Asked if there was likely to be say further action, Mr. Lawrence said, in effect, that he had made a frank con. fassion and the matter had ended.

"I was handled back my passport after I had told all 1 knew, and surely this would never have occurred if the authorities had intended arresting

me."

When I suggested that he might be held for high treason he laughed nervously at the thought. He did not deny that in 1918 he was concerned in political activities in London which bat far-reaching consequences.

Replying to a hint that he might have been the man who brought over the Zinoviev letter, he said, I have never seen Mr. MacDonald except on the pictures."
