King ApplaudsWork of CrownForces in Erin

Tells Parliament ThatHe Deplores Efforts ofa Few Subjects to SeverIreland From the Empire

Sees Hope in Home RulePoints to Unemployment as

"Darkest Cloud"; WantsTrade With Russia BegunLONDON, Dec. 23 (By The Associated

press).__The King's speech on the oc¬

casion of the proroguing of Parliamentat midnight to-night, after referenceto the continued friendly relations withforeign powers, alluded to the Greek jdifficulty, and declared that the gov-jernment would, in conjunction with theAllies, endeavor to reach a solutioncompatible with their joint responsibil¬ities.The situation with respect to Russia

was described as still unsettled andobscure, and the King expressed thehope that trade would shortly recom¬mence with Russia and lead to an eraof peace, greatly needed by the suffer¬ing people of Eastern Europe.

Puts Hope in the League"It is of the highest importance," the

speech contii.ued, "that Poland and heri.eighbors should compose their politi¬cal differences and devote their undi¬vided energies to producing internalstability and to the task of economicreconstruction."The distribution of the mandates and

other work of the Assembly of theLeague of Nations were taken up, andthe Aseembly was declared to have"shown its sense of the importance ofincluding all nations in its membershipby admitting two late enemies."

"It is my earnest hope," added theKing, "that the spirit of harmony andgood-will manifested at the Assemblyis an augury of the value of the leagueas a force making for conciliation andpeace throughout the world."

.The King referred with gratificationto the succès of the Prince of Wales's Iimperial tour and regretted that theprince was not able to inaugurate newcouncils in India. The promise wasgiven that the government would makeevery effort to reduce expenditures.

Conditions in IrelandDealing with the subject of Ireland»the King said:"The state of affairs in Ireland

grieves me profoundly. I deplore thecampaign of violence and outrage,whereby a small section of my subjectsseek to sever Ireland from the empireand I sympathize with the loyal serv¬ants of the Crown who are endeavor-ing to restore peace and maintain orderunder conditions of unexampled dim-culty and danger.

"It is my most earnest hope that allsections of the people of Ireland willinsist upon a return to constitutionalmethods, which alone can put an endto the terrible events, which threatenruin to that country, and make possi-ble reconciliation and a lasting peace."Then, announcing briefly the passage!of the home rule bill, the King con-1tinued:

"I sincerely hope that this act, the!fruit of more than thirty years ofceaseless controversy, will finally bringabout unity and friendship between allthe peoples of my kingdom."The King concluded by recountingthe measures passed during the courseof the Parliamentary session. He re¬ferred to unemployment as the darkestcloud on the horizon, springing lessfrom internal causes than from con¬traction of the export trade, arisingout of the poverty of other nations andtheir inability to secure credits. The;government, he said, was giving unre¬mitting attention to this problem.

IL S. Wiïl AskBritish ExplainLetter on Cable

Breach of Diplomatie Cour¬tesy Seen in Action of Em¬bassy in Dealing WithKellogg on Censorship

Davis Requests the Note

Britain Believed to HaveReasonable Explanationfor Method of Procedure

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23 (By The As¬sociated Press")..Official cognizancewas taken to-day by the Stf.te Depart¬ment of the action of the British Em¬bassy in writing directly to ChairmanKellogg of the Senate committee isi-vertigating cable communications, de¬fying testimony of witnesses that theBritish authorities imposed a censor¬

ship on cable snessages coming to theUnited States from Great Britain.At the department's request, Senator

Kellogg sent to acting Secretary Davisa copy of the Embassy's letter, togetherwith a transcript of the testimony ofofficials of American cable cosnpaniesthat a censorship was imposed. Mr.Davis, who returned to his office latoto-day after an absence of several dayson account of illness, conferred withAssistaBit Secretary Merle-Ssnith, incharge of Western European affairs,and Solicitor Fred K. Neilson. At thattime, however, the letter from SenatorKellogg had not reached the de¬partment.

Officials declined to discuss the inci-dent, but it was indicated that the Em-bassy would be asked for an explana-tion of what was regarded as a breachof diplomatic courtesy. A similarcourse was followed recently when r.

Julio Biai3chi, the Guate3ualan Min-I ister, took up directly with SenatorMoses, of New Hampshire, u discussionof the Senator's resolution asking theState Department for Í3vformation con¬cerning the detention of ex-PresidentCabrera by the present authorities inGuatemala.

May Have Reasonable ExcuseIt was made clear, however, that the

two incidents were not regarded aswithin the same category as one dealtwith contemplated action by the legis¬lative branch of the governmentwhereas the other had oi3ly to do withaB3 effort to correct what was regardedby the Embassy as eri'oneous informa¬tion yhich had been given to a Senateco3i3333ittee in the course of a hearing.

Officials also indicated their beliefthat there was some reasonable ex¬planation of the Embassy's action ii3dealing directly with Senator Kellogginstead of through the State Depart¬ment us in the usually accepted pro¬cedure.Neither the embassy's letter nor that

written by Senator Kellogg to Mr.Davis was ii3ade public. The formerwas understood to have been signed byR. Leslie Craige, first secretary of theembassy, and it was dispatched after apublic statement had been made at theembassy that such a communicationwould be sent. Inclosed with the em-bassy's letter was a newspaper dispatchprinted in this cou33try quoting a high'official of Scotland Yard ns denyingthat there was a ceBisorship on cable¬grams originating in the British Islesfor the United States.

Wanted Answer on ChargeDespite this denial. Senator Kellogg

in his letter to Secretary Davis askedthe State Department to inquire of theembassy whether a censorship existedas testified to by Newcomb Carlton,president of the Western Union Tele-graph Company, and John Goldham-mer, secretary of the CommercialCable Company.

While this incident was under con¬sideration by department officials, an-nouncement was made that the inci¬dent of the call of Dr. Bianchi onSenator Moses had been closed, "¡biview of the Minister's explanation andapology."

In a communication to the depart¬ment Minister Bianchi sad it had beenhis intention when he called upon Sen¬ator Moses merely to explain the policyof his government in the imprisonmentof Dr. Cabrera and to exonerate him¬self. He said he had not commentedupon the pol cy cf the United Statesnor that of th© American Legation inGuatemala, adding that he regrettedthe incident and promised that it wouldnot be repeated.
