Washington, Aug, 24.

In a letter to the Morning Post, referring to an article appearing therein quoting an interview in which he is reported by the London representative of a Japanese nows-| paper as having expressed cortain opinions about the political rela- tions of Great Britain with Japan and Manchukuo, Lord Barnby says he feels that some misunderstund- ing must have prisen nbout the matter.

The Mission which I shall have the honour of leading to Japan and Manchukuo is not concerned in any way with political questions which are entirely outsido Ita:scope.

NOT QUALIFIED.

"Neither am I personally qualified to express any opinion on political questions affecting the relations of Great Britain with other countries.

"I feel it is right to make this quite clear in order to avoid any misinterpretation of the objects of the Mission which is proceeding to the Far East.
