M. Kameneff departed for Russia on Saturday after an unpleasant

interview with the Prime Minister. In a letter which his sympathetic friend, Commander Kenworthy, sent to Monday's papers, M. Kameneff said that Mr. Lloyd George had accused him of disposing of Russian jewels in England, of subsidising the Daily Herald—as that paper announced on Friday week—of having relations with the " Council of Action," and of having deceived the Government in regard to the terms of the Bolshevik peace offer to Poland. M. Kameneff denied all these accusations. It was " hypocritical " for Mr. Lloyd George to recur to the deoeption practised on him in reference to the Polish " workers' militia." Mr. Lloyd George had tried to " delay any approach to real peace negotiations." The Ministry lacked the courage to admit " its change of policy, but covers its acted breaking off of political negotiations by paltry and unproved accusations." Such language from an alleged diplomatist concerning the Government to whom he was accredited is astonishing.
