Washington.-B direction of the
Foreign Office, the British embassy
made public a statement and one Of
the series of British diplomatic COM
munications bearing on the Newcastle
consulate incident. The State De-
partment Immediately made public
all of the American communications
and statements relating to that case.
Though there are gaps in the inter
change between the two governments
due to the lack Of British notes not
made public, the whole correspond
ence and the accompanying state
ments throw into sharp relief the fact
that the American position in defense
of Consul Slater and Vice-Consul
Brooks is based primarily on the cir
cumstance that charges against them
were given publicity in London. The
British correspondence fatty dis
claims responsibility for. that pub
licity.
The British note signed by Marquis
Curzon and dated December 27, 1922
was prefaced by the following state
ment issued by the embassy:
The official pronouncement on the
subject of the United States Con
sulate at Newcastle, which appeared
in the newspapers of the fourth in
stant, contained a statement to the
effect that the British government, by
specifying the reasons why the Amer
lean consular officers at that post had
become unacceptable, had in effect
invited a discussion + these reasons
in order to remove the misappre
nension which appears to exist on this
point, the British Foreign Office are
causing a statement to be published
in which they repeat the declaration

MANY TONGUES SPOKEN IN TRAINING CAMP OF THE ARGENTINE BOXER

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. 31- Many tongues are spoken in the training camp of Luis Angel Firpo, challenger for the worlds heavy weight boxing title.
 Firpo and Natalie Angel Pera. an other Argentine, who has become a member of the sparring corps, speak Spanish and Italian. Horatio Lavelle, the director general of the outfit, converses in either Spanish or French. Carlos Vega, the liaison man, trans lates what is being sad in Italian, French, German or English. Charley Schoeneman, the masseur. and Frank Koebele have their tete-tetes in Ger man, and Joe McCann, another punch catcher, utters an expressive Gaelic when Firpo hits him hard.
 And then there is Albertino, the Uruguayan chef. While Albertino's linguistic accomplishments have gone no further than Spanish and smat- tering of English, he can sing.
 When the entire outfit gets to- gether in the Firpo cottage and starts talking, accompanied by Albertino s strong tenor as he scrapes pans in the kitchen, it reminds one Of ra- dio set gone wrong.

 All the work of the assemgly will be done in public. Every session, both plenary and committee. Is open to the press. Apparently efforts are being made to prevent the League from falling into those ways of se- crecy which often marks the course of diplomats in international negotia- tiops. Occasionally, during the last year, some sessions of the council were held privately, with resultant criticism based on the allegation that, if the League, as it gets stronger, yields to the temptation to follow the road of secrecy, it is eventually doomed to failure because the key note of it's success must be open covenants openly arrived at. The as sembly generally discusses not oni7 what the League has done during the past year, but also what it has not done and should do.
 Each state which is a member of the League may be represented by not more than three delegates who are appointed by and responsible to their respective governments. As the work of the League covers many different fields of international lift. and as the sessions are run with the greatest possible expedition, many countries have supplementary dale gates and expert advisors on yar'eas problems. Each, however, has but one vote. Practically all questions of importance can be decided only by unanimous vote. One state could block an agreement, if it wished to take the responsibility. AS mattet of fact such contingency has not arisen in the history of the League One of two policies has been followed Either negotiations have been pur sued until an agreement acceptable to all has been reached, or states which felt unable to agree to a de nite proposal have abstained from voting. thus allowing the proposal to be adopted by the other countries.
