 highest consideration. 



John W. Foster, 

 Agent of the United States. 



Mr. Watkins. Now, you stated that Mr. Clark had an opportunity 

 of knowing that that was a false translation. Where do you find 

 that authority? 



Mr. Elliott. He had the same opportunity I have of reading it to 

 you; he had the opportunity of reading it to Dr. Jordan, a scientist, 

 whose sworn duty it was to look into this. 



Mr. Watkins. You say he had an opportunity. How do you know 

 he had ? 



Mr. Elliott. Because he said he had this volume in his hands on 

 the islands. 



Mr. Watkins. What opportunity did he have to know of the cor- 

 rect translation ? 



Mr. Elliott. It is in this very volume, which he said he had in his 

 hands on the island. I am coming to that. He had this volume in 

 his hands on the island. 



Mr. Watkins. Do you know whether during his entire statement 

 he called the translation to the attention of the committee ?
