THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 5 GREAT MANIFESTO OF THE PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS TO THE WORLD The absolute equality of races, physical, political and social is the founding stone of world peace and human advancement. No one denies great difference of a trait, capacity and attachment among individuals of all races, but the voice of science, religion and practical politics is one $i_h$ denying the God appointed existence of super races, or of races naturally and inevitably and eternally interior. That $i_h$ the vast range of time, on group should in its industrial technique or social organization, or spiritual vision; lag a few hundred years behind another; or forge titility aheeb or come to differ decidedly in thought, deed and ideal, is proof of the essential richness and variety of human nature, rather than proof of the coexistence of demigods and apes in human form. The doctrine of racial equality does not interfere with individual liberty, rather, it fulfills it. And of all the various criteria by which masses of men have in the past been prejudged and classified, that of the color of the skin and texture of the hair, is surely the most adventons and idiotic. It is the duty of the world to assist in every way the advance of the back ward and suppressed groups of mankind. The rise of all men is a menace to no one and is the highest human racial; if it is not an antristic benevolence, but the one road to world salvation. For the purpose of raising such peoples to intelligence, self knowledge and self control, their intelligence of right ought to be recognized as the natural leaders of their groups. The insidious and debonable propaganda, which, for Scottish ends, distorts and denies facts as to represent the advancement and development of certain races of men as impossible and undesirable should be met with widespread dissonation of the truth. The experiment of uniting the Norse have a true citizen in this United States is not a failure; the attempts of autonomous government in Haiti and Liberia are not proof of the impossibility of self government among believers; the experience of Spanish America does not prove that anti-democracy will not eventually succeed there; the aspirations of Egypt and India will not succeed fully to be met by success at the capacity of darker races. We who present the attempt to treat civilized men as univocalized and who bring in our hearts adversity upon adversity against a those who lynch the untried, disfranchise the intolerant, dey self government to educated men, and insult the be pless, we complete, but not simply or primarily for ourselves more especially for the nations of our fellows, blood of our blood, and the flesh of our flesh, who have not even what we have, the power to cramain against monstrous wrongs, the power to see and to know the source of our conquest. Dow far will the future advance of my kind depend upon the social control and obstruct intermittence of the various strains of human blood is unknown but the demand for the interpretation of countries and intermittence of blood has come in modern days, from the white race alone, and has been intoxicated upon brown and black folks mainly by beet, force and tran. On top of this the resulting people of mixed race have had to endure immuno, persuasion and insult, and the penetrated souls have been forced into souls slavery. If it be proven that absolute world segregation by group, color or historical affinity is best for the future, let the white race leave the dark world and the darker races will gladly leave the white. But the propitiation is aburd. This is a world of men, of men whose likenesses far outweigh their differences; who mutually need each other in labor and thought and dream, but who can successfully have each other only on terms of equality, justice and mutual respect. They are the real and only peacemakers who work sincerely and peacefully to this end. The beginnings of wisdom in interracial contact is the establishment of political institutions among suppressed peoples. The habit of democracy must be made to encircle the earth. Despite the attempt to prove that its practice is the secret and divine gift of the few, no habit is more nature, or more widely spread among primitive people, or more easily capable of development among masses. Local egal government with a minimum of help and oversight can be established tomorrow in Asia, in Africa, in America and in the Isles of the Sea. It will in many instances, need general coercion and guidance, but it will fail only when that guidance seeks ignorantly and consciously its own selfish ends and pot the people's liberty and good. Surely in the 20th century of the Prince of Peace, in the millennium of Buddha and Mahamud, and in the mightiest Aye of Human Reason, there can be found $i_4$ the civilized world enough of altruism, learning and benevice to develop native institution for the native's good rather than continue to allow the majority of mankind to be brutalized and enslaved by ignorant and selfish agents of commercial institutions, whose one aim is profit and power for the few. And this brings us to the crux of the matter: It is the shame of the world that today the relation between the main groups of mankind and their mutual estimate and repect is determined chiefly by the degree $i_5$ which one can subject the other to its service, custaving labor, making ignorance compulsory; unpooring ruthlessly reli-cious and customs and destroying government; so that the favored Few may luxuriate in the toll of the tortured Many. Science, Religion and Philosophy have since been made the slaves of world commerce and industry, and bodies, minds of Fiji and Congo, are judged almost solely by the quotations on the Bourse. The day of such world organization is past and whatever excuses be made for it in other ages, the 20th century must come to judge men as men and not as a matter of industrial, and labor. The great industrial problem which has hitherto been regarded as the domestic problem of culture lands must be viewed far more broadly. If it is ever to reach just settlement, Lafor and capital in England, France and America can never solve their problem as long as similar and earthly greater problem of poverty and injustice marks the rejections of the wanderer and darker peoples. It is shameful, unreligious, uncientific and undemocratic that the estimate, which laid the peoples of earth put on the other half, depends mainly on their ability to squeeze profit out of them. It we are coming to recognize that the great modern problem is to correct maladjustment in the distribution of wealth. It must be remembered that the bearer adjustment is in the outmostly unjust distribution of world income between the dominant and suppressed peoples, in the rage of land and new material, and monopoly of technique and culture. And in the crime white labor is participatory with white capital, economical and socially, culturally and deliberately, the vast power of the white labor vote in modern democracy has been adjudged and flattered into imperialistic schemes to enclose and dehumanize black, brown and yellow labor, until with fatal retribution, they are themselves today bound and cursed and rendered impotent by the resultant monopoly of the world's raw material in the hands of a dominant, cruel and free possible few. And, too, just as curiously, the educated and cultured of the world, the welborn and well-bred, and even the deeply pious and philanthropic, receive their training and comfort and luxury, the imbalances of degrade beauty and sensibility, on condition that they neither inquire into the real source of their income and the methods of distribution or interfere with the legal protea which rest on a pitilith human foundation of writhing white and yellow and brown and black bodies. We claim no perfections of our own nor do we rock to escape the blance which of right fights on the backward for failure, to advance but noblesse oblige, and we arm civilization and more especially the colonial powers for deliberate transgressions of our just demands and their own better conscience. England, with her Dax Behamian, her courts of justice, established commerce and a certain apparent recognition of native law and customs, has nevertheless systematically fostered violence among the natives, has enslaved them and is still enclaving (Contributed on Fourth Vargo) ```markdown ``` RICHTMOND DIVISION, 193, C, N L, A, AND A, C, L.

He arrived in Richmond Sunday at 6 P.M. and was conveyed to his home, 110 E. Leigh street. Living in a snowy white bed, with court plaster about his head and one leg out of commission from bruises and cuts, Mr. Maurice Payne relates his experiences which according to allible calculations except for the goodness of the Lord should have provided him in it. "We left Richmond, Thursday or Wednesday. It was hursday at 10 o'clock and by two o'clock, we were near Alexandria. I headed with the boy not to run that car so fast. He would not listen to me. A cop hallum and I told him about it. He would not stop and when we strenuched that curve the speedometer was resting fifty-five miles an hour.

According to information from Norfolk, a split in the white Republican party in Virginia is in prospect. The meeting of the state committee scheduled for Saturday in Roanoke has indefinitely postponed and the two factions are said to be organizing for a fight to control the committee. In Norfolk it is said the anti-Slump faction is after the scalps of Congressman C. Bascom Slemp and Joseph L. Crupper, state chairman. It is declared the failure of Congressman Slemp to deliver the Ninta District to Anderson in the recent election is the cause of the break in the party. It is claimed that Anderson was shunted in the Ninth in order that his defeat might be made so crushing as to impair his growing prestige with the national administration. The Slemp followers are asserting that Anderson's speeches during the campaign were full of political blunders and that his references to the lack of education afforded Virginians arraigned on antagonism which could not be overcome. It is charged also that he was unable to deliver the strength which was claimed for one in Richmond, Norfolk and other cities of the State. (Richmond, Va. News Leader.)

Ker, who shot him in the back during a voyage from Jacksonville completed here a few days ago. Howell had sued for $5,000. Judge George W. Anderson decides Howell had not used a knife in an attack on Captain Poppe which the latter said caused him to "pe" "This shooting up of sailors on the high seas is the sort of indulgence he captains that should be paid for" the court added.

ART 505 BELOW 1920 RECORD New York, Dec. 1, Homelands in the United States during 1929 captured authorities 9,000 a degree of 500 from the 1919 record, according to a computation by Frederick L. Holland hired vice-president and staff-shelf of the Presidential Late Insurance Company of America. The figures made public last night through "The Speaker," showed Homelands, Town, still in the lead with a billion record of 63.4 persons for every 100,000 of population. The smallest thirty-one cities for which figures were tabulated was Rochester, N.Y. where the rate was but 1.3 for every 100,000. In general, the tables showed that Southern States with large Negro populations, had the highest homelands rate and that the proportion of Negroes in town was from three and a half to seven times that of whites. The average one was slightly $I_4$ excess of four to one. Tabulations for the period 1945-1959 grouped geographically, showed the New England States to be most law-abiding so far as homelands were concerned, with a rate of 2.8 for each 100,000. The Southern group had the highest rate, 10.8. In the Middle Atlantic States, the rate was 5.4; Central States, 6.4; Rocky Mountain State, 9.4; and Pacific Coast States, 9.2. Of the larger cities, Boston had the lowest rate, 5.4; New York was second with 5.9; The Chicago rate was 10.3; Sun Francisco, 7.6; Philadelphia, 8.1; St. Louis, 12.8; and Cleveland, 12.5.

