CURZON NO DIPLOMAT
METHODS CAUSE FRICTION. OPINION OF “THE TIMES.’ 1 Published in "The Times." \ LONDON, March 22. “The Times,” in a long obituary notice of the late Marquis Curzon, says that his industry was unremitting. He ' spared no pains to become acquainted ; with the facts of every situation. His i dispatches and speeches were always i eloquent with deep patriotism and sin- ■ centy of purpose beyond doubt, yet he was not a diplomatist. His manner of dealing with foreign Governments even firovoked unnecessary friction. He beieved strongly in the power of words, but eloquent denunciations are not always effective. The French Press, while paying generous tribute to the deceased’s personal character and innate patriotism, emphasises liis indifference to French interests, and contrasts him with Mr Austen Chamberlain, whose sympathy with France and favourable attitude to the Anglo-F ranco-Belgian pact Marquis Curzon is said to have opposed.
