Trofsky Sees Aid Pledges
In Nazi-Soviet Pact
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, Sept. l5.--Leon
Trotsky, exiled former commissar OF
war in the Soviet Russian revolution,
says he sees evidence of secret ar
ticles' in the Russian German nom
aggression pact.
In a statement published today
Trotsky referred to reports that
Russian ships en- route to England
with cargoes of lumber had been or
dered back to their home ports. Ber-
lin newspapers displayed such re-
ports Tuesday.
= Trotsky argued that the order to
the ships could have been only upon
Berlin's demand"
Trotsky asked, What could this
demand be based upon? Evidently
upon secret articles in the German
Soviet pact. We cannot find any
other explanation"
The statement also referred to
Soviet charges that Polish planes
. had violated the Russian border.
What interest does the Kremlin
have in raising an international up
roar about these incidents?
AN attempt to prove its loyalty to
Hitler? Undoubtedly. But possibly
something more 1t is possible that
the Kremlin, at Hitler's request, has
begun to seek and publish pretexts
for a closer and more open co-opera-
ton with Hitler"

Virginia Insurance
Firm Warning Is
Cited in Records
Shenundooh's Methods
Defended as Proper;
Loans Well Secured

Records showing that the Virginia
State Corporation Commission ad-
vised the Shenandoah Life Insur-
ance Co., of Roanoke, in 1884, that
its business was not being proper
" conducted in several most impor-
tant respects" were made public in
Richmond yesterday by George A.
Bowles, Virginia commissioner of in
surance, according to an Associated
Press dispatch.
Mr.. Bowles said that the insurance
company was in an entirely solvent
condition, but that the commission
had ordered changes in its business
policies several times in past years.
A letter dated April IA, 1884, and
addressed to E. Lee Trinkle, former
Governor of Virginia and now pres
ident of the Shenandoah Life, said:
The commission has received
from the Bureau of Insurance and
Banking a written statement which,
to say the least, is amazing in many
respects to the Commission, and
which the commission views with
the utmost disfavor and feels it to
be its duty to demand that these
things be corrected"
Improper Loans Alleged.
Mr.. BoWles said the letter cited
loans made to officers, directors and
members of their families, and said
that some were made without appro-
val of the managing committee and
without the knowledge of the presi-
dent and other executive officers.
Records of the Federal Monopoly
Subcommittee here showed that 95
different loans had been made since
1929 by the company to its officers,
directors, their families and cor
porations in which they were inter-
ested. Activities of the company in
connection with steps taken to change
its organization from a stock to
mutual company were investigated
by the Monopoly Subcommittee at
hearings two days ago.
President Trinkle, in statement
issued at Roanoke yesterday said
the loans "have been repaid in full,
with interest, with few minor ex-
ceptions, and that small balance"
unpaid on $4,000 loan to Shen-
andoah Holding Corp. was so Sc
cured that the company would mot
lose one penny on that transaction"
Loans Amply Secured.
TT was both regular and GUS
tomary for insurance companies and
other financial institutions years
ago to make loans to its officers or
directors, upon approved ample COL
lateral, as of the date the loans were
made, and all such loans made by
the Shenandoah Life Insurance Co.
to any of its officers or directors were
amply secured at the time the loans
were made" he said.
Mr.. Trinkle said no such loans
had been made since enactment of
a State law in 1884 prohibiting the
practice. He said the company was
in excellent financial condition and
growing stronger.

NEWARK, N. j.. April 22.-Vice
Chancellor John o. Bigelow ruled
today that New Jersey employers
not affected by the National Labor
Relations Act had a right to dis
charge employees for union activities
An employer" he said, still has
a right to pick and choose whom
he will hire and fire and to run his
business as a non-union shop"
The court granted a preliminary
anti-picketing injunction to Krich-
Radisco, Inc, an electrical concern,
against two discharged employees and
the union. The company contended
one was dismissed for business
reasons and the other for cause, but
the union claimed they were dis
charged for union activities.
For the purpose of the motion"
the court assumed they were dis
charged for the latter reason.

remain neutral If possible in case of

is now here after his Berlin conver-

While Bucharest's defensive alli-

menaced. This leaves the Germans
free to decide Rumania's attitude.

visit to BRUSHES are first, to con-

second, to increase exports of oil,

Italy Opens Par|ey
To Lure yugos|avia
Into Orbit Of Axis
Non-Aeeression Accord
With Hungary Likely
First Result
BY the Associated Press.

oy tAS AoSOSAAtC0 1AGSos
VENICE, April 22.-Foreign min
listers of Italy and Yugoslavia to-
day began conferences which in
formed sources expect to result in
italy in Yugoslav agreement for
non-aggression pact with Hun
gary.
BY drawing closer to her old foe.
it was said, Yugoslavia would be
more closely linked to the Rome
Berlin axis.
If Hungary, leading satellite of
the axis, then should give concrete
evidence that she would not press
territorial claims against Yugoslavia,
tighter Hungarian-Yugoslav treaty
of friendship was expected to fol-
low the aggression pact.
Hopes for Anti-Red Pact Signature.
Informed sources said Italy then
hoped to bring Yugoslavia wholly
within the orbit of the axis by in
ducing her to sign the anti-comin-
tern pact of which Germany, Japan,
Italy, Hungary, Manchukuo and
Spain are signatories.
The Italian and YugoSlav foreign
ministers, Count Galeazzo Ciano
and Alexander Cincar -Markovich,
will confer today and tomorrow.
Count Ciano, on his arrival here
by airplane for the talks, said his
meeting with Cincar- -Markovich
would show, among other things,
that, despite "the slight change in
the map of the Balkans" by 1taly's
conquest of Albania, "Italo-Yugo-
slav friendship is as firm as ever"
Cordial Contacts at Border.
AS the talks opened, it was an
nounced Italian military authori-
ties in Albania had made cordial
contacts" with Yugoslav officers at
frontier points.
Informed sources said renewed
assurances that Italy would not ex-
tend her Balkan territorial expan-
sion into Yugoslavia and possibly
economic concessions would be the
reward for Yugoslav cooperation
with Italy against what Fascists
have called Anglo French attempts
at encirclement of the axis powers.