Dying Declaration, Describes Dead—A legal Murderer, Expressed Belief Dead Men Pawned to Rob Father. Danville, Va. Dec. 1. Details were received here today of what appears to have been a cold-blooded brutish murder in the mountain fastness of Patrick County last Wednesday, when George Akers and Robert Abbey, brother of Dwey Alley of this city, were killed it is alleged by George Goine, assisted by Jim Going, his brother. The story of the crime, supported by the dying declaration of Alley, is that Akers and Abbey (two strangers) in Patrick County, nor George Goine at a general store in Abbey. Goine is sold to have invited the two strangers to his cabin on the waterfront. The next day George Goine reached Kibby and bought eight shot gun shells, saying that he had driven two men away from his cabin because he believed they were intent on robbing Perry Goine, the father, of his savings. SET OUT TO KILL MEN Going was further heard to say it is a need that he was going to kill both men. He called Jim Going; 'We brother from a nearby field and armed with a gun they left the village. Within an hour several shots were heard and a short time later the Goings returned to Kibby saying they had killed the two men. A searching party was formed and found Akers dead with his head half shot away; while Alley lay nearby with a gaping wound in his side. That night, before dying, Alley recovered consciousness and gave out a dying declaration. He said that all had been drinking, but that he knew of no motive which could impel Going whom he had known on'y a few hours for killing Akers and shooting him. Taking up the narrative, the dying man said that, after being driven away Akers who was intoxicated, became sleepy. Alley unwilling to leave him a one in the mountain fastness, cut down beside him.

When Margaret Easton, aged and apparently a friendless reclusive died a month ago, Brooklyn officials doubted if she had any relatives among whom to divide her fortune of a quarter million dollars. Tonight Sarrangee Wingate, to whose lot it fell to take charge of her affair's is wondering if the inmates will finally be counted in scores or if the number will reach into the hundreds. A few days after Mrs. Easton's death at her Brooklyn home was her herded by new-papers. Letters began to pour in from many States, one of them, anonymously contributing a document purporting to be a will 'baving no t of the estate to Josephine Johnson, "daughter by a former marrion, of Mrs. Easton's late husband." Today two new letters arrived to further complicate the situation. Out of these from Jessie"A. Owens of Spart Corida who said she was a cousin of Mr. Easton's late husband. Another letter, from a professed grand niece of Mr. Easton in Bristol, England asked ffy information. A third, one of two from Virginia, stated that the writer's cow and mue had died and the price of grain was going up and she had lost a child and that, consequent y, she would like a part of the money sent to her, though she made no legal claim.

ZION CHURCH Last Sunday marked the culmination of the installation services of our pastor, R. V. O. B. Simms, and of the rally which has been in progress for two months. During which time our people have worked zealously and unruly for this worthy cause. With time and circumstances $i_h$ con delegation we can safely say this is Zion's greatest rally. Not so much for the amount of eight hundred and sixty dollars being raised but the spirit manifested thru out the whole time. The people's moved as if they were a mighty plianty guided by a great leader. We do not feel that it is exaggeration $i_h$ calling our newly elect pastor (Rev O. R. Simms) great for it was turn his wise counselling, encouragement and guidance that they have been moved to do great things. Another feature that marks this as a success is the fact that we had the opportunity to listen to eleven of the most prominent Divines both in and out of town. All of them expressed their earnest desire for the progress of Zion and well spoken words sanctioned Zion's choice of pastor. The Volunteer Workers, one of the clubs of the Church that consist wholly of men, presented the pastor with a purse of gold coins as a token of appreciation, respect and encouragement. It is the daily prayer and sincere PRICE, FIVE CENTS device of each and every heart that with such a leadership, Zion may move $e_0$ step by step until she has truly proven that she is a church guard by the Maker and Doer of all things Well. And that her Godly deeds may be ever enshrined in the grateful hearts of our children; our children's children, yes, even thru out the generations THE CLEE CLUB MAY WELL GIVE THANKS. The Cief club, the famous New York organization of Negro Musical artist, have more than a passing reason for being thankful. During the present as on officials of the body have been put to considerable difficulty to fill the engagements offered with musicians capable of maintaining the high standard for which they have become internationally famous. The Executive Committee of the club have made several tentative plans for a tour of the Organization in the interest of the building fund of the club; and to provide some recreation for the members at the same time acquaint more of the country with their interpretations of the metropolitan musical novelties. Stress of business has always competed the cancellation of these plans $O_0$. Thanksgiving Eve the demand for units of the body were so great that President Fernar could have utilized thus times the membership of over 200. Pride in reputation of the "Ciefies" sustained him as engagement after engagement was destined. On January 23rd a hundred members of the Club will present a vocal and instrumental concert at Carnegie Hall, New York City and all booked members are being made with this in view so that for that week none of the members scheduled for the tour now being arranged. In all probabity the Club will appear in Washington Philadelphia, North Carolina, Richmond and another city yet to be selected. The same program as is used at Carnegie Hall will be offered on the tour. M. E. CHURCH SOUTH EDITOR BACKS DYER BILL. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. To Pirk avenue, New York, today made enbite the text of a letter sent by Robert P. Eleanor, editor of The McMurray College, official organ of the Board of Missions, M. E. Church, South in which Mr. E. Eleanor asks Representative Joseph V. Byrnes of South Carolina to support the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. The letter, copy of which was sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by Mr. Eleanor reads as follows: "Hon. Joseph W. Byrnes, Washington, D. C. My Dear Mr. Byrnes: I write to express the hope that you will do what you can for the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. E., which has been favorably reported by the Committee on Judiciary. I have no some fully into the bill, but it appears to me to be quit reasonable and desirable. It will be opposed, no doubt on the ground, that it is an interference with the State police power, but in view of the fact that so many States have shown themselves either unwilling or unable to protect their citizens from police violence it seems to me absolutely necessary that the government take steps to this end, I trust, therefore, that the bill may have your support. Rev. Hebbard Collet to California You may announce thru your columns that the Rev. J. P. Hubbard, pastor of th above named church has received the unanimous call to be come the pastor of the Beth Eden Baptist Church, Oakland, California. Beth Eden is the mother church of the city.

A man, who loves a woman should not make a "fool" of himself before the public. Despite the hard times, journalistic ventures are constantly on the increase. Reading colored journals and paying for them are two separate transactions. Practice both. People, who work will find plenty of work to do. People who idle will find plenty of idling to do. No people can rise above their leaders and you usually gauge the intellect gance of a people by their leaders. The epidemic of giving is near at hand and some of these folks here abouts are shuddoring at the prospect. --- These are hard times, but not as hard as those, which we have experienced.

