We assume that Sir Austen accepts Mr. Kellogg's explanations of

June 24th as satisfactory, and, like France, is content to have them on record without insisting that they shall be part of the Treaty. Sir Austen's delay in answering Mr. Kellogg's Note is said to have been due to the necessity -of waiting for the return of Sir Cecil Hurst from abroad. Sir Cecil went recently to Paris to talk with M. Fromageot and after- wards went to Berlin to see Dr. Gaus. He returned to London on Monday. It is difficult to understand why Sir Austen need have delayed several days more after these -comings and goings, but we will say no more on that subject here as we have discussed it in a leading article and have tried to show why the _declaration. of a single principle is valued by American statesmen.
