In December 1931; a detaclimei
of the Frontier Force paid a visit 1
towns above Cape Palmas. They fi
ed upon and looted both cdmmunith
and terrorized and assaulted men, \vi
men and children. The Goveinmei
claims the soldiers went down thei
tacked by the citizenry, but the vi
tims swear their taxes were alrea<
paid:?The truth of the matter j
that residents 01 the two towns gar
damaging testimony against'the Co
ernment in the slavery investigate
and were being punished fcr it. '
Just recently in i\Ionrovia I met tl
son of a chief, a slender, sad^fact
lad who was loudly bemoaning h
father's fate. Questioned, he explaii
ed that his father had been deportt
by the Government from" his tow
to a distant section of the re public. T
and several oher chiefs had told tl
International Commission what tht
' , knew about slavery and forced labo
WTien it was safe to strike back, tl
liftvernment had done so and the you,
man's father was one>of the first vie

BENNETT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN

from all over the earth Us speakers.
John R. Mott, presiding/ "Tbo 'audience

who were still in college,'he was
"wild" about the little speech that I

among colored women has only--recently
reached the place where special_women's
colleges can be supported.
Spelman "^minary" in Atlanta
was for" years not a college but has
now become one and is a part of the

Wfyen David D. Jcnes became president
of Bennett College about five

it as a school for both sexes
