To the Editor «hd Readers
of The Chronide:
May 20-25 has been set, apart as
“visiting week” by the woman’s woric
division of the WPA. S^ixmaors are
requested to give a public exixression
of attitude with respect to this ser
vice and invite all interested to visit
all projects during that peijod.-
We do not b^eve such>isita would
enable people to see a lot of fancy
sewing and patterns or styles that
might be calc^ted to attract atten
tion. We do not believe the visits
would give information that should
enable citizens to gain a fairly good
opinion as to what the sewing ^^oesns
are doing lind whether such service
justifies their existmee and (xmtinu-
atiofei.
The State Training School has, for
a comparatively long time, operated
two projects in this divisit^i—a sew
ing room in Clinton, and a mending
room at the Institution. This service
has been of much value and assist
ance to the Institution. Without it,
we would have been forced to em
ploy additional labor to handle work
necesiary to operate satisfactorily.

Washington, May 18. -Secretary of
State Hull said tonight fiiat ttw world

He- i^fpealed, however, to those
who believe in “international moral
ity” to “hold fast to die conviction
that law and morality will triumph
over the forces of lawlessness ai^
diaos."
Speaking before the American So
ciety of International Law, the secre
tary denounced nations using force
to achieve their ends. He mentkmed

sibly Sovi <t Russia, in mind when

“There has been a staggering mul

Consequently, he said, “we have ao

But he added that, “if mankind ji

however, it is provided that the basis

enough. Of course some one will ask
what is actual value, as distinguished
from sentimental value? In article
