Affairs of the Soviet Union, to Lou

commission Of the League of Ma
tlons, on Dec. 6, dealing with the
Soviet proposals for complete dis

day.
The letter deals first with the pre-
vious attempts of the Soviet gov

OF the disarmament question. Lit
vinov complains that the opening of
the next session of the disarmament
commission was made dependent on
the results of diplomatic negotia-
ton between certain states, the same
negotiations which caused the ad-
journmont of the last session.
"At ihe last session the delega-
ton of the Soviet Union demanded
open discussion of the disarmament
question and opposed shifting the
discussion into private diplomatic
negotiations between individual
states. The Soviet delegation ex-
pressed the opinion that this pro-
cedure would make impossible the
formation. of a generally satisfac-
tory basis for disarmament. The
states negotiating would attempt
to conclude agreements limiting
armaments of other states not par

French Communists in

PARIS, Dec. 14.-Andre Marty,
Communist deputy and leader of the
revolt of the sailors in the French
Black Sea Fleet in 1919, was SEN
fenced by the Seine military tribunal
today to a years in prison and fined
5000 francs for his open letter to
Marshall Foch.
The sentence was given after the
prosecution and the French general
staff has been completely discredited
by evidence brought by the defense.
In his. .open letter to Foch, Marty had
stated that the French intervention
against the Soviet Union in 1919
had failed because of the revolt of
the Black Sea Fleet and not. as
Focf stated in an interview with
the British paper Referee" be-
cause of orders Foch had received
not to "wipe out the Bolsheviki." In
the same letter, MARTY had also
stated that should the French and
British imperialists attack the So
Wet Union. as Foch had urged in
the same interview to the British
reporter, the soldiers and sailors
would again revolt and prevent any
attempt to overthrow the Soviet
Union.
The government Immediately in:
terpreted the letter as "inciting the
soldiers to disobedience" and brought
Marty to trial about a month ago.
At that time both Painleve, French
minister Of war, and Foch had de-
MED that the interview with the
British reporter had taken place.

The Wall Street bankers who own
Bolivia, and without whose consent
the Bolivian government could not
buy pop-gun, are, according to in
formation, the sources of which
cannot be disclosed, loaning money
to Bolivia for the purpose of pur-
chasing arms and ammunition to
make war on Paraguay.
Arms are being bought from Eu-
ropean countries, and a loan of
S5,000,0G0, recently negotiated, guar
antees payment therefor. The bank
ers responsible are the Dillon Read
Company, who have consolidated all
the Bolivian loans, both that of
1922, which gave the bankers their
present complete control, and a
later enc of $33,000,000.
