CHRISTMAS REFLECTIONS
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN D. D, ILL., D., d. c. L.
Bishop OF Washington.

Christmas is essentially identified
with the sweet and wholesome things
of home life. The whole story, as re-
corded In the second chapter OF st.
Luke's Gospel (Which, doubtless, Is the
most widely known story in the world)
finds its heart and center in the homely
scenes Of domestic life. Remote in time
and place as the incidents of this
story are, they have a conspicuous place
In every literature. in the inspiration
OF poetry, painting and music. and
even in our rather gray and modern
world they bring color and beauty TO
charm and stimulate us. Even when
the world has been hardened by suffer-
ing and pain; even when the nations
were engaged in a mighty struggle, this
idyllic story occupied the thoughts of
men,
1t is an interesting fact that, how
ever coarse and hardened men and
women may be by the stern circum-
stances Of life, there Is that In every
nature that Is responsive to the simple,
homely story that relates the scenes
and incidents in which the mother and
the child occupy the chief place. 1t may
be that life's normal yearnings for re-
newal, for return to the early days
before 1t was disillusioned and dis
tracted by mishap and misfortune, Is
the reason why Christmas. of all days
in the year, makes its unique appeal
When Charles Dickens would write his
immortal Christmas Carol" he must
needs find his characters in the disil-
lusioned and hardened Scrooge on the
one hand, and the simple scene in
which the crippled Tiny Tim was the
chief character on the other. He es-
tablishes a contrast between the two
extremes
What effect the brief narrative con-
tanned in the second chapter of ST.
Luke and in the second chapter Of ST.
Matthew has had upon the world, its
thought and Its pmosophy it would be
impossible to state, for certainly It's
softening influence has mellowed and
enriched human life, evoked a kindlier
spirit and moved men to noble and
generous impulses beyond any narra-
tive the world contains.
What a setting, what picturesque
Evening star., 1933-12-24

characters, what beauty of circumstance
this immortal story presents: Visiting
magi from foreign parts, shepherds in
the field by night keeping watch over
their flocks, chanting angel choir
with It's glorious message of peace and
good will, the lowly stable with whis-
perlng and bewildered peasants and
at the heart of it all a young mother
with her first-born child 1t Is little
wonder that Raphael put all his amaz-
ing genius into his world-famed pic
ture Of the Madonna.
In the heart Of the mother are ele-
ments that are essentially divine. There
Is deep significance in the passage: "All
things which were told them by the
shepherds, but Mary kept all these
things and pondered them In her heart. "
What were her reflections on that
eVentful night is not told; her thoughts
were too deep for words to express.
80 the world comes again to another
Chrlstmastide. 1t is a bewildered and
distracted world, but this scene In
Bethlehem OF the mother and child
calls 1t away from its doubts and
speculations, its anxious concern for
lts material values, its economic and
nscai programs, its cares and worries,
and bids 1t think deeply of these more
enduring and precious things that the
motper or Christ pondered and thought
upon, and that have to do with the
inner and more indispensable things of
life. The rich sentiment contained in
the Christmas story has to do with
the deeper, sweeter and more whole
some things OF. life. 1t speaks OF peace
and good will among men. 1t reminds
us that the things that concern mother
hood and childhood are the most vital
In life. 1t puts the emphasis upon
values that outweight ali our mate
rial treasures. 1t aWakens in US i'm
pulses and emotions that have to do
with life's choicest gifts and bless
mgs-yes, 1t reJuvenates and refreshes,
and lifts US above the sordid, the
mean and the unwholesome ways Of
living. Joy and peace, these are the
key words Of this immortal story
may they have a new meaning for
the world on this latest Christmas day.

Slavery Persists in Abyssinia
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

