STATESMEN AT
LEAGUE MEET
WANT ACTION
Reported Attitude of Soviet
Russia Inspires Fear of
Another War
MAY CALL SPECIAL MEET
Another Session of LOcarnO
Treaty Powers Said to
BE Probable


Statesmen attending the League of
Nations council meeting here are re-
ported increasingly convinced thai
the time has imperatively arrived to
take preventive steps to avert un
outbreak Of war in Europe. Fear Of /
such an evcntuality is mainly inspired
by the reported attitude of soviet
Russia following the breaking Of
diplomatic relations by Great Britain
and the assassination Of the soviet
minister to Poland. In southern Eur
ope another situation presents itself
through the break of relations be-
tween Jugo Slavia and Albania.
The Associated Press learns that
Germany has virtually been brought
over to the camp of those powers who
favor warning Russia against con-
tinuance Of her alleged propaganda
abroad and terrorism at home.
Nature Of Warming
If this warning is delivered jointly
by the powers, which is a possibility,
it will not be worded as Il menace 10
the soviet syste~' but will be drafted
from the viewpoint that Europe can
not risk another war and that the
powers are united in the sense that
any agressor is the enemy Of all.
Reports of a possible international
conference to consider the Russian
problem, with Soviet delegates in
vited to attend, are unconfirmcd, but
German spokesman said this morn
ing that another meeting Of the La
carno treaty powers between now and
the September session Of the league
assembly was within the range Of
probability, provided today's second
meeting Of the foreign ministers did
not attain a complete agreement. The
object Of this special meeting would
be another and more general review
Of the European political situation.
NEW TERROR IN RUSSIA
Is RUMORED IN LONDON
London, June 15.-tP)-Rumors Of
a new terror in Russia, with numer-
Gus summary executions, wholesale
arrests, drastic military preDara
tions, an impending declartion of
martial law and crowds Of foreign
crs fleeing from Moscow, are current
in London. They emanate from War
saw, Riga and other centers which
are notorously given to circulation
Of anti-soviet reports. and whether
they are based on facts could not be
substantiated from an independent
reliable source.
1t is said that strict censorship
imposed on all kilograms from Rus
sia accounts for the inability to con-
firm the sensational stories, which
tell, among other things, Of mass
executions in many parts of the
union Of soviet socialist republics,
including Vladivostok, the Caspian
region, the republics Of south Rus
sia and Moscow and Leningrad.
People Panic Stricken
The population Of Moscow is de-
scribed as panic stricken, with re-
servists being called to the colors.
According to Warsaw dispatch to
the Daily Mail, these preparations
are due to expected war with Po-
land"
Among other reports of alleged
terror is one from Helsingfors, Fin
land, which asserts that the Finnish
general Elvengren, one Of the ~
whose execution was announced of
! ficially at Moscow several days ago.
after the assassination at Warsaw OF
the Russian Envoy Noikoff, was ac
! tually put to death sometime ago,
| after undergoing series OF tor
lures, from which he became insane.
1t is impossible to obtain verifi-
cation of this and similar stories.
A dispatch from Riga to the Daily
Mail tells of the shooting at Moscow
Of % former officers Of the czar's
armies and says that more than 100
persons have been shot in reprisal
for the assassination of M. Voikoff.
