"a Utn
Says

By FLOYD J. CALVIN
MuSsOlini GlOats

| MuSSOllnl GlOdIS
While Mussolini is gloating over
the advance made on the northern
front in Ethiopia, military observ-
ers are pointing out that new
threat TO his southern line is dim
ming his triumph. Lowell Linz
pus, East African war analyst of
the New York Daily News, says:
I'm the very hour of triumph,
however, there appeared a looming
threat to their success; a little
cloud no bigger than a mans
hand, but a threat, nonetheless &.
1t was in the South, though,
that the little danger cloud ap-
peared. 1t is revealed in few
lines from a Havas dispatch sent
out Feb. %; Scout fiiers informed
Gen. Graziani's lieutenants that
Ethiopian troops again had moved
into the sector north of Dolo,
near Lammashilindi.' If those
Ethiopian troops prove to be in
any considerable number, Graziani
may shortly find himstlf in a des-
perate situation.
Ethiopian troops haven't any
business within $50 miles Of Lam
mashilindi, which is only As miles
from Dolo. If they are strong
enough to push across that As
miles, they can cut the Italian
line of communications and leave
GraZianis army at Neghelli, $50
miles away, stranded high and
dry. 1t would be a crushing
blow.
To reach Lamashilindi, these
warriors of Ras Nassibu must
have slipped between the two
wings of the southern Italian
force and already pushed their
way across country from in front
of Badu Danan or Imi for a dis
lance of 10000 miles. And if
they attack now, GRAHAM will be
fighting with his back to the wall.
He dare not lose, for fear of utter
disaster"
Let Mussolini beware, lest he
gloat to soon.
Youth Speaks Out
The intellectual young manhood
of the race had its say at the Chi
cago Congress recently. 1t made
some sensational discoveries:
that we are beset by innumerable
difficulties; that the road is rocky
to freedom, etc.
Out of the maze of suggestions
and counter suggestions, it ap-
pears that the young men have
found no panacea for our ills,
unless it be working class solid
arity." How good a panacea this
is will not soon be known, for we
must wait on the millennium even
to test the panacea.
A splendid and immediate re-
suit coming from the Congress is
that youth had its say. Getting
things off your chest sometimes
is a big help. After you have
blasted right and left and find the
world keeps rolling along, in
some instances a SOLDERING effect
is achieved.
Relief rolls and WPA jobs are
enough to stir rumblings and
mumblngs. The Conference is a
safety valve.

WPA i'm SOUTH
The Hearst newspapers ar
much exercised over the WPA &C
tivities in the South. "The WPA"
writes Frank @, Waldrop, an
agency of the United States Gov
eminent, is actually paying and
encouraging people to educate IL
literate and poorly read whites and
Negroes in the spirit of uprising
while ostensibly teaching them
agricultural and industrial eco
nomics."
Mr.. Waldrop writes from Ma
con, Ga, and continues: Bust
ness men and employers in this
textile center, which is represent
alive of the general industrial
South, have become bitter and re-
seentful at the discovery of what is
being done to the highly impress
sionable workers under the guise
of helping them
If the WPAis actually helping
poor whites and Negroes, under
any circumstance, we can hardly
wax eloquent except in praise.

course, be held at a minimum this

get under way in october, the
summary says. Several manufac.
turers are now in production of
their 1887 models, and the entire
industry will probably be turning
out next years cars within four
weeks. The report adds:
"The heavy industries are
continuing to make impressive
ShOwingS, and this group, on the
average, is currently operating at
the highest rate in over six
years.
"FOr example, residential
building contracts for the first
three weeks of August were
cOntra-SeaSOnalIy higher than in
July and were approximately 1877
per cent above those for the cor
responding 1885 period. AS a re-
suit Of the sharp reduction in
new Federal projects, the non
residential and public works and
utilities divisions made a much
less favorable showing, which
brought the year-tO-year gain in
all cIaSsificatiOns to IS per cent.
The continued improvement
in residential building is distinct:

the result of basic forces and
lacks the artificial stimulus of

BURKTTTSVILLE, Md, Sept.
12.-AddreSsing a group of Fred
erick county Democrats here last
night Representative David j.
Lewis declared the Social Security
Act provides a system of organ
lied thrift in the interest Of the
workers of the country. He
added:
"The social security law car
rieS a provision under which
employees and employers con-
tribute to funds to provide un.
employment insurance and old
age pensions. This institution
and method of enforced thrift
has been long established in
other countries"
Representative Lewis said that
during the years 1880 to 1893, in
elusive, private corporations in the
United States paid $21 ,214, 1926, 900
in dividends, of which $17,267,-
100000 was paid out of reserves
built up from profits of previous
years. He said:
"While it was natural for
these financierS when setting
aside ST., 200, 200, 900 of reserves
to protect their stockholders,
to not include the millions of
human beings in their employ,
Congress could not decently,

NEW YORK, Sept. IL Q.N.S)
Some $4,000 of Father Charles E.
Coughlin's followers today had
heard the Detroit radio priest ad'
NIT he erred in supporting Presi'
dent Roosevelt in 1882 and urge
the election of william E. Lemke,
Union party candidate.
Father Coughlin spoke at Eb
belts Field, Brooklyn, before a
crowd that fell far short of the
$4,000 expected to attend. He ad-
vocated a minimum yearly wage
for workmen, declaring:
Every able-bOdied man Is
entitled to a fair minimum
wage, and the ticket headed by
Representative william Lemke
should be put into office as a
means Of achieving q system Of
true social Justice"
The huge audience, which had
paid admissions ranging from SIS
cents to $1.65, frequently inter
rupted the priest with cheers.
ASSailing the New Deal" Father
Coughlin declared it had failed in
its efforts to restore price levels
to their 1926 status. He said:
I'm spite of Gods help with
the drought, cotton Is still SELL
ing at 10 cents a pound and
fOOdStuffS are still at depression
prices. But for people living in
the cities, prices are going higher
and higher"
Attacking New Deal" monetary
policies, the radio priest declared:
IL believed President ROOse-
welt when he said he would
natiOnalize gold, but instead Of
driving the money changers out
Of the temples, he gave them
the temples and the key to the
temples, in the form Of double
