British Imperialists
Support MussOlini

London, England, Nov. %,
-Discarding it's fake Geneva role
as champion" for Ethiopia, Brit
ish Imperialism was once o its
natural self when through its
mouthpiece, Forign Minister Sir
Samuel Hoare, declared that
"Italy's claim for expansion" was
justified, in an address before the
House of Commons.
Hoare's staten mt assumed a
more sinister meaning when Lord
Hardings, in the House of Lords,
stated that "the sooner Ethiopia
is handed over by mandate to a
civilized pow.r, the better for
Ethiopia and the rest of the
world"
Limit, Not Halt War"
R~eiterating that Italian Fas-
cism was an "old friend" and
"former ally" to British capital,
.Hoare pointed out that there is
still a breathing space before eco
nomic pressure can be applied"
against Italy.
Very painsteakingly, Hoare *
planned that the purpose of eco
nomic sanctions was not to cripple
Mussolini's government so that
continued invasion was impossible
but "to limit the war, not to ex-
pand it; to shorten and not to ex-
tend its duration"
1t was pointed out in labor
quarters that the only big power
which has thus far applied full
sanction, including financial mea-
surss, against Mussolini was the
Soviet Union.
Secret Agreement
Fear was also expressed that
Great Britain and France have
come to a secret agreement with
Italy to partition Ethiopia into
spheres of influences" taking
Hoare's speech as the first pub
lie announcement in this direc-
ton.
Demonstrations, mass meetings
and medical assistance in the de-
Tense of Ethiopia can be an eff
fective obstacle in the path of the
plans of the imperialists powers,
the labor spokesman stated. In
the United States, funds and med
ical supplies may be sent to DIR.

Medical Committee for the de-
tense of Ethiopia, 1884, 7th Ave

SERMONETTE
By Arthur Il. Rhinow

(For the Literary Service Bur au)
The motorman evidently did not
belong to the upper strata of so
ciety, (far from it, but he con-
versed descendingly with the shah
billy dressed and apparently
feeble minded youth sitting on the
bench beside him. When the poor
fellow got off, this mans eyes
followed him with an expression
of pity, that seemed to say,
"Well, | am superior to you any
way" rathsr a n, 81 wish l
could help you"
How mar relishes this sense Of
superiority. So long as there are
people beneath him he hold
his head high. So the ~aristocrst
looks down upon the proletariat;
the man of the middle classes
thanks the Lord that he is not as
other men are; the next to he
lowest is proud of not being the
lowest; and the lowest rejoices
in being master over the brute.
There is a better class than all
these, however. II is composed of
the men and women who have
realized that the high is never
high enough until it reaches down
to lift up the low. They are
blood and spirit brothers of Him
who made Himself one with tn e
lowest although He so lived that
humanity aceords Him the posi-
ton of unrivallad eminence. He
was the worlds greatest lover,
and they that have caught t h c
love-light of His eyes also find
greatness and supreme satisfae-
ton in serving the lowly. They
are the salt of the earth.

D~isparaging the Dead
BY R. A. Adams

(For the Literary S rvice Bureau)
There is an axiom that runs
"Speak only good of the Dead"
and there is the universal tenden-
cy to" cast the mantle Of charity"
over the shortcomings of those
who have passed into eternity. II
it be sneeringly said that this is
only sentiment let it be remem-
bered that it is very laudable
sentiment, and well founded in
reason.
One reason Is that unkindness
toward the dead will hurt and
wound the living-the loved ones
left behind. Always they are
grieved, and heavy-hearted, and
unkindness toward their departed
friends will increase the burden
eff grief, and that with no profit
to those who do them such hurt.
Again, these relatives and fri nds
will resent such action, SO why
make enemies of them?
There are few liv-s that have
not inspired, encouraged an
helped somone. Influence of this
kind does not end with death. To
discr dit in this way, after tn e
demise, mean to weaken the con-
fidence Of those who trusted and
were helped, and to hinder the
good that the influence of such a
life has exerted.
The whole world severely con-
dennis the ghouls who sneak into
cemeteries, open graves a d rob
caskets, but o rsprehensible
is the conduct of those who fig
uratively drag men from their
graves, magnify their weaknesses
and heap scorn and calumny up
on them and besmaar their rec
ords. No condemnation is too
severe for such detestable crea-
lures.

Maryland Court OF
Appeals Gets Law
Student Case

Annapolis, Nd, Nov. %, AMP
-Maryland's court of appeals
was asked recently to decide
whether the state university can
DO compelled by law to admit a
Negro to its law school. The case
came up from the Baltimore city
court in which Donald C. Murray
sued and won a writ of manda-
mus requiring the university to
enroll him. University officials
appealed.
Murray enrolled at tn Mary
land university law school this
fall and it was reported his
matriculation attracted no unusu-
al notice. University officials, in
refusing his admission, at first
stated a Negro attending there
would cause a drop in enrolment
but the total number of students
registered there increased this
year. Following Murray's en-.
trance, officials stated he would be
treated exactly as were other stu.
dents.
A graduate of Amherst colleg.
and % years old, Murray lives il
Baltimore. His case is based OF
the fact there are not seperat'
and equal Accommodations in Mary.

