CIVILIZATION may crumble
Aand disappear, and new eras
may be born to take their place.
Not Immediately, of course. Not
tomorrow, nor next month nor
next year. But in the future. And
what is beginning in Africa is one
more step in that direction.
What happens to AbysSinla is
beside the point, when looking at
the great, broad aspects of this
Frankenstein of modern Civiliza-
ton. Abyssinia is but an incident.
She will disappear like all weak
nations disappear, when strong
nations covet them.
To find the answer to African
invasion-one must look to Africa
itself, then Europe and finally
Asia. All these inter European
struggles-Hitler, Austria, the
Balkan agitation against realign-
ment, French and German Suspi-
cions-they are not of European
origin.
Do you study America by in
specting Washington? Go to
Washington and you will find
Westinghouse appallingly ig-
norant of what transpires in the
outside domestic world.
Neither, then, can one find the
solution OF Europe's troubles by
studying Europe. Look to Africa
and to Asia and you find the key.
EOR a moment look at Asia.
Il Asia-let us be specific and
say Japan and China-has been
taught the industrialized ways of
the Occidental world, by us, the
Occidentals.
When Admiral Peary forced his
way into the harbor of Yokahoma,
and said to the japanese emperor.
open up your ports to America,
or I'll blow you to kingdom come
he thought he was doing the
world great service.
Instead, he hammered another
huge nail into the coffin Of the
Western worlds dominance.
Japan opened up and learned
Occidental ways. And she became
an apt pupil. The yellow man
soon adopted the Western worlds
materialistic ways of doing things,
but applied them to his particular
sphere, with Asiatic or Oriental
reasoning.
And the Western mind can
never understand the Eastern.
East is East, and West is West,
and ne'er the twain shall meet"
wrote Kipling and one wonders if
this great Englishman, who knew
his colonies, had not a suspicion
of what was coming far, far in the
future.
Japan's present aim is solely the
Orient, in it's own sphere of in
fluence. The Western worlds
great aim at present is not to
take more land (of course, except
ing italy,, but to defend that land
which is already possesses in Asia
against the entertainments of an
Observation-Disclosures, but Oriental
thinking Japan.
And despite the Western worlds
best efforts to date, the open door
of Asia is slowly closing. Inch by
inch, it is getting closer to the
time when the latch will click and
the bolt will rattle homeland the
yellow man will have thrust the
white man out of Asia, from his
position of commercial and social
dominance.
Il
HERE is one door closing. An
l. l. other door is already closed.
That is the door to the United
States. Up until the World War,
America was a debtor nation.
The war turned her over night
into creditor nation, and this
giddy transformation has proven
too much for United States di-
plomacy.

Tended by the man by whom
it was assailed.
But all these obstacles and
dangers were overcome by Sir
Robert Napier and that came to
pass which ten years ago none OF
us could have imagined in his
dreams-the standard OF st.
George was hoisted on the noun
tains of Raselas."
DUT when the shouting and the
~ praising all died away, and
cooler and saner thoughts pre-
vailed, st. George suddenly decid-
ed that he didn't want his stand
ard to remain flying on the noun
tains of Ethiopia. That it was
likely to be too unhealthy. That
a protectorate would soon embroil
England in international compll-
cations.
France and Italy were already
entrenched on the northern and
southern sides of Ethiopia, with
Eritrea and their Somalilands.
1t would have been very nice for
the British to have controlled the
waters of Lake Tana, which feed
into the Blue Nile, as we'll as the
waters of all the other streams
which race down the mountain
sides toward the Sudan-it would
have insured forever irrigation for
that valuable ground on which
Egypt grows her cotton-the cot
ton which is now competing with
American cotton and which has
captured many of the world mar
ketS relinquiShed by the south
erners of Texas and Louisiana in
exchange for New Deal crop re-
duction schemes.
But despite this enticement, the
British authorities, with wise and
long heads, decided to retire from
Ethiopia, rather than begin an
endless, perhaps expensive and
fruitless argument with other pow
erS as to who should control this
ancient biblical kingdom.
So the British signed treaties
with the other nations to the eff
feet that each would respect the
rights Of others in regard to
Abyssinia.
WHAT happened was that the
w three great powers, Eng
land, France and Italy, after
stalking out claims all around
Ethiopia, finally reached the
point where none could afford to
connive at the expansion of the
others without detriment to his
own interests.
So they proceeded to guarantee
the integrity and independence of
Ethiopia by the tripartite agree
ment of December. 1906, and more
or less reiterated in 1880.
So, first being unable to pro-
duce the teaching Christianity
excuse, and second, deciding that
Ethiopia was a little too much of
a handful to hold, even though it
had fallen into her lap, England
remained satisfied to run the
crimson line Of British conquest
through Uganda and Kenya, leav-
ing Ethiopia independent and
sovereign state.
But this time. Ethiopian inde-
pendence is doomed to dis
appear. This time it is the eco
nomic pressure of the white mans
civilization which has forced its
feud upon a world, weary of war
and anxious only to win back
prosperity from the depths of an
economic depression started from
the very same sources.
And few people fully realize the
enormous complexities, the stag
gering implications, which are
wrapped up in this African strug-
gle. They threaten empires and
they involve that intimate, vola-
tile factor known as color.

WHEN Al didn't run up the distress
w signal after that, Mitchell was
through. Delaney came out for the
seventh round and rammed crushing
left hooks and right crosses TO the
head and body to leave Mitchell
groggy and bleeding at the bell. In
/ the eighth it was Just as easy for
Delauey-if not as hard on Mitchell.
Terry's battle plan shaped up early
when he virtually conceded a decision
to Delaney and tried desperately to
put across kayo wallop In the first
round he exchanged well enough to
earn a draw but in the second De-
/ laney knocked Mitchell into the ropes.
which probably saved the Brooklynite
from a quick knockdown.
| The third round found Mitchell on
queer street after a barrage Of blows
| which had the customers wincing but
| Terry courageously fought his highly
touted foe on even terms in the
| fourth.
Again in the fifth round Mitchell
seemed ready for the sleep rocking,
only to again escape the big blow. 1t
| probably was the one-sidedneSs in this
heat that made Delaney over-con-
fident and careless for that sixth
round blow but. since it didn't cost
their favorite any great price. 1t
seemed to be all right with Delaneys
followers.

way AL caught Terry's one big bid
