Friends of the ex-premier said he
was astonished when he learned
that the story had been printed.
Harold Spender, the English jour.
nalist who printed the story, gave
the following explanations:
"I agree with what Mr.. Lloyd
George says. He did not grant any
formal interview. I take all the
blame"
The statements attributed to the
ex.premier were made in the course
of informal conversation while
Spender was on a weekend visit
to Lloyd Georges home.
Spender had written a description
Of the Lloyd George home for a
New York newspaper, the article
containing part Of Lloyd Georges
conversation during the visit. The
editor Of the New York newspaper
lifted out the interview, making 1t
into a sensational story.

Radical Expert"
Dick Rewarded by
Business Friends
Ry rHoMAs MYERscoueH.

PITTSBURGH, July 2S.-Announce-
ment that he had resigned to accept a
job as office manager of a Pittsburgh
business concern, was the way the
capitalist sheets of Pittsburgh told
their readers that Henry ]. Lennon
had been rewarded for his service to
capitalist society, as an agent of the
department of justice.
This noble guardian of American
democracy has certainly done his best
to railroad every advocate of a work
ers' government to the various jails.
and he has been no less severe in his
efforts to do likewise with those who
merely sympathize with such a move
ment. He has just returned from the
X. X. X. town of Farrell, Pa, where
his testimony was accepted to con-
vict two comrades because of their
membership in the Workers Party.
Lennon accepts the title of "Gov-
eminent expert on racialism" and not
long ago his son was charged with
being a spy in the machinists' union.
1t is safe to assume that his new job
is in the form of a reward for service
in his capacity as special agent, also
that he will continue to function as
a spy at all radical gatherings.

MEXICO CITY, July 28.-The U.
S. Minister in Nicaragua sent a
note to the government of that
country telling them that should
they see fit to 're-elect their presi-
dent that the United States would

reason given was that the Ameri-

American imperial interests found
that the constitution of Peru (Which
also provided for no reelection

changed the constitution and re-
elected the tyrant Leguia, who has
given them unheard-of concessions

The Chicago local had previously
