1. Soviet Russia, throujrh one of its highest government authorities, has adopted an attitude toward tht Baltic States suKgestive ot the protection exercised by the United States over South American countries through Monroe doctrine. Poland's recent policy of per.e-jiration in the Panic countries and iher alleged imperialistic de-sign in other directions prompted the sov- iet foreign office yesteraay to ex- plain Russia's attitude as regards Polish domination ia the Baltic Stat ess. Poland's attempt to supremacy in Lithuania, Ksthonia, Latvia, and Finland to Russia's vital interests and a direct thr. at to her frontiers and maritime boundaries, the Government spokesman said.

"IVe will nver suffer the Raltic countries to come under the domination of any stronger power," he said, "whether it Poland, France or Kngland. It would mean that the Baltic countries would immediately lose their independence." When asked whether the soviet government was prepared to offer any new terms to the American Government looking toward recog nition, the spokesman said that Jtu sia was ready to send a special commission to Washington to discuss the compensation for American compunh-s and individuals whose property in Russia was nationalized by the Bolshevists but only upon the assurance that such commission would be welcome. The Government, he said, did not desire the commission to meet with a rebuff as did M. Sokoinikov who wished to go to the United States in behalf of the Xdussian B'ate Bank. He declared that the soviet government had expressed its willingness repeatedly to arrive at an amicable adjustment of America's claims as a preliminary to recognition, but such offers had fallen on unresponsive ears.

1. The commission at work on plans for the reorganization of the League of Nations Council today rejected Spain demand for a permanent seat in the council. There was no roilcall.

After a six-hour discussion yes-torday. the subcommittee of tli commission charged with examining into the reorganization of the League Council adopted Lord Cecil's scheme with slight modifications. This is calculated to give Spain and Poland semi-permanent sent in the Council, of which the tenure is three years.

French Political Crisis. All of this attention despite the fact that France is in the midst of a most important Government crisis, necessitating the calling of the General Assembly at Versailles.

This is the first time since 1KS8 that this Assembly has been called together for any other purpose than the regular election of the President. Observers say that the session itself was relatively unimportant except as an agency of impressing on the French nation the- seriousness of the- financial situation as a forerunner of the debt settlement. the available political talent in the country has been marshalled in the present Cabinet; there are five ex-Premiers. They arc- assuming boldly the responsibility of re-establishing national credit and stabilizing the franc, but their success is not assured. However, no Frenchman is so trusted by the people as I'oincare.

He declines for two reasons: First, the masses ask "Why accept it without reservations? We sacrificed in the- Versailles Treaty only to have reject the whoh- thing?" Secondly, no Premier in France is safe from the attacks of the Socialists and Communists. The latter have-been particularly a factor sine- the elections, when the Soviet is said to have been an active factor. Kve-n at that, the situation is by no means hopeless. However weak 1 France in her economic staftis is fur from poor. This could be true only in a self-sufficient country.

The franc is really worth more at home than abroad, for France is essentially a farming nation producing its own necessaries of life. As long as the harvest is as it is this season no importing is required and the rate of exchange is of h-ss importance than it would he otherwise. Living costs, while rising with the decline- of the franc, are not on a par with the ratio of ex-charge. There is practically no cnemplnymen. while 4 5.000 touring Americans are buying and spending francs every day.

Correspondence of the Post-IMspatoh and the Chicago Daily Xcns. ccoryritht. 1926.) LISBON, Aug. 2u. intense interest has been aroused throughout Southern Europe in the forthcoming trial of 20 persons involved in the forgery plot originated by four men who planned to buy with forged notes actual control of Portugal's African colony of Angola.

The disclosure of the plot and the arrest of those involved constitutes a strange- tale of intrigue by men intrusted with high public office. The story of the fraud goes back to the spring of 1924, when Artur Virgilio AIves-Reis, an adventurer, formed a company with three comrades, Jose dos Santos Bandiera, a Dutchman named Karel Marang and a naturalized Brazilian of Swiss origin named Adolph These- four, with the help of several Government officials, formed a company with the announced intention of making a large loan to the high commissioner of Angola.

who acted as chief lieutenant under Alves-Reis, then approached his brother. Br. Antonio des Santos Bandiera, Portuguese Minister to Holland. From his relative Bandiera secured a diplomatic passport and an official doeume-it. which he used for 'he purpose of introducing himself to the directors of a well-known bank-note manufacturing concern in London.

Waterlow Co. He ordered the firm to print 580,000 notes of 500 escudos (roughly J25 eachR or a total of approximately $14,000,000. The manufacturers agreed to proceed with the order only after they received the necessary authorization from the governor of the Bank of Portugal. This authorization was cleverly forged, and in due course the London engravers began delivering the notes. By ascertaining the dates of delivery, the conspirators intercepted the shipments cf currency and secreted the boxes in the home of Count Planas Saurez.

then Venezuelan Minister to Portugal and entitled to many diplomatic privileges and exemptions. Bank Circulated Notes. From time to time a package of the notes would be put into use through the newly founded Angola Bank, which grew with amazing rapidity from an institution with no assets to one with a capital of more than $5,000,000. Although the governments had been falling every few weekj there were some officials serving under Br. Doniin-gos I'ereira, who in office long enough to become suspicious of the Angola Bank.

They ordered an investigation, and after a few weeks it was known that the entire capital of the organization was based upon the forged notes by that time circulating freely throughout the country. It was p.lso d'scovered that JoseEandiera i many peasants, invested their "old age fund" in French securities, now worth about one-ninth of par value. As to reparations the French hope grows that the whole situation will be reopened. Marke ts, markets, markets is the cry of Europe as the only avenue to a restoration of its finances. So far.

liussia seems to be the most promising new market on the horizon. In the meantime the Frenchman goes about his day's work with a cheerfulness that is puzzling. Over all, the bellicose sentiment freely expressed on all sides, is an indication that the World War did not lay for ail times her most dangerous political foe. For how many years is the only question, unfortunately, for the possibility of another conflict is little questioned. In fact the age-old racial likes and dislike the national grudge and hatreds of the continent seem to be Curious About Irohibit ion.

Further inquiry revealed the true intentions of the quartet.

The company they had formed originally to lend, money to the high commissioner of Angola was in reality intended to obtain possession of large tracts of territory in Angola. By using the forged notes the land was to be purchased and then gradually the company was to seek control of the Portuguese Colonial Bank and finally the Bank of Portugal itself. Had all gone well the conspirators and their immediate friends would have owned a rich colony and would have had complete control of Portuguese finance. DiM-overy of the Fraud. The discovery of the fraud was made toward the end of 1925.

At that time Alges-Reis, the ring leader, was in Angola surveying the country that he believed already to be his. He returned to Lisbon a few weeks later, and as he stepped from the train he was placed under arrest. Consternation seized upon the people as one arrest followed another. Some thought the plot was hatched by Bolshevists with the idea of causing a red revolution, but that idea quickly disappeared when it was proved by captured correspondence that one of the big four, the Brazilian Hennies. was in the pay of German interests and had planned to secure the right to expioint Angola commercially for those interests.

Following the arrest of Alves-Reis his home in Lisbon was searched, and furs and jewels to a value of more than $1000,000 were discovered in the rooms occupied ry Mme. Maria Luisa AIves-Reis. She was placed under arrest, charged grafted on several years ago when the blight destroyed the French In Belgium the St. Louisans encountered a light wine and beer country.
