MCDONALD DEFENDS
 RECENT ACTIVITY.
Believes Plot Letters Are Bona
 Fide.-Rassia Asks Apology
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Cardiff, Wales, Oct. 27.--Prime Minister Macdonald, speaking be- fore a political meeting here today, declared that he honestly believed to be genuine the alleged letter from M. Zinovieff to the British com muniats, upon which was based in part the protest submitted by the British foreign office on Friday to the Soviet representative in London.
 Received Oct. 10.
 Accepting the challenge to make public the date of receipt of the Zinovieff letter, made to the govern ment by the press hostile to 1t, Mir. M. Macdonald declared that the let ter had been received by the for eign office on Oct 10, the date, of the dissolution of parliament. Only nine days elapsed between the re- ee!pt of the document and the an- swer, he sail.
 Stressing the fact that the matter had been handled in the briefest possible time, the premier asserted that in the old days" the foreign office would have taken weeks 10 deal with the situation.
 Political Plot Seen.
 Mir Macdonald declared unequi- vocally that the British government would not brook interference from any, foreign power. He said he could not avoid the suspicion that the en- tire incident was political plot.
 The premier said he had received the Zinovieff letter from the foreign office Oct. 16 and had returned it with the comment that greater care should be taken to discover whether it was authentic, but that, if it were authentic, 1t should be published immediately.
 He had received the draft of the foreign office protest. which later was submitted to the charge daf faires Christian Rakovsky, on Oct. g, had altered Ii and then returned 1t 10 the foreign office, expecting that it would be returned to him with proofs of the authenticity of the Zinovief document.
 That night. however. the protest to M. RakoYsky was published.
 The foreign office, the prime min- ister continued, honestly believed the document to be authentic and inc foreign office officials acted on that belief They knew he would not tolerate that propaganda.
 Referring to the possibility that the letter might have been a for gery, the premier declared: If the letter is forgery, it shows the of scoundreiness with which we are being surrounded. My ex- perience has made it impossible for me not to be suspicious If the let ter is genuine, depend upon 1t that so long as there is a labor govern ment and I am responsible to that 1t will handle with frmness and discrimination every attempt hy an outside power to in- terfere with our internal affairs"

NAVY DAY BEING
 OBSERl'"N TODAY
In U. s. and " American
 Possessions

Washington, Oct. 27.--The Navy | kept "open ship" today. Navy Day and the birthday of Theodore Roose- welt,
 Tn every harbor and at every naval establishment, the public was invited to inspect the working of the arm of sea defense. In addition. at various stations, patriotic ceremonies were held, high naval officers delivered addresses, naval airplanes flew over much of the country and every effort was put forth to give the people a more intimate knowledge of the spirit and purposes of this branch of the service.
 The death of Secretary Wallace caused curtailment of plans for :. celebration of the day in Washington and elaborate ceremonies gave way to simple commemorative exercises at monuments of naval h eroes. Wreaths were placed at the statue of Paul Jones and others of the early American Admirals.
 Every war veterans organization joined In a service in memory of Theodore Roosevelt. Tonight secre- tary Wilbur will deliver an address on the navy by radio. -E
