LET'S GET BACK TO WORK

The American people expressed their will at the polls,
Tuesday returning President Franklin Roosevelt office
with the most overwhelming vote of public confidence
recorded in the political history of our country.
The campaign waged vigorously by candidates
of all parties, and in many instances there much mud
sling and vituperation.
Now that the election has been definitely decided,
however, the spirit of democracy demands that all bit
terness and political anmOstes be buried and forgotten
Unsuccessful candidates should forget the sting defeat
and work harder than to help bring country
still greater happiness and prosperity.
Prosperity is definitely the way 1t is therefore
the solemn obligation of all good American citizens,
CARELESS of political affaton to aid those in public of
flee in pushing forward the wheels of American progress
The election is Let's forget politics for the pre-
sent and get back the job of restoring normal business
and economic activities and increasing the and
curty of nation.

who said after being informed that
Prof. Ericsson had. been present
with other white persons at a din

had heard Ford make speech in
public: Il believe a university pro-
lessor should enjoy the right OF
freedom of speech and liberality

1t is his duty to do so, but when
faculty members conduct and
philosophy of life become so op
posed to American tradition, es-
pecially to Southern tradition, as
to be offensive to the sensibilitie'
of the thousands of alumni and tC
the taxpayers of the state then
il is time for the university adj
ministration to start general
house cleaning. l can see no place
in the faculty of the Uni

"They have gone through the

white man thinks because of the
very nature of circumstances which
they must meet. They are learning
better health habits. They are, to a

Rome-(ANP)-Three years ago,
n 1888, Benito Mussolini decided
to seize Ethiopia and began pre-
parations for the Italo-Ethiopian
war which started last year, ac-
cording to THE Preparations and
the First Operations" a book just
published by Marshall Emilio de
Bono. who commanded the invad
ers during the early stages of the
conflict.
De Bono said that when II Duce
decided to grab Ethiopia, he was
sent to make an extensive survey
and report his findings. At the start
of 1884, the commander of the
Eritrean troops and the Italian
military attache at Adds Ababa
came to Rove for talks with Musso-
lini and de Bono.
Actual preparations consisted of
enlisting more native troops in
Eritrea, building roads, barracks,
and warehouses, and sending sec
ret agents to undermine the al
legiance of the Philippians to Halle
Sellassie. De Bono left for Africa
again January 1885. In May,
trouble with England began. At the
end of June, Mussolini sent letter
to de Bono indicating the war
would have been STAYED off had
England put it's foot down.
"In a very secret note" says de
Bono's book, "Il Duce told me that

Taken Into Custody
For writing this article, Wallace
Johnson was arrested on June 9th
on the charge of 'Seditious Publ
cation and held in custody. The
authorities in the Gold Coast were
apparently uncomfortable about the
agitation which developed as a con-
sequence of the passing of the Levy
Ordinance by the Legislative Coun-
ell, giving new taxation powers to
the Paramount Chiefs.
When the prosecution opened it's
case about Wallace Johnson on
June oath a letter addressed by
him to the League Against Impe-
rialism on May 30th in which ne
had described the agitation against
the Poll Tax, was intercepted by
the Police and rendered in evidence
against him.
Johnson was committed to the
Assizes on July LIST. The applica-
ton made for the case to be COM
mitted to the October Assizes m
order to enable the defense to Sc.
cure evidence from abroad was at
first dis-allowed, but subsequently
granted. Hugh Thomas, the Secre-
tary for Native Affairs in the Gold
Coast Government, was called as a
witness by the Prosecution.

The birthrate of colored America
is going down fastest of all Ameri-
cans Hopelessness is the reason.
With the movement of greater
numbers of Negroes to the cities.
the decline will increase. Though
cities, in one way, offer greater
freedom to Negroes, they have their
own forms of severe slavery. (This
goes for whites, too). AS long as
people have the earth and the sky
10 themselves, they can better en-
dure human bondage, because these
avenues of escape to the spirit. A
bad diet in the country where sun
shine is free and air pure, does not
ravage the body as a bad city diet.
The city diet is killing colored
America. You have to become food
conscious, select your diet deliber-
ately and scientifically to survive
city life. Most Afroamericans don't
do this.
