UNTRUE "INTERWEW"
HURTS HIGH PRIEST
DR.. Pavry, Formerly Columbia U.
Student, Now in India,
Denies Statements.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 23.-The New
York World has found that farewell
interview with DR.. Jal Dastur c.
Pavry, a Columbia graduate, given
on the day he sailed for his home, in
Bombay, India. to succeed his father
as high priest of the Parsees. and
printed on December 29, 1925, was
erroneous.
DR.. Pavry was quoted as saying,
in part, that he would like to marry
one of your American girls-but
cannot, you know" and "it pains my
heart to leave this country-your
Manhattan-thisw wondrous isle of blue
eyed maidens, where all is beautiful" !"
The paper investigated when friends
Of DR.. Pavry wrote from Bombay,
denying the statements and the inter-
view. They asserted that the pub
lication in India has seriously injured
DR.. Pavry in his reputation and
credit.
The World says it obtained the in
formation upon which the article was
based from sources it deemed to be
reliable and published it in good faith.
Upon receipt of nr. Pavry's com
plaint," it said, IAN investigation
was made which shows that the
World was misinformed and in error
with respect to the statements COM
planned of and that the pretended
farewell interview never took place."
DIR. Pavry spent four years at Co
lumbia and earned a degree of doctor
of philosophy.

Factors which had helped Germany,
he said, were the English coal strike,

Germany by this country.
President Coolidge's July 4th dec
laration, which in effect told the Eu.
ropean powers that they must get
together in a peaceful way or the
United States would not help them,
according to the German ambassador,
resulted in the bringing together of
Premier BRAND of France and For
eign Minister Stresemann of Ger

suits of this meeting, Baron Won
Nathan said, may include the with
drawal of French troops from the
Rhine.

happens. Nobody can say Mhen it
will take place." the ambassador said.
The German amba ssador made no
