POWERFUL MARINE
URGED BY TROTSKY
Tells Russians Ships Are
Needed for Growing Trade
and War.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. July 11.-Minister of
War Leon Trotsky, Commissar Leonid
Krassin and other Soviet officials, at
great public gathering last
night urged Russia to create her
own mercantile marine to take care
of the country's growing exports,
avoid dependence on foreign-owned
vessels, strengthen the red navy in
time of war and secure lower freight
charges.
The meeting was held in Moscow's
big conservatory of music, under the
Craftsmanship Of KraSsin. Trotsky,
who. in spite of his recent defeats in
the party councils, seems to retain a
firm hold on the masses, received a tu-
multuous reception. Although looking
careworn, the popular head of the
red army spoke with his old-time fire
and vigor. He declared that Russia
is real naval power, $4,000 of $4,000
kilometerS of her frontiers consist
ing of coast lines.
Tells of Russia's Trade.
my desire to see Russia build up
her own ocean tonnage" he said, 'is
prompted by the existence of a mo-
nopoly in foreign trade which this
nation holds This is faced by an
other monopoly in the form of for
eign maritime transport. The time
may come when Russia will be
threatened with a coalition of the
owners of foreign vessels against
Russian monopoly of foreign trade
"As this monopoly is one of the
bulwarks of the Soviet state, 1 am
sure the government will not depart
from its avowed policy of controlling
the country's overseas trade We
must and shall. therefore, create an
al1-Russian mercantile marine
TrotSky stressed the Importance of
a mercantile marine in connection
with Russia's naval forces in time of
war as they depend, he said. mutu-
ally upon one another. The rapidity
with which Russia has re-established
her naval forces, which virtually were
annihilated during the world strug-
gle and Russia's own civil war, the
minister added. was proof that Rus
sia is capable of building up a strong
commercial fleet in time of peace.

YOUR BONUS
Questions That Bother You
Will Be Answered in
This Column.

partment, The Evening Star,
Washington, ID. c.

Q. Please tell me if an ex-soldier
with paidup insurance policy with
the Veterans Bureau can sell it or
dispose of it in any way for cash.
D. M.
A. If your insurance policy is a
converted one, then it has a cash
surrender value. Apply to the Vet
erans Bureau for forms and it will
cancel your insurance and pay you its
cash surrender value. OF course, you
will after making such a deal have
no insurance on your life.
Q. A boy who served overseas had
his insurance made to his mother and
his allowance to his father. The IA
ther and mother were divorced. Sine
then both the father and boy havo
died. Will the mother or the boys
brothers and sisters get the bonus?-
F. D. H.
A. The mother of the boy should
make application for the bonus, as
are due, provided, of course, that the
boy was unmarried and left no chill
dren and the mother was dependent
upon him.
Q. My husband, who is the father of
my two children, enlisted and served
throughout the war under an as
sumed name. I do not know where he
is now. During the war he made no
allotment to either me or the chill
dren. Is there any way / can collect
part of the bonus due my husband
for the use of our children?-Mrs. H.
A. Your husband, if he makes ap-
plication will receive no bonus but
he will receive an adjusted service
certificate. When making Application
he is asked to name sOenehciary.
Perhaps he will name you or one of
your children as his beneficiary. In
this way if he did not live twenty
years the amount of his certlncate
would be payable to you or your
child. There are no legal steps which
you might take that would insure
your receiving part of the compen-
sation your husband will receive.
@. Ny father, who served in the
ing a wife and the writer, an only
son. 1 am now twenty-six years OLD.
Who is entitled to my fathers ad-
justed compensation?-C.D D. F.

living. You are adit entitled dh.t TO one one
fathers service earned, provided at
the time of his death you were de.
pendent upon him for support. IL
YOU were not more than eighteen
years of age at the time Of his death
you will be presumed to have been
dependent upon him. Generally
speaking, no payments will be made
to relatives of deceased service men
unless they were dependent at the
time of the death of the veteran.
@. My son was killed during the
war MY husband, the father of our
boy, died about two years ago.
remarked before the passage of the
adjusted compensation act. Am en-
titled to the benefits of the bonus?-
Mrs. /.
A. If your son was unmarried and

to the benefits of the adjusted serv-
ice credit which your sons military
service earned. The fact that you
have remarked will not affect your
rights. Make application to the War
Department as dependent.
