Press kPin Pricks'
Cause of Friction
Of U: S.-Britain
Is Lord Northoliff's View
Says No Possibility of Au-glo-Japanese
Combine
Against U. S.
London, May 4. Lord North
clifTe, leading British newspaper pub
lisher, speaking to representatives of
the American dry goods business who
are visiting this country at a dinner
last night, declared that the mis
understandings between England
and the United States were due
largely to "pin pricks" in the Amer
ican press and could be cleared up
through frankness and co-operation.
I'oiuting out the effect on inter
natRmal relations of newspaper agi
tation lie asserted there were certain
English newspapers which unjustly
misconstrued American affairs, but
he added, "there are many more
American newspapers that unjustly
criticise British affairs."
"We are offering' Ireland very
generous terms." he said. "I believe
were they well understood by the
United States, American sympa
thizers with Ireland would urge Ire
land to agree to them.
"Ireland Asks Impossible."
"Ireland is asking for the impos
sible; probably asking for more than

Pi1 expects to gci. ii you tan uit
agine the feelings of the people of
the united States on hearing that
Long Island had decided to cut
loose from the union, you can im
agine our views as to granting
autonomy to Ireland.
"Many English people who do not
y weigh sufficiently the Irish situation
in the United States resent Amer-
ican. comment about Ireland. They
say the Irish question is an English
question. Unfortunately it is also an
x American question,
t He said that if the Irish differences
f were removed other difficulties natur
ally arising between the two coun
tries would be disposed of. He re
futed the statement that there was
famine in Ireland,
Taking American newspapers of
repute at random Lord Northcliffe
declared he had found the following
"knockings"; The British debt, oil,
Yap, the Japanese crown prince's
visit, education of the Japanese in fly
ing by British aviators and the
Anglo-Japanese treaty.
As regarded the debt he noted
Great Britain had advanced 1,
810,000,000 in cash to the allies and
her dominions during the war. The
whole British debt to the United
. States he said, was 862,000,000.
He did not believe there was any
real cause for friction over the oil
question. It was his opinion that
virtually all the American hostility
on the subject was based on the
statement of a "second rate financier,
not of English birth" who is alleged
to have said that in 10 years control
'I into the hands of Great Britain. From
conversations with American oil men
nfhe had learned nobody really could
iW i "nave an inc potential uu icsuun.es
f ' of the world; at any rate there would
be enough to go around. "
The supposition in some quarters,
he continued, was seemingly that the
Japanese attitude relative to Yap was
due to some alliance with Great Brit
ain of an offensive and defensive na
ture. "There cannot be any possibility of
an A n g 1 o-Japanese combination
S against the United States," he said.
1 "But, if any British government con
, templated making such a combina
tion. I venture to say the people of
Great Britain would rise as one man
against such a proposal."
Regarding the visit to England of
the taoanese crown prince, he de
clared: "It is not unnatural or a
novel event."
He intimated unemployment was
responsible in a measure for the use
"Since English flyers are among the
best the Japanese government could
have found no bertcr source oi in
struction." "There is no trouble between Great
Britain and the United States," he
said. "There will be no trouble in
my judgment if we can get together.
If we can'read each others newspa
pers a little more and get to realize
we are not so dissimilar as we seem
to be. much will be achieved. Three
centuries, 3.000 miles and 30,000,000
European and other immigrants
have changed the American people
a great deal. But after all. we still
are more like each other than any
other, peoples."

Washington, llay 4. (Special
Telegram.) Secretary Weeks of the
War department in a letter to Con
gressman Jeffers called attention to
forthcoming establishment of the
the citizens' military training camps,
to be conducted throughout the
country this summer. As the de
partment is vitally interested in the
successful operation of these camps
the secretary is calling upon the
members of .congress to bring to
their constituents the advantage of
this military training.
In his letter the secretary says:
"Plans are now being formulated
which contemplate a month of train
ing for 10,800 citizens between the
ages of 16 and 35, without expense
to them. These citizens will be drawn
from all parts of the country. Quotas
in proportion are .being alloted to
each state and to each community
within that state. This will assure
a representative body of citizens be
ing assembled at these camps for
training. I am most anxious that
the men who take tin's training be
thoroughly representative not only
of all parts of the country, but of
all classes. For this reason the quali
fications demand simply average in
telligence and physical ability to ke
the course prescribed.
"The procurement of candidates is'
in the hands of the commanding gen
erals of the nine corps areas created
by the army reorganization act of
June 4, 1920, and all applications re
ceived by the War department are
referred to the proper corps area
headquarters for action.
"It is my opinion that these camps
will prove a valuable asset in the
broad scheme of national defense by
aiding the upbuilding of the organ
ized reserves, and I hope you will
encourage applicants who desire tin's
elementary instruction in the duties
of a, soldier.''
