REPORTS NATIVES
ARE ROBBED and
ABUSED IN AFRICA.
Professor Makes Public What
He Found in Portuguese
Africa

Madison, Wis, July 4.-Conditions
worse than slavery where native blacks
are farmed out by the government on
a wholesale scale, receiving no pay and
forced to hard labor in Portuguese,
Africa, is the report to the league of
nations on native labor in Portuguese,
Africa, by Prof. A. E. Ross, noted
Sociologist of the University of Wis
consin.
Prof. Ross, following submission of
evidence gathered in Angola and Port
uguese, East Africa presents 10 con-
clusions. Briefly they are:
l. The labor system, virtually state
serfdom, which has grown up often
claims so much of the natives time and
strength they are no longer able to give
adequate attention to the production of
food in their own gardens and fields.
Onicials Get Money.
2. Wages of the blacks are turned
to officials by employers of natives, and
there is evidence that little of it reaches
the hands of the natives. 1t appears
that the typical thing is for the earn
ings of those ,commandeered laborers to
be embezzled.
3. The amount of unpaid labor ex-
acted of skilled natives is not infre-
quently so excessive that the young
men see nothing to be gained by their
acquiring skill in the missionary schools.
4. Motor roads have been extended
far beyond need of the colony. Their
construction imposes a crushing burden
an conscripted, unpaid, unrationed ma
tives, for the most part women.
5. There appears to be widespread
labor stealing; j. e., the planter arbi-
trarily refuses to give credit or pay for
certain days or half days of labor. No
report of effort to curb practice.
6 The officials in weak position
with respect to fellow nationals, the
leaders and planters, and rarely venture
to guard the rights of the native as
against the claim of white man.
2. The native policemen, utilized
among the stranger or enemy tribes,
grossly abuse their authority for pur-
poses of lust, spite or extortion.
No Schools or Justice.
8. The government provides prac-
tically nothing in the way of schools,
medical care, emergency relief or JUS
tice against the white trader for the
people of the villages as recompense for
the heavy burden of unrequited toll it
lays upon them.
9. The treatment of natives in Port
uguese territory compares SO unfavor-
ably with that experienced by the ma
tives of Rhodesia or Belgian Congo
that there is a strong tendency to emf
CRATE across the frontier.
10. In Portuguese Africa the amount
and manner of collection of hut taxes
impose severe handicaps upon the ma
tives.

NCHOTR OF 50 VOICES IN AIR TONIGHT;
ROnping Around
Radio Dial
By Listener-In

Washington needed one run 20
tie the score. 1t was the flrst
half of the ninth inning, the Ma
tionals'. last chance.
"a man on first and third, two
down and Bluege at the bat" the
announcer said. Oh, boy, how We
needed q hit. A single would tie
the score, a double would win the
game.
But it was not in the books fer
yesterday and Bluege rolled a SLOW
one to the infield that was an
easy out. It was a tough game
for Washington and George MO-
gridge to lose.
But it was an interesting game,
and between Louis .Dougher al
Comiskey Park in Chicago and the
announcer in The Washington
Times studio was we'll told over the
radio.
Throughout the game we felt that
it was Washington's day. Only
one run behind is usually easy for
the Haryismen and we fully ex-
pected to see them make it up.
Put something went wrong.

Scientists read with consider

The feminine sun, Asklof said,
