There were approxim- ately 2,000 workers in the streets. For about three-quarters of an hour the police were helpless. During the demonstration several spceches were made. On Tuesday afternoon and evening a number of prohibited de- monstrations of protest against the Berlin happenings took place in the North Western Bohemian coal-min- ing district.

'TurkestanWomen Drop Veil, Symbol of Slavery Under Czarist Regime For centuries the women of what. was formerly Russian Turkestan ed under a dual despotism, There was the feudal economic slavery and the thralldom of centuries of re- ligious superstition. The harem ex- ists to this day although of late, due to pressure, it is being pushed out of the scheme of things. In past in Central Asia women were held in less esteem than valuable beasts of burden. Today all this changed. The Soviet govern- mt has sent armies of c7ucators nd agitators into Asiatic Russia to combat the degrading customs which prevailed there before the Revolu- tion. The modern Russian concept of equal rights for both sexes is rapidly gaining ground.

As the parliaments of Chile and Peru are entirely sub- servient to the dictators, Ibanez and Leguai, there seems no doubt that the agreement will be ratified. The settlement between Chile and Peru leaves the door open to a fu- ture arrangement with Bolivia, giv- ing it an access to the Pacific. Terms of Settlement. The principal terms of the settle- ment are as follows: Africa with its port and railway to the capital of Bolivia, La Paz, remains Chilean. The district of Tacna is given to Peru. Tacna is an inland town and though that district has a sea eoast | almost as ‘long as that of the pro- vince of Arica, it has no ports. The boundary between Peru and Chile will be ten kilometers north of and parallel to the Arica-La Paz railway. The sulphur deposits of Tacora in| this district shall remain in Chilean | territory while the canals of Uchv- | suma and Hauri shall remain the property of Peru. The demarcation of the frontier shall be decided by a person designated by the president of the United States. Chile will grant to Peru, within 1575 meters! | of the Bay of Arica, a wharf, a cus- tom house and a station for the rail- way from Tacna to Arica “where Peru shall enjoy independence with- in the most ample free port.” All these works shall be constructed by the Chilean government. Chile will pay to Peru $6,000,000 and deliver to Peru without cost all the public} works already tonstructed, with all government property, in the depart- ment of Tacna. Leave Opening for Bolivia. It has been known for some time | that the pending settlement would follow these general lines. Never- theless, publication of the exact terms has been postponed several times. Upon one occasion Bolivia protested that the proposed settle- ment contained a clause forbidding either country to make any further disposition of the territories re- | spectively received by each. This provision, ‘ich would have pre-| vented Bolivia from ever receiving | its desired access to the Pacific, does not appear in the final draft, and there is evidence that its removal} was accomplished by the United States.

Mussolini’s puppet par- liment ratified the treaty last week. can Secretary of State explained that the United States took this attitude expressly for the purpose of afford- ing Bolivia an opportunity to receive an outlet to the Pacific Ocean. It is expected tHat this will be the sub- ject of negotiation between Peru and Bolivia. Several years ago it was ‘rumored that the United States favored a settlement whereby Bolivia should be permitted to purchase an outlet to the sea, the purchase to be financed by a Bolivian loan in the United States. Chile in Controt. In this settlement Chile keeps the |important port of Arica with the terminus and the railway to Bolivia for a long time Bolivia’s economic |life, and in a certain measure even the economic life of Southern Peru.

In| | by which it can continue to control} The $6,000,000 which Chile itt pay to Peru is to the advantage of the Chilean government. ‘The treaty of Ane after the “War of the Pacific,” in which Peru and Bolivia were defeated provide that if a plebiscite awarded Tacna nd Arica to Chile, it would have to to Peru $10,060,000, Now Chile keeps the important part of the district, leaving to Peru an almost! valueless territory, and pays to Peru, 35 years later, when the value of the $10,000,000 has greatly de- creased, cnly the sum of $6,000,000. | Peru to Sell to Boli The only value the t Tacna may have for Peru is timental importance for “national aspiration” and for the amount of money Peru may get from Bolivia, when it sells that country an access to the sea. Through its free port! in the bay of Arica, the existing rail- way from Arica to Tacna, and through a new railway which Peru will build to connect Tacna with the Arica-La Paz railway in Bolivian territory, Peru will eventually have a strategic advantage in being able to transport passengers and goods to its Southern provinces without pass- ing through Chilean territory. Boliv opportunity to direct access to the Pacific Ocean, which is clearly envisaged in the present settlement, will probably | |diminish its pressure against Para- |guay, from which it attempts to| wrest a port on the right bank of the Paraguay river in order to have an access to the Atlantic. As this aecess to the bank of the Paraguay river leads through the Chaco Boreal, which is in the possession of Para-| |guay, the Atlantic solution of Boli- | via’s aspiration for an access to the sea has threatened a war with Para- guay which might involve neighbor- ing countries. The United States, which has such great economic stakes in South America, is terested in maintaining peace that hentisphere, U.S. Keeps Control. | With this settlement the United States has placated Chile where it| Bs important nitrate and copper in- terests, Bolivia where it has tin | interests and, in a certain measure, | Peru, where it has copper and the | general control of the country. This settlement restores the pres- tige of the United States, which was | badly shaken after its failure in its | former attempt to settle the ques- | tion by supervising the plebiscite, | and by Kellogg’s proposition to give | or sell the districts of Tacna and Arica outright to Bolivia. The| plebiscite was abandoned two years | ago by the American supervisor of | |the plebiscite, General Lassitter, | when he recognized that Chile sabo- | taged all attempts at an honest vot- jing and when he saw that Chile | jterrorized and deported all those who could have voted in favor of |Peru. A plebiscite at that time would have given the whole terri- tory to Chile. The new settlement gives Peru at least a partial satis- faction which it would not have ob- tained by a plebiscite. | Last Group of Officers in Spanish Revolt Are Tried by Martial Court CIUDAD REAL, Spain, May 27. |--The last group of officers charged | |with “complicity” in the revolt of last February were tried by court martial here today.
