Compressed into a thimble, the change may be summarized by two descriptive adjectives—grayer and greater. Yet, plercing the physical exter- ior and forgetting the multitude of world and British events that have galloped helter-skelter across the scene, deep down the MacDeonald of old will be found. 0Old Enthusiasms Survive He possesses all his old ideals and all his enthusiasms, They be- long to the MacDonald of 1933 as they did to the MacDonald of 1929. Only, here is the difference: they have been brought into sharper re- lief by the turn of events. In the three years and more that, have passed since Britain's prime minister sat on a log with Presi- dent Hoover alongside the Rapidan, he has developed mentally a new bigness. One of his associates describes the change thus: “MacDonald has definitely become the great states- man as distinct from the great politician.” Holds Gocd Will Ideal In his talks with President Roosevelt and other American lead- ers, it is believed here he will find a real opportunity for furthering what has always been a matter close to his heart—his belief in good will and cooperation as a reat measure to save the world. MacDonald has stood on“the ground that the interlocking fac- tors in world life, partially ren- dered necessary by economic de- pendence, make the necessity of getting together a prime policy. His friends believe that the |events of the last three years have i produced proof of his view and that not only is he a man point- ing to the remedy but one who, if anybody is, really is capable of put- “ti.ng it into effect. His bblief in cooperation, they say, has made him not only a igreat national leader but an in- | ternational one, with the world }idea uppermost in his mind. His great principle, they point {out, is his belief in the need of mutuality because a nation can |cmly be happy and prosperous if the world is in that state. This beliof, his friends feel, has caused a great sobering down of the man America saw in 1929 and changed him from the party leader to an international one. They believe that he has been chafing for such action as is rep- resented by the American talks for a long time because he had fore- seen the need for good will and cooperation. Developing thus ahead of events |he had had to wait for ‘opportun- ity to forward his great dream of ringing world relations to saner days and prosperity. 1 Vitality Resists Years His strength in the promotion of good will and cooperation, his as- sociates believe, lies in his ability iend willingness to cut away party and national considerations of the meaner type for the sake of the ideal. That is why some term him the least national of national lead- |ers, Physicelly, he is believed to have the same vitality that he had three years ago though now, facing his sixty-seventh birthday next Octo- ber, he has grayed considerably. His health is deseribed as being as good as can be expected consid- ering the amount of work he does He is unwilling to stop work or cease reading and one of the at est troubles his doctors had with him last year after his eyes were operated on, was to keep him from using them. Gets Early Start | Walking is a great hobby and it ‘s his custem as a rule to take a |short walk in the park near 10 Downing street before se down at his desk, Even so, he #s usually engaged with business matters shortly be- fore 8 o'clock each morning.

LABOR PERKINS UNDER GUARD, Cabinet Ofii—c;al Surmund-I : ed by Police—Threat- ening Note Received PHILADELPHIA, Penn., April 19. —Secretary of Labor Frances Per- kins was guarded by police last night after a letter threatening| ther life was received. Not knowing of the threat, Sec- retary rkins spoke at the annual Friendship Dinner of the Temple University Women'’s Club while the police surrounded the building and Rlso maintained a guard inside. The police asserted they know the identity of the author of the| note who demanded an audience. Amused, rather than alarmed at the police protection, Secretary Perkins defended the necessity of reducing wages of Federal employ- ees while insisting the restoration of buying power is essential for economic recovery. Secretary Perkins said both the Black 30-hour bill and reorgani- zation of Federal Labor exchanges are necessary to the success of the Administration's Reconstruction program. ——.—-————— THREE CHARGES MADE AGAINST “ARRESTED MAN Danbridge Bibb Taken in Custody—Alaska Angle to Case LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 19.— The police are trying to check the source of $63,000 in securities found in the possession of a man identi- fied as Danbridge H.
