-.aad other ministers hare publicly ad-
mitted that if the document ia fnn-
roe and really represented the offldal
. v Russian views it would disable those

treaty.
A t The colonial minister J. Thomas
' vT'spaaklnc at Manchester Sunday said
1 fce did not know whether the docn-
t aeat was a forgery bnt the action of
"' the government showed that the labor
. " -party was not afraid to take its stand
.' and aay to the Russians: "If this is
-your policy we want to make it dear
rbere we are."
. Premier MacDonald apeni Sunday

with the foreign office and the mem-
bers of his cabinet Be is expected
to ssake the Zinovieff letter and its
consequences the chief subject of bia
speech at Cardiff Monday.
Ia the meantime labor headquar-
ters has Untied another statement
denying current assertions that the
alleged Zinovieff letter was discussed
by the cabinet or that it was inter-
cepted in the post photographed and
delivered to the communists in the or-
dinary way. The statement also denies
that anv instructions were sent to the
h i labor csndidates not to discuss the
Bnasian treaty.
J "The foreign office." it adds "con-
aiders the document authentic. Charge
; AaTaires Kakorskj says it is a
forgery and obviously this issue can
Hot be finally settled one way or the
other until after -the elections.
Pointing out the singularity that
the document was In tbe possession

i. headquarters before it was issued by
j1'. argues that tbe action of tbe govern-
I Bient proves it is not under tbe heel
of the communists and it invites the
conservative lenders and the Daily

f reveal bow tbey came into possession
I of the document.
Zinovieff Denies
Writing Letter
LONDON. Oct. 26. In a message
forwarded to the British trade union
congress M. Zinovieff declare that
the document dated August 15 at-
tributed to bim is a "gross falsifica-
tion." The document in question is
the letter received by tbe central
'committee of the British commun-
ist party Bigned by Zinovieff and
given out for publication by the Brit-
ish government October 24.
"There was not and could not be
any such letter" ssys Zinovieffs
message. "The fabrication is so crude
that no one. not even a too literate
' official of the British foreign office
but could see its falsity.
"It seems that the laurels of Mr.
Hughes are being divided by some one
.. in England. It ia absolutely manifest
that we have in this case a too-dear
election maneuver.
. Soviet Is Indignant
At British Protest
MOSCOW Oct. 26. Responding to
tae note of protest from the British
' foreign office eoneernimr the nllereH
' letter of M. Zinovieff. president of
the executive of the communist inter-
national urging propaganda for the
overthrow of existing institutions in
tireat Britain the soviet government
in a sharp note dixnatrhed lste Hun-
day afternoon denies the authenticity
of the letter.
The note seeks to obtsin sn anolorv
for the propaganda activities imputed
to the soviet government and pro-
. poses the establishment of an arbitral
committee to u upon merits of the
so-called Zinovieff letter. The soviet
government has telegraphed Christian
) Rokovsky. tbe Russian charge d'af-
. faires in Ixndon repudiating the let-
ter. The soviet official are indignant
that the British note of protest trans-
mitted through tbe soviet delegation
in London last Friday night was
signed by J. B. Gregory who ia de-
scribed as an "under-official" of the
. British foreign office instead of by
Premier MacDnnuld. This they re-
. gard as nn affront to the soviet re-
public.

WASHINGTON Oct 26. The

of $230 for delivering s patriotic

ment declared. "Who can not fail to
classify such a traassctioa as a sordid
indifference to the memory of the

"Can the American people imagine
Lincoln Roosevelt or Wilson exact-
ing a fee from soldiers or sailors for
delivering s memorial address!" the
committee's statement naked "Yet
Mr. Coolidge after a period of hag-
gling declined to go for his mere ex-
penses although he waa in Massa

address at a memorial aervice for

"President Coolidae'a attitude to

but be contrasted with the fine

"In tbst veto message he said 'pa

CHICAGO Oct 2. The general
art of alibiing has become obsolete at
Northwestern University since It be
came known that Professor George O.
Curiae of the department of physi
ology haa been late to his 8 o'clock
class but once in the last 43 yeara.
This one garing blot on Frofes
sor Cnrme'a otherwise lily-white rec
ord was caused by a blixxard 12 yeara
ago which forced him to walk several
miles to bia class. Since that time
the weather has been more orderly
and can not be used as an alibi for
the student whose alarm clock didn't
work.
Professor Curme explains his envi-
able record on the grounds that he
has 'never been sick and that he
lovea his work.
