Ethiopia Winning
BY FLOYD J. CALVIN

the hunters. MANY Oh the melrOpO- |
Titan papers, formerly quite vocal
in defense of Italy's policy of ex-
pansion at the expense of the fol-
low member Of the League of Ma
tons, are now finding other topics |
far more interesting than the
Ethiopian war for comment. The |
reason is not that there is no ac-
tivity in Ethiopia, but that the ac-
tivity is of such nature that the
pro-Italian press would rather not
discuss it. The fact is, Ethiopia is
winning.
A few of the larger papers have
the courage to admit that Ethiopia
is taking care of herself nicely.
We note in the New York Herald
Tribune a long editorial entitled
six Weeks Of Badoglio," in which
the facts of the African campaign
are frankly faced. Says the Tri-
bune:
Rome has dismissed the Ethio-
plan announcement of the reoc-
cupation of Tembrien as just an
other claim typical of Adds Aba
ba.' If so, one can only observe
that when it comes to veracity the
Ethiopian batting average seems
to have been, if anything, a shade
better than the Italian. Doubtless
the truth is that neither side is in
secure possession of Tembien, but
that in itself would be in the ma
ture of a defeat for Italy. The
war is now we'll in its fourth
month. 1t is about six weeks since
Marshal Badoglio landed (on
November 26) at Massawa to in
fuse new spirit into the northern
advance, but there has been no adj
vance, and the Italian position
would seem to be rather worse
than it was on that day"
After analyzingf Badoglio's
movements and showing he has
failed to make Roadway, the bomb
ing campaign is characterized as
ineffective "since the Philippians
have learned to scatter at the
sound of motors" So Ethiopia is
winning.
Labor Forecast
In special correspondence to
Calvin's Newspaper Service on
The Outlook for Negro Labor in
1886 Mr., T. Arnold Hill, acting
executive secretary of The Nation
al Urban League, says:
"Negro labor should look for
ward to 1886 with every expecta-
ton that working conditions will
be improved Sentiment is growing
in legislative circles in favor of
better working conditions, higher
wages, and more satisfactory rela-
tions, between employers and en-
ployees. The public mind is max
ing progress in this same direc-
ton. The Negro cannot remain
asleep in the midst of the progress
sive movement for labor that is
going on everywhere. Not only will
this progressivism of necessity
benefit him, but he, in turn, as evil
denced by growing interest in
Workers Council promoted by the
Urban League and the Negro pro-
fessional mans concern in labor
problems, will bestir himself and
use the means of education, orga
nization, action and pressure for
his own good as we'll as for the
welfare of all workers"
