London, Jan. IS.
The homecoming of Sir Auckland
Geddes. British Ambassador to the Unit.
ed States, has inspired frank discus
sion in all London newspapers Of Anglo
American relations. and reviews of the
various questions between the two Gov
ernments which require settlement An
outstanding feature OF these articles is
the length of the list of issues upon
which there is serious difference.
The news that Sir Auckland had let;
Washington came here as a complete
surprise, and the speculation by writers
is going into everything imaginable.
THE New YORK HERALD correspondent
here is informed that the primary rea-
son for the return OF Sir Auckland at
this time Is to tell Premier Lloyd George
what policy President Harding might be
expected to follow. There is every rea-
son to believe that the British Ambas-
sador in Washington can speak with
much confidence on what the attitude OF
the next President will be toward the
League of Nations, foreign affairs and
toward England in particular.
To be sure the question of Mr.. Har-
dings policy embraces all the problems
between the two countries, but of these
the one considered the most important
is the naval situation. Premier Lloyd
George wants to know just what Amer
ica has in mind in connection with her
naval programme, and he wants this in
formation before the subcommittee in
vestigating naval plans makes its re-
port. II is expected in Downing Street
that Sir Auckland is bringing complete
information on this subject, which is
liable to go far toward shaping. the
future policy Of Great Britain on naval
building and disarmament.
Among other questions include the
financial adjustment. and Lord Chal-
mers Is remaining here until he sees sir
Auckland, and probably will go with
him when he returns to the United
States. But the main issue is the Brit
ish desire to understand Mr.. Harding
and what might be expected under the
Republican Administration. The British
Government shows in many ways de-
cided inclination to work in harmony
with Mr.. Harding's policies and more
may come out OF Sir Auckland's visit
than was first anticipated.
There has been such a noticeable ten
dency on the part OF British officialdom
10 minimize the differences between the
two countries that II is not too optimis-
tic to opine that Anglo-American rela-
tions will improve as soon as Mr.. Har-
ding takes the helm. and. despite the
doubts and misgivings of the alarmists.
~ fc
Geddes mission aims at smoothing the
waters rather than at churning up
trouble. so that when President Harding
enters the White House both sides will
know just where they stand.
Sir Auckland is due TO arrive In Lon
don next Saturday. and 1t is hoped he
will have a conference with Premier
LLOYD George before the Premier leaves
here for Paris on Sunday.
