Spirit OF UNREST IN
india NOW BEYOND
CONTROL OF BRITISH
(Associated Negro Press)

London, Eng, Nov An strong
Indictment of Great Britains policy in
India, Lord Sydenham, former gov
ernor of Bombay, spoke in the house
of lords today, declaring the govern
ments authority in India had weak
ened, and at this moment the unrest
seemingly was past all control
A lengthy debate on the pressing
India problem, which is today agi-
tated by the fact that the Moplah
uprising, though local in character, is
still unsurpassed followed, despite
the fact that Lord Curzon, the foreign
minister and leader of the house of
lords, protested it was undesirable to
have discussion on this subject at
present and had requested it's post
ponement.
Lord Syndenham said the Indian
army was being tampered with by
agitators. Some of the smaller states
already had been the scene of organ
lied riots, he said, and the almost
bolshevistic municipal council of
Lahore had ordered the superintend-
ent of the fire brigade, who was a
British officer to wear the uniform of
the agitator Ghandi. Neglect and
non-enforcement of the law had pro-
duced race ratered to an extent
never seen before
ut is not an Indian ISSUE" he said,
but worldwide issue. A revolt of
the Colored races is going on all over
the world against the ascendency of
the white races. Formerly we gov
erned India on the superiority of the
British race. That superiority is now
challenged and we cannot evade the
challenge"

COMING ELECTION WILL
prove STRENGTH OF
negro VOTE IN SOUTH

Washington. D. c., Nov. 4.-Novem-
ber the Sth. 1921, is day to be
reckoned with in the annals of po-
litical history so far as Colored
Americans are concerned. 1t may
well be named Decision Day" It is
the day on which the first real test
of the effects of the new republican
administration policy.
The test vii, come in many places,
but will be most noticeable in New
York, Louisville and Virginia These
three centers are the "sign posts"
of the new era. In New York, Mayor
Hylan will poll large number of
Colored votes, more than any prev
ious candidate has ever received.
In Louisville, where the Lincoln
Independent party has been formed,
there is bitter fight. The lily white
Republicans, who have proved false
to their trust, according to Colored
citizens. have become alarmed, and
are resorting to all the old time tricks
of dirty politics" to discount the
serious efforts of the large Lincoln
following Both Louisville newspa-
pers, the Louisville News and the
Louisville Leader, are backing the
new party, and predict the defeat of
the Republican ticket, as protest
against injustice.
The Virginia situation has become
whirlpool of activity. The "big
guns" of the administration, includ-
ing the president have been into the
forbidden territory" and added the
prestige of their presence, albeit, the
presidents visit ostensibly was not
political
State Chairman Jos. R. Pollard, and
John Mitchell, Jr., of Virginia, the lat
ter a candidate for governor, declare
there was nothing left for them to do,
when the Republican party virtually
kicked them out, except form party
of their own, and they will leave no
stone unturned to defeat the efforts
of the lily white Republicans, under
Bascom Slemp.
1t is pointed out in all seriousness,
that the success of the Republican
party in these localities, or even
gain, will throw such swagger into
the political backs of the hackers of
White Leadership Repubilanism
Everywhere" that the poor children
of the Sun" will be forced into politi-
cal paralysis, so far as Republicans
are concerned. If it gets a "set-
back" then the governors, senator's,
congressman and "what-nots" to be
elected in 1922, will make a grand
rush for definite change of policy,
to include all American citizens in
party organization effort on merit, and
not prescription because of color.
"Expediency," said Major John r.
Lynch, in special interview with the
Associated Negro Press" was never
good substitute for right, and is
doomed to failure from the beginning.
THE Colored people must bear their
part well in passing through this po-
litical crisis, for upon conduct now
depends the veal or woe of the race
for years to come"

UNIVERSITY OF CALF.
NOW HAS BRANCH OF
ALPHA PHI ALPHA frat
(Associated Negro Press)

