and Closer" the Pravda states t
Poland against attacking Lith-
uania was acting for the preser-
walton of peace.
Further Threats.
"The Soviet Union holds that
the disagreement between the
two countries must be settled
peacefully by Marshal Pilsudsh and
Lithuania," Pravda continues. "The
note of the Polish government doesn't
keep this means open and permits
the continued possibility of further
threats. 1t in no way diminishes the
fear caused by recent events.
$50 long as Poland's peaceful dec
larations are accompanied by armed
interference in Lithuania thru such
agents as Colonel Plechkaitis, so long
as the possibility of a repetition of
Zeligowsky's attack hangs over Lith-
uania and so long as the Polish tele-
graph agency disseminates provoca-
tive rumors of uprisings, the Polish
governments note will not have the
calming influence which it claims to
have"
Constant Danger.
Referring to the technical state OF
war existing between Poland and
Lithuania, the Pravda says, "The
juridical proclamation of a state of
war without action makes for insta-
bility in the relations between ma
tions and makes for constant danger.
No one advises Lithuania to continue
to hold this position, but if she aban-
doned it she would not settle the issue
any more than the fact that the Soviet
Union refuses to declare state of
war over the Rumanian annexation
of Bessarabia, means that the Soviet
Union accepts or recognizes it"
Complete Disarmament
GENEVA, Nov. 29.-Wnen dele
gates from 26 countries meet for the
fourth session of the preparatory dis
armament conference tomorrow, the
Soviet delegation will undertake to
shift the discussion of security to
the proposition of complete and i'm
mediate disarmament.
Altho the Lithuanian dispute
is scheduled to come up at a meeting
of the Council of the League of
Nations December 5th, it is SAID that
the Soviet delegation, headed by
Maxim Litvinoff, is certain to refer
to it at the conference. The presence
of Marshal Pilsudski of Poland and
Premier Waldemaras of Lithuania
will very likely bring the question
before the disarmament conference
whether or not the powers wish to
face it.
A new Geneva newspaper, The AS
sault, suspected of being backed by
prominent British capitalists, con-
tains vicious attack on the Soviet
Union and asserts that members of
the staff of the League Secretariat
have been associating with the Soviet
delegation.

League of Nations which was forced

Angry exchanges took place be-
tween Waldemaras and President
Smetona, the former declaring:
The present government is not de.
pendent for it's support upon political
parties, but relies upon the army
which brought it into power"
Josef Washington Hall. author and
lecturer, claims that the Japanesa
delegation is likely to align itself
with Germany in supporting the
Soviet disarmament proposals at the
Geneva conference.

posed trip to Moscow as of great
significance.
