A MISSION WITH NO PROBLEMS
(Bv BRUCE CATION

1t is rather refreshing in these troublous
times to find Ras Desta Demtu, prince OF
the royal house of Abyssinia, son-in-law OF
Emperor Halle Selassie-the Conquerlng
Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Elect of God
and the Light of the World-confessing to-
an ambition to establish an amusement
park in his far-off homeland.
The prince came to America as the Off
cial envoy of his much-titled sovereign,
and he did not take lightly his official du-
ties. He called on President Roosevelt and
dined in state at the White House. He met
all sorts of notables, and saw everything
big and grand that America has to offer,
including cathedrals, skyscrapers and fac
tories. But he was mostly interested in the
Palisades amusement park in New York.
There the prince had good time, de-
spite his dignity and his gorgeous raimenr
and his retinue He enjoyed the fun de-
vices, particularly the shooting gallery, the
freaks in the side show, and the roller
coaster.
1t is true that Abyssinia isn't any great
shakes as nation, but what it lacks IN
world Importance it makes up in dignity
and pomp and ceremony. incidentally it IS
the only sizeable part of Africa that has
been able to keep out of the clutches of the
western world, so apparently the arts of
statecraft are not unknown.
But the prince didn't make any high
flown speeches about undermining his
somewhat primitive country, for apparent
~ he and his ruler kinsman have no desire
to ape the way of the western world. And
he didn't have lot of problems to get off
his chest to add to the bewildering array
that have been dumped on these shores by
ENJOYS of other nations.
No, the prince saw all the grandeur of
New York-and reached the conclusion
that good amusement park to provide
diversion for his fellow-countrymen would
be a most desirable thing Many will be-
leve that the mission of this descendant
of King Solomon was vertically success,
as few missions are.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
LETTING DOWN THE BARS

This country of ours is passing through one OF
the most hectic periods in its history Jealous ef-
forts are being made in all directions to bring about
4 reimbursement of conditions. Everybody admits
the necessity of such efforts.
Practically all of our troubles can be traced to
one thing-a change in attitude with respect
~ some of the fundamentals of our civilization.
It used to be that when man committed muir
der. he knew exactly what to expect. If he were
caught, he would be executed without any delay.
NOWADAYS not one murderer out of hundred
ever pays the penalty for his crime
1t used to be that preachers preached stern
and strict religion and confined their preachments
to strictly orthodox lines, but for the past decade
or so there has been marked change along these
lines We haven't heard sure-enough he-hre-
and-brimstone sermon in many day.
1t used to be that when man made an obliga-
ton, he paid it. When he went to the bank and
borrowed money he could get it without collateral
or security other than his word to promise and
pay 1t was disgrace to be in debt and not be
able to make payments to ones creditors 1t hasn't
been so terribly long ago that men were placed IN
jail for mourning obligations which they were un-
able to meet. Nowadays, nobody seems to pay
much attention to such things, and everybody owes
money. Consequently, NOBODY can borrow any
and the banks get the blame!
1t used to be that all law-abiding citizens re-
spected the laws of their land and tried to obey
them Today, when one sees fragrant violations Of
prohibition laws, it is apparent that this former
opinion is not in existence any longer, so far as
many of our people are concerned
1t used to be that when a got drunk, he
considered himself disgraced; and when woman
got drunk, she was officially and definitely ostra-
Icised Now it's considered joke; something tc
Ebe laughed about and RECALLED an interesting and
Eenjoyable topic of conversation.
We've let down the bars to such an extent that
most of US are just naturally running wild. And
when you come to think about it, is it any wonder
that we're in our present-day fix! Is it any Won
kder that national leaders Of industry, of religion
and of social welfare are holding conferences and
are appointing commissions in desperate effort to
find out what's wrong!
/ One of the first things necessary to be done is
/ to put back some of those bars which we've been
Letting down for the past 10 Is years. Those
T of us who have lived in the country know what
happens when we got out to the pasture and toss
aside the bars. The livestock Immediately proceeds
to pass through the opening and roam at large
( That's what we've been doing-roaming at large
And that's what we're going to continue doing, un-
less something is done to change attitude with
Prospect to the fundamentals mentioned above
