state department.
Secretary Bryan issued this state
ment without comment:
"Mr. Williams requests Secretary

sition and that he does not feel that
he can conscientiously keep silent
with the knowledge which he has Of
what is being done.
HE says that he considers the sue
cess of the president more important
TO the world than all of the efforts OF
other men and does not wish to EN-.
barrass him and he wishes TO thank
him for the consideration which has
been shown him."
