Envoy Told to Press
For Immediate End
of 'Vituperation'
International News Services

Aroused over savage attacks
in the Hitler-controlled German
press on American persons and In
stitutions, Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull today instructed Ambas-
sador William E. Dodd, at Berlin
to make an emphatic protest to
the German government.
The protest followed publication
in Der Angriff, official German
organ, controlled by German prop
aganda Minister Goebbels of un-
printable attacks on American
womanhood growing out of the re-
cent incident in which Mayor
Fiorello La Guardia of New York
criticized Chancellor Adolf Hitler.
Strong Protest
Ambassador Dodd was instructed
to make diplomatic representations
in the strongest possible terms to
the German government to halt
these vituperative onslaughtS.
Secretary Hull expressed amaze
ment, at the vile language used in
the German press. A complete
transcript of articles appearing in
Der Angriff was cabled to the
State Department. Much Of the
language concerning La Guardia
was such as to be impossible Of
publication in the United States.
One Of the worst attacks was
an excoriation of American wonl-
anhood.
Attacks Continue
These attacks continued in ex-
tremely violent fashion after Sec
retary Hull expressed official re-
grets Of the national government
that Mayor La Guardia had criti-
.cized Hitler.
In expressing regret over the in
cident, Hull said the views Of
Mayor La Guardia were those Of
a private citizen and did not ex-
press the official views of the
United States Government. He
pointed out that the right of free
speech is one of the fundamental
institutions of the United States.

dor Dodd followed receipt of let
ter from Mrs. Stephen Wise, of
New York city, chairman Of the
women's section of the American
Jewish Conference. Mrs. Wise
protested the vituperative attacks
appearing in the German official
press.
The State Department withheld
text of the letter from Mrs. Wise
and Secretary Hull's reply.

BRITISH SAVING
OLD LANDMARKS
Notable Acquisitions Are Made by
Most Counties During the
Past Year.

Hardly week passes in Britain
without the announcement that some
new tract of countryside or building
Of special historic or beauty interest
has been preserved for the nation. says
the Christian Science Monitor Most
OF the counties in England, Scotland
and Wales made notable acquisitions
in the summer of 1897 to the areas
which they are saving from spoliation.
The National Trust for Scotland OBJ
tained another large stretch of the
magnificent Glencoe mountain coun-
try. 1t already held 5000 acres there.
The new area-the ancient Royal
Forest OF Dalness-consists of more
than 20 square miles Of deer forest and
mountain scenery. 1t includes the fa-
nous Buchaille Etive Range and such
we'll known climbs as Crowberry Ridge
and Church Door Buttress.
1t was acquired through the gen.
eroslty OF friends of the trust, members
OF the Scottish Mountaineering Club
and other climbing clubs. As it is
non-revenue producing, fund for its
endowment has been started.
Another example of preservation
this summer was in the Chiltern Hills
at Aston Clinton and Ivinghoe. Estates
commanding beautiful views over the
Vale Of Aylesbury were saved. The
County of Hertfordshire decided to
make an inventory of all existing vii
lage greens, so that the County Coun-
ell can consider action for their pres
ervation.
In the County of MiddleseX special
study has been made of the ancient
