THE process Of smoking out Calvin
Coolidge on a third term is pro-
crossing apace. Coolidge is saying
nothing. Whether he is thinking or
not is problematical. Why should he
think? Thinking is dangerous busi-
ness. He might think himself out Of
a job. If the president Of a gigantic
plunderbund like this had any inn
agination he would sneak out Of the
White House at dead Of night and
wend his way to the nearest slave
market. Many persons would rather
repair railway tracks than hold down
his job.

enjoy what O'Henry would char

times it was not even that, but it

SLAVE LABOR is

Yankee Exploiters

American capitalism now has its
eyes turned towards Ethiopia, for
merly known as Abyssinia. An un-
limited amount of rubber, coffee,
potash and other resources with plen-
ty of slave labor makes Ethiopia un-
usually attractive to this country.
The correspondent of the Chicago
Daily News has described the situa-
ton in detail. Under the pretense of
freeing" the slaves of that country,
foreign capital has been invited to
purchase the slaves from their own
ers.

All Facilities.


The American correspondent re-
ports that
seriously intentioned and re-
sponsible parties will be granted
all the facilities and fayors neces-

Abyssinian government is ready
and eager to favor foreign capi-
tai which can develop the coun-
try and aid in the actual liberia
ton of slavery by employing the
slaves as workmen in their de-
velopment projects"
The manner in which the slaves are
to be liberated" is described in the
official announcement as follows:
"Foreign capital will be invited
to lease tracts of land for the cul-
tivation of coffee, rubber, fruit
and other products and for the
raising of cattle, sheep and
horses. Such enterprises will be
furnished slave labor and will be
obligated to remit one-half of the
laborer's wage to his owner, the
other half to be held by the gov
ernment until such time as his
accumulated earnings will suffice
to purchase his freedom, which,
according to estimates so far OBJ
tainable, will be approximately
five years"
