British newspaper praise
Lord Malfour's lout, honorable
career, ami work done for his
country.
His contributions to. ience
are important. Sonic of them
would shock our f uAlameiital
isls. The best practical work
he ever did for Mrilain was in
connection with the I'niled
States treasury.
He did another neat piece of
work when, at the Washington
conference. Knidaud, bcinir un
able financially to compete
with ns in ships. Malfour per
suaded our boy statesmen 1o
junk our finest battleships,
some not finished, thus savimr
Mritain expense. Malfour is a
statesman ; ours
