Ihe Republican nominee Tor Pres
ident in 1910 should be prepledged
to one term, 'manifestly free of all
interests" but that of saving the
American Nation, Senator Arthur H.
Vandenberg of Michigan said today,
replying to G. o. P. leaders of his
State, who have urged him to be-
come candidate.
The Michigan Senator virtually
pledged himself to such a program
in the event of his being selected
by the Republican National Conven-
ton for the presidential nomination
After expressing his gratitude for
the confidence shown In him by
Michigan Republicans, Mr.. Vanden-
berg said that his present RESPONSE
bilities made 1t necessary for him to
announce that I shall be candidate
to succeed myself in the Senate"
He is up for reelection next year.
Then he added:
IF there are subsequent RESPONSE
bilities OF broader nature, I shall
meet them to the best of my ability"
Interpreted as Opening Door.
This was widely interpreted today
as meaning that the Michigan Sena-
tor would accept nomination and
that his friends were free to cam
paign for him. While Senator VAN
denberg said he would not pursue"
the nomination for himself, he con-
tinued: mo man, understanding its
difficulties and responsibilities,
should covet the presidency, and no
American should decline it If
chosen"
Senator Vandenbergs proposal
that the candidate of the Republican
party next year should pledge him.
self to a single term in the White
House aroused great interest, in view
OF the fact that many New Deal
Democrats are now urging President
Roosevelt to smash the American
tradition against third term for
President and seek reelection.
1t has been firm idea of Senator
Vandenberg that during the next
presidential term an administration
must take charge that will work
without regard to intense partisan
political interests, in order to obtain
the best results for the country. The
Senate, even if a Republican Presi-
dent and House be elected next year,
will remain in Democratic control. 1t
will be necessary to do business,
therefore, with a Democratic Senate.
The proposal that the next Re-
publican nominee pledge himself to
deal with national affairs in q non-
partisan way, while it may not ap-
peal to some of the hard-boiled, old
line Republicans, may have its ap-
peal to Democrats who believe the
New Deal administration has aban-
doned the principles of Thomas JEFF
ferson. What the anti-New Deal
Democrats do when they go to the
polls next year may be an important
factor in election results.
The "one term" idea frequently
has been advanced in the past. The
theory of it's supporters has been
that if the occupant of the White
House was not intent on getting
himself reelected for a second
term he could give a better admin
istration to the country; that per-
sonal politics would give way to
craftsmanship.

On Palestine Policy,

BY the Associated Press.
The State Department sent letters
to $50 members of Congress over
the week end telling them the
United States position toward Pales-
tine was unchanged by British
proposals to set up an Arab DOM
mated state there after 10 years.
The letters, in reply to queries
from Capitol Hill referred to the
statement Secretary Hull made last
October IA as giving the admin
stration's attitude.
Officials said it was clear from
the State Department letter that
the Government was not in a posi-
ton to insist that Palestine be
maintained as a national home for
the Jews and also that it was not
in position to make a formal
protest so long as American rights
specified in the 1924 convention
were protected. These are nom
discriminatory treatment in mat
tiers of commerce, non-impairment
OF vested property rights, the right
Of Americans to maintain educa-
tional, philanthropic and religious

Chairman ]. Warren Madden pre-
dicted today the National Labor

In answer to questions by Repre-

Il haven't the slightest doubt
that the board will make a change
in that direction, but as long as

The Wagner Labor Act permits

Moderate Arabs Accent
British Plan as Basis

JERUSALEM, May 29.-Despite
indications that followers of the
exiled anti-British Grand Mutt
would persist in opposition to Brit
ish rule in Palestine, an Arab group
led by Ragheb Bey Nashashibi to-
day decided to accept Britain's new
Holy Land policy as "a basis for
negotiation"
About $50 representatives of the
so-called Arab moderates met here
at Raghab Bey's home to consider
the British plan which envisages
ultimately an independent Pales-
tine with an Arab majority.
Five Arabs were killed, one
wounded and five captured in a
skirmish on the northern frontier
with British troops. Near Jaffa,
police sought slayers of four Arab
women and one man who were
killed by shots fired at close range.

