SPEYER PARTNERS
DEFEND SIR EDGAR
Admit Technical Irregularities
TO Aid Others, but Deny
Baser Charges.

II was announced here yesterday that
II. W. Brown and Gordon Leith, Eng
lish partners Of Sir Edgar Speyer. have
addressed letter TO the English press.
which says:
with reference to the report OF the
certificates of naturalization revocation
committee in the case of Sir Edgar
Speyer, as published in the press, this
should at once dispose of many of the
gross insinuations which have been made
against him.
1--WE have bem partners of Sir Edgar 5
since January. 1912. and have been over
twenty years with his firm. and we say
without qualification of any sort that
in our opinion he is incapable of any act
of treachery against the country of his
adoption. Sir Edgar was undoubtedly
concerned in certain unfortunate asso-
Citations in America. certain breaches of
war regulations and certain irregulari-
ties of a technical nature. He admittedly
cprresponded with his two sisters and
his hrother,in-law in Germany and au-
thorized the latter to make small cash
payments; payments from one enemy to
another, to old friends in distress in Ger
many and Austria and in certain cases
he attempted evasion of the censorship,
but there is no suggestion that this. how
ever indefensible on technical grounds.
embraced other than purely business and
personal matters.
1--WE think that these few comments
are due not merely to Sir Edgar himself
but to those many friends of his in this
country who have known him to be inno-
cent of those baser charges which preju-
dice has fostered and which the memory
of countless acts of kindness and gener-
osity will outlive."

France has added three new links to
the chain with which she intends TO
bind Poland to her as a military, finan-
cisl and economic ally. A permanent
economic accord was signed yesterday.
This is now known to consist of three
parts. The first is a general commercial
agreement In which France receives the
most favored nation treatment, includ-
ing a special low tax OF French wines,
jewelry, machinery and textiles
The second Is n jurldical accord as 10
the rights of French property holders In
Poland. and the final one is an agree
ment which will allow French ex-
ploitatlon I'm the Galician oil fields under
privileged conditions. thereby enabling
France to assure steady importation in
return for sending her financiers to aid
Poland's rehabilitation. The text OF the
agreements is not to be published until
they have been approved by parlia-
mentary commissions.
