ANGLO-AMERICAN ANGELL ESTATE MYSTERY.

ARBITRATION.

YEAR'S DELAY IN NEGOTIA. TION.

VICAR AND A CHURCH REGISTER ENTRY

An interesting discovery, which may have some connection with the elaims to the £80,000,000 Angeli,{ estate in South "Landan" has been made in the register of the Bittle village church at Stokenham near Toreroes, South Devon.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21st. The United Press to-day learned that the State Department, after somewhat over a year's delay since the opening of negotiations, bax

The Angell estate comprises an extensive ares of property in South Notes have been exchanged dur-London, and the annual rent-roll ing the course of the past week.

The United States took the initiative in attempting to speed up the negotiations, and inquired as to the reasons for delay. It is understood that impatience WLS made manifest."

Great Britain's reply did not gr plain the delay, except to say that the Foreign Office had not received reports as yet from all the Dominions

An entry has been found at the bottom of a right-hand page of the register as follows:-

Vicar's Statement..

On the left hand page "opposite the entry, however, is a declaration signed by the vicar, the Rev. Alarie Davya, and attested by "the two churchwardens that the entry was not seen by them when the vicir

teenth century, was made with a steel pen and not a quill as would have been used in those daya.

It is the understanding of State Department authorities that Great Britain desires to exempt the "British Monroe Doctrine from the realm of arbitrational matters. This appears to have been made plain by Sir Austen Chamberlain, British Secretary for Foreign Affairs, through his explanation during the Anti-Wor Treaty "negotiations. At that time, Sir Austen warned that the pact must not be permitted to prejudice British freedom of action in cer tain regions of the world. The in tegrity of these regions, constitute a vital interest for British peace and safety, the Secretary said. ··

A similar delay exists with re- ference to negotiations with Japan, although it is considered that this has been satisfactorily explained by the preparationi for the ip- proaching coronation of the Em peror Hirohito, as well as by the recent change of Japanese Ambas- andors to Washington which result ed in arrival last week of Ambas- sador K. Debuchi.

The United States is expected be- fore long to have a series of cou- versations between State Depart ment authorities and the British and Japanese Arrbassadors in this connection.
