GT. BRITAIN
WILL NOT GIVE
SAFE CONDUCT
•
International New* Service.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—Secre
tary of State Lansing announces that i
Britain has refused to guarantee safe !
conduct to Count Tarnowski, the new
ly appointed ambassador of Austria
to the United States. The secretary
makes this official statement without
comment.
It is understood in official circles
that Great Britain stands ready to
extend the courtesy of 3afe conduct
to any diplomatic representatives of
a neutral nation who is compelled to '
pass the blackade on official business
but refuses to aid the enemy by as
sisting an enemy ambassador to un
dertake his work in a neutral coun
try. The uttitude of Great Britain
is that the presence of Count Torn
jwiskl in Washington would work in
jury to the entente allies and that j
no failure to observe the rights of
neutrals follows a refusal of such |
saf^ conduct.
The state department requested [
Great Britain to give Coutn Torn
owiski the courtesy of a safe conduct.
