Washington Statement


Washington, Apr. 2.-The state
department announced settlement oi
the Newcastle consulate dispute to-
night by making public the CORE
spondence between Premier Mac
Donald and Ambassador Kellog as
given out in London. 1t is the in
tention to re-establish the Newcastle
consulate at all early date and to
bring about the assignment of con-
sular officers Slater and Brooks to
posts in Great Britain.
The latter two officers were charg-
ed by British shipping interests and
by the British foreign office itself
with attempting to divert passengers
from British to American liners. II
was contended that they had raised
difficulties in the issue Of vises for
the United States to passengers not
travelling by American lines, and
had limited that inconvenience
would be encountered in the United
States unless the passengers trav-
elledf on American steamships.
Tho state department at the time
the charges were made instituted
three separate and thorough inves-
legations. In each instance the in
vestigators reported that the charges
could not be substantiated and that
Messieurs Slater end Brooks had not
been found guilty of any wrongful
act or to have in any degree exceed
ed their authority as consular off,
GERS.
The British government, however
insisted that the two officers be
transferred from Newcastle, and
cancelled the exequaturs of Mr.. Sla-
ter and withdrew recognition of Mr.
Brooks. This action was viewed by
the state department as an infliction
of unJustified injury to the accused
officials.
Secretary Hughes then ordered the
Newcastle consulate closed and au-
thorized the sale of the premises
notifying the British government
that the consulate would be discon-
tinued until it had publicly exoner.
ated the consular officers and agreed
to receive them without prejudice
as American consular officers at any
post maintained by the United
States in the British Empire.
An immediate reaction was noted
in British shipping circles which
complained or delays and loss oi
money in clearing their ships fol
American ports because of lack OF

pers recourse was required of Amer.
