Diplomatic firmness and good temper ended a disagreeable chapter in Anglo-American relations. Two years ago British shipping interests charged that the American consular officials at Newcastle-on-Tyne had exceeded their authority by attempting to divert passengers from British to American shipping lines. The British Foreign Office insisted that the two accused officials be transferred from Newcastle, and canceled the exequaturs (official consular recognition) of Slater and Brooks, Consul and Vice Consul of the U.

"Since when has the word of this country been useless for the protection of another country without the details being given of the force whereby it is backed?" he asked heatedly. The former Premier complained that Mr. MacDonald's policy was nebulous; he twitted the Labor Government with failure to protest against French intentions to make the Ruhr occupation permanent; he gave warning that the Franco-Prussian industrial agreements were operating to the detriment of Great Britain...
