyway you should decide as to what will be your acts for the coming year. My sincere wish and desire is that all of us will live a life of honesty in all its meaning. Let's leave the petty things such as hatred, malice, contempt, jealousy, and evil doings behind us. Let's all be as one big happy family, all interested in the success of each other. These things can be done, as it is just, as easy, to do good as bad, and doing good is of more importance to one's life. Learn to be broad-minded, and also learn to overlook the small acts of others that may not prove pleasing, and try to correct those that make such mistakes, and do it in an agreeable way. Let us all tow seeds of goodwill toward mankind is my appeal to the souls of my race fellows. THE NEGROES achievements in the roped arena for the year 1830, was not so bad. To reflect over same makes one feel proud of his fellow milt-men. George-Goffrey, Leon Cavalier, Larry Johnson, Billie Jones, Harry Smith, Gorilla Jones, Angel Cvilile, Baby Joe Gans, Jack Thompson, Kid Chocolate, Al Brown and Koll Kolo. All the aforementioned have done their best to uphold the race in this particular field of sport. Godfrey has gone unconquered for the entire year with the exception of his bout with Primo Carrera, in Philadelphia. Everybody knows that that fight was bagged and sewed up tight. George could beat Primo any day in the week. Sharkey-Schmeling, Campo and Shrubbling refused to mingle with him, so that makes George the uncrowned heavyweight champion. Leon Cavalier stirred the world in his showing up of the world's greatest jugglingator, Primo Carnevallo. How can we ever forget that memorial battle of the West, when the white folks resorted to all kinds of underhanded methods to put Cavalier to sleep, when they discovered that Primo could not do it. Up until this time "Big Feet" was bowling them ever fast. So it took Cavalier, a Negro, to show him up and hear it. Johnson, the leading Light he was, showed good during the sum against Maxie Rosenbloom and Pete Latzo. To my mind, and a lot of others, he won both fights but was denied the decisions. Then take, Billy Jones of Philadelphia, who was stepped to meet Rosenbloom for the championship. Just to have Mickie crying for one of them things, and because Jones would not agree, Max took a run out on the match master. Jones could knock Mickie head off. Just like that. Harry Smith, the middleweight, with the hefty sock, has to fight boys ten and twenty pounds heavier than he in order to get work. Just like Harry—to Michey Walker, the champ, and he takes the subway. Gorilla Jones has done nicely, winning most of his fights by the K. O. route. Agnus Chrysler created the most successful exhibition among at the Negro worldweight with his one round K. O. of Rape Devon. This successful feat put him right up front. Rame would not meet faith when the match was proposed to him some months before. Jeak Thompson won and lost the wetterweight championship during the year. He won it mentoringally and lost it through a desire of the white man to deprive him of some. Baby Joe Gans has chalked up quite a number of victories during the year. Meeting and defeating some of the best boys in his division. Kid Chocolate has made the most money during the year, although his ring assignments have not been registered as successes on his record. Aside from his three round knockout victory over Al Ridgeway, which was quite an upset, the Kid has had some tough breaks during the year. Al Brown, the bantam-weight champion has held his crown intact for the past twelve months. It seems that the boys in his division do not like to play in his yard, as he has only had cause to defend his laurels twice during the year. Koli Kolo came to us like a streak of lightning flash, for a time he was dropping them here and there, only when he met Jimmy Slavin did he ever taste defeat. This is a good record for a newcomer, and one not quite familiar with the ways and ins of New York. Koli proved to be the gameest race fighter for the latter part of the year. He has been in very tight spots but never has been down for a count yet. So you will see my dear readers, that the field of boxing, which to my mind is an interesting one, cannot be given too much space when it comes to registering the activities of our race participants this field has been greatly over-looked by quite a number of our journals. But it will be the policy of "Boxing Shadow" to give to his many readers first hand "info" every week, regarding the success or failure of our out-standing and also lesser lights in the Boxing World. Therefore I am asking fans everywhere to write me any news they may run across in their respective states in this field of sport. Also boxers are asked to send their names and weights. Also their assignments in to me regularly every week. I want to get closer to you, as I desire you to know that this column will at all times champion your cause. Hoping the coming year will be one of greater success for you all. AL BROWN, bantamweight champion, has been notified by the New York Boxing Commission that he must defend his title within fifteen days or same will be declared vacated. They did not state, if there were any changers on file from contenders. Unless this is so, how do they appeal Brown to fight, he go out and drag someone in the ring with him. Come on give us the low down on the matter. If there are challengers on file notify Brown who should be given first chance, and get the matter over with. ANGEL CLIVILLE received a draw in his ten round bout with Vittorio Livan of Italy, held at Madison Square Garden, last Friday evening. Try as Angel did he could not put the Italian away. Here was one child baby for the Porto Rica. He just would not stay put, and fought tough, at all stages. It was a clever contested affair with bids boys using presentation. As this was their first appearance in the Garden. Negro Tackle Goes Big In High School Football PONTIAC. Mich.-Eddie Satters, powerful big, tackle on the local, high school football eleven, is said to be the reason for the team's stellar season so far. The gridders have not lost a single contest and Eddie is being hailed as a logical candidate for All-State honor.

Postpone Holt-Williams Fight at Junction City JUNCTION CITY, Kan.-The ten round bout scheduled between Young Jack Holt, weakerweight champion (colored) boxer of the U. S. army, and Billy Williams, the Denver fighter, which way scheduled for the nineteenth, has been postponed until the first of the year. While in training several days ago, Williams, the Denver flash, fractured his left hand, and will probably be unable to appear in a ring before early in January. In the meantime Holt is busy training for future bouts in prospect. Holt is well known throughout Kansas and Missouri, and other cities having fought and defended some of the best they had to offer. He recently returned from the East where he fought and defeated "Kid" Andy Brown, Red Jerrell, Jimmy Miller and scores of others. Holt is a fast, clever and hard hitting puncher and best of all a wonderful, crowd pleasing performer. Holt can be reached at Junction City at Rosenfelds Men's Shop. Petitioners Save Sammy Jackson's Purse in L. A. LOS' ANGELES, Cal.—(ANP) —Deeply concerned over the fact that Sunny Jackson, twenty-year-old local school welterweight sensation, was to be appended, for a foul claimed by Punie Walker, local business and professional men sent a petition to James Weep, state-boxing commissioner. Those who headed the list were J. B. Bess, editor of the California Eagle, Harry Lovette, sports editor of the California Eagle, Cliff Minter of Minter's Style Salon, Charlotte Smith, patrolman, and Dr. Albert Baumann, grumpiest. They pointed out that Jackson is a credit to the race, and they do not wish him to become discouraged or disgruntled. Mr. Woods, always favorable to Negroes, consented and Sunny's purse of $1,500 was released. LOS ANGELES, Cal. — Before the cheers of more than 15,000 wrestling fans died away Wednesday at the Olympic Auditorium where Don George won the world title from Gus Sonnenberg, Lou Daro, promoter, turned to the ANT¹ representative and asked "When are we going to have any colored wrestlers out here?" The promoter has been trying for three years to inject more color into his famous matches by pitting colored matmen against the whites. He is especially anxious to have Reginald Sikl reappeared here as he was a great attraction as the "Abyssinian Lion." Dempsey to Referee LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight champion of the world and the greatest box-office attraction in history, will test his drawing powers at the Wilmington Bowl Wednesday night when he heists his 190 pounds of brawn into the ring to regain the ten-round heavyweight joust between Dynamite Jackson, Los Angeles Negro, and Man Mountain Ericson, claimant of the heavyweight championship of Sweden.

