Brookhart in a state- ment declares that Secretary Hughes' letter to Mr. Gompers in reference to the Russlan situation is in no sense an answer to the information he presented to the Sccretary on his recent return from Burope. Senfllul“ Brookhart says: “Secretary Hughes' létter to Mr. Gompers in reference to Russian recognition is in no sense an answer to the proposition which I presented to the secretary and makes no refer- ence to it whatever, and is no indi- cation whatever that he will not act favorably upon the matter. which I resented to him. P eme Cof Cthe propositions in the letters to Mr. Gompers - were dis- cussed by us, but I simply presented to him the Russian view as it was given to me. For instance, upon the Question of propaganda the Russians that we have put out ten timcs - of it against them than they cver against us and recognition end it both war. th ion of debts the Russians say are perfectly will- ing to acknowledge their debt, but that we sent two armies into their country which gave moral aid and assistance to the counter-revolution- ists and we also sent arms and am- | munition in government owned ships which werc used to Kill their people and destroy their property, and, therefore, they say they have a claim ugulnst us just as valid as the claim of Trance against Germany and when that is recognized they will even recognize the old czar debts. “In so far as these matters were dis- cussed between Secretary Hughes and myself they are wholly incident- al and did not relate to the main propusition which I presented to{ him.” KENYA CASE RULING BLOWTO INDIANS Britain Compromises Easti Airican Dispute in Favor of Natives. ! | 1 LONDON, July In a pariiamen- § paper issued last night the gov- ment communicates its decision on { long-disputed question of thel status of Tndians in Kenya colony. !
