BRITAIN'S NEW AMB

Described As Man Of Action Long

Waiting Opening

London, To-day.

Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, the new British Am- bassador to China, is described as a man of ac- tion who has not had his full share thereof in his recent posts.

Four uneventful years as Minister in Stockholm were followed by a period in Iraq, which proved more peaceful than might have been expected.

He was Counsellor at Cairo in 1924, when the Sirdar, Sir Lee Stack, was murdered, and he drafted the ultimatum which he and Lord Allenby delivered per- sonally to the Egyptian Govern-

ment.

At the time of his Baghdad ap- pointment, Sir Archibald was the youngest Ambassador until Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen, the retiring Ambassador in China, usurped him.

Sir Archibald is 2 Scot, a man of the world, a keen sportsman and expert linguist-Reuter.