Officers Hold Rush at New Florence Mills LOS ANGELES. —With a large squad of officers fighting to control the crowds of 1,600 people who tried to get in the beautiful new Florence Mills theater, opened by Samuel Kramer, discoverer of the deceased songbird, the memorial house had its premiere. Dr. H. Claudie Hudson, local president of the N.A.A.C.P.; Titus Alexander of the Light and power board, and Assemblyman Fred Roberts made dedicatory addresses. Clarence Muse, Oscar Smith, Judge Dally, Stafford and Josephine Brown, secretary of the Western Teen's operation, were honor guests. Bilo and Ashes with their "Tan Town Topics" company opened the vaudeville bill. Zorilla and Fernandez Thrown Out of Ring PASADENA—Santiago Zorilla, the little Panamanian fighter who made his professional debut here several years ago, to climb into the ranks of the main eventers, fought what was probably the last battle of his career here last Thursday night. For Zorilla and Ignacio Fernandez, another in-and-out fighter, were leased from the ring by Referee Reg Gimore at the end of 10 uninteresting rounds. "Gimore declared it 'no contempt.'" "There was no doubt in the minds of the spectators that both boys were trying, but it was also recognized that both were 'has-beens.' In fact, Manager Wirt Road declared after the bout that Zorilla had caught his last professional fight and would no longer be in Panama. LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Staffed McCoy, colored youngster who meets Joe Guerrero in one of the six-round feature bouts of the Mills Street Athletic club, in being plied by many crifles to prove an even greater fighter than Bobby Joe Joe or Seck Thompson. The boy has had but fifteen bouts and has negroed eight knicknocks. His longest opponent was Lee Donningo, over whom he took a clean-cut decision. In Milwaukee Jan. 1 MILWAUKEE—Bruce Flowers, veteran New Rochelle, N.

Baby Joe Gans M Anderson in L For the first time since two years ago this month, baby Joe Gans, the young, master, will listen to thou- sands of white and colored friends raise the roof at Doyle's Olympic Auditorium. Next Tuesday night he climbs through the ropes, he has so often entered and meets Babe Anderson, who is classed as one of the best waterweights in the country. Wetting only 185 to 140 he has met the best waiters in the country most always giving away from one to seven pounds. He swept Madison Square Garden off its feet thriving them away by thousands at his first appearance there. Since he left following the death of Lary Lichammer, formerly co-manager with Cinnabee Tom Gun, his discoverer, he has been much tough boys as Joe T. Stephens, Gandy, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland and others. One of the people who, who was over a year, when he got up from a bedroom in the first year to give Homestead, the central landmark of the town, fishing and swimming, he captured. He was a man of great Money is sought eagerly as a use of life's most valued possessions in most parts of the world, but to at least one group of people it has no attraction at all. These are the Djukas, or Bush Negroes of Dutch Quita, descendants of slaves who won their independence 200 years ago from their Dutch masters and escaped to the interior of the jungle. They have been living in the wilderness ever since, content with their primitive African culture, wearing little or no clothing and subsisting on the foods that the jungle provides. Money Means Little Scientists who have recently visited the country of the Djukas report that the Bush Negroes have an unusual talent for art and that they make unusual and interesting designs. It was when the scientists attempted to purchase some of these artistic products that they discovered that money, in the Djuka colony, at any rate, was valueless for the purpose of bartering. The 'Djukes engage in the exchange of goods in terms of the goods which the earth gives them or which they produce themselves. Hence, money to them seems like some pieces of worthless, dirty paper, or, in the case of coins, small pieces of metal without even the distinction or being works of art. While money offers no inducement Roland Hayes in Christmas Recital Returning from his Christmas holiday in the South, Roland Hayes will give his second recital of the season in Carnegie Hall on Sunday evening, December 28, at 8:30 p. m. The great tenor, now in his seventh tour of America, announces a program consisting largely of favorite numbers from his recitals in the past. Perelval Parham will be the accompanist. The program will include: Handel's "Rondo Sereno" and "Pack Clouds Away"; Bethoven's "Atlideide"; Schubert's "Die Post" and "Die Nebensonen"; Brahm's "Micenc Liebe ist grun" and "Nachtigal"; Debusy's "Les Cloches" and "Mandoline"; Griffes "Rose of the Night"; Shoninsky's "My Little Pool"; and the following Negro spirituals: "I, John Saw De Holy Number," "Way up in Heaven," "Campnecetin"; "Nobody Knows de Trouble I've Seen." Singing, with the soulful sorrow of the black soulband, James Blakey, removed Negro baritone, silenced bright spot on the Capitol Theatre radio program Sunday over the National Broadcasting System. My high rendition was "Travelin' to the Grave." Major Bowen, announcer of the program, was enthralled in his praise of the great singer, he is introduced: Bledsoe to the first radio audience. Bledsoe was characterised by Major Bowen, as a remarkable human being, a credit to the human race, and one of the greatest baritone voices of the age. He studied further that this was the voice that had made famous one of the greatest songs of the southland, "Old Man River." British "Who's Who" The British "Who's Who" for the year 1921 has included in its distinguished list Paul Robeson, who has to his merit numerous triumphs in England. He is included mostly because of his popularity in Britain. Only one of his London engagements, ending with his performance in the much-talked of "Othello". It is to be noted that Mr. Robeson is not listed in the American "Who's Who." as he has won over 50 quick knockouts on the court. If the original Joe Gans could have seen the way his protege was welcomed back home Tuesday it would have done his heart good. Quite a little crowd was there even for the early hour. Curtis Caespertier, former manager of the Lincoln; Lightning Davis, will known boxer; Edward Thompson, Lafayette Player star; Harry Levette, Eagle Sports editor; and Gena family were among those who formed a reception committee to greet the returned wanderer. Spike and open in brown suit, hat and brown mustache, he looked like the Beaumont Brunel of Broadway. Crouches that gathered around him at Central Avenue were proof of his great popularity. They will be out in front this week for Sunday. A good preliminary card has been handed up by Michigan State University. Prices have been set for this host at 60 cents, 50 and 25 dollars. to the Djukas to part with their handcraft, gifts of candy or leaf meet an eager response. The natives love the taste of candy and treasure the sugared goods all the more since they have none of it themselves. Where Art Is Suspended Art is esteemed very highly by the Djukas. The natives decorate everything. Even their sticks for stirring up pots are finely shaped and delicately carved. The natives spend most of the time when they are not hunting or plowing in working on artistic implements and decorations. In fact, the ability to artistically decorate things is regarded by the Djukas as the most desired virtue. To win a wife, for example, a man must show ability in artistically decorating kitchen utensils, household objects and articles of personal decoration. The man who is able to carve in wood is looked upon with high favor by the women of the tribe and he has also the respect of his own sex. The ability to hunt, fish, and successfully to provide for a family are qualities essential in every young man seeking a wife, but these are taken more or less for granted, as few Bush Negroes cannot hold their own on the game trails or along swiftly swirling rivers. It is in the test of his artistic prowess that the prospective husband must prove his mettle. To Organize Chorus Of 1,000 Negro Voices For Westchester Jubilee A chorus of a thousand Negro voices is the goal set for the big Spring music jubilee to be presented by Westchester County's combined Negro singing groups, Harry Barnhart, director of the chorus, announced. In order to present a musical program of Negro culture at its best, the Westchester County Recreation Commission recently undertook the organization of various existing singing groups and the formation of new groups into a combined chorus at at least 800 to 1,000 voices. To reach Westchester's large Negro population, which numbers nearly 50,000, members of the chorus have constituted themselves into a committee to enlist the interest and cooperation of other, singers, whether they are affiliated with societies or not. Units are being formed in all the important centers in the County with weekly rehearsals under local conductors and rehearsals every second week under the direction of Bamalast. In addition, joint rehearsals will be held periodically. On Christmas day an an innovation, the title in "The Green Pasture" will portray the leading roles of the show. "They have been practicing diligently these parts and expect to make a decided big significant presentation is offered. Resume Rehearsals Scheduled to open Dec. 22, "Megaworld World," which suspended rehearsal two weeks ago when Carey productions had been unable to pool equity bond, but gone into rehearsal again with the cost waiting security.

