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.
