Warned the U.N. report. -There is no doubt that multinational corporations could precipitate a currency crisis if they were to move only a small proportion of their assets from (me currency to another.

Without letting up in its vitriolic denunciation of the mayor, the article continued to question the leadership of Mayor Bradley. "...Standard Oil has as much right to ask for support of the Arabs right to live and sell oil to the United States as Bradley has to support killing Arabs in an effort to steal their land and wealth...If Jews call for the bombing of Watts, does Bradley say he will also call for bombing Blacks in Watts? His actions indicate he will..." CHARGES O F "pro-Jewish" activity on the part of Mayor Bradley was brought out in another editorial which appeared recently in a Hollywood publication. The article referred to the tactics of Deputy Mayor, Morrie Weiper, top Jewish aide. "Strong-arm, crude boss rule and political 'arm twisting' are being practiced by Mayor Tom Bradley in connection with the Tenth District Special Councilmanic election," the editorial charged. The Tenth District Councilmanic seat was vacated when Mayor

Bradley who represented the district was elected as Mayor of Los Angeles. "Bradley's top political aide, Morrie Weiner, has been telling political hopefuls all over the city that they had better support his handpicked candidate David Cunningham, or else!" — the editorial continued.

Manufacturing profits also soar from items produced in so- called Nationalist China, South Korea, and elsewhere in non-free Asia, not to mention the profits from investments in the heavily-exploited hemisphere south of the U.S. SIGNIFICANTLY, the U.N. report offers that these concerns should also renounce any alleged right to interfere in actions taken by foreign governments against subsidiaries of their domestic firms. In September, a U.N. committee of 20 international experts— including

government development ministers, academic economists, labor union leaders, bankers, corporation executives and others—will listen to information from other experts on how to deal with these pressing problem. Already, the General Motors Corporation and the International Business Machines Corporation have indicated that they would voluntarily appear before the U.N. investigative body; but the overriding question that remains is whether the U.N., still too largely based on maintaining the status quo, can force multinational corporations to be accountable to anybody but themselves.

Gerald ByNathaaidlftX DETROIT, Mich.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;In the early summer of 1963, a new social critic emerged on the scene of the Black world. With a real deep humor meshed with the biting tinge of reality, the wit of Gerald 2X burst on the scene causing real "belly laughter," and the Muhammad Speaks newspaper took on a new flavor with humor deeply rooted in the Teaching of Messenger Elijah Muhammad. SINCE THAT time, mm new M.S. reader is ever likely to forget the true life untonm; of Gerald ZX. Another important and unique feature of a Gerald 2X cartoon is the real funny material that he draws from, and even the greatest "friend" of issues be criticizes cannot bat laugh at the belly-busting wit of tins young Black cartoonist. THIS HUMOR is not only funny, but in a very deft manner it rips the cover off the oppressors of the Black man. As one veteran cartoonist told this reporter: "While the work of Gerald ZX cannot actually be classed as editorial cartooning, it goes much

deeper than that; he is definitely a social commentator and one of the greatest of his era. "With canning accuracy, he deftly exposes the hypocrisy of white society with one stroke of the pen, and I would even say that white people who stumble across the work of Gerald 2X. find it impossible to muffle their laughter at the wit of this highly successful artist." E V E N B E F O R E he became a follower of Messenger Muhammad. Brother Gerald states that he always had a good sense of humor and a keen eye for the ridiculous. Recalling that eventful day when he showed three of his cartoons to the then Minister of Temple No. 1 Detroit, Brother Gerald had no idea that he was embarking on a career that would make him one of the most successful cartoonists in the world. Now, 12 years later, at the peak of a very important career. Brother Gerald sat in the living room of his five bedroom custom bungalow and s p o k e o f his e a r l y days as a cartoonist.

Part IV of Messenger Muhammad's An Part IV B E C A U S E of the great and powerful work of this Great W H E E L , it lifts up wheels (people). This lifting of wheels could be referred to as small nations of the Black Man — nations who have been crushed by the wheel of enslavement, by the white slave masters. EZEKIEL, Chap. 1:21...The unity of T H E W H E E L , "When those went, these went; and when those stood and when those were lifted up from the earth,..." Which means people to be lifted up to higher places of position in the human families of the earth. EZEKIEL, Chap. 1:24...The great noise that E Z E K I E L said he heard, "And then they (the wheels) went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the v o i c e of the Almighty, the voice of speech,..." This gives us the knowledge that this is the work of the Almighty, in the Last Days—the Work of Lifting Up the people who were under the foot of

EZEKIEL, Chap. 1:25..."And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood..." Here, E Z E K I E L did not tell us what the Voice said. He did not give us the answer. He only said that it was A Voice from the firmament.