They say, "Seeing is believing" and "Experience is the best of teachers." Still, we see people who see and experience and yet they proceed to blindly blunder. It is a constant "dig" for money on every hand. People, who have money are the victims of all kinds of demands and annoyances. People, who have none have no worry other than to drive schemes to get money from others. It is reported that Great Britain and Ireland or either that part controlled by the Slim Fel_n have reached an understanding and the bloody batles of the past will not be. The truth of the whole matter is that mother side is willing or ready to fight again Standing upon fundamental principles and refusing to retreat or compromise is always commendable. When simple privileges and not fundamental principles are involved, then compromises are in order and should be consumed as quickly as possible. ```markdown ``` It is reported that there is a spill in the ranks of the "Lily White" organization and that an effort will be made to supplant Hon. C. Bascom "Sleimp in the matter of party leadership. We do not doubt, but what the report is correct. We are not of the opinion though that the fight will materialize to such a dangerous extent, as to unhorses the present political leaders in this State inside of their own organization. Should this wonder happen, then "good-bye" lily whitism" throughout the Southland. GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND A unanimous agreement has been reached between southern Ireland and the British Empire, by which the whole of Ireland will be known as the Irish Free State with the same status as the Dominion of Canada, Australia and Great Britain's African Republics. Allegiance to the kind was made secondary, while that to this Irish Free State was made primary. That this agreement will be ratified is a foregone conclusion, inasmuch as Ustor, better known as northern Ireland will be permitted to choose its own destiny by remaining outside of the Irish Free State or by coining its present status to the Britsia crown. It is hoped that the old time factual disputes will not break out and that war between these two classes of Irish people will not break out. It begins to look as though the British Empire is breaking up and that a collapse of these loosely held "independence" will ultimately take place. The world congratulates the Britsia Empire and Ireland upon this happy consumption. "WAS WASHINGTON WRONG?" The New York Age in its issue of the 3rd lust., under the caption, "Was Washington Wrong?" publishes a very able defense of the policies and precepts of the distinguished educator, who has gone on before. It publishes a powerful extract from the utterances of Dr. Washington as delivered at Atlanta, Georgia in 1895. In falling to produce the entire address, it fails to give a critical public an opportunity to judge fully as to the merits or merits of the St. Paul Appeal's contention. Dr. Booker T. Washington's policy and doctrine were to move along the lines of the least resistance. That of John Quincy Adams and other heroe charagens has been to overcome opposition and surmount difficulties without compromising fundamental principles. In later years Dr. Washington took the latter view of the situation and acted accordingly, just as the New York Age assists. But, sir, it was too late, the damage had been done. The fundamental rights of the race compromised and the Negroes' political rights seem "to have gone down to rise no more." It is the leader of the John Q. Adams type, who is endowing to bring about this resurrection. We remember well the time, when Dr. Washington could not be induced to say a word against lynching. At that time, this journal was making a ceaseless fight against the crowning infamy of the century. It was only after the sober second thought of the better classes of the white South began to awaken to the danger and took steps to curb the vil that the "sage of Tuusakege" spoke out. It may be that in his compromising condition with the great industrial and financial interests at stake, he could not do better. We are not here to criticise the dead, but to review his public acts. As a whole, no one will claim that Dr. Booker T. Washington was wrong. As a part and on this particular point, he was fundamentally wrong. He built up an industrial constituency sadly deficient in manhood and lacking in manly courage. Young men and young women, who were educated in northern schools were of a different type. They were able to read works and to draw inspiration from the free air of that section. Those educated under the Washington type were of "stunted growth," so to speak. It is evident that Dr. Washington could not pursue any other course than that which he did pursue in building up such an institution with such handicaps. We believe that Dr. Washington had his mission and he performed it. His future is secure. He was human and he erred, but the good done by him shines after as against the mistakes he made. Still we are of the opinion that the sooner we get back to the right road and follow in the pathway of the stokes and the philosophers and practice the tenets of the good and lowly Jesus, the better for all of us. We are not arguing, as to whether Dr. Booker T. Washington was wrong. He is a dead issue. We are emphasizing the fact that Editor John Q. Adams of the St. Paul Appeal is right. Yes, eternally right. WHAT DOES MR. GARVEY MEAN? The Hon. Margus Garvey occupies the front page of the influential New York Negro World to give advice to the Negroes of the Universe and to advance the interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. These publications, as a rule are literary gems and they contain enunciation of fundamental principles which shows that the author is in possession of the elements of true greatness. We have before us his address to "Tollow Men of the Negro Race," in which he gives voice to fundamental truths, but to an extent, he is drastic in his conclusions. He demands that the question of leadership among Negroes be settled once and for all. He then makes a plan for higher social life and his words are truisms in advocating racial purity and social elevation. Mr. Garvey used the following language: To further explain what I do mean I will say if we were to be asked to THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA sound representatives to the council or races, where the social purity of the nation was to be discussed you would not send a a man to represent you who could not tell who his father was, and who was ashamed of bearing his father's name. Because if that individual it would leave the other members of the conference to conclude that the race has no social background. He continues: A race can pardon itself for being made up of illegitimate, through life it contact of black and white, when that race is enslaved. By this ruling, he is carrying out the Biblical prophecy, "The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children, even to the third and the fourth generations." Mr. Garvey then would exclude illegitimate children from exercising the powers of leadership or from acting in a representative capacity in any vital or representative matters affecting the Negro race. Granting that this position is the correct and proper one and we do this for the sake of argument, how can he harmonize his address in the Issue of October 29th, 1921 with the one sent forth in the issue of November 5, 1921? In the later edition, he says that the whites of South Africa want social equality with colored people. He quotes a ows in which General Hertzog, the leader of South African Nationalists advocates the segregation of the Negroes of Africa and of the colored people and of the whites, each equal in its own sphere. He also advocates the final absorption of the colored people. After giving a vivid word picture of conditions, the Man. Marcus Garvey says: General Heyzog and his kind have footed Negroes for over five hundred years. They have made a big nose telling us that we are an inferior race that colored and black are all one, and are Negroes. Now we have taken a long, long time to absorb the truth that we are all one, but we know now that we are all one, whether we are black or whether we have but one-sixteenth of Negro blood in our veins. The courts, judges and white lawyers everywhere hold that one drop or black blood makes you a Negro, and now we are going to get together on this proposition. Black men did not say so, the white man it was who said so, and he is not going to change this policy to suit his convenience. He feels that the policy cannot work in South Africa but it may work in America where the whites outnumber the blacks but when it come to African blacks it may work in other parts of the world where the whites outnumber the blacks, but when it comes to Africa, they realize that that cannot work there because black men outnumber white men, so they are trying to change the policy in South Africa, but thank God, the whole thing has made a circuit of the world, and Negroes everywhere have got to realize that they are all one, that one drop of their own blood makes every man a Negro. I am appealing, therefore, to the colored and black peoples of the world not to allow the other races to deceive you to suit their own conveniences. If you were Negroes in 1913 you are still Negroes in 1921. If in 1913, before the great European war, you were not fit to associate with the whites in South Africa West Africa, North Africa and in the United States and everywhere, you are still not fit to associate with the white man. Do not let rise use you for their convenience "The trip is always a Jap, the Anglo-Saxon is always a Saxon, the Anglo-Negro is going to be always a Negro, even though it displaces the convenience of General Hertzog and his lik. This game has been played against the race in several parts of the world other than South Africa. It has been played in the West Indies for nearly 80 years and has nearly caused the defeat of the West Indian Negroes in their higher ambition toward industrial, social and political freedom. It is only the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that has brought about a change in West Indian affairs. Because the Negroes outnumber the whites in the West Indies, the whites several years ago began to say, "Why, we whites are not numerous enough to overbalance these blacks under one constitution of equality; therefore, the best thing we can do is to separate the blacks from the colored and tell the colored that they are better than the blacks, and be more lentent toward the colored, and now and then let us intermarry with the colored, let us absorb them gradually, let them believe that they are like the blacks against the blacks and they have been playing the colored against the blacks in the West Indies for the last eighty years and this has brought about the demoralization of race pride and race loyalty among the Negroes in that part of the world. Now they are going to play the same game in South Africa. When they found out that the native Africans had great respect for the white man because he was white, and they saw no danger of the native ever getting to see that he ought to possess African, and not the alien adventurer, they were satisfied just to rest upon themselves for superiority and trade their occupation of Africa, and through their immoral and illicit conduct with the native, they brought out a colored population, and even these colored people were the children of their own bastardy, they said, "We are not our equal; you are inferior; go with them; natives; no compounded with them; we with them; work with them; die with them because you are inferior." But now there is a pinch in the shoe of this racial superiority stuff. They are going to the old West Indian colonial system of of dividing the natives, the blacks from the colored, and playing them one against the other, so that by a confusion with themselves the whites may have an easy time to rule. Yes, divide and rule. They have divided and have ruled for the last five hundred years, because as a race we were ignorant of their tactics, but today the Negro who is a graduate of the college, the university and the high school is going to play his brains against that of South Africa, now it is for us to let South Africa know there must be no division among them and the black people. It is for us as a race of Negroes to unite the colored and black people of South Africa for the one great eventuity, that of a free and independent Africa, controlled and dominated by Negroes. American, West Indian, South and Central American Negroes should get together and help the South African Negroes, colored and natives to stick together, and they should we give up when victory is no near? It is because Hertzog knows that the only way to keep up the polite of white supremacy South Africa, why he is appealing to the colored people in South Africa to assimilate with the whites, so that they both can play against the natives and rob and exploit them. What colored man with the experience of the last fifty years will stand for such a thing? This question of color is not well understood in the United States of America, because the white people of America have had no reason on to play the "game" against the Negroes of this country, because they outnumber us here, but the color question to be well understood you must play it in the West Indies and Africa, where the blacks outnumber the whites. We cannot understand Hon. Maraus Garvey's position in this matter. In his previous comment, he seeks to divide the Negroes and the colored people and then in the latter article, he takes the position that regardless of parentage, we are all Negroes with similar interests at stake. How can he divide the colored people along racial lines himself and then condemn Bertzge of South Africa for doing the same thing? WAS WASHINGTON WRONG? (Now York Age.) There appears to be a disposition on the part of a few of our race papers to charge the responsibility for the theory that the race problem is to be settled by segregation to the influence of the late Booker T. Washington. Among the papers which take this view of the matter are the Richmond Planet and the St. Paul Appeal. The latter paper goes so far as to say: No single thing in the United States has done so much to prevent the full attainment of citizenship as that speech of Booker Washington delivered in Atlanta, Ga., in 1895. This is going a long way back to place the responsibility for the conditions which now confront the race in this country. But the editor of the Appeal goes on further to say: Since then the descent to death has been swift and sure and the depths were sounded when the other day, Warren G. Harding President of the United States, stood by the side of the Grady monuments in Atlanta, pronounced a eulogy of Henry W. Grady, the most bitter, dangerous and insultous enemy of the colored people that the country has produced declared that the race question must be settled by the segregation of American citizens. Lared by the enthusiastic reception by the South of the B. Washington speech 'and the white man's "good Negro" pat on the shoulder, the Jim crow leaders' tribe has inexorably been enormously that it now a menace to be reckoned in with every community in which there are a hundred colored men. Now let us see what Dr. Washington actually said at Atlanta, and if it will bear the construction that these critics put upon it so many years after his death. We give a few extracts: "One-third of the population of the South is of the Negro/race. No enterprise seeking the material, civil or moral welfare of this section can dis regard this element of our population and reach the highest success.**** "To those of my race who depend on bettering their condition in a foreign land, or who underestimate the importance of cultivating friendly relations with their next-door neighbor, I would say. 'Cast down your buckets where you are'—cast it down in making friends in every manly way of the people of all races by whom we are surrounded. ***** "In all things that are purely social you can be as separate as the fingers, yet as the hands in all things essential in mutual progress.**** "There is no defense or security for any of us except in the highest intelligence and development of all. If any where there are efforts to curtail the full growth of the people those efforts he turned into stimulating encouragement, and making him the most useful and intelligent citizen. It must be remembered that Doctor Washington's mission was to build up the manhood of the race in the Souther by providing the opportunity for education and the training of the rising generation in useful trades and occupations, in which they could earn an honest livelihood and thus be in a position to establish a home and family life. In order to do this he had to disarm the opposition of the South or whites and secure their acquiesce in his efforts, if not their genie support. Economic opportunity and eventually equality was the point at which he was being, and in order to reach this goal he obliged to subordinate all other issues. It is not to be admitted that he was willing to surrender, or in fact did surrender, the other important claims of the race to political equality and the full enjoyment of citizen rights. Economic opportunity with the best education obtain able was the first step in the slow but steady progress that he had outlined for the race. It is due to the memory of Dr. Washington that his position as a consistent and outspoken opponent of lynch law and other forms of injustice be for the law should be recognized and emphasized. He furnished the funds to test the legality of the "grandfather clause" by which the Nogroes of Alabama had been disfranchised and carried the case to the United States Supreme Court where it was dismissed on a technically. Undeterred by this setback, he offered to cooperate with others of the race in a further effort to enforce the right to the fran chase. While Dr. Washington's policy in race matters was undoubtedly dictated by the prospect of achieving the greatest good for the greatest number it must be admitted that his purpose was not to drag down but to raise up those crushed in the mire to the fullest attainment of citizenship. The measure of good that he was able to accomplish under the moss: his courageing conditions is shown in the number of small communities scattered over the South, where the spirit of Tuskegee has manifested itself in a higher scale of living and thinking. Let these belated critics of Washington go back and read his Atlanta speech with better understanding and the look at the monument he has left at Tuskegee and in its graduates all over the South and they will repent their half-baked critisms. FIRST MT. OLIVE NOTES Newtown, Va. Dec. 6.—The People's Relief Society held its annual meeting at Mt. Olive last Saturday. Miss Susie Newbil, Mrs. Mary Banks and Mrs. Maggie Washington returned from Media, Pa., yesterday. Messrs. Wm. and A. Ramee returned from Philadelphia last Wednesday. Oh our sick ite are Messrs.

