Civil. - Military Tribunal Will Pass Judgment On Accused

O the 230 political pri-

Boners awaiting trial for complicity in the red revolution of November, 1935, there are two foreig- ners, three members of the Third International's Executive Committee, one federal senator, four federal deputies and several former high army officers.

All will be tried under the anti-subversion provisions of the National Security Law, which was hotly disputed when it came before Congress shortly before the rebellion. The ac- cused, if convicted, face from six to ten years imprisonment for "attempting to change by violent means, directly or in- directly, the Constitution of the Republic, in whole or in part of the form of government thereby established,"

The trial will involve not only the attempt to organize a nation-wide Communist revolution, but will aim to show that the movement was sponsored and financed by the Third International through

Latin- American secretariat in Montevideo, Uruguay, which envisaged a pro- letarian revolution throughout the Central and South America.

URUGUAY SEVERED TIES

The Uruguayan government broke off diplomatic relations with the Soviet as a result of evidence pre- sented by Brazil indicating the Soviet Embassy in Montevideo had abetted the Brazilian movement.

Suppression of the revolution was followed by the greatest police round-| up Brazil ever has known, resulting in many thousands being arrested and held on suspicion. So full were Rio de Janeiro's gaols at one time, that a passenger liner was commls- stoned as a doating prison, anchored

FINANCIAL PROVISION FOR THE DUKE OF WINDSOR IS, I UNDERSTAND, LIKELY TO BE

SETTLED SHORTLY ON THE BASIS OF A CAPITAL

PAYMENT OF £125,000 AND AN ANNUITY OF £20,000.

These plans follow the recent conversations at Castle Enzesfeld between the Duke, the Princess Royal, the Earl of Harewood, and Sir Walter Monckton, K.C., Attorney- General to the Duchy of Cornwall.

If the proposals as reported meet with the approval of the King, it is probable that he will make himself res- ponsible for the annuity, and that other members of the Royal Family will be privately responsible for the capital payment.

The sums mentioned are derived from an assessment of what may be regarded as the "moral rights" of the ex- King to the enjoyment of certain hereditary and private royal properties.

First, in respect of properties, and rights in London, Bandring- ham, Balmoral and elsewhere which the Duka enjoyed as heir to! the Throne, or on the assumption | that he would continue to occupy the Throne, after his Accession:
