[TALIANS' ARMING ASSAILED BY CECIL British Advocate of Peace Holds Inconsistent At- titude Unjust. By the Associated Press. LONDON, May 16.—Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, attacking Premier Mus- solini for his Ethiopian policy, de- clared today Italy could not fairly| eriticize German re-armament if she| ignored her own League of Nations vows. | “It is impossible to claim respect for the collective system in the north and flout it in the south,” said Lord Cecil, who is president of the League of Na- tions Union. “Nor can a unilateral breach of part 5 of the treaty of Versailles (the military clauses) be justly con- demned unless equal sanctity is ad- mitted for part 1, which contains the covenant of the League.” Stresa Resolution Cited. Cecil directed Italy’s attention to the fact that Mussolini had adhered to the Stresa resolution supporting *“collective maintenance of peace within the framework of the League of Nations.” The circumstances of the Italo- Ethiopian situation, said the famous peace advocate, cause him to look “anxiously to the coming meeting of | the League Council.” | Lord Cecil delivered his attack soon | after the government called home Sir Eric Drummond, the British ambas- sador to Rome, to report on the out- come of recent Anglo-French over- tures for peaceful settlement of the East African dispute. Drummond will confer with Sir John Simon, foreign secretary, tomor- row. It is understood Simon will re- quest full explanation of the Italian attitude in view of Premier Musso- lini's warning to Britain and France that Italy is competent to deal with Ethiopia alone. Others to See Drummond. Other members of the cabinet who sre known to feel strongly over the | apparent loss of British prestige in| Rome also are expected to confer | with Drummond. It was indicated that Great Britain | 1s determined to continue her efforts to avert hostilities between Italy and the African kingdom in spite of I Duce’s warning that the other powers must not interfere with his projects | n East Africa. | The question of whether Great Brit- fan might close the Suez Canal and British ports to Italian warships and transports was receiving increased at- tention among Liberal and Labor po- | litical circles. | A high authority said, however, that no such move would be undertaken without previous consultation with the | League of Nations and the United States, Colonial Security Aim. In Rome, the authoritative Giornale DItalia declared that Ethiopia’s “in- capacity to comprehend and assim- {late the elementary values of civili-) zation” required that “there be given Fthiopian territory an organization | Wwhich will deprive it of the possi- bility of menacing any more neigh- boring colonies, above all, Italian in-| tefests, which have been attacked.”| (The “organization” to which the newspaper referred was interpreted in | diplomatic circles to mean either civil | or military control by Italy.)

Ludium Here’s a Gorgeous Wedding Ring WASHINGTON, D. C, Scabbard and | THURSDAY, WEATHER BRINGS BEGGAR INCREASE Chest Reports Many “Stop- overs” Who Spent Win- ter in South. - Coincident with the arrival of warm weather, an increasingly large num- ber of street beggars have appeared in the Capital city, a statement by the Community Chest said today. In ad- dition to the usual type that furtively aproaches passersby with a request for a “dime for a cup of coffee” a number of cripples are haunting the | Government offices. Many of these beggars are return- ing from their “season” down South, having spent the Winter in Florida or one of the other Southern resort States, and are “stopping over” in ‘Washington for the Spring season, in- tending to go on to the Northern re- sorts for the Summer. Many of them have a regular itinerary and work it regularly, making their appearance in Washington each Spring and Autumn. Government employes, who con- tribute to the support of the needy through the Community Chest, are justly indignant at being confronted, day after day, by these mendicants. They are complaining to the Com- munity Chest, asking that something be done about it, knowing that both governmental and private agencies for the care of the indigent are in op- eration, | “The only thing we can do is to warn the Government employes and others not tq give to these people,” Herbert L. Willett, jr., director of the Chest, said yesterday. “Both the Gov- ernment and private philanthropy | provide for the care of these people | in their various agencies. “Refuse to give to these people. Refer them to the Comnfunity Chest. | Those that are really in need of help | Valley Mineral Water will get it.” MAY 16, 1935. ATTACK ON LEE DRAWS REBUKE 0’Brien Criticizes G. A. R. Women for Opposing Ar- lington Statue. By the Associated Press. The Massachusetts Relief Corps, suxiliary of the Grand Army of the Republic, was criticized today by Rob- ert Lincoln O'Brien, chairman of the Federal Tariff Commission, for its protest against erection of a statue of “Robert E. Lee or any other traitor” in Arlington Cemetery. In a statement, O'Brien, s Massa- chusetts citizen, said he was “deeply humiliated that any of our people should appear as sponsors for the protest.” He added: “The fact is that Massachusetts holds Robert E. Lee in great admira- tion and regards him as one of the superb figures in all history.” Fish Answers Objectors.’ ‘The Relief Corps’ protest had been presented to the Senate yesterday. The protest immediately brought from Representative Fish, Republican, of New York, the comment that the statue idea originated in Massachu- setts. Fish is author of the measure to | erect an equestrian statue of the Con- | federate general at Arlington—the former Lee home, which was convert- | ed into a national cemetery after the Civil War.
