The editorial says he out5urst Of
enthusiasm here for Sir Edward
Grey's acceptance OF President Ta.t's
offer was due solely 10 the fact
that original proposal was fo- the

taking place under false pretenses.
Another Of the Pests reasons fo-
its attitude is that This offer was
made by I government whose hos
