Accepting the challenge to make pubiic the date of receipts of the Zinovieff letter made to the Govern- mert by the press hostile to it, Mr. MacDonald declared that the letter had been received by the foreign of- fice on October 10, the date of the dissolution of Parliament. Only nine days elapsed between the receipt of the document and the answer, he said Stressing the fact that the matter had been handled in the brierest pos- sible time, the premier asserted that in “the old days” the foreign office would have taken weeks to deal with the situation Mr. MacDonald declared vocally that the British would not brook interference from any foreign power.

October 27.—Foreign of- Is today received from Rzakovsky, Soviet Russian charge daffaires, in London, and sent immediately to Prime Minister Mac- Donald, who is campaigning in Car- diff, the note from the Soviet gov- ernment denying the authenticity of the alleged Zinovieff letter and in- isting on an apology. The Russian communication was signed by Maxim Litvinoff, assistant commissar for for- eign affairs. Foreign office officials would not comment on the note beyond to re- iterate their statement that they are in possession of facts which prove the authenticity of the Zinovieff let- ter and that they are prepared to publish these facts when such a step becomes necessary. The reference in the Litvinoff note to Russia’s demand for an apology and for punishment by the British j government of persons involved in the affair is considered undiplo- matic and ‘to have been introduced unfortunately early in the present discussion.

N. 0. MESSENG Staff Correspondent of Ve Star. NEW YORK, October 27.—This the week when the political cross their fingers against the jinx as they sally forth, for it is the week when the “burchards” bioom, when the political rd quacks all bad luck is likely to happen to a fellow It is the week of the “big brag.” fgg now is the time the re- spective managers make their tallest SR, leaders can; and also claims of victory, each trying to out | boast the other. . And it happens that it is going to witness the most intensive “drive” by the three parties of the campaign, the scene being New York and New Jersey. 1t might be asked why all this furor and frenzy if all parties were as sure of victory they claim, to which they answer, “oh, just to make certain.” Drives in New York. John W. Davis is to make a drive for New Jersey and later in greater New York: La Follette is to tackle Brooklyn, Gov. Smith and Col. Roose- velt are to wrestle for the city vote on the governorship, and hundreds of minor speakers are to harangue the neighborhood until the face. Naturally the eves of the country will be turned to New York and New Jersey, for it is realized that the carrying of these two States in the presidential election is necessary to vietory. Davis is classed by the poli- ticians as having made some gains in York, but no one except the mosc partisian Democrat thinks they have been sufficient to imperil the long lead which President Coolidge has been building up daily through the preceding months, and the same applies to New Jersey. Solid Row for Coolidge. There is that solid row of Cool- idge States backed up in New Eng- land which will march down and joining New York and New Jersey, sweep up Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Ilinois and Michigan, in the full e pectation of the Republican man- agers, and the prediction of most po- litical observers who have visited them, and then reach out for the Western States which are expected to put Coolidge over with a substan- tial majority of the electoral college. In the fight over the governorship, Col. Roosevelt has a heart-breaking | task before him to try to break into this tremendous Tammany vote. Gov. Smith claims for himself a lead in the five boroughs of 520,000. He could give Col. Roosevelt the stay- at-home vote which Gov. Miller missed two years ago and then beat Roosevelt in the State by 200,000, so the Democrats feel they are on easy street and the governor was never more optimistic in his life. Showing for La Follette. 1f it is asked what Senator La Fol- lette is doing projecting around the East in the face of the certainty that he cannot win the electoral vote of New York and New Jersey, the an- swer is that he is trying to make a showing of third party strength for cripple the Republicans as much as possible. Many Republicans think tha returns will show the La Follette th to have een very vemestimated, while the opinion among Democratic leaders is that he il surprise them all”” While the candidates and workers of the re- Spective parties are to fill the air with sound and fury this week, it is notable how calm the populace seems to be without outward evi- dence of taking unusual interest in the campaign. The impression given ls that of an electorate which has already made up its mind. {VALERA' IN BELFAST JAIL. Irish Republican Leader Entered Ulster Against Orders.
