SLAVERY RIFE IN
DARK CORNERS OF
ASIA AND AFRICA
WASHINGTON. D. C Persia,
land of Omar Khayyam and the
l!Acvck Throne, has abolished
4ave trading by act of the roajiU,
the Persian national asumiy. Ac
cording to a bulletltn from the
Washington. D. C, head quarters of
the National Geographic society,
this edict reveals that slavery is y't
rife In many Asiatic and African
countries.
. "Inland China with IU huge
population has perhaps the largest
number of slaves of any country.
the bulletin slates, "but Chinese
slave are seldom accorded the
iiarsb treatment once given the
African negro. In China the slaves,
moxtly girls, are 'adopted" when
very young, and are trained In the
cares of the household. Slavery is
"nominally abolished and very little
of It is apparent near the coat
but in some of the more Inaccess
ible parts slave marts do a thriv
ing buftinetgi. In such places the
foundling 'hospitals are
source
of gfr) slaves.
Slaves In Arabia
: The Arabs were historic slave
traders of the past but modern dis
approval has limited their trading.
There arc still slave In Arabia, but
the majority of them were born
Into bondage. They regard them
to Ives as better than the ordinary
tribettinen. Usually they are found
In the household of some emir or
tribal chff-f. well fed. welt pro
tected and loved by their maxtem.
"Slavery Is regarded In a vary
ing light In different parts of the
Arabian peninsula. In the great
desert dUtiict of Jebel. Hhammar
and Nejd any household of any
pretention has Its slaves. They are
reckoned In the wealth of a sheik
along with his horses and his cam
els. In the Hadramaut slaves fol
low the professions of their mas
ters and often rise to positions of
hon or and 'trust.
"Home slave trading is still car
ried on In Haa. now a province
irf the sultan of Nejd. Before the,
war the trade flourished there un-!
ilir Turkish rule and It Is dying j
out gradually. The many negroe-j
to be found In Hawa, Kowelt and
Oman, the Arabian province on
I he Persian gulf, are survivors of j
the days when the gulf sas filled
with boats bearing negroe brought
from Africa by the, Arab trader.
(Mare In Arabia may ride to any
IttitUh outpost and obtain their
freedom, but few avail themselves
of this privilege.
Ms very On the Ilnrhary Coa4
"Gone are the days when Mo
rocco, Tunis and Algiers were slave
marts, not only for negroes but for
fnlr-skinned Circassian and Geor
gian beauties. The famous slave
trade of the Barbary coast Is a
thing of the past. There are still
slaves, but the buying and selling
of human property Is frown 1
upon. In southern Morocco where
some trading yet exists, women are
favored ol th market. They are
more expensive because they are
usful In the household and ran at
tend the women of the harems.
Many boy slaves are given their
liberty when they grow up.
Hlaves may be bought on many
of the oases In the nonh African
desert. In Kufra. In the Libyan
desert, blacks are smuggled In
from Sudan and sold for boodly
sums. In the Hanaro n oases, the
Tuaregs practice slavery. These
Toaregs are an adventurous, war
like people, scornful of domesticity,
so they obtain staven from Ilanwt
land. In the southern Sahara, to do
their menial tasks. ISven here
slave raids and slave earn vans are
growing fewer. The Tuareg make
exacting masters but they allow
their slaves tha freedom of the
household and the serfs appear to
' enjoy their lot. .
Sudan Own a Market for Afrh-a
"Slave traffic for hundreds of
years centered In the area which Ik
now Anglo-Kgyptlan Sudan. It was
from here that the 'splendid Nu
bians of ancient times were pro
cured. Sudan also supplied the
plan t eunuchs, guardians of the
harem from time Immemorial.
Until recent years, Omdurman, a
large city of mud-built structures,
was the principal civic market an
the White Nile was the principal
slave route. Slavery Is disappear
ing In' the Sudan and H Is only In
remote parts that it still exists.
'In Egypt lves may aequtre
enfranchisement by asking for .It.
There are- not many slaves left In
the country and tradnlg has ceased
altogether. In households of the
wealthy slaves remain of their own
volition,
