LONDON,- December 8

Sir W. Joynson-Hieks: I am afraid it could not be the basis of a treason prosecution. I do %ot think: it would lose a British subject his rights. Commander Kenworthy: Did you see the photographs of Sir Austen Chamberlain giving the Fascist salute in Italy? Sir W. Joynson-Hieks: I wish you would send me a copy for my scrapbook.
