Accusations that the British gov- ernment and its Ambassador her, Sir Esme Howard, are willfully prevent- | ing the Roosevelt big game hunting expedition into Turkestan have pour- ed into the embassy here from various Americans, The letters of protest started soon after it became known that the India office of the London government had refused permission | for the party to enter Turkestan | through Hunza Pass. | It was pointed out that a large| Swedish expedition of 65 members already has used the pass, and had employed all the native bearers avail- able in that part of India. Under- maned expeditions, it was explained, in great danger, as food and facilities are scarce. Permission to Theodore and Kermit was refused, it| was said, because the India office felt morally responsible for all expedi- tions passing through. The Roosevelts have been advised, it is understood, to enter Turkestan by some other pass or postpone their trip for a year. Further information on the subject s being awaited from London. . L. C.
