No other Englishman would be more
welcome. in the United States than
James Bryce, whose appointment is an
nounced as successor of Sir Mortimer
Durand as ambassador at Washington.
II is not merely high character and
recognized abilities as a statesman that
will give warmth to the reception of
Mr.. Bryce, but rather the thorough
insight into American institutions and
sympathy Herewith which he has
manifested through a lifetime. Few
foreigners have shown such a grasp
of our political and social life as Mr..
Bryce in his famous work, The Amer
lean Commonwealth" and other writ
ings, and he has supplemented this
evidence of his interest by frequent
prolonged visits to the country.
James Bryce is one of the conspicu-
Gus figures in British politics as we'll
as in literature, having frequently
held high places in the government
and being now secretary of state for
Gladstone, he is still an ardent be-
lever in liberal home rule for the
Irish, a fact which has increased his
popularity in this country also.
The selection of men of the first
rank by the great powers for their
diplomatic representatives at Wash
ington undoubtedly signalizes the
rapid growth the last few years of the
United States as an influence in world
affairs. The appointment of Mr..
Bryce will in addition, be interpreted
as a compliment and as proof of
special desire on the part of the Brit
ish government to strengthen rela-
tions which are already friendly and
highly satisfactory.

MR.. BRYAN VS.. SECRETARY ROC

Mr.. BRYAN VS.. SECRETARY ROOT
In the self-assumed capacity of OPP
position commentator-in-chie upon
the course of political events, Colonel
Bryan feels impelled first to misunder-
stand the tenor of Secretary Roots re-
cent address and then to pass upon it
a criticism which in fact is tenfold
more applicable to the most important
position he himself has taken on a
public question since the famous six
teen-to-one" episode. Secretary Root
did not make an argument in favor