Mr. and Mrs. John Roane are leaving in their car today for Philadelphia. Re member you are cordially invited to attend the Sunday School and preaching services at Mt. Olive Sunday. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. On account of the inclement weather on Sunday the attendance at Vesper services was not very large. Those present enjoyed the very excellent address by Mr. W. M. Banks on "The Equality of Man." This subject was treated by the speaker in a very interesting manner. He showed how the various nations have failed to recognize the equality of each other, how women are treated differently to the other and how one individual assumes this superiority over another. That men must put aside the difference of wealth and poverty, must seek for a common standard of equality forgetting race, color, and gender and unite as brothers if wars and discussions are to cease. Mr. Wallace Jackson will speak at the Vesper hour on Sunday. Among the musical numbers to be rendered will be vocal solos by Miss Thulima Dharmaswamy and Myrtle McCarthy. On Sunday December 18th a special program will be rendered by the Girl Reserves. Members of the various clubs will appear on the program. On Tuesday evening December 13th at S o'clock Miss Lillian Frayer, will lecture on "Teaching—a Woman's Profession." We extend to you a cordial invitation to be present. The Oyster Supper given by the Just Us Club on last Friday evening was attended by about forty-five persons. A very pleasant time was spent by those present. Mrs. M. S. Mayne, Mrs. M. P. Mundin and Dr. Bessie Tharpe assisted the members of the club in preparing and serving the supper. The service rendered by these ladies aided materially in making this entertainment a success. --- Resolutions.

It begins to look as though the British Empire is breaking up and that a collapse of these loosely held "independencies" will ultimately take place. The world congratulates the Brittica Empire and Ireland upon this happy consumption. "WAS WASHINGTON WRONG?" The New York Age in its issue of the 3rd inst., under the caption, "War Washington Wrong?" publishes a very able defense of the policies and precepts of the distinguished educator, who has gone on before. It publishes a powerful extract from the utterances of Dr. Washington as delivered at Atlanta, Georgia in 1895. In failing to produce the entire address, it fails to give a critical public an opportunity to judge fully as to the merits or merits of the St. Paul Appeal's contention. Dr. Booker T. Washington's policy and doctrine were to move along the lines of the least resistance. That of John Quiney Adams and other heroic characters has been to overcome opposition and surmount difficulties without compromising fundamental principles. In later years Dr. Washington took the letter view of the situation and acted accordingly, just as the New York Age assures. But, sir, it was too late, the damage had been done. The fundamental rights of the race compromised and the Negroes' political rights seem "to have gone down to rise no more." It is the leader of the John Q. Adams type, who is endeavoring to bring about this resurrection. We remember well the time, when Dr. Washington could not be induced to say a word against lynching. At that time, this journal was making a ceaseless fight against the crowning infamy of the century. It was only after the sober second thought of the better classes of the white South began to awaken to the danger and took steps to curb the vil that the "sage of Tusakegee" spoke out. It may be that in his compromising condition with the great industrial and financial interests at stake, he could not do better. We are not here to criticise the dead, but to review his public acts. As a whole, no one will claim that Dr. Booker T. Washington was wrong. As a part and on this particular point, he was fundamentally wrong. He built up an industrial constituency sadly deficient in manhood and lacking in many courage. Young men and young women, who were educated in northern schools were of a different type. They were able to read works and to draw inspiration from the free air of that section. Those educated under the Washington type were of "stunted growth," so to speak. It is evident that Dr. Washington could not pursue any other course than that which he did pursue in building up such and institution with such handicaps. We believe that Dr. Washington had his mission and he performed it. His future is secure. He was human and he erred, but the good done by him shines afar as against the mistakes he made. Still we are of the opinion that the sooner we get back to the right road and follow $ \mathrm{I}_{n} $ the pathway of the stoles and the philosophers and practice the tenets of the good and lowly Jesus, the better for all of us. We are not arguing, as to whether Dr. Booker T. Washington was wrong. He is a dead issue. We are emphasizing the fact that Editor Joh $ \mathrm{I}_{n} $ Q. Adams of the St. Paul Appeal is right. Yes, eternally right. WHAT DOES MR. GARVEY MEAN? The Hon. Marcus Garvey occupies the front page of the influential New York Negro World to give advice to the Negroes of the Universe and to advance the interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. These Negro Improvement Association. These publications, as a rule are literary gems and they contain enunciation of fundamental principles which shows that the author is in possession of the elements of true greatness. We have before us his address to "Follow Men of the Negro Race," in which he gives voice to fundamental truths, but to an extent, he is drastic in his conclusions. He demands that the question of leadership among Negroes be settled once and for all. He then makes a plea for higher social life and his words are truisms in advocating racial purity and social elevation. Mr. Garvey used the following language: To further explain what I do mean I will say if we were to be asked, to THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA send representatives to the council or races, where the social purity of the nation was to be discussed you would not send a a man (to represent you who could not tell who his father was, and who was ashamed of bearing his father's name. Because if that individual is your leader it would leave the other members of the conference to conclude that the race has no social background. He continues: A race can pardon itself for being made up of illegitimate, through life it contact of black and white, when that race is enslaved. By this ruling, he is carrying out the Biblical prophecy, "The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children, even to the third and the fourth generations." Mr. Garvey then would exclude illegitimate children from exercising the powers of leadership or from acting in a representative capacity in any vital or representative matters affecting the Negro race. Granting that this position is the correct and proper one and we do this for the sake of argument, how can he harmonize his address in the Issue of October 29th, 1921 with the one sent forth in the issue of November 5, 1921? In the later edition, he says that the whites of South Africa want social equality with colored people. He quotes a ews item in which General Hertzog, the leader of South African Nationalists advocates the segregation of the Negroes of Africa and of the colored people' and of the whites, each equal in its own sphere. He also advocates the final absorption of the colored people. After giving a vivid word picture of conditions, the Hou. Marcus Garvey says: General Heyzog and his kind have fooled Negroes for over five hundred years. They have made a big noise telling us that we are an inferior race that colored and black are all one, and are Negroes. Now we have taken a long, long time to absorb the truth that we are all one, but we know now that we are all one, whether we are black or whether we have but one-sixteenth of Negro blood in our veins. The courts, judges and white lawyers everywhere hold that one drop or black blood makes you a Negro, and now we are going to get together on this proposition. Black men did not say so, the white man it was who said so, and he is not going to change this policy to suit his convenience. He feels that the policy cannot work in South Africa but it may work in America where the whites outnumber the blacks but when it come to Afrika the blacks it may work in other parts of the world where the whites outnumber the blacks, but when it comes to Africa, they realize that that cannot work there, because black men outnumber white men, so they are trying to change the policy in South Africa, but thank God, the whole thing has made a circuit of the world, and Negroes everywhere have got to realize that they are all one, that one drop of their own blood makes every man a Negro. I am appealing, therefore, to the colored and black peoples of the world, to allow the other races to deceive you to suit their own conveniences. If you were Negroes in 1913 you are still Negroes in 1921. If in 1913, before the great European war, you were not fit to associate with the whites in South Africa West Africa, North Africa, and in the United States and everywhere, you are still not fit to associate with the white man. Do not let any race use you for their convenience The Jap is always a Jap, the Anglo-Saxon is always an Anglo-Saxon and the Negro is going to be always a Negro, even though it dispenses the convenience of General Hertzog and his lik. This game has been played against the race in several parts of the world other than South Africa. It has been played in the West Indies for nearly 80 years and has nearly caused the defeat of the West Indian Negroes in their higher ambition toward industrial, social and political freedom. It is only the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that has brought about a change in West Indian affairs. Because the Negroes outnumber the whites in the West Indies, the whites several years ago began to say, "Why, we whites are not numerous enough to overbalance these blacks under one constitution of equality; therefore, the best thing we can do is to separate the blacks from the colored and tell the colored that they are better than the blacks, and be more lenient toward the colored, and now and then let us intermarry with the colored, let us absorb them gradually, let them believe that they are like us, so that we can play them against the blacks and they have been playing the colored against the blacks in the West Indies for the last eighty years and this has brought about the demoralization of race pride and race loyalty among the Negroes in that part of the world. Now they are going to play the same game in South Africa. When they found out that the native Africans had great respect for the white man because he was white, and they saw no danger of the native ever getting to see that he ought to possess Africa and not the alien adventurer, they were satisfied just to rest upon themselves for superiority and trade their occupation of Africa, and through their immoral and rigid conduct with the native, they brought out a colored population, and even though these colored people were the children of their own bastardy, they said, "You are not our equal: you are inferior; go among the natives; be compounded with them; sleep with them; work with them; die with them because you are inferior." But now there is a pinch in the shoe of this racial sclerority stuff. They are going to the old West Indian colonial system of of dividing the natives, the blacks from the colored, and playing them one against the other, so that by a confusion with themselves the whites may have an easy time to rule. Yes, divide and rule. They have divided and have ruled for the last five hundred years, because us a race we were ignorant of their tactics, but today the Negro who is a graduate of the college, the university and the high school is going to play his brains against that of the white man's, now it is for us to let South Africa know that there must be no division among the colored and the black people. It is for us as a race of Negroes to unite the colored and black people of South Africa for the one great eventuality, that of a free and independent Africa, controlled and dominated by Negroes. American, West Indian, South and Central American Negroes should get together and help the South African Negroes, colored and natives to stick together and be one. Why should we give up when victory is so near? It is because Hertzog knows that, he cannot keep up the policy of white supremacy in South Africa, why he is appealing to the colored people in South Africa to assimilate with the whites, so that they both can play against the natives and rob and exploit them. What colored man with the experience of the last fifty years will stand for such a thing? This question of color is not very well understood. In the United States of America, because the white people of America have had no reason on to play the "game" against the Negroes of this country, because they outnumber us here, but for the color question to be well understood you must play it in the West Indies and Africa, where the blacks outnumber the whites. We cannot understand Hon. Marcus Garvey's position in this matter. In his previous comment, he seeks to divide the Negroes and the colored people and then in the latter article, he takes the position that regardless of parentage, we are all Negroes with similar interests at stake. How can he divide the colored people along racial lines himself and then condemn Hertzog of South Africa for doing the same thing? WAS WASHINGTON WRONG? (New York Age.) There appears to be a disposition on the part of a few of our race papers to charge the responsibility for the theory that the race problem is to be settled by segregation to the influence of the late Booker T. Washington. Among the papers which take this view of the matter are the Richmond Planet and the St. Paul Appeal. The latter paper goes so far as to say: No single thing in the United States has done so much to prevent the full attainment of citizenship as that speech of Booker Washington delivered in Atlanta, Gn., in 1896. This is going a long way back to place the responsibility for the conditions which now confront the race in this country. But the editor of the Appeal goes on further to say: Since then the descent to hell has been swift and sure and the depths were squared when the other day, Warren G. Harding President of the United States, stood by the side of the Grady monument, in Atlanta, pronounced a eulogy of Henry W. Grady, the most bister, dangerous and indulgent enemy of the colored people that the country has produced declared that the race question must be settled by the segregation of American citizens. Lured by the enthusiastic reception by the South of the B. Washington speech and the white man's "good Negro" pat on the shoulder, the jim-crow leaders' tribe has increased so enormously that it is now a menace to be reckoned with in every community in which there are a hundred colored men. Now let us see what Dr. Washington actually said at Atlanta, and if it will bear the construction that these critics put upon it so many years after his death. We give a few extracts: "One-third of the population of the South is of the Negro/race. No enterprise seeking the material, civil or moral welfare of this section can disregard this element of our population and reach the highest success."**** "To those of my race who depend on bettering their condition in a foreign land, or who underestimate the importance of cultivating friendly relations with their next-door neighbor, I would say. 'Cast down your bucket where you are'—cast it down in making friends in every manly way of the people of all races by whom we are surrounded. ***** "In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hands $h_1$ all things essential to mutual progress."**** "There is no defense or security for any of us except in the highest intelligence and development of all. If any where there are efforts tending to curtail the fullest growth of the Negro, let those efforts be turned into stimulating encouragement and making him the most useful and intelligent citizen. It must be remembered that Doctor Washington's mission was to build up the manhood of the race in the South by providing the opportunity for education and the training of the rising generation in useful trades and occupations, in which they could earn an honest livelihood and thus be in a position to establish a healthy home and family life. In order to do this he had to disarm the opposition of the Southern whites and secure their acquiescence in his efforts, if not their genius support. Economic opportunity and eventually equality was the point at which he was aiming, and in order to reach this goal he was obliged to subordinate all other issues. But it is not to be admitted that he was willing to surrender, or in fact did surrender, the other important claims of the race to political equality and the full enjoyment of citizen rights. Economic independence with the best education attain- able was the first step in the slow but steady progress that he had outlined for the race. It is due to the memory of Dr. Washington that his position as a consistent and outspoke $_{\mathrm{o}}$ opponent of lynch law and other forms of injustice before the law should be recognized and emphasized. He furnished the funds to test the legality of the "grandfather clause" by which the Negroes of Alabama had been disfranchised and carried the case $_{\mathrm{o}}$ to the United States Supreme Court where it was dismixed on a technicality. Undeterred by this setback, he offered to cooperate with others of the race in a further effort to enforce the right to the fran chise. While Dr. Washington's policy in race matters was undoubtedly dictated by the prospect of achieving the greatest good for the greatest number it must be admitted that his purpose was not to drag down but to raise up thee crushed in the mire to the fullest attainment of citizenship. The measure of good that he was able to accomplish under the moss his courageing conditions is shown in the number of small communities scattered over the South, where the spirit of Tuskegee has manifested itself in a higher scale of living and thinking. Let these belated critics of Washington go back and read his Albanta speech with better understanding and the look at the monument he has left at Tuskegee and in its graduates all over the South and they will repent their hapl-baked criticisms.