The young women are serving meals to performers out of employment over day at 6 o'clock. Irvin C. Miller is president of the association. Josephine Baker has dropped her bundana dances long enough to do some serious acting in a skit written by Marcel Sauvage titled "The Memoirs of Josephine Baker," according to a dispatch from Paris. Josephine had been appearing at the Casino de Paris. The play had its opening Friday. MELWOOD, Alka-A son of picturesque Panama, Jackie, upses the dope in a 10-round bout here. The kid from Central America jabbed, hooked and crossed his way to a clean-cut decision over Joey Castillo, hard-punching Cuban lightweight, winning six of the ten rounds with ease. Battling Gilbert Deforest Kid Cox MARION, Va—Battling Gilbert of Roanoke, Va., won an eight round decision over Kid Cox of Marion, which was a hard fought bout all the way through, with both boys fighting on even turned up until the sighting round, when Battling Gilbert Kid Cox for the count of eight. Kid Cox again to hold his own with Gilbert until the end. Both boys weighted 147 pounds. HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. 19. Proofs in the G. II. A. II. s. ing. the past season was much that of last year. As a whole the pity was of a middle class order, with just one or two teams standing out. Teams that seemed to foresee wonderful aggregations as the season moved down the line failed before the halfway mark was reached. Hampton began with a rush, but faltered along the rugged journey, Union's brand of play was maintained, though the Panthers had nothing like the teams of old. Morgan maintained her tiny pace with only one reverse and closed the season with an excellent team. Howard showed improvement over last year, but failed to present a strong winning combination. Johnson C. Smith started out good, but began to show slugginess as the season rolled along. Lincoln had an improved machine but not a great team. As for the other eleven a look-over the final standings will tell the story. The players picked here for the season's honor, a place on the all-star eleven, are placed because of their work during the gridiron warfare. Every man's qualifications have been considered. He has been closely watched and studied throughout the year. Among these qualifications are: His all around ability to carry out his job better than the other fellow, and with a degree of consistency; his weak and strong points; his ability to outguess and outsmart the opposition; how he stands up under stiff opposition; whether he is good only against soft foes and bad against, tough — assignments, or whether he carries on sturdily against all that is sent against him. While some may contend that it seems plausible that a championship team should have a larger representation on the first team, one must not lose sight of the fact that it is also possible for a championship team to have only a few really outstanding players. Morgan presented a championship team, but only one or two men stood heads and shoulders above the rest. The play of these men, the general high spirits of the team and the cooperation and support body accounted, in a large measure for the Bear's success. Since the membership list of the C. I. A. A. has been increased to twelve schools, the All-Star Committee decided to have three teams this year instead of two. This was decided upon in order to do justice to the large number of players whose work was of value during the season. BY AUDINI J. CAMPENTER WEST POINT, N. X. The Cavalry Detachment basketball team played a fest international game Thursday evening in the gymnasium of the Cavalry Barracks and defended their visitors, the Pearl River Alumni, in the last half of the encounter.

YOUR TENOR PLEASE Message From Hon; Oscar DePriest We are now at the closing of the old year, at the threshold of the new year, 1931. We have just passed through the period proclaiming "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men." Would it not come with the greatest Christian spirit if, of a truth, this Angelic message could encompass each one and all of the people of the earth? Perhaps I attake a discordant note at this time when I sound the warning until unless the Christian church meets the challenge and puts away all forms of discrimination among races and among individuals, unborn generations may yet pay in blood the price it owes civilization for the violation of Justice, handed down from the ancients of ancients, announced in the Ten Commandments, proclaimed in the Sermon on the Mount, written into Magna Carta and perpetuated in the institutions of this country. History tells of the Pilgrims Landing at Plymouth Rock; history tells of the landing of the first cargo of slaves at Jamestown; history tells of the labor of the colonists; history recounts the unrequited toil of 4,000,000 Black Americans, of whom my mother and father were a part, whose bone and sinew felled the forests, plowed the land and made it bloom as the green bay tree; by the sweat of thousands of these unfortunate, the soil was fertilized. When the call to arms came and the Master went to war, these same slaves protected the virtue of the women left behind; maintained the safety of treasured gold; and when the call came to save the Union, they came forth to Father Abraham 200,000 strong. My message to my 12,000,000 fellow-citizens is: Be right, be arm. My message to my 12,000,000 fellow-citizens is: Be right, be arm, be strong, hold out to the end in the belief that right not might will prevail. OSCAR DE PRIEST.

Among other women thou art royal and the fairest! Like the brightest of jewels in the regal cladem. Shin's thou, Goddess of Africa, Nature's purest emblem! Black men worship at thy virginal shrine of trust love. Because in thine eyes are virtue's steady and holy mark. As we see in no other, clothed in silk; or fine linen, of the times. From ancient Venus, the Goddess; to mythical Helen. When Africa stood at the head of the older nations. The Gods used to travel from foreign lands to look at thee: On cephe of costly Eastern materials, all perfumed. Reclaimed thee, as in thy path flowers were strown, sweetest that bloomed. The transcendent marvelous beauty made the whole world mad, Bringing Solomon to tears as he viewed thy comness; Anthony and the elder Caesar at thy royal feet. Preferring death than to leave thy presence, their faces to meet. You, in all ages, have attracted the adoring world. And caused many a bloody banner to be unbridled. You have not upon existed and lofty encinence. To see a world fight in your ancient African defense. Today you have been dethroned, through weakness of your man. While, in frenzy, those who, of your craved your smiles and your hand-- Those who were all monsters and could not with love approach you-- Have insulted your pride and now attack your good virtues. Because of disunion you became the mother of the world, Giving tints of robust color to five continents. Making a greater world of millions of colored races. Whose claim to beauty is reflected through our black faces. From the handsome Indian to the European brunette. O Queen of all women Who have borne trials and troubles of racial burden. Once more we shall, in Africa, fight I and conquer you. Superior Angels look like you in Heaven above. For thou art fairest, queen of the seasons, queen of our love; No condition shall make us ever in Life desert thee. Sweet Goddess of the evergreen land and placid blue seas. I should like to express my thoughts regarding the previous young of the race of which I am a member. Mothers of today seem to be forgetting the life they were placed here to live. I feel that if our mothers were prepared for motherhood we'd have better boys and girls, but our mothers nowadays never seem to think that their bodies are moulds and that it is for them to mould their children and make something out of them. I am afraid that there are all children today and no mothers. The mothers of yesterday thought that their place was in the home to see to the proper training of their boys and girls. But the mothers of today think that their place is in the theatre, bathroom, and places that furnish pleasure which leads to shame. How often does one see a girl of tender age on the street mingling in a way not becoming to her; should someone venture to speak to her the answer would be shocking, and should someone venture, to speak to the mother or guardian of that child, the answer would be the same received from the child. Mothers, wake from your lethargy and live the life that you were made to live. Face the responsibility of training your boys and girls. It is for you to make them great, remember that no race can go higher than its womanhood. The fate of a child, the great Napoleon said, is always the work of the mother, and this extraordinary man took pleasure in repenting that to his mother he owed his elevation. Whatever I am, or hope to be, is the result of my mother's training. Women, of my race, stop and think and let, your children say of YOU what Napoleon said of his mother. The mother in her office holds the loye of the soul; and she it is who stamps the mould of character. My Christmas wish, therefore, to the women of my race is: "Live the life you are here to live, and make yourselves useful producers for your race." A very Merry Christmas to you! Merry Christmas By MARCUS GARVEY Merry Christmas By MARCUS GARVEY Christmas Eve By HENRY B. WILKINSON Children lying on the carpet Pen their notes to Santa Claus, Kitty, from their teasing resting, Stretches, furbishing her paws. Clock upon the mantle ticking Seems to measure notes of joy, Happiness in every second For each little girl and boy! All around the earth is covered With a wreath of purest white, Waiting for the welkin's echo! For the bells will ring tonight! Mother's joy in the kitchen Cooking pies and dainty things; Yes, we loved the thought of Christmas And the pleasure that it brings. Stockings, all around are hangings or we soon must be asleep; Father says no Santa's coming For the ones who watch and peep. So I'll go to bed right early, And I'll dream about the toys Which he always brings at Xmas To deserving girls and boys. Yes, it is a merry season For the young as well as old. Leaving memories, more precious. Yes, by far, than treasured gold! Xmas, 1930. The Birth of Christ BY LOTTIE B. De SHANDS In a lowly man, Our blessed Lord was born; Sheltered there from danger, One early winter's morn. His parents tired and weary Had journeyed from far and wide. Soeking for a lodging. That they might there abide. Do not ever ignore' the poor and scorn. Just think of the way our Lord was born; There are great men that dwell on earth. That were born of humble, lowly birth; Not any to compare with our Heavenly King. Who experienced all sorrows of earth- ly sting. It's a blessing, indeed, to once be poor. Think of poor Lazarus at the rich man's door. There's a hidden quality you may not God, our Father alone doth know. Praise Him from whom all blessings flow. "Christmas Puzzle" BY J.

