Absolute Equality
Means of
Advancement

New York, Oct. 10.-The "Nation"
announces the first American publica-
ton of the manifesto of the Pan-Afri-
can Congress in London. Addressed
to the "World" the manifesto affirms
the absolute equality of races as the
foundation of world peace and human
advancement.
1t approves as "the beginning of
wisdom the establishment of political
Institutions among suppressed peoples,
and protests against the commercial
exploitation of the Negro. The bodies,
minds and souls of Fiji and Congo"
it declares, "are judged almost solely
by the quotations on the BOurse. The
day of such world organization is past
and . the twentieth century must
come to judge men as men and not
merely as material and labor"
The manifesto demands for sup
pressed races, recognition, education,
self government and freedom of cul-
ture and the ancient common owner

ship of the land and its natural fruits"
The future of Africa, it says, is a
choice between complete assimilation
by two or three powers, with internal
racial equality or the rise of great
black African state autonomous
and sovereign"

10 u. S. Musicians
Missing as Liner
Sinks After Crash
Members of Southern Syn
copated Orchestra Vic
Tins of Accident Off
Scotch Coast

New York City, Oct. 13-According
to the best information available
here twenty-four persons, including
ten colored members of the American
Southern Syncopated Orchestra per-
ished when the Laird liner, Rowan,
sank off the southwest coast of Scot
land, following two collisions Sun
day
The accident was due to II double
collision in the North Channel off
Corsewall Point early in the morning,
the Rowan first collided with the
West Camak, which she damaged
badly.
Wireless calls brought the Clan
liner Clan Malchom, but the latter in
confusion and heavy fog ran into the
disabled Rowan, which sank immed-
lately.
An official statement says the
Rowan carried ninety-three persons in
Guiding crew and was bound from
Glasgow, Scotland, to Dublin, Ireland.
The West Camak helped in the res
cue work, afterward putting into Glas-
Cow with twenty-siX survivors. Capt.
Donald Brown of Glasgow is reported
to have gone down with the Rowan.
Three other vessels also answered the
call and completed the work of res
cue as far as it was possible.
One of the men known to have died
after being pulled out of the water
was Peter Robinson, drummer.
The Syncopated orchestra which
went to London in June, 1919, gave
performances there and vicinity until
two months ago when they made
tour of Scotland. There were origin
ally 80 members, about 10 of them
British players.

FRANCE is HIGHLY PRAISED

sands of black men to offer up their
lives as sacrifice to the country
which despised them.
France Alone Democratic.
France alone of the great colonial
powers has sought to place her cul-
tured black citizens on plane of alb
solute legal and social equality with
her white, and give them representa-
ton in her highest legislature. In her
colonies she has a widespread but still
imperfect system of state education.
This splendid beginning must he com
pleted by widening the political bases
of her native government, by restor-
ing to her indigenes the ownership of
the soil, by protecting native labor
against the aggression of established
capital, and by compelling no black
man or white, to be a soldier unless
the country gives him Il voice in his
own government"

The other resolution was sent up from

Chicago, Ill.-The grand old Eighth
regiment signalized its liberalization
by going to camp this year with 1850
men, the largest number in the mill
tary history of the state of Illinois.
In addition to this the regiment car

unreal recognition of native law and

declined even to train black and brown
men in real self-gOvernment, TO recoS-
nize civilized black folks as civilized,
or to grant to colored colonies those
rights of self-government which it
freely gives to white men.
Belgium Exploits the Congo.
Belgium as nation has but recent
iy assumed responsibility for her col
onies, and has taken some steps to
lift them from the worst abuses of the
autocratic regime but she has not yet
instituted any adequate state system
of education, she has not confirmed to
the people the possession of their land
and labor, and she shows no disposi-
tion to allow the natives any voice in
their own government or to provide
for their political future. Her colonial
policy is still mainly demoniated by
the banks and great corporations who
are determined to exploit Congo rath-
er than civilize it.
Portugal and Spain Has Humane

Portugal and Spain have never had

Portugal has Il humane code for the

 There Is undoubtedly less danger of the Territory's suffering at tbS hands Of her own people who live here and want to See her move up ahd on than from corporations and companies operating from the stat es. The Salmon industry Is a case iu point. These people are not AL asEans and do not care to be; thev have no interest in the territory a side fvom making money and if the. can rob th, waters of the fish and make x fortune thereby they care nothing as to what becomes Of the people after they have gone.
