government referred to by President
Harrison in his message as an insult
ing reply. Minister Malta replied that
there was not the least truth in the
Characterization. He had never penned

administration. On the other hand,
Minister Egan's letters to the GILLIAN
foreign Office were insulting in q
marked degree