Y, W, C, A, NOTES, On account of the inclement weather on Sunday the attendance at Vesper services was not very large. Those present enjoyed the very excellent address by Mr. W. M. Banks on "The Equality of Man." This subject was treated by the speaker in a very interesting manner. He showed how the various nations have failed to recognize the equality of each other, how one race feels itself superior to the other and how one individual assumes this same superiority over another. That men must put aside the difference of wealth and poverty, must seek for a common standard of equality forgetting race, color, and gender and unite as brothers if wars and dissensions are to cease. Mr. Wallace Jackson will speak at the Vesper hour on Sunday. Among the musical numbers to be rendered will be vocal solos by Miss Thalma Jonos and Miss Myrtle Griffin. On Sunday December 18th a special program will be rendered by the Girl Reserves. Members of the various clubs will appear on the program. On Tuesday evening December 13th at S o'clock Miss Lillian Frayer will lecture on "Teaching—a Woman's Presession." We extend to you a cordial invitation to be present. The Oyster Supper given by the Just Us Club on last Friday evening was attended by about forty-five persons. A very pleasant time was spent by those present. Mrs. M. S. Mayne, Mrs. M. P. Mundin and Dr. Bessie Tharpe assisted the members of the club in preparing and serving the super. The service rendered by these ladies aided materially in making this entertainment a success. --- Resolutions.

