Jaw I;cid of New York whose selection
by the President has just been an
nouliceJ. For over 10 years Mr.. Reid
has oeen familiar with public affairs
and active in the achievements of the
Republican party. H. has had actual
experience at Paris in the same kind
vi service he is to resume at London,
and in fact he has been twice at Lon
don a. special ambassador to repre-
sent this government. first at the Vic
toriaE golden jubile. and later at the
coronation Of Edward VII. For IS
years as editor of ths New York
Tribune he has been an honored and
commanding figure in American jour
nalism. His education, wealth and
diplomatic experience elnincntly fit
him for the most important post in our
foreign service.
Mr.. Choate. who is TO return to his
Law practice in New York. has been at
the court of st. James since 1899 and
not one in the long line of distinguished
men who have represented US there has
been more successful in his work or
mas won more friends ard admirers
among the English people. In his
public addresses he has been particu
larry happy. His unfaiiing tact has
softened many rough places in the re-
lations of the two countries and his
culture and dignity have made our
country and its diplomatic service
more respected abroad. He will be
warmly welcomed back to this coun-
try. Many changes among our ant
bassaGols are scheduled for the near
future but none so important as the
appointment of Mr. Reid to succeed
Mr.. Cnoate.
