Australian Press Association.
PATE OF NAYY PROPAGANDIST Was It WiHiam Shearer?
LONDON, Oct. 7. The Daily Chronicle says BrigadierGeneral Crozier, interviewed, asserts that "a ; mysterious American, calling himself Sherman, attempted to hribe the Britisli general to stir up enmity between Brit'ain and America on the big navy question. "Was Sherman the notorious Shearer?" asks tlie Chronicle, as General Crozier believes. General Crozier states that he recognises a photo of Shearer as that of a man who called at the general's London flat in 1927. General Crozier says 'lie had been making anti-war and pro-American speeches. The caller offered to pay well if General Crozier would stop proposing a reduction of armaments. Later another American, who said he knew Sherman, called 011 General Crozier witli a similar proposal,_ suggesting tliat he would be well paid for a lecture tour in America if the general would advocate the rights of Britain and the United States to possess as big navies as they wanted. General Crozier said he kicked the second American down the stairs.
