STORY THAT LANSING
WILL RESIGN FALSE
Part of Propaganda Meant to Create
Appearance of Dfssension
That Does Not Exist.

Washington, May 27.-The state de-
partment made this statement regarding
published reports that Secretary Lansing
was contemplating resigning from the
ca binet because OF differences with Pres
ident Wilson:
"The story is part of propaganda,
the deliberate purpose of which is to ere
ate an appearance of dissension in the
government which does not exist. The
story was first born last February or
March, when the relations between the
United States and Germany were some
what strained. 1t was sent to Berlin by
wireless in press dispatches. 1t was
picked up in transit in an allied country
and subsequently published there. In
that way the state department became
eognizant of the story and instructions
were sent to Berlin to watch out for it.
Apparently the persons responsible found
out we were prepared for the story, be-
cause it was never published in Germany.
The directors of this propaganda have
now taken advantage of Secretary Ian
sings illness to put out the story again"
Mr. Lansing personally denied that he
was considering resigning as he left the
White House.
