FRENCH SAY GERMANY
is GETTING TOO MUCH
Call Decision as Disastrous as

Paris, Oct. IL.
While the decision of the council Of
the League Of Nations on the frontier
settlement In Upper Silesia will reach
Premier BRAND, as president Of the
allied Supreme Council. tomorrow, 1t Is
not likely that the details of the recon-
mendations will be published before the
end of the week. in order to allow the
various allied military contingents to
take steps to prevent any disorders in
the congested Industrial area there.
All indications point to Poland receiv-
ing Tarnowitz and the rural areas sur
rounding Beuthen and the entire districts
of Konigshutte and Kattowitz, thus leav-
ing the city Of Beuthen and the districts
Of Gleiwitz and Hindenburg to the Ger
mans.
In French official circles such a solu-
tion is considered almost as disastrous
as giving the entire region to Germany.
as by it large part of the Upper
Silesian potential arsenal Is still held un-
der Berlin's control although subjected
to certain control by the leagues COM

NEW FRONTIER LINE
DRAWN FOR SILESIA
Conrnued from First Page.

The solution involves new frontier
line together with certain measures pro-
viding for guarantees against the dis
location of existing economic conditions.
The text of the decision will be pub
lished simultaneously at Paris, London.
Rome and Geneva as soon as notified
to the Berlin and Warsaw Governments.
A courier left for Paris tonight, con-
veying the document to M. BRAND, Pres
ident of the Supreme Council
A statement issued by the league to-
night says that the committee reached
the conclusion that a frontier drawn
either in accordance with the plebiscite
or economic conditions. without other
stipulation, was bound to have unfortu-
nate results.
The committee accordingly recon-
.mended a new frontier. together with
guarantee against the dislocation Of
existing economic conditions extending
over a period long enough to permit the
region to adapt itself as completely and
effectively as possible to the new eco
nomic situation. The committee also
requested experts to study general meas
ures. the application of which would
assure continuity of the economic life Of
Upper Silesia and reduce to minimum
the difficulties during the period of
change.
The economic stipulations formulated
by the experts provided for the applica-
ton over a fixed period. in some cases
extending to fifteen years, of a series of
arrangements respecting railroads and
water and electric supplies. as well as
| the suppression Of custom dues on nu-
merous articles. including wine and coal
| and the maintenance Of the German
mark as legal currency in the regions
ceded to Poland.
| The council recommends the adoption
of these plans, together with that OF
guarantee relative to political minorities.
| believing the latter to be an essential
| complement to the establishment OF
political frontier.
The statement concludes: cit Is In
this manner only that 1t is possible
to give the largest satisfaction to the
political aspirations Of the inhabitants
and insure at the same time the
economic prosperity of the. country"
At the close Of the session Of the
council viscount Ishii, the president,
said:
''The council has happily reached
the solution of one OF the most diff
fcult and complex questions; 1t has
fulfilled successfully, I am firmly con-
vinced, one of the most important mis-
sions with which 1t will ever be
charged.
ut is a decisive hour In the life of
| the League of Nations. The solution
| we have reached cannot fall to con-
| tribute In large measure to the main
| tenance Of the peace of Europe and
| the world"

LONDON, Oct 1.-THE board of d.
rectors of the Russia Asiatic Console
dated, Ltd, announced to-day that the
chairman of the company, Leslie
Urquhart, after five months negotia-
tions, has failed to reach an agree
ment with the Moscow Government
for the return of the company's prop
erty and working capital in the form
of a concession.
Mr.. Urquhart declares that so long
las the Communist party controls the
Soviet Government, the Third Inter
nationale. the Cheka (the Extraor-
binary Soviet Commission) and the
professional unions any agreement
with the Soviet may be rendered In
operative.
Accompanying the announcement was a
copy of letter which Mr.. Urquhart
had sent to Leonid Krassine, Soviet
Minister of Trade and Commerce, ex-
planning the impossibility of any deal
ings with the Soviet authorities and in
FORMING him that the company preferred
oxo remain claimants against Russia for
damages caused by the Soviet through
unlawful appropriation of properties and
working capital.
In his report Mr., Urqunart says he
awas continuously engaged for three
vweeiSs at Moscow with technical and
economic commission appointed by the
aSoviet and that the draft Of a conces-
Z aJon agreement was prepared, but one
of the clauses was impossible to agree
con. as it was stipulation by the Soviet
* that q contract must be made with the
professional workmens union.
"Ar kinds of controls and provisions
are made whereby liberty of action and
the decision of concessionaire are re-
etricted by the professional unions.
continues Mr.. Urquhart. "As result
there can be no finality to an agree
vment with a workman, even after the
terms Of his contract are absolutely full
Nfilled. The All Russian Council Of Pro-
rfessional Unions, supported by the
Cheka, is simply a political instrument
for forcing on Russian workers the ex-
treme principles of international COM
munism through the Governments
mechanism.
Instead of permitting worker and
employer to come together to settle
their differences amicably, as in the
se past, the contract with the All Russian
,.9 Council is intended to keep the employ
aers and workers apart and. by placing
the workers interests in the hands o
ftthe extremist members Of the commun
isl ist party, who. are at the head of the
- organization, perpetuates the present
p. stranglehold not only on industry and
. enterprise but on the whole working
ff and proletarian population of Russia"

