transportation agencies e S l.
mated today that from 10000 to
$4,000 visitors will have arrived
in Washington by tonight, travel.
ing in special parties to spend
Easter in the capital.
There was no way of estimating
the number of others who will
come as individuals by train, bus,
plane or in their own cars. Great
ly increased travel was evident on
many of the highways approach
ing washington, particularly from
the North, and railroads and bus
companies reported running many
extra trains and buSseS to care for
the Easter crowds.
Average Size
On all sides, however, it was
agreed that the Easter crowds
this year will be about average,
or possibly a little smaller than
usual, owing to the circumstance
that the holiday comes earlier
than usual, and that the travel
peak will be reached about the
second or third week in April,
while the cherry blossoms are in
bloom.
National Park Service officials
have extended the visiting hours at
several local points of interest as
part of the program for the enter.
tainment of the Easter visitors to
the city. The Washington Monu-
ment, the Lincoln Memorial, Lin
coin Museum and the house where
Lincoln died will be open until 10
o'clock tonight, tomorrow and Mon
day night.
Although all Of the hotels re-
ported capacity crowds, and were
booked full weeks in advance for
the Easter weekend, there were no
reports OF inability anywhere
along the line to care for the ar
irving visitors. The Willard,
Raleigh, Annapolis, Lafayette,
Harrington, Grafton, Cairo, Am
baSsador and other downtown
hotels catering to the tourist and
transient trade we're getting the
bulk of the travellers, as usual.
E. H. ReickS, division passenger
agent for the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, reported that all arriv'
ing trains were carrying extra
equipment, and that second sec
tionS were trailing some of the
regularly scheduled trains. A few
extra trains were coming in from
the North. Several big parties
came in last night from the LIE
high Valley, Pennsylvania.
Most From North
Spokesman for the Capital Tran
sit Company, whose buses meet
most of the special parties arriv
ing, at the Union Station, said
from 1000 to $500 persons arrived
last night and that 5000 to 1000
were coming in today from every
where" Few seemed to be coming
from the South, where the weather
is warmer than in Washington
Most of the visitors, it was said
are from New York and Pennsyl
vania, with relatively small mum
ber of excursionists from Pitts
burgh, Chicago and Milwaukee
Greyhound bus officials esti
mated the number of tourists arriv
ing at from 5000 to 10000 as ar
outside figure. They we're running
many extra busses. The Grey
hound carries the heaviest trave
load of any of the bus companies
operating between Washington anc
other cities.
AS a concession to the visitors
most of the national Shrines anc
tourist centers will be kept open
with an extra force of guides or
hand, all through the weekend
including Sunday.

SUGAR PARLEY
MERE BLIND
FOR TRIP
Officials Say Study
OF Possible Arms
Limit Is Aim
3y ROBERT G. NIXON
CcopyriEht, 1887, by International
News Servico)

President Roosevelt's deep con-
cern over European political con-
ditions and the constantly increas-
ing armaments Of the major pow
ers has influenced him to send
Ambassador Norman Davis to Lon
don, it was said today by high
authority.
Davis, now en- route to England
on the liner Manhattan, ostensibly
is going to London as chairman
Of the American delegation to the
International Sugar Conference.
But this comparatively unim-
portant assignment is merely a
blind for a mission of far greater
import, International News Ser
vice was told.
Three Main Objectives
The high official said Davis
primary mission in Europe will be:
i. Obtain first hand knowl-
edge of the views of the foreign
offices of the major powers.
2. Try to "sell" European lead
ers the conviction that unless a
halt is called to arms expendi-
lures another major European
war or worldwide economic
catastrophe is inevitable within
another year or So"
8. Attend the meeting Of the
steering committee of the general
disarmament conference sched.
uled for May 5 at Geneva.
Both Roosevelt and Secretary Of
State Hull are represented as be-
lieving there is scant likelihood,
for the time being, that Europe
will stop its armaments race.
Reich and Italy Feared
The view is taken here that
Britain will not recede from its
7,500-million-dollar rearmament as
long as Italy threatens its "life-
line" in the Mediterranean, and
that France and Russia will con.
tinue to bolster their defenSes as
long as the Nazi threat persists.
Officials expect little will be ac-
complished at Geneva, where
the last meeting of the steering
committee broke up in pickering
in 1888 when Germany demanded
permission to build an army above
the Versailles treaty limit of 100,
900. France refused and Germany
walked out of the conference
Germany is not expected at the
forthcoming meeting. There is
doubt about Italy.
Dim Hope Pursued
Davis has been sent abroad In
the faint hope he may be able to
find some way to ward off a new
war from which the United States
would suffer heavily economically
If not otherwise.
The President would welcome a
plan to limit world ornaments and
assure peace, his friends declare,
but is adamant against any such
move while certain European
heads of state refuse to cooperate.
The Administrations attitude
on a world peace conference is that
If Europe wants one it must re-
adjust its point of view, wipe out
its hatreds, cease arming, open its
frontiers to trade, and make its
own peace.
This view was expressed by Sec
retary Hull in calling attention Of
visiting European statesmen to
the manner in which the 81 Amer
lean republics built a peace Struc.
ture for the Western Hemisphere
at the December conference at
BuenoS Aires.
