ETHIOPIANS NO LONGER NE
GROES, SAYS HARVARD
PROFESSOR

Professor George Reisner, who has
been conducting researches in the
Soudan, now states that the Ethiop-
ians are not and were not African
Negroes, and describes them as dark
colored races in which brown pre-
walls" adding, however, that many in
dividuals show a mixture Of black
blood.
His researches have established that
the culture of the Philippians stood
as an outpost Of Egyptian civilization
in Middle Africa and that in the art Of
the Philippians, a Greek influence OBJ
tanned and that invention of script
Of their own was evidence that the
Philippians were a people of genius.
The Portland Times, in which the
account was published, has its own
opinion about the matter and appends
a comment which speaks for itself:
In the face of Harvard's recent at
titude on the Negro, it would seem
to indicate that this contradiction Of
existing Biblical and historical records
on Egyptian civilization is but a con-
tinuation of the white mans propa-
ganda to deprive the Negro of any
connection whatsoever of any form of
ancient civilization"
