EXPLAINS CAUSE OF BREAK.
Macdonald Cheered for Action To-
ward Mexico.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June l9-Prime Minister
Macdonald, in statement to the
House of Commons today, said the
United States had made arrange
ments by which the withdrawal of
Herbert c. Cummins, the British
charge des archives in Mexico City,
from Mexico would be effected.
Mr.. Macdonald defended the action
of Agent Cummins in connection
with the safety and well being of a
British subject, Mrs. Evans, and read
the letters regarding which the
Mexican government had complained.
The premier declared the behaviour
of the Mexican government, however
regarded, had been inexcusable. This
evoked cheers from the House.
Mr.. Macdonald indicated there
mission under Sir Thomas Hohler,
which was about to proceed to
Mexico to make inquiries with a
view to Great Britain's formal reeog-
milton of the Mexican government.
Cause of Letters.
Detailing the events leading up to
the present relations Of Great Brit
ain with Mexico. the prime minister
said that in April he decided to send
the Hohler mission to Mexico in order
to improve relations, and he informed
the Mexican government that with
the arrival of the mission Mr.. Cum
minis would be withdrawn, on May Is.
The Mexican government replied that
Mr.. Cummins must be withdrawn i'm
mediately owing to insulting letters
from him to the Mexican government.
The letters were written, the premier
said, because the government of Mexi-
CO was trying to diSpoSSeSs Mrs.
Evans of her farm.
The proceedings, as reported to him
were irregular and illegal, the pre-
mier declared, and Mr.. Cummins
would have been lacking in perform
ance of his duty if he had not made
representations on her behalf
This brought cheers from the house.
Holds Letters All Right.
Mr.. Macdonald said he saw MOTH
ing Objectionable in the letters ana
remarked that If foreign offices OBJ
jected to such communications there
would soon be no diplomatic relations
at all.
After various attempts had been
made to get the Mexican government
to stay it's hand, a message came to
the foreign Office last Saturday stat
ing that If Mr.. Cummins did not sur.
render himself the British legation
would be broken into on June is.
THE consul general was warned by
tinued the premier, "and I made a
final request TO the government to
take no further action until the ar
rival of Sir Thomas Hohlers mission.
which I was still prepared to send.
The next day I received refusal
and therefore requested the American
government to arrange for the with
drawal of Mr.. Cummins and see to
his safe conduct and take charge of
the legation and the archives mea7fr
while.
Il have just heard from the State
Department in Washington that ar
rangements for Mr.. Cumming with
drawal have been made. 1 hone
have made it clear that we have
shown every desire to study Mexican
susceptibilities compatible with the
dignity of his majesty's government
and with the protection to which
every British subject is entitled and
must receive"

in Criminal Division of the District

by so much as one cent out Of the
lumber contract or had any private
business or social relations of any
kind with the contractors or with the
concern which bought the govern

In response to a suggestion from
