Mi querido G inolvidable ito:
Su amable del 10 del pasado.
No sc como agradecerle Sc moles-
tie en- escribirme; hagalo seguido

cados por entero. TODD 10 que pu-
diera interesar a listed me afecta
profundamente; debo ltener mil

en- mi casa tenemos mi mujer, mis-
hijos y yo un altar para listed, a
quien debemos ell pan que come
mos todos los dias.
Mi comadre Micaelita ID tu-
vo que salir violentamente para
Mexico. LIE escribio mi compadre
Tonchi (2) diciendole que la Sc
cretaria de Relaciones lie habia or
denado marchara del Consulate
de San Diego, Calf, al de Salt
Lake City, Utah, y que tai cambio
lie perjudicaba mucho. Mi compa-
DIRE Sc desesper6 Y marcho a Me-
xico para hablar personalmente
con ell senior Lie. Aaron Saenz, y
me escribe mi compadre que ell
referido licenciado lie dijo que sa-
bia que Antonio iba frecuente-
mente a la frontera y que Sc la
'ponfa'; que guerra aleiarlo del
peligro; que procuraria. Ell ultimo
extreme, mandarlo al Consulate
de San Francisco. Por encargo
de mi comadre hoy lie escribo a
Antonio y lie doy una 'llamada'.
Quiza fuera bueno ne listed lie
dijera algo tambien. Mi pobre
comadre es victima de esos mu-
chachos que no quieren enmen-
dar la plana; y para ayuda de ma
les, ahi esta Lucrecia que POGO

tantly forced to admit that their gov
ernmentS, despite the long practice OF
reading between the lines, had come
to the conclusion that America had
given up the Kellogg pact.
To Mr.. Hull, his reply to SelaSsie's s
appeal of July 4 had been clear
America was interested in a peaceful
settlement of all disputes-he had
said 1t in the note-and that could
be interpreted only in one way; that
we stand unflinchingly by the Kellogg
pact.
1t ,Uas just too bad the general
public and the foreigners could not
understand the Secretary's clear
language The meaning OF the
note 1Uas only too evident to the
State Department officials pho had
help draft Mr.. HulPS anSuer.
When the Secretary of State real
lied the lack of perspicacity of those
who should have understood the plain
language of his reply to Selassie, he
decided to reiterate officially the fact
that we still believe and will continue
to believe in the Kellogg pact as the
principal instrument for averting wars
in the future.
This might, of course, cause new in
terpretations and comments abroad.
In such an eventuality many we'll
wishers and admirers of Mr.. Hull
hope that he will revert to the old
fashioned way Of American diplomacy,
which was to call a spade a spade.

HULL ON VACATION
|NNEARBYV|RG|N|A
Maintains Contact With Of
flee for News on Ethio.
plan Crisis.
By the Associated Press.

N--~ -~NNNoASNNN
After clarifying the United States
policy with regard to the threatening
war clouds in Africa by emphasizing
American interest in the worldwide
preservation of peace, Secretary Hull
left yesterday for brief vacation in
nearby Virginia.
While no immediate developments
aHect1ng the United States were ex-
pected in the Italo-Ethiopian dispute,
it was made plain at the State De-
partment that Secretary Hull would
be in close touch with his Office at all
times for decision on any subject of
interest to this Government.
While it was expected he will spend
some time at Hot Springs, officials
said his plans were indefinite and he
might motor TO several nearby places.
William Phillips, Undersecetary,
will be Acting Secretary of State dur
ing Hull's absence.
State Department officials said they
had no knowledge of the enlistment
of any American citizens in either the
Italian or Ethiopian armies.
Dispatches from Rome. Adds Ababa
and Paris recently had reported that
Americans, especially aviators, plan
ned to join the armies of those tw'
nations.
American law, officials said, pro-
hibits American citizens in this coun-
try from enlisting in the armed
forces of any other nation.

COMMUNIST TWICE
BEFORE COMMITTEE
Herbert Benjamin, 0usted by
House Group Four Months Ago,
Milder in Testimony.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A Communist who was almost
bodily carried out of a House Ways
and Means Committee hearing four
months ago testified before the same
group yesterday-and all was peace
full and quiet.
He was Herbert Benjamin, repre-
senting the National Joint Action
Committee for Genuine Social In
surance." Four months ago he
criticized the social security bill.
Then, he shouted so loudly and per-
sistently that two policemen helped
him out of the committee room.
Yesterday his voice was so low that
committeeman had to ask him to raise
it. He described the Presidents
wealth tax plan as unsatisfactory"
because, among other things, it
wouldn't pay unemployment insur:
ance, the bonus and adequate relief
to farmers"
"The plan amounts to only polite
little nibble at the great fortunes
in the hands of a few" he said,
advocating a 100 per cent tax on all
inheritances.
