/ Charles Heap. Of Caldershaw. Rochdale.
/ Lancashire. England. accompanied bv his
| two daughter and two nieces. the Misses
Margaret Heap. Jessie Heap. Emily Heap.
and Alice Watson. is at the Shorehanl.
| Mr. Heap Is interested 10 the cloth
bleaching business, and this years visit
20 this country IS his seventeenth. Mr.
Heap said that since his last visit 10
I Washington some eight or nine years
ago this city has improved wonder
fully" that in fact. he did not recognize
it as the same place.
Il left England before King Edward
died. said Mr.. Heap 'and I cannot say
anything therefore about the popular
feeling in England with regard 10 King
/ George. He has not had the advantage
Of his illustrious father, who was before
the public many years before he as
cended the throne Of Great Britain.
King Edward had the full confidence Of
the English people. and he knew how 20
gain and hold their love and esteem. I
/ nave no doubt that King George viii
make every effort 10 gain the confidence
and love Of his people"
Speaking about the possibility OF there
being a general Parliamentary election In
the near future Mr.. Heap said he be-
heved that the Liberal government would
stay in power, that there would be no
election IN the near future, and that n
there should be the Liberal party would
4 be returned 20 Parliament with an in
creased majority.
The Uni0nlst and Conservative leaders
during the last campaign threw the coun-
! try into CONSERVATION with their German
invasion talk continued Mr. Heap.
There was absolutely no ground for
such alarmist talks. They were posi-
/ lively outrageous and criminal. Lord
Balfour even made use Of the German
scare talk for political purposes, and the
people realize now that there was no
reason 20 fear any immediate outbreak
OF hOstilities on the part Of Germany.
Relations between the German and the
English business man are good. and there
1 is no reason why England and Germany
should 20 70 war. On the contrary. there
/ Is every reason why these two nations
should be the best Of friends"
