ILLNESS INTERFERED
WITH HIS MISSION.

II will he remembered that Lord
Grey was sent to the United States
10 discuss with President Wilson cer-
tain questions arising out Of the rati-
fication pf the peace treaty. when he
got here Mr. Wilson had suffered a
nervous collapse and not even the
Secretary Of state was permitted to
see him; and, furthcrmorc, so far as
America is concerned, there have been
no questions arising out " the rati-
hcation Of the peace treaty" for the
obvious reason that the treaty which
Europe expected TO see ratified by
October and the first meeting OF the
League OF Nations in session bv then
stiil remains unactcd upon uy the
Senate Of the United states
There remained two things which
Lord Grey could do-wait here til the
Senate acted. which might proIong his
visit in America beyond the time
which he had agreed on account Of
his failing health to remain in tho
United States, or else 90 back home

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-(Copy-
right, 1919).-Viscount Edward Grey
the man who as Foreign Secretary
of Great Britain led the Allies in
the critical moment Of July, 1914
returns this week to Europe to tell
the people over there exactly what he
believes to be at issue in the treaty
controversy in the United States.
The Ambassador leaves in no COM
planning spirit and in no captious or
impatient mood. He is neither
sighted by his inability to have an
audience with President Wilson, nor
Is he impressed with the charge that
party politics alone lie at the bottom
OF Americas hesitation to ratify the
Peace Treaty.
It is true, in one sense, that the
mission Of LORD Grey has been a
failure, but in quite another sense 1t
is about the most important mission
that could have been contemplated
for this critical moment in the re-
lations OF the United States and
Europe.