been found deeply concerned In the
slave traffic and his example has en-
couraged lesser officials. His wife, Slit
Ammna, was for long known as a slave
queen, not that she ever was q slave,
but drove thriving trade In slaves.
She established a slave depot through
which passed more than 500 slaves up
until the time she was captured by the
Anglo Egyptian authorities and lodged
IN jail, where she now is.
curious fact is that a good many
OF the slave raids are across the border
into the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, which
lies on the south and west of the Ethio-
plan Empire. Whether these trans-bor-
der raids are prompted by some lurking
prejudice on the part of Abyssintan
slave hunters against taking their own
people or by greater supply of poten-
tai captiveS has not been established.
Passports Into Slavery.
One of the most amazing angles of
the slave traffic and one which shows
how deeply seated the idea of slavery is
in the Abyssinian official mind has to do
with the smuggling across the Red Sea
Cabia affords an excellent market for
AbySsinian slaves and the slavers ply a
regular trade. The amazing fact which
shows to what extent official connivance
IN the slave traffic goes is that these
slaves are furnished with Abyssinia pass
ports-passports into slavery. The rea-
son for the issuance of these is doubt
less that the British maintain a naval
patrol in the Red Sea- II a slave ship
is stopped by patrol, passports are ex-
h1bited and the members of the cargo
are designated on those official papers
as pilgrims to Mecca. This is difhcult
to deal with. To make mistake and
interfere with an actual pilgrim to
Mecca might cause grave complications.
Caravans OF slaves also cross the
Desert Of Danakil and take ship from
the Gulf of Tajurs in French Scnali-
land. There are no patrols there and
the trade is open. The slaves axe
brought chiefly from the Mali and Sayo
regions where slave markets are held
regularly and a flourishing traffic is
Piled. When slaVerS are caught with
their slaves, both slavers and slaves are
put in jail AS the slavers have money
and the slaves do not, the former bribe
their way out and the others, supposedly
awaiting official escort home to free
dom, usually die from the unaccus-
toned confinement in unsanitary quar-
ters.
There is law now in effect that, on
the death Of his owner, a slave auto
mattcally becomes free. The law also
provides that children born Of slaves
shall be regarded as free even though
the parents remain slaves until the
death OF the owner. But the local au-
thorities are either apathetic or down
right hostile and little progress is being
made even in the working out Of this
Slow-moving system of emancipation.
Because there have been fewer saw
age wars in recent years and fewer
plaques, it is likely that there are more
slaves in the world today than there
were perhaps half a century ago. 1t
can be stated, however, that Abyssinia is
the only country in the world which
has as a part of its government estab-
ushment, department of slavery.

0ne-Way Traffic Downtown.

A plan for the establishment of one
way traffic on F and G streets between
7th and 18th is under consideration
at the District Building with view
Of relieving the congestion on those
two arteries of the business section.
particularly the lessening Of danger to
pedestrians at intersections. This prof.
ect, advocated by Traffic Director Van
Duser, is believed to be now possible
in consequence Of the merger of the
traction systems, which will permit re-
routings Of the car lines to conform
TO the one-way rule. Obviously the
single-direction plan for trafic on these
two streets must include the street
cars as well as motor vehicles. This
would not necessarily require the re-
construction Of the car lines on those
two streets, for the tracks now used
for eastbound trafic on q and for
westbound traflc on r could remain
unused save In emergencies such as the
blocking Of lines through accident. The
ideal condition would, Of course, be, in
case the one-way plan is adopted, to
remove these needless car tracks, which,
of course. would involve complete recon-
struction OF the two lines within the
area Of the change.
In this connection 1t Is stated that
the newly formed consolidated traction
company is planning the rerouting
Of some Of the lines and the abandon
ing Of others. One Of the arguments
for the merger Of the two systems was
that 1t would permit such a simplifica-
ton Of the lines without serious in
convenience TO the car-riding public
There still remain track lines estab-
lished long ago in the period Of inde-
pendent competitive companies, prior to
the amalgamation which formed the
Washington Railway g. Electric system.
As a result of the competition between
the Washington Railway and Capital
Traction companies all these feeder
and trunk lines were continued In use.
Now that merger has been effected
some of them are needless and actually
improbable and their abandonment is
indicated as measure Of economy as
well as of improved service and freer
use of the streets for trafic. The study
OF this situation that is now under
way will doubtless lead to results in
the near future. Meanwhile the one
way traffic plan for the two downtown
arteries Of the business section becomes
possible in advance Of any general re-
arrangement of tracks. If it should
meet the approval of the public and the
authorities.
Evening star., 1933-12-24

