Grey Letter Causes Comment.
There was much comment yester-
day as to the propriety of Lord
Grey's letter to the London Times.
From Senator Reed. of Missouri,
came the statement that the Presi-
dent should at once cancel Viscount
Grey's. passports and serve notice
upon England that he would be no
longer considered persona grata as
the Ambassador from England to
this country.
The Senator regards Viscount
Grey's action in undertaking to in
fiuence the Senate to ratify the
treaty as most uncalled for and i'm
II SdiiCo AoA
the sternest possible rebuke.
Senator Hitchcock in an inter-
view also discussed the propriety
of Lord Grey's utterance. but held
there was nothing improper in his
writing the letter. because 1t was
done after he returned to his own
country.
This statement by Senator Hitch
cock is especially interesting in
view OF the generally accepted
fact that the President and other
officials of the government regard
Lord Grey's action as a discourtesy
to the President.
Hitchcock Talked with Grey.
Senator Hitchcock admitted hav-
ing talked with Viscount Grey just
before the Ambassador returned to
England. and having heard from
him -the statement that neither
England nor France would object
to the Lodge reservations.
The only objection England would
have. the Ambassador Is reported
to have said. would be to the Len
root reservation. which would de-
prive the dominions of Great Brit
ain of their votes IN disputes in-
volving the United States. This
reservation was regarded by the
Ambassador as equivalent to the
disfranchising Of the coinies.
