Abyssinia to Force

"War" Protest.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The French and British are making
serious efforts to muzzle Emperor
Halle Silassie of AbysSinia. who is
more determined than ever to air at
Geneva the Abyssinian- Italian con-
f1ict and especially what he calls 1.-The
Italian aggression" of last month.
The League of Nations wants to
hush up the whole affair; the Abys-
sinians don't want to because they
realize that any delay is detrimental
to their national security.
Emperor Is Alert.
Emperor Silassie is a keen student
of world politics who is able to read
between the lines of any political
agreement. He is seriously worried
about the Laval-Mussolini under
standing and wants to have the exist
ing conflict with Italy brought into
the limelight at Geneva before it is
too late.
The Italo-French political agree

King spoke under the auspices of

said. "All that can be done is to

Recalling that President Roosevelt
has proposed the S per cent cut be

pay restoration is delayed until that

tying up Abyssinia in a hundred knots.
The Italians have now an outlet to
the Red Sea which will improve their
lines of communications in case Of
trouble with the Ethiopian people.
Of course the Italians say that they
will not attempt to attack the Abys-
sinians-yet. And this is true. De-
spite the apparent pacification of
Europe, there still are many danger
points and Mussolini is not foolish
enough to get engaged in colonial
campaign which might require hun
dreds of thousands of men and a few
hundred million dollars. But Abys-
Sinia is in the zone of colonial devel-
opment of Italy and some day, it is
frankly said in Rome, either Silassie
comes to an agreement with MuSSo-
lini and accepts the Italian overlord-
ship or he will have to stand the
attack of the Italian forces.
Will Remain Free.
The Abyssinians are people who
have never been subjugated by any
foreign nation. And they mean to
remain free.
What Geneva is worried about now
is that Silassie might adopt the old
slogan that the best defensive is the
offensive and when he sees that the
League refuses to take any action in
the present controversy he may take
the bull by the horns and attack Italy
before Italy is ready to attack him.
This theory of the Geneva diplo-
mats is quite plausible. The Abys-
sinians are excellent fighters; they
have defeated the Italians once be-
fore. in the early nineties.
Furthermore, UIlile the Abys-
SinianS are a backward nation, the
ruler is a man tDeH conUerS1nt With
the antics OF the Old World diplo-
mats. He knoUS that under the
present conditions OF Europe Italy
can i'll afford to fight a major UQr
and SildSSie UiH not miss this
chance OF buying cheap an inSur-
dnce for the future. For this reason,
it is belieUed, he UiH driDe the
GeneDa gentlemen as hard as he
can in order to obtain SatiSf1c-
tory settlement tUhiie this is still
possible.
Italian diplomats see in this deter
mined move of the Ethiopians the
hand of Germany and Japan. Both
countries have been making a drive
lately to obtain the friendship of the
Ethiopian ruler and have obtained
strong economic foothold in his
country.

Today the city Of Washington is the

are educational opportunities so we'll
integrated for colored people, since It
is possible for colored pupils to attend
free schools from the kindergarten
through the teachers college without
suffering special disadvantages"
Beyond the Miner Teachers College,
which Is the apex of the public edu-

there Is Howard University, largely
supported by congressional appropria-
tionS. Howard is not only the leading
university of its kind in the world foc
colored students, but its faculty con-
tains the largest aggregation of Negro
scholars ever brought together in one
institution" Its College of Education
has been widely commended for the
service 1t has rendered its own people
in supplying qualified teachers for the
colored race" Both its schools of law
and medicine have high standing, the
