SABOTAGE PLANNED
SESSION
SaCco.Vanzetti Executions
Declared Pretext for Start
of Campaign.

By Cable to The Star.
PARIS, August 27.-America has
probably received a false impression
Of the scope and significance of the
events in Paris following the Sacco'
Vanzetti execution 1t is highly i'm
portant the United States should real
ize just what the movement means.
The riots were only the prelude to
persistent agitation which will last
through September directed here by
the communist newspaper Humanite.
Long before the executions the
Communists, doubtless acting on Or
ders from Moscow, decided to give
the American Legion convention
taste of sabotage. The Boston execu
tions merely furnished convenient
supplementary pretext.
One incident clearly reveals what
is behind the movement. The des
ecration of the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier obviously had no relation te
the Sacco affair.
Radical Organ Disavows Thugs.
Among the 300 rioters arrested were
| so ex.convicts and even Humanite hao
to disavow the thugs who seized or
the demonstration as an opportunity
for pillage and destruction.
In a great capital like Paris the
criminal elements must be reckonet
with. In three instances the poilce
seemed singularly ineffective. Appar
entity they were completely uninformec
about the raid on Montmartre. while
they displayed needless brutality ir
the center of the city. Had the police
been more clever they could have
kept demonstrations broken into frag
ments and by maintaining contac'
with these fragments would have pre-
| vented hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars worth of damage as we'll as the
painful destruction of the tomb.
Let us hope that at least these
incidents will serve as lesson FOL
the police in preparing for the even
Qualities of September when the Amer
ican Legion will parade. 1t Is prac
tically certain that on that day the
| tactics Of the Communists will be tt

also shout, "Vivent Sacco-Vanzetti,