WORDS HEARD ACROSS THE CONTINENT AMAZING FEAT OF CARRYING AFAR WORDS SPORGN AT ARLINGTON CEREMONY. (By Arthur Bennington.) When a hundred thousand persons in Arlington Cemetery, thirty thousand and in New York and twenty thousand in $n_4$ Francisco actually took part in the ceremonies attending the burial of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Cemetery, Washington, D. C., bearing every word spoken and joining in the prayers and hymns, the magnitude and importance of the scientific achievement that made this possible was torment the moment cast into shadow by the impressive solemnity of it all. The very perfection of the achievement drove public attention away from the scientific device. Nevertheless, countless thousands must have asked how it was done, how was it that one could stand in Madison Square or in the auditorium at San Francisco and listen to the words of President Harding, of Bishop Brent, of Foch and Diaz and Beatty, speaking hundreds of miles away, as if they had been standing within ten feet? How was it that the quiet words of "Our Father" came over that vast distance so clearly and distinctly that all the vast crowds were able to say the prayer in absolute unison with him who was saying it over the soldier's coffin hundreds of miles away, and that the sweet notes of the bugle sounding "Taps" over that grave in Virginia were heard in San Francisco and New York as clearly and sweetly as by those who stood reverently watching the final entombment? Amplifiers on the telephone, was the answer to those who inquired. But the answer, while correct, conveys only the vaguest of ideas to any one who is not an expert in telephony. I asked Col. John J. Carty, Vice President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, the man under whose direction $_{0}$ the amazing feat was accomplished to tell me just how it was done. Col. Carty is that rare combination of practical engineer and far-visioned idealist in whom the imagination of a poet is blended with the hard-headed practicality of the man who does things. He is short and slender, with a face on which many smiles have left their marks in wrinkles. His hands are small and delicate as a girl's, with slender fingers that one thinks of as drawing exquisite harmonies from the strings of a harp. I cannot even begin to suggest the charm of the way he talks. His voice is pleasing, he explains abstruse scientific problems in the simplest of words and he intersperses his talk with striking and picturesque similitudes. The imagination he brings to bear up on his everyday work is well illustrated by some times he wrote as professeur a booklet for his company: "I have faith that we shall some day build up a great world telephone system, making necessary to all the nations the use of a common language which will join all the peoples of the earth into one brotherhood..." "The achievement of Armistice Day" said Col. Carty, "was the fruit of two years of preparation. It is two years since we perfected the apparatus that made it possible. Forseeing then some great occasion such as this, I gave orders to make several of the machines. So we had them when the time came, but careful preparation and perfect organization were the chief factors of success. I realized that this demonstration would be either a landmark in the history of human communications or a most monumental flashe. There could be no middle ground. The occasion was so solemn, so heart-stirring that only perfection in its reproduction at a distance could prevent it from being perfection in every minute detail. "Therefore we had to organize most carefully to make tests that insured the precise working of every machine, to drill our own employees and many of the principal participants. To make sure that, there should be no flaw at any point in the lines, we stationed a tried and trusted man every seventeen miles along each of the lines between here and the Pacific Coast. From Washington to Denver vin New York we had three lines arranged so that at any point one fine could be substituted for another. Beyond Denver there were two lines. Each man was responsible for the perfect working of his ow $ _{n} $ section of line. At all the relay points our best men were stationed. "At Arlington there was a difficult problem. The Auditorium there is either indoors nor out but is both. It is easy to amplify a voice so that every one in a vast room can rear it; it is equally easy to amplify it in the open air so that a million persons can ear it. But here we had to combine the two; the pillars of the stadium would reflect the sound back into the inside and the sound from the amplifiers outside would enter through the robes between the pillars. We experimented on the spot until we solved that problem. "To make sure that our amplifiers could carry to great distances in the open air we made other experiments and I was not satisfied until I went myself to Newark, N. J., and stood in one of the parks and listened to a voice coming from Arlington, Va., through an amplifier a thousand feet away in a tree top." "In the stadium at Arlington the钛afalque stood before $a_1$ apse, in which the speakers were seated in a amlere. It was necessary that all should speak from one point. We had lectern placed to the right of the end of the coffin, with a square of carpet before it. The receiving teleonic apparatus was placed below and in front of the lectern—not touching it, for if it had been touching and the speaker had brought his hand on the reading desk it would have sounded like a cannon shot. The master of ceremonies led each speak-to the lectern, and the square of tem?" Insked. It has passed the stage of experiment," said Col. Curly. "It is now an accomplished fact and what was done on Armistice Day can be done again anywhere. It is only a matter of making more instruments. It will work a revolution in lecturing and political campaigning. The President can make a speech to which the entire population of the United States can listen simultaneously. Orators can go about in wagons with instruments upon them and address the entire populations of the towns in which they speak. A general can address an entire army. We have only to string wires over Canada, Central and South America to make it possible for a statesman to stand at Washington, Buenos Aires, Ottawa or any other city and speak to every inhabitant of the Western Hemisphere." "Why not of the whole world?" I asked. "That will doubtless come in time," replied Col. Carty. "but telephoneing across the ocean is not yet feasible. It can be done; it has been done but only experimentally and it has not yet reached a stage where it can be said to be commercially practicable. We have already talked across th ocean by wireless, but there we run up against interruptions from at mopheric conditions and from static, and these make wireless communications over great distances uncertain. But I have no doubt that in time we shall find a way to telephone freely from one continent to another, and when that day shall come this amplifying apparatus will unite the whole of mankind and we shall all have to learn one language.' "You do not speak of music." I re marked. "Would it not be possible to arrange so that a whole opera sung in New York could be heard in other cities?" "That may come too, replied Col. Cartv "but not yet. We have not yet learned how to collect many voices and sounds of musical instruments scattered over the wide area of the stage and orchestra of a theatre and transmit them over a wire. You remember that I told you we had to get all the speaker at Arlington to stand in one spot. For you cannot scatter a multiplicity of telphone receivers about on a stage so as to catch the voices of many persons speaking or singing at many points and collect them all in one telephone. Even this may come but let us be satisfied for the time being with the great thing we have just achieved. "I see in the 'telephone the greatest power in the bringing of mankind in brotherhood. Every step in communications has been a step in that direction. The railroads linked country with country, city with city; the telegraph institution; then came the telephone and linked man with man. Now comes this amplified telephone and linkes one man with all other men at the same moment. I think I am not exaggerating when I call the achievement of Armistice Day a land mark in the history of the world." ATTITUDE OF JAPAN STIRS DOUBT OF HER SINCERITY. London Editor Asserts 10-10-7 Navas Ratio Claim is Unjustified, Washington, Dec. 1.—The time has come to speak with the utmost frankness. The Japanese delegation insists upon the alotment to Japan of 70 percent of the American or British capital ship strength. In the unanimous opinion of the American and British naval authorities this demand is not warranted, it is justified neither by the present new the prospective strength of the Japanese navy. Therefore, Japanese insistence raises the question of the anterior political intentions of Japan. Does Japan desire to increase her relative naval strength for the purpose of perpetulating and completing the policy of disintegration and encrampment upon which, as Japanese opponents of that policy truthfully aver, she has deliberately followed during the past decade? VIOLATES SPIRIT OF ALLIANCE Profiting by the concentration of British attention upon European affairs and by British absorption in the war, she has acted contrary to the letter and spirit of the Anglo-Japanese alliances just as she has used her position as successor to Germany in Shantung to overstop the legitimate implications of that position. If now she demands an undue ratio of naval strength and attempts to employ the complexities of the Shantung question as a lover to extract American and British assent to a hard bargain than any they can rightfully agree to, she inevitably causes a doubt upon her own sincerity and raises in an acute form a fundamental issue JAPAN'S PROFESSIONS TESTED One of the test questions of the conference is the value of Japanese professions of good-will towards China. Upon this hinges the further question, whether the militarist, Pan-Asiatic policy attributed—not without reason—to the Japanese general state is or is not the controlling influence in Japan? This again raises a further point, whether the Japanese government deliberately intends to ascertain the attitude of the nations forming the British empire? It had been hoped that Japan would long since have perceived that the adoption of any aggressive or not clearly unaggressive attitude on her part must infiltrally range the British nations against her, alliance or no alliance. Should she persist in her present course, she may render it expedient that the British delegation should be instructed to stimulate her perception.

"Another receiving apparatus was placed in front of the choir, which was under the arches to the left of the apse. "Similar careful arrangements were made at the grave and I had Bishop Brent, the bugler and others go here with me and rehearse their precise positions. Everybody co-operated heartily, for all the participants appreciate the necessity of perfection in all details. "At Madison Square Garden and the Auditorium in San Francisco the great amplifying horns were installed and pointed where they would spread the sound to the greatest number of persons. The results you know. Success was complete. Somuch so that those in the crowds felt that they were actually participating in the core mony at Arlington. "As I stood in my dugout under the stadium at Arlington—it was a real dugout from which I directed everything—I was deeply touched by some of the messages that came to me during the ceremony from our own men. For example, a hard-shell telegraph operator—you know, old telegraph operators are not a sentimental lot, for their business is to keep cool and alert, no matter what is going on about them—wired me: 'They are saying the Lord's Prayer. Don't interrupt me; I am saying it too.' Another man wired from San Francisco: 'We are singing the hymn.' "How many seconds after the actual words were pronounced did they reach such places as San Francisco?" I interrupted. "No seconds at all," replied Col. Carty; "The sounds from the amplifying horns at San Francisco were absolutely simultaneous with those from the speaker's mouth at Arlington, just as simultaneous as those heard over an ordinary ttelephone. For they were really heard over a telephone, only magnified." Col. Carty read me several letters he had received expressing the amazed delight of the writers at the perfection of the voices they had heard. One was from Col. Axton, Chaplain General of the Army, who quoted a message he had received from a former pastor of his twenty years ago in San Francisco in which the latter told the Chapain he recognized the intonation of his voice just as he had been accustomed to hear it twenty years before. "So much for the arrangements and their results," continued Col. Carty. "Now you will want to know something about how the telephones were able to reproduce every sound so much more perfectly than is usual with an ordinary telephone and yet magnified more than a million times. That figure is as nearly an accurate estimate of the magnification as is possible to give to the general public. Any other way of putting it would be meaningless except to electrical engineers. But our experts have made careful calculations and their figures show that the voice as it sounded in New York or in San Francisco was a little more than a million times amplified. Yet it lost none of its quality." "If I speak into this desk telephone and an amplifier is put on my voice will sound like a roar of unintelligible noise. That is because all the little imperfections of the instrument are amplified as well as my voice. So the first thing we have eto do is to make a telephone receiver so delicate that there will be no imperfection to amplify. It is just as if you take an exquisitely fine web of silk and put it under a microscope; every finely thread looks like a cable. What you want is to make a web so fine that even under the microscope its threads will retain all their fineness. This is what we had to do with the telephone receiver. We did it, but the instrument was now so delicate that the voice it sent over the wire was inaudible. Therefore, we placed an amplifier under the receiver in order to magnify the voice to a size sufficient to pass over the wires. At the far end this would arrive like an ordinary voice, but with harsh, disagreeable noise, just the voice as it were of a man sitting talking to you. "This, then, had to be magnified again in order to make it loud enough to be heard by hundreds of thousands. So at New York, Chicago, San Francisco and other points at which the crowds assembled the amplifier and horns were installed. "And at fourteen points along the line we established repeater stations. At each of these the electric current carrying the sound waves was restored to its original intensity by telephone relays. Current becomes weaker as it passes over a wire, until it reaches the point at which it is no longer strong enough to carry the sound and has to be reinforced. This is what takes place at each repeater station. "Iust how the voice is amplified would be difficult to explain to your readers. The apparatus is exceedingly complex and can be described only in technical terms. Suffice it to say that it is based upon the introduction of vacuum tubes. These have the quality of taking sound waves borne on an electric current and greatly enlarging them while still retaining their exact form. The machinery is complex and has to be run by experts. The great horns that direct the sound out over the crowd perform just the same service that a horn placed on a photograph performs. The sound comes from them in curving waves, like segments of a sphere, curving outward in all directions and not in a straight stream. Therefore it is not necessary to stand in a direct line before the horn in order to hear. Each horn distributes the sound over a certain area and so by grouping many horns it is possible to carry the sound to any number of persons indoors or out." "Is there no limit to the number?" I asked. "None whatever," replied Col. Cart/ "If we had had enough instruments to install, the entire population of the United States could have heard all the ceremony at Arlington as easily as those who assembled in Madison Square. More people might have heard it than did had they but known in advance or what we were going to do."

