No Areas to Be Handed to Germany

anSwer-and a denial-that Russia
might hand over to Germany some
areas adjoining Rumania.
The statement regarding Finland
was made by Alexander Scherbakov,
secretary of the Moscow Commun-
ist party, at a mass meeting In
Lenin's honor at the Grand Opera
House. Any doubt that the state
ment was oficially approved SEEM
ed removed because it was made in
tie presence of Joseph Stain, Pre-
mier- Foreign Commissar Vizcheslav
Moltov and War CommisSar Kle-
menti Vorosl1ilov, among others.
Scherbakov denounced the for
eign press because, he said it was
melting a holy dream" Of inter-
vention. Such meters, he said, for
got the lessons Of 1918 to 1920. when
capitalist nations suffered "humil-
iating defeats" in Siberia, the Uk-
raine, the Black Sea area and at
Archangel in the far north.
Then the young Red army was
hungry and weaker than it Is now
Scherbakov said. Should they Gin
terventionists) dare. to intervene
now they will face a modern, power
full Red army supported by the en-
thusiastic multi-millions of Soviet
people"
Then he said that Russia was de-
termined to conclude the Finnish
war and "liberate the Finnish PED
pie from the imperialisa yoke"
The eelction announcement was
made in a brief communique by the
official TaSs News Agency.
It announced elections March "a
for deputies to the supreme Russian
Soviet or parliament of the "Volhy-
mia, Drogobych, Lwow, Rovno, STAN
islav and Tarnopol regions of the
Ukrainian Republic" and the Bye
loStok, Brest Vileika and Pinsk re-
gions Of the White Russian repub-
lie" Elections are to be held at the
same time, it was announced, fol-
deputies to the supreme Soviets OF
the UHainian and White Russian
republics.
The regions Of the Ukrainians Re-
public mentioned are in southeast
ern Poland, in exactly the territory
mentioned In some foreign reports
as those which might be handed to
Germany. Further. the territory was
mentioned as being an implicit part
Of the Russian Ukrainian republic
The White Rupssian areas mention
ed are farther north in occupied
Poland.
The army communique covering
yesterdays war operations said that
there was nothing Of Importance,
though there was general scout
activity and some artillery dueling.

Two-Thirds Vote Needed.
Congress, in voting on the Sum-
ners resolution, must pass it in each
house by two-thirds of those vot-
ing, with quorum present, and not
two-thirds of the entire member
ship. This requirement two thirds
vote applies to the vote on final
passage and not to amendments or
prior stages"
When Congress has acted, the
amendment is enrolled and signed
by the presiding officers of the two
houses. 1t is not presented to the
President for his approval, but filed
with the Secretary of State by the
Committee on Enrolled Bills. There
is a precedent for having the two
houses request the President to
transmit proposed amendments to
the States.

The proposed constitutional
amendment is not valid until it has
been ratified by the Legislatures of
three -fourths of the States.
Four State Legislatures will prob
ably be in session when or imme-
diately after Congress acts on the
