British Offer New
Treaty to Germans
Against Conquest
Continued from Page One

! Litvinov, foreign commisSar.
/ Drafted with the cooperation OF
the French government and eager
/ ly awaited in Moscow by Foreign
CommiSsar Maxim Litvinov as a
reply TO his suggestions for Brit
ish- Russian French mutual aSSiS-
tance pact, the new plan is a clever
piece of strategy designed to re-
move all objections that any ma
ton in the anti-aggreSsion front
might have to accept Russia as an
ally.
1t provides:
l. Russia would be bound to aid
an attacked nation only if Britain
and France aided it first. This
would appeace Soviet factions which
still think Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain is trying to maneuver
Russia into a war with Germany,
with Britain and France withdrawn
to the sidelineS.
2. Russia would agree to give
only such aid as was acceptable
TO the victim of aggression. This
would remove the fears of Rumania
and Poland that Soviet troops
would swarm into their countries,
use them as a battle-ground against
the Germans, and also refuse to
get out after the war.
3. The declaration would not
name the particular nations to be
defended, therefore it could apply
to any nation attacked and would
be much broader than original
British proposals to Moscow for
the joint defense of Poland and
Rumania.
4. Repeatedly, Britain and France
would refuse tc aid any attacked
nation unless 1t also accepted help
from Russia. Thus, in effect, the
three nations could act in concert
IN spite of any reluctance of an
attacked nation to accept Soviet
aid.
5. AS reported in Paris, there
also was a provision that Britain
and France would not guarantee
RuSsia's integrity in the Far East
because they still hoped to lure
Japan away from tn Berlin-Rome
axis, and it was said that this
provision had been accepted by
Moscow.

While Eastern's victory was the
more important and indicated an
other good team, the Central Ana
costa game at Anacostia was one
of the heart-breaking thrillers that
kept the boys and girls screaming
from start to finish as they wit
messed what may turn out to be the
best and most exciting contest of
the series.
Central won, 2O-19, with an almost
fiction finish. With only a minute
of the game left, the score was tied,
I'LL. Into this spot stepped little
Johnny Places of Anacostia, and
from his own foul line fired the ball
into the basket at the other end of
the court for what undoubtedly will
stand as the seasons record for dis
tance and accuracy. With less than
a minute to go, the 2-point lead
looked pretty, but Harry Martin of
Central somehow got under the
basket and pushed up snowbird
to make it 19-all.
With seconds only to 60, Perry
Seaman of Anacostia had the mis-
fortune to foul Archie Panago.
Standing on the foul line while a
roaring crowd of students shook the
building, Archie split the cords as
the final gun sounded.
The rest of the game was almost
as exciting. Anacostia used the
zone defense to good advantage and
in the second period held Central
scoreless, overcoming the Mount
Pleasanters' lead and forging ahead
at the half. 1875.
