Sun Life Assets
Invested in j. !.
Leading Conodion Co.
Reports Upward Trend

The Sun Life of Canada has
approximately 500 of its total
assets of billion dollare invest
ed in the United States, accord
ing to Lyman E. Malone, Mana
ger of the Company's Branch in
Detroit, Michigan, who today re-
leased the Seventy-first Annual
Statement which shows in
creases in all important items.
With the new business showing
a strong upward trend through
out the period under review, this
leading Canadian Company once
again demonstrates the signifi-
canoe of life assurance in ma
tional economy.
Arthur B. Wood, Sun Life
President, in his annual review
of the Company's operations
gives particular emphasis to the
functions of life assurance under
war conditions. He declared that
every available dollar of policy
holders prem ium savin gs
while performing its primary
purpose of providing security
for the individual and the family
is also being applied, together
with the investment income of
the Company, to the purchase of
government loans. The contribu-
ton of the life companies to the
war effort has been most SUBJ
stantial and must be sustained
for as long as is necessary, not
only during the war, but after
wards in the time of reconstruc-
ton.
Other important figures ap-
pearing in the Sun Life's Annual
Report are: Premium Income
S112,500,00O; Investment Income
36,300,000; Total Receipts from
all sources S169,3Oo,OOO; Pay
ments to policyholders $88,300,-
600, including nearly 12,500,00
paid in dividends to policyhold-
ers; Total benefits paid since
first policy issued, approxi-
mately 81, 5O0,0OO,O0O; Over ST.
100000 was paid in taxes by the
Company during the year; Sud-
plus and contingency reserves

VAST THREAT
1t is now an easy hop for the
Japanese soldier across Malacca
Straits from Singapore to the
Dutch East Indies island of SUI
matra. Down that 1,OO0-mile long
island he now may attempt to
march almost to Java, the heart
of the Indies, il he does not
choose to 60 in ships.
From her islands in the north
to the corner bastion at Singa-
pore in the south, Japan now
holds the Asiatic coast and its
seas.
The gallant defense at Bataan,
which denied to the Japanese
the use of Manila Bay, has prov
ed useless. The japanese have a
better base at Singapore.
Singapore was created by the
British from an insignificant
fishing village which they &C.

Sir Stamford RaffIcs was the

Rationing Board Inspectors
OK d Tires, Hund|ey Says
Earlier Story on Page A-2.)

Earlier Story on Page Ar
Hiram Ben Hundley, Washington
tire dealer, told a District Court
jury this afternoon that tires he is
accused of selling unlawfully were
approved for sale by the authority
of Eugene T. Brady, formerly as
sistant executive secretary of the
District Rationing Board.
Giving testimony that dovetailed
with that of earlier witnesses, Mr..
Hundley said that Mr.. Brady called
him on January 10 and asked "if we
had any changeovers-that he'd like
to get some. He said he wanted some
for friends at the White House"
Mr.. Hundley said that he told Mr..
Brady that he had some tires but
that he was in doubt as to what he
could sell because the regulations
change so fast" The witness added
that he told the rationing Official
that he wouldn't trust his own judg-
ment on this matter but that Mr..
Brady could come over and look at
the tires land if he would O. K
them I would sell them"
Later he said Mr.. Brady came to
his place at 3446 Fourteenth street
NV. with two inspectors, J. M. Ca
wood and ]. E. Clement, and that
the tires in question were marked
o. K. The defense is contending
that all tires sold by Mr.. Hundley
were changeovers-tires traded in
by car owners for other types, and
the inspection was to determine if
they had been run 1000 miles and
consequently could be sold under
OPA regulations.

More Active Role
In World Politics
By Vatican Hinted
Report Of Proposed Trip
Of Cardinal MoeIione to
London Arouses Interest
BY PAUL GHALI,
Foreign Correspondent Of The ST.


Foregn Correspondent OF The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
BERN. July GA suggestion that
Vatican diplomacy may take more
active part in world politics is con-
tanned in Rome dispatch to the
Basler Nachrichten today. The dis
patch mentions the coming trip
abroad of Papal Secretary of State
Luigi Cardinal Maglione with Lon
don as one of his goals Although
the possibility of new peace efforts
by the Pope Is strongly denied in
Vatican circles, according to the
dispatch, the correspondent does not
hide the interest aroused in Rome
by the rumored trip.
Catholic groups in Germany and
France have tried vainly during the
last few months to end the horrors
Of war. Today's Vichy announce
ment that three Dominican priests
have been condemned to death by
the German authorities for DE
Gaullism" and that Marshal Henri
Philippe Petain is intervening in
their behalf surely will not dampen
the Pope's well-known desire for
peace.
Vatican experts here, although
unable to confirm Cardinal Ma
CLONES trip, compared it today with
the European tour in 1910 of Sum-
ner Welles, United States Under
secretary of State. There is no
doubt, one expert said, that If the
Vatican Is too wise to launch a
peace offensive at this stage of the
war, there is nothing to prevent the
papal emissary from making the
same Investigations in Allied and
Axis circles as Mr.. Welles made.
The Vatican also is showing deep
interest in the Egyptian situation,
the Basler Nachrichten says, and is
favorably impressed by the Italo-
German joint assurance of Egypt's
independence. The only concern of
the Pope. the paper says, is the
welfare of the country. The Egyptian
population includes more than
$4,000 Catholics.
Altnougn AXIS QlSpatcneS IN Swiss
newspapers this morning report con-
tinued confidence in the Egyptian
battle, they also reveal that Axis
leaders now are warning their people
against too much optimism. The
Berlin correspondent of the Basler
Nachrichten says a decision in the
Ell Alamein battle, claimed yesterday
by Berlin military experts, now is
admitted not to have been reached.
The same note comes from the Rome
correspondent of the Swiss paper
The Rome correspondent reports
that Italian newspapers are en-
phasizing terrain difficulties and the
consequent necessity to curb ones
impatience and Imagination.
