I'm no good in the morning

This Oh wives superstition

Mind you, I wouldn't wish to

roles Mae West plays-any
more than she'd wish to pattern
hers. But I'm telling you that
there's something besides risque
Jokes in those roles-something
which has won my admiration,
and the frank enthusiasm Of
every man I know. something
honest and healthy, generous
and loyal that's good for what
ais all of us, particularly fe'
males.
If women don't like Mae West
it isn't because she's naked or
naughty. It's because she's a
challenge to women. The mod.
ern American woman talks a
great deal about equality-but
is apt to yell like a Comanche
if someone demands that she
live it. The Belle of the Nine

take it, as we'll as dish it out.

she loses, or turn cry-baby or

right way-as able to take life
on the chin as any man. She
uses her sex, but she doesn't
take advantage of it.
Mae West has dared to de-
pict women as nature intended
them to be, not merely in the
flesh but in the spirit. Women
were never meant to be hoity-
toity clinging vines. They were
meant to be good sports-play-
ing a brave and open game.
The younger generation Of
American women have been
bred by that ideal. and you'll
find most of them as keen as

chamber-to his death bed.
Nine days later, the emanclpa-
ton act was passed. THE good
Wilberforce" was buried IN
Westminster Abbey.
Long before Wherefore, there
had been brave and stubborn
opposition to slavery IN Eng
land. Around the middle OF
the eighteenth century, there
were about $4,000 slaves in
England, mostly body servants
of the nobility. An obscure and
eccentric government official,
one Granville Sharp, carried
on for decades a curious guer-
rilla warfare against slave hold
ing. He was deeply religious
and he COMPOUNDED the opposi-
ton with Biblical authority
weighty in those days. Through
the years, his most formidable
antagonist was the powerful
Lord Mansfield. The eccentric
David felled his Goliath in 1772,
virtually ending slave owner.
ship among respectable English
men.
In early AbysSinia and Baby
lonia, the first definitely trace
able forms of slavery were in
dustries-textiles, pottery and
metal ware. But, in spite OF
it's persistence down to this
day, there seems to have been
something in slavery repugnant
to innate human decency.
KINDS OF SLAVERY
Even those harsh and barbaric
masters of that early day didn't
seem to want to face the facts.
They passed the buck to the
gods. It was they who had or
dained servitude for the captives,
and the slave owners were
merely their agents. individuals
were identified as the property
of this or that god. There was
a pious invocation of the divine
ordination of caste, clear down
to body slavery.
Agricultural slavery came after
what might, in modern phrase
ology, be termed capital goods"
slavery-that is, the building of
great public works and fort
resses. In this gang" slavery,
as previously mentioned, the in
stitution showed it's most savage
and inhuman aspects. The first
struggling advances toward hu.
man dignity were in agricultural
slavery, in the field of "conSum-
ers" goods, so to speak. It was
in this era that the Babylonians
began to allow their slaves to
save money and buy their free
dom.
Curiously enough, the most
savage reaction of today in
Russia, Italy and Germany, has
been in seeking capital goods
heavy duty machinery and the
concessions to the needs Of the
human spirit have been in the
domain Of consumers goods.

Historians trace the begin
nings of human slavery back
about 10000 years, in Baby
lonia and Abyssinia, although
they know it began long before
that day. Today, the Assembly
of the League of Nations at
Geneva seeks data and world
cooperation to free the 6,000,'
900 human beings being bought
and sold like draft animals in
various parts of the world.
For IL years, the League has
been making its annual report
and appeal to the nations.
Nothing has happened. Men
are still enslaved. Concurrent.
ly, Herbert Hoover publishes
his earnest invocation of lib
erty and the spirit of liberty.
From the days of Hammurabi
and the Pharaohs, with their
gang slavery in building canals
and pyramids, man never has
been quite clear of the shadow
of bondage-of his own max
ing, of course.
Politicians have made of the

