ternational lawyers represent us al the Court of St. James, like Charles Francis Adams, Phelps, Bayaru, Choate and Davis. The best legal talent is greatly needed in the pres ent crisis in interna tional affairs. as well as men experienced in diplomacy and public affairs. Good temper was never more needed than it is today by men who are to conduct interna- tional affairs.
 Ii would have been easy to find high type of American gentleman, student of history, of international
 law and a man of affairs in ex-Pres-
 ident Taft. ex-Secretary Of state
 Root our own Judge Sloan and many
 others loyal and life long Repub-
 licans with administrative experi-
 ence and knowledge who can enjoy the confidence and respect of both politicai parties. If a distinguished | citizen is required who is not law ! yer. like some previous ambassadors whom we have sent to represent us, | for example. a great journalist as Whitelaw Reid, who it must be re- membered had wide experience as 1 diplomat and public citizen before nis 1 appointment to England. there are | eminent administrators and military
 men. like Gen. Leonard Wood. or Mir i John H. Finley on the editorial board
 of a New York newspaper who was once head of the College of the City of New York and chief of the educa- ] tional board of the state, who could ! have been chosen

 there would have been from some
 of the leaders of the Republican parry
 who have defended the nomination or
 Mir. Harvey, great uproar or ols-
 approval and opposition.
 It has been said by his friends that
 iMr. Harvey disapproved of the at-
 tack through coarse and cruel car
 toon. reflecting on doctrine or 3
 great religious communion which ap-
 peare-d during the campaign but he is generally held responsible for its
 appearance and this is another req
 son for his unfitness for the position
 You say rightly that England mas

 for this would be an unusual pro-
 ceeding to adopt toward friendly country whose goodwill is earnestly
 desired Great Britain holds strong
 ly to the principle of the league o nations. Would it not have beer l, wiser to have sent as our represent i ative one who, if opposed to the leagIe of nations. could be depended , upon to view the subject with some | fairness. We would not expec l Great Britain to send us as ambas' ) sador a high tory with no sympathy with democratic institutions. It wa: ? the knowledge and understanding anc , sympathy with our institutions or the part of Lord Bryce that did sS much to promote friendly relation: between the two countries.
 You quote the London Times al reflecting the government and Brit ish people. This was perhaps tru'
 once. but not today. No fiercer de - nunciation has been spoken of th' ' mar who controls the London Time than what has fallen from the lip . of the present head of the Englisl I government. Lord Northcliffe Is n Journalist of the type of MT liar n yev. who was instrumental in turn V ing out of office the great hbera v prime minister, MT. Asquith, througl 2 his malignant attacks, and who IS q now trying the same methods to Ge . stroy Lloyd George, for whose ap-
 pointment as premier he, as pro-
 prietor of the Times and other news papers. was largely responsible. Dis appointed at not being able to die tate and control the policy of the English government, the hand of thi I Journalist. like his American asso ciate. is against everyone who op poses him.