In t h e N a m e of Allah, Master Fard M u h a m m a d , to W h o m Praises a r e due forever; for giving us His Divine Messenger, and His Divine Message: In t h e past, many of us have studied the pages of history and compared t h e socalled g r e a t men and their g r e a t work for people. W e have studied in t h e devil's school, t h e rise and f a l l of races. In our textbooks they refer to it as t h e rise and f a l l of nations, but Messenger M u h a m m a d brings us t h e reality of things and t h e real t r u t h t h a t w e , t h e Black people, a r e t h e Original Nation of t h e planet e a r t h , and t h a t a l l other peoples— f r o m b r o w n to yellow, to rsd and to w h i t e — o r e r a c e s o f people.

Chapter 6 SECTION 11: Truth of Divine Revelation 92 And they honour not Allah with the honour due to Him, when they say: Allah has not revealed anything to a mortal. Say: Who revealed the Book which Moses brought, a light and a guidance to menâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you make it into (scattered) papers, which you show and you conceal much? And you are taught that which neither you nor your fathers knew. Say: Allah. Then leave them sporting in their idle talk. 93 And this is a Blessed Book We have revealed, verifying that which is before it, and that thou mayest warn the mother of the towns and those around her. And those who believe in the Hereafter believe in it, and they keep a watch over their prayers. 94 And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah, or says, Revelation has been granted to me; while nothing has been revealed to him; and he who says: I can reveal the like of that which Allah has revealed? And if thou couldst see when the wrongdoers are in the agonies of death and the angels stretch forth their hands, (saying): Yield up your souls. This day you are awarded a chastisement of disgrace because you spoke against Allah other than truth, and (because) you scorned His messages. 95 And certainly you have come to Us one by one as We created you at first, and you have left behind your backs what We

gave you. And We see not with you your intercessors about whom you asserted that they were (Allah's) associates in respect to you. Certainly the ties between you are now cut off and that which you asserted has failed you. SECTION 13: Gradual Progress 102 Wonderful Originator of the heavens and earth! How could He have a son when He has no consort? And He created everything, and He is the Knower of all things. 103 That is Allah, your Lord. There is no god but He; the Creator of all things; therefore serve Him, and He has charge of all things. 104 Vision comprehends Him not, and He comprehends (all) vision; and He is the Subtile, the Aware. 105 Clear proofs have indeed come to you from your Lord; so whoever sees, it is for his own good; and whoever is blind, it is to his own harm. And I am not a keeper over you. 106 And thus do We repeat the messages, and that they may say, Thou hast studied; and that We may make it clear to a people who know. 107 Follow that which is revealed to thee from thy Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;there is no god but He; and turn away from the polytheists.

108 And if Allah had pleased, they would not have set up others (with Him). And We have not appointed thee a keeper over them, and thou art not placed in charge of them. 109 And abuse not those whom they call upon besides Allah, lest, exceeding the limits, they abuse Allah through ignorance. Thus to every people have We made their deeds fair-seeming; then to their Lord is their return so He will inform them of what they did. 110 And they swear their strongest oaths by Allah that if a sign come to them they would certainly believe in it. Say: Signs are with Allah. And what should make you know that when they come they believe not? 111 And We turn their hearts and their sights, even as they did not believe in it the first time; and We leave them in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.

"I saw people who were inspired, who were friendly, who were w a r m , who expressed love and understanding and who had accomplishments beyond my wildest dreams.

"Well, I think that it was very impressive, very much impressive— and it's great to see Blacks who are on the move such as the Muslims are — building their own shopping centers, stores, attempting to build hospitals, housing, their own restaurants and what have you. "I think it's just great, and I think that there should be more of it and if Muslims or the Muslim religion is the key to Blacks being independent and have their own and control their own communities and destinies, then I think all Black people should be Muslims.—Roger Phillips, Al Johnson Associates, Public Relations.

