''(fj(T7v-l'. ilT Approval Is General, but Some Papers Lament Temporary Envoy as Unsuitable ABLE TO ADVANCE LEAGUE By Uio Associated Pre London, Aug. 14. Viscount Grey's acceptance of the appointment of tem porary British ambassador to the United States is civen warm approval by the press here, wblrh eulogizes his public services and, for the most part, regards his appointment as excellent. Thero is, however, dissatisfied criti cism in some quarteis, not on the ground of Viscount Grey's fitness or bis ac ceptability to America, but because of the extraordinary responsibilities at taching to the post at this moment. Doubt is cxprcv-cd whether the naming of a temporary ambassador is suitable for this reason. The Daily News scercly scores the government for making an "emergency appointment," addini;: "To choose a statesman who for moio than two years has been out of touch with active po litical life is, to say the least, a sin gular proceeding." The newspaper, which is an admirer of Vicount (iiev, sajs his task will be singularly delirate, his power being at best limited. The l'ost, which is nn opponent of Viscount Grey politically, nevertheless assumes that Ameiiea will regard his appointment as a compliment, as he is a notable nnglishman, but it hopes that "Viscount Grey will not forget Ameri cans respect a man who stands firmly upon the rights and interests of his own nation. In the past there has been a weak tradition of sunender at Wash ington, due mainly to the pusillanimous and unmanly policy of the government at home." In most of the editorials. Viscount Grey's sympathy with the league of nations is dwelt upon, though the Tele graph remarks he has net ieenlcd whether he champions the particular form of the league incoiporated in the peace treaty. The Chronicle regards it as narticu- larly fortunate he N going to Amciica now, sajing "for, with hi3 rare tact and Knowledge,, he will be especially qualified to take council, both with President Wilson and those who are not satisfied with all the terms of the league of nations covenant." As regaids the league, the Daily News materially tempeis its otherwise ad verso ciiticism by aying that Great Britain could have no better repre sentative than Viscount Grey. "The league needs not so much com mendation as explanation to America," the newspaper says, "and if Viscount Grey is able to take nn active pait iu that work he will render a notable serv ice to mankind." The newspaper, however, says that the new ambassador will be handicapped in this work by the proposal of the British Government that legions oer which Great liritain holds mandates shall be brought within the British im perial tariff union and it says "his path will not he smoothed bj the goeru ment's sustained refusal to make auj approach to a solution of the Irish problem." Apait from such criticism, the ap pointment of Viscount Grey is approved and it Is bclieed he will bo wholly ac ceptable to the United States.
