REVOLT IN BOLIVIA
STATE OF SIEGE DECREE LAPAZ, (Bolivia), Sept. 18. President Enrique Hertzog proclaimed a state of siege throughout Bolivia today. An official announcement said the totalitarian national revolutionary movement was engaged. The Government said the totalitarian national revolutionary movement had sought to take advantage of the general tin miners’ strike, but added that the strike call had been heeded only in the Pulca.vo mines, and that elsewhere operations were normal. The decree proclaiming the state of siege said the Government had evidence “that seditious agitators are planning to unleash a bloody civil war.” The Ministry of the Interior told the press that there would not be censorship either of the newspapers or news agencies.
