British and French
Not in Agreement on
Methods in Upper Silesia

Oppeln. June Thy the Associated
Press From sources considered re-
liable it IS learned that General Lee
rond, head of the Inter-Allied Com
mission, has issued verbal instruc-
tons to the British, Italian and
French troops not to fire on Polish in
surgents unless first attacked. The
French here have proposed that all
available troops be distributed be-
tween the German and Polish fight
ing lines so as to allow the situation
to adjust itself. The French con-
tend that this procedure will result
in tue Germans and Poles finally agree
ing upon one of the lines of demarca-
ton already suggested.
British officials feel that this course
will be futile and an evasion of the
issue, and favor following a plan call
ing for an active effort for disarm-
ament and the rcestabIishmcn; of or
der in both the Polish and German
districts. The British impression is
that Mr.. Lloyd-Georgc wants an ap-
preciable effort >rdde to suppress the
insurrection and they feel equal TO
the task. but the French declare them
selves unwilling@to undertake it I'M
less they have ut least $4,000 men at
their disposal. There is talk Of pos
siblc Anglo-!talian cooperation with
out the French along these lines.
Unless the Polish workmen get a
square deal. Bolshevism is bound TO
sweep Upper Silesia." said Daniel
Desczyckci, the Polish consul general
at Oppem. The Poles now in con-
troll will hold that control and force
their former masters to give them
lair treatment or there will be Boil
Shevism"

ber of years in the United States.

er form, the provisions Of the con
stitution and the executive DEGREES
which have been formulated with
confiscatory purposes, make it oh
viously necessary that the PURPOSES
of Mexico should be definitely SET
forth.
Treaty Proposed
Accordingly this government has
proposed a treaty of amity and COM
merce with Mexico in which Mexico
will agree to safeguard the rights of
property which attached before the
constitution of 1917 was promulgated
The question, it will be observed, is
not one of a particular administra-
ton but of the agreement of the ma
ton in proper form which has be-
come necessary as an international
matter because of the provisions of
it's domestic legislation. If Mexico
does not contemplate a confscatory
policy. the government of, the United
States can conceive OF no possible
objection to the treaty.
THE proposed treaty also contains
the conventional stipulation as 10
commerce and reciprocal rights in
both countries 1t also provides for
the conclusion of convention for
the settlement of claims for losses
of life and property, which, of course.
means the prompt establishment of a
suitable claims commission in which
both countries would be represented,
in order to effect just settlement.
There is also a provision for a Just
settlement of boundary matters.
Being Considered
"rhe question of recognition is a
subordinate one, but there Will he no
difficulty as to this. for if General
Obreson is ready to negotiate
proper treaty is is drawn so as to be
negotiated with him and the making
of the treaty in proper form will ac
compljsh the recognition of the gov
eminent that makes it. In short
