Precedent Requires That He

Trip Home.

wAsHiNdroN. Sept. 1o.-Just as prec-
edent existed for the action OF the
United States in requesting Austria to
recall her Ambassador. DR.. Constantin
T Dumba. so precedent has marked out
the curse OF procedure to be followed
by the State Department In speeding the
parting guest.
When word has been received by DR..
Dumba that his Government has acceded
TO the request Of the United States hat
he be recalled, It will be the duty OF the
state Department to facilitate his de-
parture In every way. and to assure him
of an unmolested trip from the United
States and safe voyage home.
The Department will not only furnish
DR.. Dumba with passports II he de-
sires them but also with assurances
from the Entente Allies for the safe
conduct Of DIR. Dumba through their
lines to his home country or to some
neutral nation.

request for the Ambassadors recall and

on a summary dismissal OF the Am

recall DR.. Dumba would have received
his passports and safe conduct papers
with a emand that he leave at once.
According to the rules Of precedent.

there were contracts for the manufacture