Bits of Knowledge By W. L. GORDON THRIFT LADY GREED LADY GLUMMY LADY The "Seven Deadly Sing" are considered to be pride, anger, lust, envy, greed, gluttony and sloth. Song of Africa BY CARL ECHOLS Dark Africa doth sing a song: At first 'twas faint, but now it's strong. This hidden, submerged, secret strain Will some day break the country's chain. The chant is whispered soft and low. Is sung by bribesmen 'round the glow. It reaches hunters on the plain. The mountains hear the weird strain. This muffled thunder travels wide, This constant as the flowing tide. A murmuring distinct to all Whose ears will listen to the call. Hark, hear the strain, the melody, It fills the listens with glee. It causes faint hearts to grow strong And lend their voices to the throng. So join the tune. Ye Afric folk; Some day 'twill help to break 'the voice. O, chent it loud. Ye Dushy Braves. Sing for the day your spirit craves. Make reeds and string but softly croon. On talking drums beat loud the tune; Go forth uniting every heart. In take no noe can ever part. Go cross the deserts and the Sea. And whisper "Black men shall be free!" Go everywhere, beneath the sun. And join all dark folk into one. To Afro-Americans Up! my race, and be ye doing: Be ye ever striking, hewing! Wretched prejudice, is brewing! Brewing for to cast the down! Be alert, and too, remember, Though it's cold in bleak December— Frost and snow may plant life hinder— But in springtime flowers are found! Race antipathy is calling! Segregation is appalling! Jim Crowism's ever mauling! Trying to crush and daunt your soul! But ye must keep ever plodding— Stop! Say! Stop your duty dodging— Cease your whimming and your sooting And a daintess spirit hold! If your race name ye would treasure, Each of you must give full measure. This, of course, should give ye pleasure For it's up to each to build! Ye must strive for truth and honor; Faith and confidence to garner. Then like jewels ye'll adorn her; Racial ranoor too ye'll kill. W. S. GRANT. HAYES. Special GEE WHIZ HA MONEY - Christmas Christ the Way By MARCUS GARVEY Oh, with the spirit as of old, I chant a prayer to my God; The Being, precious, more than gold That Creosus has ever had. I lift my soul to Him above, And sing the angel's happy praise; The song of life in joy of love That men from earth to heaven raise, There's joy in Paradise for, Although a weary child of sin; The penitent on Calvry's tree May find the way to enter in. On Him I rest my cares of heart; He will so bridge the heavenly ford To show the way ere I depart. "At the Year's End" BY CARROLE ELOISE LOBAN Yours, O Lord; was the seed of the grain, And yours was the fertile field; Yours was the sunshine, and yours the rain, And yours was the Autumn's yield; And yours was the hand, that fed us, and planned. Our steps through the long, long year, And yours be the praise for the gifts of days That have brought us safely here. Reaching forth in our faith we can view Your touch on the ripened corn. Your footprints note in the gleaming dew. Your smile in the working morn. The winter can bring but another spring. Far is the journey that we have made But ever your love is sure: Guiding us upward and unafraid, And keeping our path secure, Where the old year ends. There the new ascents, And with faith serene—and clear We give thanks and praise For the vanished days, As we seek another year. O Jehovah, thou God of the ages, Grant unto our sons that lead To wisdom Thou; graves Thy sagues When Israel was save in need. Thou Israel was save in need. Thy voice through the dim past has spoken. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand, By Thee shall all fetters be broken And heaven bless our dear Mother- land. By R. RUSSELL PORTER I walked among the corpses. The breathing dead that lay On bench and bank and grass by night— That walked the street by day. I saw them wrapped in grave clothes Of daily papers thin.

No season of the year so delightfully excites one's imagination or calls more sympathetically to one's tenderest emotions. This occasion—Christmas, which commemorates the religion of Peace and Love, expresses itself in tranquility for the old and in joyous promptings for the young. Christmas spirit encourages us in the faith that mankind is growing better. The recurrent planting of such seeds year by year tends more and more toward the fruition of Universal Love and Brotherhood. Let us, for the day at least, forget the things that worry us. Let us substitute thoughts of the many things for which we may be thankful. Let us crowd hate and the kindred, suspicion and gloom, out of our hearts. Let us forgive our enemies and lean more heavily upon the staff of friendship. Let us focus our eyes on that guiding Star which led the WISE MEN, Melchior, Balthazzar and Caspar to a poor abode, and in the warmth of its glow rekindle in ourselves the genial flame of Charity. Above all, let us be our good selves and remember the Most Valuable Gift: the MYSTERY OF GOODNESS, the Depth of Love: GOD GLAD AND JOYOUS THAT HE MAY BRING HAPPINESS TO MAN MAN GLAD AND JOYOUS THAT ALSO GOD IS HAPPY! DR. PORTER Wishes the Readers and Friends of the NEGRO WORLD a Very Merry CHIHISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR Origin of Christmas (Written. Especially for the "Negro World") BY JOHN, G. JACKSON The white man tells us that we celebrate Dec. 25th because it is the birthday of Jesus Christ. He tells us that, but he does not believe it himself. Learned theologians, from the Church Fathers to the present day, have not been able to agree on the day, month of year of the birth of Jesus. The popular chronology gives the year 4 B. C. as the year of his birth, but there is no reliable estimate as to the month or day of the month. There were many virgin-born saviors before Jesus; among them being Osiris, Horus, Bacchus, Adonis, Hercules, Krishna, Budha, Mithra and Quetzalcoatle. They are a remarkable similarity in the recorded lives of these divine sons and sages. 1. They were all born on the 25th of December. 4. They were born in a cave or stable. 6. Darkness covered the earth at the time of their death. 7. They descended into hell. 8. On the third day they arose from the grave and ascended into heaven. The *reason* why the Christian Church finally adopted Dec. 25th as the birthday of Jesus was because of its universal popularity as a religious holiday among the pagan nations of antiquity. Dec. 25th was originally celebrated as the day of rebirth of the sun. Dec. 25th is the shortest day in the year. By the 25th of December the ancients noticed that the day was beginning to lengthen again and they therefore hoiled it as the birthday of the unconquerable sun. The Egyptians adored a little black child in a manger, which was displayed in their temples on Christmas day, long before the Christian era. And it is well known among scholars that, all of the early Christian pictures and images of the infant Jesus show him with a black complexion MAKING HEAVEN Feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, assisting the jobless, inspiring the children, that is our mission.

