Foreign Diplomats May Fight Duel In Embassy In Canada
Recd. 8.20p.m. Ottawa, June 8. The Consul-General of the Dominican Republic, Senor Julio Ricart, has challenged Dr. Carlos Rodriguez, Argentine Ambassador to Canada, to a duel. Senor Ricart explained that he made some pleasantry about dogs and Mrs. Rodriguez made what he thought was an offensive answer. A few days later the Argentine Ambassador did not invite him to a party. “It meant a double offence, one to me personally and one to my country. I therefore have called upon the Argentine Ambassador to answer me on the field of honour.” Senior Ricart added that he had not yet received a reply from Dr. Rodriquez but the duel woul probably take place in the Argentine Embassy "because technically we would be outside Canada.”
