EMANCIPATION DAY IN CANADA

On August /, the colored people of Canada will OBJ
the centennial anniversary of the signing the
Canadian Emancipation Proclamation by Queen Victoria
in 1885 The celebration promises to be the most eabor
ate and spectacular of its kind held in the Domin
ion
In connection with the spirit of cooperation which
white Canadians manifest in the approaching observ-
ance, we cite the following letter from John c. Gall,
published in issue of the Windsor Star. Mr.,
Gall writes:
Editor, The Windsor Daily Star, SIR Colored citizens
of Windsor and Essex County making elaborate pre-
parations for the fitting celebration of Emancipation
Day, in commemoration of the date upon which Queen
Victoria signed the proclamation decreeng the abolition
of slavery in her domains
This is than British holiday it is an Internal
ona ete day but of recent it has lost its true sig
nificance The efforts of our felowownsmen to revive
the spirit of the occasion is most praiseworhy But all
the planning and work should not be left entirely
them. Their feow-ctzens, of whatever color
should get behind them and cooperate to make the event
one to be remembered"
Surely this is fine spirit shown by Mr. Gall, and it
types the broad tolerance and spirit of justice inherent
in the average Canadian that spirit which caused
Canada open its arms to fugitive slaves from the
Civil War.
Continuing his letter, Mr.. Gall further states:

full force and they should carry back with them splen-

ALL EYES ON ETHIOPIA

Each day brings new and more complicated develop
ments in the ItaloEthopian controversy 1t is becoming
and apparent that in event of armed conflict
between these two countries there is strong probability
that other nations will eventually become involved
Already diplomatic relations between Italy and Jap
daily growing tenser and leading newspapers in
both countries highly infamed the situstion
Italy accuses Japan of being in sympathy with Etho-
pa, because of alleged large trad concessions which
Japan holds in the African empire Japan does not deny
the existence of such concessions, neither does she
pledge to remain neutral in Italy and Ethiopia go
to war,
concentrating her fighting ships in the Mediterranean
IN the vicinity OF the Suez Canal through which the a
ian ships must pass in order to reach Ethiopia
The United States has also recently sent special dip

dent Roosevelt likewise cabed his congratulations to En-
Halle Seasse on the occasion of the celebration of
the Emperor's forty-fourth birthday
An historic fighting speech was delivered by Emperor
Halle Seassie few days ago. in which he defied Itav

ter to die in freedom than live in slavery.
An editorial in the July oath issue of the Detroit Free
Press is indicative of the swing of public sentiment and
sympathy toward the people of Ethiopia is entitled
Barbarians May Be Preferable and reads as follows:
"PERHAPS it is true that the Ethiopians are barbar-

not necessarily inferior to the who is Civilized"
In the latter days of the highly cultured Roman Empire
thousands of its inhabitants fled beyound borders

Although yet none of the leading world powers in
cludng the League of Nations has had the courage t.
speak out boldly in defense of Ethiopia it is quite pos

the next several weeks may force of the neutra
nations to champion the cause of Ethiopias ndepend

NEGRO FLEsHPOIs

FLESHPOTS! What a word In
the history OF Egypt: The Israe-
lites confused complaining and
longing; wandered around In the
wilderness: No goal and the same
tasteless diet for every meal; they
became discouraged: They failed
to see or understand that this was
a price they were to pay for pro-
gress
No patience; no vision; no spirit
OF sacrifice-all they could see was
fleshpots in Egypt: They cried out
give us our fleshpots of old; our
fleshpots of ease; give them to las
at any cost OF self-honor and self
respect: In disgusting tones they
cried out; II may have ito return
to the wretched slave yards and
remain a miserable slave but pass
the fleshpot:"
We were driven by task-masters
We were whipped and cursed: We
had to make brick without straw;
but: oh; what fleshpots! What a
plenty Of bread and how we did
eat!
Now we are long way from
home: wonderin around; hard
ships everywhere:
Would to God we had ded in
Egypt; when we sat tthe fiesn-
pots and when we id eat ito the

Wha is the great issue OF life?
To die with full stomachs ana
walk the easy way; or to venture
out more bravely even without
bread along some dangerous way
not crying for ease but ANXIOUS to
march toward higher daring goal?
There are some things worse
than starvation and lean days:
Some things worse than hard
ships: There are some things bet
ter than luxury and fortune: Hard
times are good times for making
strength and character: The fu-
ture history of Negroes in this
country has always been directly
dependent upon their willingness
to sacrifice and suffer for the ad-
vancement OF those who were to
follow:
Too closely the Negro has clung

gress: The race could have been
