EMBASSY SNUB MIXED
WITH IRISH SITUATION

London, July 20.--The snub given
Lord Northcliffe by the British Embassy
in Washington may have been due, II is
thought here. to an interview by Lord
Northcliffe in New York regarding con I.
versations between Premier Lloyd
George and King George about ireland.
Lord Northcliffe's Manchester Mail
published Monday in its first edition;
which was circulated in Ireland and
Scotland. an interview supposed to have
been given by him in New York, quoting
George: when are you going to stop
killing my subjects in 1reland?'
After the first edition the story dis.
npppared and the Times and the Mnil
here did not touch it. This alleged in =
terview. whether true or not. is greatly
resented In Government circles on the
ground that the conversation referred to
never took place, and that the King had
no authority to speak thus TO the Prime
Minister OF England anyway.
The incident Is regarded as sufficient
reason for the Government to prevent
tho entertainment Of Lord Northclife
at it's embassy with the President OF
the United States present. although
il is not definitely stated that this is
the official cause for the action.
This appears to be another maneuver
in the fight between Lord Northcliffe
and the Government which has gone on
for many months. but which came to
head when President Harding's invi-
tation 10 the disarmament conference
arrived and it was semi officially ctated
that Premier Lloyd George would him
self attend. The Northclife press clam
ored against such an idea and attempt
ed to point out that the Premier was
not qualified to represent Great Britain.
II has been widely gossiped here that
Lord Northciffe himself wanted to rep
resent Great Britain at President
Harding's conference, and rival papers
have been busy attempting to ridicule
both him and his intentions. several of
them observing that he is shaking the
Times out of its stately past with his
personal ambitions and animosities.
Since Lord NorthCliffe's arrival in
America his papers have been giving
extensive publicity to what they called
his glorious reception.

that will spring from the conference.
As to restoring to China what was
once hers, il is dream. Just as selfish
nations will sit in the Washington con-
ference as in the Paris conference. They
will be bound together, all except the
United States. by common interest
in maintaining their hold upon their
territorial possessions and their spheres
of influence. They will be united as at
Paris by their secret treaties.
In the opinion of persons well in
formed about China. the only way she
can get upon her feet and recover what
was once hers Is by becoming strong
herself, not by depending upon an in.
ternational protectorate. The sense of
nationality is spreading rapidly in
China. But the country lacks railroads
and telegraphs, and without means of
communication no strong sense of unity
can develop.
II is to the interest of the powers ex =
plotting China, however, to keep her
divided and weak. The utmost that is
likely to come from international action
with respect to China is restraint
upon her future exploitation.
The status quo except, perhaps, with
regard TO the twenty one demands is
not likely to be altered This is the
best estimate experts on China can

there, in plain sight from the deck Of
the Pocomoke, for several hours on We'd
nesday night and had been hauled away
In a big truck just before daybreak. The
