Reported Outcome Hitler-Molotof
 Discussions Is Six-Point Division
 Of Spheres of Interest Europe

UNDATED, Nov. IA (P) - An other gigantic split-up in the world spheres of interests was pictured by reliable quarters in Berlin as the outcome of nego- tiations with Molotof With Brit ish bombs raining on the heart of Berlin, shortly after Hitler and Molotof concluded their dis customs, these quarters gave a six point description of the new So- viet-R ich accord:
 Russia is to have her own "Grossraum" or vast region of domination lying generally be- tween Japan's far east sphere and aXis-claimed Europe and Al rica.
 2-Russia's Grossraum will not be created at the expense of na- tions not involved in the Europ- can war and no further slice will be taken from Finland nor will the Dardanelles be seized from Turkey providing Turkey be- hayes.
 3-Turkey must make up her mind definitely and finally re- garding her place in "the new CT der in Europe.
 -Russia's compensation for supporting the R-me-Berlin- To- kyo program must coms from

 5-If Russia wants to realize her ancient dream of gaining ac- cess to the worlds oceans, pos sibly via Iran, Afghanistan and British India, the Axis powers raise no objections.
 6-All parties concerned will join efforts to bring about non aggression pact between Russia and Japan.
 Boiled down, the reported out come of the Hitler-Molotoff talks seems to indicate that Germany, Italy and Japan will not be inter fe. ed with in the Rome-Berlin- Tokyo triple alliance. In other words it is a mutual hands-ofI agreement.

The inhabitants of Trobriand Is

always have stiles before their
houses and close to them they dig
holes which they cover with
leaves. Under the leaves they
hide poisoned spears. Some years
ago the medical service consid-
cred that they should be vaccinat-
ed, but the sight of the mstru-
ments terrified them. They were
told that sorcerer was approach
ing the islands, spreading disease
which would kill people by hun

him was a government mark

diately the wizard saw those spots
he would beat a retreat. So the
