Those who, with premeditated
plan, thoughtlessly raise up the
crowd, exciting it to tumult, to Sc
'dition and to offenses against the
liberty of others, without a doubt
do not operate to mitigate the pow

the social Crisis is SC great at present
and SO dangerous for the future. as
to make it Necessary for each-and
especially he who has greater
goods-to put the common welfare
before private advantages and

Arabs Have Definite Plan
To Assist Volunteers

CAIRO, Dec. 20 LP).-Behind the
generalities of communique is
sued by the Arab states Wednesday
there is reported to be a definite
plan to aid the volunteer guerrilla
bands on which many Arabs rely
to create such havoc in Palestine
that the United Nations will back
down on partition.
The Wednesday communique, is
sued after a long conference of the
heads of the seven Arab states,
promised a fight to the finish
against the decision to split Pales-
tine into separate Jewish and Arab
states.
The volunteer bands will be COM
posed mainly of Palestinian Arabs.
but under the reported plan the
Arab governments would permit
volunteers to join them freely and
would help them get arms and
equipment. Between attacks on
Jewish settlements and conveys, the
guerrillas may be expected to pull
back into neighboring Syria for rest
and reftting.
Armies Still Guard Border.
Regular Arab armies, by plan,
will continue to guard the borders
of the Holy Land pending the Brit
ish withdrawal of troops. About
that time, another meeting of Arab
representatives from Egypt, Saudi
Arabia, Syria, Lebanon. Iraq, Trans
Jordan and Yemen probably will
be held to decide what to do next.

On Commodity Deals
QUESTIONABLE Goes Out
Following Disclosure Of
PouIey's Grain Operations
By John A. Giles

The Army, in the wake of the
Senate disclosure that Edwin w.
Pauley, special assistant to Sec
retary Royal, had held consider
able holdings in grain futures,
is in the process of questioning
some 10000 officers and $500
civilian employees as to their
operations in the commodity
markets.
A QUESTIONABLE has been sent to
all officers and all civilians earning
$4,000 or more in the continental
United States, it was learned today
The Navy said that so far no
commodity QUESTIONABLE had been
submitted to its personnel.
Questioned Also on Information.
The Army questionnaire asked not
only If the recipients had dealt in
futures themselves but also whether
or not they had given any informa-
ton concerning actual or planned
purchases or disposals of commod-
tiles by the Department..
Mr.. Pauley told the Senate Appro-
priations Committee he began dis
posing of his holdings at some loss
of profits when he became con-
nected with the Army. He said
further, in a statement this week,
he had never at any time in my
life used any Government position
or inside information not available
to the public for my financial gain"
Army officers and civilian person.
mel were asked to report on their
activities during the period from
July /, 1916, until the present date
The QUESTIONABLE said the state
ments were sought in accordance
with a request made by the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
You are being asked to answer
the questions because in the course
Of your official duties you may have
been connected directly or indirectly
with the purchase and disposal by
the Government of grain or other
commodities, or may have had ac-
cess to knowledge pertaining to such
transactions" it said.
The questions asked follow:

(Tert OF Marshall Speech on

Secretary of State Marshall
sees no hope for lasting peace.in
Europe until the Western Euro

He made this clear in radio re-
port to the Nation last night on
Russian Illustration of efforts to
speed German and Austrian peace
settlements at the London Confer

The Soviet government really did
not want to reach any settlement
because of hope that the European
Recovery Program would fail and
leave political vacuum in Western
Europe. Gen. Marshall said in effect.
Another very strong reason" for
failure to agree at London, he de-
clared. was Russian determination
to keep "stranglehold" on Eastern
Germany which makes that region
