EDWIN BARCLAY, LIBERIAN
SECRETARY, IN THE U. 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. •
