London Newspapers Regret
Campaigns Here and IN
England.

LONDON, Feb. 4,--London morning
papers use much space In dealing
with the relations between the United
states and Great Britain. Many OF
them print long dispatches from their
correspondents In America. speclal
reference Is made 20 letters OF Lord
Grey and Senator Glass, former Secre-
tary OF the Treasury
The dispatches represent that
very bitter campaign In being wsged
in the United States against ureat
Britain and the papers which deplore
this regard yiscount Greys letter as
particularly opportune and nope u
will tend to mutual eniightment'
They indorse his appeal for fair con-
sideration from the American point
of view.
Views ON League Diner.
The Times, Morning Telegraph and
Daily Mail are among these. The
Mail does not doubt that America viii
do the right thing with regard to
the league of nations, adding: But
she must be allowed to do II In her
own time"
The Chronicle agrees witty Lord
Grey that IL Is better to have America
in the league at almost any terms
and with any reservations than not
at all.
The Morning Post. on the other
hand regards the league as more dan
gerous to Great Britain than 10
America: dissents from Lord Grey's
advocacy of the American reserva-
tions and contends that II America Is
to be admitted under special reserva-
tions the other nations must also
have special reservations.
Some OF the papers. which profess
to recognize the wholesomeness OF
former Secretary Glass statements.
regard that Mr.. Glass did not express
himself. as one of them puts II. moro
pleasantly and more sympathetically
toward the people of Europe whose
condition is disastrous and critical"
Blanc Hyphensted Enemies.
Tho Times and Telegraph attribute
"the campaign of calumny" which
they say is in progress against Great
Britain ''to hyphenated enemies and
Sim Feiners," and while the Tele-
graph admits that IL feels some bit
terness over ''these defamations' II
believes that Anglo o-American rela-
tions win again become normal.
The Times expects that the bitter
ness of the anti-British campaign
will increase as the electoral activi-
ties In the United States progress,
but looks for a restoration of friendly
feeling. 1t sharply complains of at
tacks in certain quarters here
against America, which II designates
as "astonishingly foolish and may
easily create a temper permanently
impairing American British friend
ship"
Accepts American View.
The Liverpool Post says that Wis
count Grey's statement comes at the
right moment, but regrets 1t was
given through the medium of a sin
gle journal
The paper agrees with tho United
States in desiring time to make up
its mind on suitable reservations and
to have the position of the British
dominions on assembly of the league
reviewed, but considers that the
league should not be manned for lack
of positive arrangement in this mat
ter.
"The world simply cannot AFFORD to
have the league without America
taking it's share Of the responsible
ties" says the Post. "Assuredly upon
the statesmen of both Europe and
America, as trustees for the future
of humanity, there rests today the
gravest duty to find a way out of
the impasse at Washington. Wis.,
count Grey's statement does not help
much in that diretcion."
