PHILLIPS AFFAIR
DENIAL BY LORD-HALIFAX NEW YORK, September 2. The British' Ambassador, Lord Halifax, severely took to task those "in responsible quarters" who are making statements about the resignation of Mr. William Phillips without first taking steps to verify the facts, says the, "New York Herald-Tribune's" Washington correspondent. . In language unusually strong for any diplomat, and particularly for Lord Halifax, wher \is not. easily aroused, the British Ambassador is said to have denied the reports that Mr. Phillips was returning because he had been declared persona non grata in India. Lord Halifax said it was regrettable that assertions should be made which were quite untrue and which must gravely mislead the public. He added that he hoped they would not be repeated. * j Lord Halifax said it was untrue that the British Government ever challenged the right of any Government representative of the United States to I report freely to the President or the I United States Government.
