CHAMBERLAIN NOTE

KeIIogg's Failure to Visit Eng

! Nv rah'e 10 The star.
| LONDON, August 25.--CharGing that
purported letter from Sir Austen
! Chamberlain to M. BRAND on the
question of the Anglo-French naval
treaty is a forgery, the British foreign
/ office today officially denied that any
such communication had ever been e%~
! changed.
Al first when a large group Of news
papermen applied for Official comment
on the alleged letter, 1t was stated
| that there was grave doubt as to It's
authenticity but that in the absence
If fhc text. no official denial was pos
siblc.
a correspondent handed to the
rorripn office tho actual text Of the
letter, with the explanation that 1t
had not been published and would not
he published without evidence Of It's
authenticity The foreign office imn1e-
diatelv requested time for conSldtIf,-
ton of the document, and 'ater gave
out the following statement.
The copy of the letter III question

In the fanfare of publicity over the
signing of the Kellogg peace pact III
Paris. only one Earring note Is heard.
That however, is a severe Jar. 1t takes
the form of a remarkable dispatch to
the London Times from its Washington
correspondent 10 which the Times gives
its largest headlines.
This well informed and cautious OBJ
server declares that all evidence avail
able in Washington points to the TACT
that Kcllogg's decisions not to discuss
the Anglo-French naval agreement IN
Europe and not to come to London are
IN direct relation; that in the back
ground lie definite instructions IRON
President Coolidge"
The dispatch concludes that 'it Is
astonishing that little or no speculation
upon the subject has appeared IN the
press.
What the Times representative con-
veys is that the United States Is angry
at the secret Anglo-French agreement
and Is showing its displeaSure by the
Secretary OF States pointed cancellation
of his plans to visit London. and in this
connection his extremely close contact
with the Canadian Premier, his refer
erCeS 10 the Canadian war effort ana
his visit to Ireland but not to England
are arousing quiet comment IN London.
Press Helps Government.
As always. when a situation is scri-
ously embarrassing the British govern
ment, the press is almost unanimously
helping the authorities by silence or By
accepting the explanation put forward.
How much longer the muzzle can be
Kept on is doubtful and 1t would not be
surprising. in view Of Chamberlain s
illness, If Premier Baldwin returned
shortly from his holiday in France TO
deaf with the naval situation personally.
Sir Austin, 1t is said, is planning To
leave England the middle of next week
for a tour which will carry him to
California on a visit. It is believed
that he will leave Liverpool next Thurs
day. His wife and two children VIII
accompany him.