London, Nov. 30.—All government business is giving way to the gravity of the Irish situation. Both government and Irish circles express the feeling that only a miracle can avert the collapse of the conference end a renewal of warfare. It had been intended to hold a Cabinet council tonight to consider German reparations in connection with the visit of Dr. Walter Rathenau, but this had to be postponed in order to permit the special cabinet committee dealings with Irish affairs to hold a siting. Lord Birkenhead due to speak at a political meeting in Liverpool, was obliged to stay in London. He sent a message of apology explaining that his absence was owing to "grave public affairs." Premier Lloyd George also wired to the meeting, explaining that Lord Birkenhead's presence in London was 'imperatively demanded by the present position of the Irish negotiations.' SINN FEIN IS UNYIELDING A spokesman of the Sinn Fein declared this evening that there was no intention of the part of the Sinn Fein to alter its attitude regarding either the unity of Ireland or allegiance to the crown. Representatives of the Sinn Fein took pains to deny formally the statement of a London paper that first the Sinn Fein had consented to agree to a plan whereby Ulster could contract with an all-Ireland Parliament, retaining her existing rights until, or unless, she changes her mind, second to form an allegiance "which ought to be satisfactory to any British minister who is not purely a formalist; third, the appointment of a boundary commission to do limit the present political and religious frontier of Ulster in order to distribute the populations between the North and the South on a more satisfactory basis. NOT CONCERNED IN NEW PROPOSAL Regarding the suggestion that the government will propose a new scheme to Ukter, the Sinn Foin delegates say they are not concerned with it and refuse to share the government's responsibility for it. There was an another session this evening of the British delegates but nothing was forthcoming as a result of it. "Whatever the result, Lloyd George will go to Washington," a Downtown Street official said tonight. Respecting this it was stated at Sinn Foin headquarters that "such a move on the part of the Premier would not be viewed with patience or without suspicion for the reason that if Irish American support was weakened, the question of the Premier's visit to the United States, the Sinn Foin might be forced to modify its demands upon which it feels now in a position to persist?" The impossibility of maintaining the truce long after the breakdown of the conference is realized. The view expressed by the Sin₁₀ Foiners is that there would be no formal denunciation of the truce by either side, but that it would "quickly decay." It is pointed out that such provocative acts on both sides as have been occurring recently in Ireland would probably be regarded as definite breaches of the truce and cause its speedy collapse if it were not for the fact that the conference still has being. When the conference finally fails, such acts must inevitably lead to renewed warfare. DE VALERA LAYS BLAME ON NORTH IRELAND Ennis Ireland, Nov. 30.—Eamonn de Valera today delivered an address in the town hall here in which he declared if peace in Ireland was not brought about it would not be because there is not the will on the part of Ireland to make it, but because those opposed to us in Ireland do not want to make peace with us." "I may tell you," De Valera continued "that we stand today, no matter what other peoples say, exactly where we stood and for the principles for we stood four years ago. We have gone as far as we can go consistent with these principles for peace; we cannot and will not go any further. If we go further it would be for us to betray those principles which have been fought for by generations of Irishmen for the past 600 or 700 years." RECEIVES ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION De Valera had an enthusiastic reception. He spoke with great firmness when he declared that "all the power of the empire cannot break the spirit of one true nation." "We counted the cost four or five years ago," De Valera continued, "and you who have had the experience of those years assuredly will not suggest that anybody having charge of the direction of affairs or who hold the standard you entrusted to them, should for a moment give away our principles. We stand on the rock of truth and principle and will face the future with the same confidence and knowledge as we faced our work four years ago." WANTED!

THREE WORDS HEARD ACROSS THE CONTINENT AMAZING FEAT OF CARRYING AFAR WORDS SPOKEN AT ARLINGTON CEREMONY. (By Arthur Bennington.) When a hundred thousand persons in Arlington Cemetery, thirty thousand and in New York and twenty thousand in San Francisco actually took part in the ceremonies attending the burial of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Cemetery, Washington, D. C., bearing every word spoken and joining in the prayers and hymns, the magnitude and importance of the scientific achievement that made this possible was for the moment cast into shadow by the impressive solemnity of it all. The very perfection of the achievement drove public attention away from the scientific device. Nevertheless, countless thousands must have asked how it was done, how was it that one could stand in Madison Square or in the auditorium at San Francisco and listen to the words of President Harding, of Bishop Brent, of Foch and Diaz and Beatty, speaking hundreds of miles away, as if they had been standing within ten feet? How was it that the quiet words of "Our Father" came over that vast distance so clearly and distinctly that all the vast crowds were able to say the prayer in absolute unison with him who was saying it over the soldier's coffin hundreds of miles away, and that the sweet notes of the bugle sounding "Taps" over that grave in Virginia were heard in San Francisco and New York as clearly and sweetly as by those who stood reverently watching the final entombment? Amplifiers on the telephone, was the answer to those who inquired. But the answer, while correct, conveys only the vagueest of ideas to any one who is not an expert in telephony. I asked Col. John J. Carty, Vice President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, the man under whose direction $^4$ the amazing feat was accomplished to tell me just how it was done. Col. Carty is that rare combination of practical engineer and far-visioned idealist in whom the imagination of a poet is blended with the hard-headed practicality of the man who does things. He is short and slender, with a face on which many smiles have teft their marks in wrinkles. His hands are small and delicate as a girl's, with slender fingers that one thinks of as drawing exquisite harmonies from the strings of a harp. I cannot even begin to suggest the charm of the way he talks. His voice is pleasing, he explains abstruse scientific problems in the simplest of words and he intersperses his talk with striking and picturesque similitudes. The imagination he brings to bear up on his everyday work is well illustrated by some lines he wrote as proface in a booklet for his company: "I have faith that we shall some day build up a great world telephone system, making necessary to all the nations the use of a common language which will join all the peoples of the earth into one brotherhood..." "The achievement of Armistice Day" said Col. Carty, "was the fruit of two years of preparation. It is two years since we perfected the apparatus that made it possible. Forseeing then some great occasion such as this, I gave orders to make several of the machines. So we had them when the time came, But careful preparation and perfect organization were the chief factors of success. I realized that this demonstration would be either a landmark in the history of human communications or a most monumental flashe. There could be no middle ground. The occasion was so solemn, so heart-stirring that only perfection in its repre- "Therefore we had to organize most carefully to make tests that insured the precise working of every machine, to drill our own employees and many of the principal participants. To make sure that there should be no flaw at any point in the lines, we stationed a ried and trusted man every seventeen miles along each of the lines between here and the Pacific Coast. From Washington to Denver via New York we had three lines arranged so that at any point one fine could be substituted for another. Beyond Denver there were two lines. Each man was responsible for the perfect working of his own section of line. At all the relay points our host men were stationed. "At Arlington there was a difficult problem. The Auditorium is either indoors nor out but is both, it is easy to amplify a voice so that every one in a vast room can rear it; it is equally easy to amplify it in the open air so that a million persons can ear it. But here we had to combine the two; the pillars of the stadium would reflect the sound back into the outside and the sound from the amplifiers outside would enter through the robes between the pillars. We experted on the spot until we solved that problem. "To make sure that our amplifiers could carry to great distances in the open air we made other experiments and I was not satisfied until I went myself to Newark, N. J., and stood in one of the parks and listened to a voice coming from Arlington, Va. through an amplifier a thousand feet away in a tree top." "In the stadium at Arlington the stafaline stood before $a_1$ apso, in which the speakers were seated in a microlite. It was necessary that all should speak from one point. We had lectern placed to the right of the head of the coffin, with a square of carpet before it. The receiving teleonic apparatus was placed below and in front of the lectern—not touching it, for if it had been touching and the speaker had brought his hand on the reading desk it would have sounded like a cannon shot. The master of ceremonies led each speaker to the lectern, and the square of ten?" Inked. It has passed the stage of experiment," said Col. Curty. "It is now an accomplished fact and what was done on Arm'stice Day can be done anywhere. It is only a matter of making more instruments. It will work a revolution in lecturing and political campaigning. The President can make a speech to which the entire population of the United States can listen simultaneously. Orators can go about in wagons with instruments upon them and address the entire populations of the towns in which they speak. A general can address an entire army. We have only to aring wires over Canada, Central and South America to make it possible for a statesman to stand at Washington, Buenos Aires, Ottawa or any other city and speak to every inhabitant of the Western Hemisphere." "Why not of the whole world?" I asked. "That will doubtless come in time" replied Col. Carty; "but telephone across the ocean is not yet feasible. It can be done; it has been done but only experimentally and it has not yet reached a stage where it can be said to be commercially practicable. We have already talked across the ocean by wireless, but there we run up against interruptions from at meteoric conditions and from static, and these make wireless communications over great distances uncertain. But I have no doubt that in time we shall find a way to telephone freely from one continent to another, and when that day shall come this amplifying apparatus will unite the whole of mankind and we shall all have to learn one language." "You do not speak of music." I remarked. "Would it not be possible to arrange so that a whole opera sung in New York could be heard in other cities?" "That may come too, replied Col- Cartv "but not yet. We have not yet learned how to collect many voices and sounds of musical instruments scattered over the wide area of the stage and orchestra of a theatre and transmit-them over a wire. You re- member that I told you we had to get all the speaker at Arlington to stand in one spot. For you cannot scatter a multiplicity of telphone receivers about on a stage so as to catch the voices of many persons speaking or songing at many points and collect them all in one telephone. Even this may come but let us be satisfied for the time being with the great thing we have just achieved. "I see in the telephone the greatest power in the bringing of mankind in brotherhood. Every step in communications has been a step in that direction. The railroads linked country with country, city with city; the telegraph institution; then came the telephone and linked man with man. Now comes this amplified telephone and links one man with all other men at the same moment. I think I am not exaggerating when I call the achievement of Armistice Day a land mark in the history of the world." ATTITUDE OF JAPAN STIRS DOUBT OF HER SINCERTY. London Editor Asserts 10-10-7 Naval Ratio Claim is Unjustified, Washington, Dec. 1.—The time has come to speak with the utmost frankness. The Japanese delegation insists upon the alotment to Japan of 70 per cent of the American or British capital ship strength. In the unanimous opinion of the American and British naval authorities this demand is not warranted, is justified neither by the present nor the prospective strength of the Japanese navy. Therefore, Japanese insistence raises the question of the anterior political intentions of Japan. Does Japan desire to increase her relative naval strength for the purpose of perpetuating and completing the policy of disintegration and encroachment upon which, as Japanese opponents of that policy truthfully aver, she has deliberately followed during the past decade? VIOLATES SPIRIT OF ALLIANCE Profiting by the concentration of British attention upon European affairs and by British absorption in the war, she has acted contrary to the letter and spirit of the Anglo-Japanese alliances. Just as she has used her position as successor to Germany in Shaunting to overstop the legitimate implications of that position. If now she demands an undue raiio of naval strength and attempts to employ the complexities of the Shaunting question as a lever to extract American and British assent to a hard bargain than any they can righteously agree to, she inevitably casts a doubt upon her own sincerity and raises in an acute form a fundamental issue JAPAN'S PROFESSIONS TESTED One of the test questions of the conference is the value of Japanese professions of good-will towards China.

