committee on Recreation,
Federation of Child Welfare.
City.
Please permit me to congratulate
your Committee and the organization
Of which it is part, upon the splen-
did recreational program which YOU
propose. It should meet the hearty
approval and enthusiastic support of
every progressive citizen in this grow
ing community.
AS minister of the Gospel, inter-
ested in any good thing for our
youth, I am especially interested in
your project. Wholesome recreation
and vital religion go hand-in-hand
producing happy spirit in a healthy
body. Anything that builds youth
beckons to us for our interest and
support. ~.
Such a program as you propose will
lead young people off the streets and
out of the alleys. It will pull them
away from things which put person
atty in peril and place them in a
constructive program with definite
purpose to build character through
the channels of sportsmanship. fun
and fair play.
Surely this community should like
to see your plan put into operation. I
appeal to every person who respects
the rights of human personality and
who wants to share in something
which will bring into flower and
fruitage the finest factors and forces
in our young people to support this
most worthy movement.
Very sincerely,
A. S. HALE.

Italian Successes
Much Exaggerated
Ethiopian Conquest Is Far
From Accomplished, Writes
Noted American

In the confusing reports COM
ing out Of the war in Africa, it
is difficult to get a picture that
may be regarded as authentic. Re-
ports of great victories by Italian
armies are astounding in view of
the very widespread belief that
the hinterland of Ethiopia cannot
successfully be invaded. This
gives more than usual significance
and value to what Pierre Van
Paassen, noted American CORE
spondent, has to say. Writing in
the May issue of "The Fight"
monthly publication of the Ameri-
can League Against War and Fas-
cism, van Paassen declares: "Ba-
doglio is trying to catch mice with
a sledge-hammer."
Not only is it untrue that the
Ethiopian forces have been
smashed by II Duce's armies in
East Africa, but it is the Italians
who are desperate, writes the
noted American foreign correspon-
dent. The Italian army has been
sending exaggerated communicates
to Rome, and Rome has added even
more to the mixture, van Paassen
writes, and the outside world is
