the Administration, made up of his

conceivable way to strike down the

This Is more than a deviation

Duty of Abstentatiop.
1T is. indeed, fundamental and
all-controlling, presenting to the
loyal members of such a party the
duty of abstention from its evil
courses and of applying such punish
ment and discipline as can only be
inflicted by the defeat of a party that
has so far forgotten its mission and
its duty.
THE American people can recover
from some of the wounds inflicted by
mistaken policies. They can recover
from almost any folly Of administra-
tion and government. The process
may involve years of anguish, suffer-
ing, impoverishment and setback.
such is the indomitable spirit of
Americans that if unhampered in the
exercise of their abilities and the ex-
ertion of their strength, recover they
will, but neither the United States nor
any country can recover from destruc-
ton, and destruction is the only pos
sible result which can attend the sub
verting and ruinous designs of the
present administration.
I'VE will, therefore. not support for
reelection candidates of the Phila-
delphia convention for President and
Vice President, and we call upon all
loyal and sincere Democrats to con-
slider the question of their duty to
the country in the approaching elec-
ton with the same earnestness that
has guided our deliberations-joining
with us if they feel that our conclu-
sions are sound and our anxiety for
the future of cur party and of our
country is justified.

CONCERT MARRIED
AGAIN BY PLANES

Conducted by Sylvan Levin
of Washington.

Several thousand music lovers
again we're disturbed while attending
a concert at the Water Gate last
evening by planes flying directly over
the orchestra and audience during
a number. Twice within Is minutes
the music was entirely drowned by
the motor and every one made un-
easy by the close proximity of the
plane.
1t was unfortunate last evening,
as the two offenSes were committed
during the playing of Tschaikowsky's
'Nutcracker Suite" first during the
Arabian dance and again in the
dance of the flutes. annoying not only

planned for Wednesday evening. Be-
cause of inclement weather both We'd

concert was postponed until last
night. Edwina EustiS, contralto, who
was scheduled for the Wednesday
evening program, was absent last
night, but the program otherwise was
as planned.

a lack of breadth which will develop

Of the orchestration as we'll as the
themes and marked rhythm. The
"Nutcracker" suite. that portion which
was not interrupted by airplanes, was
delicately played, and the largo from

contrast to the lighter music OF the
'Nutcracker." This was followed by

program closed with stirring per-

Thus both the basic economic

For variety of reasons, the
eyes of the rulers of Italy turned
toward Ethiopia. Here was the

Control of Ethiopia would fit in
nicely with other Italian colonies
in Africa. Ethiopia possesses GER

the exploitation of Ethiopia would
open up vast outlets for Italian
capital, and would create new

The idea that the Soviet Union by
some magic can remain aloof is
in complete disregard of historical
actuality. In the development of
the present crisis the traitorous
government of the Soviet Union
has throughout played the game
of the League of Nations. This
means necessarily that it has
throughout played the game of
British imperialism and the future
requirements of French imperial
ism. Litvinov acted at Geneva as
the stooge of Hoare and Laval.
az The United States is not
involved directly and Immediately
in the Ethiopian crisis to the ex-
tent of Great Britain, France, and
Italy. It is, Of course, to some ex-
tent involved even Immediately
as the tremendous increase in ex-
ports to Italy during the last year
and the Rickett concession affair
show. But the United States above
all is involved in the world imper-
ialist crisis. In the approaching
world struggle, the United States
will make its bid for domination
| in world imperialism. This in fact
is the determining and decisive fea-
ture of the approaching struggle.
Because of her geographical and
economic situation, the u. S. will
not enter at once into the armed
struggle. But, in the later stages,
when the other powers are to some
degree exhausted, she will nee
essarily launch out for world hege-
mony.

places to become frozen to depth
of more than five feet.
Temperatures were below zero
at the opening of the month and

after which a slow increase took
place. However, it was not until
the last day of the month that
temperatures increased to mark
