The only means which the nation
has of expressing its disapproval of
any treaty or convention made by the
sovereign with a foreign Power is to
impeach In Parliament the Minister
Of the Crown who is believed to have
advised the monarch from criminal
motives TO conclude agreements
derogatory to the honor and interest
of the people" But this impeachment,
| while It may lead to the punishment
OF the Minister in question. in no way
affects the validity of the agreement
condemned by Parliament, nor in any
manner annuls it. Legislative sane
ton and ratification are therefore not
required In England for treaties or
international arrangements concluded
by the sovereign through her Foreign
Minister. Whereas his colleagues are

ment, at an exceptionally early age
to the most splendid and lucrative Of
fee in the gift of the British Crown,
namely, the Viceroyalty of India, he
governed that great dependency with
a master hand, and yet with so much
tact, in his dealings with the vast pop
ulation of 1000, 900 natives, of every
conceivable race and caste and hue
and creed. that his unprecedentedly
successful term of office was prolonged
for two years beyond the usual time.
and he remains on record as the most
remarkable Governor-General of In
dia in the last seven or eight decades.
Thanks to this, and TO his extensive
travels prior to his Viceroyalty in
Persia, Afghanistan, in Central Asia
and Aslstic Turkey, he brings to his
office as Foreign Minister of the Crown
a wealth of experience about Oriental
affairs and conditions enjoyed by none
of his predecessors in Downing Street.
The Kingdom of the Hedjaz owes its
origin to his statecraft, and It was he
who first inaugurated the policy of the
British Empire for the emancipation

Some Of the wisest and most far
sighted statesmen in England and on
the continent of Europe and the most
thoughtful students of contemporary
history have expressed the opinion
that the fate Of the Occident and Of
Western civilization will rest to a
great extent upon the Pan-Asistic
movement now In progress against the
civilized Powers of Europe and
America, and that We are within
measurable distance Of such an armed
struggle between the East and the
West as will completely dwarf and

salisbury's ConceaIments.

The British method which is like
wise that of most constitutional mon
arches in Europe. is not without Its
drawbacks. True, Arthur Balfotlr,
Lord Grey of Falloden and Lord Rose
berry have all shown much tact in
seeking to reconcile the foreign policy
of the Crown with what was best and
most sound in the popular sentiment
and have refrained as much as pos
sible from emphasizing the absolute
freedom of the Throne OF all legisla-
tive control in the foreign policies Of
the Empire. The late Lord Salisbury,
| however, made no concealment OF his
conviction that, like his illustrious an
cestor the great Cecil. Lord Of Bur-
leigh. Secretary of State to Queen
! Elizabeth, he was an infinitely more
capable Judge, Jointly with his VEN
erable sovereign Queen Victoria. Of
what was of advantage TO the nation
, in foreign matters than any Cabinet

Thus 1t is claimed that when he
made the amazing, and as 1t after

unfortunate surrender to Emperor
William OF England's island of He'll
goland, in return for Germany's aban-
donment of the more or less mythical
rights which she had until then en-
joyed, to a joint protectorate with
Great Britain over the Sultanate OF
Zanzibar he did not even take his col
leagues in the Cabinet into his conf

with the Kaiser. In the name of Queen
Victoria, and by her sanction, without
anybody else in England knowing
anything about the matter. Indeed
Parliament and the nation were
brought face to face with an accom-
plished fact which could not be un-
done. Nor did he consult either his
colleagues in the Administration OIL

T ORD CURZON'S appointment to
the post of Secretary of State
- for Foreign Affairs, in success
sion to Arthur Balfour, is viewed with
sympathetic interest on this side Of the
Atlantic. For the very fact that his
first, as well as his second, wife should
have been an American woman of
exception beauty and charm may be
taken as a proof that he entertains a
very warm regard for the United
States and for its people.
Great Britain is fortunate in the
thoice of her Foreign Ministers. No
matter what she may do with the other
places in the Cabinet, she always
eelects her very best men-statesmen
pf exceptional distinction, personifying
all the most admirable qualities OF
ber race, and preeminent in their
knowledge and experience of interna-
tional affairs-for the role Of Foreign
Secretary of the Crown. Moreover,
they have all. at some time during
their careers, enjoyed the advantage
of Foreign Office training. Lord
Curzon made his debut in the service
pf the State at the Foreign Office near
" thirty-ive years ago as assistant
private secretary to the then chief Of
hat great department, the late Lord
Salisbury, and afterward spent several
years there as Under Secretary Of
State. until his promotion to the Vice

Curson's Predecessors.
Arthur Balfour. who has just re-
eigned the seals of the Foreign Of
fee. also commenced his public life
there as private secretary to his
uncle, the late Lord Salisbury, and
accompanied him In that capacity to
the 1873 Congress of Berlin, of which
he is to-day the only survivor. He
was in turn preceded at the Foreign
Office by Lord Grey Of Falloden. now
Special Ambassador OF the British
Empire at Washington. Lord Grey,
foo, fnaugurated his official career as
Under Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs in 1892. working under Lord
Rosebery, who was then at the head
OF the department, and returned there
as its chief in 1905.

to a conclusion. This Oriental cata-
clysm, according to Lord Curzon him
self, may be delayed for a couple Of
decades or more or may burst upon
us at any moment. Field Marshal Lord
Haig has also recently issued a solemn
warning of impending peril in this
connection. 1t is therefore a subject
of congratulation that the man at the
head of the Foreign Office in England
should be such past master of
Oriental issues as Lord Curzon.
First Lady CurEOn's Charm.
Many of the statesmen who have
held office of one kind or another in
the recent war have emerged there
from with impaired prestige. some
even with damaged regulations. Tried
by the fierce fire OF the titanic con-
nagration, they have failed to respond
to the test, Lord Curzon, however,
has lived up to what ives expected of
him. and during a period when almost
every public man has come in for crtti-
cism. he, among the very strongest,
has been the least criticised of all.
His present wife. whom he married
a couple of years ago, after a decade
of widowerhood and OF grief for the
mother OF his daughters, Is the daugh-
ter of the late John Munroe Hinde,
American Envoy at Rio, and is the

The people of the United States have
