The Acting-Secretary of State, Mr. Cotton, today expressed the view that the intention of Rear-Admiral Byrd not to claim the Antarctic lands he has discovered was not to be considered binding upon the American Government. A mesage from New York says the Washington correspondent of the New York “Times” says: It is believed that Britain has the best-established claim to the Falkland Islands dependencies.
