WORLD IN REVIEW
BY Frank Marshall Davis for AMP
A HALF MILLION
Foa ETHIOPIA


FOR ETHIOPIA
The United Aid for Ethiopia, on
ly organization In America having
the endorsement of Consul Shaw
and Lii Tasfaye zaphiro, special
Ethiopian goodwill ambassador to
these shores, is asking for $500, 900
as an aid to the land of Emperor
Halle Selassie.
There is no reason why Negroes
cannot contribute this amount. We
have yelped loud enough and long
enough about what a Shame" it
is for Mussolini and those white
European nations to take advan-
tage of defenseless Ethiopia. If
lip service counted for anything,
Selassie would be dictator of the
world for American Negroes would
have talked him there.
It is of course unfortunate that
not all organizations formed in the
first stages of Italo-Ethiopian war
fare, apparently to aid Abyssinia,
sent their proceeds to Africa. 1t
is a fact that prior to zaphiro's
visit here, very little money raised
to help Ethiopia helped anybody
but those who raised it. zaphiro
came here expressly to counter
balance this racketeering tendency
Of certain Negroes posing as lead
ers.
But the United Aid for Ethiopia
has no such record. One may con-
tribute to this organization with
the certain knowledge that cash
won't go round and around and
come out way over here in night
club or brothel A nickle from
each of the 100000 Aframeri-
cans would do much toward keep
ing Ethiopia for the Philippians.

THE NEGRO
CONGRESS AGAIN


One of the most distorted re-
ports of the recent National Negro
Congress held in Chicago appears
in the March issue of the National
Republic, a white magazine. 1t is
described under the general head
ing, 1.-THE Enemy Within Our Cat
es," and says, among other things,
From the seeds planted by Com
rnunists at Howard university a
year ago, there developed the Ma
tional Negro Congress the
movement will attempt to organize
all Negroes into unions, the nation
al union to be known as the Negro
Trade Union"
This account is in keeping with
other reports turned in by dele
gates to the congress. Thus far,
no two accounts yet printed or rem
dered orally have been the same.
The only point of agreement seems
that a good many Negroes and
whites staged meeting Of some
sort in Chicago, February IS, 16,
and II.

medicine.

Yount says. Finally the doctors outdstanced
him acquiring fresh theories and knowledge
and using new and effective weapons in the age

Primitive man believed that disease came
not from natural causes. He believed it was the
action of unfriendly spirits, demons ghosts or
witches. Therefore, the way to treat it was to
resort to magic, directed against these forces
Accordingly the history of medicine is

Among all the welter of the false beliefs of

principles which are the foundations of modern
medicine. Even though these people followed an
incorrect theory of the of illness. they
occasionally stumbled onto important facts
about disease.
For example: Primitive man often had the
stomach ache just as might one of us today
but he thought the pain due to an evil spirit
tormenting him. Then he found that often this
pain followed the eating of unripe fruit. So he
learned the fact that ne must avoid fruit until
it was fully ripe.

In connection with hypnotic beliefs, DR..
Major tells of the strange faith which the
Czarina of Russia placed in Rasputin, when her
son Alexis was stricken He reports as follows:
~ TITLE Alexis at the age of three was play
l. ing in the garden one day when he fell
and began to bleed The court physician applied
the usual remedies, but the bleeding continued.
The Czarina tainted. A group of eminent spe-
cialists was summoned and, after careful exam
ination told the mother what she already
feared that the child was suffering from the
dread hereditary disease, hemophilia. The hem
orrhage was finally checked. The distracted
mother asked how it was to be cured. The spe-
cialists shook their heads gravely and said
There is no cure
From that moment the frantic mother began
her search for cure. Every physician is
familiar with this frame of mind It has made
possible the army of charatans from the Witch
of Endor to King Benjamin. AS long as this
planet survives, there will probably be people
suffering from diseases that cannot be cured
and charlatans promising cure so let us be
charitable with the drowning person clutching
at his straw.
"The Czarina began in the approved fashion
She started out by berating the imbecile physi-
clans who could not cure her child Then she
sent for every specialist who was recommended

shook their heads. There is no cure Your
