A FORGERY.
ANGLO-FRENCH LETTER. PROMINENCE IN AMERICA. (united pbbss association— by elzctbic tblegbaph^-copybight.) (Received August 27th, 7.5 p.m.) LONDON, August 26. The newspapers are featuring the British Foreign Office's announcement that a sensational document, purporting to be a letter from Sir Austen Chamberlain to M. Briand anent FrancoBritish co-operation on sea and in the air, which has been given prominence in the American Presß, is a forgery. The letter, which was cabled from London to New York, purported lengthily to set forth that Anglo-French cooperation in the Pacific and the Far East was a necessity, $s well as urging a consultation between Anglo-French military air experts for joint action in future disputes. According to New York messages received in London to-night, the affair has caused a sensation. The Foreign Office asserts that there was no communication even remotely conveying the sense suggested. The "Daily Express" points out that any strong feeling that may be aroused in America by the Anglo-French agreement may result in Senate wrecking the Peace Pact just as it wrecked America's participation in the League in 1920.—Australian Press Association.