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 4.-Through
the efforts of Attorney C. A. Jones
of Los Angeles, the Alpha Delta Chap
ter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity
was recently established in the Uni
versity of Southern California. Quite
a large humber of Colored students
have pursued coures at the Univer-
sity of Southern California for the
past few years and need has been
felt for connecting link between
them and other students of the Race
and through the establishment Of this
chapter they have been able to con-
meet themselves with Colored stu
dents in practically all of the leading
collegiate institutions of the country
both white and Colored.
The chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity in the University of South
ern California. which has the same
standing as the fraternities of other
races, marks the first Negro collegiate
fraternity to be established west of
Kansas, and its significance cannot be
put in better words than those of Mr..
Claude Reeves, ex-president of the
Associated Students of the University
of Southern California; 'The estab-
lishment of a national fraternity of
the character of the Alpha Phi Alpha
among the Colored students marks
the greatest accomplishment of the
Negro students in the history of the
University, for through such a fratern-
ity many promising students and
athletes will be attracted to the Uni
versity.
The membership of the Alpha
Delta chapter at the University of
Southern California consists of Bert
Mcdonald, College of Law, president;
William Pillow, senior college of Den
istry, vice president; DR.. T. A. Greene,
Dentist, secretary; Howard Allen,
track star, treasurer; James Nc
Gregor, debater and orator; and
Messrs Clifford Gordon, football
star; Samuel Danley, Arthhr Prince,

SENATE Investigation
Committee LAYS BARE
HAITIAN ATROCITIES
ASSOCIATED Negro Press)


Washington. D. c., Nov 4. The
mixed mass of charges and denials of
atrocities. of American Marines in
Haiti has been penetrated at last by
the senate committee, headed by SEN
ator Mccormick of Illinois last We'd
nesday.
The committee learned from Major
T. C. Turner United State Marine
corps that approximately $500 ma
tives were killed in action during the
period of American occupation. The
official records of the marine corps
submitted to the committee by Major
Turner stated that 1,132. natives we e
killed in action from October 1,-1919
to October 1, 1920.
Major Turner estimated that an
proximately 100 native Haitians were
killed ty Haitian grenarmes, unlc9
the command of American marine Of
ficers, when they attempted to escape
from road building gangs into whicn
they had been pressed against theiI
will.
Natives Killed Without Trial
Some native Haitians were execut-
ed without trial, according to Major
Turner. The major was questioned at
length about constantly recurring
report that band of Is to 10 Halt
ians were executed without trial in a
cemetery by a body of Haitian
gendarmes under the command of
Lieutenant La Vole, an American
Marine. He had Investigated this re-
port, he stated but had been unable.
to locate any eye-witnesses of the re-
ported execution. Nevertheless .he,I
expressed the opinion that something.
like that did occur,
DO you mean that natives were
unlawfully killed?' he was, asked.
yes" he replied.

ance of La Vole?"
eyes"
Says Officers Lied
"And you believes that his denial
was untrue?"
Eyes"
Major Turner told the committee
that few airplanes we're used by the
marine corps for scouting purposes
and to drop bombs upon rebellious
natives. After time, however, the
natives refrained from gathering in
groups of sufficient size to justify
bombing and this form of warfare
was abandoned.
The witness also stated that the
practice of forcing Haitians into in
voluntary servitude in road building
gangs under the rifles of the Ameri-
can officered gendarmes had led to
unsatisfactory results and had been
stopped.
Colonel Hooker's Report
The committee also received as
evidence a copy of a report made by
Lieutenant Colonel Hooker to General
A. w. Catlin in January, 1919. The
report stated that Lieutenant B. P.
Williams admitted killing several ma
tives who attempted to escape from
road work and that Lieutenant La
Vole admitted six persons had been
shot.
Colonel Hooker's report was offer
ed to support Major Turner's state
ment that the natives were forcibly
held in servitude for work on the
roads for months, and that conditions
became so bad that an order was is
sued prohibiting forced labor

viii Demand the Rest.

