D r. C um m ins: w a s e m p h a tic in saying th a t he had not regarded this as finally dem onstrating harm lessness
and that the projected conference
w ould be designed to go into the su b ject far more exhaustively.

LO N D O N , A pril 80.--A diplom atic
q u a rre l h as been caused by th e leale-
age to the press yesterday regarding
a "p lo t" Against tho life of A usten
Cham berlain. W arning was given the
B ritish Foreign Office by th e Polish
L egation that* th is "p lo t" had boon
hatched by Com m unists in Vienna.
This w arning w as p a rt of other data
purporting to show the R ussian E m
bassy a t V ienna was the centre of the
te rro rist m ovem ent In th e N e a r E ast.
Publication of tho C ham berlain re
port has infuriated the A ustrian
Legation. The A ustrians have com
plained to the B ritish th at since the
alleged plot w as hatched on th eir te r
ritory, Poland, as a courtesy, should
have inform ed A ustria and not
B ritain. T he A u strians say tho whole
affair proves the Poles are m aintain'
ln g an espionage servlco In V ienna.
M eanw hile the R u ss ia n E m b a s s y Is

fiture of its diplom atic enem ies.
