POINTS SETTLED

RUSSIAN-GERMAN FRIENDSHIP WARNING TO THE ALLIES (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Sept. 30, 1 p.m.) MOSCOW, Sept. 29 Before leaving by air Herr von Ribbentrop said the following points had been settled:— (1) Russian-German friendship has been finally established. (2) Russia and Germany would not allow any further interference in Eastern European questions. (3) Both desired the re-estab-lishment of peace, and Britain and France must give up the futile and hopeless struggle against Germany. (4) Should British and French warmongers prevail Russia and Germany knew how to meet such a situation. Big Increase in Trade The British United Press’ Moscow correspondent says the economic aspect of the agreement is understood to provide for increasing the total trade to £100,000,000 annually, which was the level two years before Hitler’s advent but nearly ten times the total provided in last month’s agreement. The Moscow wireless states that leaflets embodying the Nazi-Soviet agreement were scattered from the air in the Russian area of Poland, stating that the agreement ends the Polish nobles’ exploitation and oppression of White Russians and Ukranians, who can face the future full of happiness and justice.