This is to certify that I have had Asthma for about fifteen years and had it about us bad as any man could have it not able to sleep at night. I sat up at walked the floor at night. I tried about five or six doctors, sent away, for medicine from doctors and also went to two hospitals in Baltimore, Johns Hopkins and St. Joseph's Hospital, to get medicine. I went to Warrenton, Vs., to the hospital to get medicine to help me but without any relief, but I can tell the world this is aody. Sister St. Victoria Donaldson sold me two bottles of Health Yoga specially prepared medicine for Asthma and I have not felt it since. That was last winter. I especially invite all those suffering from this terrible complaint to ask for this treatment such as I have gotten from these good people. I paid two dollars for it and I don't regret it. This is to identify for a number of years with an alliment that the medical doctors could understand. So finally I went to Johns Hopkins Hospital. They examined me and found that I was sick. I had a diet of milk and eggs and oatmeal. I continued going to Hopkins Hospital for six months and instead of getting better I was in more agony than ever. I want to meet some friends. They knew that I was sick and suffering and they said, Why not try Dr. Kenneth of 704 Eason St. So I went to Kernanin in the year of 1927 and he said he could cure me. I better for Johns Hopkins Hospital. I met some friends. I appeared two hours dead with it and it was the same thing: feeling better and then right back where I started. My brother-in-law spokes to me about Dr. Donaldson, who was selling medicine. I needed a tonic and gave me a bottle of Health Yaga and from the first bottle I began to improve. After I had taken three bottles of Health Yaga I began to without it. I made me sick, since I have been taking Health Yaga I began to apple or any kind of fruit without any trouble. Anybody who is suffering from through I can only recommend Dr. Donaldson's Health Yaga as a mere copy of any stomach trouble.

They staged great festivals during that season, and gave and received presents, such as horses, swords, battle axes and gold rings. The Celtic Prudls of pre-Christian times celebrated the night of Dec. 24th as a grand festival night, by lighting big fires on the tops of mountains. The day following they called Noon, or the day of regeneration. Similar festivals were held in pagan Rome and pre-Columbian Mexico. Even the sacred monogram of Christ; IHS may be laced back to the black-skinned Egyptians. IHS are Greek letters. Translated into Latin they become IES. The suffix for masculine names in Latin is US. IES plus US is equivalent to IESUS. In translating the name into English the I becomes a J, hence we get JESUS. The monogram of the pre-Christian heathen sun-god Bacchus was also IHS. The white Greeks pictured Bacchus as a black god, because they had adopted him from the black Egyptians. The Bacchus of the Grecians was the Horus of the Egyptians. The colossal Sphinx, erected 10,000 years ago, with its Negro face, is a monument to Horus, the black Christ of Egypt. Horus, according to the ancient Egyptians, came down from heaven in the form of an infant, born of the Virgin Isis. His father was the great and all-powerful god, Osiris. Horus, the human incarnation of the deity Osiris, was the earliest king of Egypt. In other words Horus was king of Egypt thousands of years before Menes, the first pharaon, was born. That is to say, he ruled in the land of Egypt when it was only a colony of the great Ethiopian Empire. Christmas had its origin in Africa, among the black sons of Hamm and Cush. The white man knows this, and now that we Negroes are finding it out, our white brother is developing a bad headache. Most liars seem to have very poor memory or bad recollection, or something of the kind. They tell it differently at different times. HEALTH TONIC WONDER LINIMENT AFRICAN YOUTH OIL KOROLEYEINE HAIR TONIC El cuerpo Poder El periodismo es un apoelado que exige sacrificios sin cuento. Periodismo es sinnismo de abnegado. Lleno periodismo es sinnismo de apoelol. Pero entre ellos "no exist todos los que son, ni son todos los que eran". Dentro de esta pléyade de espiritus iluminados que alumbran con sus luces a la humanidad, hay también los que pudieron llamar los fortgidos del periodismo, los asaltantes del periodismo. Son espiritus malvados que se introdujeron entre los buenos para hacer imperfecta la obra. Su pluma es ponzoñosa. Su palabra siembra desconfianza, imparte malas enesifanzas, derrama sombra en las conciencias y acbfir en los corazones. Las mismas cuartillas que ellos violan con la mano que la impulsa. La idea de estos espiritus funestos para la generosa obra del verdadero periodista debía de escribirse en el mar y no sobre el papel. Continuidanos de la raza negra, salud: Nos aceramos al finalizar del año 1930, el cual ha sido para nosotros como constituyentes de una grande y noble raza, un año de grandes pruebas y de mayores dificultades, desde el punto de vista económico. Pero apesar de todo hemos vivido con la esperanza de afrontar un nuevo año que nos brinde prosperidad y felicidad. El gran arca de suguridad de nuestra raza, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto, de la raza Negro, ha continuado a flote en su curso alrededor del mundo; y en cada puerto donde haya arriado su ancla, los sentimientos y principios que encarria han sido aceptados incuestionablemente por nuestro pueblo. Queda de nuestra parte el determinar hacia que grado debemos propagar esos principios de enaltecimiento, con el objeto de llevarlos a la realización en pro de la gloria de nuestra noble causa. El periodo de navidades es una época de vida nueva, porque ella nos brinda la inspiración del Gran Espíritu, cuyo atalicio es conmemotado universalmente. Abrigamos la peranza de que los cuatrocientos millones de nuestra raza insideran seriamente; en esta época del año, los deberes y determinación que haga nuestra labor no solamente un éxito sino un triunfo completo. Y los malos periodistas, los periodistas, malvados, son los que abundan. Viven ara deshonra de los apistoles de la idea, para proyector sombra donde ellos illuminan. Estos espiritus maleficios deshonran la obra, y la entercence. Hay otros elementos nocivos que el que lee el periodico desconoce: son los colaboradores gratuitos. Los primeros deforman la obra civilizadora, perolos segundos la obstruyen. Anhelamos nueva vida y nuevas energías para llevar adelante nuestra gran causa emancipadora. Aquellos que han seguido paso a paso las huellas de nuestro movimiento, tienen que admitir su potencialidad y el engrandecimiento de sus fuerzas en lo que adeptos respecta. Hemos de manifestar aquí nuestra gratitud por la lealtad manifestada entre los miembros, cuya actitud sincera ha contribuido grandemente al progreso de nuestra causa, en su camino hacia la redención de nuestro pueblo. Un colaborador gratuito, incapaz de ilustrar, ignorante de la gramatica, del difícil arte de escribir, es un elemento que debería de desterrarse de la república de las letras, arrojarse del templo del periodismo. De estos colaboradores, *nios escriben y los otros aconsejan*. Los unos sirven para llenar con sandecas que el público tiene que tolerar las columnas del diario que podian ser utilizables para solan o cultivo del lector. "El otro no escribe pero se yergue en censor. El primero protesta e insulta al periodista si su crónica que el llama literaria, no se publica. El segundo consuta lo que se publica y no está conforme a su criterio obsuo. El uno es celílogoso pero el otro es funesto. El aniversario grandilocuente del nacimiento del Mesías, será celebrado una vez mas con todo el esplendidos y solemn-sera celebrado una vez mas con todo el esplendor y solemnidad con que razas todas del-orbe que comulguen con la san-tipiad, crean en las misión de haber traido hacia nosotros la redención espiritual de la garn familia humana. No cabe duda que Cristo existiera; pero su objetivo, lo principal de su venida en descenso milagroso hacia laierra, como embajador del gran artifice del universo, no ha sido completamente entendido ni sancionado por el mundo crisiano hasta la fecha. Al coloborador gratuito que todos los días invade la redacción con sus espentes literarios, le parece si no se los publican es por envidia o malquerencia. El aconsejador también gratuito, empieza por decir: "Yo hubiera hecho esto o aquello y lo de mis allá." "in vez de este debieron haber puesto aquello." "XO, porqué dejaron de hacer esto, cuando era la nosta del dia." "El aconsejador es al propio tiempo que centrí, porqué indecipaz de contigir una nuna audí, gentil, elegente, finish; pero es capaz de crearse un mentor de periodistas. Desgraciadamente parece que la verdadera práctica de sus principos, religiosos no se ha entendido aun concretamente. Vivimos en una era de confusión todavía; no nos entedemos los unos con los otros; luchamos por destruirmos, y elio da prueba de que necesitamos el regreso de Cisto, sus prédicas y sus consejos para que se reajustan nuestros males, regule nuestros sentimientos y la paz y la fraternidad reine entre el género humano. Afrontamos actualmente un mundo que se jace de cristiano, pero que falta de esa igualdad sociaria que nivela los espíritus de una misma fé, presenta un ejemplo de hostilidad do una raza destruya a otra raza, un pueblo aniquila a otro pueblo, el fuerte subyuga al debil abusando de, un cristianismo menudo, haciendo irrisoria la causa grande y noble del Salvador. Todo esto es una grosera especulación que traerá un estado caótico, sino viene a su tiempo la medida necesaria para remediar esa temible desorientación que se deja sentir en el mundo cristiano. El colaborado gratuito es un apodé diablo que se creen una lumbrera literaria. El inconejador es diablo palo que se ciene todos los días sobre el periodico y sobre el periodista. Este martirio del que hace obre periodística, acrece con la obligación de dar noticias y escribir notas y editoriales para todos los gustos. Y para satisfacer los tiempo que torturase la mente, voler de aquí para alla en la caza de la nora diaria pulipiante, del día, ademiya de andar a mandobles con, los colaboradores gratuitos, con los consejeros, los encupijadores y las eibandijas de toda napas que pululan el periodico. Y su obra solo dura un día, una hora, el minuto en que se lee. Es figura, para aumento de torturas. En esta época, aniversario de la venida de Cristo, creo oportuno llaman la atención al universo de cuan hondos son nuestros males, nuestras privaciones, nuestras avejaciones como seros humanos. Al celebrar esta fiesta tradicional, no olvidemos lo santo y sagrado de la misma; recordemos lo, que ello significa y celebremosla con la dignidad y sanciona espiritual, como el mas grande de los aniversarios del género humano. Si nosotros pudieramos en estas navidades, convertir la debilidad de las tal llamadas razas superiores; y conseguir que todas ellas realizasen con sinceridad, el amos fraterno, y que este sentimiento se posara en el hombre sin miramiento de nacionalidad alguna, entonces habriamos conseguido alcanzar en este aniversario de la cristiandad, la influencia necesaria para una paz duradera. Pero can apestal tiene sus compensaciones, muy gratas al espíritu. Su triunfo, consiste en haber podido interpacar un anhelo, un sentimiento, una idea de la comunidad. Cada vez que ha podido penetrar por los sutiles vertetos del alma abstracta de su pueblo, ha conseguido una victoria. Vivir las alegias, los anhelos las tristezas de la generalidad, es su mayo satisfacción. Cuando se recorrió, caro lector, plácidamente, las páginas del periódico, recuerde el martirio de los periodistas y dedique una palabra de redonocimiento a quienes le sirven un manjar diario grato al espíritu, un manjar al, cual al dfa siguiente le querrá encontrar oro sabor.—J.

