NEW YORK, June 5.—Abyssinia, the hermit nation of Africa, is the enigma of international _statesman- ship, according to the official report of the educational commission to Bast Africa, which is now being dis- tributed by the Phelps-Stokes fund. The one great native empire of the African _continent, Abyssinia has recently been admitted member of the League of Nations, although so little is known of it that the esti- mates of population range from 4,000,00 to 10,000,000. ““Unconquered, unknown and unde- veloped, Abyssinia is at once a coun- try of great material resources and of serfous and difficult problems,” the report continues. “The most unique element in the position of the empire is its independence of European con- trol. The remarkable agricultural possibilities, including almost half of the cultivatable soil of temperate cli- mates in East Africa, must inevitably respond to the demand of the world e necessities of life. The in- r facilities portation end travel will the ipation of thi 1t empire in the economic activities of civiliza tion Compels World Attention. ““The geographical position of Abys sinia in nor t Africa with Eure encircling its_territory, 1 Egypt close at hand, and restless India not far away, all add to the character of Abyssinian possibilities. “In the present awakening, of Africa, and especlally 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 Abyssnia but also East Africa and the nations whose peace end prosperity are involved, is how &nd 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 rivals of foreign agencies, ding another element of per- v in international relationships? Or shall it be by way of international co-operation and the encouragement of the Abyssinians to adopt the proc esses of development based on sound economics governme: cation related to the physical welfare, the mental capacities and the mora and religious needs of the people?” Menelik’s Family Rules.