This again raises a further point, whether the Japanese government deliberately 'intends to ascertain the attitude of the nations forming the British empire? It had been hoped that Japan would long since have perceived that the adoption of any aggressive or not clearly unaggressive attitude on her part must infiltrally range the British nations against her, alliance or no alliance.

"The sounds from the amplifying horns at San Francisco were absolutely simultaneous with those from the speaker's mouth at Arlington, just as simultaneous as those heard over an ordinary telephone. For they were really heard over a telephone, only magnified." Col. Carty read me several letters he had received expressing the amazed delight of the writers at the perfection of the voices they had heard. One was from Col. Axton, Chaplain General of the Army, who quoted a message he had received from a former pastor of his twenty years ago in San Francisco in which the latter told the Chaplain he recognized the intonation of his voice just as he had been accustomed to hear it twenty years before. "So much for the arrangements and their results," continued Col. Carty.

That figure is as nearly an accurate estimate of the magnification as is possible to give to the general public. Any other way of putting it would be meaningless except to electrical engineers. But our experts have made careful calculations and their figures show that the voice as it sounded in New York or in San Francisco was a little more than a million times amplified. Yet it lost none of its quality." "If I speak into this desk telephone and an amplifier is put on my voice will sound like a roar of unintelligible noise. That is because all the little imperfections of the instrument are amplified as well as my voice. So the first thing we have eto do is to make a telephone receiver so delicate that there will be no imperfection to amplify. It is just as if you take an exquisitely fine web of silk and put it under a microscope; every finny thread looks like a cable. What you want is to make a web so fine that even under the microscope its threads will retain all their fineness. This is what we had to do with the telephone receiver. We did it, but the instrument was now so delicate that the voice it sent over the wire was inaudible. Therefore, we placed an amplifier under the receiver in order to magnify the voice to a size sufficient to pass over the wires. At the far end this would arrive like an ordinary voice, but with harsh, disagreeable noise, just the voice as it were of a man sitting talking to you. "This, then, had to be magnified again in order to make it loud enough to be heard by hundreds of thousands. So at New York, Chicago, San Francisco co and other points at which the crowds assembled the amplifier and horns were installed. "And at fourteen points along the line we established repeater stations. At each of these the electric current carrying the sound waves was restored to its original intensity by telephone relays. Current becomes weaker as it passes over a wire, until it reaches the point at which it is no longer strong enough to carry the sound and has to be reinforced. This is what takes place at each repeater station. "Iust how the voice is amplified would be difficult to explain to your readers. The apparatus is exceedingly complex and can be described only in technical terms. Suffice it to say that it is based upon the introduction of vacuum tubes. These have the quality of taking sound waves borne on an electric current and greatly enlarging them while still retaining their exact form. The machinery is complex and has to be run by experts. The great horns that direct the sound out over the crowd perform just the same service that a horn placed on a photograph performs. The sound comes from them in curving waves, like segments of a sphere, curving outward in all directions and not in a straight stream. Therefore it is not necessary to stand in a direct line before the horn in order to hear. Each horn distributes the sound over a certain area and so by grouping many horns it is possible to carry the sound to any aural number of persons indoors or out." "Is there no limit to the number?" I asked. "None whatever," replied Col. Carr. "If we had had enough instruments to install, the entire population of the United States could have heard all the ceremony at Arlington as easily as those who assembled in Madison Square. More people might have heard it than did had they but known in advance or what we were going to do."

London, Nov. 30.—All government business is giving way to the gravity of the Irish situation. Both government and Irish circles express the feeling that only a miracle can avert the collapse of the conference end a renewal of warfare. It had been intended to hold a Cabinet council tonight to consider German reparations in connection with the visit of Dr. Walter Rathenau, but this had to be postponed in order to permit the special cabinet committee dealings with Irish affairs to hold a sitting. Lord Birkenhead due to speak at a political meeting in Liverpool, was obliged to stay in London. He sent a message of apology explaining that his absence was owing to "grave public affairs." Premier Lloyd George also wired to the meeting, explaining that Lord Birk enhead's presence in London was "imperatively demanded by the present position of the Irish negotiations." SINN FEIN IS UNYIELDING A spokesman of the Sinn Fein declared this evening that there was no intention of the part of the Sinn Fein to alter its attitude regarding either the unity of Ireland or allegiance to the crown. Representatives of the Sinn Fein took pains to deny formally the statement of a London paper that first the Sinn Fein had consented to agree to a plan whereby Ulster could contract with an all-Ireland Parliament, retaining her existing rights until, or unless, she changes her mind, second to form an allegiance "which ought to be satisfactory to any British minister who is not purely a formalist; third, the appointment of a boundary commission to delimit tre present political and religious frontier of Ulster in order to distribute the populations between the North and the South on a more satisfactory basis. NOT CONCERNED IN NEW PROPOSAL Regarding the suggestion that the government will propose a new scheme to Ukter, the Slim Fein delegates say they are not concerned with it and refuse to share the government's responsibility for it. There was another session this evening of the British delegates but nothing was forthcoming as a result of it. "Whatever the result, Lloyd George will go to Washington," a Downstreet official said tonight. Respecting this it was stated at Slim Fein headquarters that "such a move on the part of the Premier would not be viewed with patience or without suspicion for the reason that if Irish American support was weakened, the question of the Premier's visit to the United States, the Slim Fein might be forced to modify its demands upon which it feels now in a position to persist?" The impossibility of maintaining the truce long after the breakdown of the conference is realized. The view expressed by the Sin_n Feiners is that there would be no formal denunciation of the truce by either side, but that it would "quickly decay." It is pointed out that such provocative acts on both sides as have been occurring recently in Ireland would probably be regarded as definite breaches of the truce and cause its speedy collapse if it were not for the fact that the conference still has being. When the confer once finally fails, such acts must inevitably lead to renewed warfare. DE VALERA LAYS BLAME ON NORTH IRELAND Ennis Ireland, Nov. 30—Emmond de Valera today delivered an address in the town hall here in which he declared if peace in Ireland was not brought about it would not be because there is not the will on the part of Ireland to make it, but because those opposed to us in Ireland do not want to make peace with us." "I may tell you," De Valera continued "that we stand today, no matter what other peoples say, exactly where we stood and for the principles for we stood four years ago. We have gone as far as we can go consistent with these principles for peace; we cannot and will not go any further. If we go further it would be for us to betray those principles which have been fought for by generations of Irishmen for the past 600 or 700 years." RECEIVES ENTHUSIASTIC RECIPTION De Valera had an enthusiastic reception. He spoke with great firmness who he declared that "all the power of the empire cannot break the spirit of one true nation." "We counted the cost four or five years ago," De Valera continued, "and you who have had the experience of those years assuredly will not suggest that anybody having charge of the direction of affairs or who hold the standard you entrusted to them, should for a moment give away our principles. We stand on the rock of truth and principle and will face the future with the same confidence and knowledge as we faced our work four years ago." WANTED!

But we are gad to learn that the present government is considering a liberal program of reform for tho future. Portugal and Spain have never drawn % legal custo Hne against per- sons of culture who happen to be of Negro descent. Portugak has a hu- raano code for the natives and has be gun their education in somo regions, But unfortunately, the industrial con- cessions of Portuguese Africa arg alt most wholly in the hands of forelg- ners whom Portugal cannot or will not control and who are exploiting land and. re-establishing the African slave trade. ‘The United States of Amerien after brutally enslaving imiltions of black folks suddenly cmaneipated them and began their education; but it acted without system or forethought, throw- ing the freed men upon the world penniless and landless, educating them without thoroughness ‘and system, and subjecting them the while to lynching, Auwiessness, discrimination, insuit and slander, such us human beings have soldom endured and survived. To sive their own government, they enfran chized the Negro and then whey dan- gor passed, allowed hundreds of thous ands of educated and civilized black folles to be Inwlessly disfranchised and subjected to a caste systum; and, at the same tims, in 1176, 1812," 1861 1897 und 1917, they asked and’ allow: ed thousands of black mey to offer up their lives as a sacrifice to ‘the coun try which despised and despises them.
