S. Mission Is a Secret—Rubber In terests Developing Liberia — Homeland Problem Again Up for Discussion. WASHINGTON.—With the ar rival of Edwin Barclay on the steamer Paris, in New York, specu lation is rife in official circles in Washington as to the purpose of Dr. Barclay’s visit in his official capacity as Liberian Secretary of State. After being accorded diplomatic courtesies by the representatives of American State Department, the Honorable Mr. Barclay was also welcomed by Dr. Lyons of Balti more, who is the Liberian consul general in the United States. There has been some trouble be tween the French authorities and the natives in the Zinta section on the frontier and Secretary Barclay has just come from Paris, France. It will be remembered that the American Congress some time ago turned down a five million dollar loan for Liberia after it had been approved by the executive depart ment of the U. S. government. it is understood that some of the mammoth rubber companies of America are planning a deal with the Liberian government in ex-, change for much-needed rights and privileges in order that America may break the British corner of the raw rubber supply. Ihe arrival of ofii rial represen tatives of the Liberian Republic always revives interest in the rela tions of the African Homeland to the tremendous Race population here in the U. S. It vi'l he re membered that a representative of the Homeland lately spoke strongly against Garvey’s idea. Opposes Garvey Idea During Secretary Barclay’s visit Inter-Racial News Service cor respondent. have been instructed by Ramsey Ray, general manager, to interview Race notables in va rious sections in regard to the actual status o.' our Group in eacij portion of the United States. In a conversation, Madame Ma mie Hightower, the famous Beauty Culturist and originator of th • Golden Brown Preparations, had this to say: ‘1 am very happy of cfiurse to welcome Secretary Barclay both : because of his distinguished po i tion in a friendly government and because of his noble ancestry. I have not forgotten that another Barclay served as President of our African Homeland ii the early years of the present century and • that the Barclay fnmi'v h.is fur nished a Secretary of Slate at a i other period besides at tiie pres ent.” “Like the Philippines, for mu tually good reasons Liberia should remain the good and true friend of America at all times. Trade Com merce, Finance, all these things alone will dictate such a course, even if it were no* an imperative obligation bu’ed on the past his tory of Liberia and its settlement by the American Colonization So ciety, mst a little over 100 years ago.” ‘I think that the relations of the people of cur Race to both the gov ernment and natives of Liberia must be one of helpfulness, friend liness and cordial co-operation. By ' careful study and by constant d * velopmejit it should be possible in time to develop the vast, the al most unknown interior of the Hpmeland to a land of health and ! prosperity. Like the Alaska of rifty years ago, Liberia means to ' most of us a sort of a dreamland, a wilderness rather than a grin ping, actual, living reality with ' magnificent potentialities. But . when on» looks back through de- J velopment of our Race, particu larly here in the South the iast ' quarter of a century, it is impos- ' sibie and almost foolhardy to sug gest leaving this land of wealth and health for the uncertainty of . the primitive.” New Schools in South ! “I know it is unpopular to take I this view, but when I look back at ; the five reasons in the preamble to i Liberia’s Declaration of Independ ence I find five major reasons at ■ that time (1847) for further im migration from the U. S. to i Africa: Exclusive frorr. civil of- i fices; exception from participa tion in Government taxation with- ' out consideration; discriminations ; without avenues of improvements; i contribution without protection.” i “Now seventy-five years after i EDWIN BARCLAY. our Race in the South and in the United States with its schools, its colleges, its certain civil officials, its freedom and'its power at the polls, looks about with pride at a country which has done so much to minimize oppression and ignor ance. (< ranted there are certain prejudices still existing against our color yet. we are not alone, and peoples of other creeds and colors, make the same complaint.” “Through Presidents like Lin coln and Roosevelt, through the work of our own great leaders like Washington, Moton and Fuller, the Race in North America has grad ually come to stand on the higher grounds of citizenship and intel lectuality.” “In the South we find new schools and colleges springing up to meet the demand for more edu cation and better education for our Lace. Here in Memphis, for in "ame, we are just completing a monster, modern, completely equipped high school, a model of secondary education under the per sonal direction of Prof. Hamilton, a scholar and musician, of far more than local reputation. In Memphis, for instance, long before t e art of instrumental music was developed along band lines in our white schools, Prof. Hamilton had organized a splendid boys’ brass band at Kortrecht High.” Racial Advancement “I think that we should encour age and always continue to en courage Liberia as a home for the depressed and destitute, but I feel very strongly that with the con stant advancement of the Race in the U. S. that there is but one way to greater happiness and improve ment to almost ideal living condi tions. That is by sending more of our boys and girls to our splen did public and private schools, urg ing a more general study of the racial problems by leading citizens of both colors, by showing our ap preciation of the splendid assist ance that is being rendered us by such men as Bishop Thomas F. (tailor, executive head of the Epis copal Church in North America, Julian Rosenwald of Chicago and other white leaders by determining to be better citizens and improve our standards of living. The sur est way to still greater tolera tion is to prove ourselves worthy of the Republic.” Madame Hightower is known in almost all civilized countries of the world for her work as a Beauty Specialist and friend of our girls and women. She has launched the great National Golden Brown Beauty Contest which is sweeping the entire U. S. At the close' of the Contest, Sept. 15th, the lovely Race girl in Norh America as chosen by votes will receive a gor geous Hudson Super-Six automo bile, a free trip to Atlantic City, a $100.00 Trousseau and the queenly crown of beauty. There are from 50 to 100 free votes with every one of my Golden Brown Preparations which are on sale by all druggists and agents of Madame Hightower in every nook and cranny of the nation. Thousands upon thousands of votes are pouring in the offices of the Golden Brown Chemical Company at Memphis, Tenn., cast by the contestants and friends. • The Monitor Is Fighting YOUR BATTLES—BOOST IT! x~xk**x~x~xkk~x~x**<~x~x~x~x*<~xx~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x* | I Now Is the Time ;j; * to Register f 4 Y X Your children in the class of Interpretive Dancing conducted X *i X Wednesday afternoons after schoql at St. Benedict’s x •{• Academy, 25th and Grant, by X X Miss Teressa Jones f •> ?
