Those who are more or less in
touch with the views of the special
commissioner say that Lord North
cliffe will not attempt to dictate
the American war policy. He be-
lieves that nothing will be more
quickly resented by the people OF
this country than TO be told by an
outsider, even an ally, what they
noted in England for his blunt di-
rectness of attack, may be relied
upon to do will be to tell Americans
and their government the true sit
uation regarding the war, and then
with that knowledge before them
leave them to profit by what they
have learned, or to repeat the blum
ders Of Great Britain. 1t is for them
to choose.
All British activities in this country
not coming under the direct head OF
diplomacy will be controlled by Lord
Northcliffe. In diplomatic matters
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice,. the British Am
bassador, will remain supreme.
Operating under Lord Northcliffe' {
direction Will come three principal
British missions, besides many repre-
| sentatives dispatched to this country
by the ministry Of munitions, of which
Lloyd George is the head. the Wal
/ Department and the admiralty. In
