KING (iy Associated Pressy LONDON, Jan. 31.—The aver- age Englishman Ameri- cans as cousins—but the average Englishman doesn’t care much for cousins. Common heritage of race, cus- toms, laws and language and all the oratorical standbys of lectur- after-dinner speakers and | hands-across-the-sea advocates fail to explain what the average Eng- jlishman thinks of America and Americans and why he thinks it.

Who won the war? War debts!

The two countries read each other’s news, see each other’s movies, exchange ship- loads of lecturers, tourists and book: England gets more of the tourists, America more lecturers. Wild and Woolly Still, the old ideas die hard. The average Englishman always has believed that America is a_ wild and woolly land. Indians may have been displaced by machine- gunning gangsters, but the net re- sult is about the same. Americans are rough and ready Yankee cous- ins, often a little uncouth, with more whoopee than sense in their makeup. Americans still are “dollar chase and Englishmen con- tinue to chase the dollar heiresses, even if the dollars are baloney or rubber. They know the potential re- sources of the United States.
