The gates of Boston are open
wide today in warm welcome
to our distinguished visitor,
His Imperial Majesty, The En-
peror of Ethiopia. Rarely is it
our pleasure to greet the ruler
of a foreign nation. Rarely, in
deed, do we have the added
pleasure Of greeting a leader
whose very name arouseS our
utmost respect and admiration.
The pages of history are re-
plete with acts of courage, of
heroisnl, of gallantry, but no
history of modern times will be
complete unless it records the
bold, fearlessness and the stir
ring words of our guest of hon
or in that fateful and almost
fatal period when madness and
fear Stalked the world, and
nadmen rode the steeds of war.
If ever there was a voice cry
ing in the wilderness it was tht
voice of Halle SelasSie when he
yainly warned the world that
the appetites of dictators are
never satisfied with a single
mouthful, and their thirst new
er slaked with a single swallow.
