The British Embassy said today
that Sir George Paish. British
economist, had been advised to re-
turn to England as soon as possible
as a result of charges by Senator
Wheeler Of Montana that he was a
propagandist seeking to get the
United States into the war.
An Embassy spokesman said Paish
had been told by Lord Lothian, Brit
is1 Ambassador, that it would be
in the interest of better Anglo
American relations for him to leave
the country.
Paish is now at Larchmont, N. Y.
The Embassy said it had not been
advised when he would leave, but
hoped 1t would be soon. It was
said that he was in the country as
a private citizen and the Embassy
could only advise him to leave.
Senator Wheeler last week related
to the Senate a conversation with
Paish in which he quoted the British
economist as saying he helped to
get the United States into the World
War and was seeking to duplicate
the feat. Paish replied that he had
said only that he intended to put
the facts before the American peo-
pie during a lecture tour,
