Famous Editor.
by The United Press.

London. July 29.--Sir Auckland
Geedes, British ambassador at Wash.
ington acts on mis- own initiative In
boycotting Lord Northcllffe as a din.
ner house guest. II was stated In
official circles today.
The statement added that Geeds
was considered to have acted prop.
erly In withdrawing the invitation
extended TO >;orthclffe to stop AT
the British embassy and TO attend
a dinner there last night.
The incident which caused the
rupture between the British foreign
office and the Northcliffe press
arose through the publication In the
London Times July ~ Of an article
in its editorial columns discussing
the possible British representation
in the Washington disarmament con-
ference. Press cable dispatch OF
that date summarized the editorial
as follows:
1T declares that neither the pre-
mier not the foreign minister is
fitted by this position, his tempera-
ment and his past career to take
a direct part in these negotiations.
Editorial Causes Trouble
Concluding its editorial with a bit.
ter critism of Lloyd George, and
Curzon, the Times said
ut is for the same reason of
avoiding suspicion that the attend
ance of Premier Lloyd George and
Lord Curzon in Washington seems
particularly undesirable. The great
qualification needed by the represen-
tatives OF this empire is chacter for
conspicuous straight-forwardness and
honor. Mr.. Lloyd George does not
possess this character. or all states
men in Europe he probably is most
distrusted. In America he is widely
regarded as a man who encompassed
President Wilson with his 'wizardy.'
"The newspaper then turns to
Lord Curzon alleging that his pom
pous and pretentious manner and in.
capacity for business do not fit him
to discharge the responsible duties
the mission would impose.''
