iPlsr lbli�^i15i1:1.
IIru la's '5,00:4,000 bales have been
found too short in "staple; but 'bhe
"Sakel" cotton of the Sudan is of
first-rate quality. Therefore, govern,•
neent loans, new railways, roads and'
canals, a4 well as giant schemes like
the. Makwar Dam and •Gebel Antis
on the 'Blue (or Abyssinian) Nile—
here are •tfokens of Britain's ,new bid
for "Empire" eaten and economic
self-.s'tl'iciency: .
Above all comes the impending
oons'ervati'on of water at Lake Tana
in the Gojam highlands of Ethiopia
proper.. There the !Blue Nile --which
is the true life blood bf Egypt and
the Sudan—pours out of an old vol-
canic crater at 6,000 feet. And con-
trol of this source in a sem•ibar'bar-
•sus land has for the . past- 40 years
been a grave anxiety to Downing
Street and the •subject of many treat-
ies'—notably with the Emperor Mene-
lik.
Then the slave system in his loose
realm has long been an added prob-
lem. Ethiopia's feudal' lords have a1=
ways dealt in.' s)ave•s. Their local
troops had special hunting grounds
which were rounded u'p for hapless
men, wo-men and children.. Federal
taxes were paid in these slaves in-
stead of cash. Some of the provin-
cial rases owned 10,000:. serfs on their
lands, in their fortress. palaces and.
local. armies. The native church al-.
so fau'ored the ..share trade. Accept-
able 'gifts to the great—,even to the
present Emperor—might' be in this
"currency"! •
This- was the social 'order of 1,000
years. •It caused the social 'order of
Nations to hesitate before admitting
Ethiopia as a member state in 1923.
At times armed bands will set" out
for fresh "recruits," muttih as white
sportsmen go on safari for big game.
Lord Noel Buxton tells the method
of it: "These gentry shb•of up the
villages at night, when short shrift
is given to: the older folks and the
young of both sexes are carried off.
Caravans are , made up, and the cap-
ttives taken north, travelling in' the
dark to be sold in Abyssinia, or else
embarked foe Arabian markets."
On the cb'a.st a girl may be worth
3200; she will fetch twice as much in
Mecca er Medina. But an the Red
Sea, j3ritain's• Admiralty blocks "the
trade," It maintains there small
War sloops like the E'enzance and
Hastings, of 1,000 tones With four -
inch guns. These vessels carry ,sec-
ret "slaw' -trade" instructions." They
lie in wait for the Arab . sailing
-dhows full of captives; and, .once on
board the warships, these 'helpless
creatures become .free and pass into
t'se Sudan.
When Ethiopia's Own hot' lowland
"coverts'. have grewn thin, the slave'
chasers cross over into British' terri-
tory in , quest of prey—with camels,
cattle and ivory also seized as useful
side lines of a 'sudden settoop. It
costs •Kenya alone $.200,000 a year to
keep these .raiders at bay, and many
a fierce ;battle have the Zin'g's Afri-
can Rifles had with 'them.
On the whble, Ethiopia's domestic
serfs are fairly well treated; housed,
fed and clothed: and not overworked.
But in remoter parts, 40 or 50 days'
travel from. Ads•• Ababa, slaves em-
ployed oe the land oe, as castle re-
tainers are often flogged, branded or
chained for misconduct at a despotic
mas'ter's will.
.In all ca,s•es they are held as "pro-
perty" so long as they live; an own-
er should no sooner think of paying
a slave . for his or her labor than
he. would' pay a mule for plowing or
a cow for giving her milk. As a re-
sult, the "bondsman" mentality is a
blank where "mine -nor -thine'.' is con-
cerned. Slaves freed by the' present
Em'peror's edicts and courts leave tak-
en to robbery in an "innocent" way!
'Saki His Majesty to Lord Noe1
Buxton in 1932: "If I liberated them
ail with a stroke of my pen --as Pres-
id'en't Lincoln did in America-wtat
could these ,feeble folk do, bereft of
the masters who feed them? They
would take to the caravan trails as
shiftas (highway robbers). So we
must go •slowly with this reform."
'But the tumult of preparation a-
STAFFA
On Wednesday evening, Sept. 11
the Junior Ins'tit'ute entertained the
Junior Farmers at a weinex' and
Marshmallow roast held in Mr. Ken
Drake's 'bush. Over 50 of the young
people were in attendance and a
most enjby able time was spent by all.
gtainet itneasede war has duddlcened
the trace, and& that in untooked for.
ways. These slaves neer decamp
wholesale! No tonne of country can
inspire such' human "chattels." Then
.oaut' of the West,' "where their own
Nile bends hi a 300: -mile gorge to the
Sudan, conies mewls of at allizn'ing
Utopia. There (it is whispered), un-
der Britain's flag, they win be free
men aid women'!, It is not easy for
them to` grasp the full , mteaning of
this. But they do hear 'of Money be-
ing .giivn for work in the •Sudan's
cotton fields. Over there they may
come and go as they please without
fear of chains or the lash, of neck
