Letters of protest from various Americans, accusing the British Government and the British Ambassador (Sir Esme Howard) personally, of wilfully preventing the proposed Roosevelt big game hunting expedition into Turkestan, have deluged the British Embassy here since it became known that the India Office refused permission tV ,'t-he party to enter Turkestan through the Hunza Pass. The Embassy officials are dismayed over what is termed by them a widespread misconception of the reasons why an entrance by the 'Hunza Pass was refused to the Roosevelt expedition. A large Swedish party used the Hunza Pass this year. They employed all the native bearers available. It is contended that the expeditions which are undermanned would be a great danger in the wild lands of. Turkestan. Permission was denied because the India Office felt mi rally responsible for the safety of all expeditions into unknown lands. My Roosevelt’s party have been advised that they can enter by some other pass.