"Sónar tales sueños mo es cosa de estilidad, sino de alguien totalmente corente del espíritu británico. Después de la consideración más ansiosa con un espíritu de impacialidad y razon en todos los sectores, hemos llegado a la conclusión de que el gran fin viste puede ser alcanzado mediante una legislatura federal en que la India británica se conceatada con los estados en forma tal que la India sea una en pensamiento y en acción." Sir Herbert Samuel, organizador liberal principal, declaró con toda franquezo que el discurso de Mr. Churchill es de espiritu reacionatio y tono despreciativo. En nombre de los mejores intereses del inmperio--dijo--los sentimientos expresados por Mr. Churchill debieran ser repudiados inmediatamente, por las representantes de todos los sectores de opinión británicos.

If one be to minded in any walk of his whether it be social or business, one must be always board and open to any of his dealings with the other fellow. If a person is honest in his dealings with himself, he will most likely be honest in his dealings with other folks. How can one be honest with his own self? Do not fool yourself to believing you are doing right, when you know otherwise. This is one way to be honest with one's self. To be honest does not only mean that you should be honest with your handling of monies alone, but that you should give everyone their just due, whether it be a duty or financially. The trouble, with most of us is that we think, that when we are honest in our dealings with money, so that the other fellow suffers no loss, due to us, that we are honest. But we are wrong again. Honesty does not stop right there. For example, a person that constantly watches the clock or half-does his daily chores. is dishonest. Why? Well, this person is not actually stealing money, but he is stealing something that is very valuable which is time. Just because time cannot be seen, you may think that this does not count, but you are then taking a selfish point of view. For "time" is SUBSCRIPTIONS to The Negro World Now and Save Money See Special Offer On Page Two of This Issue money, and does not belong to you. If thought out from the proper angles one can readily see, that time is just a privilege or loan to you, to make the most out of it, as you possibly can. Another point to consider is that you are not giving the person you so can, contact with a fair exchange. One, the gravest friends with most of us, is that when we hair our work or think a duty that should have been done, we put ourselves on the back and say "Tombres." We will catch that part up or recognize that duty that we should have performed today. Time is valuable, and why throw something away that is valuable, simply because it is intangible. You must also remember that time cannot be required, and by thinking more carefully you will not be no ready to throw it away. So to be honest with a man you must be fair with all your dealings that pertain to him. In short, give every person an opportunity deal, this is honesty in the official conception of the word.

Scott, chief of the surgical staff, who had seen him a few years ago at the Hopkins Hospital, it was discovered that a major operation was necessary. The operation was performed on Saturday, December 14th by Dr. Scott and entirely repaired. The Mippe spent a good night and was reported getting along nicely on Monday. He was accompanied to Roochester by Mrs. R. H. Horton, all with, Dr. Walter Gray, Champion of New York City, and by Dr. Earle H. Dibble, Jr. of Trinity. 1970 WILL Promote a Full Growth of Hair.

THE NEGRO WORLD will host FORWARD BOOK ANNOUNCEMENTS Our students are requested to be on hand when forms arrive at these weeks. Information may be obtained. GIVE NOW TODAY! For a Worthy Cause! Some institutions are too proud to appeal for financial help even if they are facing complete collapse. This attitude on their part is not always welcomed by the public, who would be willing to render assistance if they only knew of their plight. Therefore the Negro World is not going to withhold anything from its readers. Money is needed back by just at this time. Are there fifteen Negro men or women that are interested in our work, who will contribute $100.00 each as a Christmas donation to the Negro World? There surely must be fifteen such readers out of our large number who would welcome such an opportunity to lend their financial aid, especially when there is such dire need for this help! If you cannot give $100.00, what can you give? Please do whatever you can and help us to continue the perpetuation of the ideals of the New Negro Thought! Send whatever you can direct to the NECESSITY FUND of THE NEGRO WORLD, 355 Lenox Avenue, New York City. Allow me to thank you a thousand times in advance for whatever your consideration. ALL DONATIONS WILL APPEAR IN OUR CHRISTMAS NUMBER—LET YOUR NAME APPEAR THEREIN. THIS SUNDAY The subject gift that can be pro- nounced by an individual is good health. In a sense everything else is sup- ordinated to it. Happiness follows in its pathway. No great achievement can be successfully accomplished when the body is not working right. Riches cannot be enjoyed in its absence. Beauty fades early when accompanied with bad health. As if on wings strength flies away. The whole outlook on life seems dark when this vital force is in abeyance. Seeing that an unhealthy person being healthy it is highly necessary that proper precautions should be taken to have and maintain this priceless worth. When once lost it might take a life time and a life savings to redeem it. And it might never be regained wholly. The man or woman who is in full possession of health is far better off than one with a million dollars and in poor health. Its value can only be really appreciated after it is destroyed. All the great leaders of thought and action have laid emphasis on the prairiegeance of the body in a fit condition. The books on the various religions bear evidence to this illusion. Whilst recognizing the works of others we are very much indebted to the book of books for special emphasis. Health reform is no new mystery. The incidence began thousands of years before the Christian era, and the master handling of diseases and their after effects has its elimination in the Great Physician, whose birth is now being celebrated. Those who gave to acknowledging Hindi is profound saw, and are inspired by the actions of such a magnificent leader who went about doing greed.

