NORTHCL|FFE ON
 WAY ID CANADA
London Publisher Declines to Discuss Controversy With
 Lloyd George
By Associated Press

New York, July 30.-(Special)- Lord Northcliffe left for Toronto to- night on another leg of his Journey around the world. The British pub fisher declined to answer any ques- tions having reference to his contro versy with Premier Lloyd George or the interview enormously attributed to him by British newspaper in which King George was quoted as having told the premier. in conver- sation concerning the Irish troubles, that T cannot have my people killed in this manner"
 London has no orders to give the dominions," was the comment of P, Wickham Steed editor of the London Times, who accompanied the pub fisher to Tortono, when asked whether he expected any such inci- dents as the cancellation of the Brit ish embassy dinner in Washington, to which they had been invited, on the remainder of Lord Northcliffe's tour, which will take him through Canada, Australia and other parts of the British empire
 AtS AHeSt siSW dtli lDutSo lO l<iOy Il George in some newspapers abroad and which brought forth a denial from the King was credited to Mir. Steed in Mondays issue of the New York Times, from which 1t was taken. Mir. Steed. however, declared today that he was misquoted.
 The direct statements attributed to me I did not make" he said. T could not have made them, because neither Lloyd George nor the King told me what they said to one an- other. I do not know to this day what they said to one another.
 AS to the actual facts of the Irish situation. it Is fact no one can contest that the possible settlements growing out of the truce are directly accountable to the speech by the King at Belfast-a great-hearted, consid- crate speech.
 Tt Is also incontestible that King George feels for all his subjects an equal solicitude and nothing would rejoice him more than to see prospec- tive peace In Ireland
 The London Times has worked very hard for the last two years to promote the settlement in Ireland that the government seems to be ap- preaching, and we have given Mir Lloyd Georges government the fullest support in all efforts toward successful conclusion. No one knows that better than Lloyd George, who for two years has had pertinent reasons to know how true 1t Is. That and that alone was the sense of the quite informal talk I had with the representative of the New York Times"
 Lord Northcliffe played golf on Long Island today with Thomas W. Lamont, New York banker, who, the n,,hltsher satd defeated him Soundly,
