ANTI-BRITISH TALK
DENIED BY AMERICAN AMBASSADOR WRONG IMPRESSION GIVEN. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) NEW YORK, November 29. The Ambassador to Great Britain. Mr. J. P. Kennedy, in a statement said: "I am told that there is some gossip in London to the effect that I am making anti-British statements in this country, that. I am even saying that I do not expect the British to win the war. This is nonsense. "I have never made anti-British statements or said on or off the record that I do not expect Britain to win the war. I have never made any statement which I did not make to four or five members of the British Cabinet before I left London. "What I am concerned with is keeping America out of the war, but that has never been a secret. I have been constantly asked. ‘Do you think England will win or lose the war?’ How could anyone know unless they knew what the strength of Germany is? Ido not know what the strength of Ger many is.” Mr. Kennedy said he was extremely sorry that such an impression had cropped up in England.
