off today because Washingtonians like

More than 800 bartenders will be
working today, but not as hard as on
other holidays. The off-sale liquor
stores will be open from 8 I'm. to mid

and Fairystone Park near Bassett.
Skaters, however, will be allowed on

condition prevails and publicity will
be given the fact.

HULL EXPLAINS
i. 5. VIEW ON
NATIONALS
International News Service

International News Service
A position vitality affecting
Americans in foreign lands has
been taken by the State Depart
ment as an outgrowth of the
Italo- Ethiopian conflict.
This position is, in effect, that
Americans who fail to heed warn
ings to leave foreign danger
zones cannot expect the protec-
ton Of Americas armed forces.
Hitherto one of the cardinal
points of American foreign policy
has been the protection Of Amer
lean lives abroad, by armed
forces if necessary.
Explained by Hull
The new stand is based on the
Administration theory that the
welfare Of the country as a whole
must not be jeopardized for the
benefit Of q few.
Adoption Of this stand by the
State Department was brought
to light in Secretary Of State
Cordell Hull's letter to the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, ex-
planning the measures taken to
protect American nationals in
Adds Ababa during the recent
reign Of terror there.
Given Ample Warning
He called attention to the EUR
gent warnings" given Americans
in Ethiopia to leave the country
before and after the outbreak Of
hostilities, and asserted no Amer
leans lives, except possibly the
small staff Of the American Le-
cation, would have been en-
dangered had these warnings been
needed. He said:

''The dispatch Of an Amer

mously adopted.
1t has been estimated that ap-
proximately 100000 annually is
solicited from residents Of Mont
gomery county for the Community
Chest and the county receives no
benefit in return. On the other
hand, Colonel Brown pointed out,
the local agency, the Social Service
League, supported by private con-
tribution, experiences difficulty in
raising $4,000 annually, all Of
which is expended in caring for

HE MUST. BEAT,
SAYSFARLEY

CHICAGO, May IL (U.S).-
Governor ALI M. Landon already
is IS good as nominated for the
Presidency, and the Democratic
national campaign is being out
lined, on that basis. Postmaster
General James A. Farley is re
ported to have confided to local
party chiefs last night.
The Cabinet member, in mis-
other capacity as chairman of the
Democratic national committee
stopped over in Chicago between
trains enroute to Devils Lake,
N. OAK, where he will address the
Democratic State convention to
day.
Talk To Be Keynote
His address, it is understood, Is
to be taken as the Democratic
keynote to be followed in all the
agrarian States. and is based on
the assumption that Landon's
nomin& on els q cinch."
The Democratic high command
at washington, 1t was reported, is
satisfied beyond all doubt that
the Kansas budget-balancer will
oppose Roosevelt in the November
election, and considered it of Su-
preme Importance to strike the
first blow in Landon territory at
once.
Accordingly the gage Of battle
between Roosevelt and Landon is
to be outlined to the North Da-
kota Democrats today.
Among the agriculturistS Of the
Midwest and the Coast States,
prosperity" is to be featured al
most exclusively.
Won't Discuss It
Farley would not discuss this
feature Of the campaign other
than to remark that his warriors
were prepared to "show up" Mr..
Landon when the time is ripe.
The only hurdle the Democratic
strategiSts consider at all bother
some is the writing Of the new
platform at Philadelphia, in view
of the reputation of the platform
and campaign pledges on which
Mr.. Roosevelt was elected in 1882.
Farley, however, said this was
not worrying him in the least.
His idea of how this issue should
be met was thus set forth:
President Roosevelt went
into office nine months after
the 1882 platform was written.
In that time completely new
conditions arose. What was he
supposed to 6O-call q new con-
ventiOn and ask for q new plat
fOrm?"
Claims Every State
Asked for q definite prediction
as to what States he felt conf
dent Roosevelt would carry: over
Landon, he replied:
81 am standing pat ON my
first prediction. That Is that
Roosevelt will carry every State
next November. The Maryland
primary vote means nothing.
I think most Of the $4,000 who
voted against the President
there did 50 as . compliment to
the late Governor Richie.
Roosevelt will carry Maryland
by .1OO, OOO."
Just what the Democratic high
command will decide to do in Wis
consiA and Minnesota, he said, is
still to be determined, and added:
''But in Nebraska we are for
Norris
The reporter asked:
'DO you believe Roosevelt
could carry Kansas over Lam
DOM"
He snapped back the reply
without blinking an eyelssh.
Certainly I do"