tension of the original terms OF the

unwilling to bind themselves to discon-
tinue any activities not covered at thar
time. Since. however. many OF these
activities we're possible only through the
possession of arms, a stricter regard
for prohibition against carrying arms
by either side would meet all Govern
Elent requirements.
Actual outbursts or conflicts with the
Crown forces. however. are regarded as
less serious than the virtual ousting OF
the British authorities by the Sim Fein
courts and police. as the Crown forces
cannot. without breaking the truce, take
active measures against this policy on
the part of the Sim Fein. Under the

Collins Says Irish Still
Hold Up British Empire

r .ONDON, Oct. IL. - Michael
Collins, head of the Irish Re-
publican army and Sim Fein
Minister of Finance, in an inter-
view published in the Herald
(labor organ) is quoted as saying
he disliked London and wanted to
get out of it as soon as he could.
Replying to an inquiry as to
whether he was an optimist he
said: "Yes, l am an optomist. A
man would need to be an optimist
to hold up the British Empire.

we may have to do it again. 1t

Paris. Oct. 12. !
Sensational reports appearing In sew
eral Paris newspapers this morning that
King Alexander Of Serbia had decided
to abdicate In favor OF his elder brother.
George, who renounced the throne, met
with a prompt denial at the Serbian
Legation here, as well as by Premier
Pachitch. who came here to discuss with
the King the question Of his coronation.
1t was stated that Alexander intended
to return to Belgrade during the pres
ent month. despite the fact that many
rumors are current here that he is en-
amored with Paris life after his war
experiences, and also with young
French woman who would not be ac-
ceptable as Queen Of the Jugo-Slavs. 1t
Is likewise said that this friendship of
some time standing has been broken Off.
1t is known that not only George. but
his sister. Helene, favor an abdication.

VIENNA, Oct. IA serious situation
has arisen in Serbia over the question
Of the succession to the throne In the
event of Alexander's death. According
to information in well Informed quarters
here it is this that is causing Alexan-
ders delay in assuming his kingly
office. and keeping him in Paris. It is
understood that Alexander insists upon
his right to name his successor, while a
strong group, largely militaristic, has
rallied around Prince George.
A graver problem is said to underlie
the situation. Radical supporters of
Prince George are even advancing his
right to immediate accession to the
throne, as the elder heir and threaten
serious consequences should Alexander
return.
Another cause of King Alexander's de-
lay In Psris is reported to be the discov-
cry Of many Communist plots to assassi-
nate him should he attempt to return,
with the intention later Of establishing
q republic.

Special Cable to THE New York HnRAID.
New York Herald Bureau.
London, Oct. IL.
The conference OF experts over the
violations Of the Irish truce proceeded
SO smoothly to-day that they Will make
full report to the full conference when
I. convenes tomorrow.
About Irish headquarters here to-
night, however. there is no such cheer
ful attitude oBcially as has been mani
tested there hitherto. but there Is no
indication that they are contemplating
anything like a breakdown In the nego-
tiations.
The procedure for tomorrow still re-
mains unsettled. There are certain
elements in both camps believing 1t wise
to come Immediately to the most con-
troversial questions, and II break
comes to let It come quickly. The re-
spective heads. which probably will
prove the controlling factors. are. how
ever against such methods. They be-
lieve in feeling out all the details first
and then coming to discussion OF the
final, elemental questions. In the belief
that IL the details are once Strengthened
out. an agreement will be possible under
the broad, all embracing formula under
which the conference was callcd-to
find, IL possible. how Ireland can be
associated with the community OF ma
tions known as the British Empire"
Dodging Dangerous Terms.
Both sides deprecate reference to this
in any other terms than those In which
1t is couched. Such terms. for insta- ce.
as dominion home rule and sove 'cign
independence are effectively ban:sned
from the discussions. The formula, in
fact, amalgamates in sts terms two
I'ideas hitherto essentially repugnant-
namely, Irish nationhood and the Brit
ish Empire. It was authoritatively said
by both sides that each believes this
formula holds the salvation both seek,
and each will do everything to prevent
the wreck of the negotiations so long
as they proceed on these lines.
1t Is hence deduced that the frst
business of the conference is likely to
be an analysis of Mr.. Lloyd Georges six
points which were submitted to Eamon
de Valera, Sim Fein leader, and which
Mr.. de Valera and the Dali Eireann or
Irish Republican Parliament, rejected.
The discussion will try to hnd how
these six points can be made amenable
to both elements OF the conference
formula-Irish nationhood and the Brit
ish Empire. If once the conference Is
able to do that the final terms in which
the settlement will be couched are recog-
nized as q relatively easy task 1t may
involve an appeal to the Irish people
for a new mandate to the Sim Fein
Governments mandate which will per-
NIT them to give up explicit republican
ism in return for an amply guaranteed
nationhood.
