Masterman, formerly Liberal M.P. for Manchester, v r ho controlled British war-time .propaganda, is_ engaged in a controversy with Lord Tavistock, the Socialist heir of Lord Bedford, who has alleged that the medal commemorating the sinking of the Lusitania was manufactured in Britain and circulated as propaganda. He also asserts that the Government issued a photigraoh of crowds greeting the Kai«t,r in 1911 as that of crowds cheering the sinking of the Lusitania.
