STINSONS SOVET POLIY APPROVED Many Letters Received at Department, With Recog- nition Rarely Asked. By the Associated Press. Many letters approving Secretary Stimson's recently announced policy of | non-recognition of the Soviet govern- | ment of Russia have been received by the State Department. | Secretary Stimson in a letter April 16 | to Matthew Woll, vice president of the | American Federation of Labor, stated Mat the American Government does not &mtemplate recognition of the Soviet. | “his policy was maintained throughout | the Coolidge administration, and diplo- | Matic circles have interpreted Mr. | Stimson’s stand as meaning that Presi- | dent Hoover will continue on the same | course. Few Favor Recognition. Officials of the State Department said today that, while many letters have been received approving the Secretary's stand, communications urging the rec- ognition of the Soviet are rare. Sen- ator Borah of Idaho, chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, has been one of the principal advocates of recognition of the regime for the last nine years and has | a resolution to that end now pending | — in_the Senate. | Despite the recent expansion of Amer- fean business interests in Russia, State Department officials declare the con- sensus among_these interests the United States is pursuing the proper Sourse and that non-recognition is not 2 Getriment to trade. They agree that the Soviet must show a willingness to | forego the alleged spreading of propa- | gands in countries with which they | have diplomatic relations before _the United States can consider recognition. Policy Change Rumored. ‘When the Hoover administration first came into office, it was rumored in dilomatic circles both here and abroad | - ] o 1 that the President would take a different | view of the Russian situation. Semi- i official views expressed in Government | circles and the pronouncement by Sec- retary Stimson, however, have put at rest all speculation on the immediate prospects of recognition. sea c s or B i | | LEGUIA RENOMINATED.

Replying to an article by Capt. D. W. Knox, U. §. N, retired, attributing the defeat of the 1927 naval bill to British and foreign propaganda, Mrs. Laura Puffer Morgan, associate sccretary of | the National Council for Prevention of War, today characterized the officer’s assertion as “absurd.” Mrs. Morgan declared the Navy De- partment to be “one of the greatest propagandist agencles in the United | States.” “The church and peace groups who | led the attack against the naval bill both last year and this year are or- ganized by American taxpayers and sup- ported by them,” she asserted.

GUATEMALA CITY, June 5.—Reports of fighting between Guatemalan and Honduran troops in the boundary re- gion are entirely baseless, President La- zaro Chacon informed American Min- | ister Geissler today. President Chacon stated that troops were sent last week to patrol railroads throughout Guate- mala for fear that trouble might result from the threatened railroad strike. The troops mow are returning to the capital, danger of the strike having abated. Referring to an exchange of notes between the Guatemalan and Hondur- | an chancellories over the ownership of the El Ginchado district, claimed by both countries, Foreign Minister Agulrri Velazquez made the following state- ment: “Guatemala desires strongly to avoid council, through subsidized propaganda, | had defeated American naval :onstruc-: tion.

Here is a possible example: The X Company, a manufacturing concern in which three men hold the stock, takes out insurance on each of their lives in an amount equal to the worth of the stock held by each. An Insurance Trust Agreement is made providing that should any of them die his stock must be purchased from his estate by the Trustee with the pro- ceeds of the Life Insurance money, at the price deter- ‘mined at the last annual meeting. The stock is then to be divided among the surviving members in proportion to their stock holdings.
