NAZI FAIRY TALE

RELATIONS BETWEEN BRITAIhi & AMERICA. MR CORDELL HULL’S DENIAL. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. WASHINGTON, March 15. The Secretary of State. Mr Cordell Hull, plainly angered, denied Berlin reports that the British Government’s relations with the United States Ambassador in London. Mr J. P. Kennedy, had cooled because of a confidential report he had allegedly given the United States Government. "This is clearly intended to bo a trouble-making story.” Mr Hull said. "It is wholly unsupported by any fuels." In an interview in London. Mr Kennedy described the German statements as "the best fairy tale since I read ■Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,”’ a radio message reports. The Nazis alleged that Mr Kennedy’s report "blamed the British Government for diplomatic blunders, especially the guarantee to Poland, which led to the difficulties in which the Western Powers now find themselves." Mr Kennedy. it was alleged, also doubted the efficiency of the British blockade and stressed losses from Gorman countermeasures. Finally came the biggest lie. that there was pessimism among leading City men and the upper classes, "who fear that a long war will weaken their leadership in public life."
