In choosing the Hon. James Bryce to
represent the British empire at Wash

apparently to get the right man for
the place Promotion would have sent
US an ambassador from some of the
minor capitals, as Washington stands
well down In rank according TO notions
Of diplomatic precedence. Intellectual
ly Mr. Bryce represents Great Britain.
and from the American point Of view
his appointment is a compliment, some
thing which seems TO have been In
tended. How successfully he win carry
out the wishes of the whole empire re-
mains to be seen. Canadians have
hailed the appointment as showing
Great Brtains desire to be n little
more than friendly to the United
States. The Dominion folks wanted a
trained diplomat to stand by British
colonial interests IN settling the Alas
ka boundary and the Newfoundland
fisheries dispute.
People of this country hailed the sug-
gestion that Mr.. Bryce would succeed

cordial welcome. He is called min.
