into Ethiopia, it is significant to notice that the League of
Nations does not rely upon moral judgment or the pressure
of public opinion. Of course, the value of these factors cannot
be oyer-estimated but their potency in preventing the use of
force may be doubted. Largely through the leadership of Great
Britain, the League has adopted the policy of sanctions against
Italy but there is no misunderstanding as to the eventual nee
essity for the use Of force.
Speaking recently, Stanley Baldwin, Prime Minister of
Great Britais, pointed out that sanctions will lead inevitably to
a blockade, the brunt of which will fall on the British Navy.
He spoke ominously of the test involved, pointing out frankly
that he would not agree to the use of the British fleet in a
blockade unless he was sure beforehand of the attitude Of the
United States of America.
While there may be many reasons why the United States
should remain aoof from the quarrels Of Europe, there seems
to be none whatever why this country should not make plain
its position in the event that the League of Nations institutes
a blockade against an aggressor. Certainly, the United States
should not bind itself in advance but in the present case the
facts are apparent and there is no reason why this country
should not frankly state its attitude towards a League blockade
if one is proposed against Italy.
By remaining silent or permitting Its future course to be
uncertain, this country would prevent any concerted action
in support of the Leagues position. 1t would in effect encour-
age future aggression by a stubborn insstance upon it's rights
as a neutral trader. II, as a matter of fact, we believe that
human life takes precedence over property rights, there should
be no hesitation as to our national policy. Moreover, there
should be no secrecy about our attitude toward the present
or any similar crisis in the future.

A JUDGE CUTS THE FEES

Some of the criticism that is directed against the lawyers
and the courts in this country is based upon the inability of
the public to comprehend many issues or to understand the
work done by lawyers and court officials in certain cases. At
the same time, the public is convinced, and rightly SO, that
very often legal proceedings which are ostensibly instituted
for the protection of parties to the litigation, wind up in a
distribution of valuables assets in the shape of fees and allow
ances among the lawyers involved.
What seems to be a recent example of this comes TO light
in New York City where Federal Judge Alfred C. Coke, crit
icized the "vcarious generosity with stockholders money and
ruled against payments to a multiplicity of lawyers and
committees in the receiyership and reorganization Of the Para
mount Corporation now known as Paramount Pictures
Incorporated.
lie states that SO petitioners ~insluding some of the most
prominent law firms in New York City filed claims for
services and expenses amounting to ~$3,239,828 in a case
which has been in the court for more than two years The
Federal judge allowed only $~1,026,71f, disal1ewing three
fourths OF the amount asked for services and twothirds OF the
alleged expense" money. He pointed out that "receigers,
trustees and their attorneys are court officials and "'ean
neither expect nor be paid more than a moderate eompeusa-
ton

ticany everyone and should be generally observed throughout

DEPRESSION AND NEGRO
i
(By Dorothy e. Horsley)

