WASHINGTON—Island
Diplomat Says London Worked With Trotsky
MOSCOW, March 5. (U. P.). — Christian Rakovsky, for years Russia’s ace diplomat, asserted today at the mass trial of 21 Bolshevik leaders for treason that Great Britain accepted him as Russian Ambassador only after learning that he was associated with Leon Trotsky. Asserting that Gen. Trotsky was a British agent, Rakovsky said that he himself, after being shown a forged letter which constituted a threat to him, was taken to a dinner at a London restaurant to meet the chief of the British Intelligence Service Russian section in 1924, a year after his appointment as Ambassador. “I went to Moscow,” he said, “and talked to Trotsky. Trotsky said that the forged letter was only an excuse. He agreed that we were to work with the British intelligence.” . Shocked by Japan Rakovsky said that he confessed, after eight months in prison, only when+he learned for the first time, from newspapers, that Japan was warring on China. The two “most hated men in the Soviet Union” waited to take their turn on the stand. They are Nikolai Bukharin, one time “heir apparent to Lenin” and Communist Internationale president, and Henry Grigorievich Yagoda, for years the most dreaded man in the Soviet union as secret police head.
Vienna University Closed After Riot

Japs Order Chiang Beheaded if Caught
TOKYO, March 5 (U. P.). —Chiang Kai-shek will be beheaded by the Japanees military whenever and wherever he is found, Foreign Minister Koki Hirota told the Japanese Diet tonight. ; : He declared he cannot imagine
any foreign power intervening on behalf of Gen. Chiang.
His statement indicated that the|
Japanese have given up hope of making peace terms and that the last peace feelers, made about three
weeks ago through the German Em-,
bassy in Hankow, had been rejected.
South Sea Island Questions Dodged
WASHINGTON, March § (U. P.). —Secretary of State Cordell Hull today referred to the White House all questions on American claims to two islands in the South Seas, lending weight to reports that President Roosevelt is considering an executive order extending U. S. sovereignty to the tiny isles. At the White House, however, all questions on the islands were referred back to the State Department. The islands are Canton and Enderbury of the Phoenix Group, discovered by American whalers more than a century ago, but since claimed by Great Britain. Recent development of trans-Pacific commercial air lanes have emphasized the importance of the islands as aerial bases.
Duce’s Paper Hints
Stalin Is Fascist
MILAN, March 5 (U. P.).—Premier Benito Mussolini’s newspaper Popolo D’Italia suggested today that Josef Stalin had become a secret Fascist, and in his mass trial was killing off remaining Communists. The editorial took occasion also to |
‘| smile at President Roosevelt and
others who still enjoy friendly relations with Russia. Because of its mordant style, of which Premier Mussolini is a master, many people believed that the Duce himself wrote the editorial.
