| or liking for foreign affairs, but he Is
| warmly in sympathy with his uncle's
views in regard to the present troubling
international relations, and the fact
| that he was chosen to direct the for
eign office indicates that his policy, for
the present mt least, Will be conducted
upon the Marquis Of Sallsbury's lines.

vances in the estimation of politicians,
