sweep across Bel

HYANNIS, Mass., Sept. 5 W
Joseph P. Kennedy, former U. S.
ambassador to Great Britain, uld
today that Germany hud nn "ex
act and complete" knowledge of
England's position In tho war
from its start to October, 1940,
through Tyler Kent, American
London embassy code clork.
Kennedy snld In a telephoned
Interview that Wlnslnn Chur
rhill. then first' lord of tho
admiralty, had supplied full data
on England's manpowor, army
and navy installations' tmd pre
paredness, ns well as disposition
of forces, for transmission to
President Roosevelt, and thul
after Kent's arrest, he learned
that Kent had made copies oi
isoo documents "which we as
sumed he sent to Germany."
Kennedy snld the manner of
Kent's communication with the
nazis wait not learned until alter
Kent's arrest when, riming the
search of his rooms, a telephone
call for Kent came from the
Itnllnn embassy In London. Kent
was tried under tho British of
ficial secrets act and wi sent
enced to serve seven years In
prison.
Italy, you remember, nc
snld, "did not go to war unTIl
after Kent's arrest."
Kennedy denied there was any
truth in an assertion of John Mc
Rovcrn, Independent lnborlte
member of tho British pnrlln
ment, who had been quoted In
dispatches as saying he had been
told that Kent and Capt. A. H.
R. Ramsay, a member of com
mon's, were imprisoned to pre
vent disclosure of a reported
pre-war understanding between
President Roosevelt and Church
ill. This was described nj a
pledge that If Britain entered
the war, the United States would
aid her.
Kennedy said that Kent was
simply a code clerk, and "wus
not a mcdlary between Roose
velt and Churchill."
The former ambassador as
serted that he learned of the
Kent affair when a Scotland
Yard man called upon him and
told him the story.
Kennedy said ho wos grcntly
upset when the Scotland Yard
man revealed they had' been "on
Kent's trail for a long time."
"That opened the question of
whether Kent had been giving
the Germans copies of our dis
patches since October, 1030,"
Kennedy said.
