DENMARK IS READY
TO GUARD FRONTIER
Premier Warns That Increase
! in SIesvig Border Force
/ Is Significant.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, October
18.-Prime Minister Stauning's declara-
ton before the Folketing yesterday that
the southern Danish frontier would be
defended to the limit was featured in
the whole Danish press today.
In connection with reports that mill
tary units along the southern frontier
in Slesyig had been reinforced, the pre-
mier told the Folketing Qower legisla-
tive branch):
"The frontier will be defended by all
the means at our diSposal!"
Coupled, with comment on the speech,
In line with Stauning's assertion that
the Slesvig frontier is the frontier of the
whole of Scandinavia, the Danish press
quoted with evident approval hot edi-
torial reply from the Swedish Svenska
Dagbladet to recent hints that Sweden
was not behind the so-cslled Scandi-
navian frontier.
Dagbladet said:
Sweden fully shares. without devia
tion from other Scandinavian opinion,

frontier between Denmark and Ger:
many"
Warns Reds Leader.
Stauning in his speech was particu-
larly emphatic in addressing the leader
of the Danish Communists.
II don't wonder that you prefer the
open frontier and don't care for your
fatherland," said the premier.
However, let me advise you that 1t IS
better to live in Danish workingman's S
home than in foreign concentration
camp!"
Another point, Stauning said, 'is that
the frontier defense is not to consist of
tin soldiers I am against all war and
militariSm but I always have held the
opinion that the frontier must be de-
Tended"
Slesvig, the southern part of Jutland
Denmark, comprises approximately the
northern section of what was the Ger
man province of SchlesWig- -Holstein
This territory went to Denmark in a
plebiscite held in 1920 under the provi-
sions of the treaty Of Versailles.
Danish Press Perturbed.
Danish newspapers for several months
have been perturbed over the reputed
German agitation in Danish Slesvig for
the return of that territory to Germany
Several of them said that German ennis
saries had gone to Slesvig to form Nazi
groups.
Both chambers of the Danish Parlia-
ment last April adopted bill prohibit
ing the wearing of political uniforms
and emblems and increasing the State
police forces by 100 men.
Premier Stauning of Denmark de-
plored the action last Saturday of Ger
many in announcing intention to with
draw from the arms conference and the
League of Nations. Other Danish quar-
ters were described as anxious due to
their previous nervousness over alleged
Nazi propaganda in Slesvig.

83 per csnt the quantity imported dur

Conceding that better quality Ar

opinion that the Government should

industry, discussing each with the an
nounced purpose OF correcting some
misconceptions.
Stocks-Mills did not deliberately ac-
cumulate large stocks in anticipation
of the code. In the middle of Septem-
ber. stocks amounted to approximately
the same quantity as year ago.
Wages.-"The average for seven oc-
cupational groups in 1882 that earned,
according to Government reports, more
than the minimum wage now prescribed
by the code, was 349 cents an hour; In
August 1893. the average for the same
group was 439 cents. Furthermore, the
August, 1888, rate for this group was
about 40 per cent In excess OF the cooe
minimum"
Complaints Held Few.
Child Labor.-"Any one who will take
the trouble to examine reports OF the
United States census will see that en-
ployment of minors in recent years has
been negligible and in 1880 amounted
only to 5 per cent of the total persons
employed in our industry. We had
every reason to believe that the employ
ment of minors under 16 had reached
practically the vanishing point since
1880. Nevertheless, the Cotton Textile
Industry Committee was glad to INCLUDE
this provision in the first code.
Code Complains.-"The number OF
complaints Of alleged violation of the
code have been greatly magnified In
certain quarters. When we compare the
actual number, 800, with the 465. 900
employees we get some idea as to the
smoothness with which the cotton tex
tile code is functioning."
Forty-hour Week.-"The 40-hour week
had the effect of reducing the working
week In cotton manufacturing on an
average of IS per cent. An employment
survey brought out that during the last
week of August the number Of persons
on mill pay rolls had increased to the
extent OF 100000 workers. or 40 per
cent. compared with the first week Of
March"

SWAP COWS AND COTTON FOR
EDUCATION IN DIXIE

Atlanta, Ga, (CNS) "From the
ground up" is the typical slogan of
many southern boys and girls who
perforce Of conditions are swapping
cows and cotton for college educ
alton. It is reported that the Negro
State Normal School at Elizabeth N.
G. accepts any kind Of produce for
tuition.
MANY Southern colleges have &C
cepted farm produce for students
expenses for years, and now it's quite
the thing to swap a shoat. some sweet
potatoes and maybe some spinach for
an education.
1T is not unusual at some schools
to see a farmer and his SON drive m
IN a truck or mule wagon loaded with
molasses, corn meal and cabbages.
Maybe there's a yearling aboard The
boy is fresh from the cotton burrows.
HIS hair has been trimmed by his
mother. His jeans are cut downs
from his fathers best suit. The IA
Their will have to wear o~veraIls. but
his boy will have a chance to "pit
some Farming" Some fathers are
like that.
The school will accept the produce
as tuition for the student. Next month
the father will fetch some fresh wa.
ter ground meal for the school, and
the mother viii send a pound Of her
best butter or a jar Of fig preserves
for the teacher who has been good to

law to facilitate the railroading to
prison Of the young Cincinnati Ne
gro, Angelo Herndon. charged with
'inciting to Instruction" again plac-
es the State of notorious chain gangs.
in an unenviable light before the civ

The old carpet bag law converted
into a weapon against Communism
provides that a person guilty Of at
tempting to incite instruction shall
be punished BY death or long i'm
prisonment.

don, here last week on charges of
'inciting to Instruction" as "the
type Of injustice which indicates we
live in a maze Of corruption where
ever the courts and public sentiment
must deal with black people," a group
of ministers representing several
colored churches have made public a
resolution deploring the long sent
ence Of from Is to 20 years given the
young man.
The resolution points out that "some
of the slayers of Dennis Hubert were
given shorter sentences for brutal
murder-to say nothing of the thous-
ands of lynchers who roam at will
throughout the nation" The resolu-
ton opens with. "We as ministers and
American citizens desire to trust our
courts for absolute justice"
Among the ministers signing the
resolution were: the Revs. A. F. Bail
