Sir Auckland Getltics

4 MEKlCANS will welcome the senior of
the two distinguished Geddes brothers
10 this country, if the State Department finds
him acceptable from a purely diplomatic
standpoint. They will look forward to the
arrival OF the new British ambassador with
more than ordinary interest, not because OF
the important and delicate problems with
which he will deal officially, but because OF
the exceptionally attractive personality OF
the man himself.
Sir Auckland is representative of the
newer order OF British craftsmanship. AL
though a knight Of the Realm, he is essen

fitness for public service and demon stratcd

brother, Sir Eric. he summoned to Lon

war service and by a singular coincidence
both men were given seats in the ministry,
Sir Auckland as president of the British
Board OF Trade and Sir Eric as Minister OF
Transportation.
The new ambassador is not Il product of
ofiicialdom in the United Kingdom, how
ever He is an educator by profession. He
taught economies and industrialism as a uni
rersity professor long before lie dreamed
of becoming a practical administrator or the
holder of the most important diplo-
matte post in the world, from British stand
point. But his qualifications for govern
ment usefulness were clearly defined that
lie was drafted by his government at the
outset OF the war and contributed splendidly
to the organization which modified the re-
sources OF the British empire for the great
and decisive assault upon Germany. After
the armistice had been signed, his opportun-
ity for the most conspicuous service dc
veloped. II fell to his lot to handle the great
railway strike which all but paralyzed the
United Kingdom, and he did his part in that
crisis in mastery fashion.
Because OF his scholarly attanments plus
his practical experience in industrial affairs.
plus his fine Scotch sense. Sir Auckland has
been preferred by the British Foreign Office
