American consulats at New Castle on
Tyne following cancellation OF the
consular exequaturs by the British
government Ia apparently for an In
definite period.
\ Fred c. Slater was the consul and
Russell NJ. Brooks. vtcc-consul.
The action OF the British govern
mcnt is said to have been taken on
the ground that the two consuler Of
ficials arc unduly active In soliciting
business for the vessels OF the United
States Shipping Board. and that at
tempts were made 10 coerce British
subjects into using American vessels
instead OF those Of British registry,
This was denied by Mr.. Slater in an
Interview last night.
The Britieh government ak weeks
ago advised the American governmen,
II had proof Of abuse by Consul Slater
and Vice Consul Brooks OF their posi-
tions and that II had decided reluct-
antly to withdraw their papers. The
government stated also that It would
defer action for. a month or two az
the American government was con-
ducting its own negotiations and
might decide to remove the officials
itself.
The American governments reply
was that II did not consider any OF
the allegations substantiated. The
British government. according 10 OF.
hcials. felt then that It would hav.
no alternative but to enforce It's deci-
sion.
