Ethiopia Drains
Italy's Treasury;
Natives Resist

ROME, Observation-Disclosures
leaders admit that Italy's new
african empire" has assumed the
shape of white elephant" which
already has cost the Fascist gov
eminent more than two, billion and
a half dollars.
The exploitation of Ethiopia is
proving, Fascists admit, even a big
ger job than its conquest, which,
incidentally, is far from complete.
Before the Chamber of Fasces
and Corporations, Duke Thaon di
Revel, Minister of Finances, re-
Gently admitted that in five years
Ethiopia had cost Italy $1,000, 0OO,-
900, including the heavy expenses
of the military campaign. This
represents the equivalent of four
annual budgets for the entire
Italian Government.
General Attilio Teruzzi, Under
Secretary for Colonies, admitted
before the same body that native
resistance to the Fascist invaders
was still at a high point.

ALI Races Have
Given to Make
America Great
Says Secretary Ickes to Graduates

Says Secretary Ickes to Graduates
NEW YORK, June-(CNA)-
Addressing the $500 graduates of
the adult classes of the New York
City Board of Education, Secretary
of the Interior Harold L. Ickes this
week urged them to keep in mind
always that 'for the sake of our
common country, of our future, of
our democracy, we must, every one
OF, us, learn to respect one an
others race, religion, color and cul-
ture." The graduating exercises
were held at the Court of Peace at
the. New York Worlds Fair.
eve are a land of many cultures
and many races and everyone, the
Scandinavian and the Italian, the
German and the Jew, the Briton
and the Slav, the Negro and the
Indian has contributed his full
share of mind and muscle to the
upbuilding of our American civili-
zation," the hard-hitting New Deal
err told the graduates. "We must
take pride in everything worth
while that our various ethnic
groups have given US and we must
neVer-if we are to remain free,
peaceful and united-permit the
spread of poisonous and idiotic no
tions of superior and inferior
Americans. We are all Americans,
members of the same common
wealth, fellow workers in the same
society,""
More than $4,000 persons attend
ed the dramatic and beautiful serv-
ices which marked the graduation
of the $500 Americans, most of
them fOreign-born, of the Adult
Education. Classes in English and
Citizenship,
Ickes in his address referred to
the vital connections between de-
mocracy and education.
Democracy means the political
freedom Of the person; education
implies intellectual freedom, free
dom from prejudice, from bad
taste, from self-deception. To be
ignorant and at the same time free
is a contradiction in terms. De-
ception has always battoned upon
darkness"
A similar note was struck by
Governor Lehman and Mayor La
Guardia, who also addressed the
graduates. Governor Lehman
pointed out:
"Our nation is composed of peo-
pie of different stocks and many
nationalities, but all united by
love of liberty"

WASHINGTON, June.-A sharp
fight, the outcome of which will de-
eide the fate of the nations unem-
ployed, was under way this week
as New Deal forces prepared to de-
fend the progressive and humani-
tartan program of the WPA.
Led by Representative Woodrum
of Virginia, the Democratic Repub-
lican coalition in the House report
ed out the 1910 Relief Bill, drawn
by the Woodrum witch-hunting ap-
preparations subcommittee which
has been investigating relief.
The bill calls for the liquidation
of the Federal Theatre Project, a
New Deal agency that has provided
jobs for hundreds of Negro profess
sional people for whom opportuni-
ties in private enterprise are prac-
tically nil, drastic reductions in the
personnel of other white collar
projects that employ considerable
percentages of Negroes, limitation
of construction projects to a $685.
900 maximum, as we'll as other pro-
hibitions which, social workers
agree, would have disastrous re-
suits on the welfare of the needy
and on the whole recovery pro-
gram.
The bill was vigorously opposed
by Colonel Harrington, WPA adj
ministrator, who warned that its
provisions would practically
wreck the program now in opera
ton" He assailed the "glaring
misstatements of facts" of anti
WPA witnesses, who testified be-
fore the Woodrum committee.
New Deal forces in Congress,
fighting desperately to save WPA,
were being backed by progressives
and organizations of WPA workers
throughout the country.
