Griggs of the English department discovered a long correspondence be- tween Clarkson, abolitionist leader in 19th century England, and Henry Christophe, then the Negro emperor of Haiti, he disclosed yesterday. According to Professor Griggs, these letters prove that Christophe was not merely the savage the civ- ilized world took him to be, but "an enlightened, noble-spirited leader of ,Negro peoples." He tried to educate his people and to institute better so- cial conditions and to elevate the sta- tus of the slave. The book, which is a study of the English abolitionist movement, de- manded that not only manuscripts contained in the British Museum be examined, but also those in the pos- session of private collections. The bbok may be of concern to American scholars because Clarkson endeavored to spread the doctrine of abolition in America after 1833 when England emancipated her serfs. In the future, Professor Griggs said, he hopes to write a treatment of the effects of slavery and abolition on literature.

Wheeler Gives Talk On German Confederation In Radio Address I Traces To Modern Conflict Austria Between Prussian States The dissolution of the German Confederation was the topic of a speech by Prof. Benjamin W. Wheel- er, of the history department, over the University Broadcasting Service yesterday. Portraying the breakup of the con- federation as the result of a conflict between Austria and Prussia, under the leadership of Bismark, Professor Wheeler traced the existence of today of "the little, German speaking, pov- erty stricken, strife torn Austrian republic" to the failure of "German- Prussia and German Austria to dis- cover a means of living together with- in the bonds of national union." The rivalry between the two prin- cipal members of the confederation, Professor Wheeler pointed out, was brought to a head in a dispute over two bits of territory which were tak- en from the king of Denmark. Although Bismarck maintained a policy of friendship to Austria, his policy of establishing Prussia's claim to a position as a first rate European power brought her into conflict with Foresters May Not Present Carnival The winter carnival sponsored by the Forestry Club, may be postponed this year, it was announced yesterday by Prof. Shirley Allen of the forestry school. The carnival, usually held on Washington's birthday, may be put off this year, Professor Allen said, due to the state of the weather. that country, whose control over the confederation he was disputing, Pro- fessor Wheeler continued. Estrangement was followed by war, the speaker said, and ended finally in the "foundation of the German Em- pire of 1871." "To establish the na- tional state it had been necessary to divide a people, and to bring to an unsuccessful conclusion a great ex- periment in federative organization."
