The Broolklin Eagle says:
Neither educated men nor
educated readers Of newspapers
need to be told that the appoint
ment of special embassy to the
coronation ia q proper thing on
the part of this government. The
other governments of the world
will be similarly represented on
the occasion, and the United
!. States, as great world power,
and as historically and sympathe-
tically in very close relations with
Great Britain, should also be re-
presented there. Those who sim
cerely think otherwise think
ignorantly. These who say other
wise, without thinking so. exploit
a demagOgy which in this period
of the intelligence of the world is
losing business, whether in
politics, in OratOry, or in journal
iSm.'
Even educated men" ought to
be satisfied with United States
representation being confined to
our ambassador and other agents
now in England. When presi-
dent is to be inauguratedE England
does the polite thing by having
It's American minister attend the
ceremony. That meets every
need. More we have never asked
nor desired, and that which is
sufficient for the inauguration of
q president ought to satisfy even
educated men, so far as our
participation is concerned in the
inauguration ceremonies of a
king.
1t is no argument to say that
other governments of the world '
will be similarly represented on
the occasion Other govern ,
ments of the world are similar in
spirit and form to that of Great
Britain. While the United States {
should be courteous, while it l
should observe certain formal
tiles; while, indeed, it should be
represented at these coronation I
ceremonies, yet there are even .
educated men in this country
who think that our am mbassador to
can meet every require
