Tilt With Britain

Publishes Records Of
Diplomatic Clash

A round d-by-round description of
word battle between the American
Secretary of State and the British
Foreign Secretary which put a Sc
we're strain on relations between the
two countries Is years ago but turned
out to be almost literally much ado
about nothing" was published by
the State Department today.
The dispute concerned procedure
for settling claims for damages by
American citizens against Great
Britain that arose mainly from Brit
lsh naval action during this coun-
try's period of neutrality before en-
tering the first World War The
State Department had 1858 such
claims on file in 1926 but when CO.
operative investigation finally was
arranged only IL were found to have
any merit -a and these were more
than offset by claims waived by the
British against the United States.
Publica ton of two volumes of dip
lomatic records for 1926 also showed
that in sharp contrast to present
policy. the State Department in that
year opposed the floating of a Ger
man loan here to finance German
exports to Russia but could not
justify any objection to direct loan
for the German state of Prussia.
Suggested L. S. Investigation.
The claims controversy with the
British was brought to fever heat
by British Foreign Secretary Sir
Austen Chamberlain temporary
rejection of a plan Of Secretary of
State Frank B. Kellogg to send a
special representative to London to
go over records there pertaining to
the damage claims, on most of which
the departments information was
too incomplete for Mr.. Kellogg to
judge their merit.
On June 4, 1926, Sir Austen told
Ambassador Alanson B.
Houghton he did not understand
why the special representative
should go to London then unless
perhaps on fishing excursion
Il am wholly unable to under
stand either Chamberlain's language
or his attitude" Mr. Kellogg cabled

said if the British did not want to

Department. was sent TO London to
check the British records on the
claims and Secretary kellogg re-
ceived a report that the BRAIN

are to have cleanup"
Mr.. Phenix reported in November
that he was surprised at finding
only II of the cases on file were

many of them already had been
settled and there appeared no basis
for many others. A few weeks later
the offset arrangement was agreed
upon. with "a possible total of

with New York banking firm re-
