“on that evening, the greater part of which was spent --
in making music-.for our guests, present day politics were not --
discussed--except that long after midnight--one significant .-
remark was made to me by BURGESS. It was that the memory of
SUCH &H evening Of music. making among friends would never be
forgotten. He felt that war was eminent and that it probably
would take place within ten days. As he was slightly under
the influence of drink--his remark made no impression on me--
but in view of his disappearance, he obviously felt that there
was signifance in the remark which repeated in the sober light
of the following morning to .
"He left our atudio with AAEM and GERM avout 2:30 a.m.
"on the following day when he was scheduled to sail
on the QUEEN MARY, phoned to ask if I would go to the
dock with him and GUY. I said that I would. It was then about
1 P.M., and the boat was to sail at 2:30 P.M., or three. I said
I'd be right over and hung wp the receiver. Almost immediately,
the telephone bell rang again. GUY requested that I remain here
and he and QM would pick me up. When they arrived, I questioned
his motive in coming east--out of his way--when owing to the .
lateness of the hour he should have motored to the dock. He
repeated that he wished to hear again the speech that he had
recorded, tin case there is anything incriminating in it', He
and set down and listened to the playback, wWhen-
it was finished BURGESS said 'that!s okeyi It's an interesting
story and-a jolly good recording. I wish you'd send me a copy
*I told him that I could expunge it in his presence
if he wished me to do go. But again remarking that there was
nothing incriminating in the speech, he added that it sould be
left on the tape. His taxi was waiting outside and the three
of us left for the boat. .In the taxi he intimated that he was
looking forward to his return to England. We were late getting
to the boat. Wo more visitors were allowed on doard--s0 ar
and Y said goodbye to BURGESS et the barrier,®
