Denial I- Made
WASHINGTON. Denial, flat and
categorical, was made Saturday by of
ficials at the st tte department and
White House that neither Secretary
Hughes nor President Harding) ever
had refused to receive Ambassador
Jusserand of France as reported in
the London Morrtlnu Post.
Officials were positive In their state
ment that the French ambassador had
been received whenever he hail Indi
cated a desire to see the president or
secretary of state and further de
clared that ns M, Jusserand had been ,
held In highest esteem throughout hip i
long period of service, it was un- !
thinkable that such a report Should be
published With any expectation that
any one would believe It.
Denied by French
Denial of the report also was made
by French embassy officials.
M. Jusserand himself could not be
reached beinK engaged in :l , i;i'""rence
in connection with the arms discussion
but his secretary said the report WMM
too preposterous to be conceivable and
lint the embassy was most anxious
that the denial of it be made as em
phatic as possible.
I'nder diplomatic usaee, its was ex-
plained In official circles, an accredit
ed representative of any country Is
entitled to see the bead of the nn
tlqn to which he Is accredited or the
foreign minister of that tuition when
ever the representative desires. The
same diplomatic rule elves the ac
credited representative the privilege of
immediate withdrawing his letters of
credence and returning to his home
should either the executive or the
foreign minister deny him an audi-ertee.
