LONDON EXPLAINS
REFUSAL OF SAFE CONDUCT

London, Nov. 27.-The foreign Of
flee has sent Ambassador Page a note
definitely refusing to grant safe
conduct to Count Adam Tarnowski
Won Tarnow, the new Austron-Hun-
garian ambassador to the United
States.
The reason for the refusal may be
-paraphrased as follows:
Even if. international law forbade
the refusal of such conduct, the
actions of Austrian and German en-
bassies and consuiates abroad have
been so much in excess of regular
diplomatic functions that The British
government feels justified in with
holding its consent for such diplo-
mats to travel to their posts.
