Differences Arose
Shortly after the completion Of his
world tour, differences grew in the

criticizing certain methods of the new
er members of the association. He
later resigned.
In May, 1922, ~dissension broke out
between Northcliffe and other mem
bers of the Associated Newspapers,
Ltd, owners of the Northclife press.
In June, 1922, libed suits were brought
against Lord Northcliffe by Sir An
drew Card, vice-chairman, and Wal
ter G. Fish, a director of Associated
Newspapers.
The day on which the announcement
Of the filing of these suits was made,
Northclife was reported to be suffer
ing from a nervous breakdown IN
Switzerland. He was brought back to
England several days later, and was
reported than to be i'll from ptomaine
poisoning.
Early in July his differences with
Lloyd George were said to have been
ended and the libel actions brought
by Fish and Card were said to have
been dropped. His health, however,
continued to grow worse, his ailment
being diagnosed as due to unknown
poisoning"
Occupied Public Eye
In no country, it has been asserted,
did a man in civil life so constantly
as Lord Northcliffe occupy the public
eye or labor so consistently for his
country and it's allies and to bring con
fusion and defeat upon the Germans.
Of the attitude of the British people
toward him, it has been said they
hate him and admire him: but, try as
they may, they cannot be Indifferent
to him"
At the conclusion of the wal he and
Lloyd George were characterized as
the two strongest personalities in
British life"

ION in the house of when
the naval estimates came up for dis
cussion. He pointed out that accord
ing to the latest figures the navy had
only nine fighting airplanes. in on
trast with the Sc possessed by the
United States navy.
To offset the allegation of Captain
Curzon, the air ministry has issued a
statement declaring the British navy
to be better equipped with airplanes
b that of any other power and
claiming no fewer than 98 fighting
air machines in commission, with a
large number Of reserves.
George Lambert, a former civil lord
of the admiralty, expressed the opin-
ion that the British navy was very
inadequately equipped with aircraft.
Can the navy say that from the de-
fensive point of view the money of
the taxpayer is being spent to the best
advantage?" he asked. You are go
ing to spend Els 600 on two new
ba~ttleships, but it is useless to spend
money on capital ships unless you
have sufficient aircraft for the ships

criticism against the newspaper pro-
prietor in the house of commons. This
incident was pointed to as in keeping
with the previous attitude of North
cliffe who, it was said, never failed TO
criticize friend or foe alike, if he deem
ed their actions in public life justi-
fed it.

went an operation in June, 1919. Al
though he was incapacitated, he eX-
erted considerable influence on the
conference at Versailles.
Plans were maze early in 1921 for
a world tour. The start was delayed
until July because of labor trouble, in
volving the publishing industry, and a
renewal of hostilities between LloyO
George and himself. Lord Northcliffe
attacked the motives of the Premier
and Marquis CuTzon in desiring to
represent Great Britain at the Wash

of this attack, government news was

people knew little about the conduct
of the war at that time. They were
told of the victories and advances, but
it is claimed that the disasters and de
feats were never fully revealed. Of
fetal England is said to nave known
for months that the wrong kind of
shells were being furnished. Lord
Northcliffe knew these conditions be-
he had visited the front on sew
cral occasions. He sent the military
correspondent of the London Times,
Colonel Repington, to France, and
Remington sent the Times a published
dispatch exposing the situation and
attributing the failure of military op-
erations and heavy casualty lists to 4
deficiency in shells.

This was followed by an editorial
criticism of Lord Kitchener, who up to
that time, had been regarded as Eng

press, his newspapers publicly burned
in the streets and his life is said to
have been threatened.
Through his newspapers and peri
odicals, Lord Northcliffe had demand
ed a more vigorous prosecution Of the
war. He attacked the government for
the failure in the Gallipolli campaign
and in Mesopotamia. He demanded
that conscription be put INTO effect
Next he turned his journalistic guns
upcn Premier H. II. Asquith, denounc-
er the general war committee as a
town meeting and demanded a COM
pact war cabinet. He supported Lloyd
George in a demand for a small and
efficient cabinet, of which Asquith
should not be a member. Mr.. Asquith
resigned and Lloyd George succeeded
him.
Came to America
Lord Northcliffe had pointed out that
America was wise in remaining out OF
the war until Germany forced her to
act. Because of his acquaintance with
American conditions, Lloyd George pre-,
vailed on him to accept his first pub
lie office. contrary to his resolution,
and Northcliffe came to the United
States as head of the British mission
in which he directed the work OF some
500 officials and 10000 assistants.
For his services TO the government
in this and other respects he was made
