Mr. Massingham made his journalistic debut on the Norfolk News, but it was not until he became editor of the Daily Chronicle that he made bis name in the newspaper world. Under him the Daily Chronicle was accounted the best journal in London from every point of view, and since those days Mr. Massingham has acquired a great deal of respect and even admiration in newspaper and literary circles. Nor was this popularity confined to Liberal thought, as was shown recently by the acceptance of articles from Mr. Massingham by J. St. Loe Straehey, editor of The Spectator, which used to pose as Liberal-Unionist, but is now distinctly Conservative in tone. Many of The Spectator's die-hard readers took exception to Mr. Massingham's articles, but it was distinctly to Mr. Strachey's credit that he opened the hospitality of The Spectator's pages to such an intellectual, sane and distinguished journalist as Mr. Massingham. On the same score The Christian Science Monitor is to be congratulated in obtaining the services of a well-tried British journalist whose views are healthy, just, reliable.
