.HAPCOOD DENIES HE
EVER FAVORED SOVIET
Says One Reason for Resigning as
Minister to Denmark Was to
Answer "Falsehoods.

NEW YORK. December 81 (by the
Associated Press).-Norman Hapgood
issued statement here last night in
explanation of his resignation as minis
ter to Denmark, in which he categori-
cally denied having expressed sympathy
for. or having had relations with, the
soviet government of Russia. He de-
clared his views have not changed re-
garding the maintenance of the block
ade, and that he still believes bolshe-
yism is strengthened by it. not only in
Russia, but elsewhere, "in proportion as
Europe suffers from the inability to get
raw materials and food from Russia and
to send her manufactured articles in re-
turn"
Charges that Mr.. Hapgood had been in
friendly relations with Lenin and Trot-
sky were originally made in Harvey's
Weekly. and the former minister said
that one of his reasons for asking to be
released from the diplomatic service
was the necessity of answering Col.
George Harvey's falsehoods. His at
tack was foolish and vindictive,'' he
asserted.
Mr. Hapgood said he has been op-
posed to communism all his life and
denounced the charge that he was
a plenipotentiary of Lenin and Trot
sky as "grotesque falsehood." He
characterized an accusation that he
had used the American legation at
Copenhagen as trading post for
the soviet government as "despica-
BILE"
Mr.. Hapgood explained that Alex
ander Berkenheim, representing H.
900, 900 co-operatives of Russia, came
to America with a letter from Prince
Kropotkin, and they met He said he
agreed with the Russian that the best
way to overcome bolshevism was to
restore trade, and he gave Berkeh-
helm letters to government officials
here, urging that he be permitted to
ship out piled up stores of flax and
hemp valued at $300.000.000 await
ing export in possession of the CO.
operatives and to import machinery,
shoes. sugar and medicine. Out of this.
MIR. Hapgood said. grew the false
charge that he had made repeated
overtures" in Wall street to finance
the bolsheviki, Berkenheim being so
anti -bolshevist, he stated. as to have
been arrested five times.

After the tide of war had been