Such was add is He and more also. Let us turn once again to attention and consider that the body is able to take care of itself in the majority of cases if given a fair amount of chance. The food ought to be wholesome. The plainer the better it is. The appetites should be held under restraint. Vegetables and fruits in proper proportions are more suitable than meat diet. Water is the best drink. Cultivate a strong will power and intoxicating beverages will be readily discarded. Fresh air is very embracing. A few hours daily should be spent in the open, and the lungs should be filled with air by means of deep breathing. Exercise is very requisite. It gives renewed vigor to the system. The great tendency is to overdo it. Rest is a natural sequence to the latter. The older one gets the longer should be the rest after labor. Sleep is the great restorer of vitality. At least eight hours should be spent in recuperating. Cleanliness is the artistic page in the book on healthful living. Do not neglect it. Cease from worrying as much as possible. Owing to multiplicity of conditions too numerous to be mentioned some of us will become sick. While spontaneous healing cannot be guaranteed yet the individuals who have made the human subject a special study should be consulted whenever there is any doubt concerning the health. Give your doctor the opportunity to tide you over. See that you are fit to begin another year of struggle. A Merry Christmas to you!

WILLIAMS Physician and Surgeon In Now Located at 161 WEST 1261H STREET Phone Cathedral 7483 To us is born this day the child Jesus the Christ. The shepherds and wise men are now wending their way toward Bethlehem, there to behold the wonder of God. Because, there, in a manger, is to be found the Baby Christ who is to be the Resfermer of the world. With all the preparations the human race has made to welcome into the world the Christ who is to redeem us, we find ourselves still fighting, still in confusion, still exploiting, still merciless in our outslaught one upon the other. But on THIS Christmas morn may we not all members and brothers of the human family, forget our differences, and in one glorious chorus sing out to the world "Peace, Perfect Peace" Instead of planning a career, of sin on this Christmas morn, let us lift our thoughts to that grand and noble Father who gave us to us on this day His Royal Son, whom He has made our brother, and ask Him to bless each and every one of us that our great Lord has given us the spirit of the first Christmas morn. That first day in the stable at Bethlehem was a beacon of a new born hope for with the birth of the Prince of Peace there came to us an age of Struggling Masses The following are true: CONTENTS FROM 1942 not call it love, but call it call it patriotism, but call it patriotism must have a basic diametrically opposed in the conditions affecting the Negro in America. Any other race would have either forsight and died, or left, country. We stay, suffer, endure, and the problem with a belief that we will solve it. In this, I see the patience of Job, the antithesis of a Gaylord, the endurance of an on, the unconscious quiet of a fox, and the purity of a Nunhead, or the harmlessness of a dove. As a matter of fact, we do not see America. We can only see the problem affecting us, and it is toward the solution of this that all of our effort is directed. We are struggling to get a "rooting" in, and begin for our forward movement. If leading the Nero to cultivate all the natural and business resources within his "American environment"; to establish business where he is, so that he will not threaten the A. & P. stores and other large businesses (where his patronage is not needed), that if they do not give employment of the Nero that the more will pay off them to open doors to the many colored boys who together with their parents, have struggled and succeeded in order that they might be well skilled in the art and sciences, which education will be an opportunity to the fellow workmen in amy life. To make the Nero a sentient force in the present administration and a constructive part of constructive history that is now in the making of life in Europe, then I want the work) to know that I am a Garrettie. Mr. Kinnifloris is an American entrepreneur, Loksh of the business "Burmese Development in Pakistan. If we go that treating as an honor for a great movement, there is no I do thing where you will be willing to go. It is not possible for us to establish business here and so properly manage and develop them that we may be enabled to branch out and build inspected enterprise in Africa, placing them under the directory of strong, healthy well trained men and women, and continue its imminent, thus colonizing and revolutionizing conditions there? If this is the meaning of Carvoylis, I can safely say it is the greatest program for the development of macro-consciousness and for the establishment of an economic strength that would eventually mean the independence of the Negro in America. I say that it is the greatest movement that has ever been fostered by any man in the history of the Negro in America. Even if the American Negro intelligence did happen to be misinformed as to Mr. Garvey's ultimate目的, their culture which presupposed a knowledge of the psychology of applicants should have impelled them to hob-nose with Mr. Garvey to the end of giving him in, at least, the development of the Negro in his own environment.

But with the Almighty Power of God and with the guidance and mercy of our Blessed Redeemer we have not the day Ethiopia shall stretch further hand, and we shall all sing our Hessanas, shout our praises to God for freedom, for liberty, for life, For Christ is born of Mary.

