Imbued With "Petticoated
Aristocratic Ideas" of Brit
ain, SakIatvaIa Asserts.
HOPES TO VISIT ANYWAY;
WOULD RESPECT LAWS
1nfammatory Speeches of Com.
munist Caused Ban on Attending
Parliamentary Gathering.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 17.-Shapurji
Saklatvala, Communist member of
Parliament, barred from the United
States as a member of the British
delegation to the interparliamentary
conference in Washington, blames
Secretary of State kellogg for his
troubles.
Formally notified this morning that
his passport visa had been revoked,
the Communist member of Parliament
said that Mr.. Kellogg, through his
association with British peers and
others of their class while serving as
Ambassador in London. had become
'imbued with petticoated aristocratic
ideas of Great Britain to such an ex-
tent that he still clings to them, even
in America"
Mr.. Saklalvala expressed the opin-
ion that the Secretary of State by his
cancellation of the visa had violated
constitutional practices as we'll as the
laws regulating the working Of the
nterparliamentary conference, and
had "disregarded the ordinary laws
of political decency."
AFRAID OF 1ruth! He ASKS.
The Americans" he added, agreed
to act rs my host. and yet at the last
moment / am refused admission to
the country. Can 1t be that the Amer
leans are afraid of the truth being
known there. and took action on this
account?
Il had no intention of carrying on
do in ha nj
and intended TO respect the laws and
the Constitution in every particular.
If the American Government desired
to be fair and just it should have al
lowed me to enter the country and
then referred the question Of my par
ticipation In the conference to the
official council of the Interparliamen
tary Union. If the council should
have decided against my participa-
ton that would seem quite different
matter
Politically" he remarked, Il am
a much disappointed man."
In an interview later given the Eve
ming Standard Mr.. Saklatvala said:
II shall still try to go to America. OF
course / cannot go Saturday, but l am
convinced that the American people
will discover that Secretary Kellogg
Is not acting rightly, and / do not
doubt that shall get my wise. I shall
not try to enter the United States.
through Canada"
Drops Business Connection.
Mr. Saklatvala also announced his
resignation from the firm of Tata,
Ltd, East Indian traders, whose cot
ton mills department he has managed
for several years. He gave as his rea-
son that the recent publicity of his
political activities and views might
have a tendency to hinder the COM
pany's business.
Fred Madison. secretary of the In
terparliamentary Union today said the
British delegation was prepared to
start for Washington on Saturday and
that the dropping of any particular
member would not upset the arrange

refugees have arrived at Zakho from
the Goyan district of Mosul, all in a
destitute condition. The authorities

1t is estimated that 5000 Goyan
Christians have been forcibly turned

made it clear that this inquiry will
not interfere with the calling OF
Mitchell as a witness either before the
Shenandoah inquiry or the President s
special aircraft board.
The inquiry into the disaster will
furnish an opportunity for the Navy
Department to question Col. Mitchell
so as to develop precisely what he did
charge in connection with this case
and what proof he has to offer. At
the same time the department will be
in position then to reply.
While Col. Mitchell undoubtedly will
be called before the President S special
board, it is not likely that that board,
charged as it is with a general in
quiry. will go into the details of the
Shenandoah disaster to the extent
that it might develop from the Army
officer in full detail his charges.
