GEDDES SEEKS
OUR GOOD WILL
New Ambassador Opens
War on Anti-Butish
Propaganda.

A vigorous diplomatic counter
offensive apparently has been
to meet the campaign of
antiBritish propagandists in the
United States, whose activities are
causing worry to. statesmen on both
sides of the Atlantic.
There were many evidences here
yesterday that such a counter
stroke is being essayed and that to
Sir Auckland Geddes, the new British
Ambassador. has been entrusted the
task of leading the fight for Amer
ica's goodwill.
The precincts of the British en-
bassy no longer are forbidden ter
ritory to newspapermen.
While the ENJOYS of other powers
are very reserved and very quiet,
Geddes is much in the public eye.
One of his first efforts. evidently,
Is to eradicate the impression that
the work of the United States SOL
der is not appreciated in Britain.
He is also trying, apparently, to
remove the idea that Britain wants
a big loan from the United States,
or that the London government Is
interested in the success of any
particular candidate for the Amert-
can Presidency.