When the RaS Halle Selassie acceded
to the throne Of AbySsinia about two
years ago he gave the League Of Ma
tions assurance that he would do his
utmost TO abolish slavery. A term Of
twenty years In which 10 accomplish
complete emancipation was set and
America, which had fought a bitter
war in order TO effect the same pur-
pose, was greatly interested to see how
the plan would work out. American
societies, notably the Women's Inter-
national League for Peace and Free
dom, made representations to the De-
partment Of State in the matter In
one instance this organization was
largely instrumental in blocking q large
public works contract, sought by an
American engineering firm, on the
ground that slave labor was to be sur
reptitioilsly employed.
For many reasons, therefore. inter-
est in the United States in the slavery
situation In the Ethiopian Empire is
far from academic.
The TACT is, as communicated through
League of Nations channels, that the
apolitlon OF slavery Is proceeding very
slowly and in the face Of the most de-
termined opposition. The sincerity of
the Ras in mis- declared emancipation
policy Is not doubted, but that of many
Of his satraps is. In fact, it has been
discovered that the households of some
OF the high officials who were delegates
to the great conference which adopted
the emancipation policy, include slaves
and not slaves who have spent years
In those households, but newly acquired
ones.
Traf1c in slaves has been one of the
most profltable businesses In which
human beings have ever engaged.
Slaves bring good prices in the mar
kets which still are openly conducted
in the outlying provinces of Abyssinia
as they brought good prices on the
slave blocks of Havana, Of Charleston
and OF Richmond not so very long ago.
Nothing Is paid for a slave by the
SLAYER. He is taken in a raid. The
purchaser need ray him no wages and
but a good deal more, which goes to his
master The temptation to engage in
slave traffic, therefore, is large.
Slit Ammna, the Slave Queen.
The difficulties Of stamping out
slavery in Abyssinia could not be bet
ter illustrated than by the tracing of
newly taken slaves to the houses of the
slave conference delegates. Knowing
that they had such slaves, they yet as
serted their belief in the emancipation
policy and their ignorance Of the
whereabouts Of any newly taken slaves.
Abyssinia is wild country with but
few miles Of railroad and only the
most primitive facilities for communi-
cation. The outlying provinces are
governed by local satrapS who are, in
deed, responsible to the Ras, the abso-
lutte monarch, but who are not easily
disciplined. In the regions near Adds
Ababa, the capital, the Ras effected
wholesale liberation, and slavery has
been very largely obliterated there. But
one need go but a little distance into
the hinterland to encounter slavery.

influential Of the Abyssinian mobiles. has

Last Thoughts Before Christmas.

Tonight, II the tradition be true,
the heavens will be filled with angel
song and the merry sound Of the bells
on Santa's sleigh. Specifically, it
might seem a mixed metaphor of har-
mony, but there is no such contradic-
ton in the minds of little children.
They hear the cherubim and the
tinkling, too, and both are signals Of
Joy.
So be 1t, then-the old story and
the new. 1t is the premier night Of
the year, however considered. Resist
the temptation as sternly as one will,
the heart responds to the tremor Of
excitement in the atmosphere. 1t Is
as though vibrations of anticipated
happiness ran through the air and
were received by the mind as sound
waves are apprehended by the ear.
There is something electric, something
magical about it. And it has the sig
nificance OF reasSerting the essential
humanity of all earth's people.
Poets and prophets agree that 1t Is
in this all-pervading humane quality
that the attraction power of Christmas
lies. and they vision in its magnetic
force the life, the character and the
purpose Of the Son of God. No other
career so pasSionately reafirmS the
fellowship of man. Rationalize the
story as one may, clear away its in
consistencies, strip it to its elemental
armature, and the fact remains, beyond

A Memorial to Jefferson.

In case it is concluded not to erect
a building for the housing Of several
o. the Government units on the site
of the apex of the Mall-Avenue tri-
angle Immediately east of the Archives
Building, this space could be put to
no better or more appropriate use than
that suggested by Representative Boy
Ian Of New York. He proposes to in
troduce bill in Congress, upon which
he will urge early action, for the erec-
ton at that place of memorial to
Thomas jefferson. For several years
past he has been sponsoring at sue
to this effect, save as to site. Now
that the question Of the propriety Of
erecting a building in front of the
new Hall Of Archives has been raised,
he plans to name this site and urge
its ALLEGATION as the location for
the Nations tribute to the author of
the Declaration Of Independence and
the third President Of the United
States.
Should Congress decide to undertake
the erection Of this memorial as a ma
tional recognition Of the services of
Jefferson, and should the plan for the
emplacement Of the so-called Apex
Building be changed for a construction
elsewhere, the site will be most appro-
pirate and suitable. A monumental
tribute to Jefferson should have o COM
manding situation and an effective
setting. At the point Of the triangle
which Mr.. Boylan now urges for adop-
ton for this purpose 1t would face
the Capitol, symbol Of the constructive
work Of Jefferson In the organization
of the American Government. It would
have as Its background the noble edi-
fee now taking its final form, contain
ing the archives Of that Government,
the records Of its creation and devel-
opment.
The memorial structure could be 90
designed as not to detract in any sense
or degree from the Archives Building,
which is considered one Of the archi-
