Economic System
Must Be Revised
'Hayakawa Says
A lasting peace can be secured
only through a broad structural re
vision which will make the con
sumer and not the producer central
in the economic system, S. I.
Hayakawa. Illinois Institute of
Technology professor and Chicago
Defender columnist, declared in an
address delivered Wednesday night
at a conference for teachers of the
social sciences in eecondary schools
and Junior colleges, held st the
University of Chicago.
‘ High prices, acarcity, monopoly
these are not the products of evil,
scheming men,” Professor Hayaka
wa said. "They do not reeult from
ill will, human cussedness, original
am, or shortsightedness. They are
implii * in the very structure of
tlje act of buying and selling.
Change the structure of the actua
tion in which people are. end you
change the people. Tha mechanics
of how to conduct business so that
neithtr party, sailer nor buyer,
cap take advantage of the other, re
mains to be discovered ”
War—trade war or armed war—
is Inevitable in a world dominated
by "producer-seller image," where
the law ia for each to take com
petitive advantage of the other, he
asserted, and continued:
"What ia needed in a situation
like this is not prayer or incanta
tion. but a large number of new in
ventions in social organization and
especially in distributes machin
ery." *

areas no discrimination is
present, as every one >e too busy
to think about it. They receive
news of the civilian world almost
as rapidly a.* do civilians and con
trary to popular belief, are not as
resentful of civilians as has been
thought. When asked what he
thought of the Army and what the
attitude of soldiers ia generally, he
replied: "We hate a job to do sod
are anxious to Amah it as quickly
as possible and come home. If things
are not always as we would have
them we try to make the best of
th»m a* they are."
Transportation Home
After he left hia unit, Sgt. Harri
son had to wait over a month for
transportation to thia country. The
whole unit having been overseas so
long, ia rather war-weary according
to his report, but the morale of the
whole unit has soared to great
height* with the beginning of the
operation of the rotation plan fur
lough*. Several fellowa, upon hear
ing that some of the boys were
coming home, said, "We enyy you.
but wa are glad for you. Your go
ing horns gives us hope of being
eble to go soon, also."
Anaerloea Red Cross
The American Red Cross end Spe
cial Sarvica division of th* Army has
spared nothing to make conditions
as livable es possible for our boys
over there. Sgt Harrison had the ■
highest praises for the manner in i
which the ARC impartislly aervices
the troopa. Other units in the are*
have cooperated with machinery or
whatever implements they have in
helping each other to build recrea
tional facilities. For example, the
engineer* stationed nearby brought
down equipment to help in clearing
th* land for a awimming pool, ten
nis courts, and baseball diamond
Other facilities provide for volley
bell, softball, basketball, ping-pong
and card end table gamea. There
is a very good library but "no fe
male companionship ia available,
and sometimes wa don't see a girl
for a year."
Stations at Which Served
Between hi* induction into the
Army in April, 1941 and hia leaving
the U. S, Sgt. Harriaon aerved at
Edgewood Arsenal. Md., and Ft Du-
Pont. Delaware. At the conclusion
of his furlough he will report to
Camp Butner, N. C. Immediately
before his departure from his over
seas post, a Red Cross hospital was
set up in the area, manned com
pletely by a colored staff of nurses
and doctors.
He has no other brothers in the
service.

ETHIOPIA TRADE
/
By GEORGE FAD.HORI
(D«f«n4«r U*4m CorrMHUnt)
LONDON.— Realizing that Africa
will be the most impotent con
tinent from the point of view of
post-war imp?riali«tle expansion,
Britain end Americe have dia
patched economic mission* to Abys
sinia to survey the possibilitiee of
trade and economic development In
the ancient African kingdom.
Because o /America's economic
superiority and use of lend-lease
supplies, it is generally believed in
London political circles that Uncle
Sam's agents now In Abyssinia will
get a lead over John Bull's repre
sentatives headed by Mr. R. Rowe,
the British minister in Addia
Ababa who has recently been re
called to London for diplomatic
talks with Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden.
Twelve American representatives,
headed by Mr. Fellows, met James
M. l andia, U. S. director of eco
nomic operation in the Middle East,
immediately on their arrival in Ad
dis Ababa and went into confer
ence.
British Menepely
Later, they called upon th# Em
peror in company with two leadinf
Ethiopian officials, the vice-minister
of foreign affairs, Ato Aklilou Abte
wold. and Ato Emmanuel Abraham,
director-general of the ministry of
foreign affairs.
The subject of the American mis
sion is to study th# economic let
up in Abyssinia, and to make re
ports Emperor on future in
dustrial, agricultural, stock-raising
and mining developments. At pres
ent the British have a stranglehold
on Abyssinia's imports and exporta
under the agreement which Selassie
signed shortly after his return
home. Dissatisfied with the terms
of the agreement, the Emperor has
informed Foreign Secretary Edtn
that he has no intention to renew
it. That’s why Eden has called home
Minister Howe to talk matters over.
Ethiopians in London say that
the Emperor expects good results
from th# American mission which
has long bean awaited. Abyasinlana
believe that the national econom”
will change in character from aeml
feudalistic forms of enonomy to real
capitalism under state control like
that instituted by the late Kernel
Pasha in Turkey after the end of
the Ottoman Empire.