7THE National Woman's party have had very
interesting Convention this week in Washing
ton. There is to question their
eaTnestness, their womans persistence and determi-
nation, their drawing power. They had galaxy
of attractions, and men we'll representatives of
other organizations Of women, quite ready and
more than willing, to appear and testify.
They propose to continue their activities until
they have effected the removal of all the remaining
forms OF subjecton of women" Just what these
remaining forms are, some are wondering In
tsct If enumerated, most men would vote to grant
them at once, that this branch of woman's work
might end and women rest from wearying
1t is interesting, however, to recall to mind the
tremendous advance women have made in the past
fifty years along the road of complete equality with
men. Then the movement was known "Woman's
Rights" Its chief objective was to gain legal rights,
the right to own property, to economic independence
and for the wfe's freedom from economic subserv-
ience
Those were the days when Dr. Mary Walker in
sisted upon wearing trousers, when Pennsylvania
still had law designating the size of stick man
might use in whipping his wife, when on marriage,
all a woman's property became the sole possession
of her husband, and when even her children were
hers only so far as that pleased her husband.
But all of this has now been changed She has
every right has and her own besides She
also has all political rights What else she wants,
it IS only for her to say. Men have grown wiser
with the years and have learned the folly of oppos-
ing. not one woman's will, but that of combined
womsnhood
The Washington herald., 1921-02-19
A Growing Demand.

Those who largely control the moving picture
interests among the shrewdest of American
business 1t is essential to their continued hold
upon this business that they should constantly and
rightly interpret public sentiment and public demand
If they shrewd and as keen to see as they
are credited, they hardly fail to the
nsistent demand for clean wholesome amusing and
educational pictures for children. They have had
temporary spasms in this direction, but they have
never given what wanted
They have produced but few films especially for
children that have been free of the sensational that
have not been spoiled by some touch of the morbid
the horrible, the gruesome. They have not
been able to get clear of their melodramatic in
stinct their devotion to death-bed scenes, bit of
maudlin sentiment or hair raising adventure acci-
dent killing.
They could learn a lot to just what parents
want for their children and what children most
joy, by viewing the pictures the women of Wash
ngton have shown the past month and for
child audiences. In fact the gEown-uPs have en-
joyed them much as have the youngsters
Or they might call in consultation a group of
educators, both men and women, a group of parents
of both sexes, and a group of those interested in
child welfare. These could tell them their mistakes.
They then would attempt to merely dramatic
stories nominally for children, many OF which
phasize, when pictured, what the text leaves sub
merged and what in fact should not be there at all.
They would not seek for dramatic effects of
the street variety. They would stick the simple,
the pretty, the delightful, the cheerful, with plenty
of action and mirthful situations, but without hint
OF the morbid, splashed with wrong teaching.
They would interlace these with what is genuinely
educational
Either the moving picture mast supply
this demand and supply it with full sets of reels
covering entire show periods they will find
their child audiences taken from them by the
schools which already becoming rivals, and
by organizations like this fthe of Wash
ngton.

achievement of the special session of 1870. But
nothing has been done. H..
Why nothing has been done, why there has
been response when response seemed so easy no
one has pretended to say. There has been not so
much mention of budget during this session,
where so much time has been devoted to wholly
new legislation of questionable value, if not fam
tastic form, go G-
But the House took one admirable step. 1t or
ganized to put in effect the law by forming single
enlarged appropriation committee to which
added the chairmen of those other committees that
had had the right to frame special appropriation
measures.
This was sensible. 1t was conforming to party
pledges 1t essential to making good the
promise of economy in expenditures. The admin
istration in submitting its final estimates played the
usual game. 1t granted everything asked by every
| body, leaving to the Republicans the onus of de-
NAL.
70 1t certainly was desirable, if not indeed essen
tia that these estimates should be considered
whole and balanced one with the other. 1t was a
movement for real economy; to simplify national
expenditure and guard against waste.
But it has come up against age-old human ma
ture which puts self first. Some members of the
committees shorn of their power to daily with the
public Treasury and dispense lsrgess have devoted
much of their time to simply making trouble. They
are doing their level to discredit and hamper
the system.
They are trying, like the liquor men of old, to
make the new conditions than those that
were. They want back their power to dispense
loaves and fishes, not in the interest of the tax
payer, not for economy, but for personal, political
advantage.
Having failed to perfect the budget bill by
making it law this Congress leaves it for the next
to begin again If the next Congress fails in
this if these obstructive tactics are continued the
Democrats will not fail to see their advantage of a
material issue in the next election.
