eee non LORD RIDDELL, EH PUBLISHER, DEAD %: Outstanding British Jon-uh! Succumbs To Effects Of Chill Contracted Oct. 23 a WALTON HEATH, England, Ridde!, 69, an manna ing British journalistic figure, died yesterday of the effects of a chill con- tracted October 23. He was born George Riddell; May 25, 1868, and was well known on both sides of the Atlantic for his work. He began in life as a lawyer, but went into newspaper work in 1888 and steadily increased the scope of his journalistic activities. His most recent work was the pub- Hcation of a three-volume diary giving behind-the-scenes glances at the world stage before, during and after the war. The first volume, published in June, 1933, covered the war years, the sec- ond published in November, 1933, covered the half decade. miter the armistice, while \More ~Pages From My Diary', covering the period from 1908 to the eve of the war, was pub- lished only a few days after he caught a chill Lord Riddell, English publisher, author and bulls his name and fortune 'from a London Bunday newspaper, News of the World. Trained in law, he started his ca- reer as a solicitor in 1888 but added journalism as a side line when he mequired an interest in the Western Mail, Cardiff, For & time he carried on both pursuits but publishing be- came his chief interest when, soon after the turn of the century, he obtained control of the News of the World. Developing the paper along popu- lar lines, he made himself wealthy and powerful. In 1934 this publica- tion claimed a certified net sale of more than 3,360,000 coples. Meanwhile he had gradually ex- tended his publishing interests, be- coming chairman of George Newnes, Ltd., chairman of C. Arthur Pearson, Ltd., director of Newnes«Pearson Printing company, Ltd., director of W. H. and L, Collingridge, Ltd., and vice-chairman of Bountry Life, Ltd. The publications produced by this grouping of concerns differed widely in character but he took & keen per sonal interest in each of them and was in constant touch with their daily problems. By 1909, when he was knighted, he had become one of the most influen- tial personalities in London journal- ism and after the outbreak of the World war he became the chief pub- liclty link between the press and the government. In this capacity he rep- presented the British press at the peace conference in 1919 and at all important allied conferences subse- quently, including the Washington conference on disarmament in 1921. He was created a baronet in 1918 and in 1920 his war services were re- warded by his elevation to the peerage as Baron Riddell of Walton Health. Though he was frail in appearance, he was an indefatigable worker not only in the publishing field but in au- thorahip of books and in hospital in- terests with maternity welfare com- manding leading attention. When he was 68, he said: \I work all day because I like it better than | anything else.\ He was a non- | smoker and a tectotaler. Behind the scenes in so many world-shaping events because of his war-time and post-war connections with British government leaders and foreign statesmen, Lord Riddell pro- duced an intimate work in 1933, his war diary, and then set himself to the task of giving an \Inside story\ on the Versailles treaty, He was a liberal donor to hospitals and served as president of the Royal Free hospital from 1928 onward, as president of the Medico-Legal society, 1930-33, and as chairman of the Lon- don Voluntary Hospitals committee from 1930 onward. He was an honorary member of the British Medi- cal association and an honorary fel- low of the British College of Obstetric- ians and Gynecologists. Hamid-varietydmlnoflmr fields while in the Journalistic world he was chairman of the Newspaper Proprietors' association; president of the Periodical, Trade Press and Weekly Proprietora' association; and president of the Advertising associa- tion, 1928-30, LITTLE FLOWER CIRCLE MEETS AT LONG BEACH The Little Flower circle of Long Beach held its regular meeting at the home of the Misses Ruth and Maude Whitbread,. 715 West Penn street, Tuesday. .