We read great editorials, long items of every kind, poems
and essays, and just topic headlines, on the depression and its
imprint on white youth. But have we as a race wondered what
impression it will have on our young boys and girls in the
futuref
We of course know the almost miraculous progress of your
race in the last seventy years, but the strong courageous men
and women of yesterday are going fast, many are gone. Those
men and women were born to II ardships they seemed to thrive
on adversely and depression, they were the pioneers of our race
and many were without education.
The youth of today with education free to all, make us wond-
-r on Commencement Day. There are SO few of the Negro
youth to take a part, and strange as it seems, of the few who
graduate, two thirds are girls.
Do the Negro boys lose courage and wonder of what use
is education, when at the best their ambitions must end with
a porters humdrum existence, if their parents have not the means
and (who has these days. to educate them for a professional
lifeR' Or, are they just content, figuratiyely speaking, to set
under a tree and look at the sum-
One writer said: 'It is the Negro women that have made
the race what it is, and her lot in life is doubly hard, for she
must be progressive herself, keep a firm hand on her children
and literally drag her husband along"
We find the Negro girls working hard to develop them
i'm music and art to educate themselves in business, social
welfare, and teaching.
AS the Negro has always seemed to thrive in adversely this
should be a golden time for education. Work is scarce, jobs
that were once allotted to Negroes are given TO white, but de-
prossiOn will not last forever, and when the time of prosperity
comes again, Negro youth should be ready to take his or her
in the SUM-
Now is the time for preparedness. The youth of today
must be the man and header of tomorrow, and if the physical
mem must be, unemployed, the MIND can be developed to
greater heights.
The foreign emigrs' of yesterday, with his Unsuitable
thirst for learning did not despair because opportunity did not
Immediately knock at his door. Why. then does the Negro
youth with his natural aptitude for learning, his mental capac-
ty for knowledge, despair, and lose heart because the depres
is with US nowH Is there no tomorrow in the archives
Of Negro YOUTH Is life just todayH
Yes there is a tomorrow, greater by far than was our
yesterday. So deveope ''your talents Negro youth, for, ITO
him that hath. shall be giVen. and when the clouds of deDreS-
sion are lifted, you will be ready to accept the gifts that

This latest antiNegro activity has resulted in a campaign to

ITALY'S PAST ATTEMPTS
TO CONQUER ETHIOPIA

Italy has had imperiaistic designs on Africa since 1880
when both France and Italy had their eyes on Tuns, but
France seized Tuns in 1881. In 1887 Italy tried to conquer
Ethiopia but failed; tried again in 1889 and annexed Eritrea
as a colonial possession; tried again in 1896 and failed. How
ever, in 1891 Italy concluded an agreement with Great Britain
whereby the British Government definitely recognized Abys
sinia as within the Italian sphere of Influence in return for
an Italian recognition Of British rights in the Upper Nile
During the World War; in order to get Italy to intervene on
their side, the Allies promised Italy not only various colonial
possessions, but also a zone of influence in Asa Minor and
eventually a share in its partition. Italy was also promised
virtual control Of Albania should such a state be created. Italy
however, emerged from the war sadly disappointed in her
colonial ambitions. 1t was left for Mussolini to complete the
plans for Italian aggression and expansion, by concentratig on
the conquest Of Ethiopia, the last independent state in Africa
Because OF the acute economic difficulties in which fascist
Italy finds itself, Mussolni offers the need of a source of
raw materials such as cotton, rubber, coffee, metals, etc, as
ms reason for his African campaign of conquest in spite Of
II at mat all capitalist countries today suffer from a sur

WORLD PEACE HAS

We read about world peace which seems to be the common

writings of educators, statesmen and others who set out their
thoughts for the public enlightenment. Undoubtedly there
exist a strong yearning for peace, almost amounting to
a demand on the part of a somewhat disillusioned human race
In the United States there is no exception. However, here
as elsewhere, few seem to understand thoroughly that peace
will not descend upon the world unless it is earned by the
people of the world who must be ready to pay the price nee
essary to establish law and maintain order among the nations
of the earth.

SERMONETTE

In a recent address by the

of the county court of Queens
County, New York, the speak
er called attention to the
worlds fair that is to be held
in New York in 1899. 1t was a
stirring as well as thoughtful
presentation of an engaging
subject, and one of his remarks
will probably linger long in the
minds of his hearers. i
Millions will visit the fair,

We cannot help becoming
very serious when we ask our

microcosm, a compendium Of
past achievements and modern
miracles, and the men in charge
of the undertaking will, no
doubt, endeavor to make it sur
pass anything of the kind that
has gone before.
They will also take with them
impressions of the metropolis,
great New York, with its
heights and depths, the can
yons of a mighty business CEN
ter, the harbor, schools and
churches. But not the least of
all will they be impressed with
the character of the people who
live there. Not every one will
be so impressed, to be sure, but
certainly the visitors who are
able to judge values with the
poise of a broad culture,
