present.
Just now the leading subject Of dis

selection Of successor to Sir MOrti-

Washington. Many Of the editorial
writer's agree with Sir Mortimer that
Washington is the most important
diplomatic post In the world" one Of
the principal weekly reviews, The Out

the subject. The Outlook says the
British embassy at Washington has
lost completely the political and SO
cial ascendancy It enjoyed under Lord
Pauncefote. THE blame for this ID

universal respect, but he was trans
lated from sphere which be filled
with first distinction to an environ
ment where 1t was practically impos.

been no Misunderstanding between
the United States and Great Britain,
but there has been some cessation OF
a complete understanding What Is
now needed is a man as little like a
professional diplomat as can be imag,
ined, and resembling as nearly as
possible American representatives
