knowledge of Motive.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, Md, December 22.-
Rev. Gordon E. Jones, pastor OF the
Lansdowne M. E. Church at which un-
known men in an automobile fired a
fusillade of shots early Friday morning.
said tonight he would mention the
episode tomorrow in his sermon.
st am very sorry" he said. that such
a thing would happen here in Lans-
downe. and In our great State of
Maryland, and intend to say as much
in my sermon tomorrow.
"I also wish to state that 1 have
never, from the pulpit or otherwise,
dealt with personalities OF violatorS OF
the eighteenth amendment, but have
merely taken a stand with general law
enforcement, including of course, the
eighteenth amendment"
Halethorpe police, investigating the
shooting, said they expect to arrest one
or more men soon. With Rev Mr..
Jones, they are inclined to think the
shooting was not done by bootleggers.
A load Of shot struck between two OF
the church windows, making large
hole In the wooden frame and breaking
the corners of the windows. In the
walls of the church were found num-
ber of bullet holes.
On their second drive past the church
and the adjoining parsonage the men
fired another volley. One of the bullets
went through window of the pastor
home.
Rev. Mr.. Jones told police he heard
the shots but did not leave his bed, be-
ing unaware that they had been directed
at the church or his home.

PACT PUBLISHED
Articles of Treaty With
France Made Public

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-The new
Franco-American arbitration treaty
was made public today by the Senate
Foreign Relations committee.
The treaty carried four articles. The
first provided for investigation of any
disputes arising between the two
countries, wherein Ordinary diplom-
attic proceedings have failed" by the
permanent international commission
created by treaty of 1914. The second
article provided for submission of
more serious disputes to the Hague
for arbitration.
The third laid down the conditions
under which arbitration in the above
manner would not be invoked. The
exceptions were domestic questions,
ques ions involving a third party,
those touching upon the Monroe doc
trine and those involving Frances re-
lations to the League of Nations. The
final article provided for the method
of ratification.

PRAvDA HITS AT
REF0RMIST MEET
Points Out Failure of
Amsterdam Int'l

MOSCOW, Jan. 81 (By MaiD in
a leading article devoted to the ses-
sion of the executive committee of
the Amsterdam International, the
"Pravda" declares that the l. F. T. U.
is not merely unable to solve the i'm
portant problems facing the working
class movement, but is even unable
to solve its own organizational prob
lens.
"The Amsterdam leaders are trying
to save their own position and the
unity Of the International which has
been endangered by national contra
dictions, by an anti-Communist cam
paign on an international scale"
Pravda says. "They will however,
not be successful. The present crisis
of the Amsterdam International is no
temporary one, but the commence
ment of the unavoidable end"

'technicians boost of their rival re-
ceipts for the benefit of the electoral
gallery. 1t would be proof of an amaz-
ing naivete and a strange misunder-
standing of facts to imagine for an
instant that the discussion begun in
the French parliament will draw the
slightest angry rejoinder from the
Poincare cabinet. The National Union
represents the union of all the bour-
geois forces around the program of
the big bourgeoisie. Radicals and So
cialists are united in varying degrees.
Neither the one nor the other intend
to struggle against it effectually.
Nothing is so characteristic of the
grouping of political forces in France
than the two addresses which We're
made at the opening Of the financial
debate by the socialist Bedouce, on
one side, and by M. Francois-P oncet,
the representative of the Comite des
FORCES, on the other.
The socialist spokesman recon-
mended, as solution of the present
Oll1ISuiIlSo, d IISW Sl1OII vi Ine part
of those who have already saved the
struggling country" Conforming to
the program of Jouhaux, he demand
ed that certain control of the ma
tional economy be granted to the
workers. The recommendation of
the socialist delegate envisage a sort
of economic parliament where the la
Dor unions would collaborate with the
representatives. of big capital. Thus
ti.ey would be firmly bound to their
bosses and incorporated into the ma
chimes of the capitalist state.
This program does not differ es-
sentially from that developed by M.
F. Poncet, the spokesman of the Com
tie des FORCES. He also recommends
intensive production and class col
laboration. And he also solicits the
assistance of the most clear-sighted
elements among the workers to Sc
cure the naturalization of the pro-
ductive machinery of the bourgeoisie.

SIMON TRIES TO
BREAK BOYCOTT
Success of Indian Acts
Seen in Decision

LONDON, Feb. 8.-The widespread
strike movement in India and the in
classification of the boycott have
forced the British government to at
tempt a compromise" with elements
in India.
In the midst of an uproar, Premier
Baldwin yesterday read to the House
of Commons extracts from a letter
of Sir John Simon to the viceroy of
India, in which the head Of the Brit
ish Statutory Commission makes a
play for the support of the conserva-
tive elements among the leadership of
the Indian nationalist movement.
Simon proposes that all documents
and material prepared by the Indian
and local governments shall be sub
mitted not to the Statutory Commits
sion but to "joint free conference"
The conference, which will consist of
the British commissioners with Simon,
will be supplemented by an equal
number of Indians chosen by the In
dian legislature.
The new scheme of Sir John
Simon's is viewed as a direct attempt
to break the official boycott by the
Indian legislators who have refused
to gather or submit the documents
and materials" which the Commission
proposes TO investigate"
