u. S. Policy
"Hands Off"
BY ROBERT G. NIXON

News SerVice.)

Fearful the German Czech crisis
may, before the summer is over,
again plunge all Europe into a
devastating war, the United States
has laid down a definite "hands
off" isolationiSt policy.
This policy. International News
Service learned today, has been
shaped in recent White House
conferences between President
Roosevelt and Secretary Of State
Hull, and is aimed at thoroughly
insulating the United States
against embodiment if a new
European war comes.
It is regarded as a complete
reversal of the line Of interna-
tional policy the President pro
jected last fall when he sought
to halt aggressive acts of the
fascist nations by marshaling
world opinion against them.
President Roosevelt called for a
"world quarantine" Of aggreSSors
but other major powers politely
ignored his bold bid for an en-
forced world peace and the BruS.
sells conference, summoned to take
action against Japan for invading
China, ended in dismal failure.

BERLIN, May Is ON.
Nazi Germany took the role Of
the injured party" today and In
structed its representative at
Prague to lodge a strong protest
against a number of alleged Dor.
der violations by CZechoSlovakian
military airplanes.
DR.. Ernst Eisenlohr, German
minister to Prague, was ordered
to approach the government o.
Premier Milan Hodza in connec'
ton with six specific instances
in which Czech planes were al
legged to have crossed the frontier
in violation of international
ethics.
HITLER PROTEST LIMITED
The protest conceded with re-
ports Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler
had sent another stern warning
to Prague against further violence
likely to involve the 100000 Sude-
ten Germans in Czechoslovakia
whose autonomy he is seeking.
Eisenlohr was instructed to
point out that Czech flights across
the border had caused great excite
ment and concern among the Ger
man population, especially in view
of Czech military concentration
across the frontier while it is
obvious that no military move
ments are being undertaken on
the Reich side of the frontier"
For this reason, it was asserted,
Czechoslovakian military prepare
lions before the public eye" were
branded as totally inexcusable."
VIOLENCE ASSAMED
Specifically, it was reported,
Hitler told Czechoslovakia that
the Reich would tolerate no repe.
tition Of the prediction violence
which resulted in the deaths OF
two pro-Nazi Sudeten party mem
bers on Saturday near the Czech
German border.
Adding to the turmoil, the
German press denounced Britain
for allegedly staging a war scare
and bluffing the world" by
attempting to play London'S
Legendary role as a savior OF
peace"
From Munich came further re-
ports that German troops are on
the move. According to one state
ment, 5000 Nazi reserves were
summoned to report for duty,
while other forces are said to have
been called up in various sections
Of Bavaria.
Belief spread here that any fur
ther incidents occur such as the
staying of two Germans at Eyer,
across the Czech frontier, Ger
many would "act."

ports from the 1888 flue-cured tobacco
crop are likely to be substantially
smaller than foreign sales from the
1887 crop, Federal farm officials said
today.
They estimated this seasons ex-
ports would reach 400,000,000 pounds
an amount said to be considerably
above the level of foreign consump-
ton. The AAA said many foreign buy
ers were stocking up, and consequent
ly probably would buy less tobacco
next year.
The AAA appealed to growers o1
flue-cured tobacco to reduce their
paintings this spring.
"The supply now appears" the AAA
said, "to be somewhat large, even ir
relation to the higher consumption
level of the last few years. Continued
production above consumption vii
mean prices Jess favorable than those
that have been received for the las
four crops"
The 1887 supply, including slrpluse
from previous years was estimates
at 1888, 100000 pounds, the largest or
record, and sufficient, officials $40