rem cliche, but the word is still
the logos of all democratic as
piration and it must become
flesh if civilization is saved-or
is achieved, one might say,
thinking of the lash over the
backs of human beings in this
day and age. Therefore, I main
tain that even if one challenges
the immediate political implica-
tions of Herbert Hoover's book,
he should fervently indorse his
sincere libertarian appeal.
SIX MILLION
If people really believe in a
word, they give it a sharper
edge than any sword. Perhaps
Europe didn't really believe in
liberty, and perhaps we do. It
will be disclosed. My authority
for the statement that there are
approximately six million slaves
in the world is that high-minded
and sensitive prelate Cardinal
FumaSoni Biondi, whom I hap
pened to meet in Rome a few
years ago.
For years he has diligently ex-
plored the problem of slavery
and he's led the great Catholic
hierarchy in a world attack
against it. He finds most of the
slaves in isolated regions Of
Ethiopia, Liberia, China and a
number of Moslem countries.
About two thousand slaves are
taken every year across the Red
Sea from Africa and sold to
MoslemS in Arabia.
Other estimates of the num-
Der of slaves have been larger
and some lower. League of Ma
lions research indicates that the
cardinals estimate is approx
mately correct, although the
character of the traffic, in re-
mote deserts and jungleS and
the islands and bayouS of the
Far East, makes accurate totals
hard to get. The vatican sane.

Cleaning the Potomac
Cooperation Needed

District officials are taking realistic view of the prob
lem of pollution of the Potomac River when they propose
m earv conference with officials Of Maryland and Vlr
ginia on the matter
The District alone cannot do the complete job which
must be done if the pollution which has dsgraced the
National Capital is to be eliminated
IN ORDER THAT THE RIVER MAY BE COM
pLETELY RECLAIMED FROM ITS PRESENT DIS
GUSHING CONDITION IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE
COOPERATION OF MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA BE
SOUGHT AND OBTAINED.
This is exactly what Engineer Commissioner Dan l.
Sultan purposes do and it is the fervent hope of all
who are interested in the problem that he will be
cessfuL
On previous occasions efforts enlist the assistance
of Maryland and Virginia in the program of purifying
the Potomac have been made but have not met with
great deal of practical success
The reason for this has probably been that while the
District was beseecng the neghborng States to take
action on the problem the District itself was doing vr
tually nothing
Now however conditions are somewhat different. The
District is about to embark upon tremendous program
in connection with the river Definite action has been
taken looking to construction of eightmilon dollar
sewage disposal plant
Likewise it is expected that at the coming session of
Congress appropriations Will be made available Tor other
the rivers condition which have already
received engineering and public approval
WITH THESE PROJECTS UNDER WAY AND CON-
TEMPLATED THE DISTRICT CAN GO INTO CON-
FERENCE WITH OFFICIALS OF MARYLAND AND
VIRGINIA WITHOUT BEING SUBJECT TO THE
CHARGE THAT IT IS SEEKING TO HAVE THOSE
STATES CARRY BURDEN WHICH PROPERLY BE-
LONGS UPON THE SHOULDERS OF THE DISTRICT
It must be evident those States that the District
is ready to do everything in its power to improve the
condition of the river.
That improvement in far as it be brought about
by the District will convey important benefits to the
neighborng States both of which have large stake in
the Potomac
River conditions however cannot be made perfect un-
less both of these States do their share The District has
shown that it is working the problem in good faith and
at tremendous COST
WE HOPE THAT THE NEIGHB0RING STATES
WILL TAKE THE PROPER VIEW OF THE sITUA
TON AND THAT BOTH MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA
WILL COOPERATE IN THE GENERAL SCHEME
WHICH CANNOT BE SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT
THEIR SUPPORT.

 Because of the unusual circum- stances of his coup d'etat where by he merged the chancellory wit the presidency, Hitler is believed to be intending to seize the o. casion to justify his assumption of the powers of a monarch.
