UNKNOWN ABYSSINIA
IMPORTANT FACTOR
IN AFRICA’S FUTURE
NE\V YORK, June 9.—(/P)—Abys
sinia, the hermit nation of Africa, is
the enigma of international states*
| manship, according to the official
| report of the Educational Commis
sion to East Africa, which is now
being distributed by the lMielps
Stokes Fund. The one great native
empire of the African continent,
Abyssinia has recently been admit*
| ted as a member of the League, of
, Nations, although so little is known
j- of it that the estimates of popula
tiou range from 4,000,000 to 10,000,
000.
“Uneonquored, unknown and un
developed, Abyssinia is at once a
country of great material resources
and of serious and difficult prob
lems,” the report continues. “The
most unique element in the posi
tion of the empire is its independ
ence of European control. The re
markable agricultural possibilities,
including almost half of the cultiva
table soil of temperate climates in
East Africa, must inevitably respond
to the demand of the world for the
necessities of life. The increasing
facility of transportation and travel
will necessarily compel the partici
pation of this great empire in the
economic activities of civilization.
‘The geographical position of Abys
sinia in northeast Africa with Euro
pean colonies encircling its territory,
nationalistic Egypt close at hand, and
restless India not far away, all add
to the impending character of Abys
sinian possibilities.
“In the present awakening of Af
rica, and especially of East Africa,
it seems certain that this great in
land empire will be forced upon the
attention of the world.
“The vital problem now confront
ing, not only Abyssinia but also East
Africa and the nations whose peace
and prosperity are involved, is how
and when that empire is to become
a factor in world affairs. Shall it
be by way of exploitation, whether
by selfish classes within the empire
or by ruthless rivalries of foreign
agencies, thus adding another ele
ment of perplexity in international
relationships? Or shall it be by way
of international cooperation and the
encouragement of the Abyssinians to
adopt the processes of development
; based on sound economics, sound so
j ciology, sound government and,
above all, sound ■ education related to
i the physical welfare, the mental ca
pacities and the moral and religious
needs ol* the people?”

named as empress with her kinsman,
Ras Tat'ari, as prince regent and
heir to the throne. This ruling fam
ily is commonly supposed to be des
cended from Solomon and the Queen
of Sheba. The Abyssinians are
Christians of the ancient Coptic
Church. The masses are eager for
education, but the patriarch is said
to be unfriendly to the activities of
missionaries of other* faiths. On the
other hand Ras Tafari gives every
evidence of wanting to cooperate.
In summing up this “land of strik
ing contrasts” the report says that
the Abyssinians are “possibly the
most capable of African people, cer
tainly the most highly developed in
native governmental and community
organization, but among the most
backward of all Africa in the bene
fits of sanitation and hygiene, al
most entirely lacking in the advan
tages of school systems, strikingly
barron of the necessities and conve
niences of the civilized home, and re
markably separated from the stimu
lations and profits of international
exchange. The elimination of these
strange and interesting contrasts is
a prodigious task.”
Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, educa
tional director of the Phelps-Stokes
Fund, headed the commission which
spent six months in East Africa, sup
plementing a similar study which was
made under his leadership in West,
South and Equatorial Africa in 1920.

“ii you are mentioning automobiles,

prior to his departure from Seward
Monday for his island home. Mr.
Ross has just returned from Port

husband.
'Mr. Ross went Outside on a di

to Seattle was made in seven days.
Mr. and Mrs. Ross remained over at

'Mrs. C. C. Brown, who has been

with Alaska and stated, prior to her
departure for the States, that she was
returning in the fall and would re
main in Seward for at least over
the winter months.
