he has been considered as the most
promising candidate.
Sir Edward Grey represents the
conservative wing OF the Liberal party,
while Mr. Loyd-Geefge is the spokes-
man Of the opposite extreme.
The recent outbutst of opposition to
sir Edward Crews management of for
cign affairs. which has been most
marked in the radical papers, has been
attributed partly to the desire of Mr.
Lloyd Georges followers to promote
the Welsh leaders interests.
London, Feb. 13.-Some of the news
papers, today, say that the conferment
of the order of the Garter on the sec
rotary for foreign affairs gives Sir Ed
ward Grey such eminence that he could
not be expected to serve i'll the sabi-
net under Mr. Lloyd-Georgc.
one question which awaits an an
swer is whether the conferment of the
Garter upon Sir Edward Grey has had
any relation to Viscount Haldane's re-
cent mission to Berlin.
Another interesting question is
whether it is designed as a proclana-
ton to others of King Georges en-
Gorsement Of Sir Edward Grey or more
as Il rebuke to his home critics
Every one agrees that it is tribute
To Sir Edward Grey's rare personal
character as much as to his diplomatic
ability and that he is fully worthy of
the historic distinction which implies
that the King and his colleagues in the
cabinet rank him as one of the fore
most foreign ministers III British his
