SLICHTS LORD
 NORTHCL|FFE BRITISH EMBASSY WITHDRAWs INVITATION TO DINNER,
 IS REPORT. LAYS SNUB TO CURzON METHODS USED IN INDIA BY FOREIGN SECRETARY ADOPT
 ED IN WASHINGTON.
(western Newspaper Union News Service

Washington.-Lord Northcliffe, the British publisher, now in the United States, in q statement issued here, said that flor reasons of which he is not aware" invitations extended him to attend a dinner there had been withdrawn. Knowing the methods in India of Lord Curzon, the British for eign secretary" the statement de- clared, Lord NOrthcliffe is pretty certain that Lord Curzon has adopted those methods here"
 The British publishers statement conveyed the impression that the mat ter involved in the reported cancella- ton of invitations was an Outgrowth of the controversy between Lord Northcliffe and Lord Curzon.
 Soon after President Harding made his overtures for a disarmament con- ference, the London Times, leading paper published by NOrthcliffe, op- posed the suggestion that Lord Cur zon be appointed one of the British delegates to the proposed conference and attacked both the foreign secre- tary and Premier Lloyd George.
 This attack was followed by suspen- sion of privilege rights enjoyed for years by the London Times, a North cliffe paper, in the obtaining of news from the British foreign office.
 Lord Northcliffe issued his state ment after questions had been asked him concerning rumOrs that invita- tions extended him by the embassy had been withdrawn on instructions from London. The only comment ob tainable from the embassy was that the reports were inaccurate"
 It was established, however, that Lord Northcliffe had gone to a local hotel on his arrival here from New York. He visited the White House and spent an hour and twenty min utes with President Harding, discuss ing, as the visitor said, newspapers. Failure of Sir Auckland Geddes, Brit ish ambassador, to accompany the publisher was not considered signifi- cant in that Lord NOrthcliffe on ar irving in this country stressed that he was not here in an official capacity.
