Story of How Famous Pro-
test to Soviet Became
Public Is Published.

By the Associated Press
LONDON, March "a new chapter
In the so-callcd "Zinovieff letter sensa-
tion." which was credited with defeat
ing the Macdonald Labor government
in 1924 and which recently cropped up
again in Parliament and the press
through dismissal Of employees Of the
foreign Office. will open here tomorrow.
when the Sunday Observer will print
a long letter purporting to show how
the now famous missiye first became
public. 4&
Thomas MARROW. formerly editor of
the Daily Mail. is the author Of the
letter to the Observer s< One Of the
constantly recurring questions IN the
sem!-public discussions Of the incident
is how the Daily Mail obtained pos
session of the letter and speculation
concerning its appearance at the psy-
Geological moment when the Macdonald
government was facing q general
election.
Protest to Soviet.
The "zinovier incident" involved a
protest 10 the Soviet government against
the alleged communication to British
Communists by Gregory S. Zinovie6.
advocating that a Social revolution he
fomented in England. The commission
which recently recommended dismissal
OF J. D, Gregory. assistant undersscre-
tary Of state. after finding that he was
involved in speculation in foreign eX-
change. cleared him of any ulterior mo-
tive in signing the letter ''in the alb
Scence Of the secretary of state" and
found that Sir Eyre Grove had taken
full responsibility for the sending Of
the protest.
Marlowe writes the Observer that he
first heard OF the letter, which was pub
lished In the London Press on Satur-
day. October IS, 1924. on the preceding
Wednesday evening when he found
message on his desk from an "old and
trusted friend" The message read
There Is n document in London which
YOU ought TO have: II shows the rela-
tons between the Bolsheviks and Brit
ish Labor leaders. The prime minister
tthen Ramsay MacDonaldl knows all
about 1t, but Is trying to avoid publica-
ton, 1t has been circulated today to
The foreign once, home Office. admiralty
and the war Office"
Received Two Copies
Marlows relates how to put himself in
communication with other friends. with
the result that on Friday two separate
copies of the letter were obtained. one
personally delivered by friend and the
other coming by mail
Marlowe says he communicated cop
les to other London papers and init
mates that the coming Of this TO the
ears OF the foreign Office decided Sir
Eyre Grove TO publish the documents
officially. The editor exonerates Greg
Dry.
MarloVe contends that but for his
action publication of the Ziaoyied letter
would have been DELAYED until after the
election 10 avoid harm Ia the Mac
Donald government
He concludes his letter with the opin-
ION that publication Of the miSSivc had
an effect uncqualed In the whole his
tory OF general elections. saying. No
single event that have ever heard os
has produced such a direct and definite
reaction In the public mind"
