LONDON PAPER
SCORES BRYAN

London, May 12.-The Daily Mail COM
ments in a cynical vein on Secretary
Bryan's peace policy and described Mr.
Bryan as "a highly inexperienced diplo-
matist.
Referring to the Panama dispute the
difficulties with European nations arising
out of the new tariff, and the Californian
trouble concerning which it says that
Japans proposal to refer the matter to
The Hague ought to be accepted with
effusion by such an enthusiast for inter-
national arbitration as Mr.. Bryan" The
Mail concludes:
With so many hard nuts to crack in
his own particular department it seems
unnecessary for this eminent idealist to
dissipate his energies in preparing for
the millennium.
The other London papers warmly well
come and applaud the aspirations of
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
although in some cases with reservation
In regard to the Panama dispute the
Chronicle says: Mr.. Bryan ALWAYS has
been great apostle of peace and now
has a magnificent opportunity to do prac-
tical work and his striking declaration
of eagerness to sign arbitration treaties
should have worldwide welcome