yokels and hot branding irons..
So adventure begins to stir. Long
since, the bolder among them have
sped away into the unknown at all
hazards. At first these strays were
restored to their owners. Thus at
Moyale the British officer , in charge
—Captain Caehrane—found on his
hands a large horde of runaway
"stock." What was he to do with
them? tin's own resources in food
and shelter were limited bol his staff.
So he appealed to ,'Aron~ Galan, an
Ethiopian ruler over the border, who
was reipuuted, to be a kindly man. To
him Captain Oochrane returned • all
the fugitives. "They have," he
wrote to the chieftain,. "fled to us on
'acooumt of ill-treatment. Asyou are
aware, my Government would never
nand them/over if it meant a renewal
of the ,hell from which they have es-
caped."
Ato Gabru was also. warned 'that
"oast property" thus 'given back must
be well treated. Nothing miore'than
a just punishment for bolting 'off. No
miurtilaltion or, undue harshness. 0th
erwise—,"I can assure you that my
Gby'ernment will not in future con-
sider the return of' your refugees."
The officer aisked for a written, prom-
ise on this score. But Sir Sidney
Barton, the British Minister at Ad.
his Ababa, did not 'approve of - Cap-
tain 'Cochrane% action. Writing to
his Foreign. Office' chief, he feared:
"that the assurances given by Ato
Gaibru are worthless: And I am dis-
tressed to think of ,the •treatmefit to
which these unfortunate people have
doubtless been subjected on falling
again 'inch the power of their old op-
pressors . . You will not :that
some of the women have. abandoned
their families• and fled • again, into
British territory rather than face
what they know. most be their fate!"
It is no ei'onder, then, that the
cotton -growing 'Sudan has beeome
what Lady Simon calls "the Land of
Refuge." The westward flight grew
in vdlume while Sir Austen .Chember-
laiTn' was Foreign Minister. "Refugees
from Abyssinia," he says in an unof-
ficial letter, '"som'eitiimes appear in
the Rosieres, and Kurmu lc districts of
the Fung Province.' As a rule, they
come in twos and threes, Or else Sing-
ly. . But, there have been recent cas-
es when, 'larger 'groups of 100,.•or ev-
en 150, have crossed over into this
provint'e out of Aby.'sinia." •
Sir Austen goes on to tell of an-
other .sieve :stam•pede into the Kae-
sale- region. Isere new -transport fa-
ciliti'e's with plant breeding and cul-
ture .on the largest scale have result-
ed in buniper cotton crops ,of the
"sakel" type, which Lancashire's
'spindles can use without changing
machinery., , So the Foreign Minister
could report that: "173 slaves have
•escaped to Gedaref, a district head-
quarters 75 miles from the frontier.
These are `registered' cases' only; it
.is probable that other slaves have
reached the Sudan of whom no re-
cords 'exists."
But 'what of their wrathful own-
ers? .The polyglot archives of Down-
ing Street have no mofe curious mis-
sives than the 'pleas of Ethiopian
masters that their human ."goods"
be given back to them. Here is one:
'Let this reach the Officer at Ged-
etretf,' .
:May God open his eyes to justices,
• I's not your Government a Protec-
tor of the Poor and their Properties?
I inform you that all the slaves of
this Qualbtia region have run away,'
toSea'rds Gedaref. Soy we who have
libtle are left to mourn a heavy loss;
we cannot carry on without' our toil-
ers. Therefore, my soh goes to you
with this in order that you may help
bin, u
And ten times ten shall be the
thanks of your ,servant.
It was rtpproaching midnight and
the young man still hovered around
the doe. The stillness was suddenly
shattered by a loud crash upstairs.
"Gracious," said the timid swain,
"what was, that?"

"Lost property" claim of this kind
kind now fall thick, and fast in cot-
ton areas that spread by the hundred
thlpusand acres. One Eiihiopian lord,
in a curt note to "H. E. the ,Ii iipec-
tor of Fung and Rosiere:z, in the An-
glo-Egyptian Sudan," sa:d:
He who bears this to Y. E..is my
friepd, 'Kihojal!. His two slave -boys

these over to a grateful man.
AM further, Sir, a bondsman of
my o'w'n)—Khamis by name—has also
run 'off, With 'him went his mother
and sister: I own all three. You
may find them at the village of Wad'
Galbas •or else with the Sheik Nasir;

I hope you will call my slaves be-
fore Y. E. and ask why they ran a-
way from so pious a Master. The;,
deliver them bo the bearer, and write
to me.•
Needless to say, no, "delivery" is
made under 'Britain's flag. "In no
case," says the British Foreign Min-
isteir, "has any escaped slave been
sent back to A'bys'sinia."
To -clay they are well provided for.
"These peopter—ee Sir. Austen re-
marks in an unofficial letter which I
`have seen—"are given the option of
settling in various localities in the