This would have unanimated the Negro in America from the place of childish dependence which he paw suffers. Incidentally, I regret that I must make the poignant statements concerning the preacher that I have made. I do not wish to convey the erroneous impression that I think him to be a necessary evil, nor do I mean to attack the sacriety of his calling; but I do most emphatically hold that he is losing the respect of the holy, due to the fact that he rejoices to live with them when he is compelled to depend upon them, for his support. "If the Elder" of Jesus' to please Jesus' murder Nagath," "It is nothing to the preacher." 1200 suppose that we have about 10,000 preachers, imploring from five to nine million Negroes to spend their time, influence and money with the Negro in business. Suppose these preachers in conjunction with the political social and fraternal organization would put on a special Negro in Business Drive, having to about a year to inform, lectures heart-tender talks and in every other way available all working in concert. All of these organizations would have larger memberships, smaller X. P. D. lists and a more enclosed personnel. The preachers would have larger and more meaningful meetings and those opportunities that would more than ever financial needs of the church with cut off monthly bargaining, buying and selling a market place in church meetings, a spiritually rather service. The people would begin to see heaven strongly through the wine, heart, faithfully guidance of the preacher. When the wealth of the Negro in America is imminent up the church institutions and fraternal temples, eleven in for a large share of the total wealth. But, so a matter of fact this type of wealth is a major and beholdish to the actual wealth that counts for something, yet the masses are responsible for the commerce in just what do I mean? These are millions of persons who are not members of those fraternal groups who spend millions of dollars toward their support. It is not always that man can pay his large investment, assessment, etc., at the same time he has full duty toward his family. In this case the mother and children are often compelled to do without the actual necessities of life in order that dad may "keep up" his ledge. This is done in every fraternal organization: yet these mothers and children are not members of the organizations, and there are millions of them. Now in the light, of returns for their manners, what returns do they get? I do not forget the consideration shown to the members at death. If manuel, but suppose they have been members for more than twelve or fifteen years without ever having an incumbrance on the edge. (To Be Continued) 5. "But Negroes want to break down the social line between the races." Who told you so? The finest types of Negro leaders deny it emphatically. They say frankly that they prefer the society of their own people. Perfectly natural, too. Besides, experience does not justify any such charge. Negroes want justice; not social relations. Education, protection, decent living conditions, a chance to develop their best—these are the things they ask. And these represents the white man must grant. If he proposes to be even reasonably fair. ```markdown ``` and impatient. Where is the present friction and weakening the movement and are self-destructive? B1: (a) That unity is the most urgent need; (b) That unity is the most urgent need; (b) And that the Executive Divisions and the Royal Guard Divisions, both of New York City, consider it their sacred duty to be united into one body for the patriotic purpose of strengthening the Garvey movement with intelligent and constructive leadership, and therefore the Executive Officers of both Divisions hereby proclaim themselves united." Miss DeMena, Recording Secretary A committee consisting of all the officers of the two divisions was appointed to thrash out ably differences if any and formulate plans for the efficient working of the United Division to start its activities from the beginning of next year. It will meet under the neutral chairmanship of Mr. Mudgal. Miss Berniza DeMena was unanimously appointed Recording Secretary at the instance of Mr. H. G. Sallus, Mr. Mudgal and General Wolthey. Mr. Mudgal regretted, however, to ask that Mrs. Emily D. Capers, president of the Garvey Club, stood regrettably against every idea of unity for what reason he did not know, he said. But he had high tribute to the courage and patriotic zeal of Mrs. L. W. McCarthy, acting president of the Negro History Written For Whites by a White (Continued from Page One) settled in the North faded out, while these farther South grew darker. All Right in His Place 2. "Oh, yes," someone says, "the Negro is all right in his place." An obvious truth that often hides a fallacy; for generally it means that the man who uses it has already assumed to fix the Negro's place as one of interest, inferiority and servitude. But has one human being the right thus to rule another and to deny him the chance to improve his status? Am I God, that I should set limits to the possibilities of any of God's children? I set that is the philosophy of some people who would keep the Negro ignorant, order to keep him subservient and content. It is the philosophy of a past, and of paganism. The highest sovereign, not the selfish convenience of a law, is the only standard that meets the test of twentieth century intelligence and Christianity. Negro Intelligence and Ability 2. But, no genuine Negro ever showed real intelligence or ability? Do you think not? What about George Carver, the South's foremost agricultural chemist and Fellow of the London Royal Society of Arts? What about Phyllis Wheatley, African-American shower who wrote much poignant poetry that she most complimented by President Washington and entertained by the royalty of England? What of Robert R. Mobley, head of Tinkercole Institute, a school with 2,000 students and an annual budget of half a million dollars? What of Roland Heyer, world-famous tenor, who singes perfectly in four languages and has been honored in the crowned heads of Europe? What of Mary McLeod Bethune, who has united a great school for girls at Dayton, Florida, with a plant worth $300,000? What about hundreds more who have achieved notably in spite of great handicaps. Better inquire before you retell that particular folklore event. No Part in History 4. "The Negro has had no worth print in American history." some one says. No? Find you heard that Oriental Alquicks, a Negro, was the first martyri of American independence; that Peter Salent, a Negro, was the hero of the Battle of Bunier Hill; that Salem Poor, another Negro, distinguished himself in the same battle; that 5,000 American Negroes took part in the Revolutionary War; that General Andrew Jackson warmly commented the courage of the Negro troops at the Battle of New Orleans and credited them with the death of the British commander; that Commandore Perry surrendered in high praise of his Negro sailors in the Battle of Lake Erie; that Negro distinguished themselves in the Spanish American War at Guessina, El Carpenter, and San Juan Hill; that two Negroes were the first American soldiers decorated in the World War; that four online Negro regiments were cited for bravery in that war, and that sixty Negro officers received decorations? Look up the record. You'll find it interesting. Garvey Club, the largest non-profit Governmental organization of the Garvey Club and the Mayor B. M. Collins, second lady vice-president, for their stand on half of unity. In spite of presumed hostility on the part of some of the leaders in the Garvey Club, Mrs. Mudgel is still happy that in the near future he might be able to persuade them to join the united Garveyies in New York City, at least his services are at the disposal of any and all factions that would like to come together. Asked as to what attitude Col. St William Grant, president of the Tiger Division had taken towards the Unity Conference, Mr. Mudgal seemed to applaud the question, but he revealed that Col. Grant did not even show the courtesy of answering, even though in the negative, the invitation sent to him to join the Unity Conference, Mr. Mudgal is, however, optimistic, later on even the Tiger Division would join the united group of Gareyites, if they were groups that have united at present were to do constructive work and give intelligent leadership. The members and leaders of this united group have a great responsibility, in the opinion of Mr. Mudgal, not only towards Gareyites in New York City, but to Gareyites all over the world. They should set an example of selfless enleavage and courageous leadership. tities; Greeks for superior to Romans; and Romans to everybody. We white Americans are just as bad. We think ourselves the sick of the world "Gods last and best" the world "these and Koreans and East Indians and down on us in turn, as vulgar, excitable, unwieldy, superficial thinkers and realists. Nor do Europeans think much better of us if the truth were told. It is high time for the world to outgrow that fallacy. Nobody knows which is the superior race—or whether there be one. All we can say is that we differ in physical characteristics and in degree and kind of development. History shows that the backward race of one age often becomes the dominant race of the next, and vice versa. It behoves us all to be humble to remember that we are all human beings, owing to each other respect and good will. And the more advantaged any of us happen to be, the greater is our obligation to serve the others. Abd-el-Crim, Great Hero Of Morocco, in Exile (Continued from Page (Me) time. His greatest occupation is in reading and studying, his children militating freely with those of the township. There were 28 souls who were transported from Crimea to Morocco, the spot where they gave up an account that is still known to Crim on the railroad one which con- veyed them from the ship to the home of exile. It is considered that no more pro- positions could be allowed Crim as a means of mitigating his hated for the French or to appease his soul in the revenge he had interested in the French government for what he termed the exploitation of his country. The French people expect that Abd-Al-Delim will live down his pensions and upkeep against France in this humiliated and princely method of life. He conceived into a faithful friend of France as did Abd-Al-Kader after he wished to the Ambulance gentle in Paris, but those who are more intimate with his feet that Crimea feeling will never be able to tell what he terms his country's enemies. A caption of the army in Crimea properly who is engaged to take his communications to and from the governor of the island by whom Crimea expresses his desires and requisitions. If Crime should repeat and acquaint to the French government's form of life a friendly chief he would soon be libero and given a position among his people, but no, he is resolute in his belief for the government.

Military Bank French The most of the stockage of the railroad which the Ethiopians and the French are supposed to manage is in Ethiopia, not more than four hours out of three days being in French Somaliland. But from the French port of Djibouti to Addis Ababa, not one Ethiopian is to be seen looking after the finances of the road, outside of customs. The sale of tickets, collections for articles carried on the trains, or for freight, or any other government claims, are in the hands of Frenchman. A traveler would easily get the impression that the railroad was owned by the French. Queer Bank Rules The bank of the country is a particular source of trouble. The bank notes of the bank at Addis Ababa are only payable in full at that place. If one wishes to have them exchanged at Dire Down, at the branch bank, it is necessary to accept a 2 per cent discount. Dire Down merchants will not accept Addis Ababa bank notes. The Maria Theresa dollar, minted at some city in Europe, is the coin chiefly used. Its value is about forty cents. The Addis Ababa bank notes were made for use in that city because foreigners objected to the weight of the silver dollars. The Ethiopians, however, take delight in stacking them up. They may frequently be seen with large dry goods boxes, crammed with shining dollars. The Ethiopian is known as a great fighter by the natives of the surrounding countries. He rides around on his mule with from six to twelve servants or slaves running along by his side, carrying a few rusy rides or shot-guns. No single army could defeat the Ethiopians on foot because the soldiers of no other country could climb the steep precipices and mountains. The Ethiopians are great climbers and can outlast a Sudanese cane walking. The modern army has to stop, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That is not true with the Ethiopian. All he needs is a handful of grain. This he ties in the corner of his shamam, throwing one grain in his mouth at a time as he walks along. He never misses his mouth.

This despotism was the reason of South Africa, who at though degenerate, enappared with the superman forefathers, display still a great genius for art. They still claim to cherish what their great and illustrious protagonists thought was at five o'clock. And that is the reason way these supermen lost in the battle of life and that is why, the present-day "bushman" have been robbed—of all by European men and women who move with a "modern tempo." These supermen of South Africa had the finest capacity to enjoy life—the capacity of love, love, to rejoice, which the modern man has lost. They had a keenness and relish in the mere act of living that none of us can fathom today. Measured by the modern standard of commercial success they were a failure. But by that standard the previous generations of whatever race would be a failure. But measured by the current standard of capacity to live and in the untainted, natural world of the prehistoric times, they were the triumphs their epoch. But why did not these supermen continue to produce better types? Does not evolution teach us that we are destined to produce a better race progressively? To such questions as these anthropologists are asking wewers in hesitant tones let they might knock down the pedestal their little gods of "race superiority" "scientific spirit," "western civilization" etc. It is claimed that these supermen of South Africa were more hunters. When Asia discovered the art of agriculture the 'Negroes' from North Africa learned it and carried it southward. Culturally speaking, they were better fitted to survive. Their enslaughter could not be checked by the supermen who could not change their ways. Hence the latter had to give way to the northern Negro who was better fitted to carry on the newer mode of life. The modern world has a lesson to learn in this romantic episode of the supermen of South Africa. The economic life being changed by the new economic theories such as Communism and their concepts of life that are now neolithic in the Oriental world, especially China and India. These may affect the standards of living and systems of production in the "Eastern world, which might lead to the passing of the 'white supermen' of our own time.
