LONDON OUTLOOK CRiTICiIIs
TRANSFER OF SIR LIONEL

London, Jan. l6-The outlook to-
day contains an editorial attacking
thc foreign office on account VI the
report that Sir Lionel Garden, British
minister to Mexico, is 10 be removed
from his present post and transferred
to the legation in Brazil
THE transfer" the outlook says
has been semi-offciall& confirmed IN
Washington, to which place we must
now turn for the earliest news OF
British diplomatic movements The
report of sir Lionel Gardens transfer
from Mexico wears a sinister look,
The probability Is that the removal
Of the British representative to Bra4ii
or elsewhere may not take place I'M
mediately. but when the mind Of ths
public has been duly prepared for the
step. we expect to find that our ap-
prehenson of "A most netahle ana
twanton surrender to an unprincipled
foreign intrigue is fully warranted.
We assert that It will be caamitous x
our minister to MeSico Is Withdrawn
from his post Of duty until the exist
ing situation in the Latin American
republic has been transformed
The article pleads for the retention
Of Sir Lionel Garden III Mexico, say
ing now is a time when he is greatly
needed especially when, because ot
the action Of the United States mil-
lions of dollars Of British capital are
wasting away and when danger men
aces British name and fame in the
eyes of people with whom they long
have stood pre-emincnt.
The outlook expresses the belief
that the report of Sir Lionels transfer
did not leak. ana advances the opin-
ion that relations between the United
states and Great Britain will not be
improved "by temporary infitmity
in our foreign Office
In conclusion. the article says
"But Great Britain still retains hel
rights, though they may remain In
allegiance short time longer while
the present mixed company of self
seekers remain In office
