Reading, British ambassador to the
United States. Both men are legal
minds of wide repute, Davis being
recognized as one of the most able
solicitors general the government
ever had.
Both Davis and Reading are OF the
so-called liberal element" in world
politics and both are of charming
personality.
In view OF the delicate problems
which are bound to come out OF the
war and the need for studious hand
ling OF these situations between the
United States and Great Britain
Davis selection would carry with II
the knowledge that he is held in eX
tremely high esteem by President
Wilson.
Many times he has been mentioned
for important cabinet posts. but al
the time when his selection was
deemed likely he was involved IN
important government cases before
the United States supreme court
His selection for an ambassadorship
now would be timely, because the
Justice department has decided TO
drop trust prosecutions for the war
period and Davis duties as solicitor
general have been lightened.
