| is the predominant military state in
the world-on the side of Negro
right. Let US look at few facts.
THE French army is already one
third Negro. The birth rate of
France is stationary. But the birth
rate of the Negro is not stationary.
There is one way and only one by
which France can maintain a perm
anent parity of power with her age
long enemy, Germany, and that is
with the help of the African Negro.
We Negroes therefore hold the bal
ance of power in the greatest quar-
rel in Western civilization.
What more could we ask as an in
strument for securing our rights IN
the world? France shall be our
spokesman among the white powers.
When on the next occasion a colored
nation, whether Asiatic or African,
demands as a principle, say, of the
League of Nations, the recognition
of racial equality, and when some
new Mr.. Wilson, as the protagonist
of democracy, chooses to oppose that
principle, then France shall stand
upon it. She shall stand upon it be-
cause that will be the one condition
of her being able to put any reliance
upon her largest military raw mate
rial In any vital Negro question,
this greatest of the military powers
will support US. We must
ask large price for our military sup
port; and that is the greatest Politi-
cal asset of the Negro race today"
So Mr.. Angel interprets the Ne
gro in France and the willingness of
the great mass of Negroes in the
African possessions, who ten years
ago did not know the Rhine from the
Congo, to accept the leadership of
their black Frenchmen in high Office
and be conscripted to fight in Europe.
This is THE Negro Conquest of
France" a political conquest that
may be of far reaching significance
to all of Europe.
And yet is that just what Mr.. An
CELL means by the Negro conquest9
He has a footnote, one that he in
tends to be sinister. In it he sug-
gests a racial conquest of France, a
mingling of black and white blood.
Is this his conquest? You must read
it and make your own judgment At
any rate it is a significant article, per-
haps, the best of number of articles
of liberal tendency published recently |

/ am turning from books to a
magazine article that seems to me OF
especial significance. Mr.. Norman
Angel is a we'll known English writ
er, who has broad views on interna-
tional questions. He attended some
of the sessions of the Pan African
Congress both in London and in
Paris.
This article is of great importance
because it shows US clearly what
those who attended the Pan African
Congress observed, that the French
Negro is first a Frenchman and sec
ond a Negrs. l quote Mr.. Angell:
THE English speaking group lat the
congress) habitually spoke of them
selves as we Negroes while those
from French territory spoke of them
selves as we Frenchmen.' This, as
Mr.. Angel goes on to explain, comes
from the fact that France draws no
color line. The Negro members of
the Chamber of Deputies, for in
stance, or of the legal profession,
have not only no official difficulties,
they have no social difficulties in
their relationship with their white
colleagues. They dine in the homes
of members of the cabinet, plead for
white clients in the courts, and it
would never even occur to their
French colleagues to treat them with
any sort of social exclusion" France
has managed to make these men and
countless other Africans. feel that
they are all French in spirit and.feel-
ing as we'll as in law. Mr.. Angel
finds something fine about this from
the purely moral or sentimental as
pect" but he wants us to consider it
politically.
And what does it mean politically
To Mr.. Angel it means this: That
hereafter the success of France
means Negro success, and that the
french negroes, wiser than the VS.
iOnaries who talk of a consolidarity
of the black race, have France to
fight their battles for better treat
ment the world over. The French
Negro leader thought, as Mr.. Angel
conceives it from the meetings of the
congress but still more from private
conversation, is something like this:
There is a great instrument of
power which can be used for the de-
fence of Negro interest and right
within our reach if we play our cards
properly. That instrument is the po-
litical and military power of France.

HAITPS DELEGATES TO THE
HAGUE DENOUNCES AMER
ICAN INVASION

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, 20
Fifth avenue, New York, has made
public statement by NJ. Pierre Hudi-
court, HATS delegate to the second
Hague Conference and former head
of the bar association in Haiti's cap
ital city, Port au Prince. H. Hudi-
court, who is in New York on his
way to Washington to make addition
al protest to the United States Senate
against American occupation of his
country, made the following state
ment:
"In my capacity as Haitian delegate
to the second conference at the
Hague, where ! signed all the con-
ventions there adopted, l am obliged
to protest against the bad faith of the
American government which, under
pressure of hnanciers and business
men, decided to invade Haitian ter
ritory and to destroy our national in
dependence. Our independence, like
that of America, was conquered at the
price of our best blood and the great
est sacrifices. Ny hope is to move
the American people as profoundly as
possible to decide their government
to accomplish the only possible ACT
of justice to Haiti, which is to re-
tire from the invaded territory.
Il consider as odious hypocrisy the
prstexts of humanity and interest in
the Haitian people invoked by the
United States Government in perpe-
trating upon Haiti a reign of terror
and extortion, continued since 1915.
The treaty of 1915 cannot be invoked
against Haiti as basis for the Amer
lean regime for it was imposed on the
country as a result of hyprocritical
deceit and acts of violence. If an in
dividual had done to another's hurt
what the United States Government
has done to the Haitian people, the
only punishment adequate would be
life imprisonment or the scaffold."

DYER BILL PASSED BY HOUSE
NOW GOES TO U. S. SENATE

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, 20
Fifth avenue, has issued a statement
calling the passage of the Dyer Anti
Lynching bill by the House of Rep
resentatives a triumph in the fight
against mob rule in America and ask
ing all citizens to work together to
insure passage of the bill by the
United States Senate, to which IT now
goes. The statement follows:
AT three-thirty O'Clock on January
26, 1922, after eleven years of effort
by the N. A. A. c. P, and by other
bodies, the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill
was enacted by the House of Rep
resentatives in Washington, by a vote
of go to l19. Congress has issued
a message to the mobber and the
lyncher which he can no longer ig-
more. A tong step has been taken
toward ending what has been the
shame of our country for the last
fifty years.
THE bill as passed by the House
of Representatives is called "A Bill
to assure to persons within the juris-
diction of every State the equal pro-
lection of the laws, and to punish the
crime of lynching' 1t defines mob
or riotous assemblage' as three or
more persons acting in concert to
deprive any person of his life, with
out authority of law, as punishment
for some crime, or to prevent COM
mission of some actual or supposed
public offense.
THE Dyer bill was introduced in
the House of Representatives on
April II, 1921, and was favorably re-
ported by the Committee on the Ju-
dietary on October 20, 1921. 1t was
made the subject of a special rule,
which was passed by a two-thirds
vote of the House General debate
on the bill was begun on the recon-
vening of Congress in January, of
1922, fourteen hours of debate being
assigned to it
THE efforts of the N. A. A. c. P.
to have this bill enacted were begun
when Mr. Harding was elected Pres
ident. James Weldon Johnson, sec
Rotary of the N. A. A. c. p, repeat
edly called on the President and pre-
vailed upon him to introduce in his
message to Congress a plea that the
stain of barbaric lynehing be wiped
from the banners of American de-
mocracy. Mr.. johnson was instru-
mental in having inserted in the Re
publican national platform a pledge
that lynching would be dealt with
-At every step during the progress
of the bill Mr.. Johnson was in clos
est conference with the leaders in
the House of Representatives. Often
leaders stepped of the floor of the
House of Representatives to consult
with Mr.. johnson on tactics to be
pursued or on arguments to be ad-
vanoed. The statistics prepared by
