It has been found that the plot- ters had intended to seize President Justo, occupy public buildings and wage a boinbing war against au- thority.

There have been many arrests, including two ex-presidents, M. Irigoyen and M. Alvear, numerous other members of the Radical party. The two ex-presi- dents will be deported, it is said.

So far there has been no violence, but the city is in " state of sfepe."

Papers of the right and centre find the Chancellor exceedingly con- ciliatory in his statement of policy, which will tend to ease still further the political situation.

General Von Schleicher is in virtually the same position in which the former Chancellor von Papen found himself in the Reichstag, without a majority to support him.
