Presently there was sQuawk from

WASHINGTON. MaN


Several months ago Congressman Moore
acting for certain Jewish instrumentalitics,
obtained the consent of the State Depart
ment for the shipment of certain relief sup
plies to Syria and also to bring away GER
tain citizens from that place. Why the De-
partment was obliged to change its plans
owing to war conditions is revealed by this
letter from Secretary Lansing to Mr. Moore
Replying To- your letter Of May >, rel
ative to the possibility Of securing trans
portaton from Syria for the four children
of Salim Lotuff, | have the honor to in
form you that, at least for the present, it
has been found necessary to abandon the
plan of sending the L. $. S. Des Moines and
the L. :. s. collier Caesar to Beirut for
the purpose of transporting relief supplies
to Syria and of bringing American citizens
away from that place
"The Spanish Government, however,
through the Spanish Ambassador at Wash.
ington has recently offered to furnish a
Spanish ship for the purpose OF transport
ing the relief supplies collected by the
American committee for Armenian and
Syrian relief to Beirut; and the Depart
ment. i'm thanking the Spanish Ambassador
for this offer. inquired whether it would
be possible for this ship also to bring
American citizens out of Syria. This in
quiry has heen transmitted by the Spanish
Ambassador to his Government and the De-
partment is still awaiting an answer
thereto"