"Well, I think it should have been done, maybe, a long time ago. I believe that if you expose people to different things that they maybe hear certain negative things about, if you expose them to it then that eliminates the fear that they have and that makes them more apt to participate after the fear is gone. "That's why I think it was a great thing, you know I really think it's great because I've only been exposed to it recently, and there are many other people that haven't been exposed to it at all. "And this way, word of mouth can go around from here to there, you know, and hopefully some of those other people can come in like this. I would like to see a series of these exposures take place. — Al Johnson, Al Johnson Public Relations.

"I am more than impressed, i have always had a knowledge of some of the workings of the Message of Muhammad over the years, but today after having a full tour and being guided through the exploits and the achievements of what has been made, I'm even more impressed. "I certainly appreciated it having been done; it was the greatest thing for my son to be exposed to this — and my daughter, because it's not often in our lifetime that our youth are able to be able to go into business establishments whereas that we can proudly say that from the beginning to the end is all done by Blacks. — Millard Frazier, Black Beauty Boutiques

M x o n searching for markets i n C h i n a By Donald Mosby C H I C A G O - After m o r e than a decade of intrigue, A m e r i c a n involvement i n Indo - China has allegedly ended.

This is the question asked most frequently by both the whites and the blacks. The answers to this question I shall state as simply as possible. 1. We want freedom. We want a full and complete freedom. 2. We want justice. Equal justice under the law. We want justice applied equally to all. regardless of creed or class or color. 3. We want equality of opportunity. We want equal membership in society with the best in civilized society. 4. We want our people in America whose parents cr grandparents were descendants from slaves, to be allowed to establish a separate state or territory of their own—either on this continent or elsewhere. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to provide such land and that the area must be fertile and minerally rich. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separate territory for the next 20 to 25 years—until we are able to produce and supply our own needs. Since we cannot get along with them In peace and eguality. after giving them 400 years of our sweat and blood

justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own, 5. We want freedom for all Believers of Islam now held In federal prisons We want freedom for all black men and women now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the North as well as the South. We want every black man and woman to have the freedom to accept or reject being separated from the slave master's children and establish a land of their own We know that the above plan fnr the solution of the black and white conflict is the best and only answer to the problem between two people. 6. We want an immediate end to the police brutality and mob attacks against the so called Negro throughout the United States We believe that the Federal government should intercede to see that black men and women tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with the laws of the land—or allow us to build a new nation for ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom and liberty. 7. As long as we are not allowed to establish a state or

W h a t 1. WE BELIEVE in the One God Whose proper Name is Allah. 2. WE BELIEVE in the Holy Qur-an and in the Scriptures of all the Prophets of God. 3. WE BELIEVE in the truth of the Bible, but we believe that it has been tampered with and must be reinterpreted so that mankind will not be snared by the falsehoods that have beer added to it. 4. WF BELIEVE in Allah's Prophets and the Scriptures . they brought to the people. 5. WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of the dead—not in physical resurrection—but in mental resurrection. We believe that the so -called Negroes are most in need of mental resurrection: therefore, they will be resurrected first Furthermore, we believe we are the people of God's choice, as it has been written, that God would choose the rejected and the despised. We can find no other persons fitting this description in these last days more than the so called Negroes in America. We believe in the resurrection of the righteous. 6. WE BELIEVE in the judgment; we believe this first judgment will take place as God revealed, in America . . . 7. WE BELIEVE this is the time in history for the

We do not believe that after 400 years of free or nearly free labor, sweat and blood, which has helped America become rich and powerful, that so many thousands of black people should have to subsist on relief, charity or live in poor houses 8. We want the government of the United States to exempt out people from ALL taxation as long as we are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the land. 9. We want equal education—but separate schools up to 16 for boys and 18 for girls on the condition that the girls be sent to women's colleges and universities We warn al! black children educated, taught and trained by then owi Kachers Under such schooling system we believe we will make a better nation of people. The United States government should provide, free al. nocessary text books and eguipmen schools and college buildings. The Muslim teachers sbai hi' left free to teach and train their people in the way el righteousness, decencv and self respect 1U.

WE BELIEVE in justice for all, whether in God or not; we believe as others, that we are due equal justice as human beings. We believe in equality—as a nation—of equals. We do not Believe that we ate equal with our slave masters in the status of "freed slaves". We recognize and respect American citizens as independent peoples and we respect their laws which govern this nation.

We do not believe this nation should force us to take part in such wars, for we have nothing to gain from it unless America agrees to give us the necessary territory wherein we may have something to fight for. 11.