NAACP Protests
Barring Of ANA
Teur Hour Winner

New York, Nov. 23.-Vigorous
protest was made today by the
NAACP to Major Bowes, of the
famous Major lBowes' Original
Amatuer Hour, and to the Chase
and Sanborn Company, at the
barring of Miss Otis Holley, col
ored soprano, who was denied OPP
portunity to go on tour by Maj
or Bowes because of her color.
The New York WORLD TELE-
GRAM quotes Major Bowes as
staging: This is an unpleasant
situation, but hotels would refuse
to receive her, there would be
trouble at restaurants, theater
dressing room problems, and diff
culties on Pullman cars. One col
ored girl ws sent out gave up and
came home"
The NAACP, in writing Major
Bowes, praised him for his prev
ious freedom from petty racial
prejudices and your fine attitude
toward such Negro singers as
Edward Matthews and Paul Robe
son."
Major Bowes was informed that
it did not question his motives,
but instead questioned and chal-
lenged his timidity in facing race
prejudice. Pointing out that Ne
gro artists in the theater and on
the concert platform do travel in
all parts of America, and even
though they do meet discrimina-
tion in hotels, restaurants and
other places, manage to survive,
Major Bowes is asked not only to
give Miss Holley the opportunity
to travel with the other amatuer
hour winners, but to correct an in
justice to Miss Holley, but in or
der that he may not destroy or
mar the esteem in which many
Negroes and white people hold
you, nor to ALLEVIATE many Negro
users of the products of the Chase
and Sanborn Company"
Major Bowes replied to the AS
sociation's protest by stating that
it's letter was Chased upon COM
plete misinformation,' thus i'm
plying that the World Telegram
was not speaking ~truthfully. Ma
jor Bowes asserted that he h d
several Negroes in the travelling
amateur troops and that he never
Disseminated for OR against any
race, creed or color. He stated
also, that many Negroes appear
OF his amateur programs and that
he has received many letters of
thanks from colored people md
from Negro newspapers. How
ever, he did not state anything
about Miss Holley or explain why
she had not been sent out with one
of the travelling troops.

Dubois Sees Ethiopian
Invasion Turning
Point In History

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. %, Especially
-Italy's attack on Ethiopia
marks the beginning of a new era
for the darker races, DR.. w. E. B.
Dubois, professor of sociology in
Atlanta University, declared last
night in a public lecture on 1.-THE
Future of the Darker Races" at
orehouse College. One may sense
this, he said, by comparing the
present attitude of the world to-
ward this invasion of Ethiopia
with the lack of agitation that fol-
lowed British and German at
tacks on East Africa and Uganda
beginning in 1884, and the atti-
tude of Europe and America to-
ward the Boxer Rebellion.
"The seizure of British and Ger
man East Africa and the annexa-
ton of Uganda forms as shameful
a chapter in the history of i'm
perial aggression of the world has
ever seen," he said. 1.-THE Boxer
Rebellion in China was fomentsd
by white aggression and pun
ished by a determination on the
part of Europe to dismember
China. Yet the whole procedure
evoked almost no protest from
civilization or Christianity.
Contrast with this the feeling
in the world today. The conquest
of Ethiopia is regarded not simp-
ly as wrong, but it is recognized
as the most dangerous step that
Europe a take. The organized
industry of the white races with
vast investments of capital and
the use of miraculous technique
has been directed during the last
one hundred years to the exploita-
ton of raw material and labor un-
til the over expansion of the cap
italistic system has landed the
world on the edge of bankruptcy,
both economic, social and moral.
I'm every modern land, but con-
spicuously in Russia, an attempt
is being made to change the Or
%ganization of industry. This
means that the attempt of the
white world to dominate the dark
world has got to be given up by
Europe and America in sheer self
defense"
This points the clear duty of
the darker nations, DIR. Dubois
believes. Increasing responsible
ity for their own development
will rest upon themselves. Colored
people, he declared, will be sub
ject less and less to physical CO.
e%rcion, exploitation and insult by
white nations; they will form a
of a smaller and more defin-
itely integrated world, and will be
obliged to carry on their reform
and uplift movements, not only
under the eye of the world, but
in close connection with tn e
worlds economic and cultural in
terests.

PROVERBS
AND
PARALLELS
THE BURNED CHILD
uusN 81 V Al

(For the Literary Service Bureau)
"The burned child fears the
fire" is universally accepted as
true. But often curiosity is so
strong or the temptation so great
that persons who have been fig
uratively burned foolishly take
chances on burning again. AS a
general thing, the lower animals
will instinctively avoid places and
circumstances which caused them
suffering. So, the man who ig-
nores past experience and rushes
on to ruin has only himself to
thank-or to blame.