ROME, May 20 (By RadiO Italy
wants a period of peace to con-
solidate her gains in Ethiopia, Spain
and Albania. She thinks she can
play a restraining role at Berlin
in the dramatic game of interna-
tional crisis.
This is the view of high Fascist
quarters qualified to speak for the
Italian dictatorship now that the
Italo- German alliance is balanced
by the Triple Entente of Great
Britain, France and Russia.
The Italians believe that renun-
citation of war over Danzig was
the price Germany paid for Rome's
adherence to the axis alliance and
they do not expect that either
Poland or France will take the
initiative which will lead to war.
They are willing to predict, there
fore, relatively long period Of
peace in Europe-"not six weeks or
six months" as . qualified spokes-
man said, but a period Of, say,
about two years."

OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Me-,
May 29-Only the North Atlantic's
rolling wastes knew the whereabouts
today of 24-year-old Thomas H.
Smith and the Baby Clipper" he
lifted from Old Orchards hard
packed sands in an unsanctioned
experimental fight to Europe.
Into yesterdays dawn the Los
Angeles birdman nosed his 670-
pound monoplane (Aeronca3 with
its 4-cylinder, 65-horsepower engine

plotted for a landfall at Slyne
Head, Ireland, nearly $500 miles
away, about noon today.
Fog and rain clamped low
ceiling over the first third of his
route. No word came of the tiny
ships passage over Newfoundland,
but at St. John, New Brunswick,
airport officials heard a plane they
thought might be Smiths.
160 Gallons of Gas.
The former transport pilot had
16O gallons of gasoline-he calcu-
lated it was enough to take him
5000 miles at cruising speed of
100 miles an hour-when he rose
from the beach at this ocean resort
at 3:47 am. E. S. TD yesterday.
Smith had the equipment to fly
blind, if necessary, but no radio. His
only means of communication con-
sisted of three canvas message bags
he hoped to drop to ships at sea.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Smith ex-
pressed themselves as amazed

father, lawyer.
Nor did the Civil Aeronautics Au-
thority, officials said at Washington,
adding they had given no permission
to the flight, which Smith said was
to demonstrate the practicability Of
long distance flying by light planes.
Associates estimated Smiths fuel
cost less than $50.
Charles Deland, Cincinnati, one OF
the associates who helped Smith
prepare secretly near here for the
flight, said weather reports indicated
good conditions over much of the
''great circle" course Smith was to
follow.

Chairman Pittman, Democrat, of
Nevada. said today he thought a
majority of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee would favor Sec
retary Hull's proposals for over
hauling the existing Neutrality Act.
Among other things, Secretary
Hull proposed Saturday that the
existing arms embargo provisions be
repealed and that American ships
be prohibited from travelling into
combat areas during wartime.
Criticism of Secretary Hull's pro-
posals also developed on Capitol
Hill, and many legislators expressed
belief that a Senate showdown on
neutrality legislation might be de-
ferred until next year.
Representative Bloom, Democrat,
of New York, has embodied Secre-
tary Hulls proposals in a bill, but
some members said that even if
the House passes it, prolonged Sem
ate debate would run the session too
far into the summer.
Senator Pittman said he thought
Secretary Hull's statement substan-
tally Endorsed his own measure to
eliminate the present arms embar
go. He said the Secretary, by max
ing his position known, had sub
stantially increased the prospect of
enacting neutrality legislation at
this session.
Veto Danger Denied.
Senator Pittman said members of
his committee wanted to know
whether any legislation approved
would be accepted by President
Roosevelt. He added that Secretary
Hulls statement had given assur-
ance that the Chief Executive
would not veto such a program as
that outlined by the State Depart
ment chief.
The biggest argument was over
the Secretary's foremost suggestion
repeal of the embargo on arms
shipments to warning nations. Sem

BERNARD HOLLAND IS
A BUTTE PRODUCT

Bernard Holland, candidate for
city treasurer, has witnessed the
growth of Butte from its infancy.
Not many people know that his folks
arrived here in the late SOS. Ber-
nard was born along about the time
the mines were being born and has
grown up with them. He was edu-
Gated at Central high school and is
graduated therefrom; from there he
continued his education in the Butte
Business College. He was later en-
ployed as timekeeper at the mines.
He now lives with his wife and
family at 535 North Franklin street.
These items are perhaps common
place enough. 1t is not that Mr..
Holland was reared in Butte or that
his family came to Butte in the early
days, many people can claim that
distinction, but very few can claim
the distinction of having the capti-
waiting personality, the sincere re-
gard to business details and the eff
cheney Of Mr.. Holland. He is the
Democratic candidate for the office
of city treasurer.
