others i'll defense published III the

The statement by Mr. Free included
a letter dated February -. 1928. pre-
pared by former Senator Lenroot, Re-

Secretary a clean bill Of health and re-
ferrsd TO the charges as part of polltl-

The letter from former Ambassador
De Cartier read rs follows:
August 20, 1927.
Dear Hoover:
Il have been aStonished to hear mis-
statements with regard to your con-
nection with the Chinese Engineering
& Mining Co. which operated In the
Kaiping mines during the period when
I was Belgian charge d'atfaires in
China.
"As SUCH I looked after the very
large Belgian interests in that enter
prise and had personal knowledge of
all the facts relating to the transfer
of the property. some of which led sub
seuuently to litigation in the English
courts.
Praises Hoover.
"Ihrouchout your administration of
the company'S affairs, both as chief
engineer and director. you acted con-
ccdcdly for the best interest of all the
stockholders -- Chinese. Belgian and
English alike-with the highest sense
Of honor. and the termination of the
tltlEuIlpl WIS ~ CpIilplttt
Of your conduct and largely turned
upon your testimony
The best proof of this lies in the
fact that the Bcleians interested in
these properties were the very men
who called upon You TO come to the
assistance of their country in its cX-
trcmitv
VERY sincerely yours.
DE CARTIER"
Mr.. Train in his letter said:
'"The only person in position to
complain of Mr.. Hoover's conduct or
testimony in the case were the British
and Belgian groups, against whom his
testimony lay.
"Yct these same British groups, all
Of them engaged his enginecing scrv-

group were identical men who appealed
