WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER ENGLAND’S COOL CADOG Who May Becone Foreign Secrelar; : ‘SLE RE«.&S 'ER I(K Pen Porirait of Ma By MALVINA STEPHENSON Central Press Correspondent WASHINGTON.—It was a sti- fling Sunday afternoon; the scene, the mirrored ballroom of the mil- lion-dollar British embassy. A tow- ering, bald-headed Englishman, Earl of Halif; sat coatless in front of a crowd of perspiring Washington correspondents. “Beside me here, I have, Sir Alexander Cadogan (pronounced Ca-DUG-an),” announced the Brit- ish amb: Jor, turning to an im- peccable little man at right. s the first intro- duction which Washington received to the permanent undersecretary of state for foreign affairs, not to mention the G. C. M. G. and K. C. B. appended to his title. Sir Alexander could very well have been identified as the “man in the coat,” standing apart from the shirt-sleeve brigade. Before long, however, this seemingly precise British diplomat had caught on to the “American way” to the extent that this fall he often hiked up and down fashionable Embassy Row, minus not only his coat but his tie. No Stranger to U. S. Sir Alexander came to Washing- ton as head of the Britisi dele tion to the post-war security con- ference at historic Dumbarton Oaks. But, as Lord Halifax point- ed out, Sir Alexan by reprta- tion was no stranger to the United States. For some time he has b tioned as a likely suc Anthony Eden as foreign s and the press corps on that hi toric Sunday afternoon was an ious to get a first-hand app) of the man who some time might hold England’s ranking diplomatic post.

In line with the secrecy which has continued to surround the Dumbarton Oaks conversations to this day, Sir Alexander took up official & £ 3 Left, suit dress worn with striped taffeta peplum; center below, dress worn with printed blouse; right, svit, The three outfits pictured are veally one black crepe dress, but by a simple change of accessories they are made to serve different purposes.

He did say, how- ever, that preliminary negotiations, preceding the conference, indicated | that “all was well,” so far. Later, at the tea hour, Sir Alex- nder began to show some of the /armth of personality which is| putting him over at Washington ial affairs.

And there’s a day coming when every mother’s son of us will want to stand up and yell, to cheer ourselves hoarse over the greatest victory in history. But let’s not start the cheering yet. In fact, let’s not start it at all—over here. Let’s leave it to the fellows who are doing the job—the only fellows who will know when it’s done—to be- gin the celebrating. Our leaders have told us over and over again that the smashing of the Axis will be a slow job, a it! dangerous job, a bloody job. And they’ve told us what our own common sense confirms: that if we at home start throwing our hats in the air and easing up before the, job's com- pletely done, it will be slower, more dangerous, bloodier. Right now, it’s still up to us to buy War Bonds —and to keep on buying War Bonds. Let's do that. Let’s keep bearing down till we get the news of final victory from the only place such news can come: the battle-line. If we do that, we'll have the right to join the -cheering when the time comes.
